I am a regular and frequent customer of China Gourmet. I've yet to have a bad experience with this family owned and run restaurant. Only once was a dish in my order wrong, and when we tried it, it was delicious. I can recommend China Gourmet 100% - It's my go-to for Chinese take-out. read more

Food was terrible. We've bought food from here many times over the years. But last night we ordered moo goo gypan it was tasteless and had way too many mushrooms and not many other vegetables. The wonton soup was ok. The shrimp lomein had no flavor and teeny tiny shrimp. Was it canned shrimp? The chicken curry was ok. The bill $57 shouldn't have been over $40. We won't be ordering from here again. read more

I ordered Egg Foo Young Chicken combo and fried wonton. Drove 1/2 hour home to enjoy my supper, and save leftovers for tomorrow. The egg foo young tasted like it was fried in old grease, and the wontons were a meatball in a wonton wrapper, not what I expected, or have ever seen before. The only edible item was the egg roll, and it was really good, thus 1 star. Live and learn. I think I'll live, and I'm learning there are 0 good Asian food establishments in Florida. read more

This was really good. The boneless ribs were fresh and flavorful. The rice was not as flavorful. It did have a lot of meat and vegetables though. I also had an order of fried chicken wings that were fried to perfection. The service was very quick and efficient. And the restaurant was very clean although there wasn't much seating if you wanted to sit in. This is definitely more of an order to go type of establishments I would recommend eating here if you want to have good Chinese takeout. read more

China Gourmet - 31. House Fried Rice with Boneless Ribs - Chinese Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

This is a small family run, mostly takeout establishment. There is no ambiance. The place was clean and the food was good. I had hot and sour soup which was both. The mushu pork, however, was way above average and there was a lot of it. So much in fact I had leftovers the next morning for breakfast...very tasty indeed. There are a million of these little Chinese restaurants around and this one has been here s long time...a testament to the quality of its offerings. I was a little surprised by the tastiness of my meal, you might be surprised too. Prices were reasonable. read more

Always excellent food with great taste! Very accommodating to changes to dishes. Highly recommend

First time trying and can say I won't be back!! Food tasted old and over fried, I recommend China Taste its way better.

My husband loved the general tso and he is VERY picky about his Chinese food. I ordered beef lo mein noodles they were delicious coated with a good amount of sauce but a little too much meat I personally like a little more vegetables but to each their own. I also ordered beef and broccoli which I was not crazy about it was sweeter than I am used too but oddly it was better the next day. I would order from here again! read more

Best Chinese carry out. When home alone it was my favorite kitchen. After moving from Bradenton I resolved to return when in-the-neighborhood. Price & Taste are worthy of leaving I-75 to make a pit stop. Unfortunately, local Lockwood traffic has grown so much that the complexities of a casual visit one must first contemplate the time and weather. 10 years later the tastes are still great. read more

Food is very tasty but lately we've had chewy, gristly chicken we had to spit out. Make sure you check your bag before you leave, they have forgotten some items or gave us the wrong order sometimes and I had to drive all the way back from home to get my order. They ask for gratuity which I don't think is right for a takeout order I'm picking up myself and their prices have increased. read more

Terrible. Waited 30 minutes an got the worst food ever. The restaurant was almost empty, they told me will be done in 10 minutes. Do not recommend. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant, every meal has been delicious, I highly recommend, love their combo dishes and egg rolls

Ordered three times vis DoorDash with consistent results. Steamed dumplings are good. General Tso chicken is crispy hot and tasty. Bourbon chicken not so much. Overly salty and feels like it sat in a warming tray for hours. Garlic triple delight also solid. Expensive delivery fees but the best we've had delivered yet, excluding DimSum King read more

We are local and order from here all the time. They are hard working and the food never disappoints

This is one of the best Chinese take out places in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. Everything is really good and at a good price. Its too bad I live about 25 mins away but I love it! read more

Happy family and appetizers like crab rangoon and beef satay very good lo mein below average its like spaghetti noodles with asian flare prefer rice noodles and more chicken and beef mixed in read more

Best Chinese food in Bradenton area. Portions are large and food taste great. Service could use improvement, but does not affect the food in anyway. A bit pricey but isn't today? Delivery option would also be helpful. Normally order for pick up since ambiance is not the best. read more

Typical strip mall quick Chinese food stop. Large portions for lunch special ($7.75), comes with pork fried rice and your choice of soups or egg roll. Would skip the hot & sour soup (bland) and go with another choice next time. read more

China Gourmet - Lunch special $7.75 menu - Chinese Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

The food is good, the lunch specials are good but the woman that runs that place is a greedy, grouchy and cold as ice. I have been going there for years because being from the northern states it is difficult to find good chinese food down here.I like the food, that is good, but this women never smiles, tries to shake you down for every penny. It is apparent she does not like Americans and only wants to get their wallets open. I have asked several times for a certain sauce for my food, 7 different times she has given me 7 different prices. Now mind you this is a tiny little container of a special sauce. Sometimes it is .40 cents, .60 cents, $1.00 and now $2.00. The container size is half the size of your thumb! Never once in 5 years of patronizing this business has this woman smiled as a greeting or at all, never once has she said "thank you". She does NOT appreciate her customers or customer loyalty. She should be thankful she is becoming wealthy in America and appreciate her AMERICAN CUSTOMERS. It is time for me to find a business that welcomes my money and appreciates it. read more

Service was horrible called the inspection people because they had termites in my food n they didn't do nothing because they cleaned up before they came read more

Tonight Boo and I are trying a new Chinese food place. It does not disappoint!!! For years we were going to the China Garden near IMG. Tonight Boo wanted to try a place called China Gourmet. It's located in the plaza at Lockwood Ridge and SR 70 in Braaaa-den-ton. OMG!!! I thought the other place was the best. Been going there over 16 years!!! This place blows it away! This is the closest thing to New York style Chinese food I've had here in Florida!!!! This food is so delicious!!! read more

This place Has gotten better since they first opened . Food is tastier and seasoned perfectly. The dumplings were delicious and the dipping sauce a perfect accompaniment. The house special lo mien is much better than the first time we tried it If you went there a few years ago and didn't like it, you should give it another try. read more

The food was tasteless. It was very disappointing. I cannot recommend it. We went there hoping to have a nice meal but found ourselves saying this is "one and done". read more

It wasn't good, edible yes but not worth a 2nd chance to me. Different tastes then other Chinese restaurants.

Yesterday we read the ordering process at China gourmet. It was smooth easy to understand and very fast. When we picked up the food it wasn't nearly as good. The meal started out with some delicious hot and sour soup. The next course we order spring rolls. We expected spring rolls! The delicious vegetable and shrimp bundles wrapped in rice paper that melts in your mouth. Then we continued to eat the things that serve the spring rolls. They turned out to be thumb size pieces of Oily dough with a Nana Danna find interior. It continued downhill. The mou she shrimp was burned. There's no other way to describe it. We know they were busy with Christmas dinner so we're being generous and giving them to stars. read more

Great choice for Chinese! This place is non-stop busy...no need to say more. The house fried rice is DELICIOUS!!

THIS ONE Has Gone into"Major DECLIN :-(( It's been slowly hit or miss with this place. Called in A Pick Up Order. We've Called in a few times. Ordered The Moo Goo Gai pan. The General Tso' Chicken Combo Meal, (Opted for Pork Fried Rice,Egg Roll). Last Couple Of Visits, OMG. This is the product of getting complaisant and taking your Customers for Granted. Arrived there aprox 30 min after placing order. The woman at the counter. Has difficulty communicating. First, she could not find our Food. A Couple behind me were rolling their eyes. And wanted to leave. FINALLY. After Yelling at the Cooks in the back. A bag is handed to her thru the kitchen window. Definetlyyy... Poor People Skills. The Customer Service is Now Pretty Much ZERO. Have You Ever Been to A Place? That you greet them Politely, with a Smile. You are looking forward to a pleasant Experience? And... THEY GIVE YOU THE ATTITUDE OF -- We Are Doing You A favor By Allowing You To Come In Our Front Door. Glad to be back at Home. Annnd?! Oh NO:-! Not Only Was The Food Order incorrect. It was Bland, Luke warm(yuck) One of the Orders Had Brown Rice. No Pork Fried Rice. Called and pretty much was told. To bad So Sad. Now that's a great way to do Business & Succeed(lol). WASTE OF $ AND TIME. read more

Horrible service no reason to smack your teeth at a customer disrespectful that's how you will lose you business if you can't be respectful then don't work there read more

I have to say they are a high class taste without the high class price, I honestly recommend this fast food china to go all the time never I have never had a bad order , my friends agree and they are not Yelpers. China Gourmet keep up the great work!! read more

We were literally missing half our order and they said "we don't have your order" okay well I paid for it? 40$ worth of food to receive HALF my order. No response. Poor business will never go again and don't recommend to anyone else either!! read more

I've lived in lots of big cities with unlimited supply of good Chinese food. Unfortunately Bradenton/Sarasota seems to have a lack of decent options. My mom has lived here for 10 years and we had yet to discover something worth going back to. Then we discovered China Gourmet. We ordered the beef and broccoli and the black pepper chicken. Beef was super tender and my mom said the sauce was delicious. The chicken was chunks of real chicken and the breading was so light you couldn't even taste it. It just tasted like real, tender, delicious chicken. The sauce was spicy but not too spicy (it's black pepper chicken after all). Honestly no complaints. We will definitely be going back and trying more items. If you haven't found good Chinese food in the area then you have to give this place a try. read more

I traveled to try this as I've determined this place has the best reviews out of all the Chinese restaurants in Bradenton. I was NOT disappointed. From the moment I got it in the car I could SMELL the freshness. We ordered; quart of sweet and sour chicken, fried dumplings, French fries (because, kids), boneless spare ribs, Mongolian beef, egg rolls, pork fried rice and crab Rangoon. Literally everything was so delicious, there wasn't one thing I ate that I wasn't crazy about- it was really really good. No stomach aches after (something i tend to experience with some other Chinese food places around here). I can't wait to go back and try more- oh and they are right next to Sushi Hana! (One of my favs for Sushi!) read more

This was our first time trying China Gourmet and we were extremely impressed with everything we ordered. Complements to the chef! We tried crab rangoon, general Tso's chicken, beef lo mein, egg foo young, pork fried rice, and they even threw in an egg roll and some white rice. Would order everything again and the beef lo mein was my favorite. We found our new fav Chinese takeout. Thank you! read more

This is the best NYC style Chinese food in Bradenton hands down! They're fast & it's always delicious. Plus it's a family business & I love to support local families. read more

Always terrific food quality and quick service. Ambiance is nil but who cares with food prepared this well?

Large portions, friendly service. We will go back. Husband loved his Singapore mai fun, daughter loved her lo mein, hot and sour soup really good. I still haven't found MY beef sechwan or crab Rangoon ANYWHERE. No offense but crab rangoons in area are like a piece of leather or taste like a pastry . We are used to a very light and crispy phyllo dough. And so far my 3 beef Szechwans have been either sweet, not spicy, or seasoned oddly. Maybe I am the problem. But we are going back to China Gourmet. I can tell they don't appear to use MSG and I'll just find a different appetizer and entree. read more

Very disorganized! My 30 minute wait for takeout order was one hour. Spare ribs were all bone and a thick sweet sauce, not meaty. Generals chicken with white meat was good. My sweet and sour chicken was ALL breading, very little chicken. Went there because my usual restaurant was closed on Monday, next time I'll wait the extra day. read more

Food was excellent as always. We decided to order online this time for a 4:15 pickup. Got there a 4:12 and our order was not available for over 20 minutes. We requested to have brown rice instead of white rice. In the past they never charged for this change. This time we ordered three mains and were charged $12 extra for the brown rice...$4 extra for each of the three entries! Unfortunately we will be going elsewhere for our Chinese food. read more

China Gourmet - Excessive charge for brown rice! - Chinese Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Take out food (or local delivery), -not really a great fancy place for a sit down meal although you could. The food however is really good and very generous. Truthfully, We live quite a few miles away (Cortez Rd Ironwood) and make the trip when wishing some good Chinese food. They have a great lunch menu too for $6.50 that includes two extra sides including soup, rice, soda and/or egg roll. I enjoy the Mei Fun, House Special that takes me two days to finish and tastes delicious. I also like their Hot & Sour soup. Much more to try in the future! read more

On the outside/inside this is your typical Chinese strip mall food joint and it's not much to look at; BUT the food here is always consistent, hot, and fresh. Takeout is pretty quick (around 10 minutes) as well. For that reason they have earned my business. read more
