The restaurant does an incredible takeout business as there's usually always tables to be had if you want to eat in. When I call in an order it's generally ready and 10 or 15 minutes. I love the chicken and broccoli with fried rice and for me it equals two meals. Pricing is generally $15 to $20 depending on what you order. Which is certainly worth it, considering the portion size. read more

Over the last few years, this has become our small group of ladies' and our families' favorite place for lunch in Longmont. No other place we have tried so far in Longmont beats Gourmet China's exceptional Quality / Price ratio. Being so affordable and so reliable fits perfectly well into our limited budgets. We always unanimously enjoy not only the great selection of dishes on their Happy Menu but also the generous portion size as well as the very flavorful taste of all dishes on this menu. This restaurant is always very clean, the service is fairly fast and -- above all, the waitress is always very attentive. If we wished they were opened for lunch on Saturdays, we do understand they deserve some rest after offering such an overall great service. read more

Ordered takeout this evening. Got really good ribs and lemon chicken. I also ordered Pad Thai for myself. There were not Pad Thai noodles, just regular round noodes they use for their other dishes. It did not taste like Pad Thai and pretty much had no taste at all. I called and asked for my money back for that dish and they said that they would do that. I will follow up if they do not. I elevated this to 4 stars from 2. Have a great day. read more

China Gourmet - Does not look like Pad Thai - Chinese Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

We were very disappointed as we have been to the Longmont location many times. Kung pao chicken was unrecognizable, stringy and tough. Almost inedible. Sesame tofu had few sesame seeds and the same overly sweet sauce and breading that was on the chicken - which was not like any kung pao chicken that we have had there or anywhere. The egg rolls were tough, not crispy, and hollow with very little stuffing. No fortune cookies or soy sauce. The packaged mustard was leaking. I'm sorry, but we won't be back. read more

This spot is fine for a quick meal. The Happy Family is flavorful, and the beef lo mein is good, though everything feels pretty standard for Chinese takeout. The attendant was very nice when I picked up. We did take out read more

My order of pupu platter and sesame chicken was hot, fresh and delicious. I will definitely order again. I will get mooshu next time! I saw it on menu after I ordered and it is difficult to find. My fried rice was perfect! My crab wonton, chicken wings, egg rolls and shrimp tempura were all super crispy! Really great food. read more

We used to eat here quite a lot - at least 2x a month, but then their prices increased too high over the last few years. They don't offer any lunch specials for online ordering delivery. Currently to dine in you must be willing to spend $15-25 with mostly all chicken dishes in the $17-19 range. I understand food costs have increased in the last three years, but salaries have not. The food here has always been "just ok" enough to eat their food, but for the current prices we have permanently taken this establishment off our list of regular places we eat, and its very close to our house. I wish restaurants would understand that they really need to find a better balance between all their costs and the reality of every day families trying to afford food. Eating out is a luxury, but when the quality is low and the price is too high it just makes it impossible to enjoy this "luxury" to be a regular customer of this establishment. read more

Exactly what you want from a casual pan asian restaurant. The Szechuan Eggplant hit the spot.

Great food, nice environment and reasonable prices. This is our go-to when we have a hankering for Chinese food in Longmont.

We were recommended here by some friends who said that this is the only place they go to for Chinese food. So we wandered up here on a weekday For some dinner. The ambience is really nice it's a little bit different and how you order. You walk up to the counter to order from a white de variety of choices, and then you're given a number to put on your table and your food is served to you along with any drinks. First and foremost, the portions are huge. We have been eating Leftovers for days. We ordered sesame chicken and sweet-and-sour chicken, moo goo gai pan, and lo mein. Everything was very good As expected. The only thing I didn't like, is having no service. We did have servers bring food out and drinks out but the rest of it if you wanted to get a refill you had to go in and ask for a one. I don't mind doing this the problem is only 50% of the time did we get service. So it was a little disappointing to not be able to have drinks when we ordered them. Otherwise this place is a great place to go and it also has a nice patio which was perfect for us because we had our grandkids along and they were running around, and since we had the patio to herself on a weeknight we weren't bothering anybody. read more

China Gourmet - Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

This is my fav place for a nice lunch. The place is under a huge tree and theres peace and quite around. I love to look outside the window and dig into my warm meal with amazing conversations. We are vegetarians and love the options here. The menu clearly says to ask them to skip chicken stock in vegan and veggie dishes. The staff is really kind and they always let us know if there was something non vegan in the dishes. When I ordered Singapore rice noodles - and asked for no meat and no chicken stock - they let us know it had egg too - which we had skipped. Some of the dishes we have tried and are "go-back-and-eat-again" good Pan fried noodles, Singapore rice noodles, vegetarians delight (flavorful garlic white sauce ), mu shu vegetables (contains with egg), coconut curry vegetables, eggplant in hot garlic sauce, eggplant tofu hot pot. Don't forget to ask for the spicy chili paste if you like spicy. The lunch portions are generous and come with a spring roll and a soup. We really think it a great deal. We've tried the Longmont china gourmet- and we thought Boulder one was far more better. They do accept credit cards . read more

This used to be the best in town. Since it changed hands the food and service has gone downhill.

Got takeout of Sesame beef. The quality of the meat was poor. Plus, the meat was sliced too thickly. The soup was good and the egg rolls and wontons were good. I can't comment on other items. read more

Missed a few notes on the order, but generally good food! Definitely recommend for takeout.

I'm going to have to create the negative rating app for this place. Maybe I deserved this experience by staying in the restaurant after walking in and seeing 4 tables uncleared, food-laden, and only 3 patrons dining but 4 employees. Clearly, I am responsible for not walking out after seeing how lax their position is on cleanliness. I honestly thought we just go here after a dinner rush or something. (it was about 7 pm). We ordered broccoli beef, dumplings, Grand Marnier shrimp (please spare yourself this particular horror), crispy cauliflower, hot pot beef brisket, and udon noodles. The udon noodles were good. We didn't complain about the cauliflower that was mushy. It happens. After realizing the shrimp dish is cold breaded shrimp ambrosia with pineapple. Their response was "you ordered it so we won't refund it" (Young lady with glasses this is not customer service). You see, they have a cold food section and this was not in it so we didn't expect it but we said okay with dismay. We also noted the HOT pot was cold but after her earlier response, we just decided to collect what we would eat and leave. I complained after on the third bite of his food, my husband bit into a cold piece of beef in the beef broccoli. While my husband boxed my food, an older Asian male came to the register and was talking animately in another language to the cashier while I was trying to explain my dismay. My husband felt threatened by the way they were behaving and came to support me. We had no idea what they were saying so this was based only on the way the man was postured. I noted the word hot was actually in the meal name for the hot pot and 75% of the meal was still on the table I asked her to refund the HOT pot and the beef broccoli. This amounted to 20.00 for each meal. As you see in the picture the food is basically untouched except for my noodles which we had boxed up. This girl came to our table and OPENED MY BOXED FOOD to make sure none of the nasty food was being taken to go. She aggressively berated my husband for eating all of his food It was clearly ALL still on the table. After her handling my food, we threw it away. I hope the owner knows I will be filing a small claims action for this because for 120.00 we only asked for a small reduction based on having a majority of food that wasn't eaten and then they came and made sure the ONE good dish was not edible. We accepted the poor food, we accepted the loss and then they had the audacity to be rude and ruin the small bit that was palatable. Unacceptable. Shame on you. How are you still in business? I believe it is because you think you can get away with this behavior but you went out of your way to ruin what was already a bad meal. I will make time for you to feel this. See you in small claims court. read more

China Gourmet - a table full of food - Chinese Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

My girls and I were the only ones besides a few people carrying out their meals. The restaurant building is easy to see, welcoming and attractive to the eye. There was only a few hostesses, a few cooks and possibly the manager or owner was there to make my Bloody Mary. The order if things is different. They seat you, they take your drink order, you review the menu and then you go up to the counter and order your food, they bring you your food. If you want water, it's self serve. I ordered the Seasame Scallops which were very good. Both of my daughters had Seasame Chicken and their friend had Pan Fried Noodles with veggies. China Gourmet has very good food. Each of our meals were very fresh! The price for everything was a bit high but overall very worth the $60+ spent for 4 people. read more

Nothing gourmet. Terrible food. Egg rolls were still cold. Salmon looked like catfood. Seafood vegetable soup had 2 shrimp pieces. When we complained we realized they didn't care. Sad because the place looks very nice and in a good location. read more

I have always had reasonably good service from China Gourmet. Recently I ordered takeout for myself and one other person. When I opened the food containers, I discovered the restaurant had sent me chicken instead of the mu shu pork I ordered. I called the restaurant for assistance. I asked if there could be a resolution other than driving all the way back as it was a bit of a distance. I asked if they would consider a partial credit - chicken was not my favorite. It was an annoyance rather than an emergency but I did expect some small good will gesture. I was told that I should wait until I came to the restaurant again for an order. I should then tell the wait staff that I was owed a credit. All I had to do was tell them the date and the complete story. No names could be referenced. And nobody wanted to pass me on to the manager to discuss the situation. Really? I was surprised that I could not speak to the manager and that the remedy for their mistake seemed a delaying tactic rather than a customer accommodation. It seemed like such a straightforward and easy solution, but the length of the conversation around such a small credit to satisfy a customer led me to the conclusion China Gourmet was more interested in staving off a credit than in keeping a customer happy. It will give me pause next time I am ready to order a Chinese meal. Pretty sure it will not be China Gourmet. read more

UPDATE - Still about the same. The food tastes fresh and there's quite a good variety. Good prices for lunch and dinner. Good precautions for Covid. Lunch comes with a drink, side and soup. I got the Happy Family with fried rice, wonton and miso soup. Very tasty. My spouse ordered the Kung Pao Triple Delight. Also very tasteful. Recommend. read more

China Gourmet is kind of like the fast food of Chinese restaurants. I had never visited - but was hankering for some Chinese food one evening. You stand in line, order and pay - take a number, then sit down. They then deliver your food to your table. I ordered the Hot and Sour soup, egg rolls (with a side of authentic house Chinese mustard) and Kung Pao chicken - extra spicy. The soup was served in a tiny cup. Apparently your options for soup are the tiny cup - or a vat meant to share with 3-4 people. I would have preferred a in-between option - a bowl of Hot and Sour soup for one. The Kung Pao chicken was rather bland. The only thing that was really good in my opinion - were the fried vegetable rolls - and the Chinese mustard. The mustard was good enough to induce the nasal head rush, coughing, and a few tears. I call that good. I wish the rest of the food was a good as the rolls and the mustard. #ChinaGourmet read more

I went there for lunch, around 12:30 pm. There where a few people finishing there food, it wasn't busy at all. A server held up a menue and made me walk across the room to get it. I am a senior so having it brought to me whould have been easier for me. I sat at a table and made my selection quickly. Then I waited as the 3 servers cleared tables the stood around for a long time. After 10 or 15 minutes of no service, I got up and left. I can't tell you if the food is any good and I never will because I will never go back there!​ read more

Sesame chicken was the right amount of crispy, spicy and sweet. Fried rice was standard but good and the garlic edamame yum. Good Chinese food! Order at the front and food came out in 5 minutes. Would come back!! Wish it was closer to Berthoud. Had booster seats for my babes and overall open, chill-vibes. read more

We were eating and talking when my husband sees a cockroach on the booth back. Absolutely unacceptable. Never again. Be aware...

Customer service is not a priortiy at this overly-chilled restaurant. Egg drop soup was so-so. "Lightly fried" scallops tasted raw. I had to pay again to get edible food. I do not recommend this place. read more

Chinese food is the same about everywhere you go. It is similar at this place. Enjoyed the General Tao's Chicken and rice.

This place has a huge menu and the food is always hot; the service tends to be friendly but slow. We come here periodically because it's nearby, so I've tried many of the dishes. The food tends to be bland overall. I like the happy family and the shrimp dishes, and the vegetables are cooked well. Egg rolls are good. The wontons (crab and regular) and dumplings are under filled so they mostly taste like wrappers. In general I wish things were seasoned more. read more

This place used to make great food...so we keep trying it and it continues to be awful. All of the food is way too salty and simply overall each dish we try now just doesn't taste like anyone there knows how to cook anymore. Very unfortunate. I have always found the service to be great and the staff to be friendly, but when the food is that bad, that doesn't matter much. We will not return again. read more

I ordered take out last night for a friend and myself. He was very happy with the Happy Family dinner. I was dismayed about my dinner. I ordered the spicy curry chicken. One of my favorites most everywhere I go to eat. China Gourmet's had no spice to it, while it had a yellow sauce, I could not taste any curry and it seemed pasty. The sad meal had no flavor at all. The restaurant was not busy at all, only two tables had people sitting at them. While I was there waiting for my meal I watched three food plates being returned as incorrect. The staff seemed to not know what food to take to which table. The kitchen was very chaotic for so few customers. read more

Very good food. We ordered General Taos Chicken which came with soup, rice, and a crab Rangoon. I also ordered a side of pork lo Mein which was one of the better I've had. A lot of times it's extremely greasy, this was light and flavorful. The General Taos chicken was cooked nicely, full of flavor and not drowned in sauce. My only complaint would be the fried rice, it was room temperature and lacked any discernible flavor. Just brown rice with a few carrot pieces and peas read more

Tried as a tourist in Longmont, CO. Excellent quality ingredients and great taste. Quick service, too. If in the area again, would definitely return. read more

Sorry, but the potstickers were doughy & undercooked. Egg rolls & beef broccoli were okay.

Authentic Chinese plate just like the one you will get at a local mom-and-pop restaurant in China. I'm so happy there is such a great Chinese restaurant in Longmont to satisfy my taste buds of home town. As far as flavor goes, it's good but sometimes too salty for me, so I usually ask for no salt or low sodium which works perfect. Their service is great and can't wait to come back again! read more

China Gourmet - Kungpao Trio (shrimp, chicken, beef are super tender! ) - Chinese Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

This used to be a great restaurant. The new ownership has changed the recipes, are unable to get orders correct, and don't care about their customers. Our last two orders have been takeout. Both times, fried rice was requested and white rice was given. When we brought this up today when we ordered they didn't care. This could be overlooked, but they changed the recipes and the food was bland and overall disappointing. We will not go back. read more

I will never return to this place to eat again. The food was not good although they had a big selection of food items on the menu. The service was terrible. We tipped even though I had to get our own utensils, my drink and we we never checked on once we placed our order with the cashier. On top of that I found a small fly in my fried rice. The whole vibe was not good to me. read more

Hard to rate, 3.5 stars. Sometimes the food is really awesome here, and mostly reliable for its style. Recently we had 3 different kinds of salt & pepper after we realized it was fairly good - and all 3 had zero salt! Subsequent order was undersalted but had some salt. Everything we've tried has been pretty good and fresh. Recommend the chinese menu... read more

In town for training and I figured id give it a go . The place was nice enough but the food was dreadful . Couldn't even stick my fork into the chicken . I would avoid at all cost read more

This used to be my favorite place, Nora was awesome, food was always great, fresh and amazing flavor...no more and I'll never go again until things change. The new owners don't care or know what they are doing, food isn't edible, sad but they need to go out of business and we get a good ownership group again before I ever subject my tastebuds or stomach to this food. Disgusting. read more

The chicken used for the orange chicken dish tasted old not spicy at all Cashew chicken was taste less terrible food read more

Wow! I'm impressed. This has been the first Chinese restaurant that has had anything close to the authentic flavors and ingredients of the Chinese food in Hawaii or San Francisco and areas of higher Chinese population.authentic I'm so sick of Americanized Chinese and the restaurants that try to cover all Asian cuisine. Though I see that China Gourmet does offer some Thai dishes and I am wary about trying them. They have great lunch specials with soup and other accompaniments. Really good sized plates of food as well. I really can't wait to eat there again! read more
