I remember going here on and off for years! Still friendly service and good size portions. I haven't found a good place for egg foo young in Modesto and this was better than anywhere I've tried. I got egg foo young, rice and chow mein combination. By the time I returned home it as all still hot. read more

The "food" was the most awful tasting and foul smelling garbage I have ever tasted. I had two bites. One of alleged sweet and sour pork, which was in chewable gristle. The entire portion was gristle because I disected the pork. The second bite was spaghetti noodles and some sort of awful smelling sauce. This was disguised as chow mein but not a single vegetable. Spaghetti and sauce. I was not offered a refund when I complained to the woman who was working. Infact, She hung up on me. The following day the manager offered to replace the food. Uugh! Not a chance could I ever go near that place without dry heaving. Thanks but I will take the loss. Gross. read more

Still looking for Chinese food that is above average. And as always when trying a local restaurant I hope for the best. Unfortunately the only thing to recommend the location is the friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility and the chance to hear singing from the kitchen. The food was disappointing. Our beef chow mein was filled with vegetables, beef and a generous portion of noodles but lacked any discernible flavor. While the pork fried rice only provided a smokey taste which one could attribute to the pork itself if you could taste pork. An aside, the temperature inside the restaurant was very close to the temperature outside the restaurant , which happened to be in the mid nineties making to go the only viable option. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - #14 combination of Pork fried rice, Beef chow mein, and sliced Bar-B-Q Pork. #18 combination of Pork fried rice, Pork chow mein, and Garlic Chicken. The portions are giant! The chow mein is not very good since it's only flavored with soy sauce and the bean sprouts don't feel cooked all the way down. The fried rice is surprisingly good but a bit on the oily side. The Bar-B-Q Pork was a bit dry and good use more sauce or flavoring but the garlic chicken was great! Service: 5/5 - quick service. Ambiance: n/a - ordered food to go. Value for price: 5/5 - food is okay but the pricing is great for the amount of food we got! read more

My go to for Chinese food! Whenever it's a late night and I get that craving for good Chinese food China gourmet is my place . I Personally love the sweet and sour chicken with double fried rice instead of chow mein. But recently been branching out to there other combos ! The food is great for the price I believe around 12$ a combo plate which easily feeds one. I usually order to go but the have seating there . read more

Honestly the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I got chow main, orange chicken, kung pow chicken & springs rolls. Chow main- bland and cold and tasted old. Orange chicken- also cold and also not fully cooked tasted the batter still. Kung Pow- just cold only had some flavor due to asking for it to be spicy Springs Rolls- Cold Mushy & also very bland. 37$ what a waist! Just threw the food away. read more

My favorite fast chinese food. Price is amazing and they give alot of food. 1 plate fed 3 of us.

This place has been around forever and their food is consistently good, our order tonight was amazing

The last time we were there it was better good and they gave a big portion of food and it was great service, the pork chow mein was very good and the broccoli beef was real good read more

So it hurts me to leave this review because I grew up on this restaurant. I have not been here in a long while and I was dying to eat here. However this place must have changed ownership because the food was not the same. I knew it changed when I verified the chicken in foil came without green onions which it used to. Now it comes with green onions. I ordered the 13. My dad ordered his meal and some bbq pork. The bbq pork was no good. It was soaking in juice. Yuck. As for my meal, the rice was not good at all. I used to love their rice. I would come here just for the rice. I'm sorry but I probably wouldn't return. read more

China Gourmet - Combo Plate 17: Pork Chow Mein, Pork Fried Rice and Beef with Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

Never again will I order from this place. Phoned an order at 430 pm. Ordered 2 salt and pepper chicken wings ( 8 pieces an order ) for $9.99 a set. As well as just pork fried rice. I got there at 501 pm and paid with a credit card. The asian lady who works the counter and the phone tries to juggle answering the phone and taking In person orders. It was 520 pm ( almost 50 mins from my call) and my order wasn't done yet. Not sure how long it takes to fry chicken but the time I waited sitting in a room full of peeps, some not even wearing a mask (even though the window has a sign that face mask was needed to enter) Many orders were piling up on the side and she wasn't even checking to see what's going on with my order and neglecting my eye to eye contact. It got to the point that I had to ask "is my order ready" before she took another in person order. When the food finally arrived, she didn't apologize and didn't even hand me the food which I had to pick up on the table. Waiting an hour for my order and seeing others get theirs who ordered after me was a turn off. read more

China Gourmet - Receipt of paying at 5:01 pm having phoned in at 430 pm and getting my order at 5:20 pm. This is the last money she will see from me - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

I've had some bad Chinese food in my life, but this is the absolute worst. The fried rice looked like it was cooked a week ago. The other dishes were plain, salty, and otherwise tasteless. I had the feeling the kitchen was out of food and had nothing but cabbage and soy sauce. Mine was a takeout order, but I once went inside the restaurant. It is depressing. I ordered the takeout because it was the only place nearby that was open on a holiday. I should have gone to the supermarket and bought a frozen dinner. I'm not trying to be mean or cruel, but I really think the owners of this place should do everyone a favor and get out of the restaurant business. There are lots of other ways to make a living. This food is so bad that charging money for it is downright unethical. read more

This usto be my favorite go to for Chinese food. I ordered yesterday and the food tasted of old oil. My rice was hard and my pot stickers tasted like old oil. Gross don't waste your money read more

Haven't ate here in a few years. Use to be my go to until I moved away. Come back to try a plate and it has gone down hill. Their chowmien use to be thick savory noodles. Now it's like thin spaghetti noodles with zero flavor and dry. Plate was lacking flavor. Their prawns are different and not worth the price. Will not be returning. read more

Food was good like always. Doordashed it so all I can tell you how good it tasted. Portions were good size

We last ordered from China Gourmet a few years ago. It was fine then. So ordered today. The worst use of $60 we've ever spent. Sweet and sour pork, and oranges chicken were flavorless and lacking the right texture. Virtually no sauce on them. The egg foo young was heavy and flat. The substance was thick and heavy. The fried rice was dry. The broccoli beef sauce was over-thickened. Where most Chinese food digests quickly and you're hungry after a few hours, everyone in our family was bloated still 5 hours later. Horrible experience. They really don't deserve even one star. read more

the lady working the register was very nice and the food was served hot and fast, i am going to eat here again read more

The people who took our order were nice but unfortunately the food was not very good in my opinion. We ordered the #18 Garlic chicken combos; a lot of the chicken pieces were very chewy, the rice tasted hard, looked like it was old and also had quite an obvious "refrigerator" taste. read more

Do not eat here!! Horrible food bad service. We got food for dinner got it home was all stick together like warmed up in microwave disgusting! Took all the food back to the restaurant they refused to refund our money. They laughed terrible people!! read more

This is my absolute favorite Chinese takeout go here at least once a week love their soups they're hot and sour and more wonton and a regular wonton. Also, they're sweet-and-sour pork and vegetable chop Suey, but all their food is good that I've eaten there. Been going there for 20 years. read more

I ordered the family for 4, orange chicken & pot stickers. The food had no flavor. Everything stuck together. When I took the food out of the boxes, it was all stuck together like as if I pulled it out of the refrigerator and reheated the food in the microwave. My family and I didn't even finish anything, and absolute waste of $70+. read more

China Gourmet - Nasty Chinese food - Chinese Near Me - Modesto, California

Best Chinese food I've had in a while! I got the sweet and sour chicken plate with pot stickers. Everything was great but the pot stickers are the BEST read more

Cheap, fast and GOOD. I usually find that hole in the wall places that have been around for YEARS, are doing something right..right? Decided on a whim to try this spot. I go to the gym in the same parking lot and, knew I had to either make dinner after my workout (bleh) or just go ahead and pick something up (yay!) I always see, people coming in and out and my teenagers, had actually asked for Filipino food for dinner. Again..I REALLY didn't feel like cooking...so, why not some Chinese food!? Went in, saw that it had some indoor dining, but clearly more folks do the "call in order" for this spot. The woman at the counter greeted me and nodded towards the menus in a cardboard box. Took one and glanced over it. Decent pricing, and lots of options for thier combination plates, which I was happy that they served all day long. I've found that more places around riverbank/Modesto only have combo plates for lunch hour. I ordered two separate combo plates. Both with pork fried rice and pork chow mien. Protein for both was 4 pieces in each combo plate of fried chicken (hefty sizes of drumettes and wings) chicken was crispy, not dry and had good flavor. Rice was also tasty, as well as the chowmein which I was pleasantly surprised was not the typical thick chowmein noodles! YAY! All in all. Kids were happy, enjoyed it. And I didn't have to cook! Will for sure be back to try other combinations plates, and other menu items. Oh and my bad for not getting any pictures. My kids snagged, the plates, and devoured. Oh well ;-) read more

The previous reviews had me skeptical but so glad I tried it anyways!! This is place is bomb. The Mongolian beef is exactly how I like it! Not just hella onion and bell peppers like other joints. Perfect. The Prawns were big and crispy with amazing flavor and the orange chicken was really good too. I'll def be back to this place!!! Best Chinese fast food I've had in Modesto. read more

We brought home some of usual favorites and were very pleased with the quality of the food and the quantity of the food. The sweet and sour pork was delicious, the lemon chicken was great, pork fried rice was good and so was the combination chow mien. The meal was ready as promised. I am planning to go back when we order Chinese food again. It's the best that we have found in town read more

Yummy! Went here for lunch when I forgot to make one... maybe I should forget more often! I got the lunch special number four I think pork fried rice, pork chow mien, and something else delicious! It was fast hot and just perfect honestly seriously very impressed! read more

Huge portions, served piping hot, by nice staff, so it's too bad that it's not better. I've never before encountered egg foo yung with this spongy texture. Pork chow mein was noodles, sliced meat, and salt. It was so bad that describing it accurately feels spiteful. But it's the second worst Chinese I've ever had, taking that crown from a hole in the wall in Wyoming circa 1988. read more

The tiny gem found in a hole in the wall. The food is amazing- so flavorful and abundant and the staff is so sweet.

I was soo impressed with their food. It was done to perfection. Tasted were spot on. Our favorites are usually orange chicken meal, walnut shrimp, chicken in foil and egg rolls. It's a small place but have been happy with their food for years now. read more

Very disappointed, I didn't know that there were new owners. Everything I ordered was a disaster. Tried the fried squid ,it was raw . Bread on the dipped squid uncooked. Fried rice , egg foo young and chow mien not good . I've been going to this place for many years. Unfortunately haven't been here in the last year. Won't be back !!! read more

Been coming here for 100 years! Or it feels like .. always great quality and MORE then enough

Flooded with teriyaki sauce to salty never again, ordered take out please get better with separating the food entrees

Chow mein was tasteless. Garlic chicken was salty. I ordered a combo and asked to upgrade to beef chow mein and shrimp fried rice, was an almost a $5 upgrade. Ordered two combos and potstickers. Total was $42 and threw away about $35 worth of food. Will never go back read more

For the past 20 years I have purchased food from China Gourmet. Last night was the last time I will ever buy anything there again! The quality of the food has gone done completely! The special chowmein was cold and was basically spaghetti noodles with 2 pieces of beef, 2 pieces of shrimp, 2 little slivers of pork and 2 pieces of chicken! It was bland with no flavor at all! The orange chicken was also terrible they added tons of chopped garlic and the changes the recipe for the batter and it hardly had any orange sauce. You had a bitter taste in your mouth with every bite. Don't waste your time going to China Gourmet, I surely won't! read more

I'm so disappointed!! Just picked up dinner for two at 5pm. Just returned all of the food at 5:30pm. It wasn't fit to eat. What a sad meal they threw together. Everything from the shrimp, chow mien, fried rice, chicken, prawns, & lets not forget the Sweet & Sour pork. None of it was fit to feed a dog. Took it back, they argued with me that it's the same. I didn't even ask for my $$ back, and of course they didn't offer it back. I've been to China Gourmet for years, but no more!!! read more
