Ribs
Dolores T.

Lemon chicken, orange chicken and walnut shrimp with a side of ribs and special fried rice was on point with boasting flavor and serving sizes to share. This place took 2026 restaurant of the year and I can say you will not be disappointed after you try it. Staff is cordial and friendly along with a great atmosphere to sit for a while and chat. If we are lucky enough to travel again through Paso we will most likely have to stop for a delicious meal.

Boy, I hate having to write reviews like this but, I gotta just keep it real. It's pretty darn expensive for what ya get. Having never been here before, I was excited to try it. Got the War wonton soup for my mom as she was sick. She said it was good. But, can ya really f up soup? A quart was 18 bucks :(. Down to the real reason I am writing this review. I ordered the Mongolian Beef as well. There was no flavor and about 10 pieces of beef. It wasn't even scallions. All onions. I have ordered this all over the place(including Hong Kong when I had a layover there) This was not it. I wanted to bring it back the next day since I opened the box and immediately shut it. I should add, I ordered to go and live about an hour away. Anyway, my mom ate 2 pieces of the beef so I thought ah, they are gonna think I ate it all. Ended it up just throwing it away, since it was plain and mostly onions. Pictures speak louder than my words tho. IFYKYK Mongolian Beef, isn't supposed to look like this. :(

Been to at least 50 different Chinese restaurants in my life and China Gourmet has THE best lunch specials in terms of taste, food quality/quantity and price. If you're wanting a great meal after wine tasting, come here!

Wonderful and friendly service with amazing and delicious food! The dining area in the restaurant is also very clean with great lighting and is decorated with beautiful Chinese paintings. I strongly recommend eating at China Gourmet!

Best Chinese food I've had in a very long time. We drove all the way from Pismo Beach, well worth the drive! BBQ Pork Chow Fun - Amazing Pupu Platter - Amazing (especially beef skewers)

Delicious twice cooked pork.

This is a really great lunch special, beautiful presentation in a special bento style box -see the photo. The food is very fresh, tasty, and large portions. Loved the pretty ambiance, great service, and tasty food. Highly recommended!

China Gourmet, located in Paso Robles, serves Chinese food with really fancy, upscale dining. They have an extensive wine wall with an incredible amount of local wine available! Their Chinese food is one of the best around, in my opinion. Everything we order is always fresh, super hot and absolutely delicious! My husband and I usually order chicken chow mein, orange chicken, sizzling black pepper steak and crab rangoon - Amazing!!! Only thing to note is that they are quite pricey (probably due to the fact that if you dine in it is quite fancy). We usually only order to-go/for pick up, so the price is a little steep since we're not staying in dine in, but, it's worth it in our opinion as good Chinese food is hard to come by in this area! Highly recommend if you're looking for really delicious Chinese food that never disappoints!

The food was so good and the customer service was amazing, They are all so kind and have conversations with you. I really enjoyed eating here.

I love it when someone serves me basic food right! We also had grilled fish plate which came with beans, rice, grilled fish and salad. This fish was grilled perfectly but it was bit bland.

We got 2 asada, 2 lengua, 2 shrimps, and 2 pastor -- all packed with flavors while it's hot and fresh. I love hot sauce, and it def hit the spot. Staff are always so friendly, tacos were not salty at all, and they always packed the food so neatly and just the right ratio of meat. They have their own parking lot to the side so if you can't find parking, park there. We ordered take out and even with the 17 min drive back home, the tacos still tasted fresh. I can't imagine what it would be like if we dine in. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting PR! Well worth the visit

But from the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better server. She recommended several dishes and, best of all, helped us make a few adjustments to the options for our kids. That kind of attention really makes a difference. I decided to go with the paella, and it ended up being a dish that everyone loved. We also tried the Bandeja Paisa, which was delicious. 9/10! My kids absolutely loved their pasta dishes, so we all left very happy.Without a doubt, this was a great choice and a very pleasant surprise. 100% recommended, especially if you're dining with your family.

We ordered that to share. It is insanely rich. It is dense and cheesy, and not really what I expected. I had a few bites but it wasn't really for me. For my main, I got the barramundi special that came with cooked vegetables and mashed potatoes. The fish was not great. It was cooked fine but a little fishy, which is usually not the case with barramundi. The cooked vegetables were also just fine, nothing special. The mashed potatoes, however, were excellent. The service was also not great. My friends ordered drinks and both were forgotten until we asked the server about the drinks. I wouldn't rush to come back, or if I did, maybe I would order differently.

Everyone is nice, welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. On this visit, we shared the Shishito Peppers and Chopped Salad, along with a few cocktails. I ordered the Fried Chicken, which was the Wednesday special, and my wife chose the Shrimp & Grits. Both the salad and Shishito Peppers were on point. The Fried Chicken came out hot and fresh, and they definitely give you plenty. The flavor was good, but most of the seasoning was in the crust rather than the meat itself. Without the crust, the chicken didn't have quite enough seasoning for my taste. That said, the crust was crispy, flavorful, and definitely did its job. Now, the Shrimp & Grits were a HIT! Buttery deliciousness and a straight-up flavor bomb! The grits were perfectly cooked, and the shrimp were tender, buttery, and delicious. Definitely a winner. Whether you're popping in for a cocktail and some snacks or sitting down for a full meal, either way, you won't be disappointed. The Hatch has a great atmosphere, good food, and friendly service. We always enjoy our visits, and this one was no different. I highly recommend The Hatch!

One of our top two fine-dining restaurants in Paso Robles, Il Cortile never fails to impress. The…read morestaff, service, and food are all 5-star. Once again, we stopped in for dinner on our most recent Paso trip and had another great experience. Full bar with wonderful classic cocktails, especially my favorite, an Old Fashioned, then a glass of wine with dinner. The wine list is made up of primarily local wineries, but there's other areas (foreign and domestic) sprinkled in. Corkage fee is $40 with a two-bottle limit per table. Haven't had a disappointing meal yet. Some of our favorites are the Capesante (seared scallops), Carpaccio di Tartufo appetizers, Fanny Bay Oysters (sold individually, when in season), and Angolotti di mais (which makes a nice, shared appetizer for the table). They usually have fantastic daily specials like a Pork Osso Bucco with Parmesan Risotto, which I had this time, as well as all their standard menu items. The portions are generous and quite delicious! We absolutely love Il Cortile and will continue to be loyal customers. I highly recommend that you give them a try when in town.

We came here for my birthday dinner with a 7:15 reservation, and while the food and our server Yuki…read morewere genuinely great, the hostess experience was so frustrating it colored the entire evening. We arrived on time and stood at the entrance for about 7 minutes with zero acknowledgment. Servers and bussers walked right past us, no one said a word. When the hostess finally showed up, there was no apology, just a question about our reservation. She said our table was "almost ready" since the current guests had paid, but then refused to seat us at either of two open 4 tops, saying she wanted to save them for larger parties, even though at least four other 4 tops around the room already had just two people seated at them. She offered us a drink while we waited "a few minutes." Fifteen minutes later, still no table and no drinks provided, while guests with later reservations were seated ahead of us. When we asked again, her story changed: now the original table hadn't actually paid yet. By this point it had been 25 minutes past our reservation, so we finally confronted her directly and pointed out the empty 4 tops with only two people at them. Her explanation was that those parties had reservations, and I reminded her that we had a reservation too. She reluctantly seated us after that, with no apology or acknowledgement. What made it even more frustrating was watching her, later in the evening, seat other parties of two at 4 tops without any hesitation at all. There was never any acknowledgment of the wait or any reason given for why the rules seemed to apply differently to us. It's a shame, because the food and Yuki's service were excellent and deserved a five star night. But the disorganized, inconsistent hosting at the door made the first half hour of my birthday dinner stressful instead of special. Ask for Yuki if you go, just brace yourself at the door.
