China Gourmet Restaurant - Crispy Chicken, Pot Sticker, Fried Rice, and Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We found this spot with our noses. While leaving Albertsons, I kept catching the aroma of roasted garlic in the air. The smell was so good that I drove around the strip mall parking lot trying to track down the source. That search led us to China Gourmet, a very unassuming restaurant tucked away in the shopping center. Once inside, you're transported into a charming mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant. The décor is simple, comfortable, and fitting for the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere. After looking through the menu, we decided on the Chef's Special Dinner. For our entrées, we chose the Chow Fun Noodles with Beef, Sizzling Black Pepper Beef, and Chicken Fried Rice. Appetizers included Egg Rolls, Deep-Fried Shrimp, and BBQ Ribs. The meal also came with a bowl of War Wonton Soup. Everything was freshly prepared and made to order. The ingredients tasted fresh, the flavors were well balanced, and every dish was cooked properly. The standout item for us was the Chow Fun Noodles with Beef. The tender beef and perfectly cooked noodles made it the highlight of the meal. Everything paired nicely with a chilled glass of Hexamer Riesling. To top it all off, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, and all of our dishes arrived in a timely manner. We'll definitely be back for another visit. read more

It is super clean inside, and the service is friendly. We were the only 2 inside for at least an hour, and the only patrons were for to go orders. The prices for the entrees are pricey, and don't include steamed rice. My chicken broccoli was very bland, and my husband's chicken cashew was also on the unimpressive side. read more

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. :( read more

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. read more

China Gourmet Restaurant - A table of us at the dining area - Chinese Near Me - Paso Robles, California

The food was great. The portions were good. Could've been a little bigger for the price. It is family style dinner the host the waiter came by very frequently to make sure that we were served correctly and on time and if we needed anything else, the ambience of the place was nice and comfortable not too bright not too dark. I was surprised that the Chinese food was really good because I haven't been back here in 10 years because the first time I went I did not enjoy it. I am from Boston so my standards of Chinese food are very high and I have yet to find those standards in California, but this was this was good. This was decent. I did not leave disappointed. read more

The food is good, not great. Expensive They never get the to go order right. We order the same thing and every time they forget the steamed rice. When I place the order on line it asks if I want steamed rice or fried rice. The egg flower soup was very bland and the fried rice was dry and crunchy. I think it will be a long while before I order again. Dropping $100 on mediocre food is not something I want to do again. read more

This was the second time we've ordered for pickup.. the food is alright but I find its veggies and pineapple ( sweet and sour chicken) were all hard.... a little more sauté time was definitely needed. The service is quick and easy. The restaurant is charming and I am going to try dining in to see if it makes a difference. read more

I love you guys. We there are two days a week. It may be a carryout another day. One point I'm give you and I hope you're listening. You are over marinating the beef in a baking soda marinade, velveting, and your beef is turning to mush. Still I love you. read more

Good food. Probably the best Chinese is SLO County. I got my food to go so I can't comment about the ambiance, but they had my order hot and ready when they said they would. And there was nothing missing. So no issues. The lady at the counter was very pleasant. read more

China Gourmet Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Paso Robles, California

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! read more

China Gourmet Restaurant - What was, Orange Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Have eaten here a few times over the past couple of years. And never super impressed. Popped in today because I was starving and there was nothing else in the area. The plus is it's very fast. They have lunch specials that are somewhat affordable. But the quality of the food is not great. And it just doesn't resemble Chinese food to me. Granted I have eaten Chinese food in Singapore, New York, San Francisco, and Vancouver. Well, this seems to be owned and operated by Chinese people, they are either catering too much to the local population or they have lost their passion for food. read more

A total hidden gem, don't let the location fool you. Everything we tried was fantastic, and came out quickly (and super hot). I really loved the egg roll in particular! Really glad we ventured away from the square in Paso, it was totally worth it read more

Four of us went there for dinner, we ordered the wor wonton soup for 3 people since one of the people in our party is a vegetarian and it has meat in it. There were only 5 small wontons plus some meat, shrimp and vegetables. On the menu it is $18.95, yet they charged me $25.95. When I questioned the charge, they said because it's for 3. The large soup says for 3 - 4 people on almost every Chinese restaurant menu I've ever been to. I have never been extra on a large soup for a 3rd person. We ordered salt & pepper calamari and had to send it back as it was very undercooked. The "recooked" one was barely more cooked than the first. The service was very good, but the undercooked food and extra charge on the soup will keep me from going back again. Too bad, as it used to be one of my favorite Chinese restaurants on the Central Coast. read more

Really really hoping the food is extremely good because the prices on their online menu (mind you, from 8 years ago) aren't accurate at all and I was way over charged more than I expected, so REALLY hoping the food is amazing otherwise I'd never come back or suggest this place to anyone. It looks shady not having your prices accurate on yelp, your website or your menu. Hella disappointed especially because they were rude on the phone as well. First time trying this place, not impressed at all. read more

This food is simply amazing!!!! I had the combo fried rice and the Salt and Pepper Spicy Pork Chops. So good!!!!!

Honestly, good overall service and food. The interior of the restaurant is amazing (conflicting with the outside). I try different things on the menu each time and they haven't missed. However though, the prices are VERY expensive and I expect a dig in my wallet every time I go. Authentic chinese food though, best I can get near SLO read more

The food was delicious but expensive so we can't afford to go as often as we'd like. We have ordered the war wonton soup, fried rice, and sweet and sour chicken. read more

Ordered walnut prawns, sweet n sour chicken, orange chicken, beef Lo mein noodles and pot stickers to go. Everything was delicious this time and we all shared the entrees. Took off 1 star as they did not include rice and I did not think to check the big sealed bag when I picked it up. Food was very good so will be back and be sure we get rice! read more

The owner is nice. The establishment is clean. The pricing is a little heavy for children over 5. The food is ok.... Sometimes there are dishes that have been sitting out awhile (but it's a buffet.. soooo.). Not my first choice in Pas Robles but I've had worse. read more

It used to be good, but there was no flavor at all with the food. I had the luncheon special, only because the wait staff kept coming and asking me to order. Four times. I was planning to have lunch and get food to go also. Gave in ordered lunch special, and pork spring rolls. There was no flavor to any of food , just texture. it was disappointing, as I've been going there for many years. I also did not appreciate the wait staff hovering, felt as though I needed to rush to eat. Which I do not do . I did not order food to go . They lost that sale. Due to pestering me to order . Three different waiters asking me to order, when clearly, I was looking at the main menu, finally fourth time I ordered luncheon special. They lost $$$. Too bad. read more

Wow ! Great customer service. Food was served fast and they took care of us very good. Good prices definitely get for what you pay for. read more

Excellent Chinese food! The appetizer war wonton soup.. the chicken broth was rich and flavorful.. I think they cooked the broth for hours! The black pepper steak.. the beef was melt in your mouth tender!! We came from Anaheim Ca to spend 5 days in Pismo Beach and we stopped at Dover Canyon winery in Paso Robles to pick up my favorite bottles of wine, Cujo Zinfandel. We had a taste for Chinese food and this was the best reference and yes it was truly the best! read more

China Gourmet is surprisingly, very nice inside highlighted by an enormous wine fridge, who knew? Located in the Albertson's/CVS center on Niblick, it's a convenient location next to my local UPS store and Dry Cleaners. I went for lunch, and the place was packed. Great menu, full of delicacies. The prices are on the higher side, but they have lots of lunch specials well-priced at right around $15. Sweet! I went with one of their lunch specials, Hunan Pork. It came with a choice of soup, white or fried rice or chow mein, along with salad, an egg roll, a fried pork wonton. It was a very nice portion, and I ate it all up. With that said, it's not great as compared to LA or the Bay area, but it's really all we got in Paso. So, it's delish. Nice, efficient, but all business service. I'll be back. read more

My son and two grandsons had dinner there tonight and it was excellent! The food and service was outstanding and being a Cabernet connoisseur was so impressed with their wine selection. I choose their Ming's Well 2017 Cab and it was excellent. Jack, the owner, came over and discussed the wine's history which was very informative. Will definitely be going back! read more

I am baffled by the good reviews...tried it twice and both times could not finish it. Tasteless and nothing fresh in it. Absolute mall food. read more

We haven't tried any Chinese food in Paso yet and this was our first stop! We wanted a cozy night in so we ordered for pick up and I wish we would have sat for dinner! The place looked amazing, the fish tank right when you walk in was so fun! They have a whole wall of wine to choose from and lots of dining area. Our food was great but we will definitely be eating in person the next time we are craving Chinese food. read more
