We just moved to the area and were searching for a good Chinese spot! This restaurant has quickly become our go-to! The service is very fast and has been consistently good! The food is extremely good as well. I love the crab rangoon and lo mein! My partner has been getting the General Tso's plate and has enjoyed it every time! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

China Gourmet - Shrimp & Broccoli General Tao with an order of Crab Rangoon's. - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, Rhode Island

Ok, I admit, I live immediately outside of NYC and I think that if I leave the area, I will never find decent pizza or Chinese food! Total closed minded snob! My Mom moved to this area and she doesn't get out. She wanted Chinese and this was not far off my route. I may drive up from home next time I want Chinese! I picked dishes she liked and we were both very pleased! Very tasty! The lo mein had a generous portion of pork. The wonton soup was very flavorful with a lot of meaty wontons and some yummy greens. Still eating the BBQ pork ribs. I really liked the sauce! The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and pleasant. As I was leaving, another man/owner(?) left with me and was friendly, also thanking me. read more

Had some of the most delicious Chinese food from here last night and absolutely love that they deliver. I even called at 5:30 which I feel like is prime dinner time and they still got my food to me in under an hour. Some favorites that you absolutely need to order: chicken and broccoli, the PLAIN chicken wings (something about them is addicting), vegetable lo mein & shrimp fried rice, egg drop soup (it's so good). Probably some of the most very basic things you could get but this is definitely one of my most favorite places and the food is always so good. read more

Great food and quality. Fast and good service. A lot of options available for combo orders.

My husband and I got take out from here today. He got sesame chicken and I got pork lo mein and pork fried rice. And I've gotta say, it was some of the best Chinese food that we've ever had! Super fresh and delicious. The prices are very reasonable. The service was excellent. There aren't any tables though, so be prepared to bring it home lol. The ambiance is perfect for takeout. They also have the good quality chopsticks that don't give you splinters! (I know that's silly, but it's a detail that I always notice at Asian restaurants.) read more

Have been ordering from China Gourmet for several years. Food has always been very good. Not our most recent order. The wanton soup was excellent. The egg rolls were OK, a bit soggy at the bottom. The lo main noodles were a bit overcooked. The worst was the fried rice. It was overcooked and very soft. It had also been stirred to much,as the rice kernels were broken and stuck together like mush, not light and fluffy whole kernels. It appeared to be made in advance and heated up. The sauce on the sticky wings was at the bottom of the container no gooey sauce on the wings. , read more

We recently had some takeout delivered. It arrived a little earlier then was stated on the site. We had Chinese food from several places. We got a menu in. We ordered and food was fabulous. Everything was well prepared. Very good. I don't know what the restaurant looks like. We will go back read more

We have been going to China Gourmet for a couple of years now. It's convenient, fast, and reasonably priced for anyone living in Riverside. They recently moved to a new location in the plaza close to the Carousel. The new location no longer offers the option to dine in which is fine with me since I never ate in anyways. The food for the most part is pretty good, but there were a couple of times that my order wasn't made right. I don't like to complain so I let it slide the first time without saying anything. The second time that it happened, I called to let them know and they were very professional, understanding, and quick to correct the order for us. Their service is top notch for a takeout place. They are always very nice and courteous. There aren't too many Chinese restaurants in the Riverside area. It seems most people either go to this one or Lee's down the street. I personally prefer China Gourmet over Lee's and would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for some Chinese food. read more

Food was delivered hot and delicious!! The quality and taste exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend. Great place!!

Delicious! Highly recommend for a local. Good quality, efficient ordering, fast delivery. Thank you! read more

It looks like it has closed. Papered windows and a dumpster in front. Renovations?

Amazing food and service super fast. Place is nice and small and perfect for on the go read more

The food is always good here. Never disappointed also arrives within a decent amount of time if having it delivered.

I Refuse to eat here again until the disgusting fish tank is removed from the restaurant. Those fish are too big for the tank and the water is brown. I won't support a place that keeps animals in their restaurant in that condition. Food isn't that great anyway. Not a loss in my book. I understand if it's a culture and aesthetic thing but it could be handled much better. I hope you consider fixing this. If that's what customers see when they walk in, I can't imagine what the rest of the place must look like read more

We love China Gourmet!!!! Been ordering here for over a year since we moved to riverside. Always consistent and good. A little pricey but that's okay. There's a guy who works there, really tall guy, been working there for a while and is always very kind. Thank you. read more

China Gourmet - Sesame triple delight, white rice, boneless ribs, crab rangoons - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, Rhode Island

Better in the new location! Take out only. Great egg roll, chicken combo. Great value.

I order food from here often. It's always fresh ingredients and gets to me in a very timely manner. I just wish they had more gluten free options and gf sauces. read more

It is with a sad heart that I have to part ways with my family's favorite local Chinese restaurant. We have ordered here at times at least once per week and are familiar with all of the delivery drivers. Unfortunately I cannot accept the overly-inflated price increase. I understand businesses sometimes have to increase rates, but it should definitely be within reason. Maybe. $.50-$1 would be acceptable, but it looks as if most menu items have been raised at least $2+ more- even the appetizers!!! We spent good money here because we enjoyed the food and kind staff. The drivers are always prompt and friendly. It is also the same when dining in. Unfortunately, when we order Chinese takeout we are not looking to spend nearly $50+ (including tip) for a family of two adults and one child. I wish this were not the case. I can just go eat fresh seafood nearby so it'll be worth the $50+. read more

I was a regular for way too long several years ago because it was very convenient. I should have ventured out a bit so I could realize how incredibly terrible the food is at this restaurant. I was in a jam a few weeks ago b/c my regular Chinese restaurant was on vacation. The price was so ungodly high for what I got. The bag was huge, but 75% of it went into the garbage. The Crab Rangoons could not have been more greasy. I like sweet, but the filling was gross and WAY too sweet. Literally everything was disgusting. I don't care how desperate I am...next time I'll starve before going back to this place. At the risk of sounding like a plug, there is another very small Chinese restaurant on 44 that is OUTSTANDING. Not even in the same universe as this place. read more

Chinese food was really good! I like the generals chicken and the pork fried rice was good. The team knew we were coming from Bristol to Pick up and made sure it was nice and hott. I would get it again. I didn't like the beef teriyaki though. Going to try chicken next time. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Always delicious. Staff is friendly and online orders are ready quick.

Tonight was my first time having China Gourmet! I was impressed! I had pork fried rice, an egg roll, teriyaki chicken, bbq ribs, and crab ragoons! All of that for $12.95! Thank you for fulfilling my Chinese food craving tonight! I will be returning in the future! read more

China Gourmet - Build your own combo: pork fried rice, egg roll, crab ragoons, bbq ribs, and teriyaki chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, Rhode Island

This was hard to come to terms with. Accepting that this restaurant would have to be reviewed. Writing in a place like Yelp warrants the typical cartoon character of a place to eat. A hip new hot spot for socialites to jab and exchange gossip. But China Gourmet does not breed false hope. China Gourmet is a restaurant I frequent. I First heard of it through my Grandma, the casual friendly owner who visits the deli kind of situation. I don't think she'll ever live up her grandsons didn't like it when she first had them try. Nevertheless the food is delicious. I remember the dining room in a distant memory but for now the takeout foyer is all I can grasp. It's a quick experience, too fast to be frank. A cadmium Rug, A bountiful fish tank, and weeping orchids in the window. The letters look like metal- heavy set, strong and stable. China Gourmet surrounds nothing. A convenience center and an empty spa fit to return in 2016. I never get sick which is rare for me. it's so often if a restaurant is frequented enough it will bite you. Sometimes in the form of some mold in your jelly packet or piece of raw pork at the bottom of your salad. Accidents always need a place to go and the place these guys put them is unbelievable! read more

Remember back in the day when it was the good old Rickshaw Inn. Hasn't changed much inside. How's the food? Well, I've had good, and I've had bad. Chicken fingers are big, and yummy. Sometimes a bit overcooked, but generous. I have sent them back more than once. The waitress said they cook them in batches and drop them in the fryer to reheat. A lot of Chinese restaurants do this. Consequently, you get a lot of overcooked chicken! Boneless spare ribs generous and very good. My Brother loves them. The best he says. He likes the mixed vegetables, and lo mein. I have had both and they are the usual. Canned water chestnuts and mushrooms. Again, commonplace. Ok. They have Hong Kong style chow mein with fried noodles. I like that. I have had Kung pao chicken twice. It is very greasy and would not recommend it. General Tso beef was gummy and strangely soft. The waitress said they use special powder (I'm guessing baking soda) to tenderize it. Unpleasant, and very sweet. I sent it back. General Tso chicken was better but I got a couple pieces that were gray inside. Probably bloody when they cooked it. I cut every piece before I had it. Sichuan chicken was not spicy and very sweet. No Sichuan peppercorns. Very similar to General Tso. I had a specialty dish once. Beef, pork, shrimp, scallop, vegetables in a birds nest. You know the one. Well, it was one small shrimp, one scallop sliced thinly, a piece of the red roast pork, and a couple thin slices of chicken. A couple pieces of vegetables. The birds nest, which is usually fried noodles was a fried tortilla. Disappointed, and it wasn't cheap. Some good, some bad. I think I have been seven or eight times. It's not bad. There seems to be hit and miss in the kitchen. Sauces are very sweet, and I've sent back food half of my visits. Giving the place a break for a while. read more

We love ordering from China Gourmet! We frequently order the orange chicken, fried rice, wonton soup, dumplings, ho fun or the hong Kong style noodles, appetizers vary. Everything that we have tried has always been delicious!! Also, the staff is very friendly and ensures they have your order correct. I at times will ask to have items not included and they have no problem with it :). The food is good and always consistently good. Definitely check this place out! read more

My wife and I tried takeout from China Gourmet and we were very happy with the experience. First of all, to be clear, my four star rating is in comparison to other similar types of restaurants, but not necessarily indicative that this restaurant is as good as others I have given 4 Stars to. OK, I'll start with their website, since this is what first caught my eye. China Gourmet allows you to complete and pay for orders online, and the website functions well. The feature I really liked was the option to indicate exactly when we would like to pick up the food. Revolutionary. In the past I've called early to other places and have been told to 'call back' if I wanted the food delivered later. Brilliant use of technology right off the bat. Alright now to the food. I prize fresh ingredients highly and China Gourmet used them. The chicken in my Orange Chicken was good quality and cooked perfectly. My wife ordered Kung Pao and had a similar experience. Their combos are good, and the sizes of the portions are big - we got two meals out of our orders. We also ordered edamame and spring rolls and enjoyed them. All in all China Gourmet exceeded our expectations. I can't comment on the restaurant itself but the location was very convenient for us in Barrington. read more

First time customer Crab Rangoons where just cream cheese no taste to them. I had general tso chicken combo chicken was doughy. I picked it up as soon as it come out the kitchen. Not gonna go back. read more

Best Chinese food in EP hands down! Anyone that tries to tell you otherwise, doesn't know what they are talking about. I've been ordering from here for years and they are consistently good. So grateful it is so close to my house! I've turned on so many people to this place and I know a few people that will go out of there way too get food from here. LOVE China Gourmet! read more

We love china Gourmet, one of the best Chinese food around. 10+ for the food, 10+ for the friendly staff they have. You can't go wrong.

It's just so wonderful, cuz they really put their heart in whatever they make, and they make everything so special!! I wanted to go here because I saw the pictures on yelp, that contains some real Chinese food. But when I got there, the menu was kind of crappy, and we almost left. And then I found out the things on the menu had more potentials then they look like. And this place certainly surprised us. The soup is the best I've ever had around here, and the dishes are really special and fun, as well as delicious. It's my favorite Chinese restaurant now. They should really put some effort on their menu design. And you should definitely try out this place~! Ps, another thing you may need to know, is they have secrete menus. There're things typical American people don't know and wouldn't order, so they didn't put them on the menu. But if you saw anything you want on the pics, then you can ask and they'll make it for you. And again, I really think it's necessary to improve the menus here.. read more

Well we love the food here and the people who work here too, so it's sad to write this review. My family and I order from here enough, and it's always been reasonably priced even after the annoying $20 delivery minimum started. I guess Friday their prices will be going up and we won't be going here anymore. The food is great, but not worth the incoming price jump. The prices are sometimes $2 more and they give you less food. Such as the sticky chicken wings that went from $7.95 for 12, to $9.95 for 10. Teriyaki beef is $7.95 for 4 of them! Just seems insane to me. I like getting the orange chicken dinner and the teriyaki beef, but that's $19 just for me with it being $4 more than it was with previous pricing. They seemed typically priced before, but suddenly are going a whole new route with it. We are really disappointed, but all we can do is find a new place that's reasonably priced for Chinese takeout. They've taken away sushi from the menu which was something I personally really loved getting from them. White rice for a small pint doubled in price......it's white rice! Unless they are trying to get more people eating at home . The food isn't bad though, but it's likely you can find similar or the same quality for a better price nearby. These days an added $8 or more onto a meal for two is a big deal, at least for my family. We also really love Papa Pasquale's and Pizza Amore for different things, decent prices, and delivery minimum is great ($10)! I don't know what it's like eating inside the restaurant, but I know the people who work there can be very kind, and it's been there for a long time. read more

Found them on google. Menu looked good so gave it a try. I prefer "Fall River" style Chinese American food. You know crispy chow mein, boneless ribs.. well they definitely have that style of food and the price was reasonable. I we've eaten their twice since finding them, so worth repeating. read more

This is the only place in east providence I order Chinese from. I love dining in too, the service is very good. I tried mostly everything on the menu & I have no complaints. The "build your own combo" is the best! The sushi is wonderful too read more

Horrible! First off, sushi that is supposed to be spicy shouldn't be topped off with HOT SAUCE! Secondly, if you're going to use LETTUCE in one of your rolls...make sure it's fresh lettuce! Lastly, lo mein is not supposed to be wattery and floating in sauce!! Oh one more thing..your version of Miso soup..not even close. What a waste of 50 dollars! Save your money.Your better off going to Shanghai on Thayer street or other chinese restaurants around the area. read more

CALLING ALL VEGETARIANS! China Gourmet has a bunch of secret vegetarian items, but you have to ask. Why it's secret I have no idea, because it's probably the best veggie friendly American style Chinese in RI. So far I've had Sesame Tofu, General Tso's tofu, and Kung Pao tofu; the Sesame is my favorite. As others have pointed out, the portions are generous and the prices are excellent, and they offer brown rice. read more

Over the last few months, my husband and I have finally perfected our China Gourmet experience. I don't frequently crave this type of food but sometimes, you just need some Chinese-American food. First of all, we get takeout. We live so close and service in the restaurant isn't the greatest so it's just safer to get takeout. Also, we've stopped experimenting with the dishes we try. We each have the one dish we love and we just order that and are never disappointed. For myself, I get the Broccoli & Garlic Sauce and add tofu to it. For my husband, he gets the Pork with Vegetables and a Wonton Soup. Prices are decent and I do think the food is made freshly; at least the dishes we order. read more

I was not impressed with China Gourmet. We are new to the area, so I used Yelp to find a Chinese restaurant. I placed my order over the phone and was told it would be 15 minutes until my food would be ready. I left my house in a reasonable amount of time to meet the 15 minute time frame. I walked in with two gentlemen that had obviously never been there either because they asked me if this was the Chinese food place. When we entered we all waited for a minute or two at the front counter. The two guys started yelling "hello" and no one came out. I looked around the corner to the right and there were two guys having lunch. I asked them if anyone was working. They laughed and said, "yes, but we haven't seen her in a while." The two guy finally left after 3-4 minutes and were not happy. When the woman who was working the desk finally came out she asked me which order i had (pretty sure I was the only one). She had no idea what my order was and asked what my side dish was. I told her...AGAIN. She then told me that they had to heat up the brown rice from yesterday because they hadn't made any today....Wow! When I got home and actually ate the meal I will say that the egg drop soup was not bad. The garlic chicken, however, seemed to be warmed up just like the rice. I will say that this will be my last visit to China Gourmet. read more
