Parking lot smelled of good food, so decided go try this spot, and glad we did!…read more Friendly service. Fast. Free parking. Small seating area which fits, perfect to grab takeout and go. Pad Thai is SPICY! Their menu denotes spicy food with an asterisk instead of the easier to spot chilli peppers, but surprisingly it is really good! I've been back twice for the Pad Thai already. Not necessarily the taste at a Thai restaurant, but I like it. Also love that they add large pieces of fried tofu. 5/5 Fried rice was mediocre. Onion rings was not very good, soggy, and breading instead of batter which is more typical for onion rings, my 7yo did not really like it. 3/5 Chicken and broccoli on rice was also good. 4.5/5

Tip: This restaurant is on Skip the Dishes…read more Yesterday, I was in Pickering. I wanted to grab some takeout for dinner before heading home. Skip the Dishes had a discount code. If I spent $30 on an order, I'd get 50% off. Sweet! I found Dragon Gem. I looked at the menu. Whenever I see ho fun on the menu, I have to get it. My order consisted of these items: - Beef ho fun - Large wonton soup I got an estimated time of ten minutes for my order to be ready. I thought that it was a mistake. It made sense when I got to the restaurant. I needed ten minutes to drive over here. It's in a plaza that I have frequented before. It has a Rexall that I shopped at in the past. I had no problem finding a parking spot near this restaurant. I backed into an available spot and walked in. I have never seen so many folks in a kitchen! I'd guess that there were eight folks making food and packing up orders. Wow! I got the nicest woman. I rattled off the last four numbers of my Skip the Dishes order. She found it and my name on the order. Yay! She handed me my food in a paper bag with a plastic bag around it. I thanked her and left. Everything was packed well. No leakage. My food and soup were still hot when I got home with it. I looked forward to chowing down. I started with the wonton soup. The broth was perfect. It was clear and had a touch of salt that I liked. There were many wontons that had flavourful pork filling. Each wonton was softer than expected, but it was nice not to exert much effort chewing it. It had sliced barbeque pork in it. So good! I got crunchy sticks. I've never been a fan of them, so I didn't put them in my soup. I loved the beef ho fun. It was perfect. It had lots of tender beef slices. The rice noodles (ho fun) were so good. They were stir-fried and tasted amazing. My dish had sliced onions and bean sprouts in every bite. The portion size was generous. Excellent food! I'd return for more when I'm in the area. (54)

I thought for a minute that they would specialize in SS chicken balls and chow mien, but they have all the Cantonese and Szechuan favourites that I'm used to seeing on a typical menu. Everything looked tempting! I left with a nice hearty meal for only $10 so convincing me that this is the go-to place in the hood for a reasonable priced substantial meal that you would use to feed your crew at a house party. And it was ready in about 5-10 minutes tops. Great selection and very good quality, and the portion was enough that I couldn't finish it off, despite it being absolutely delicious. Recommended!

Ordered a Veggie Fried Rice without eggs, Veggie Noodles (changed to Shanghai Noodles as it normally comes with egg noodles) and Spicy Stir Fried Mixed Veggies. Asked to add no fish sauce and less oil. It took about 15-20 minutes for the order which was fine. The food was less greasy as requested. The Noodles were disappointing as even though not dry, they just didn't have any flavour or properly seasonings. The Fried Rice was perfect in every way. The stir fry was, expecting a spicy kick, but not at all spicy. The quantity for all the three dishes was way less than our normal spot.

I have not had any CCM since about 30 years ago, up until this place that did not taste acrid and strong. As I am told, bitter because the sprouts are to old.

GOURMET EXPRESS CHINESE FOOD 1735 KIPLING AVE... These people are ripping you off…read more OMG. I cannot believe that these people are selling THE SAME FOOD that they were back in 2020 for 8.75 at now 12.40 PLUS TAXES. Why are you customers allowing to let these people get away with PRICE GOUGING. Some of these businesses continue to use "covid" as to why they were "forced" to increase prices. LIES AND ALL LIES. FIRST OF ALL, lets break this down shall we? If you pay attention, the majority of foods that this restaurant uses, always goes on sale. Brocolli, oinions, rice, chicken, shrimp, chicken balls, bean sprouts ( dirt cheap), bok choy etc etc. Example: combo one, for one person they now charge 12.40 ( strategically) PLUS TAX just under 15.00 for 1 spring roll, small pieces of chicken, small bits of brocolli and cooked white rice fried in oil? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! Reality spring roll 0.50, small bits of chicken 1.00, veggies 1.00, dirt cheap bean sprouts 0.50. So realistically you should be paying 3.00, but you are paying just under FIFTEEN DOLLARS No wonder these people continue to send their children to university off your hard earned money, they have no conscious or empathy. And as long as you allow them to, they will continue to ripp you off!!! I stopped patronizing this business years now, I felt insulted when I saw these prices... UNBELIEVABLE!!!! And the good quality is MEH! IF YOU MUST HAVE CHINESE FOOD, GO DOWN TO JANE AND LAWRENCE... THERE IS AN AMAZING CHINESE SHOP THERE STILL CHARGING READONABLE PRIVES FOR ALL THE FOOD. ONE PERSON COMBOS ARE UNDER 9 DOLLARS. FOOD IS AMAZING
