I came here for dinner last night and honestly I was not mad about it. I think when you go to these types of places you have to set certain expectations of quality and service. I mean enough food for 4 people and it only cost $25. I ask you where else can you get that? Even a meal at Taco Bell is more than that. The food overall was what you would expect from a quick service Chinese food. Not bad, not fantastic just where you would think it would be. The inside was ehh nothing special but again $25 for all the food below. read more

I cannot believe I've never tried this place. I love Salt & Pepper fish - it's hard even to fine at full service Chinese restaurants. This place was packed. We also tried and loved the mushroom chicken, king pao chicken, bbq pork, and orange chicken. read more

My favorite place to go for Chinese food in paramount! The service is always great and fast! I recommend their orange chicken!

Don't come here... This used to be a go to...not any longer. Food is flavorless, feels and tastes old no matter the time you go. There are way too many options out there for them to be this bad now. I don't know if there was a change in ownership or cooks but whatever it is, it's ruined the business. Do yourself a favor, choose one of the many other options in the area. read more

Found a metal piece of wire in my food. Very dangerous, I could have choked. Even worst, could have fed my daughter with it. I don't recommend a un careful, unsanitary place like this. read more

Chinese Gourmet - Metal wire in my food. Was wrapped in the celery. - Chinese Near Me - Paramount, California

I've been going to this place since I was a kid. They've had the same owners for at least 20 years. Lady with the huge bangs and visor was there, berating a new lady working there, in Chinese - like always. This place has never been great but it's convenient. Typical of Chinese fast food places, they fill up the two compartments with chow mein to avoid having to give you ACTUALLY what you pay for with a 1 or 2 item combo. I usually get honey walnut shrimp from this other place in Downey off of Imperial and Clark - and their food is AMAZING. Very generous and always tasty, but I thought I'd give Chinese Gourmet a shot with THEIR walnut shrimp. I asked for it and asked how long it would take, bangs lady said "5 minutes" it took way longer than that. I also asked how much it was, she said $11.99. that's over $13 with tax but I thought "ok, I'll give them a shot". I asked how much I was getting and bangs lady pointed to the large side order container. I thought "ok, at least it's a lot". I take it home and it's got WAY too much mayo and the candied walnuts they used were too sugary. I figured it's my fault, but at least I know not to order it. To my surprise, I got down to the bottom third of the takeout container and it was filled with fried chow mein noodles. I know times are tough right now but this is pathetic. read more

food was very mushy the rice was really hard and the chicken tasted old I loved coming here but now they don't serve great food I found hair in my chow mein and a pice of plastic in my bbq pork read more

Food portion is huge! Honestly in my opinion it's better than most of the Panda Express places I've had. The lady is super nice too!

I just discovered this place, and I've been here 3 times today! In no way am I writing this review to talk bad about the place. I want them/wish they would reach out and explain to me the issue I had today. The food has been great! Portions are huge! The staff is very nice and give excellent service! Lots of sitting space with a great atmosphere, no issues with anything until today. I got the same thing as always and with that comes a small side of fried rice (as seen on vid) but today I bought the food so I can take it to work for lunch. Once lunch came I was excited to eat, so I unpacked and started eating, right away I noticed the texture of the rice was super sticky, almost like gum!! At first I thought it was because I didn't put it in fridge since I bought it at 2pm and lunch was at 8pm, but then I warmed it up and it got worse! This has never happened, just hoping for some feed back, I'll still return to the place, I'll just double check the food now. read more

The best Chinese in the downtown Paramount vicinity! It's delicious not too greasy and very affordable. The service is always great and the food is delicious. Our family loves the chow mein, string bean chicken, orange chicken, pork, and egg rolls! Their rices is always good and you can even order soup. We love this place! read more

This is one of those spots for me. I have been coming here for about 10 years now. I am not around this area much anymore but one thing is for sure Chinese Gourmet hasn't changed, consistently putting out the same quality, amount and in the same building. Now to the food..... Cheap and large amounts! The take out foam boxes are stuffed with your choice of entrees with fried rice/ noodles (typical Chinese take out style). Its not your quality place it is definitely your quantity place. The price is reflecting of this as well. For me I know I not going to taste high quality food and really its almost a local deal if I am in the area. The one hit for everyone and myself is the Jalapeño Chicken, I can say this is in my section every time. Note: CASH ONLY read more

I have loved this place since I was a kid and nothing ever beats this place! It's good and they give you a lot of food. I don't think it's pricey. I think it's fine for the amount of food you get. Their black pepper chicken is so good too! Quick service as well, I'll always be coming back! read more

Best Chinese food ever been coming here for years , great cooking I recommend this place

I like the food but I have noticed that some people receive larger servings than other people. Customer service needs to improve.

Best Chinese food in paramount!!!! Every single time I come here it's always the same!

Been coming here for years and it's always great. My kids are super picky and don't go to just any chinese food place. It had to be this one!!! The owner is pretty cool. He doesn't seem to speak too much English but that's alright. He knows how to serve his customers so that's all that counts. I love the bbq pork from this place. The chow mein is on point too. They know how to make it not many places do. My kids love the chicken sticks read more

This place use to be my go place back then but honestly the last few times I gave it some chances and jus been disappointing.the quality and and quantity is not it .I rather take the drive up the street to Downey and Artesia by the McDonald's.same price but better quality and you get a chicken egg roll and a soda with the combo .save your money and take the trip this place is NOT IT! read more

So it was my first time visiting here and I had the barbecue pork and fried rice which was okay I was hungry so I stopped in to give them a try I will go back maybe one day and try them again and something different the place was clean very nice customer service and it wasn't too pricey. read more

This place is dirty asf! So me personally I like the food there , my husband dislikes it because he seen one of the employees there years ago, that's still there i believe his the owner the one with glasses . Well my husband seen him cutting his toe nails in one of the dining tables. My husband hasn't been there ever since. Me in the other hand I go once in a long time because like I said the food is good in my opinion. Well last time I go there after ordering a chicken noodle soup and found a maggot, after almost being done with the soup! Ughhhh disgusting!!!!!!! I learn my lesson to never go there again!! read more

The best Chinese food you can get here in California ‍ very clean and spaced out place with fresh food 24/7 and good customer service If ur close by I recommend u come best rice best chow Mein and THE BEST EGGROLLS read more

Cheapest owners I've encountered, even for Asian restaurant standards. Went with a bunch of coworkers, it's your typical mom-and-pop Panda Express style place. The placed first of all smelled funky when we came in. Food itself was below average, you can just tell the ingredients are just terrible quality; I really wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't actual chicken they were serving. They WATERED DOWN their Sriracha hot sauce! And when I asked for hot sauce packets from behind the counter she gave me the dirtiest look ever...while handing me 2 of them. My coworker also got the stink eye for asking for NAPKINS. Of course the place is cash only and costs you 60 cents for a refill on a small drink. It's 3:15pm now and I've already hit the can once; I can feel another trip coming before 4pm hits. DON'T COME HERE...this is not how you treat customers who you want returning to your establishment. read more

Their shrimp fried rice is awesome. To me and my husband this is the best Chinese food place in in the area. The ladies are very nice every time I go. Some people get mad at them but that's only because they are inpatient. read more

I will not go here again. I went the other night and the service was horrible. First off, the lady just started putting rice and chow mien in the food container as soon as I said that I would like the 2 side combo. Then, she wouldn't answer my question about having orange chicken as a side as well, so I gave up. Any other question after that was answered shortly as she tried to move us along. I didn't want to just leave and not pay for the food (I'm not really put off by people very easily, which shows how short she was being with me), but I consciously decided that I would just not return. Anywho, that was my experience here I and don't want to support a place where they don't really understand how to do business. read more

This place is awful, the tables are dirty, trash is overflowing, definitely will NOT ever be coming back to place, service was not bad but not good neither, extremely stingy with their utensils and napkins, the food was bland tasted like nothing, food was hot and cold . Wish I can give this place a 0 stars read more

Rude workers! They advertise a lunch special on the window so I got the same thing that was pictured and they said oh no it's less food. Like wtf? Why didn't you tell me that when I ordered and It wasn't very much food to begin with so how much less food could the lunch special be? I paid $2 extra for soda. Then I asked for a refill and she said it was $1.00 I said Hell NO just give me water. This place is ripping people off and it wasn't even that good. I won't be going there ever again. read more

This place is AMAZING. They will fill your plate to the top unlike other places. Chow mien is great. Everything is hot and fresh. If you're looking to have some good Chinese, this is thee place to go read more

The chinese workers are very rude also they give u atittude specially if u ask for minor things i will never go back

I had been coming here since 1992. The taste and the quality of this chinese food, is quite possibly, the best damn chinese food I ever tatsted. Seriously. It tastes freakin awesome! The prices, have always been, in my opinion, pretty high, compared to other similar chinese food places. But that was fine with me, because 1. It tastes freakin Awesome!!! And 2. he always hooked it up fat. Huge portions! Well one day, I go in there (the owner is serving me) and the dude is suddenly being real skimpy with the portions. Not hookin it up super fat like he always does. Like, hes giving me WAY LESS meat than usual. WAY LESS!!! So I tell him in a nice polite friendly manner "hey dude whats up with that? Hook it up like you usually do..." You know what he did? He looked me square in the eye, and in foul tone replied "DONT COMPLAIN!".... Ok. I wont complain. You know what else I wont be doing? Coming here again. Ever. read more

Not the best Chinese food spot around. Food isn't the best tasting, bland, fried rice has more chunks of white rice than anything. There is also no sign anywhere that says "cash only" so Had to use the "conveniently" located ATM machine right by the register. Seriously what food joint these days don't accept card payments? Is it because they charge the business a percentage to use one? Get it together! read more

Chinese Gourmet has fed me well everytime I eat there. When you walk in and ask for combos, there are a good number of options: a choice of steamed/fried rice, chow mein, or half of each, then a number of satisfying entrees to choose from! You can get your base rice/noodles with one, two, or three sides depending on what combo you pick. You can also buy entrees on their own if there's something you particularly love! My favorites have always been the red barbecue pork and beef broccoli. But I think the tangerine chicken really stands out here: sweet, tangy, and really tender, not too sour or tough. You aren't limited to the entree table though, this place also offers delicious soup (ex. wonton soup) that's hot and comforting. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. You'll leave feeling stuffed! read more

The food is fresh, tasty, and has a range of sweet and spicy dishes. The newest addition of chicken sticks are simply delicious. The teryaki chicken - tender, the bbq pork - not fatty. The spicy chicken jalapeno is our favorite. The all dependable orange chicken and broccoli beef have good flavor. Don't miss. Only good Chinese - on the go, in or around town. GO ! and yues, the portions are crazy, and prices are most fair and competitive. Please post too, read more

Best Chinese food I have had in a while. So I went to this place after work and there was a long long line. I didn't want to go anywhere else so I decided to wait I figured that if other people were willing to wait it must be good....i was glad I waited :) The noodles were fresh made and constantly running out. I tried the orange chicken and it was really good nothing was greasy but it was filling. They aren't stingy about the food my husband got 3 sides and instead of stuffing them all in one container they gave him an extra container with the food read more

Wow im suprised there arent more reviews.. this place is one of the best fast food chinese spots in the area! Forreal! The bad reviews had to have been just one of those days cause I been comming here 5+ years really cant remember how long cause its been that long i been comming here and never was i disappointed. I love to eat and try different spots all the time so i know when something is worth comming back to. I dont have anything bad to say about this spot... Everything is bomb! and always fresh and to top it off the portions are huge all for a cheap price. Its called chinese gourmet for a reason they use good pieces of meat in their food unlike these other chinese places... you can taste the quality and and the meat is always nice and tender. Its worth trying and ill bet you will come back guaranteed...you'll see when you show up how busy it is....theres always ppl there. read more
