Salt & Pepper Fish
Julia W.

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.

Great food with huge portion at a very reasonable price. Had enough to last me the whole day, lunch and dinner.

Helll to the nahhh. This ain't Gourmet lol Cash only, there's atm machine inside charges 1.89 No where r sit down Food quality ain't there chief Orange chicken? More like sugar chicken Chow mein tasted saltier then the ocean itself. The ladies have soo much sass, I don't recommend spending your money here.

Metal wire in my food. Was wrapped in the celery.

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.

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.

Tangerine chicken, Jalapeño chicken & Fried rice

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

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!

Coming from church as El Nino rains start we took a trip to Downey Landing off Lakewood blvd…read more We were going to go Hawaiian but this place caught my eye. Looks in the window a tipical Chinese lil buffet like P Ex. Butvery wrong. The food looks fresh and great as you walk up. And counter staff truly friendly and prompt. Food selections are somewhat typical except instead of chow main and rice they also have a vegetable base as well. Prices are standard you have the one two or three combo also have shrimp special combo 3 flavor noodle soup shrimp with lobster sauce and have family feast and prices are nice. They do catering as well. My wife got mushrooms chicken and orange chicken with chow main. Orange chicken is very good Mushrooms chicken is bomb I got pineapple chicken teriyaki chicken and BBQ pork. Love this teriyaki chicken is bomb love how it's grilled and then mixed with a teriyaki sauce with a ting of sweetness. Pineapple chicken is fresh with a sauce that give you thank mmm I want more. The bbq chicken is great with good flavor not over bearing like some. I like the options of a vegetable base is really good Customer service is on the ball. And this place is busy seating is good can be 2 to 4 or even 10 if you put the tables together. Can soda or fountain drinks and they sell a chili sauce hmm. I met that had been at this establishment for many years so this place good vibes Atmosphere is conversation among each other they have 1 TV with a show streaming. I also noticed they have a bowl option you will see on the above counter when ordering Customer service = 9 Food = 8 Cleanliness = 8 Food freshness = 8 Price to product = 8 I will return definitely

Kaowok - Downey, CA…read more I ordered the 2-item combo with steamed rice and chow mein, choosing orange chicken and BBQ pork as my main dishes. The portions were generous and packed with meat, which was definitely a plus. Unfortunately, the flavor was just average for me. I'd rather have a smaller portion with really great flavor than a large quantity that doesn't stand out. Overall, I wasn't impressed enough to come back. The food wasn't bad, but it just wasn't that great. I'd choose another spot next time.

George doesn't want to go out these days. He says "Oh to be eighty again."…read moreHe wanted Chinese food so I yelped it (using a noun as a verb like the kids do) an spied a 4.5-star place in Norwalk. I said "Ho Ho" trying to sound like Santa Clause, and my wife replied "That's where Tracy and I used to go," ignoring my brilliant entendre. I drove there and ordered what I was told to order. The lady running the counter was fast and efficient, juggling several walk-in customers as well as those who were seated with speed and aplomb. Not Disney-nice, but Asian-efficient. As I waited the ten minutes or so she'd told me it would take, I spied the cans of soft drinks in the cooler and stood up to grab some cash from my wallet. Before I could, the lady brought me a can of Mountain Dew, badged "American Dee" for our country's recent big birthday, and gave it to me *gratis*. That was really nice of her. The portions were more than enough with two main items and pork fried rice, family style. There was plenty of rice left over for George and I had the rest of the Kung Pau beef a few days later. Oh, it listed as being spicy but it really wasn't since I picked past the red peppers. I think it was the Kung Pau. It was good both times.

The year was 1989, and I was working at Nautilus Aerobics Plus at the Norwalk Square. A co worker…read morebrought in some Chinese Food from a Chinese restaurant. It was the first time I tasted Chow Mein. It was the best thing ever! I drove by last week and I saw Ho Ho China. I said to myself can this be the same restaurant from back in the 80's. It was!!!! They just changed locations. The food is so good and of course I had to order the vegetable chow mein. Yummy just like how I remember it. Orange chicken so delicious and the shrimp fried rice!! Amazing . Can't wait to go back and try some more delicious dishes. Thank you Ho Ho China for kind welcome and delicious food.

I craved sweet n sour shrimp so my wife and I decided the close location from home, Happy bee…read moreCantonese Chinese restaurant. We got there around 1:30, still packed due to Saturday. We sat right away, Thank God! The restaurant is not big but decent, homey vibes, casual, and clean. We odered 1 dumsum, 3 entrée, veggie fried rice, seafood chow mein, and our fave, sweet n sour shrimps. They served us complementary hot jasmin tea and roasted peanuts. So tasty... Jasmin tea made me relaxed. My wife liked the roasted peanuts. Then all the foods were served so quickly. The service was great, attentive, friendly, just perfect. Sweet n sour shrimp was great, perfect balance, fried rice was so flavorful w lots of eggs, seafood chow mein was not bad. I wish they add some more bean sprouts.... Last one was dimsum we ordered. They said it took 30 mins in the beginning. Seemed like they made and steamed dim sum fresh. First, soooo juicy, lovely presentation of each mini foil cup, cute dimsum. Tasty... so juicy! One of our fave parts was Jasmin tea. So relaxing, made us to digest easily the deep fried cuisines. Overall we had such great experience during our 1st visit. Parking is easy, plenty of parking spots in the big strip mall. Everything was great today. They have lunch special and chef special, including catering service. I can't wait to taste some more seafood cuisines. This place is now one of our fave places.

I searched for the good Chinese restaurant near Cerritos and found Happy Bee Kitchen today…read more Not too far from our home is the first advantage. My hubby and I got there around 1:30, looked busy. The restaurant was not big but decent, clean, located in the big strip mall on Pioneer Blvd. Found plenty of parking lots, many other restaurants, pharmacy, and grocery market 99 ranch. First, the service was great, very attentive, friendly, they packed all the leftovers for us. Second, complementary Jasmin tea and roasted peanuts were served right away. We both loved the tea and peanuts while we were waiting for the dishes. We ordered our faves, sweet n sour shrimps, veggie Fried rice, seafood chow mein, and juicy pork dimsum. The foods were served so fast. I really liked sweet n sour shrimps and fried rice, my hubby loved Jasmin tea, seafood chow mein. The portions are pretty big. We had lots of leftovers for weekends....haha. Last one, juicy pork dimsum, really juicy, the pork was so tender, each dimsum was steamed in a mini aluminum cup in the steamer. Great quality!!! Overall, we loved here. The service and qualities, and, prices all are great. We experienced the real Cantonese cuisines today. Definitely go again and try other foods next time. They had lunch special, chef special but we liked a la carte. One of great places to go and enjoy all the time. Try Jasmin tea w roasted peanuts.
