We tried a local gem--Gourmet Kitchen, hands down, the best Chinese food in town. With Chinese cuisine, it's all about the sauce, and they absolutely got it right. We ordered cashew shrimp, Mongolian beef, chow mein, and potstickers, and every single dish was delicious. My husband couldn't stop raving about the sauce on the Kung Pao shrimp. It's a small, unassuming spot near Marshall's, but don't let that fool you--go in and order the food. It's so good. The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely want you to enjoy their food. We had a really nice conversation with the owner, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be back. I wish I had taken photos of our dishes. Next time, for sure! read more

Visited August 17th..see receipt. I came in to order their shrimp with nuts and noticed the price is now 22 dollars. Unfortunately it doesn't come with anything- not even rice! I decided to pass on it and just got some steamed rice. They are never crowded in there which is unfortunate because their fried rice alone is delectable! The man that waited on me turned two people away because the dish they were going to order he said had very little beef in it. His attitude was a bit of a turn off. Maybe he was just having a bad day! I doubt i will be back when i am in the area. Hopefully if they bring their prices down they will have more customers to stay competitive! read more

The food is wonderful. This is my favorite place to eat. Asian is my go to food. The staff are very nice and the restaurant is clean.

I love this place! Good food, nice people. I am in love with their sweet and sour shrimp. Everything is good! Best Chinese in town. Place is very clean too. read more

Had very bad experience picking up food on Friday. I wasn't able to eat the food as the styrofoam container seemed to melt away. I didn't open the bag until I got home and all the food was in the bag! I brought it back and was told that I was the one that broke the styrofoam. The food quality has gone down drastically over the years. read more

Decided to give them a try for lunch. Was not disappointed. Food was excellent, service was excellent. Good amount of food for the price. We'll be back. read more

The food has always been the best. When I moved to Oroville this was the place we ordered from first and was not disappointed. Not only is the food fantastic but the service has always been wonderful and keeps me and my family coming back. Always a high recommendation from us. read more

Salt and Pepper Pork 9/10 Beef Broccoli 8/10 Beef Chow mein 8/10 We grew up with Tong Fong Low but tried this. Loved it, and the hot tea was lovely. The service was great!! Ambiance needs work, but it was 7:15 on Saturday evening. They close at 8 and it was us and one other person. We'll definitely be back. read more

Really good! I love their fried rice, especially since they are willing to make it gluten free, and it still tastes great.

I love their food because it is not greasy, but it's a little too salty. The cook needs to pull back on the salt. My orders are usually over $120 . Too salty . I want to order food for 4 people soon . During the busy shopping , holiday season I like to order Chinese food . read more

The best Chinese food place in town! I always come here whenever I'm in Oroville. They recently started selling milk tea and boba- it's easy to tell that they freshly make the tea and boba themselves instead of using those frozen/pre-made boba. It makes a huge difference! read more

Amazing and authentic. I won't go anywhere else for Chinese in Oroville. The other main place puts way too much starch in their dishes. This place provides only authentic taste and flavors. read more

Very clean- love the owners and food! We're vegetarians and it's easy to find delicious items here to order. Parking is very convenient. We frequent here whenever we are in nor cal. Food is always extremely fresh and we appreciate the consistent level of quality. read more

By far the best Chinese restaurant in Oroville. The food is delicious. Always very friendly and the restaurant is clean.

Our food was delicious, the portions were generous and the owner (cook) was super nice! Greeted us at our table and spoke about his experience and time as a cook! Give them a try! read more

Poor customer service, wife is nice but the husband is rude, I ain't coming back here no more. Not recommending this place.

General chicken was Good! Sesame chicken was cooked good but flavor was weird. & the teriyaki chicken was "breaded" ...and disgusting!! And they NEVER came to the table and asked if we needed anything ‍ read more

My 2nd visit. Their food is veggie forward. Not oily, but flavor forward. I'd never seen War Wonton soup you could actually see thru the entire container. What, you were actually getting! :0 I've made a billion chickens for my rotties. Pressure cooked the bones, making stock for nutrients for them. This man's broth, reminded me of my home made. I ordered Cashew Chicken, pan fried noodles, and Wor Wonton soup. That soup I swear would cure any ailment. Such al lovely amount of zuchini, dumplings, mushrooms, and broth! I do have to agree about the app of shrimp. Butterflied, cornmeal dredge. Honestly, shoe leather. I was stunned, as the rest is So good. Give them a try. Other than the fried shrimp, wonderful. Not oily or greasy. A delicate tummy can eat this and have flavor too! read more

I picked up my order to go, which included pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, kung pao chicken, and fried prawns. Everything was very good! The service is great and the restaurant is quiet and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place to others. read more

The waitress was incredibly rude and condescending from the moment we entered. Having a 7-month-old baby, we need some things such a warm water to make a bottle. When I asked for the warm water, after trying to get her attention and being ignored for the first 10 minutes, she mumbled "Crap" under her breath. Then it took another 5 or 6 minutes to receive scalding hot water and a small container of ice cubes. I actually had to start breastfeeding my baby in the restaurant because she was impatient. She only had 3 tables when we came in, and she was "too busy" to help us. I don't mind waiting to be served, but I do mind waiting to be served and getting an attitude because she didn't want to get me the warm water I needed. We ended up having to get our food to go because our baby was throwing a fit, but we heard other people getting just as frustrated if not more with the service. The food is great. Unfortunately the service isn't so much. The problem is, when we got home, we were missing food. We didn't want to drive back into town for 2 egg rolls though. So we got charged for food we never received. read more

Excellent Honey Walnut Shrimp. Lunch special $15. Delicious. Not skimpy on sauce. Lots of walnuts. Fried rice is the best I have had!

One word.....AMAZING!!! I am a travel nurse, so I move around a good bit. This Chinese cuisine is the BEST I have had in over 15 years!!! So pleasantly surprised. Fresh! Huge portions! Not over-priced, & oh so YUMMY!! It's definitely going to be in my weekly rotation. I had the Kung Pao Shrimp & Mongolian Beef (so far)!! read more

We have been going to Tong Fong Low for the past 60 years but decided to give this place a try. We were very surprised with how good everything tasted! I'm not a big egg roll fan but these were light and crispy and the filling was excellent. We loved the cashew chicken and the sweet and sour pork was the best I have ever had. Our waitress was excellent and the chef came out to see how we like our meals. We told him we will be back soon! The place was very clean. This is a hidden gem. I can't wait to try more of their dishes! read more

This place is amazing! First, I had a great conversation with another customer while we waited for our orders. I'm from out of town and did not expect much from Chinese take out, but I was so pleasantly surprised. I ordered fried rice, broccoli beef, chow mien and egg foo young. The best I've ever had and heated up nicely the next day. Very happy with the experience. read more

Way overpriced meal. We ordered the family dinner for two which came with chicken salad, Mongolian beef, fried rice and general chicken. Salad was lettuce, a couple of slivers of carrot and a handful of fried chicken. Mongolian beef was more of Mongolian vegetables, it only had about 4 pieces of beef. Definitely won't go back. read more

Decided to go back after a long hiatus. Very glad I did. Ordered the Sweet and sour pork, broccoli beef, pork fried rice and egg roll special. Huge portion. Everything I had was the best I've ever had in Nor Cal except for the egg roll, which was a tad soggy. Everything else was incredible. I normally don't care for sweet and sour pork or pork fried rice but this made me a believer again. I cannot wait to go pick up another to-go order and try their other menu items. Exciting stuff. Took the photo after eating the egg roll. read more

Gourmet Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Oroville, California

The food is excellent. I've never had cheese wontons, they were delicious. I would've been happy just to eat the chowmein, it's soo good and fresh. You will not be disappointed. I am deducting 1/2 star because they still have not replaced the sign with the new business name (they opened five months ago), and another 1/2 star because the server never came back to refill our drinks, we were the only ones in the restaurant and he didn't come back until we were clearly finished eating. Also FYI they just received their liquor license, but have not stocked any liquor yet. read more

Can I give it a zero point zero? The food was so salty it was completely inedible! The waitress did not offer to take it back when I said it was way to salty to eat. Instead she suggested "the next time you come in, ask for less salt". UH, there is NOT going to be a next time! My partner's food was equally over salty. HORRIBLE! Also the lunch specials do not have any appetizer or soup. Just the main course and rice. Unless you like food overpowered by salt, stay FAR FAR AWAY! read more

Very nice over the phone and friendlier when i picked up the food in person! Excellent food, very affordable and good service!

I am writing this solely on their Hot and Sour Soup. The best use to be Tong Fong, but recipe seems to have changed. The Gourmet Kitchen has the absolute most flavorful H&S in town. Very friendly people too! read more

Don't let the outside of this place deter you. I've ordered take out from here twice, and have been pleasantly surprised each time! Having recently moved to oroville from chico I was hoping to find a place that held a flame to my beloved Happy Garden and it did not disappoint. Portions were absolutely huge, which made the price worth it. A bit more than I'm used to for Chinese but the quality and portions are there. We paid $50 for house chow mein, broccoli beef, sweet and sour chicken, a large soup and egg rolls. We like to have lots of extra Chinese and we get about 3 full meals out of this. Also, another reviewer mentioned they would not let them take soup to go but I ordered it to go and even saw another lady carry out some too, so not sure if that was just a weird mix up. Just thought I'd mention it. I personally think it's much tastier and less greasy than Tong Fong Lo. Owner thanked me by name when I picked up my food and offered to carry it out to my car. This is definitely our go to Chinese in oroville! read more

I was very disappointed especially after seeing some positive reviews. The fried prawns were not the batter fried i expected, they were fantail shrimp and breaded, like you'd get in the freezer section of the grocery store and the egg rolls were very small, and also seemed like they were out of a premade frozen section, not hand made at all read more

Put the right time on your damn hours. And also tell people you only have to go. You wasted a trip of mine

My brother and his wife took me here because they claimed it to be one of the best Chinese restaurant in oroville. I was skeptical about it. Upon walking in, we were greeted with a welcoming smile from the server. We were seated right away. The food came out at a reasonable time and it was delicious! The owner would check on us multiple time to see if we needed anything. The server lady also checked on us and refilled our drinks. Everything we had was fresh and delicious. I'm giving them a 5 stars for great customer service and food! Now i see why my brother and sister in law said this place is the best in town. I am definitely coming back when I'm in town again! read more

I ws so excited to get Chinese food. Unfortunately, this place was a big disappointment. When you order takeout, they should never put the sauce on it if it is deep fried. It should be given in a separate container. The shrimp with walnuts and sauce would have been good fresh, but having the sauce added made the shrimp mushy. The other issue was the chowmein. Very little beef or any thing else. Tasted aweful too. Threw it all out. What a waste. Not what I was craving. Sorry, not going back!!! read more

This family restaurant is clean, seats about 30 people. They are very friendly and hard working. The food was fresh, hot and prepared with tender loving care. It is very apparent they take pride in what they present to you. We ordered the B dinner for two. You could easily feed four people. The egg soup was hot and very good. The beef dish was very good. The beef was prepared just right. Chicken dish was excellent along with the BBQ fried rice. The rice was a treat. Service was excellent. What can I say. Excellent value for price. Definitely would return. read more

Only place in town to get salt n pepper prawns and they are AMAZING! Pick up and Togo orders are prompt and have always been excellent. Dine in can be a little slow but I prefer to think of it as a relaxing atmosphere so keep that in mind if you are in a hurry to power down lunch. read more

Okay. I didn't have super high expectations for Chinese food in Oroville, but that's what we felt like and the ratings were pretty good. I probably would have given it 3.5 stars for the food (standard Chinese fare and decent service) until we had a weird interaction at the end of the meal. There were two of us and we ordered the lunch specials to eat there. I noticed that the menu said "no soup on to go lunch specials". Okay, I get that. Pretty standard. But at the end of the meal, we wanted to take our leftovers to go. The server would not let us take the soup! He said "No soup to go!". I tried to explain that we just wanted to take the remainder of what we ordered for there. He gave us boxes for the rest of the meal but wouldn't budge on the soup. I asked if we had ordered the lunch special and he said "no". Clearly we had. We were served soup and an appetizer and that's how we were charged. So strange that I gave up. Maybe it was a language barrier. Maybe they just don't have to go soup boxes. But I thought it was pretty bad that we were not allowed to take leftovers of what we paid for. It's this kind of stupid rule that gives a place a bad reputation. Everyone told me Tong Fong is better, even though the reviews are lower. They were closed on Monday, but I think I'll try them next time. read more

The worst Chinese food ever experienced, ordered to go, order was incomplete, soggy and some not fit to eat. Most was likely yesterdays left-overs. We called and went back with the items that were terrible, soggy and wrong. They refused to refund any portion of the bill, replace the food with freshly made, they would do nothing. The $109.00 bill is the last dime they will get out of me. Beware of this place, I would have felt better if they hit me over the head and took the money out of my wallet!!!!!! read more

They need to change the lucky jin sign so ppl will know its a new restaurant. Went in for lunch today to try the place out, been eyeballing this place on yelp n im glad i did. Food and service was great but their walnut shrimp was kinda salty for us. Everything else was good. Prices are reasonable as well. Better than tfl in my opinion. read more
