Gourmet Wok is right next to Exit 55 on 95. It has a counter where you order for take out or eat in. They had a lunch special which comes w fried rice or white rice. The restaurant is very clean and the people are helpful. The food was hot and fresh -- tasty and predictable. The broccoli was not overcooked. The chicken had a bit too much sauce but I bet most people like it that way. read more

First time here...ordered combos, wasn't given rice nor egg rolls with my meals. Feel like guy who took my order didn't understand what I wanted to order even tho I was clear. Food was bland...will never go back... read more

Very good food. Fresh vegetables and excellent service. Will be returning again. I had it delivered. read more

Ordered takeout after a draining long day from work. Decided for beef and broccoli and pork fried rice that comes with a egg roll also added a vegetable spring roll. Best rice I have tasted in this area and worth every dollar. Friendly and quick service. Definitely my go to takeout Chinese food from now on. read more

Gourmet Wok - Beef and broccoli with pork Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Branford, Connecticut

This is a local, mostly take-out Chinese restaurant in Branford, CT. Other Yelp reviewers have noted that the owner is very affable; and I can attest to that, having seen several 'regulars' come I. For their orders. I'm new to the place. I liked their rendition of Singapore mei fun: large portion, plenty of shrimp, chicken, pork. Spice level was nice to my taste. Fried dumplings were good. Although slightly thick for my taste, filling was nicely made with a bit more aromatics (ginger?) than usual. Hunan Beef was a winner. Spicier than I had expected, no criticism no be clear, I enjoyed the tender beef pieces with the many varied veggies. Cold Sesame Noodles were OK. A favorite of mine, I wished for more...but life is not perfect. Basically, this is a solid establishment that will not disappoint. read more

Best place for Chinese food ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!! They are honestly the BEST!! Clean, great service but just outrageously fantastic :) read more

Just tried this place for the first time and was delighted. The won tons in the soup were firm and not overcooked and the pork fried rice was filled with pork and not pieces of half pork and half fat as so many other places try to get away with. read more

Finally reopened today May 21, 2020. I'm getting takeout... Kung Pao Chicken, and all the things that the kids like...egg rolls, wonton soup, beef broccoli, Li Mein, etc and etc.... read more

I love this place. Fav lo mein around. Everyone who works there is really nice and this place is so clean - you can see straight into the kitchen and it is spotless. It's fabulous takeout. Plus it's a very convenient location for me. read more

This is by far one of my favorite Chinese spots. I drive a little out of my way to go here because I really like their food. Their pork fried rice is some of my favorite rice. When at home I don't use salt too much and I appreciate the fact that their food is not salty. Shrimp chow mein is my favorite. An excellent dish that they provide. The owner is very nice. When I placed my order I was given a 25 minute pick up time and it was ready when they said. Reliable, great food, great service and definitely worth the trip. Also their egg rolls were very good, not greasy like some Chinese food restaurants. read more

We ordered here for the first time, and the last. We got boneless ribs that were so overcooked that if you tried to put a fork in them they broke apart. The Generl Tso's chicken and garlic chicken were lacking in flavor and kick. However, the wonton soup was pretty good. read more

It was my first time going and I'll definitely be back. It was exactly what I was looking for! I am not looking for the greatest dish ever. I like large portions of good food, and that's exactly what I got! read more

Never a disappointment. The pork fried rice is well done and delicious as well as the egg rolls. Portion and price are very reasonable. Clean, comfortable environment as well as friendly personnel. I recommend. read more

They are are the nicest people ever. I have been going there for years. Broccoli and shrimp or Chinese eggplant are my favorites. They have fast service. Their prices are fair. I definitely recommend. Great for a Saturday night take away read more

I ordered 2 qts of wonton and egg drop soup combined and was charged $22. Another local restaurant (closed that day) would have been $11. When I told him that I wouldn't be back unless he charged me a reasonable price he refused. So, I'll never go back. read more

First time here and likely my last. Ordered combination plate chicken fried rice with general tso chicken. By far the worst general tso I ever had! It's literally chicken smothered in duck sauce. Hate to leave a negative review when I only tried one thing off the menu but geez that chicken was horrible. It's a very clean restaurant though. read more

Great food! Owner is super nice. I've been here a few times and the food is always great. I especially like their he fen and orange chicken. Great prices too! read more

Restaurant is very clean. Owners are extremely friendly and welcoming. The food seems to have changed. Not as flavorful...less consistent. I won't stop going here but will not always be my first choice. read more

I decided to give this place a try since its about 5 minutes away from my house. Located next to my nail salon, it always has a few cars in front of it, from what I can see.. I walked in at exactly 2:59 knowing that lunch was over at about three or 3:30. Understanding many places are slow around this time, it was nice of me to walk in and at least see if they could serve me lunch and give them business. When walking in, I got a menu and walked out. No one greeted me or even smiled, so I immediately walked out. By this time it was 3:00:35 and I was 35 seconds late for lunch. I turned back and went inside to POLITELY ask the gentlemen if lunch was still being served, he cut me off and said no, but the "combination platters" are still being served. Okay, well I just wanted to save money. Some places still do lunch 5 minutes late, but not this one. Prices are also a little high. I went out to my car and pretended to look over the menu, when I called my place I always go to in the center of town. I will not be returning. This place is also closed on Sundays! read more

Owner is very friendly and the restaurant is very clean. The place even has a nice sized dining room to eat in and lastly it's air conditioned. The chicken & broccoli along with the vegetable lo mein is the best I've had locally, always well prepared and fresh. read more

The Chinese food is just average. It isn't bad, but it isn't great either. What I like most about this place is that it's somewhat clean for a Chinese restaurant or take-out place. I don't know what it is about Chinese take-out places and uncleanliness, but they tend go hand in hand around these parts. Thankfully this place is an exception. read more

This is my go-to place for Chinese food in Branford! The General Tso's, orange chicken, and chicken broccoli are my favorites, and the restaurant is always very clean. Plus, the owners are super friendly-- love supporting this local family business! read more

Branford's Gourmet Wok stands alone in distinctive Chinese food; always well prepared and a delight to one's taste buds. The restaurant when traveling on Ct I-95 has easy access at exit 55 north or southbound. I have dined there 30 to 40 times in traveling to and from New Haven and Madison. The owner John, his three sons and lovely wife are always a welcoming presence. So for taste tempting, reasonable Asian fare, either eat in or take out, be sure to visit this one of a kind really great restaurant. Be sure to say GG sent you.

By far the best chinese restaurant. While the food is outstanding, what really makes the Gourmet Wok shine is how friendly the family is that owns and runs it. I've been going there for almost 10 years and everytime I am there, they have been incredibly friendly. Even when by are very busy they take the time to strike up a conversation. The food.. especially sweet and sour chicken, is amazing. The Gormet Wok produces high quality food at a very affordable price. I highly recommend the Gourmet Wok. read more

This place is not gourmet in the least bit. The crab ran goon was obviously frozen from a box; they didn't even get it enough to make it some what enjoyable... The general tso's chicken was just plain soggy, boring tasting and not at all spicy. I don't think I will be buying from here again. If your looking for decently cheap Chinese food, this is the place to go. But if you're looking for good tasty Chinese food this is definitely not the place to spend your money at. read more

Excellent food, good service. I will be back.General Tso's chicken was very good and the egg roll was superb

I gave it one star because it is very clean. The food is downright indelible. The beef had a really funky taste and looked like it was a weird color. The chicken was bone dry and the fried rice had zero flavor. To bad, I wanted this place to be good for the sheer convenience of its location. read more

Best Chinese in Branford. Great chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce.

Always reliably good food. I love that they make dishes to my specific requests with no attitude. People that don't like their food are just ignorant. read more

i guess i had heard bad things about this place and avoided it. and one day i just felt the need to try it for myself and i was pleasantly surprised. the general tso bean curd was very good. service was a little slow and the meal cost a lot more than it should have, but it was delicious. read more

Love their food, but had to only give 3 stars because they do not deliver and are closed on Sundays! I do not understand why Chinese restaurants in Branford do not deliver? But that is a big disappointment. Almost every Chinese restaurant I know of, both in my hometown & others, is open 7 days a week AND delivers? Ok, rant over, very nice owners here, love the pork fried dumplings, chicken with broccoli, crab rangoons, general tso's chicken, lo mein, etc. AND they sell Snapple (always a plus with me), along with almost every beverage you can think of - which I LOVE beyond words! Average Chinese food prices & wait times. We still order from here often & enjoy it a lot....please bring your food to me and my belly when I am hungry...I'd definitely be inclined to order more frequently from you.... :) read more

I have been getting Chinese food here for years. Always happy with the food and service. Very friendly family business. The restaurant is always kept very clean. The prices are very fair for the high quality food read more

The 3 stars is for the cleanliness of the place compared to most of the Chinese stores, The location is good m so they don't care about the food , quantity is less , food is OK not great either .People were friendly. I would recommend but not value for money. read more

Best Chinese on the Shoreline!! The chicken is so fresh and we love the crab Rangoon!!

I really like this place. What really does it for me in a Chinese restaurant is cleanliness plus food quality. Lets face it, a lot of Chinese restaurants are just downright dirty. The food may be OK, but if the place is nasty you automatically make yourself not want to eat from there. Not the case at Gourmet Wok. Restaurant is very clean, food comes in the nice plastic containers with lids, and best of all it isn't all watery like at Foliage in East Haven. The fried rice is decent, but the standouts for me are roast pork chow mein and cashew chicken. The chow mein here is much better than I've had at other places. The only downside is the location, which is near impossible to turn left out of because of where it is in relation to the stop light. read more

The first Chinese food I would ever call slimy. I had sesame chicken. Also the rice was actually wet and soggy. I would give it 2 stars, but it was 3 or 4 dollars more than typical cheap take out and far worse. Don't go. Should have checked Yelp first. read more

WHAT A FREAKIN JOKE!!! I worked 10 hours today, all I want is an orange chicken combination with beef and broccoli lomein, well, they don't make orange chicken combinations, and they also don't make beef and broccoli lomein. I called twice, the guy who answered both times was VERY rude on the telephone. I would rather go out of my way than go there. read more
