Good lord, I wish I had come here sooner. I didn't know what to expect based on what I had seen of it. I went in one day when I was passing by and hungry. I got a lunch special which was standard, although bravo at the prep time. The real star for me have been the soups. I am a big fan of wor wonton and they have that with noodles here. The lady who takes orders was extremely accommodating of which veggies I wanted to leave out. I tried the shrimp noodle soup and same story. I am one of those weirdos who eats hot soup on hot days and love it. The menu is deep and I'm sure to find more to enjoy. Adding this one to the rotation. read more

Gumbo Kitchen - Wor wonton noodle soup. - Chinese Near Me - Visalia, California

This place is an absolute dump and a complete scam. Walking in felt like stepping into a biohazard zone--sticky floors coated in god-knows-what, tables still filthy from the last poor suckers who ate here, and a general stench of grease and neglect that made me want to turn around immediately. The "service" was a joke. Staff acted like we were interrupting their nap, ignored us for ages, got the order wrong, and couldn't care less when we pointed it out. Zero professionalism, pure attitude. And the food? Pure garbage. Everything was buried under a thick, greasy slab of cheap breading that tasted like wet cardboard fried in old oil. Zero seasoning, zero flavor, zero actual ingredients worth mentioning--just the cheapest possible filler dumped in a deep fryer and passed off as Chinese food. Bland, greasy, and disgusting. I wouldn't feed this to a stray dog. Total waste of money and a genuine insult to anyone who expects edible food. Avoid this dump at all costs. read more

Love the food, absolutely a quick and easy dish if that's what you're looking for. Never had an issue and I never feel bad, love the sweet n sour chicken! read more

If you are looking for tasty Chinese food with big portions, this is your place. The lady behind the counter is so nice and makes the food with love. Everything was delicious. The chow mein is so well made and the chilli sauce on the side kicks it up a notch. Just stopping in town while visiting Sequoia or Kings Canyon? Starving after all that hiking? Stop here and you will be pleasantly amazed. read more

Delicious typical Chinese food. The orange chicken is the staple of it . Order ahead looks like it usually one person cooking.

Really wanted some classic Chinese American. This place definitely hit the spot and would come back. Orange chicken and honey walnut shrimp was way better than panda. read more

Very nice people run this place. The food is as average as you can get. Surprise surcharge for using debit card is really not a good business practice, contrary to what banks are telling these business'. read more

Stopped in here after shopping in the same shopping center. Food is made fresh as soon as you order it. Amazing Chinese food and very friendly staff. Will definitely return. read more

One extra star for the nice customer service and 2 for the food. This food has NO flavor. I should have known by the color of the chow mien The beef on the beef and broccoli was all fatty. I am so disappointed. The decent thing was the orange chicken and that's it. It's a small place with a few tables but no one was there around dinner time on a busy Saturday. Like I mentioned the lady was super sweet. It's been really hard to find decent Chinese food in the Central Valley. Won't be going back again. read more

Good and flavorful. Service was really nice. I tried the eggrolls and those were fine. I wouldn't eat inside as it was humid, they had a swamp cooler, and not as clean as it could be. It just felt sticky in there all around. But quality of food and portions is well done. read more

Great food for a good price. Friendly staff. Ordered the Orange chicken, and chowmein

WHY IS THIS PLACE UNDERRATED?! Someone pls upload the newest menu! holy cow! The serving portions are generous - obviously bigger than that panda spot. So glad I decided to support a local spot! All of the food was delicious, well flavored & well seasoned! Not too greasy/just right! In this economy these spots are very worth your while! The cashew chicken - wow let me tell you this felt like a clean meal with white rice, two portions worth at least! And from 11-3 it's at their killer deal pricing. There was less sauce on this compared to other places but I'm happy with it because the flavor was allll there. The variety of veggies I got mushrooms, Celery, carrots, water chestnuts & onions really delivered. My new go-to favorite! The combo plate - I love when each entree has its own distinct flavoring. Wow they do use jalapeños and red chiles so feel free to poke them out and then enjoy (the flavor coming from the chili's was incredible and well appreciated - I just won't eat the red ones! Made that mistake as a child) the sauce was incredible for both kung pao and Mongolian. Also- you can add chicken to your fried rice and or chicken chow mein, or pan fried noodles for a little more! So worth it for added protein :) BONUS ! They don't make anything until you order it so all your food is equally very warm and fresh! Will be returning! Also my mans said the lady was so nice as everyone mentioned and she packed everything into a box for easier carrying! Talk about customer service. Phone order went smoothly too. Thank you gumbo kitchen! People who seem to upset and rate this spot with less stars appear to want much much more than what they pay for or appear IMO read more

Overpriced, pork crap, pork combine crap. Nudeels over cooked. Won't be their long.

Amazing been eating here for years!!! I am a regular the prices are right, and the beef Szechuan is the best, the Almond chicken is also really good. Not a huge fan of the orange chicken, but other than that everything else is a really good bet. I love the people there too they're always so sweet. Closed on Mondays read more

I got the Mongolian beef and it was amazing. The service was also amazing, the lady behind the counter was super nice and welcoming. I wish this spot was more recognized! read more

This is one of my many hidden gems. I usually order every week or every other week. The food is always hot & tasty. I always get the chow mein with orange chicken and the schezwan beef.i at times get the rice but it depends on my mood. I usually order thru the phone and pick it up at the time they say and always ready to go. I love that they make it as you order. My brother is now a regular here[= guilty!!! but it's worth it. The family here is always nice & welcoming. They seem very thankful and looking forward to your next visit. The orange chicken has so much flavor and cooked to its best. The schezwan beef is a bit spicy but gives it a good kick and balances the food. It's one of my favorite combos, sweet and spicy. The portions are great to share.I usually share it with my 6 year old. They have lunch options if you want to give it a try & don't want to risk the full portion. Thank you guys for always making my food in a timely manner and always delicious. read more

The food and service was amazing! Found this place on google and decided to give it a try

Probably one of my favorite Chinese restaurants because of the food, portion size, and good customer service. I called and ordered ahead of time. Food was ready quick and the flavors were all there. The orange chicken and chow mein were on point. Kung Pao chicken had the right amount of spice. Eggrolls we're stuffed and heavy. It's a small restaurant and the name can be deceiving. I've passed by this little restaurant many times before ordering here and have always thought it was some Louisiana Cajun food kind of restaurant. Overall experience was great! This place definitely deserves more recognition. read more

I haven't been to Gumbo in so long and I live super close to them! With the pandemic, I have been rotating going to small business restaurants to support them and Gumbo came up and I glad I chose them! They were masks, had the plastic safeguard between the cashier and the BEST PART is they cook the food when it's ordered! Super fresh and super yummy!

BEST CHINESE FOOD IN THIS AREA. Seriously highly underrated. Might not look like the most kempt place but just order your food Togo and eat in the comfort of your own home. I called several places on a Sunday evening and these guys were the only ones who picked up. Took my ordering an understandable fashion and had everything ready to go piping hot within minutes! On top of that, the food was actually really GOOD. Your standard Chinese takeout, everything you expect while watching a movie on the couch. Will definitely return and recommend! read more

Affordable and yummy lunch options friendly owner makes you feel welcome. Thank you I be coming back !!!!Sweet and Sour Pork

My husband, Taylor, has been coming here for years and when we started dating he took me here for the Orange Chicken and noodles. The Chinese restaurant was small and quaint but boasts a damn good serving of food. The lady that I assume runs the place is always there and greets us with the happiest smile. I really appreciate that kind of welcoming. Makes you feel at home. Our whole family loves this place. Both our daughters love the orange chicken and noodles. Something so simple satisfies the pickiest palette of our 7 and 2 year old. PS. I love their fried rice with the orange chicken. Nom Nom Nom! read more

This place is great. I ordered an entire order for my company and the lady at the front was respectful and had one of the best attitudes I've ever dealt with. She got our order done quickly and the food tastes great. The food was good and you get quite a lot for your money. Very pleasant place that smelled good as soon as you walked in. read more

I love this lil hole in the wall place. Small and simple ... the lady is so sweet and respectful. Food is a good portion for really not that much. I can practically have lunch for dinner with the legit leftovers overs. I've never been disappointed the times I've come and as long as it's here, I'll always come here for a good lunch. Thank you read more
