We have eaten in and ordered take out from this great spot in the South Coast for at least 28 years and have always have a good meal and dining experience. Mostly consistent in creating the tastes you remember. Would recommend highly. read more

Usually we enjoy Gumbos, good food, fair prices and as usual fine service. This week however we had take out, chicken tenders were good, crab Rangoon was equally good, but the vegetable egg foo young was absolutely horrible! Last time we order there! read more

We were in the mood for some Chinese food and wanted to dine in rather than get take out (to enjoy it fresher). We stopped into Gumbo on Saturday night and we're seated immediately. Our server was fast and friendly but not overbearing. All of our food came out in waves, and at a good pace so we could enjoy it all. Everything was hot and fresh tasting, and the portions were perfect (had plenty to take home for leftovers). The interior looks as you would expect an older local Chinese spot to look. Some traditional decor and feel. Only constructive feedback would be about the booth cushions being a bit beat up but not terrible and wouldn't ruin the experience. read more

A weekday lunch at a Route 6 eatery that could pass for any suburban strip mall Chinese restaurant within 30 miles of Boston. Small bar at the entrance, deceptively large dining room, and an old school menu similar to the previous joints I tried. The name on the signage out front differed from that on the menu, so I asked: the official name is Gum Bo, not Gumbo. General Gao's Chicken (on a combo): Shy of crisp, large of chunk, borderline moist, and mild on the sauce. Average. Pork Fried Rice (on the combo): Varying shades of darkness on the color, faintly moist, just a bit of old timey flavor, with an atypical light spiciness. A little above average. Egg Roll (on the combo): Celery and cabbage mix, with mini cubes of pink pork. Not moist but not bad. A little above average. Food ultimately was humdrum. Not bad by any means; just kinda typical and slightly better than average. Could've been what I ordered, could've been an off day, could've been my mood based on getting a lousy seat (on top of another table when there were plenty of other empty ones available), or could've been Chinese food fatigue from too many very recent (and better) Chinese meals. I've seen so much promise in the reviews and photos here and elsewhere, so I'm not giving up on Gum Bo; just a little short of expectation. read more

Meh.. prices are a bit higher than they should be. Food is a bit better than other local places. The interior needs a re do clean up. Many of the booths are worn down. read more

Good Chinese food fast cheap and good all 3 check out if you haven't been here you gotta try it you won't be disappointed

Whenever I call this place to order food the service absolutely sucks , I love the food but what I can't stand is dealing with these damn idiots. I just called and the person answering goes HELLO ? And the other person answering phones must be on tenor because she's a bitch to everyone and still works there . I don't know how people still order takeout from this place I don't think there has been one time I've called and haven't gotten off the phone pissed. Go to oriental pearl in Westport way better ! read more

We had reservations at another restaurant up the street from Gumbo that decided to close today for maintenance without posting or calling to cancel the reservation. So we decided to head here for dinner. We were seated right away and ordered. We were worried about a wait without a reservation and being a Friday night but were lucky there was an open table. As usual the food was delicious and the portions are big at a great price. Half came home for lunch tomorrow. This restaurant is a fun atmosphere because everyone is welcoming, nice and hardworking. You cannot go wrong when eating here. read more

Love the food here, it is the best. Wait staff amazing. But what the heck is going on w/the cocktails recently? No fruit or one tiny slice of lime in mai tai. Last time not even a lime slice. Buy some pineapple, cherries and make the drinks you used to make, up the price if you are cutting corners. OH THE HUMANITY!! read more

Best American Chinese food and prices and quick service . Must try when nearby atmosphere is pleasant and clean

This food is excellent and it digest perfectly. They use the best ingredients I would strongly recommend this restaurant.

I've been coming here since 2002 - their general tofu was a cult hit among my friend group and we'd drive the 30 minutes just to get that about once a week. Actually addictive. I live in Los Angeles now and still have never had a better tofu dish in my life (and i eat a lot of tofu!) always chasing that Gumbos Tofu high! Would always go at least once on any trip home since i left in 2004, but hadn't been since 2016. Was so worried they would close or change after Covid, but i went back early this summer and the tofu was just as good as ever. I always get one order to go as well because it's that addicting i can eat it for days in a row. I usually go with my friends but they couldn't make it this time so thankfully my dad took me. He's a Chinese food connoisseur and was confused why we had to drive so far just to get a Chinese dish. He got the General Chicken and has been going back like twice a month since i left. His favorite Chinese restaurant closed bc of Covid so he's happy he's found some place as good. My mom's a big fan now too. Service is always good and the prices are reasonable. I wish i could ship the dish out here- it's legit my favorite meal in the world still after all this time. I don't know how they get that texture they get in that tofu but there's nothing else like it. Gumbos rules! read more

Parking lot is tough. The service was good, but the food was a 5 out of 10. Vegetables were barely cooked, spare ribs had no flavor and dry. Will not be going back. read more

Gumbo Restaurant - Best waitress - Seafood Near Me - North Dartmouth, Massachusetts

Ordered takeout. Ready at the promised time. Order was correct. Food was very good, better than expected!

Since moving from Fall River where Chinese food was a plenty to Westport where there is only one option in town, we were on the hunt to find good Chinese food close by. We decided to eat in, and were seated right away. It's clear the place hasn't been updated since the originally opened. The booths are pretty warn and it's really dark inside. We both ordered drinks, my drink was listed in the menu as cheaper than what was on the receipt. Both drinks weren't worth it for next time. Our meals were pretty tasty and tasted fresher than other take out Chinese restaurants. We would probably pass on dining in next time, but a good takeout option. read more

I ordered a number 15 like I always do. They added an extra two dollar charge telling me that it's because I had a substitute. All I wanted was white rice instead of fried rice it's not a substitute they charge me extra money, and woulnt give it to me back they crooks And if you want chopsticks, they're not free you have to pay for them and the condiments I mean I know these are the Biden years but come on they are cheap crooks. read more

My order of fried shrimp was so overdone had to throw it out terrible they should owe me 18 dollars for it not good Gumbos

This was my very first (and, probably last) visit to Gumbo Restaurant. I met a group of friends there. The restaurant is very pretty and colorful with lovely ambiance. It is not too noisy but is lively. The bartender and receptionist were lovely and the waitstaff were all friendly and accommodating. HOWEVER: The Food, though plentiful, was the worst Asian food I have ever eaten. Everything smelled and tasted like it was cooked in very dirty and old cooking oil. It truly turned my stomach. The Crab Rangoon tasted awful - so greasy - as were the chicken fingers - the meat was tough and the fried dough encasing them was full of smelly grease. The boneless ribs were tough like shoe leather, as well. I am sorry to write such a negative review about such a lively restaurant, because it has everything going for it - EXCEPT - the FOOD. They need to get rid of all that old, smelly oil and probably discard all their deep fryers and start new. Even all our clothes stank of grease and oil and had to be washed as soon as we got home. read more

Decent place for a little hole in the wall a lot of people don't even know this place is here but is actually pretty good for American Chinese food So I started off with a "volcano" which to me is called a scorpion bowl but they call it a volcano which was excellent Then I got an order of the pepper steak, crab Rangoon, general tsos chicken, fried rice,white rice, pea pods , and an order of there hot wings. Everything was very hot and great portions of corse it's a Chinese restaurant They have there signature hot wings what we tried they weren't bad at all I would order them again next time I come to eat here or order out Great place for family and friends The service was excellent beyond great and I would recommend this place to try for anybody who likes Chinese food read more

This place is the closest location that's why I go. It is a busy place not sure why. Don't care for placing bad reviews But would rather go to China star but they only have take out. Buts China star is excellent. read more

A friend who grew up in the area recommended I come here because he said I needed to try the regional "New Bedford Style chow mein". I'm not going to lie, walking in was a bit of a shock. A lot of American-Chinese restaurant's have decor that hasn't changed since the 70's, which is okay by me. It adds to the charm. This place had that in spades. Upon walking in I was greeted by a friendly woman tending the tiki bar. Yes, tiki bar. We were seated and given a menu. The menu was not unexpected except for the tiki bar drinks such as Zombie's, Scorpion Bowls, and the like. I ordered a Scorpion Bowl (I mean, you can't NOT do that when they are super cheap and at a place that really shouldn't have them). I also ordered the chow mein (chicken) as recommended by my friend and a side of egg rolls. The egg rolls were fine. Not wonderful, but very large. Mostly cabbage, but I kind of like that. The hot mustard was hot, which I dug. The chow mein tho...eh. It was weird. Imagine celery, chicken AND ground beef (?), canned mushrooms and strange noodles in a brown gravy sauce. Honestly, it was the least asian tasting thing I've ever had. (Maybe that's how they do it down on the south coast, make things taste as non-ethnic as possible). No idea. But it wasn't bad...just...if you had served that to me anywhere else, I could not have told you it was an asian dish. The drink was okay. Mostly punch, very little booze. My friend got another noodle dish that was, like mine, kind of bland and remarkably whiter than we were in terms of flavor profile. It just had that New England "lack of spice/flavor" I experience a lot up here. I don't know I'd go back. It was an experience to be sure, and the place has been in business forever so clearly they are serving what the locals want. But I can't recommend it as "good" Chinese food. I think its more to the taste of the locals now more so than actually being an American-Chinese place (because I've eaten at tons of them in New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West Coast). read more

Not much choice in Chinese restaurants in these here parts. Gumbo is decent and consistent. Unfortunately, part of the consistency lies in their poorly made fried rice. Save yourself the trouble of being disappointed and order a noodle dish instead. Decent food, okay service, but worth an extra star not to have to drive to Chinatown in Boston for your fix of Chinese food. read more

Gumbo Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - North Dartmouth, Massachusetts

By far, the best Chinese food in the area. Everything on the menu is perfection. Portions are plentiful, service is exceptional, and the prices are more than fair. We love to order the pu pu platter and fried rice for a nice variety. Started a new diet and tried something new today. Tried the fish and vegetable dish and it was spectacular. Amazing flavors with fresh fish stir fried with a wonderful variety or crispy vegetables served with rice. Way too generous portions as always. A fantastic option for those on special diets. read more

My husband and I walked in and said "for two", they said there was no indoor seating until 4pm. Now there was two elderly men (obviously not employees) sitting down at a table eating and two ladies that were just leaving after eating in. We pointed out that there was people eating in and they said we could sit at the bar. If we can sit at the bar then why not a table! We left. She was very rude read more

Everything from here was delicious, including the house chicken, lo mein, and scallion pancakes. They are perfect for takeout, and the service is very friendly. read more

Volcano bowl for 2 was good, fruity and surpisingly strong. Pupu for 2 Substituted crab Ragoons because I'm not a fan of shrimp for an additional charge. Crab ragoon creamy inside but a bit greasy on the outside. Chicken terriayki not as flavorful as the succulent steak terriayki. Chicken wings nice and crispy with the perfect seasoning. Chicken finger good but greasy can't bring to eat them the next day. Egg rolls best in the city. Boneless spare ribs are my favorite, I love them leftover but rarely have any because it's so yummy. Pork fried rice lacked flavor. Brown gravy to dip chicken fingers was delicious. Definitely will go back again. Tip - eat in take out not as good. read more
