Egg Roll close-up
Gary G.

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.

Great spot. Food is hot and staff is attentive. Reliable, the same every time. I recommend.

Let me start by saying I really like this restaurant. I also don't think they deserve such a low…read morescore. I ordered broccoli w garlic sauce and homestyle tofu. Also white rice. The rice is perfect and fluffy and well cooked. I can tell they have a nice rice cooker and care about having decent white rice. The homestyle tofu was not my favorite as it had canned bamboo shoots with a strange flavor and texture and it also had baby corn and water chestnuts which I dislike and I was hoping for just tofu but that's not the restaurants fault per se. The broccoli with garlic sauce amazing and is the closest dupe I have found yet for the broccoli w white rice I used to order every single day from my local Chinese place in Brooklyn NYC. They closed down when I graduated high school, almost as if they had stayed in business just to take care of me and cook for me while my mom was working. I have been chasing that taste for years now, and I have yet to find anything closer than this. Thank you so much for making this dish Good Friends. It reminded me of home.

Their beef dumplings are juicy and amazing! Each dumpling is filled with a generous amount of beef…read moreand very flavorful. Also ordered a patty tray of their lo mien; great mix of veggies and was not greasy. Would happily order again and the couple who owns this spot really care about the quality they serve.
