    String bean? I think not.
    Evan R.

    I don't even know if I have had a perfect order yet...I asked for chopsticks and they were left off the order. I'm still hoping one day for that golden order. Still love the taste of the food.

    Ordered a la carte large chow mein and got this s**t that looks like leftover dog food! How dare you serve this crap to your customer?! No wonder why the rating of this location is so low! Will never order from here again

    We were in the mood for Chinese food, and since we received a BOGO offer in the mail we decided to head to Panda Express. As food is now only available for take-away, we did not use their dining room facility, but the interior looks very clean and inviting. Approaching the restaurant, we saw there was a line of people as they were adhering to social distancing of 6 feet between each party. The line moved relatively quickly as we made our way to the ordering station, which had a container of hand sanitizer available prior to ordering. All employees were wearing face coverings, and were very friendly. We selected their bowls of Honey Walnut Shrimp with white rice, and Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was good tasting with a honey sauce coating and good-size firm tempura-battered shrimp. There were only a few glazed walnuts, which was disappointing. Our selection of Kung Pao Chicken is a Szechwan-inspired dish with chicken, peanuts and vegetables, finished with chili peppers. It was a very spicy dish with a good amount of zucchini and tomatoes, as well as a generous supply of chicken. The fried rice was fresh, plump & filled with peas, carrots, green onions & egg. We finished off with fortune cookies as our guilt-free "dessert". Their offerings of cuisine were what one would expect to receive from an American Chinese fast-food chain restaurant. Overall experience: not bad, just ok, but would recommend for a quick meal.

    Absolutely the worst and slowest service imaginable. The manager should be fired. Soooo slow.

The smell was so good that I drove around the strip mall parking lot trying to track down the source. That search led us to China Gourmet, a very unassuming restaurant tucked away in the shopping center. Once inside, you're transported into a charming mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant. The décor is simple, comfortable, and fitting for the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere. After looking through the menu, we decided on the Chef's Special Dinner. For our entrées, we chose the Chow Fun Noodles with Beef, Sizzling Black Pepper Beef, and Chicken Fried Rice. Appetizers included Egg Rolls, Deep-Fried Shrimp, and BBQ Ribs. The meal also came with a bowl of War Wonton Soup. Everything was freshly prepared and made to order. The ingredients tasted fresh, the flavors were well balanced, and every dish was cooked properly. The standout item for us was the Chow Fun Noodles with Beef. The tender beef and perfectly cooked noodles made it the highlight of the meal. Everything paired nicely with a chilled glass of Hexamer Riesling. To top it all off, the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, and all of our dishes arrived in a timely manner. We'll definitely be back for another visit.

That being said, we had a pleasant experience here. It's clean. It's bright from sunlight (not industrial lighting) inside. There are booths and tables so small or large party-flexible. Got a friendly greeting from the owner (maybe?). You pay when you go in, before you sit down, so there's no waiting for your check. If you'd like beer or wine (only wine by the bottle, but it's $16.10 a bottle - Copper Ridge), you buy that at the front, too. I had a Tsing Tao beer for $4.50. Self-serve tea in plastic mugs, which is just okay. It's a multi- row buffet with a lot of choices. We went for Friday night dinner, at 5:30. It had a few big tables of families and some small groups at the booths. I most enjoyed the salt and peppered pork, sesame balls, veggie spring rolls, and all the wok-cooked dishes with vegetables (like beef with broccoli and the wok-cooked green beans), which were perfectly cooked, fresh, and not too salty. The house special rib (a flat cut, not like a spare rib) was in a very exotic magenta sweet/spicy sauce and was worth a taste. There was a dish of fried salt and pepper in-shell shrimp, which I would have tried if I had felt like shelling shrimp. My partner said the steamed peel-and-eat shrimp were also very good. I was impressed with the fresh salad bar's cucumber slices, and fresh honeydew and cantaloupe, which all looked very nice. I would skip the noodles and the egg flower soup. Oh, and the soft-serve vanilla ice cream with sauces was very fun. There were many kinds of cookies that I wasn't familiar with that were fun to try: a vanilla wafer with cream cookie, and an almond cookie. The empty dishes were cleared quickly. It was a good value at $23(ish) per adult for dinner on the weekend. Different prices for lunch. We will be back!
