China Gourmet

The disappointment in my brother’s face is from the $13 combo fried rice size and a total of TWO shrimp. As for myself, my Mongolian beef with lite onions and fried rice was good. Overpriced in my opinion, but it’s Boulder. North Boulder at that. This order came out to $32 plus tax. *As I was writing the review and eating, the fork literally snapped in half. 4 stars to 3 just for the pour cutlery.

I really like the food here, it's the go to Chinese place for my family. They have a ton of great dishes, but we all really love their chicken fried rice, it's really awesome. They also have a really good eggplant with hot garlic sauce that is really tasty, though I will say it's not very spicy, so if you want spicy maybe ask them to add a bit more heat to it. The sesame chicken is really good too, as is the pork mushu. We haven't eaten in the restaurant yet, we always get it to go and order ahead, but it's always ready will quickly and the service is great.

Worst Chinese food I've ever had. Was not impressed with any of the food. Crab cheese Wontons were horrible, sesame chicken, the chicken was over cooked breading all mushy. Fried rice was not even fried rice. Most everything we ordered went in the trash. We only gave China Gourmet a chance because our favorite place is closed on Sundays. And never again I highly recommend do not waste your time and money not worth it.

Food is incredibly delicious but apparently mgmt is not competent. A strong manager would have this place running smoothly and people positioned in ways that will help this place better serve customers. The current employees don't see the obvious and easy issues going on and there's LOTS of employee's here.. one issue being taking too much orders inside store without telling new walk ins to please wait one moment while fulfilling other very easy no brainer tasks like putting more ice in ice bins. It's the weakest run restaurant I've ever witnessed. I know the biz too as j've been in all positions previously. Also, as a employee you never tell a customer that you're too busy to do something while you're at the location of the issue and then go ask another employee to do it. The inside is not even packed. Weak, weak workers. Weakly ran store. Never got my iced tea so they threw me a hot one and I added ice. Threw meaning left it and ran off. Hire Bourdain or whatever his name is because I'm a top ten % food writer and this is a one star joint. Taste is 5 Star so far. So matter fact i'll raise to 2.

Very good, fast, cheap food. It’s the best Chinese food in town, although not all of the food is Chinese. The Restaurant could use a renovation sometime, and they do not accept cards for payment. This is very annoying because if you don’t have cash you have to go to Lucky’s to use the ATM which costs $3-$4 to use. It’s not like it costs that much to accept credit/debit cards because if they did they would gain a lot more sales, therefore you earn the money back. It is due to places like this that you will never see a cashless society.

Very disappointing. Been coming here for a while. I get the coconut curry chicken which has chicken, carrots, bell peppers, and onions with coconut curry sauce. I used to get this order with no bell peppers but they started giving me onions and carrots ONLY and occasionally some chicken. a meat dish usually has 4 to 6 oz of meat, at least they do in decent restaurants. So because of the uneven portions I always order light onions no bell peppers. and the last few times I have ordered take out I have gotten this dish that had literally over a pound of carrots and almost no chicken. I have held my tongue on this for a while but this is just unacceptable. The last two times I have gotten food here it has been inedible. I am not sure who eats a pound of carrots for dinner, but that is not me. The photo below shows the dish full of carrots which are not even cooked, and the sauce was so watered downed. I had to just make oatmeal for dinner. I don't think its a lot to ask that my order be made right. especially when I spend money here so often. I will be returning this dish and asking for my money back asap.
