China Gourmet Restaurant

Excuse me? Why is this so good??? Went with my boyfriend for their lunch special ($33 for 3 dishes), and it hits so haaaard. Not only the food was life-changing, but also because of the cheaper price, the ambience, the "hidden gem" feeling, and the very chill server, the experience is now very very life-altering. We ordered spicy fish fillet (it wasn't spicy at all), duck blood, and spinach with beef. All of them were good. They didn't have much spices like other Chinese restaurant, but the simpleness feeling of the dishes made them felt hearty and homey. We were particularly digging the duck blood, it had such a bizarre yet good taste. Will definitely come back and try more things!!! Update: we came here for the second time and the server remembered us!!! He even remembered that we aske

I’ve walked by this spot way too many times but cannot believe I never tried it. Today, my friends wanted to go and I’m glad we did. I absolutely love the conch rice noodles, it was so thin and fun. The texture was different from other rice noodles. I also love their special wonton soup. They look different from the normal Cantonese wontons, it was smaller but it was good. The soup was umami. The fresh fish in tomato was absolutely breathtaking! If you’re in town and want something other than Cantonese food, try them out. They specialize in Szechuan, Xiang and Min cuisines. The super friendly waiter, Sam was the highlight of the meal. He checked to see how we liked each dish. That’s customer service!

I took note of this place from an "Eat Your Way Through Chinatown"-type of article. The recommended dishes in said article were the fried chicken with chilis and the Pig's feet soup. Of the two dishes I tried the Golden Pig's Trotter dish, as I like to try weird stuff. It was a little intimidating to eat, but it was really good, and you got a large portion for a reasonable price. I would order it again, and I plan to go back to try the chicken dish sometime.

This restaurant has become my fiancée and I’s happy place since we moved to Boston a few months ago. The staff is always kind, the food is delicious (I cannot recommend the wonton soup enough) and the atmosphere feels comfortable in a way I’ve struggled to find here. If you’re looking for a well-priced meal out, please stop by China Gourmet!

Great food for a great price AND they have karaoke with a whole lighting setup and everything. Will absolutely be back, love this place!
