I had high hopes that China Gourmet would compare with Oriental Wok, but the food was a let down. From the general ambiance, China Gourmet has similar vibes to Oriental Wok it 's in a strangely windowless mostly subterranean) section of a building. This sort of automatically establishes the lighting for a nice dark, dinner type of feel. The food: I don 't say this lightly, but I feel like the fried rice was something on par to what I could make at home: it was on the dry side, and not very robust taste wise. The tea was great. The service was also great. A major positive was that all the food items were clearly labeled as gluten free gfo on the menu). Overall, this is not a place I would ret...
The food at China Gourmet was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. It was a nice change for us to dine here, as we are big fans of Chinese food. The restaurant is located just outside of downtown Cincinnati. I enjoyed the live music, although it was a bit too loud for my liking. Overall, China Gourmet was a great find. The service was slow and it seemed like they took a team approach to serving us. I had to inquire after the fourth person came to our table, which I felt detracted from the dining experience and caused us to wait longer than necessary. Despite this, I would give four stars for the food and atmosphere.
Unfortunately, my overall dining experience was further marred when I noticed a cockroach crawling towards my booth. The server mentioned they were undergoing treatment for pests, but the manager/owner seemed unaware of the issue and claimed it had never happened before. This incident was a major turnoff, and I do not plan on returning to this establishment. My companion had not visited the restaurant since before the pandemic and was hoping for a romantic and enjoyable evening, but it was quite the opposite. Very disappointing.
I dined here last night with a friend and we had a delicious meal. Service was quick and attentive. We shared multiple entrees and sides, and everything was flavorful and tasty. The owner stopped by multiple times to check in with us, and he was very friendly and sociable. The ambiance is romantic and would be great for a date night. This restaurant definitely deserves a 5 star rating as everything was perfect! China Gourmet will become a regular in our restaurant rotation.
Nice atmosphere--good ambiance, nice live music. On the downside, my meal was too salty and service was very slow.
