for a typical noodle and siu mei (roasted meat) joint, the name is a bit presumptuous. moreover, like many chinatown restaurants, it is noisy and can be crowded, and little attention is given over to pleasantries and other niceties. (however, in case you're wondering, it is *sufficiently* clean.)
taste and speed are factors that distinguish a chinatown restaurant, and house of gourmet excels on both fronts. for example, the beef brisket is more tender and juicier than its peers (for example, goldstone and king's noodle).
it's good food at a good price.
