| - Chinese food for me is my comfort haven and I will spend a high dollar amount to have the best, if need be. But, either I've been looking in the wrong places or quality Chinese food just doesn't exist in Las Vegas. I'm originally from California and I never had this problem out there. I just have to have the best when it comes to something I love so much, especially if I'm spending my money on it because there's nothing like coming out of pocket for food that is sub par or below average. So anyways, I've been searching for "authentic" good tasting Chinese food since my arrival to Vegas 10 years ago. I've been going to China Gourmet for about 2 years now, switching up and trying new Chinese restaurants in between. Never again. Nope. I'm always left disappointed when I branch out to the other places. None of the Chinese food places I've gone to comes even remotely close to China Gourmet. From my knowledge of what constitutes real Chinese food, China Gourmet is as close as you'll get.
I ordered Shrimp chow mein, Shrimp fried rice, General tso chicken, 4 egg rolls, Crab Rangoon, and because I used a coupon that I received in the mail, I was able to get a free appetizer. I chose the butterfly shrimp.
Normally I get my food delivered (they deliver) but decided to pick up this time since I was in the area. I was greeted when I walked in and the employees were nice enough. I was told the wait time would be between 10 and 20 minutes. I believe my order was ready within 15 minutes, so brownie points there.
When I got home, I didn't eat right away, but rather 3 or 4 hours later, and guess what? The food,(ALL OF IT) was still piping hot!!! I was super impressed.
The shrimp chow mein was very flavorful. Not too many veggies, the shrimp were plentiful and large, and most importantly, it tasted like traditional chow mein! The noodles are on the large side, which I do not like, but all in all, great dish. The shrimp fried rice is super good! Love it. As with the chow mein, there is no shortage of the shrimp they give you in the shrimp fried rice. Also, I need to add that the portions are enormous! Seriously, you get so much of everything. The general tso chicken is really good too. Not as spicy as I'd like, but still very good. The egg rolls are large, have crispy wrappers, and the veggie mixture inside is not mushy. I love to eat them with the red sweet and sour sauce they give you. Crab Rangoon was my favorite of the appetizers. They've got a kind of sweet taste to them, but not overpowering. A must try for sure. The butterfly shrimp, I didn't enjoy too much and probably wouldn't order again. They are decent in size but a little flavorless and not crispy. But, they were free so I ate them.
As I mentioned above, I've been ordering from China Gourmet for a while now, and I've also tried other dishes they offer, which include honey walnut shrimp, orange chicken, and sweet and sour chicken. All of these are amazing!! And don't forget you get large portions here!!!
China Gourmet is it if you want great tasting Chinese cuisine. Delivery times are reasonable, wait times for pick up is fast, and price wise, you can't go wrong...very affordable for the portions you get.
I should also add that this is a dine in restaurant too. It's located next to the Smith's and Starbuck's on Nellis and Sahara. It's small, but plenty of seating is available.
Check them out!!
