| - My friend randomly text me a picture of the noodles he ordered the other day, which turned out to be from China Gourmet. It is just a few doors down from QQ Tea Plus (which I am sadden to learn has shuttered its door recently), and is across the street from the Old SF Market and Milk Teaze. The noodles looked pretty good. But since moving to the SW, I no longer drive down Spring Mountain Rd as frequently as I once did.
Fast forward a week or two, we decided to grab a late lunch at China Gourmet. It was around 3pm when I arrived after stopping by the ATM, and the place was completely empty. Not the best feeling or first impression, but I went in any way and was greeted by a Chinese waitress asking if I wanted ice water or tea while I waited for my friend to arrive.
We initially were planning to order one of their noodles, but after looking over their menus and talking to the waitress, we ended up ordering their Beef Roll (large enough to share or have as a meal, instead of an appetizer) and also an order of their Seafood Dumpling (it has shrimp and pork, in case you are wondering).
The orders came out fairly quickly, and was surprisingly good. I would definitely be back to try more of their "Breakfast" menu, which I think is actually served all day, and to try more from their Dumpling menu.
The food is not high end or gourmet, the presentation right out of the kitchen is fairly pedestrian and trying to glam it up for social media will definitely require some skills, but if you are down for wholesome Chinese food at a reasonable price, this China Gourmet is your place.
