I love Chinese food, my wife and kids can take it or leave it, they aren't jumping for joy when we get it but they don't complain either. Let me begin by telling you, Gourmet China Bistro was a hit for dinner tonight. We usually order from another Chinese food restaurant here in Aliante and my wife read about Gourmet China Bistro on the nextdoor app. She further researched it on Yelp and considering the great reviews we decided to give it a try.
The gentleman who took our order over the phone was pleasant and easy to communicate with. However, unbelievably, he told me my pickup order would be ready in 4 minutes... Yes, you read that correctly, 4-minutes. Living right around the corner I made my way to the restaurant right away. Sure enough it was ready when I arrived.
The inside of the restaurant is on the smaller side with only 3-4 tables, but it has a very nice and cozy inviting feel to it. Most importantly it is very clean and the entire kitchen is easily visible from the customer area.
The gentleman working the counter greeted me and assisted in completing my transaction. I like that he took the time to go over my order with me to make sure I had all of my items.
The entire time I was in the restaurant he was very nice, complimentary and made me feel at home. He did ask if we'd heard about them on Yelp and I explained that we had researched them on Yelp which was the determining factor in ordering from them. However, I confessed that we had originally intended to order from the other Chinese restaurant since they have always been our go to place. He responded with "Well that's okay because you'll be back to see us. You'll see that our quality exceeds theres" and boy was he right! Everything was amazing.
