It's been awhile since I've gotten Chinese take out. After a long day of hiking and exploring in Death Valley, this was my option to relieve me of any cooking duties that night.
I did not phone ahead but walked in cold. I ordered the hot garlic chicken with no spice level for my wife who doesn't do spicy. For myself, I got an order of Singapore noodles. I had a seat at one of the tables and in less than 5 minutes, one of the employees was there with my order.
The rice and garlic chicken were packed in standard take out containers now made without wire handles. My noodles were in a styrofoam box. The bag had napkins, soy sauce, and plastic spoons.
Both meals were good. There was a good amount of chicken, beef, and shrimp with my noodles. The sauce with the garlic chicken was OK. My wife liked it and I took a taste.
I'll return to China Gourmet. It's not a far drive and it's another option for a quick dinner.
