| - Glad that we finally tried this spot. Ordered for pickup via Eat24, and was pleased with the speed with which our food was ready.
We tried the egg rolls, Hong Kong style crispy noodles, shrimp egg foo young, and chicken fried rice. (Yes, it was a cold, Chinese comfort food sort of night.) All the dishes were good--well executed and, seemingly, for inexpensive Chinese takeout, healthfully prepared; the food didn't seem insanely salty (again, from a relative standpoint), and it wasn't prepared using MSG (always nice not to have that telltale post-meal reaction).
The prices were reasonable, and the portions good-sized. The chicken fried rice seemed like a particularly good deal ($6.25 for a large container).
I agree with the previous reviewer that, for New York City expats like myself, this Chinese takeout spot is a decent choice. On the Chinese takeout spectrum that exists outside of New York--from Middle-America-mall-food-court food to somewhat-reminiscent-of-what-you-can-order-anywhere-in-the-city--China Gourmet's food falls toward the latter end. It won't change your life, but it will satisfy your hunger on nights when you don't feel like cooking.
