Amazing Delivery for two. I've been ordering the dinner for two for over 3 years now, and I haven't found a better place yet.
I usually sub the chop suey for lo mein - it's a couple bucks more but totally worth it. The portion sizes are great, they usually can't even close the box for the chicken balls and wings!
If you're a fan of fresh canadian chinese food and you're looking for a solid place to order in, look no further. -

I've been ordering Takeout here for a few years. The food is good and the quality good too. Delivery times are reasonable. However, my biggest compliant from this place is that some of their dishes are not consistent in terms of how they are prepared. For example, depending on the chef/cook the Shanghai noodles might be spicy, or it might not be. Order Beef and Broccoli and it might be Beef and Broccoli or it might be Beef and Broccoli with various sweet peppers, celery, carrots, and other veggies. Beef Ho Fan (Rice Noodle, beef, green peppers, onions and black bean sauce) might be just that or with broccoli, carrots, celery and other veggies (do you see a pattern?).
Of course if you order something simple dishes like Lemon Chicken, or Cantonese Chow Mein, they get it right.
Therefore, I thing it is reasonable to dock a couple of stars until the different chefs drop their "I will cook how I want to cook" and start preparing their dishes consistently. When customers order their food, they expect it to be the same every time, and not some surprise variation every time they order. -

I've eaten there twice over the past two months. Their prices are very fair and portions are large. Their service is also quick.
They do offer delivery but I've never tried them. -

Hot and sour soup is among the best I've had, if a little too vinegary. I've only ordered delivery, but have been blown away by the size of the portion. A $6 rice dish came in a standard 10-inch Styrofoam container, but packed to the roof! Had to be careful when opening it, because there was so much, it poured out. Very tasty dish with shrimp and pork. The chili chicken was fantastic. This is not top of the line Chinese food, but as far as I could tell, it was a great take on the old-fashioned, North American-style Chinese takeout.
I'd recommend this for anyone looking for some good, FAST (within 30mins) home delivery.Listed in: Restaurants

I like certain dishes when I go out for Chinese food (or order in), and those dishes are what I use to compare the different restaurants. While I can't speak for everyone's tastes, when I think of Chinese food I am thinking more meat and rice than the vegetable side of things. My partner and I were buying some cat food across the street and when we saw China Gourmet we were instantly in the mood for Chinese food.
On first entering we were actually surprised. We don't know how long the restaurant was in that location, but it was extremely clean and shiny unlike most Chinese restaurants visited. The windows, floors, counters, everything was just spotless which was rather inviting.
I ordered the standard General Tao's Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork with Pineapple, beef fried rice, and some vegetable dish for my partner. As with most ethnic food restaurants it took a few minutes for the girl taking my order to get it right, but nothing more than usual. What was noticed was that there was not a smile from the girl, just a straight "doing business as usual" look on her face. The food was decent, but nothing spectacular. Even though cooked to order it still had the taste of a fast food chain like Manchu Wok instead of like a quality Chinese restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the food was good and at a good price, but I was expecting a little more in the way of spices and flavour to the food that fell short.
For good food on the go, I would say that they should not be passed by. But that being said, they would not be my first choice (or probably even in my top 10) Chinese food restaurants to order from when delivery is preferred. -

If you're craving some greasy Chinese takeout, it doesn't get any better than China Gourmet. They've got a massive menu, but I pretty much always order the Cantonese Chow Mein or Fresh Vegetable Lo Mein with Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls and spring rolls. For $20 and free delivery, you really can't beat the amount of food, more than enough for 2 people with leftovers. Everything is super yummy; veggies are fresh, the chicken actually looks and tastes like chicken, and you get a massive bowl of vibrant red sweet and sour sauce with your chicken balls. Sure, it may not be 'authentic' Chinese and it will probably kill you if you eat it too often, but it's a delicious treat. My favourite Chinese takeout in the city!
