**Review of Chinese Gourmet Restaurant** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Me and a friend was just at the Chinese Gourmet Restaurant located at Carleton and Parliament in Toronto, and I can confidently say it was a delightful culinary experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy dinner with friends. We started our meal with egg rolls, which were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. They set the stage for what was to come. The BBQ chicken wings were a highlight—glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce that left us wanting more. For our main courses, we indulged in chicken chop suey, sweet & sour chicken balls, and diced beef with vegetables. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with freshness. The chicken chop suey was a delightful mix of textures and flavors, while the sweet & sour chicken balls were a perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. The diced beef with vegetables was tender and cooked to perfection, showcasing the chef's skill in balancing flavors. To accompany our feast, we ordered chicken fried rice, which was fluffy and infused with just the right amount of seasoning. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who ensured our dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. If you're in the area and craving authentic Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend visiting the Chinese Gourmet Restaurant. You won't be disappointed!

This hole in the wall restaurant is perfect for the lazy nights when you craving for 90s style western Chinese foods take out or delivery like fried rice, noodle with the sweet sour chicken. The price is fair and portions are generous.

General Tso’s chicken was great. Fast and friendly service. Would order again.

Great little place. I LOVE their chicken balls as it's mostly chicken vs other places where it's mostly breading and 10 percent chicken. Love coming here and can't wait to try other dishes!

There is a fine, fine line in dumpling making, where especially, in pan fried dumplings, one must cook it enough to have a delicate crunch while not over frying or burning the delicate food in the slightest. And this place has found the perfect center. I love trying dim sum, and this place blew it out of the park. I instantly was wooed as I enjoyed the slightly oily, comforting taste of the dumpling in my mouth. More so, the crunch and exquisite taste of the fried elements. It was paired with a simple, delicious sauce. I had the wor tip? I believe. Absolutely amazing. Paired with that, I ate chicken and corn soup. A thick soupy base paired with the light taste of corn, egg and steamed chicken made it feel truly homemade. It was comforting and made me feel at home. Due to skyrocketing inflation, this store has been forced to bring up it's prices. Inflation is rising so quickly it's menus haven't yet changed at the time of this review. But, you are still getting a bargain deal! It breaks my heart to see this store struggling so immensely due to lack of customers and neck breaking rise in costs, especially this this store has been here for so long. So please, check out this store! You won't be displeased!
