China Gourmet Scituate

We ordered the sesame sparkling chicken. The portions were small for $18 a plate, comparable to a $9-12 dish elsewhere, and the chicken wasn’t very lean. It was also delivery, which took over an hour vs the website-advertised 30 minutes. The chicken fingers were good though.

It may not look like much from the outside, but this is probably the best Chinese food I've had in MA. The General Gau's tofu is amazing so I'd imagine the versions with meat are as well. A family member always gets something with shrimp and says they're so much bigger and fresher than other places, and another with a food allergy has been very happy with how accommodating they've been and impressed that they manage to make it taste good even when having to improvise and leave out typical ingredients. Highly recommend.

Updating what up until I became quite ill from what I must attribute to a takeout here 3 weeks ago of pork lo mein and chicken with peanuts whichever dish was responsible I don’t know. Most likely the pork lo mein….. Not only was there an exceptionally long wait on line to pick up due to a disgruntled seemingly paranoid customer whose accusations of having been sick previously began making the line forming behind me a little queasy as well. This was not the fault of the restaurant— the usual very outspoken no nonsense checkout lady must have had the night off so some others were forced to deal with a bothersome customer. I sympathized with the employee and paid my bill for a takeout. I had no preconceived notions or doubt about the food but within 35-45 min of consumption of half of each dish, I was sick as a dog and it continued for 14 straight days. Dr visits and tests ruled out any bug or parasite—I was told food poisoning can last that long in our own body’s determination to be rid of every single morsel of whatever disagreed with our system. So, I’m not saying everything is tainted in fact I’m so sad because I can never eat there again and previously found them to be the only decent Chinese restaurant around here. Just be careful with the pork ? I don’t know but this is absolutely the worst and longest I had ever experienced such a violent reaction to food. But like clockwork 35 min later ….. Awful. I know I’m spoiled from living on Long Island NY for the last few years where the competition is so fierce for every kind of food from the ornamental diners to Italian Greek Mexican and Chinese. So I’m sad that the quality of food hasn’t even come close except the Italian local restaurants that are wonderful. Forget about anything else. I regret having to lose what I’d found to be pretty decent. But this is my experience and hopefully it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

It has some of the best Chinese food south of Boston. Their consistency and quality are very good. My favorite is General Gau's Chicken. The only downside is they are takeout only. But the upside is my orders are always ready when they told me.

Taste ok. Even though it indicates dine in available , it only have 1 table for 4 people. So dont expect to dine in. Parking: Plenty of parking available.

Generous portions and fresh made food. Awesome to have a local chinese restaurant. Highly recommend the chicken fingers, fried rice and house lomein.

the most amazing chinese food on the south shore! great family run business. every dish is outstanding!

Great food, quick and friendly service from lovely staff!

Somebody broke their window last weekend. I am praying that it was just an accident. The China Gourmet staff are extremely hard working people that are passionate about their business. They are proud of their place in our community and they should be. Their food and service is outstanding. We are blessed to have such excellent Chinese take-out right here in downtown Scituate! Sometimes their phone rings off the hook so be patient! They are doing their best to serve us all.

Best Chinese food around! We come from Marshfield to get it & they even will deliver to us! Delicious every time. My wife loves the Beijing raviolis. This place is a gem.
