Good food. Good vegetables. Excellent taste. Excellent portion

Good Chinese food is bursting with flavour. Gilly's food has no flavour. Wontons were musty with overcooked broccoli and broth with little taste or seasoning. Chow mein totally bland. Fried prawns covered with a thick, doughy batter, sweet and sour pork very disappointing. Cook should watch Souped Up Recipes on YouTube.

I called this Chinese restaurant and the lady who answered was incredibly rude, cutting me off mid-sentence and speaking in a condescending tone.

Unfortunately, our favorite Chinese place was closed when we came through Grand Forks, so we tried Gilly's. As my mom put it, it was edible but not good. Really no flavor. We had a 3 item combo and 2 item combo. There were not many options to choose from, which was a disappointment and there was maybe 2 pieces of beef in our food, they were not good at all. Very slimy and no flavor, as well as hard to chew. My favorite part was the almond chicken. However, it would not be for most people. I do like greasy and this was too greasy for me, but I still liked it. It tasted mushy and the gravy was weird with the almond chicken. It is not something I have had before on Almond chicken. But surprisingly, I did like it all. Although, I am not sure many other people would. Everything else just wasn't tasty. The chow mein was soggy with no flavor and the chicken chow mein had pieces of deli meat instead of real chicken, that was a surprise. We are very glad we got a side of sweet and sour sauce or I am not sure we would have eaten much. There aren't a lot of places to eat in Grand Forks, so we would go back if everywhere was closed again. Just wish everything was fresher and had better flavor. I also wish they still had their buffet. If they have no intentions of doing it again, they should get rid of all the buffet equipment and take off of Google that they have a buffet....it has been years. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the lights were off except for the area we were siting in. The hallway to the bathrooms and the bathrooms themselves were also dark, so we had to find the lights. The atmosphere is quite out of date. The owners were very nice and seem like wonderful people. I would love to see them tweak things a bit and make it much better. There is a lot of potential here. I hope one day they take advantage of that potential.

As always, great Chinese food restaurant. Very personable and always remember me by my order that I do once a month. Great atmosphere.
We were driving thru Grand Forks and randomly picked Gilly’s Restaurant. And are pleasantly surprised. The food is good and the service was very quick. It is a great find on our tour of Southern BC.

Thought I'd give these guys another chance, save your money. Food is passable, outrageously priced, and poorly portioned. Dishes not even half full. Won't be back.

Amazing little gem of a restaurant hidden away on hwy 3. The flavors were amazing and food amounts were great I went at end of day so very quiet I wish this was in my local town. I would definitely eat here again. The Cantonese chow mien was amazing as was the homemade curry
