This place wasOne of the best Chinese restaurants probably in the United States. I'm very sorry to see it closed down

They tried to scam me! The other day I ordered chicken lo mein noodles, and expected egg noodles, some vegetables, and some chicken. I also ordered edamame. I got home and opened the bag, and instead of lo mein, I got a large cup of shredded vegetables in a broth, and one small sliver of chicken on top. This was absolutely not what I ordered, but I was too tired to go back and complain. I thought maybe they make lo mein very differently. A few days later I ordered chicken chow mein, which one hundred percent can not be made without noodles. Again, I go home and open the same shredded vegetable broth. This time I knew something was up so I drove back to the restaurant, showed my receipt, and asked why I didn’t get what I ordered. The lady was extremely rude and tried convincing me that I was holding the chow mein, and tried telling me the noodles I wanted were actually lo mein. After explaining I ordered the lo mein last time and got the same vegetable stew, she kept trying to convince me I was mistaken. After like three mins of arguing she finally accepted defeat and told the chef to make “one large chicken chow mein”. (She clearly knew that the chow mein are supposed to be noodles). I finally got my noodles and as she handed them to me she rolled her eyes and said “order the right thing next time”. The noodles were very greasy, and had almost no flavor. It was an abomination to my tastebuds. Even the chicken was dry and chewy. BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE THIS RESTAURANT WILL TRY TO GIVE YOU THE INCORRECT, MUCH CHEAPER OPTION SO THEY CAN SAVE LIKE SEVEN BUCKS!

Pretty dirty and no soap in restroom - which means staff are probably not washing their hands.

The chicken and broccoli uses this brown sauce that I just love, other places usually use this clear stuff. Not nearly as good. The fried rice is also amazing ?

Amazing - not another Chinese place like it on this coast.

Standard take out American type Chinese. Good, oily, fast food type pepper steak. Not bad but not like… amazing.

Moving back home and one of my first thoughts was, "I hope Oriental Gourmet is still there " In all my years out in LA, I have searched for food that tasted like it does here. No chicken broccoli compares. None of it. Thank god they are still here! The food here feels homemade, the owners are badasses, the prices are fair... 100% recommend the food here. Thank you!

Our absolutely favorite spot for Chinese food in town. Freshly made and tasty each and every time.

Consistent Chinese food, very tasty and reasonably priced. My family has been ordering take-out from them for 20+ years and never have we been disappointed. This is not gourmet fare, it is comfort food -- and for that purpose, it could not be better.

Food did not taste great. Maybe just me. We got chicken with broccoli and sesame chicken.
Food is good but I wish they would deliver....And offer sauces without begging for them each time. Take out for us is the only option. The entertainment space needs a big renovation. Kitchen always looks very clean.

No sitting there, just ordering and taking out. The lady in the front desk was very rude. Will never come here.

Their vegetable friend rice is literally SO good. Like it has changed throughout the years (I have been ordering from this restaurant for 25 years) but it is literally SO amazing and I love them

Favorite Chinese in the area!The basic chicken and broccoli is delicious. The meat is tender, and the sauce adds the perfect amount of tang. They're also generous with the rice.Let them know if you have allergies because there's lots of ingredients in the sauce you may not expect.

Wow, was this a disappointment!! The food was greasy, and had very little flavour. One of the dishes we ordered was szechuan tofu. There was a warning that it would be spicy. It was not spicy, it literally had no taste. Usually the tofu is stir-fried, this tofu was just cut up and put in the tasteless sauce. This place is, sadly, a one and done.
