The restaurant accepts reservations for parties of all sizes (around 70 people). Birthday reservations can be made in advance to receive surprises, free photos and free gifts. The photos can also be left on the photo wall as a souvenir.

Normally the food we get is very tasty, but this last time it had no flavor at all, so we are taking a pause from returning. We were very disappointed as finding a good Chinese restaurant is very hard.

Went to lunch with a friend. Great selection of lunch specials along with the full menu. Very reasonably prices 😃.

I've ordered takeout from here many times and it's been great, but my dine-in experience today was lackluster. Which sucks because I do love this place! There was a fly cooked into one of my crab rangoons and a few of my peeled shrimp still had large pieces of the shell left on. Service was great and the Thai tea is always perfect, just a few things this time that made me take stars off :/

At a time of bland global chains, Gourmet House is among Algonquin’s distinctive, local gems of the Fox River Valley. This was my late mother’s, God rest her, favorite restaurant for good reason. An inviting atmosphere, delicious food, wide-ranging menu, and unbeatable prices. The generously-portioned lunch options are served until 3:00 PM. See photo of my lunch portion firecracker chicken for under ten bucks. My wife loved the house lo mien. “House” means chicken, shrimp, and beef served together in a savory mix. When I declined an egg roll, the server graciously offered crab rangoon as a substitution at no charge. Xièxiè Gourmet House! The clean, welcoming, tranquility of the dining room transports one out of the ordinary, far-flung suburbs of Chicago and into the rich exotic flavors of Asia. The tables are thoughtfully set with beautiful blue glasses, white linen tablecloths, and quality dining ware. This is one of the few places you can still dine without noisy TV screens blaring and flashing ads in your face. Savor the flavor, be present in the moment, and crack open a fortune cookie for a pleasant dining experience.
