Went in the other day to buy a gift certificate, absolutely amazing customer service and the food has always been outstanding. Highly recommend to anyone in Swampscott.

Very disappointed, we asked for the fried rice to be spicy (to use chili oil or something similar), instead they put what tasted like Louisiana hot sauce all over it. The General Gao chicken portion was very small for $18 (about 10 pieces of chicken), and the crab rangoons had too sweet of a taste, almost like there was added sugar. We picked this place because the reviews were great, it’s a shame the food wasn’t as expected.

My friend went to this restaurant to go out on an outing and she will never go there again the food is cold and the food absolutely disgusting. I recommend not go to this restaurant.

I have traversed a good portion of the world... Tattooing in 7 countries, 38 states, (& merely visited a bunch more). THIS is by far my favorite (American style), Chinese food. My favorite being the General Gao's chicken. A flavor which has haunted me and left me deeply disappointed when eating elsewhere. For several years I have traveled here from the Philadelphia area longing for the food that soothes my soul. The staff is soo kind and accommodating. Very attentive to your needs. Some restaurants you dine at. This is a journey. An atmosphere. A dining experience.

This was the first time I came here. The service was friendly and I had Sashimi which was sooooo fresh and absolutely 😋

I literally ordered food from Chi Last night just so I could avoid the rude new female Hostess at the front. She tried to snatch my pen from my hand when I was writing down the tip when I ordered takeout once. I recently brought my friends to go in for dinner and they all commented on how miserable the new hostess woman is. I used to love gourmet garden and the manager at the front. But ever since he's gone, it's no longer a nice place to go eat with the new mean hostess.

Wow, we had such a great experience at the Gourmet garden. We typically order take out, but decided to dine in because the interior is so nice. The service was so friendly, efficient and the food was so fresh and delicious. The place was busy and I can see why. We’ll be back again soon and will include karaoke night!

Just at the restaurant and ordered Salmon Teriyaki. Not edible. Menu said it came with salad, waiter said not tonight though. Salmon was overcooked to the point it was too dry to chew and swallow. Brocolli on plate was cooked just a little, which is OK but it was ice cold. Rice served with meal was cold and dried out, I did not want to enter intro a dialogue with the staff so I asked to take it all home, but ditched in the nearest rubbish bin.

Always have a pleasant experience Service I'd great
No experience with the food always missing something We order big ball of seafood soup when we take back home it was half of them in the small container. This is ridiculous.

Excellent place to go for dinner if you’re trying to lose weight. Gourmet Garden? More like Diarrhea Garden!
I had been a faithful customer for well over a decade, but for the past few years every time I come back and give GG another shot it seems to find new ways to get worse. The interior is rapidly falling apart, the front of house staff is often very rude, and the food quality is extremely inconsistent.
Tonight was the cherry on top when I (along with a couple other members of my family) got very bad food poisoning almost immediately after dining. Will never be coming back here again, and plan on calling for a full refund tomorrow when I’m hopefully done feeling extremely ill.

Wow ?. I am genuinely astonished at how every item in my order managed to taste so unappealing. It's difficult to convey just how disappointing the flavors were. I ordered white rice, shrimp egg foo young, pepper-fried shrimp, and what can only be described as very artificial-tasting and looking chicken.
I had high hopes for this meal, especially since it was quite an expensive order, and I intended to enjoy it for lunch. Unfortunately, the experience was so unpleasant that I simply couldn't bring myself to eat any of it. It felt like a form of culinary torture. I strongly advise against trying this place; it was truly a dreadful experience. 0/10

Simply one the best Chinese restaurants in the area. The food has no MSG is delicious and priced right. They are very precise in their take out orders.
