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...

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!
