It’s still so hard to rate Chinese food after eating at Kwan’s for so many years, but China Gourmet is a wonderful hidden gem in north central Salem. The service is great and the restaurant is cozy yet small. The food is delicious and flavorful and was fresh and hot. Pot Stickers were amazing. So was the Kung Poa Chicken and the Garlic Sauce Chicken. BBQ Pork fried rice was as expected and we will try a different fried rice next time.

This place is really good! High quality ingredients. We are vegetarian and I really appreciated the freshness and variety of veggies in all our meals.

The food was prepared to perfection, the service prompt and friendly, portion size generous and price was great. We decided we had found a little gem that ultimately will replace our favorite Chinese restaurant. The food was exquisitely Fresh and Tasty beyond our expectations! Did I mention we now have our new Chinese restaurant 😋 Enjoy!!!

I tried the kung pao chicken along with the sesame, it was a very pleasurable experience. A very warm environment with helpful staff.

Fresh mushrooms in the Mushroom Beef, with fried rice and BBQ pork appetizer! So good!
My friend and I came to order takeout. When inquiring about what we wanted to order, the lady thought that's what we wanted to clarify several times. When we asked if we could have noodles instead of rice as my friend has been here before and knows she likes the noodles, the lady who I believe is the owner, I told us know you don't want noodles I guarantee it's the rice you want. In a very standoffish rude tone. Even if the food was phenomenal, I would never come back to this establishment because of the attitude of the woman taking the order, who I believe is the owner as she said she's been here for 10 plus years and knows what's good on her menu. Well in my opinion if you don't think the noodles are good enough, because when someone orders noodles you suggest rice, I would think that that means not everything on your menu is good. Also I am not one who normally leaves reviews unless the place was super good or super bad. And to top it all off the food that we got was absolutely disgusting the rice not even fried. And it was supposed to be fried rice. It is literally white rice with some vegetables I don't even think that there was pork like most Chinese restaurants have. The teriyaki sauce on the sesame chicken or whatever sauce it was, was bitter and had a vinegar bite to it. I suggest if you want Chinese food you do not go here and instead try John's Chinese on River road, I promise there you will not be disappointed. If you order from China Gourmet (?? gourmet??) you're going to be disappointed.

Small location, went on a Sunday evening about 2 hrs before closing. Only 1 server, very efficient. Everything we ordered was delicious, you can tell the the veggies were fresh. We had the sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, king pao combination, and the crispy gourmet noodles. You can see that the soy sauce bottles need a good wipe down.

Tried this place today for the first time. I got the sweet and sour chicken and fried rice. I also added the egg flour soup.The soup is DELICIOUS! They put just a tad bit of crab in it, and it really brings out a ton of flavor! The chicken was crispy but also tender. A perfect balance of sweet and sour for the sauce. However they cook the rice, is superb! Not greasy at all, no MSG and the veggies tasted so fresh!The lady that served us was incredibly nice and welcoming. Punctual and easy to talk with. Food was so good, I ordered take out for dinner and got it before we left!Blessings to this business and I look forward to filling my stomach again and enjoying wonderful smiles while dining in.
