Good Food, but the 2 times we have had the food delivered, the delivery guy has been on his cell phone and won't even hang-up or stop talking long enough to take my check. It make figuring out the tip easy though! Very Rude.

4 Stars: China Gourmet is our Favorite Place to Eat In Paso Robles (by Barbara R.)

Great value for the money. We eat there often and frequently also use take-out. We normally order almond chicken and beef broccoli. They have been very good about letting me substitute chow mein for rice with my eat-in meals. My husband really likes the hot and sour soup. The spring rolls are served hot and crisp. Today I just wanted those to go with left-over fried rice I had at home, and I was assured they would stay hot for 30 minutes in the bag. They were still just right when we were ready to eat.

We have never had anything but great food here. It is served attractively, and you often get things like salad, fruit and jello with lunch, even though they aren't on the menu. We normally go for lunch, since dinner is more expensive, but one holiday we could only get dinner. It was twice as much, but we got twice as much food and ate the leftovers for three days, so it was still a good value.

Another thing we love is the atmosphere. This is one of the few places we can afford to eat out where it's quiet enough to hear each other talk. The atmosphere is serene, and even the art on the walls and the aquarium you see near the entrance are conducive to peace and relaxation. The people who serve you are friendly and helpful and the owner really appreciates his customers and lets them know it.

This is our go to chinese restaurant. The food is great and the service is even better. We've had them forget hot sauce (which my husband absolutely has to have) and when we mentioned it, they ran back to the store and brought it back out to us. We have even had the owner himself deliver to us. They are very friendly, the prices are a little steep but you do get a lot of food. Probably not best if you are ordering for only 1 or 2 people but definitely good if you have quite a few people to feed. We even got a bunch of spring rolls for free when we ordered on Christmas Eve.

This cozy small town restaurant makes the best wor won ton soup. The servings are family style. My family enjoys every visit. The service is friendly.
