I just had Asian Gourmet for the first time two days ago, and was immediately downright blown away- the freshness, seasoning, overall cook, quality of ingredients (obviously not top, but above what comparable spots use), and portion sizes are all five-star. I've had a lot of mall Chinese spanning three continents in my 30+ years on earth, and I want to say, to the very best of my recollection, this might be the very best. It was so good I had to go back the next day, and plan to go again tomorrow. I foresee it becoming something of a problem tbh. It really is impressive how the two times I've been so far, everything on display was so plump and vibrant- clearly fresh. My only criticism is the rice was unspectacular, noodles nothing to write home about either (but better than the rice)- everything else was incredible. I'm generally not a General Tao chicken guy, but theirs is BY FAR the best I've had anywhere- the sauce is the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and smokey. Black pepper beef is incredible here- the sauce doesn't overpower like in many places, allowing for the beef (which is perfectly tender) to shine. The chili shrimp are also just incredible- perfectly crispy, love their batter. The Asian bbq chicken is so succulent and expertly cooked. Everything is bomb- can't wait to try everything else over time. When I came here to discover "only" a 3.8, I was surprised, as I was certain I'd find a mid-high-4's score, but then reading the reviews, I see it's largely pertaining to the service and some other issues rather than the food- so that makes sense. Even though it's not that close to where I live, I will def be stopping by at least once a week...
Read moreAsian Gourmet located in the Lawrence Allen Centre. I normally attend the market at this mall but I decided to go to the food court as I have heard about the food and thought I would give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised how nice and cool the staff are and the portions are great too. I got the General Tso Chicken and chicken wings with rice and a side of sweet and sour sauce. The General Tso Chicken is crispy and good. The wings were good too. I was glad I made the effort to try the food. I will return again I suggest you give them a try too. The ladies that load your order are nice. There is a lot of parking but, the mall isn't one of my favorites but, it's about...
Read moreI visited your Chinese fast-food restaurant yesterday and unfortunately had a rather unpleasant experience. While enjoying my meal, I discovered a hair in my food, which was quite disgusting. I understand that these incidents can happen, but it was stomach turning, nonetheless and I lost my appetite. I hope you can address this hygiene concern to maintain the quality and cleanliness of your establishment or at least make hairnets mandatory. I have attached a photo of the hair in my food below and will no longer be returning to...
