China Gourmet — Restaurant in Four Corners

First off let me say: Chinese food has always been about big, bold flavors. Sweet, sour, a good kick of spice. These are the things that make truly good Chinese cooking.

Now let me say this: I experienced none of these things for dinner tonight. What I received was bland, mediocre, and absolutely uninspired. While the food looked very good, all of it was under seasoned, bland, and tasted of sweet nothing.

I ordered our usual family order: Two General Tsos dinner specials Two orders of dumplings A wonton soup and an egg drop soup Egg rolls

It all lacked flavor. The General Tsos was sweet, had no spice, and was mushy as if it hadn't properly been crisped in the wok. The highlight of the meal was the soups, with ample wontons and a nice flavor for the egg drop soup. The dumplings were unseasoned and bland chicken. No veg or pork to add flavor and texture, and the sauce was flavorless and thin. It was our first time ordering here so we're very disappointed. Alas, the search for good Chinese food...

Went to China Gourmet while my car was in the shop. Came in, no wait, I ordered the General Tso's lunch combo and chose a seat. The cook went into the back and I could hear him making my food, and he finished it pretty quick.

He brought it in a to-go container, but I told him I was just going to eat it here so he didn't bag it up. I tried the fried rice and it was a little bland. I poured on some soy sauce and that fixed it for the most part. I turned my attention to the General Tso's chicken and was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty good as it was, didn't need any tweaking. There was plenty of sauce, so I ended up mixing my fried rice in with the sauce and wasn't disappointed. Good stuff.

Total, spent $6 and change, and it came with a can of soda. I can...

I drove there and I ordered chicken fried rice, I get back home and find out I got white rice and. I chicken! I went back and they tried to give me the chicken fried rice that’s been sitting there for 20 minutes! She knew I was coming back obviously. I said I would like a fresh one please, she said ok and rushed to cook my food which took less then 2 minutes! I got back home and opened the container and the chicken was still pink uncooked. I had to drive back and return that as well! They were laughing and being disrespectful by talking their language. I got money back but I’ll never go there again. And this wasn’t the first issue. Had other issues in the past. There is another Chinese place around the corner by Publix!...
