House Of Gourmet

A large variety of foods to choose from ranging from barbeque meats to seafood dishes where the prices are inexpensive and reasonable! This is the place where you get your moneys worth where you can choose from over 100 meal items! The serving sizes here are huge and the food quality is better than expected! House of Gourmet is the best restaurant in Chinatown to find tasty quality BBQ meats! I love it here! I’ve been going here for awhile now and every time I do, it gets more and more delicious! This place is good for BBQ Duck & Pork (very savoury) and its suckling pig which is VERY crunchy! (very good together with white rice) I also like to order my all time favourite Crab Meat and Fish Maw Soup (with some pepper on the side for a little kick) which is very mouth-watering and can warm you up on a cold day. The veggies here are also good and fresh since the restaurant is so close to the Chinese super market, they buy their vegetables fresh everyday. Just make sure you eat during the lunch hours because that’s when the BBQ meats are at their freshest! Otherwise if you eat here during dinner, the meat sometimes turns out to be stale.

I wonder if "gourmet" in chinese translates to "A quantitative edible excess"

The prices range from affordable to reasonable and the portions range from reasonable to excessive so unless you can't stomach a large volume of speed-cooked "authentic as can be found in canada" chinese, there's really no down side.
Make sure to bring friends! Maybe a menu interpreter...

There are *TWO* oversized menus featuring literally hundreds of dishes and combination dinners.
Unless you delegate tasks and assign each person to a menu section, it might take your party a while to settle on an order.
I'm not joking, the menu is huge...and sometimes vague.

The food is consistently well cooked, and considering the price, more than worth it! Check this place out!

house of gourmet is simpily the best restaurant in china town. i've been going there for years now and every time i take some one there they love it!! the bbq pork is to die for and is the main dish i look foward to. the staff is friendly and quick to serve, the place is always full no matter what time you go but i've never waited more than five minutes for a table. I recomend this restaurant every one....

The price is definately affordable. Service has improved a lot from when I first started going there. MUST TRY beef with rice noodles.

Went there at about 3 am and loved everything about it. I'm pretty skeptical about buying chinese for places im not familiar with but the friend I was with recommended it and I loved the food so much everything was amazing. Definitley going there again.

The freshest food, and plenty of it. Great bang for the buck. Service is sweet... and helpful for those needing help (ie non-Chinese) with the two very long menus. We now just describe what we're craving and they point us to something great all the time. We don't do anything deep fried... BBQ'd duck is wonderful...veggies and white tofu always fresh...congees are lovely... try the tofu stuffed with scallops and bean sauce or the fish and leeks.
If you wander in alone, they'll seat you at big round communal tables if you're comfortable with it... It's a regular place for us now.
