Gourmet No. 1 - Pakenham

We ordered a bunch of starters since neither of us were really in the mood for main courses. I did notice that the main dishes being served were huge! Overall, the experience was great despite the unappealing environment. If the food and service are good, I can overlook the surroundings. I'll definitely be back!

One of the most delicious Chinese meals I've ever experienced! I've spent years trying various restaurants, and the Peking duck here was simply flawless. I will definitely return!

I ordered takeout tonight for the first time in a while, as I've had difficulty finding a good Chinese restaurant in this area. My expectations were low. We decided on chicken with cashews, roast pork with vegetables, and beef with oyster sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by the freshness of the ingredients; you could really distinguish the individual meats and vegetables in each dish, and they didn’t taste like they came straight from a can, unlike other places I’ve tried nearby. While I found the flavors to be a bit mild for my taste, overall, I had a lovely meal.

Went to dinner with friends and family, and had a great night at John's restaurant. Food was excellent and the service was fantastic. John the NEW owner treated us like kings. Will definitely be going back. P.McConachy
