Gourmet Kingdom

Have dined in several times and LOVE everything we've tried here. The atmosphere inside is a little odd, but the food more than makes up for it. Prices are awesome for the portions too! Food has always been out incredibly fast.

First time here. Owner was doing everything himself outside the kitchen. Food came in very fast. Not big portion but taste really good.

Gourmet Kingdom, or Gourmet Kholesterol, is one of my favorite Chinese eateries in the RTP area. Specializing in Szechuan cooking, GK contains a wide variety of authentic dishes - ranging from different proteins and vegetables. Here are some recommendations; Spicy 🌶 Szechuan Spicy Fish, Pecan Shrimp 🍤 , Twice Cooked Pork 👌🏼, Stringed Beans, Garlic Eggplant 🍆, and Mapo Tofu are all great dishes.
However, I strayed from the typical pathing and got a soup this time. I tried two: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and the Seafood Rice Noodle Soup. Both provide excellent portion sized. The spicy one definitely has some spice and heat to it. The seafood one is a little bland for my liking but definitely just for some chili 🌶 oil and douse that ish in like no tomorrow. It’s pretty good. But definitely try that beef noodle soup (comparable or even better, IMO, to Vietnamese Bun Bo Hue). Both are around $8.25 per bowl, definitely bigger servings than any Pho restaurants in the area. Try it 🤤
