"My husband and I really like the food from China Gourmet however the attitude of the staff can be unacceptable. My husband just went in to pick up a take out order. He waited at the counter for a while and no one appeared. He asked the sushi chef if he could help and he responded curtly he couldn't he was too busy doing his own job. We both understand the stress and pressure that restaurant workers have been dealing with but the response could just have easily been that he will try to get someone to help as soon as he had a minute. We have had poor service in the restaurant when we have eaten in in the past. The staff at the front have been busy but never rude like the staff in the restaura...

We have ordered sushi set and put 3 notes that I have allergy to avocado. And guess what? A lot of avocado. It's an allergy friendly place! Shame on you, highly not recommended.

If you want to be served overly greasy, bland Chinese food and DIRTY WATER then go to China Gourmet. We just went here for the first time. The waitress sat on her phone most of the time with us and one other table at 8:00pm on a Friday night. That should have given us a red flag right away. We left all of our food behind(which was a lot). We asked for a refill of water and when we both my husband and I took a sip we both spit it out. It was so dirty and gross. After looking at the glass you could see how DISGUSTING it was!! How can you serve this to people!? This place was way overpriced! Save your money and go somewhere else. GROSS!

One could point out a plethora of minor issues, but I'll address the 2 biggest problems. First and foremost, the service at the bar is horrible. No mixed drink skills combined with ignoring patrons who aren't one of the regulars is bad enough. They can't seem to keep premium liquor is stock (my 3rd visit in last 3 weeks with no Bombay Sapphire gin) and the bartender assumed (wrongly) I would be fine with a different gin in my martini without asking me. Then the olives are **** (pits not removed). Second is the food. Nice presentation, but always along wait, and everything is bland. Even the menu items listed as hot are not the least bit spicy. Save your money.

"Last night I tried Bourbons in Framingham for the first time. I saw some pics of their appetizers and wanted to give it a shot. I'm glad I did! We went at the peek of their dinner rush so we knew there would be a wait. We were greeted by Luke and Brooke who took our names and suggested we get some drinks at the bar while we waited. The drinks came fast and were all delicious and priced fairly. I liked the decor of the place and they had tvs with the game on. We were sat faster than they said we would be which is always a plus. Our waitress Carley was so friendly and nice. She was well schooled on the menu and made a couple of suggestions that we tried. Seats were comfortable and the conversation was great. We ordered the nachos, Buffalo cauliflower, poppers, sliders, and rangoons. I was going all out on my first time and wanted to try the things I saw online. Every app was cooked perfectly and again, fairly priced. I'd say my favorite was the sliders. So unique! They came out in a tortilla and were stuffed with meet and a delicious sauce. The rangoons were absolutely amazing. Stuffed with onions, cream cheese, and chives with a homemade duck sauce. They didn't last long. The nachos were covered in veggie and topped with Mexican street corn. The poppers were stuffed with peppers and a nice sauce that tasted amazing. The buffalo cauliflower had a little kick and was even still crunchy. I also got an order of short rib tacos. They were amazing! Just a nice little kick of spice. For dessert we got the caramel bread pudding and split it! I can't wait to go back and try some of the other foods we missed. It's also important to know that we had a vegetarian with us and they had so many choice for her as well. I'm not a vegetarian but enjoyed everything we got that didn't have meat in it. Plenty of parking, a nice staff, clean, and affordable! What's not to make you want to go back! I'm glad we went! You should too!"
