Gourmet Garden Danvers

"I love Pad Thai, I usually frequent a few different places locally for it. After all these years I have never once had Pad Thai with onions, green and red peppers. My wife brought it home for me from Gourmet Garden in Danvers and it was disgusting to say the least. I appreciate my wife surprising me, but I was unhappy that for the money it wasn’t worth it. Also the shrimp was dry and the piece of lime that was on top looked like it was at least a week or more old!!! There was no flavor to this disaster at all, tasted more like dish water. They need to go back to cooking school and pay attention on how to make this dish. Totally disgusting."

"They offer combo plates, however you can't order them if you are eating inside. You can only order them if you're doing takeout. ??? What? They will happily sell those meals, but only if you don't eat them there. During Covid, they ditched the buffet, and never brought it back. Instead, there are large boxes piled up around the buffet, like it's a junk pile in the middle of the restaurant. I will not be back. The place used to be so good."

"We had a late lunch here yesterday. The food was ok. We were very impressed by the menu; both the layout and the different dishes offered. They apparently had a buffet at some time in the past; that section of thee restaurant is stuffed full of cardboard boxes and not very attractive. Service was attentive, prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were good. The food itself while in no way objectionable needs work and they need to get rid of the mess and buffet table if it's not being used."

"Stopped here on the way to Maine. Everyone seemed to know the server’s name (Tom?) and locals seem to love it. Good American Chinese food, service very good. We got sushi and rice to fish ratio was really good. Tasted fresh etc. Would recommend."

"The food doesn't cost these money. We got small bowls of soup for $6 each. Salad was just lettuce. The waitress hardly speaks English. I don't recommend. It was a waste of money."
