Say H.
The won ton soups was not bad for $5.40 good enough for for lunch ! I came often for the roasted Bbq pork and duck but never try their food here ! The roast items is good I always come here for that , the prices is here is cheap then most Chinese restaurants selling roasted items ! I I recommend you try it ! But doing Chinese holidays date is superb buses

Went to Gum Wah today to try their duck, I was super disappointment with the quality. The duck was dry and flavorless. I was expecting succulent duck meat, I even went in the morning to make sure it's fresh. I would not recommend the duck here, make your way to new gold metal instead.

Can be difficult to order if you don't speak Chinese. I was feeling a little sick and wanted something soupy to go easy on my stomach. Got the #23 wonton noodle soup which did its job.
I liked the texture of the noodles, but the broth and wontons were just ok. Luckily I was in the market for some bland-ish soup so it worked out. Normally I would have doused it was chili sauce or gotten it with roast duck. -

Will return. A very topical Cantonese eatery where old gentlemen bring their birds and chitchat and eat. But I did see a mom with her 6 years old and an older diva in trendy yoga leggings. Free Chinese newspapers are on the tables. I'm lucky to have found a parking spot on the street four cars away from this restaurant. With a nice pedestrian's help I successfully parallel parked, with a hour limit.
Foods are all good. Beef rice noodle with too much meat. Congee is delicious. I saw how they make the thin rice sheet to wrap the fried stick - youtiao and ordered one: the sheet is great but fried stick is kind of hard. Service is affable. When I tried to get hot water for my ever-presence tea bottle and couldn't, she said "oh you don't know" and went on to show me. -

May be an end to an era. Gum Wah is currently closed for upgrade/fixes due to county citations. However, they are also looking for a new buyer for their current business. Though out the years, this place consistently putting out great food. Especially the chef behind the WOK station and his mastery. I love this place and hate to see them go. However, Gum Gou shared similar yet complicated early origin, if ones fancy something from Gum Wah. :)
