ONE OF THE BEST OVERALL ASIAN RESTAURANTS!. I have been to many Asian restaurants in the valley, some big, some small. Gourmet Wok on Baseline & Hardy is one of the best. Hands down. First thing, it's CHEAP. $4 lunch combos with fried rice and some crab puffs, and it's more food than just about any other take out combo I have seen. You can also get a pint of egg drop for a buck. A lot of reviews, like for Quick Wok say you get A LOT of food, but I usually don't see that. At the GW I think you really do, usually enough for two sittings.

I've tried almost all the lunch combos and they are all great. I think the quality rivals any large restaurant. They don't have a fancy store with fancy containers, just good food. It also seems like a genuine small family restaurant. Nice old Asian people who don't speak great English always, and some old Asian dude in the back cooking. :] And the food is always made right then and hot as sh*t. Not spicy, but burn though your hand hot.

I used to think Golden Canyon by MCC or YC's was the best, but since moving to Tempe years ago, I think it's a tough choice. Although YC's is kinda in another category. A little more expensive and not really takeout. BTW, YC's is also very AWESOME.

Every time I try another place, I wish I would have gone to Gourmet Wok. Like, today I went to Quick Wok on Mill & Southern, not again. Don't get me wrong, the food was great, but less of it and $2 more.

Check it out. Buy the way this is my first review. I just didn't any other reviews for such a great place.
