Gourmet No. 1 - Pakenham

Went to dinner with friends and family, and had a great night at John's restaurant. Food was excellent and the service was fantastic. John the NEW owner treated us like kings. Will definitely be going back. P.McConachy

Myself and my partner went to gourmet no 1 last week and The dumplings were amazing and awesome service !! After the new management the food is just delicious and very fresh! Would defiantly recommend!!! Also the manager John takes great pride within his business and made sure our food was as we liked it and if not was happy to change ! Love love it

We were really pleasantly surprised by our meal at Gourmet no. 1. Sadly, there aren't a lot of great places to eat on Pakenham's main street and we weren't expecting much from this place. However, as far as suburban Cantonese restaurants go this was one of the best we've been to. We wanted to reminisce of our youth eating Chinese so we got honey chicken and Sichuan beef. Both delicious. The honey chicken was really crispy and not too sweet. The Sichuan beef was tender and vegetables crispy with a nice sauce. We also got homemade dim sims which had a good delicate wrap on them. The decor is a little dated, however the food and the service makes up for this.

Best Chinese Pakenham. As far as Chinese food in Pakenham, this one is the best. We regularly go here on a Sunday night for dinner, quiet, quick, efficient and accommodating. Obviously lacks in environment in decor and atmosphere, but regardless of that, it is very nice.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!! Ordered through Uber eats, waited an hour and a half, tried calling the store 10 times no answer. Cancelled the order and was charged $25.00 for cancellation. Uber said there’s nothing they can do. They’re literally stealing peoples money. Disgusting. Service: Delivery Meal type: Other Price per person: A$20–40
