China Gate Restaurant

Don’t ever ask for extra they charge you and don’t give it to you order from somewhere else

The customer service is horrible. When they mess up the order, they want to charge you a 2^nd time to correct their mistake. Had to call my credit card company for a refund. Plus the food is only mediocor and they keep raising the prices. They have been on dirty dinning before too. I would have left zero stars if that was an option.

I’m surprised to see the reviews on here because this is my favorite Chinese spot in the area. They’re always quick, and the food is great. Their fried chicken is great if you’re a picky eater. The rice is always good. If I’m in the mood for something else I get the beef n broccoli lo mein combo which comes with your choice of rice the lo mien and the beef. It’s so filling and delicious. My boyfriend is a picky eater but he loves the orange chicken but recently tried the sesame chicken and has a new favorite. They even serve tostones (fried plantains) now like the ny spots, which is a great deal because the serve like 20 for $ 3 or so. The only reason I wouldn’t give it a 5 star is because although they have seating area I probably wouldn’t eat there the atmosphere is like your typical Chinese spot nothing enticing. I would also not recommend getting food right before closing just way to greasy (more then usual). I’ve had family and friends come visit and say it taste almost as good as ny Chinese food.

Not bad compared to other Chinese food options in the area. Chicken lo mein was a large portion and good. Not sure about the sesame chicken because my boyfriend is heating it up after work. It smells good though. Also a nice sized portion. The search continues for that place like up north.

There are plenty of Chinese restaurants in the area and this is not one of the better ones. When a restaurant serves you fried rice that is dry, and you can taste the oil used, it’s never a good thing. I ordered with it General Tso’s chicken which was heavy on the sauce, but edible (hence the two star rating) but the soup was awful. It came with wonton soup and one of the wontons had rancid pork in it so bad I had to spit it out. The other tasted fine. This leads me to beleive they had an old batch they were trying to get rid of, but I was the unlucky person to get the old wonton… Overall my lunch was subpar. It’s dissapointing because I live close and would have given them good buisness if the food warranted it. For now I will not return.

We have eaten here a few times and actually enjoy the food. Sweet and sour chicken is well cooked and decent size. Sauce is good… Beef and broccoli is well seasoned to our tastes and the chicken lo mein is a staple food on our orders.
However, the service leaves much to be desired. Often, the person answering the phone speaks unintelligibly and quiet. The parents (owners) are notoriously hard to understand; my spouse refuses to call ahead. In person, the people who work here could use some customer service training.
My tip: don’t use the online ordering. Just call them; our first attempt was forgotten and we had to wait for the food to be made as we stood there. Not cool.

Ordered delivery at 8pm they called me at 845 and said «our driver went home so you need to come pick up your food». Thanks for nothing.

Food is cheap pre-​packaged generic food and the restaurant staff visibly don’t respect or care about what they put out the door. Numerous times I’ve totalled up our order and found it much less than what we were rung up ($ 5.25 + $ 5.25 does not equal $ 14.50 even WITH tax). They’re the closest chinese place so I gave them a few shots and the final straw came with the last order.
I placed my order by phone and they quoted me a price of $ 16. Whatever, was cheap chinese and that was for 2 people. They said food would be ready in 15. Fine. We waited. 40 minutes went by and we called the restaurant, asking where our food could be. They said the driver was on her way. The place is 5 minutes away from our business. 10 minutes later, I called back to tell them our lunch break was almost up and we still hadn’t gotten our lunch. The guy on the phone yelled in whatever language he speaks in then said in english «She is on her way.»
Our food finally got there, 50 minutes after ordering it. Considering she took 50 minutes to get our food 5 minutes down the road, I wasn’t going to tip her. I gave her a $ 20 and she claimed she did not have change. I said fine and handed her a credit card and she started to write down my number with paper and pen. Not being in the mood to have my credit card defrauded, I gave her the $ 20 and am blacklisting this restaurant.

Though it’s not much the food there is really good and the inside of where they cook it’s really clean. I saw the back like the other review said and I was like what does that have to do with the restaurant. As long as the inside is clean then it’s good plus the food is good. The people there are also kind and may give u extra sometimes. So I’m a regular

I would strongly urge anyone who contemplates eating here to first drive behind the facility, and inspect the back of this establishment.
