    Piping hot chow mein
    Louis E.

    Drove out of my way to get to this place bc I saw #latryguy rave about it on tik tok, and he was right. I paid $36 and got about 5 pounds of very tasty food. All entrees were piping hot as well. We had fried rice, chow mein, and beef and broccoli. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and crisp the broccoli was. My kid lost his mind over the chow mein, he said that it was MUCH better then panda, and my kid freaking loves panda. Loads of great food for a great price. Staff is super friendly too.

    Inside was packed but got to the counter pretty fast order itself Came out fast hot and fresh!!!!

    Shrimp fried rice

    China Gate is hands down the best Chinese food in the city--argue with your momma if you disagree! I've been eating here since I was a kid, and it never disappoints. The service is always remarkable, and the food consistently hits the spot. Everything is freshly made to order--this isn't your typical Chinese spot with food sitting on a hot table all day. They really do this! Today, I ordered the shrimp fried rice and veggie egg rolls. The shrimp fried rice was fresh, hot, and packed with shrimp--easily a solid 9/10. But the veggie egg rolls? Let me tell you, they're the best I've ever had! Perfectly crispy, hand-rolled, and bursting with flavor. A flawless 10/10. The ambiance is what you'd expect from a classic grab-and-go Chinese food spot--simple, no frills, just great food. Every time I'm back home, this is my go-to spot. If you haven't been, you're missing out!

    Mongolian beef, fried rice and an egg roll!
    Edwin M.

    China Gate The Mongolian beef was fresh, hot, and straight out of the wok -- full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The fried rice was tasty and well-seasoned, and that crispy chip (not sure what it's made of) was delicious! I just wish they gave me more than one, but honestly, it's justified for the $11.14 lunch special. Great value, great flavor, and quick service -- I'll definitely be back.

    This is one of those hood spots that's been here forever the locals love it. I love the egg the rest is just regular better than most Chinese fast food

    I had compile Chicken, fried rice, vegetable egg roll, and combination egg roll. Very Delicious food.
    Elaine M.

    I really enjoyed the egg rolls there. They have a combo egg roll with three types of meat, chicken, beef, and shrimp. It is out of this world. I also tried their compound chicken. Very delicious. I plan to go back and try the combination rice that seems to be a favor there a couple of people ordering it on next trip I will try to combination rice. Also, they cook everything Fresh that I loved and I only had to wait maybe 20 minutes for my order on the day that I went so it is was well worth the wait. Their prices are very low and they give you a lot of food. Their cashiers are very kind and very helpful with the menu the ambience it was fair.

    This place is an institution. After I wrote that sentence, I felt like I was trite. And like I said…read moresomething but not really. Like, one time I was watching Project Runway, a season finale episode, where the designers make their own creations, and do not have to make their ensembles from shredded newspaper or bird seeds or pinata remnants. And after a so-and-so of the fashion industry said, "I wanted to go and rip that jacket off the model." This other time, I saw a poster for a coming musical and it said, "stop everything you are doing, and go this musical now" says this important person in the theathre world. What am I am trying to say is that the comment I wanted to do this immediately or drop everything and do this immediately is so overwrought and widely used that it lost all meaning. Kind of like calling this place an institution. So I will call this place what I should to not be drown in my own trite. One time I went to this place and I went cause I was invited to a birthday party. And it was a large group of people. Me and a friend debated if Penny, from the Big Bang, had eaten at this place. She was also in Charmed--- it is a household name, I can't remember it. So this place is famous enough to be a go to move, and it has many pictures of celebrities that have gone there. The food is also super good, so this place, like I said is an insititution. When I went there a second time, I was more aware of the place I was visiting and kind of was ready to receive its Chinese fare with an unhinged jaw. I was dining with a friend, the same friend that I had the is that Penny from Big Bang debate? It was not. She eventually one. But like she and I ate here again, without knowing we were going to the same place. I would say its a small world but.... She and I ate with gusto. It does not take a lot to know that the speciality of the house is their slippery shrimp. They also have slippery chicken and slippery tofu. Super good, sweet, sour but it was not sweet and sour sauce shrimp, it had differences. I am not sure what. There were some heat notes but not like terrible heat. So I am not exactly sure what this place does to make their slippery sauce but let us just that it was delicious and different than other Chinese food sauces. Ronnie and I had the works. Rice, Beef with Brocoli, Pan fried dumplings, and dumpings. It was the type of Chinese food that was so good a coke was needed to balance the decadent saltiness of the fare. Yeah, that might not make sense but I wrote what I wrote. We had eniugh food to share between the two of us. It was that type of meal, where leftovers were welcomed and made sense. They were not left over, they were left untouched because it would be a shame to not enjoy them later. The service was great. The place felt traditional, and like it took you to an alley in China to eat a grandmother's food who knows how to use a Wok and pinch dumplings so they stay close for good. I saw this bad review that skewered this place. And I am like wow! How can we be so different. Not like Ying and Yang Different, more like flutter and flatten. But taste is subjective, so decide for yourself if this place is a peacock worthy of its feathers or a tiger with its claws clipped.

    Visited again this past weekend. Food was as delicious as I remember. Although, last time I came we…read morewere offered complimentary hot tea but this time we were not. We ordered the combination fried rice, Mongolian beef, slippery shrimp, beef lo mein, mixed veggies and Szechuan chicken. Everything was delicious and super flavorful! It took a while for our server to attend to us once we were seated (we waited about 10min before we asked to have our order taken) but after that the servers were very attentive. The place is busy. Quick turn around. One bathroom for the entire restaurant so expect a line. I saw a sign out front for valet parking but I didn't see anyone. But there's plenty of parking places nearby. Found a place down the street for $8 all day parking.

It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

The braised pork belly was so incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and paired with the pickled carrots and cucumbers tucked into that steamed bao bun - so juicy. We also got the scallion pancakes which were crispy, chewy, and came with a soy ginger dipping sauce. The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert. I had to order the deep fried bao bun with ice cream scoop inside and it was delicious. Absolutely worth saving room for if you're looking to end your meal off with a sweet treat!
