    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.

    Combination egg roll

    Pulled this out of my mouth while eating a combination egg roll. It was definitely a piece of metal. At first I thought it was a staple, but it may have been a wire bristle from a grill brush or another piece of kitchen equipment. Either way, it should never have ended up in someone's food.

    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.

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.

Anything you can eat you any night you don't have to cook is usually a great night out. This evening was no exception. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. Positive energy, drinks filled and smile that felt genuine. The ambiance of the restaurant was bar like, but with adequate seating for dining in. 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! Parking is easy with plenty of street parking nearby. Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating - the patio outside is perfect for bigger groups at night, and the inside has its own aesthetic vibe that's equally great.

It's a very small (but super aesthetically cute) spot. There is a tiny parking area (I believe 3 spots) but we found street parking on temple. Menu is small and everything sounded great. (I learned they used to be a food pop up/cart, so makes sense!) You order at the counter and then pick a spot. The dining room inside is small with a handful of tables, but they also had many tables outside on their patio and alongside Reno street. I loved the photos of the family of the creators sprinkles through the dining room. Food was yummy. I had no expectations and I enjoyed it. The wings were nice and crunchy with tender chicken inside. Beef noodles were great, too. My only tiny qualm was staff, tho helpful, all looked very serious and I saw no smiles. It was a weird contrast to the charming spot.

Our server was very friendly and helpful in what we should order, and we felt very well taken care of during our visit. Over the course of the evening, we ordered the peach cocktail, strawberry goat cheese jasmine cocktail, Tommy's margarita, and kumquat apricot cocktail. My favorites were the first two - you could really taste all the components in them, so complex and interesting!! The kumquat apricot was also fun and refreshing for a hot night. The margarita was fine. Full disclosure - I ordered this drink because the ingredients looked really unique and interesting but I don't like Mezcal because it usually overpowers a drink, and that is kind of what happened here (couldn't taste any guava or green tea notes), so take my opinion with a grain of salt. For food, we got the following: Course 1: - Lamb terrine (5/5 great if you like lamb, it is delightfully gamey - in a good way) - Tomato Tartare (3/5 I think I wasn't into the trout roe with this but it was fresh and nice) Course 2: - Pork sausage in crepinette (4/5 fun presentation but this didn't blow me away) - Ragu of wild mushroom with tofu gnudi (5/5 the sauce on this was so good) Course 3: - Fried chicken (5/5 perfectly fried and loved the pickles on the side) - Mapo tofu with sweetbreads (4/5 good but I've had better mapo tofu, not a big lover of organ meats but the sweetbreads were great) Course 4 (best course): - Beef cheek (5/5 so incredibly tender and flavorful) - Spiced lamb saddle (5/5 so many flavors going on and the meat was cooked to perfection) For dessert, we ordered the corn sabayon and the roasted strawberry desserts but they brought us the strawberry and melon desserts instead. We realized we didn't get the corn dessert until we were halfway through eating what we received. We mentioned it to our waiter jokingly but he actually brought us out the other dessert too, which was such lovely service. Honestly, even though we didn't order the melon dessert, it ended up being the sleeper hit because it was served with a an amazing creamy honey mousse underneath the melon shaved ice. It was really something special, and I'd highly recommend it. Overall, I'd recommend this for a nice date night or a splurge dinner with friends. It's not cheap, but the quality was definitely there both in their fare and their service. It was a great exploration of Asian fusion done in a fine dining/tasting menu-style.
