We generally have positive experiences with China Gate, but after nearly eating a bug that had been cooked into my vegetables, we will never be returning. No telling what else is crawling in kitchen. read more

China Gate - Bug found in Kung PAO - Chinese Near Me - South Euclid, Ohio

I love this place. First I'll say I eat very basic. I usually get a couple spring rolls, broccoli fried rice no egg, and maybe veggie lo mien. Which is always perfect! The women who works the front is always nice and remembers your order which is sweet. The duck sauce is like no other!! As a duck sauce extraordinary this means a lot. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Best American Chinese food! Same food I remember eating as a child at their much larger restaurant before the plaza was rebuilt. Best egg rolls and fried rice! They have the old school super fresh sweet sauce to go with it. I could name dish after dish and list the entire menu. We drive all the way from northern Summit county to pick up food. Glad they are still here serving childhood memories through their comfort food. read more

I got the spicy fried rice and it is very good! The shrimp are deveined which is amazing! Perfect amount of heat in my opinion. And the portion size for a medium can feed 2-3 people! Will definitely come back for lunch when I'm craving Chinese. read more

China Gate - Spicy fried rice (medium) - Chinese Near Me - South Euclid, Ohio

The best Chinese food on the east side. Tonight we had an egg roll which was large and awesome. Wonton soup which was OK shrimp fried rice which was outstanding not greasy and not over salted and curry beef which had great flavor. Highly recommended. Carry out only. read more

I've been eating at China Gate for 20 years (since well before the Cedar Center renovation). I really miss the beautiful etched glass decor and being able to eat in (as opposed to take out only), but rest assured the food is the same wonderful stuff you remember from before. Still the best hot & sour soup and mu shu pork in town, IMHO. Props to the owners for being able to roll with such a huge transition as Cedar Center underwent! read more

This hole-in-the-wall American-Chinese carry-out joint has three things going for it. 1. Large portion sizes. I'm a big eater and I've never finished one of their entrees in one sitting. 2. Good, fresh ingredients. Meat is not over-breaded. Vegetables seem fresh. Very good eggs rolls --- I assume they are made from scratch at that location. 3. Fast, no-nonsense service. On the downside, the flavor of their dishes probably won't wow you. At best they could be said to "lack complexity" (e.g., their orange and General Tso's is just the typical sugary sauce you'd expect from any Chinese carry-out). At worst they could be described as bland (e.g., the cashew chicken, kung pao chicken, black bean chicken, and especially the sesame chicken leave a lot to be desired, in my opinion). Taken together, if you're looking for a lot of American-Chinese food but without intricate flavors, China Gate is about as good as it gets. If you want more emphasis on flavor and authenticity, check out Richie Chan's on Lee Road. read more

The best egg rolls you'll ever have! Big and crunchy. The Sesame chicken is great and all of the fried rice options overflow the container with meat. read more

China Gate - General Tso Chicken with an egg roll & pork fried rice lunch special - Chinese Near Me - South Euclid, Ohio

It's our go to place for quick Chinese food. Still locally owned, quick, easy, and pretty good.

Picked up my sweet & sour pork to get home and find no sauce!!! Not great - dry pork. Also they use MSG even in egg rolls !!! read more

First of all, the Heights area is in desperate need of a good Chinese restaurant. China Gate could be one of, if not the best, options out there. We've ordered from China Gate once before, and since Happy Buddha is closed for the month of July, I decided to try them again. I am glad I did. My daughter ordered the sesame chicken, and I specified white meat. Their sauce is clear instead of the typical brown, but very tasty. The chicken was quality white meat, and not overly breaded. I ordered Szechuan fried rice (w/chicken and shrimp). While it was not very spicy, the quantity was ridiculous. In fact, that goes for both dishes, as we had a significant amount of leftovers for the next day. The egg rolls were also very good. I am looking forward to ordering from China Gate again so I can try some other menu items, and get a better feel for what they have to offer. So far, so good... read more

One of the best Chinese Restaurants around. I usually have the General Tso Chicken which is always spicy and good. The portion sizes are huge so you won't go hungry. read more

I work, but don't live in the area, so I don't know which Chinese take out place can be trusted. China Gate can be trusted. I'd tried two other places in the area, and began to count my lucky stars for the places in my area. The other places were cheap, but awful. China Gate is reasonably priced and the food was on par with my expectation of Chinese take out. I got the Chicken Lo Mein lunch combo. It was a good portion, and tasted good. Unless encouraged to go elsewhere, I'm going to stick with China Gate for the occasional Chinese for lunch. read more

This was my first trip to China Gate. My wife and I chose this place due to the outstanding ratings and reviews here on Yelp. We live in Mayfield so we have quite a selection of local places but none seem to quite click with both myself and my wife. We figured no better way to know unless we order. We got the app crab Rangoon and 2 combo meals, sweet n sour chix and general Tso. Comes with rice and an egg roll. After getting to taste both I can say... WOW!! Just outstanding!! First off the flavor is unbelievable, the general has some heat to it but not so much to ruin the flavor and the sweet sour sauce is a thing of beauty. The pork fried rice has almost like a Smokey flavor to it that really helps cut some of the sweet from the meals. The egg rolls that come with the combo are as my wife puts it "Exactly like the ones I had as a child" at her parents local place. Everything about the combos were perfect. And the amount that you get is very large too. As far as my wife and I are concerned This will be our new place. I can handle the little extra trip for so much extra flavor. And I wouldn't be happy if I forgot to mention the Rangoon. Out of this world. The sauce in the center is creamy and the crunch on the outside was perfect. Over all I have this 5 stars because clearly they earned it. Way to go! We'll be back for sure! read more

Not the same delicious food as the former owners. Actually very disappointed. End of the China gate era! Wonton soup had no taste. Egg rolls okay but definitely different than before. 2nd time we were shorted on an egg roll. Will not return! read more

I have left Cleveland and I wish I could take China Gate with me. My girlfriend tells me of the old China Gate days and could not be happier that they have reopened. As my mother-in-law says, "the portions are so big, it's really reasonably priced, and their sweet and sour chicken tastes freshly fried." Truer words were never spoken. If you get her seal of approval that really says something. I crave China Gate regularly and cannot wait to go back to the 216 for some takeout. read more

Finally a good chinese restaurant! The good was that the food tasted amazing. The rangoons were soooo good and the I ordered the lunch special of shrimp fried rice and the portion was huge! For 6 bucks for that large portion I will definitely be back, there was alot of shrimp for the price as well. Good bang for your buck. Only flaw was that they charge for extra sauce. I've never had to pay for a extra pack of soy, duck, and hot mustard:( The was seriously a bummer, especially since it's like a staple for me. I tried the vegetable egg roll as well and it was decent, nothing to brag about, but I will for sure be back to try out something else. read more

This is our go to Chinese carry-out. Always consistently good and better than all the other places around. It's Americanized Chinese food so don't expect China Town- thats a whole different level of asian food goodness. read more

Not bad but not the best either. Beware...portions are huge. Their combo plates are a bargain and substitutions are welcome. Just had the chicken lo mein. Plenty for 3 to 4 people. Also a combo plate of pork egg foo young and extra fried rice instead of an eggroll. A quart of wonton soup was very flavorful loaded with huge pieces of pork and packed with wonton and the green leaves ( not sure what the plant leaves are). China gate has been at cedar center since Moses parted the Red Sea. They're now primarily carryout although they do have a couple of tables if you want to eat there, but not ideal. read more

Our go-to Chinese restaurant. It is only a 4 star because it is your typical Chinese pick-up only restaurant. However, their food is always fresh and they have delicious crab Rangoon. Some of the best wonton soup I have had as well. The serving portions or huge, one meal is enough for two people. They don't deliver which is frustrating. read more

Huge portions for the price! Amazing food to feed your Chinese fix and if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, they'll do their best to customize your order to your needs. read more

The 5 stars are specific to service and the BBQ spare ribs alone (the other stuff range from 2-3 stars) - the lady who appears to run the joint happily allowed us to place an order a day before needed (which was day before Mother's Day figuring she may be busy) and to prepay as well - everything was hot & ready to go as promised and on time for pick up - the spare ribs were the best item BY FAR - the chicken chow mein was standard as was the pepper steak the won ton soup and egg rolls and fried rice all edible but far from remarkable - 3 stars for those - the sweet/sour pork was disappointing - a styrofoam of plentiful portion of fried pork balls obviously pre frozen with the red sauce on the side - no veggies or pineapple and pre-sauced which is what we are used to and prefer - 2 stars for those .. would return again for sure but perhaps just for more of those amazing ribs and some rice - we will probably pass on future entree purchases & go to a sit down joint to indulge in those in the future - I gotta say for all of the food we got however the price was more than fair read more

I've had nothing but problems with this place.Tried going for second time after my first experience was not good giving benefits of the doubt.Bad mistake food order messed up again.Lady at counter very very rude.The way she talked to me and other customers is very unprofessional.Over charged both times.I wouldn't want anyone else to have same experience as I had read more

Their portions are unexpectedly huge. I've gotten their sweet and sour chicken combination several times now and it's always the same way. There's enough chicken there for three people! The fried rice portion is average-sized, so I have started ordering an extra pint for the leftover chicken. The chicken itself is also wonderful; large, solid chunks. Their wonton soup is also good. Not the best I've ever had, but it ranks highly against other carryout places I've been to. Their prices are a tad above the average, but for the portion sizes and quality I find it worth the extra cost. read more

In the few months we've lived in the area, China Gate has become our go-to for Chinese takeout. We order from there often enough that the proprietors recognize me on sight. Prices are low, especially for the portion size (we get at least two and up to four meals out of each entree). Your food is ready within 10-20 minutes and always tastes hot and fresh. They enthusiastically oblige if you ask for something to be "extra spicy." It's a hole-in-the-wall and while they do have a few tables and a TV, their website has "to go" in the URL and it's really just a takeout place. Run-down of dishes we've tried: --Their General Tso's is excellent, especially if you ask for extra heat (or if you're my husband, extra extra heat). -- The orange chicken is very good as well-- he says it's definitely better than Panda's. -- Hunan chicken extra spicy is also very good, apparently. --My most frequent order is the egg foo young, but I will warn you it has a lot of bean sprouts so buyer beware if you're not a fan of those. The gravy isn't the best I've had, but the omelet part itself is excellent. -- The special ho fun noodles with beef are great. -- We've really enjoyed the vegetable fried rice. It tastes really fresh and has a lot of variety in it. --We like their crab rangoons (our appetizer of choice the vast majority of the time), steamed dumplings and egg rolls. --You can get a lot of dishes in combo meals that come with pork fried rice and an egg roll, which is a really good deal. (Everything else just comes with white rice.) --I'm not a huge fan of their lo mein, but it's not bad. --The only dish I've haven't liked is the kung pao-- too heavy on the celery for my liking. There's a Panda Express in the same parking lot, but why would you go there when you could buy bigger portions of better food for cheaper from a local family? read more

Pretty good food. My husband calls this place the Cheesecake Factory of Chinese food due to the portion size.

Ordered the beef fried rice and general tso chicken and both were good, no complaints I would order from here again. Something worth noting is that for their chicken fried rice you have to request real chicken, which I think is wrong, they'll use a turkey roll substitute if you order without asking for real chicken read more

Best Chinese food i have ever had always hot and fresh. I love everything thing I get but my favorite is their sesame chicken with house rice and egg roll with the best homemade duck sauce!!!! Amazing read more

This restaurant came highly recommended by Yelp so my girlfriend and I thought we'd give it a try. Suffice to say the stars we have don't accurately describe our experience. While the order was completed quickly for pick up, we opened the packaging and found that quantity doesn't always equal quality. There were absolutely massive portion sizes which for the price we paid was nice to see. Then we tasted it... the sesame chicken tasted like fried chicken pieces with bad duck sauce on them and sesame seeds sprinkled on top. To confirm, I dipped my fork into the duck sauce we were given for the egg rolls and they were exactly the same. Next, The chicken and broccoli was abysmal to say the least. It was quite literally just steamed chicken and veggies, none of the sauce that usually comes with chicken and broccoli. I decided to throw it back in a pan and cook it a different way. Next, the house lo mein was, according to my girlfriend, adequate and went back for more after her first serving. However, when it was reheated the pork and chicken turned to rubber. Finally the egg rolls, they looked great but after the first bite, went down hill immediately. The inside was filled with just veggies, even though the menu indicates meat inside. To their credit, the service was quick and courteous. They also have those massive portions. Just a few tweaks in the recipes and I'd come back. read more

They're the first Chinese restaurant I've ever seen that make homemade ducksauce. Its the best I've ever had. I always order like 3 extra cups and pour it over my rice. The prices are very reasonable and they give you large portions of everything. I live closer to downtown which isn't far but their food makes the trip worth it every time! Great Customer Service, the cashier talks to me every time I come and even sometimes will have my order down packed Now if only I could get that secret recipe so I can make my own ducksauce... read more

We always go to China gate. The food is good with lots of veggies and meat in the egg foo young and fried rice. The portions are large and the egg rolls are scrumptious They have been a staple in this community for more than a decade. I am glad they relocated into the new commercial strip mall in South Euclid. read more

I'd forgotten how much I loved China Gate before it closed as its been gone so long! After seeing how downhill Hunan on Coventry has gone and now Sun Luck is disgusting, I was about to throw in the towel on anything but Amazing Wok style eats unless I was willing to go to Chinatown. I'm so glad China Gate is back! It's not the fanciest of chinese takeout but its GOOD. It also didn't make me sick unlike most other local joints do. If you like just good quality, Americanized Chinese food, this is your place. Thank you China Gate! read more

Super excited that China Gate came back after a several year hiatus. For as long as I can remember, my (Jewish) family would go there for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. We were lost without you China Gate.... But now you are back and we are able to enjoy your delicious, huge portions-always reasonably priced. My mother still occasionally finds your old 10% off coupons in random coat pockets and purses and reminisces about the good times we have had there. I highly recommend this spot if you are in the mood for some good Chinese. read more

I have been looking for truly good Chinese food since I moved to Cleveland nearly 10 years ago. (Nothing has ever been able to compare to what I remember from my childhood in the Boston area.) Somehow I missed the "old" China Gate, but am delighted to have found them now that they've reopened. China Gate offers the best Chinese food in our area hands down. So far I have only tried the egg roll, crab rangoon and house lo mein, but all are delicious. I think I may have to put China Gate on my speed dial! ;-) Thank you for the wonderful food and excellent service! read more

Great Family owned business, the Wongs. We've ordered from their new incarnation many times since the reopening and have never been disappointed. First, the portions are huge, the prices are not. Soups, Won Ton, Hot and Sour and Egg Drop, are really tasty. Won Ton has pork, noodles, greens. Fantastic. For appetizers we've had their tasty egg rolls, pot stickers as well as the ribs. All very good, very enjoyable. Entrees, as stated above, are typically huge. We always have leftovers which are great for the next day. The excellent dishes we've tried to date include: Egg Foo Young (various meats); Sweet and Sour Chicken; Sweet and Sour Pork; Moo Goo Gai pan; Sesame Chicken; Orange Chicken; General Tso's Chicken; Pepper Steak with Onions; Shrimp in Lobster Sauce; and Chicken Subgum Chow Mein. There are many other dishes we are looking forward to trying. While there is a small sit down area available, just a few seats, this is really a take out restaurant. They do get busy so calling in your order ahead of time is recommended. I've never had to wait on pickup, meals are ready as promised in the time promised. This restaurant is owned and run by a wonderful family I think its well worth trying. They never miss for us. read more

Good food and good prices! Clean, efficient and well-run. Lunch specials are an awesome deal, although I do wish they came with an egg roll.

Eh. good, but not great. I liked that they offered complimentary tea and shrimp chips while we waited for our order. The eat-in area wasn't too cozy, I would reccomend take-out. read more

Portions are huge but they get a lot of complaints. The old man working cash register is a total PR*ck. The expo guy bringing out your food is much nicer. Portions huge. Not sure if I'll be back. read more

I grew up going with my family to the old China Gate restaurant in Cedar Center. They had huge portions and reasonable prices, the best egg foo young in town, great egg rolls and huge spareribs. So I was particularly sad when the old Cedar Center was torn down, along with all the memories.Then I had heard that the rebuilt Cedar Center North was going to include China Gate, and my was thrilled to hear they were re-opening. In the years since China Gate closed Asian food in the Cleveland Area grew up and there are now many more restaurants offering many more regional specialties than when China Gate was in its heyday, particularly in the small but growing area downtown known as Asiatown. My heart sank when I then heard it was to be take out only, and upon going for take out the other night it appears my worst fears were confirmed. I ordered a combination plate like I used to do in the old days. Unfortunately I will have to stick with fond memories because the taste, quality, portions and value are all way less than when they were open in their old configuration. I had the general's chicken which is pretty hard to screw up, but they managed. The chunks of chicken were soggy from sickly sweet sauce, and the fried outside coating was falling off when I was transferring from plate to mouth. The portion of pork fried rice was ridiculously tiny. The egg roll was alright but overall the food just didn't taste the same. The won ton soup(extra) was dishwater with those thick, noodle wantons instead of the dumplings I have grown accustomed to. Do yourself a big favor and drive a little but further up Cedar to Green road and stop into Happy Buddha and get some decent take out. Better to live with those old warm memories because if you pick up from China Gate you won't even have those. Sad truth is that this just doesn't cut it anymore. Better take out can easily be found elsewhere. read more

Can't believe this place has good reviews. Trailer park quality. They don't devein shrimp before putting inside egg rolls or fried rice. The sesame chicken had way too much vinegar. The fried rice was, sorry to say, terrible. Never going here again. read more
