I was so excited to finally have China Gate back in the neighborhood. My family has been going there for years. They were super busy but we didn't have to wait too long and as usual the portions were huge, the price's were still cheap and the food was still the best around. read more

Pretty tasty stuff. We ordered a large vegetable fried rice, large general chicken, and a large beef and broccoli. We also indulged in a few vegetable egg rolls. Everything was made hot and fresh (that's a plus). Only complaint would be the small amount of beef to the ample amount of broccoli. Total order was around $30. This was take-out so I'm unsure of the dine-in experience. read more

My favorite thus far Chinese restaurant . Very friendly especially Peter . Served fresh and best egg rolls with house made duck sauce . Best hot oils as well to compliment your food with a kick . And very reasonable priced read more

Went here because our friend recommended it and of the good Yelp reviews...I'm not sure why it's rated so high. We ordered take-out: chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and sesame chicken. The food is not good. We opened the boxes at home and the sweet and sour chicken was EXACTLY the same as the sesame chicken, except you pour a different sauce on it. And the sweet and sour sauce that ended up being a congealed sweet sauce. I've had better sauce from a JAR. The chicken itself is poor quality and overly fried. Yeah, it's cheap for a lot of food, but we didn't eat it. Had a serving and ended up tossing it. I'd literally rather eat at Panda Express. read more

Ok. So I decided to try this place one last time. My first two visits the food was terrible. That was not long after they reopened. After reading a few good reviews I decided to try them again. I was pleasantly surprised. They're not yet back to where they used to be with their food but it wasn't bad. I had the pork egg foo young lunch portion. The rice was fresh and the egg foo young was good, not great but good. The egg roll was just ok. I'm glad that I decided to give them another try. Let's hope they keep improving. read more

China Gate has always had delicious food, generous proportions that were a real value. The new owners (they say they're nieces but I donno) have managed to turn decades of success into dust. In just 2 orders: they managed to get the order completely mixed up. (I don't remember that ever happening before) and since it's a to go place, I was sent home with an un-recognizeable order of...? Each time they miscalculated the total generously in their favor. Ok. So new owners, mistakes can happen....but then a half hour ago when I decided to forgive and try one more time, it became clear that it wasn't going to get better. Never ever being over charged by the previous owners, the price this time was insulting. They argued that was the price until someone emerged from the back and corrected their mistake. Only problem was they somehow made for me fried rice with beef (yuck) which was much different than Beef with broccoli i ordered. No apologies, just arguing ( with me as well as the unfortunate person ahead of me. Mistakes happen however 3 x and I'm done. So sad. read more

Great quality take out. Everything was very fresh. Had sweet and sour chicken, chicken fried rice and general Tso chicken. Also egg rolls are amazing! Will come back again. read more

Excellent orange chicken and fried rice. When they say white meat chicken they mean it, no mystery meat here, it's extremely tasty! Loved it! read more

Apparently their idea of Sesame chicken is chicken covered in corn syrup with a few sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Not a fan at all.

Great food quick. Huge portions. Called our order in, I was 5 minutes early and it was ready to go. Quick and easy. I understand new owners took over in January of 2018. Seamless transition from my point of view, if anything has changed, the portions are larger and the food is delicious as always. Hold the straw. read more

I am so glad that China Gate reopen I was so sad when they closed they are by far the best Chinese food money can by. Please keep up the good service and good quality of food that you are known for. read more

I grew up with this place. Was so excited to see them back. Been there 3 times .... All times were nasty. Chicken is processed and Frozen. Beef is chewy. THIS IS NOT THE CHINA GATE I REMEMBER read more

The General Tso Chicken was the best I've ever had; plump and well-cooked all chicken breast, lightly battered with green pepper slices, although not enough vegetables in a mildly spicy sauce. The Chicken Egg Foo Young was just as good--fresh and not overcooked where many restaurants tend to scorch the bottom of the cakes. Fried rice was nothing special but enjoyable as well. Fresh and tasty egg roll was included in the combo deal. The portions of everything were huge and really double the size compared to others. None of this food was sitting under a heat lamp waiting to be served. Prices were fair especially for the large portions; definitely will have plenty for left-overs. I've been to many Chinese-American restaurants over the years, and must say that China Gate is probably the best in the Cleveland area and beyond. read more

You've tried the rest, now have THE best! Anyone who has any taste knows that they will have the best meal ever here. I have been visiting China Gate since childhood and the food today was as amazing as I remember it. Huge portions and a great value. The won ton soup is the best I've ever had. Delicious egg rolls, fried rice and fresh shrimp chips I can't stop eating. I fly in from Miami for this feast! You won't go wrong at China Gate!! read more

I love this place they are a little pricey but they give you a lot of food and it's really good I would recommend this place to anyone

The food was really good but the service kinda sucked. I ordered by food ahead of time for pick up and when I went in the insisted that I never placed an order. I had to sit there for an additional 15-minutes cause they couldn't find it (or they forgot it and made it really quick). But it was worth the wait. read more

No doubt, the best Chinese take-out in the area. The food was tasty, hot, and with quality ingredients. I've lived in several states and the take-out here was as good as I've had. Won-ton soup was very tasty; moo-shu was excellent as well. read more

Tasted good but they put msg in everything! Even the soup which they say they cannot make without it. Very disappointed because it's close to where I live. read more

Food is pretty good. The only thing I don't like is that they do not have small sizes of any of the dishes. So for two or forces you to spend 25+ $$$. Not quite common for a "fast food" Chinese spot. I'd expect to spend that much at a fine dining Chinese restaurant. But this isn't a restaurant. Other than that the food is good. Expect to have left overs! read more

"Authentic" American Chinese food. It's a take-out joint and not really a restaurant. Good thing is the price is reasonable for the amount of food. Not many choices in the area and so beggars can't be choosers. read more

I ordered the hot & sour soup, vegetable fried rice, hunan shrimp and sweet and sour chicken. All are very good, MASSIVE PORTIONS. Very reasonable prices. Will for sure be ordering from here again. read more

Substandard strip mall American Chinese. I have tried take out here twice (different days of the week, separated by about 4 months). Due to the positive reviews I gave this place a second chance. I can say that my first impression was correct. The food is very oily and has none of the wok flavor I expect from Chinese food. the proteins lacked any coloring and were not velveted. It tasted as if it were simmered in sauce. The food was packed in very cheep styrofoam containers; and the food was literally sitting in about 1 cup of sauce. They wrap the containers with plastic to prevent spilling (which is not sufficient to avoid puddles in the bottom of the bag). The sauces were watery, flavorless, and very thin. I suspect a large amount of msg in these foods. Product quality was low. Overall nearly inedible. Below are specific dish notes. Crab Rangoon- best of the worst. Pretty standard mass produced crab Rangoon. Moderate amount of filling, primarily tasting of cream cheese. Served with a thin Apple like dipping sauce. Lo mein- noodles very over cooked, minimal veg. Bland tasting. Highly salty/msg flavored Kung pao chicken - primarily celery, minimal chicken. Bland, no heat. Generic brown watery sauce. Only thing reminiscent of Kung pao was the peanuts Mongolian beef - again disappointing thin generic brown sauce. Tons of undercooked and thickly cut onion. No spice. In order to salvage this I attempted to strain the sauce out and sauté. Topped with Siracha. This was still not enough to to significantly improve it. I do not understand why there are usually people waiting for food there. The one plus, large amount of food per price. read more

Great food for very reasonable prices especially the lomein! Very generous portions!!

Simply the best Chinese food I have ever eaten! A family-owned business that offers amazing carry-out food. We enjoyed the fresh egg rolls, potstickers, seafood and noodles, ribs, chicken and pork fried rice, beef skewers, and the General Tso chicken. The owners are incredibly friendly and I will definitely be going back for more carry-out orders whenever I am in town. I highly recommend China Gate! read more

We've eaten here quite a few times now and we are so happy with our neighborhood Chinese Restaurant. The store is very clean and the food is made fresh with fresh ingredients. We highly recommend. read more

Seriously the best Chinese food in a 15 mile radius. The best Chinese food hands down. So authentic compared to majority of Chinese places nowadays. Their wonton soup and f wind rice actually has a large amount of meat in it. Potions are huge and overall the food is amazing. Best authentic Chinese food in the area no doubt about it. My mom is 60 and can't believe how authentic this place is, she compares it to her childhood Chinese places she would go to. COME HERE SO AMAZING!!! You will not be disappointed. read more

It's nice family owned take-out place. The food was good, what you would expect. My only gripe is that they close too early. read more

Really glad they returned and reopened. My family and I frequented this restaurant dating back to the 80s until it was torn-down with the rest of Cedar Center around 2007 (sad time) . It was great then and is just as great now! (minus the ability to dine in like before for they are now mainly a take out restaurant minus the 2 small tables) . My favorites have always been the Beef and Broccoli , Sweet and Sour chicken and the Veggie Egg Rolls. A hint to those that don't know, they will gladly let you substitute the white rice that comes with some dishes for a pint of fried rice for an extra $2 to me its worth it since they really pack it in like all the dishes. The food doesn't even fit in the cartons, they tie plastic bags over the cartons and put rubber bands around the boxes because they overflow. You will be happy with the portions if you have a huge appetite like myself or like to have food left over for the next day. (Damn I'm fiending again from writing this have to go again this week.;) read more

Good food, happy employees. Got the chicken Lo mein, was a little dry but had potential. Humongous portions. Would go again!

Favorite Chinese takeout place in Cleveland Heights. No frills, basic Americanized Chinese dishes. Don't go in expecting an authentic meal and you'll be fine. We always get the Family Dinners for 2 people. It's enough food for 5-6 meals for $30. The "Beef and Broccoli" and "General's Chicken" are our usual choices. When I'm craving Chinese takeout, this is where I go. read more

Can I give this place zero stars. The food was bad. Not good. So bad we threw it out. We had soup and two other dishes. The eggs rolls were edible but greasy. Sweat and sour soup was disappointing. Two chicken dishes we has were over cooked and not well spiced or composed. Rice was very very dry. read more

The shrimp egg foo young had a weird smell - I couldn't eat it. Our tofu and brocolli dish was flat and so so...swimming in some glop. The veggie fried rice was excellent though. read more

This is the best chinese takeout in the neighborhood. I used to go here as a teen before they tore down the old cedar center, I was so excited when it came back. I still remember the owner from back then. Good food. Nice people. read more

Best Chinese takeout I've found in the area since I moved here a year ago. The chicken is real white meat chicken, not processed mystery chicken you so often get in Chinese takeout around here. Quick friendly service. read more

Best wonton soup I've had in a while. Not too salty. Only one small rice for two large entrees was disappointing but quality was very good, next time I'll just ask for more steamed rice. We ordered beef and broccoli and war sue gai. read more

Probably the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I don't know what they are trying to pass off as sesame chicken. It was extremely dry with horrible flavor. Also when you bite into an egg roll the last thing you expect to see or taste is shrimp. Good thing I am not allergic to shellfish. This place is god awful and will never get another dime out of me. read more

I was disappointed from my last visit to China Gate restaurant. Let me state that this latest version of CG nowhere compares with the original CG sit down restaurant at Cedar Center plaza. Tonight I ordered their famous wonton soup and egg rolls. Maybe the woks were on the slow side tonight, because both items were kinda Meh. :/ read more

We really like China gate. It's your typical Chinese take out food. I haven't tried anything out of the ordinary but everything I have had has been great! read more

The BEST Chinese food in the area. They've custom made dishes for me in the past if I wasn't feeling something on the menu. Portions are HUGE and ingredients super fresh!! read more

The food is great and I've never had a bad experience until today. The manager of the store was disrespectful and had terrible customer service. He spoke over me and ended up yelling at me. He even threw my cash at me when I asked for a refund. I refuse to eat at a place where I'm treated unfairly. I never raised my voice at this man once. I was kind and calm even when they got my order wrong. I kindly asked for what I wanted and he laughed at me. I have never been treated this way in my life. I'm a manager myself and I would never treat anyone that way. Before I knew he was the manager, I called to speak with the manager to complain. Again, he didn't let me speak. He told me that I was terrible and to never come back and hung up on me. Keep in my mind I was not yelling. I am appalled at the way I was treated and he should not be working, and he most certainly should not be managing a store. Any other time I would put in my order with no issue and the rest of the staff would be so sweet. I've heard negative things about the manager from friends but this was my first time dealing with him. This is my first time writing a review and I will never go back. read more
