This is a great little Chinese restaurant. This is the kind of restaurant that you go to on a night where you're tired. You're not in the mood an/or you just don't have the energy to cook for yourself, so you go in search of an old friend. That friend is named China Gate. This restaurant has all of the Chinese take-out classics that you're used to seeing, but does them very very well. I tend to order the wonton soup and egg roll most often for a light dinner, but I've also really enjoyed their beef/chicken and broccoli. A lot of times, Chinese take out restaurants feel like they're phoning it in. Not China Gate. The food tastes nice and fresh, and it doesn't feel super heavy like you've made a terrible mistake eating it. Instead it tastes pretty darn fresh and made with quality ingredients. It's a great neighborhood Chinese restaurant, and I hope it sticks around for a long time to come. read more

I've been ordering from this place since it first opened, more than 30 years ago. Sadly, the food quality is nothing like it used to be. I recently ordered two combo meals. The first thing I noticed was the portion size was noticeably smaller than it ever has been, almost by half. The flavor was decent, but not any better than the average Chinese takeout. The egg rolls were actually some of the worst I've had anywhere - the filling was like pureed mush, as if it was put through a food processor. I can't say for certain if this decline started after the original owners sold it and retired or not. With so many other options in the area for Chinese food, China Gate is no longer at the top. read more

I had always enjoyed this place and will continue to get carry-out, but their policy on a single soft drink refill (very small serving!) is ridiculous and completely contrary to local custom. It deters me from using the dining area. For now until this policy changes, it's cash and carry for me. read more

Banger as usual. I just wanted to upload more pictures so here you go. If you want Chinese this is the best around read more

This place is nasty. Found bug in food and when I called staff was rude and refused to refund money. DO NOT EAT HERE

My first experience was not good at all. Ordered almond chicken. I have never had it and anywhere without the gravy on it and almonds until now. Freezer burnt dry hammered flat something I say something because there was no flavor at all. Microwave will do that. Shrimp fried rice lol. 0&openid.return_to Save your money folks go to grocery store pick something in frozen food section. read more

So far in the last 4 yrs. Living here in Westland this was our hidden gem. Coming from NJ having several locations for good Chinese food, I really think this is good food, and fast service place for me. Any other place has been a miss and we've been to a few, wasted money on bad quality.,oily, not the correct noodles. Only bad, No side of rice came with food. But next time we'll ask for it! read more

I wish I have read Bradlee's review before I ordered. The General Taos Chicken used to be the best around. Now, the sauce is so sweet you'll need to visit a dentist after eating it. I ordered it Hot, and I think they thought I meant Sweeter. It was absolutely horrible. The rice was bland and dry as well. The only redeeming thing was the egg roll, but I am totally disappointed. What the heck happened?!?!?? read more

Still on the hunt to find my new favorite Chinese place. The food here was good, but not excellent. I will say, the crab Rangoon and the garlic chips were phenomenal. The soups were a little too gooey, almost like they put too much corn starch or something. read more

China Gate - Almond chicken - Chinese Near Me - Westland, Michigan

Located in a strip mall which most wouldn't notice the place. This is my first time ordering from them. I decided to try to New style chicken Lo mein. It was definitely tasty and like description the noodles are fairly soft. It says it's soft egg noodles stir-fried with mixed vegetables (bean sprouts, carrots, Napa cabbage, bok choy, and celery all thinly sliced). The chicken was cut up in small pieces definitely not a ton of chicken in the dish. Large is a very decent size! Lots of noodles!!! It filled my Pyrex 6 cup dish. Overall pretty good. read more

Mortified that my shrimp looks like this. They put the sauce on the side when I clearly did not order it that way. My first time there and the woman at the counter was dry and not friendly. Rice has no flavor and is not good. Don't waste your time & money. read more

The best Chinese food I've had in a long time. My family loves China Gate! The service is great as well.

Huge portions, friendly employees and hot tea while you wait. The lunch sizes are huge in themselves, and the dinners are enough to have a second meal the following day. The only thing I wish is that their menu items were more descriptive as to what is in the dish. BTW their Egg Foo Young is the BEST! read more

Foods always good. But did you guys change fortune cookie recipes? Cause they were stale. Also. My fortune sucked lol. read more

You really don't have to go to The other side of the world in China to enjoy the best Chinese foods. Large portions at very reasonable prices. The only draw back is their only Carry-out. This place is the real family owned and operated since 1990. We drive pass several Chinese restaurants just to get here from Livonia. One lady was picking up an order from Ann Arbor.The restaurant is Westland. Lucky them! My favorite is the General szechaun chicken. Consist of white meat, lightly wok sautéed of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar and whatever else the Chinese Gods said to do This is designed to make your mouth water and your stomach purr. Served with Medium rice. The combination comes with chicken rice. My wife ordered a side of crab Rangoon with a small cup of hot mustard. We ordered a side of pork fried rice and will get at least two dinners and some light snacking for two people over two days. Don't count the calories when you eat it just step back , Enjoy life and let your taste buds tell you that you did the right thing! All diners are served with plum sauce. Oh, don't forget to order your egg rolls at .99cents each or 5 for $4 is a delicious steal!! read more

Food is always good, and the staff are friendly, will be returning from Chinese, if your craving for Chinese food highly recommended

My Dad recommended this place and I'm glad he did. The people we're nice, the prices competitive, and the food was delicious. I'll definitely be going back! Crab Rangoon was great. read more

Usually I love this place but the last time I ordered chicken fried rice, there was no chicken in it. Some sort of rectangle looking thing inside that definitely was not chicken read more

If I rate this lower I would! I'm sorry if they lose business but I can't get my money back and they close really early. A coworker recently recommended this place so I thought I would try it out because the prices are really good. Well, you get what you pay for! I ordered the shrimp Lo Mein. Usually this is a safe dish when trying out a new Chinese place. What I received was nowhere near Lo Mein! I got boiled Ramen noodles drowned in some white sauce! It was like gummy soup with about 5 shrimp! Then the egg roll was crispy on the outside but gummy on the inside. It's like they used too much dough or something! I am so sorry I ever stopped here! Everyone is different so someone may love this place but I give it a -0! read more

This use to be the spot. I was really disappointed with the food the last several times we've ordered. I think they may have changed owners at some point in recent years. We'll be ordering from a different place for now on. Chicken was terrible. I ordered sesame chicken and hot. It had no spice whatsoever and it was completely different from previous years. I've ordered in the past and ordered this dish hot and had a hard time eating it from the spicy ness. read more

This has been our Chinese restaurant for decades. There are some scattered reviews on here and I guess that is pretty standard with any place. What I've come to realize about Chinese food is that it's like politics, everyone has an opinion and everyone thinks they are right. My Chinese place has always been China Gate and anytime I am back in town I always try to grab something. They have the best almond chicken, sweet-and-sour sauce, chicken fried rice, gravy, and egg rolls I have ever had at any Chinese place. I always look forward to coming back read more

They serve generous portions. The service was adequate. The fried rice was ok. The fried shrimp was not cooked in fresh oil; the oil was bad and smelled burnt. The small shrimp was difficult to find in the batter and was over- cooked. They do not have wor won ton soup, and their simple won ton soup was just that - very simple. read more

Quick and friendly service. Food is always top notch! They serve our favorite crab rangoons!! read more

Thank you, fellow Yelpers! I found this place thanks to your recommendations. My Grandmother lives near here, so we're alwyas looking for new places to get carryout. We've had such bad luck trying to find good Chinese that wasn't far away! This place is a hidden gem, and we will definitely be back. We ordered a wide variety of things, and absolutely everything from the soup to the vegetarian stir fry was flavorful, fresh, and NOT greasy. The veggie stir fry was truly unbelievable, as I am often disappointed by carry-out veggie options. I ate the entire pint of this stuff. Both the egg drop and hot and sour soups were deliciously eggy and rich. We also ordered the moo shu pork, chicken chop suey, and veggie stir-fry, all of which were beautifully sauced, perfectly cooked, full of meat and veggies and tasted delicious. I could be addicted to this place. read more

This is where I always get Chinese food from. IT'S THE BEST CHINESE FOOD AROUND! Good prices and you get a lot of food for your money! The workers are nice to! read more

I ordered the Beef and broccoli. Apparently they think it's a soup...called about it and they didn't want to replace it. 1/10 would not go to again. read more

China Gate - Beef and Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Westland, Michigan

Big portions ! Bland very dry, soy sauce colored chicken fried rice ! Too bad it has fresh amount of cut up chicken bits. Tried the pineapple chicken medium spice under the Sichuan choices ! Darn it tasted I ordered sweet sesame chicken minus the sesame and was just topped with pineapple tidbits ! Far from being authentic Chinese food and lack of promise to be Americanized Chinese dish. One star for big portions and using real chunky chicken pieces. read more

China Gate - Chicken pineapple - Chinese Near Me - Westland, Michigan

Good food and great portions! One of the best Chinese places around. The sweet and sour chicken is my favorite.

I've been eating at China Gate since it opened. Full disclosure - At that time the owners were our next door neighbors and we consider them family. That being said you can make your own decision regarding the objectivity of this review but many other reviewers agree with me. This family owned and operated restaurant has been dishing up large portions of great food for almost 30 years. Located in a small strip mall north of Ford Road it can be easy to miss so use your GPS. The quality has remained consistent and the prices fair which contributes to China Gate's popularity. We enjoy and recommend the Lo Mein, Moo Shoo Pork, Chicken Fried Rice, Crab Rangoon and Eggrolls and Orange Chicken and have enjoyed many others. There are a few tables in this small restaurant but it is primarily carry out so you can enjoy it in the comfort of home. read more

I've only been here once so this rating can go either say but its middle of the road. Lunch specials are well priced and I didn't have any problems with my almond chicken. Inside its nice and clean and the staff is friendly. Update to come! Update: this has become my new favorite Chinese place! After trying more on their menu and other places in the area, this place deserves more customers! Everything is flavor Paul on the Chinese and Thai sides and staff is always the greatest. I have not been disappointed in anything I have had yet and that's a great feeling. If I had to suggest something, think Thai. Large portions and it comes off so good. read more

My second ex-wife use to own a Chinese restaurant made old world tastes so I know authentic Chinese food. with that said, I talk about The China Gate. Now the China Gate has very very good food. HUGE portions for a take out. I got the Beef Lo Mein, Beef rolls, fried rice and Egg Drop Soup. The Lo Mein is very good. Very tasty and full of veggies and meat. Not quite right on the noodles, but that a minor point. The important thing it is very good and well worth going after. The egg drop soup is good. I now how can you mess that up, but i have actually been to places that do. This place had a small that makes many places large seem small. It was great!!! My rice was fantastic. We all know those magical boxes that hold more than it looks. This box was overflowing. Have no idea how they did that. But it was great and so glad that I ordered it. The "egg rolls" or beef rolls as they should be called were very good. Full of beef and great seasonings. Over all the food was fantastic. This is one place that people should try and once they do I can now see why they have regulars. The people were friendly. If you are a regular the cashier knows them by name and is very friendly to all. Go try it. read more

The food is delicious and the portions are huge. Always busy, so you know the food is good. We especially like the broccoli and chicken. Try this place, you'll always come back! read more

Food was SLOP! $25 for food I didn't want to eat. Will not be eating here again. To start, none of the food looked appetizing. Garlic chicken was bland (no garlic taste) and sauce was so thick it was almost gravy. Lo mein was also bland and sauce was very thick. They need to get some decent carry out containers. Plastic bags are not good. Very unsatisfied. read more

The best Chinese food around! I pass 10 other places just to get to this one! Great food!!

I love this place. I love how easy it is to order and for many years I've ordered to go from China Gate and not once have I had a mistake or bad meal. My fav is Kung Pao Shrimp medium and the spice level is consistently medium. They're kind and engaging too. Best old school egg rolls anywhere. read more

So I have been going to numerous Chinese places in the area to see which one is the best. I'm sorry to say this, but it is one of the worst. I was really excited after I read the reviews but it just did not taste good. Everyone I encountered there was super friendly. I could tell the chicken itself tasted good but the garlic "sauce" which was more goop than sauce, was not good. It just tasted like oil. I gave it two stars bc the staff was nice, my boyfriend like his general tsos and the chicken fried rice was decent. Another good point was a large is very large and enough for at least two meals. read more

About 25 of us ordered carryout last Friday. For most of us it was the first time eating there. I never heard one negative comment from anyone! We were all amazed with the quality & quantity of the food! There were quite a few orders for "Crispy Chicken" which came with a sweet plum-like dipping sauce. Normally I don't like sweet on my chicken, but it was awesome! The quality of the chicken was incredible, and each piece was a three-biter! The combo came with an egg roll that was pretty good, and pork fried rice that was good, but could have used some more veggies. Other than that, this place is a "must try". We're actually organizing it for our Tuesday carryout day at work, it was such a hit! Next week, almond chicken, then shrimp with lobster sauce, then..... read more
