    Buffet plate
    Kristi O.

    I've always gone here and got their incredible eggrolls, which I still say are the best in town. But for the first time, my friends and I ate there for dinner, they only had one person serving The entire restaurant so service was slow. It was difficult to get a refill and we decided to try their buffet plate. I should've asked what was on it because it was a lot of fried not so great tasting things, I'm sure maybe some of the other food is actually good and we should've tried some thing off the menu but we did the buffet plate and it was a mistake. I would not recommend it, nor would I eat it again. It's a small restaurant and it was definitely busy. There were people who had to wait to sit and eat and they also had a lot of takeout orders so the food is probably good but I will have to go back and try some thing off the menu.

    Garlic chicken, Sweet And Sour Pork
    Steven P.

    Had GG many years ago, and we tried it recently as it's been featured quite a bit on local social media pages. And it's been quite heavily favored. We ordered a garlic chicken and sweet sour pork dinner special and a combo meal of sweet and sour chicken and pepper steak. Various accompaniments included a huge egg roll, fried rice, an onion ring, and a fried wonton skin. The order took 45 minutes which they disclosed upfront - not an issue, but note it does take time during peak times. Pepper steak was not peppery at all - it was a generous portion and the onions were really well cooked. Fried rice was blah (technical term)... sweet and sour chicken was like a sliced up chicken katsu - it was good and glad it was not the usual massively breaded chicken chunk. The egg roll is nice - large and very traditional. The best part was the real hot mustard!! Talk about it a wake up call - I give that 5-stars on its own. The garlic chicken was so-so; lacked flavor - but tender. Fried pork was typical over breaded pork chunk - veggies such as broccoli were good and had nice color. I can see where GG is popular - it's decent traditional Chinese, but it's not spectacular. However perhaps we need to try to some other dishes. Will report back if we do!!

    I understand that it's fried, so there will be some grease. But this was just pouring out!
    S P.

    I don't understand the appeal. The food is greasy, as in, VERY greasy and oily. The flavor is dull. I really do not appreciate the pressure to tip that is stated on the tacky boxes mounted to the wall. I will always happily tip for good service, but this is off-putting. It's also tiny and the decor could use some major updating. For those of you checking this place out based on a recommendation, please remember that just because it's been here forever, doesn't automatically mean it's good!

    General Tsos Chicken and fried rice
    Stephen Y.

    I ordered the General Tso's Chicken and fried Rice. The chicken tasted ok and my food came out in a timely manner. I had an egg roll. It was huge! It tasted ok. The fried rice was bad. The service was not good. There were 3 of us. My sister and I received our food quickly, but the waitress gave the table next to us (that came in after us) my Mom's food. She finally got her order after we were finished. Mom said that it didn't taste fully cooked. There was only one waitress and she was not very attentive. It is a small location. It's advertised as a buffet. It is not. They have one "special " that is all you can eat. We were informed that it was not all you can eat tonight. I do not recommend this place at all.

    Peking Beef with fried rice
    Natalie G.

    Check out the insane portion size. The egg roll is nearly as big as my fork and the crab ragoon was even bigger. First time ever trying Golden Gate and I will definitely be returning. The staff was so kind and you could tell anyone who came in to pick up food were regulars. The owner knew everyone's name and they all spoke to each other like friends. Back to the food, this turned into 3 meals. I've never had Peking Beef before but the flavor was outstanding. I went in wanting something spicy that had meat and vegetables. This absolutely hit the spot. The crab ragoon even had crab pieces in it, I was surprised. That was the biggest egg roll and crab ragoon I have ever seen! I would have like to have a little more sauce for the meal, but that would probably be my only complaint! I cannot wait to go back and try other dishes!

    Lunch special??
    Ronald G.

    Horrible food. Horrible service. They are totally under staffed and served us old fried rice. The chicken was slimy but the broccoli and zucchini were pretty good. I won't be back. They raised the prices. Fried rice and pork is now $18. Wow. And they don't even have the onion rings

Our server was extremely friendly and quickly brought us drinks. Since this was our first time it took us a while to look over the menu which was quite extensive. The entire back page of the menu was filled with lunch specials which are priced very reasonably at $7.99. We all ordered from the lunch menu. I ordered Chicken lo Mein anda cup of Hot & Sour soup. The other people in my party ordered Sesame Chicken and General Tso's Chicken. All three of us were extremely pleased with the service and the quality of the food. My hot and sour soup was extremely delicious. It was chock full of sliced mushrooms and several pieces of tofu and it was almost a meal in itself and was served very hot. My Chicken lo Mein was equally delicious. The others in my party praised their meals as well and all three of us felt that we had finally found an excellent Chinese restaurant.

You can get all the common dishes here but you can also get some unusual dishes that are very authentic. My grandson once ordered jelly fish. You can't get that at very many local restaurants. Another thing I like is that they have a couple of large round tables with lazy Susans. Our extended family sat at one of those tables once. It was fun putting the things we wanted to share on the lazy Susan and being able to spin it around and try what we wanted. It made for fun conversation talking about the different dishes. That was when our grandson ordered jellyfish. The restaurant is fairly small but the large tables make the restaurant good for groups. I think this would be an excellent place for a Yelp event. They have a lunch menu but you have to ask for it. It includes some of the popular Asian dishes for $9:95. They have smaller portions that come with a choice of soup or egg roll. Danny and I asked to see the lunch menu, but decided to order off the main menu. We split Crispy Tofu with garlic sauce and egg rolls. I liked the presentation of the egg rolls. They were cut diagonally and arranged nicely on the plate. The tofu dish was quite tasty. Next time, I plan to get Mei Fun. I have had it here before and loved the variety of flavors. The service wasn't terrible but it wasn't wonderful. We got our food in a timely manner, but we felt rushed to order and she didn't check to see if we needed anything or refill our water glasses. Service here has been excellent in the past. I am glad we came back to Chengdu and were reminded of how much we like it. We will be back soon.

I have had the opportunity to eat at some of the finest Chinese restaurants throughout San Francisco and have eaten at some of the best Chinese restaurants in Baja Mexico (I realize this may sound ridiculous, but Mexico has some of the best Asian restaurants). It may surprise you but the Chinese influence and culture is very rich in Baja. And, I like some heat! I am also somewhat familiar with the Schahuan region style of cooking recognized for being spicy and hot! I was visiting from Texas, my cousin and kinda fell upon this restaurant accidentally! Truly I forgot what all we ordered but I know I had the Green Beans and Chicken Lo Mein. This is one of the top three Chinese restaurants I have ever eaten at! The food was so authentic, just enough heat and delicious! I would love to return.

When I moved out of Tulsa in 2015, I made sure to eat there every single time I visited town (which is at least once a year). Unfortunately, on my last recent visit, the food had sharply declined in quality. Others had told me it had declined the last year or so, but obviously I had to try it myself. They clearly changed the lo mein recipe A LOT. It used to be my favorite lo mein on the planet, now it's so painfully average you could get the same lo mein anywhere else. The vegetables and tofu also weren't as flavorful, not was the kung pao chicken. The sesame chicken was still pretty good, as were the egg rolls. I'm BEGGING you all to please bring back the old lo mein recipe and go back to what you were doing before. There's a reason you survived in that cursed strip mall for so long while so many other businesses failed. Your old recipes competed with Flushing Queens (NYC, best Chinatown in the country) and now your food is average.
