I got Cantonese Chicken lo mein tonight for a takeout it was delicious Loved the white sauce @ the rice noodles Also it had broccoli, peapods, carrots, cabbage, and onion will be back read more

We just moved to the area. I ordered the chicken lo mein and my partner ordered the fried rice. The rice was over fried and I am assuming the pan wasn't terribly clean or the oil was not fresh because it tasted primarily like pan. My lo mein on the other hand, was pale and the sauce was more of a soup consistency, the flavor was unremarkable. ALSO, the fortune cookies had a bad aftertaste and they were all advertising a VPN. read more

Big mistake for not checking for recent reviews or updates on Yelp or other social media platforms that pertain to restaurant reviews. On Yelp alone hardly any recent reviews at all. Some people had suggested this establishment and gave great reviews in the past so I gave it a try Mistake Number One is that the buffet is $13.33 plus tax = $14 for very few items and no soup of any kind. Atleast 2 different "dessert " was offered (almond cookies and donut balls) Main menu had several pages but the prices are "high" compared to other Asian restaurants but considering that no Asian restaurant is near them On the takeout menu they are still "claiming" that they won some awards prior to 2017 Service was good overall Restaurant could use an update Based on today's experience I wouldn't come back read more

Came on a Saturday and they were busy so had a reasonable wait of 10-15 mins outside. However once seated our table was failed to be assigned a server. Walked out after 40min watching large parties prioritized that were seated after us given drinks and food expedited. Not one person checked on us in 40mins to even say be with you soon. Previously enjoyed thier food and service but can never return after tonight. read more

My friends and I frequently visit here. Mostly we sit at the bar and enjoy the best Mai Thai made by Paul. We have been coming for years. The appetizers are consistently good. Some of our favorites are the crab raccoons and the sweet-and-sour and egg drop soup! Very tasty. When we choose to eat, we always enjoy the sweet-and-sour chicken with friend rice. We've been to a few other Chinese restaurants, but we keep coming back to this restaurant as it's family owned and the food is always amazing! read more

The best Chinese food buffet around! My coworkers and I are so lucky to have this wonderful restaurant so close to us! We celebrate work anniversaries, birthdays, and other special events here. The food is consistently hot, fresh, and delicious. The staff members are kind, the prices are fair, and the restaurant and buffet are kept extremely clean. A nice place to relax and take a break. Thanks Golden Gate! read more

This was new restaurant of the week and the winner in 2010 10 best Chinese restaurants in America. The place is small with a small dining room and a small bar next to it. The place was hopping on a weekday during lunch with the small buffet getting a work out but the kitchen was was on point with keeping it filled with fresh food I noticed. I would pass on the buffet and get three of my favorites which is beef fried rice, egg roll and pork pot stickers. Service was wonderful with my server bringing out my food in courses starting with the pork pot stickers which are dumped that are fried and steamed so they have a crisply side and a soft side which were tasty. The egg roll was fried to golden perfection with pork and shrimp that were tasty as well. The beef fried rice was definitely the star but most of the tender beef pieces were huge and a mouth full, smaller pieces would be more beef in every bite I thought. The flavor was so delicious with a grilled profile, maybe a seasoned Wok ?. It had a char broiled flavor which was so delicious. Ok my final thoughts for the 10 best in America is yes it's very good and better than most Chinese restaurants but after seeing the award I was expecting mind blowing but it wasn't but still very good. read more

Great fresh dishes at reasonable prices. Nice lunch buffet with plenty of choices. Buffet is always refreshed without choices getting stale. read more

yuk!!!! the quality of food has changed and it has really took a huge nosedive!! The food buffet became too expensive for them and I feel they cheapened everything up to make a better profit! The breading on the chicken for sweet sour chicken is so thick you barely get any chicken! It just is sad!!! Once so good now so BAD!!!! read more

Ordered To-Go while staying in Waukesha, because it's my husbands favorite spot. We ordered the kung pow chicken (spicy) and the peppered steak, along with the crab Rangoon. When my husband ordered the kung pow chicken the staff confirmed with him 2-3x that he really wanted "spicy" and my only complaint of the meal is that the kung pow could have had MORE spice. So not sure if they questioned if we could handle to heat or if that's really as hot as it gets. The other dishes were very good and we finished all the food. Always such a yummy treat! Best Chinese in Waukesha FOR SURE!! read more

Good food, clean, and fast service. Great taste! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yabadabadoo! Good is always exactly what is expected. Hot, fresh, and delicious. read more

Exceptional food been going there for years and will continue to excellent buffet also

Best Mia Tai drinks every! The ones I had in Hawaii couldn't compare. And the food is delicious. I'm active duty military and I look forward to coming home on leave every time and eating at the best Chinese restaurant in Wisconsin, Golden Gate Restaurant. Make sure to order take out on busy days or get a reservation. Otherwise be prepared to have a drink at the bar and wait for a table to open. The restaurant is't too big. But the food is definitely worth it. read more

Golden Gate Restaurant - Lunch buffet and a Mia Tai! - Chinese Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

Best Chinese food I've ever had. Well deserving of its reputation. It's consistent in It's quality, preparation and flavor. The staff is always nice and it has a large bar where folks will be enjoying beverages and conversation. Their beef fried rice and the happy family are stand out! They are very receptive to allergy concerns. They can make most of their meat and veggie dishes gluten free. Pricing is reasonable for this quality of food. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Really good Chinese. My moo shu pork was the best I ever had! Everything was hot and fresh. The vegetables were nice and slightly crisp still, good sticky rice, crispy egg rolls and spring rolls, flavorful but not salty sauces. The prices and atmosphere are great as well, very clean and cozy. read more

Our GO-TO Chinese Restaurant!! Excellent food, great & quick service. The takeout service is awesome. Wish they would move closer to our area, but worth the travel. read more

So sad that Golden Gate has cheapened their quality of food. We went to their food buffet yesterday and was shocked! The sweet sour chicken had so much breading I could barely find any chicken. The egg foo young was filled with pea pods and didn't taste anything like what egg foo usually tastes like. I commented to the waitress and she said they have been on vacation and just getting back in the swing of things. Spoke to owner on the way out and he said "nothing has changed". Well it has and we are sad!!! read more

First Chinese take out I've had in Waukesha where the meat wasn't chewy/freak me out. For that reason alone, I'll be back. Medium Kung Pao Chicken was not spicy....get Hot. Crab Rangoon was yummy, would order again. My husband picked it up so I can't comment on the interior or service. I think it was about a 45min wait on a Friday night. read more

Pitiful! Crab Rangoon is too crisp (dark brown), and Moo Shoo Pork included prepackaged Hoisin sauce...WTF. Golden Gate is going down hill. So sad. read more

When I am in Waukesha and want Chinese this is where I go! Take out is quick too. Eggrolls are fantastic! I have yet to try everything on the menu but I also have yet to have a bad meal. read more

Since the Bamboo House closed we've been looking for a really good Chinese restaurant and we finally found it! I'm not going to compare the two because they're both excellent but quite a bit different. The egg rolls and egg drip soup were both fantastic as were the homemade hot mustard and sweet and sour Sauce: The server was great but the service was a bit slow due to lack of help. Not a big deal as that seems to be the norm everywhere the last couple of years. The twice cooked pork was great and they even let my wife switch up the veggies that it comes with. My only drawback was the chicken curry. The flavor was amazing but it only came with onions and the onion to chicken ratio had to be at least 20/1 in favor of the onions. The chicken fried rice was also amazing and I'll go easy onions when I order the curry next so overall I'll give them a 5. Super great meal! read more

We use DoorDash for our order. The food was great. Very flavorful and very large portions. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go there in person. read more

Golden Gate Restaurant - Chicken pad Thai - mild - Chinese Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

This is a personal favorite of our house. The food is always exploding with flavor. The ambiance invites conversation and laughter as you enjoy your company. The freshness and quality of the food is what brings us back but their friendliness and attention to detail keeps us there. The drinks are delicious mixed up by the owner himself (always full of wisdom and stories). The beef dish I had didn't last long as I inhaled it. My wife's sesame chicken has a perfect balance of flavor with fresh chicken and the sauce is perfect. If you're looking for Chinese food in Wisconsin/ the Midwest it IS worth the drive. read more

We ordered a pickup order for two different very large groups this past weekend. They did an incredible job taking the order and it was filled to perfection! They even remember the extra sauces! They also put on an amazing Chinese New Year event that we go to every year! Dancing dragons and tons of fun things for the kiddos! read more

Ordered delivery from Door Dash. Excellent meal. Sesame Chicken was delicious and real breaded chicken with a delightful sauce. Combo Lo Mein dish was spectacular! Tasty thin pan fried noodles with a light and tasty sauce loaded with beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables. Everything was fresh and crispy. This is authentic and made from scratch and not frozen food service Chinese. Most likely one of the best Chinese meals I've had. Just moved here and will be my go to for Chinese Food. read more

100% the best Chinese Restaurant I've ever been to. BEST friend rice! Best food in general. Friendly staff, quick service can not say enough good things about this place read more

Good food, but you better check over your bag like you're going through a McDonald's drive thru. 3 times in a row, let me say that again, the last 3 times we had food delivered they did not include white rice!!! This time I called and asked for a Manager, supposedly "Rex" was the manager on staff tonight. But he wasn't sure at first, if white rice was even included. He checked and then stated that it should have been included. Ok, so how about delivering the white rice! No, he said - I would have to check with Door Dash for that!!! Because we all know Door Dash drivers secretly steal white rice. Congratulations, your horrible reaction to a simple problem cost you a customer. read more

Placed my order online through menufy for curbside pickup - ordering was super easy and they were correct with all modifications. I pulled up and literally within 10 seconds they were walking my food out to my car (masked). We got shrimp curry, egg rolls, crab rangoon, and sesame chicken. This place is seriously a hidden gem - everything was SO good! The chicken was all white meat and I never once bit into an "undesirable". The shrimp curry got rave reviews, and the crab rangoon were delicious. Plenty of sauces were included in the bag, as well as napkins. Absolutely recommend this place! read more

Service was fine atmosphere is fine egg roll was good crab rangoon was good egg foo young was good. Garlic shrimp and Hunan shrimp not so good. When the menu States Chinese vegetables I expect more than diced celery and carrots and water chestnuts. Garlic shrimp came in a dark sauce but we were expecting a light sauce as is the usual. Doubt I would go there again. read more

Besides the food being amazing. The service from our server was top notch. So attentive and nice. We informed her it was our first time and she really took care of us. Answered our questions on the menu and made us feel confident in our choices. read more

I was so glad I tried this place. The food was excellent! I have tried it twice so far and have not been disappointed. I ordered delivery and each time my food arrived well packaged and. The sauces were super tasty and everything fresh! I have tried chicken fried rice and pork fried rice, yum! Tried the egg foo young and it was great too. The best thing so far was a the Mongolian Beef! If you are looking for great Chinese food at great prices, order today. I am looking forward to trying more dishes from this place!! read more

I'm visiting Milwaukee for work and today once I got off work today I was really craving some Broccoli and Chicken with fried rice. I eat this often but this place didn't quite satisfy my craving. I was actually quite disappointed actually The combination rice was greasy and i didn't taste much pork. It also wasn't long grain rice that I'm used to. The chicken and broccoli tasted just like chicken noodle soup. Instead of thigh meat that I'm used to it was dry like breast meat. Of course I wasn't there when the food was prepped or cooked but it tasted like breast meat to me. I'm just not pleased what so ever. Meal did not include egg roll, but did include fortune cookies of course. read more

Somethings changed. The egg rolls I've always loved don't taste the same and it's sad. Where's that special touch that no one else could duplicate. I was shocked today when I had one and now prefer the kwik trip egg rolls over Golden Gates. And I hate saying that. Sesame chicken was ok. Fried rice ok. Like I've said something has changed. New ownership? read more

We did several different menu items and shared as a family. Everyone was full and loved the options. Food is delicious when warmed up too.

Great food. Best Chinese around. They won National awards for Top 100 Chinese Restaurants in USA! I'd say Top 10! read more

Stopped in Golden Gate for the first time for dinner last night. We were surprised to see the restaurant was busy at 5:15 when we arrived. We were greeted and seated immediately and the server came to our table. We had Spring Rolls, Mild Shanghai Beef and Mild General Tso's Chicken, all cooked to perfection. Now we know why they receive great reviews. Great staff that works well together, wonderful food and a nice atmosphere. Thanks for dinner! read more

Their egg roll's always taste old. But everything else is so so. Service is decent. Not bad priced.

Best Chinese restaurant around. Quality food and service. Roll out of the restaurant satisfied

If you are ever in Waukesha and need to scratch that itch for Asian cuisine this place is without a doubt one of the best!! They have been here for more than 25 years. The egg roll could have been a meal on its own. Some of the best egg drop soup I have ever had. I ordered beef broccoli . It was awesome! The corporate restaurants could learn a thing or two from this place. When ever I return to Waukesha I will be stopping here for another fantastic meal. They also offer a daily buffet lunch from 11:30 til 2pm. read more
