Love this place. My family has been coming here for generations and it never disappoints. Food is always great, prices are excellent, and the service is consistently top tier. Portions are generous too, especially for what you pay. Definitely one of those budget-friendly spots that's always a must. Good food, good people, great value. Tasty King is an old-school favorite for a reason! read more

This place is by far one of my favorite go to places for fast food Chinese by my job. Everything is always fresh and ready to go. Normally I get the 3 item combo but today my tummy felt a little off so I got myself a wonton soup with steam rice on the side. Service is always good, friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is what you expect or see at any other fast food place. It's small and people are coming in and out. If you want to sit and eat you can. This is by far the best Chinese in the area comparing it to others I been to in the area. Also their BBQ pork is amazing, just know that they that item isn't available until noon. So if you get there before you'll have to wait. read more

Tasty King - Wonton soup and steamed rice - Chinese Near Me - Maywood, California

Wow forgot I had reviewed this place 5 years ago. Price is still amazing for what its worth, $10.95 for a 2 item combo for amazing portions. Like the box didn't even close. Jalapeño chicken is still spicy as hell and delicious. The jalapeños are seriously so spicy so don't get it if you can't tolerate it. Beef and broccoli is pretty standard and good. Something about that orange color chow mein is so good and of course fried rice is fried rice. Overall decent price for decent food for an amazing quantity. 5/5 read more

Tasty King - Chinese Near Me - Maywood, California

The establishment is like many Chinese places. Their protein options seemed kind of limited. The food has a decent taste. Not sure if I'd go back, not because it was nasty, just wasn't "wow'd" by their taste. The service was fast, both ladies did a good job and serving and charging. The kitchen staff was bumping corridos, that was interesting. read more

The food there was bland pablum. The chicken was gamey both for the kung pao and the orange chicken. The egg flavor was also strong in the fried rice and the noodles in the chow mein were bland. This place makes your appreciate Panda Express even read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. I've been going here for about 6 years now and it's always been my go to for Chinese food. The service is always great and food is always hot and ready. read more

Perfect! The taste is like none other, quick and delicious. Serving sizes is great! You can have leftovers for either that night or for lunch the next day. read more

Went in, saw that they were pretty much out of chowmein and asked if I could please have new chowmein. Latina server continued to put the chowmein that was there on two of my plates regardless. For the third plate I asked to wait for the new one and she made a face. Server brought out my plate with chowmein. When I came home that one plate of chowmein was covered in salt!! I've never seen salt on chowmein, it was so salty you could see the grains of salt all over the chowmein. Customer service was horrible and I hope they didn't add salt on purpose to my plate! read more

My first time here. It wasn't bad-it wasn't good. It is cheap and they do serve heafty portions. It just left a weird taste in my mouth. read more

Tasty King - 2 item combo - Chinese Near Me - Maywood, California

This place is really, really good! My cousin and her family always go here and I'm very picky with my Chinese food. I bought party tray of noodles, and let me just say that they are delicious. The noodles were thick and not too greasy and not too dry. I also ordered party tray of orange chicken and it was really yummy too. I live like 20 mins from this place, but it's definitely worth the drive. Portions are good for the price too. read more

Huge portions for a reasonable price! I recommend combo c as you get a plate with three of your choices and a small side of your choice as well! There's a high chance of having left overs if you're not terribly hungry, because that's how much food they give you! If I'm not in the mood for Panda Express, this is my go to ^_^ read more

My family and I have been customers of this place for years. I've tried other Chinese restaurants but this place put a spell on me. The place itself is pretty small and it can get busy from time to time but the employees are pretty fast so that's a plus. The most I've waited in line was probably 10mins if not less. In regards to their food, it's delicious. I love that they have quite a selection of Chinese food. My plate usual consist of chow mein (I love that it doesn't have all the extra veggies), broccoli beef (their broccoli is always crunchy and the beef is very tender and juicy), sometimes I may get orange chicken which is crunchy just how I like it. I either get fried rice or white rice, depends on the mood I'm in. Last but not least, like a fellow yelper (Deisy) has stated below, they only take cash. A definite must try! read more

If I could give zero stars I would, the Asian lady was really rude to my mother. She wanted a small plate of chow mein and the lady was angry because she was giving my mom the smallest plate and my mom kindly asked her if she can change it to the regular small plate and she went off bad wording my mom. As a customer I found it very disrespectful and don't condone any bad attitude especially from a restaurant. If you don't want to work then don't go to work. read more

If you are looking for great chinese fast food and very very generous portions I highly recommend this spot. It can be a bit confusing because the sign says "Tasty King". That's why I was never able to find it on yelp. The reviews on here can be misleading. This place is great with good prices. My kids love the teriyaki chicken and Brocolli beef which me and my wife love as well! The popcorn chicken is the best! Its crispy, well seasoned, and has a nice little kick! Bbq pork is great as well as all the other menu items. Combo C comes with 3 items and is enough for me and my wife....and I eat a lot! You know it's a lot of food when they have to close the container with a rubber band!! I will always come here when craving chinese fast food! read more

We've been loyal customers to China Gate for probably 20+ years, even back when they were on Atlantic next to El Superior in Cudahy. About 3 weeks ago we went in for a typical Friday "I don't feel like cooking" dinner. I was taken aback at the new remodeling. Then I looked down at the food warmers and my 1st shock was the chow mein and how pale it looked. My 2nd shock was the "fried" rice and how pale that looked. 3rd shock was no more bbq pork or teriyaki chicken... though being such a loyal person (I'm a Gemini, it's a given) I still bought it and took it home. I can't believe I am saying this but, I was soooooo disappointed. There was no flavor to anything. My dad and I didn't even finish half of our meals before we gave up. It is a sad sad day when you don't have a fast food spot anymore. I'd stay away from China Gate, unless you are a fan of bland food. read more

New owners! My family and I have been coming here for over 10 years and it's so sad how everything has changed. This place lost 1.5 stars in my book. I don't know why they kept the name China Gate considering how it's not China Gate at all. The recipes are not the same and the prices have gone up a dollar. The food is mediocre and can't be compared to the original recipes. They did remodel the place which looks nicer but I guess I'm on the hunt for another close fast Chinese food spot. *sigh* Orange chicken: 2.5 / 5 Where's the chicken? Sweet and sour pork: 3 / 5 It's a little dry and hard. Beef and broccoli: 2 / 5 Ugh. One of my favorites is severely watered down. Chow mein: 3 / 5 Completely DIFFERENT. Lacks flavor. Typical chow mein. read more

I'm sad to say this but I am not coming back. This place is under new owners and the food is different. The reason why I was coming here was the orange chicken. This was the only place I loved orange chicken and i'm very sad it's gone now. The place looks like Mc Donalds took over and the food looks reheated from plastic bags bought in bulk. I'm sorry china gate. read more

I've been going to China gate for YEARS with my family and recently they got new owners and with the new owners came new menu which is not at all like what it used to be It's totally generic and tasteless. I would rather eat Panda Express. read more

Been conning here for a couple of years. Food consistent... just ok. Service not so ok. Asked for chili and the counter lady acted as if I asked for her pay check. Calm down missy.. I ate it without chili... it was just ok. I will look for another place in the area. read more

This place is good, always has been decent but the cashier who is probably the owner is a total b****!! She's totally rude not only once has this happen but twice that I've gone. Definitely uncomfortable feeling...probably won't be going back read more

I love this place, started going here with a friend years back and now i take my family here! Their chow main is great, Good and plain it doesnt have all that extra seasoning or vegetables, its always fresh and the ppl are friendly! Its a cash only! U can get to combo plates for about $10 read more

BEST CHOW MEIN EVER. I have yet to find another spot that compares. I live 20 miles away now so I havent been there in like 10 years but I had my sister bring me some chow mein recently and they have not changed their recipe. I remember when the place would have a line out the door and they would microwave your food as you paid for it HAHAHA probably to kill any bacteria growing on it. Super dirty looking place but the food is awesome. Gotta love hometown treasures like this for sure. read more

This is my go to Chinese restaurant. Always very satisfied, food is fresh and tasty! They pack the plates with tons of food. Well worth every cent! Makes me hungry gonna go right now!! :) read more

Food lacks taste use to be delicious I use to love this place however since under new owner ship the food lacks taste.

We've been loyal customers for over 20 years. That's nice that the new owners fixed up the place but ruined the food. My family and I, we don't come here for the decorations, we come here for the food. The food is terrible now, and I don't recommend this place to anyone any more. read more

I don't know if I'm glad or sad! China Gate is not the same anymore. Yes it looks nicer remodeled but it seems as they remodeled they food as well. Their noodle are different now which were the best ever and their beef broccoli is totally different as well not to mention the orange chicken smh. Glad they remodeled sad that the food is not the same. read more

Love this place! My family has been coming here since I can remember. I absolutely love the noodles here. I've never tasted any noodles as good as theirs. Their broccoli beef is absolutely the best. Overall I love this place. The location itself is regular and the cleanliness of the joint isn't the best but it's not disgusting either. I would strongly recommend anyone to come taste this chinese food. The noodles are what keep me coming back! read more

Returning back to this place today to find my favorite item has been discontinued. Only reason I traveled out that way was for the Hawaiian leg. Now that it's gone I'm probably never returning. read more

I'm so disappointed by how much change the new owners have done. My family and I have been loyal customers for years. These new owners have done a trouble mistake to change uniqueness of the food. I hope they read some of these reviews and bring back the old China Gate. read more

There are new owners and I feel like they definitely bring in great selections of Chinese fast food. Definitely better and cheaper than Panda Express. The portions they give are insane. Don't listen to the past reviews because they are for the previous owners. The name has also changed to "Tasty King." read more

Got something to eat last night, this included (Rice & Orange Chicken) very disappointed! No taste at all! The orange chicken was very hard to chew on. The rice was undercooked. I'm never coming back. read more

I am truly disappointed and honestly heartbroken. I have been coming to China Gate for almost 30 years and today I find that its under new management. ALL the origional recipes are gone.... I will never come back here again. Happy Mother's Day to me :/ read more

I guess if you don't feel like driving to bell and getting better Chinese food you can eat here.

The new business has changed, yes... However, I love the new recipes this Chinese Restaurant has now. Before, the chow mien was very salty and a strange color of brown. I wasn't pleased with any of the food and didn't come back until they redid the place a few months ago. This place doesn't deserve negative reviews because they work hard to cook and prepare, just like all restaurants. No need for hate! Some people can't accept change. (But change is hard, but it's just a matter of getting used to.) The place is well kept and neat of the overall appearance. I personally love the rice and yellow chow mien and a side order of potatoes and beef. Keep up the good work! I will come back many times (more like a few months apart here and there. Not good to eat out.) :) read more

weak simply weak! The food was tasteless! I should have gone to my reg tasty goody spot

This place has been around for as long as I can remember. My parent always use to buy Chinese food from here all the time when I was a kid... I remember the ridiculous long line that would go way outside the door. Their food is still pretty good.. My favorite is the Orange chicken, it is soo tasty. It has an awesome crunch to it and the sweetness is nice and balanced with a real Orange flavor. I also love noodles, they are plain no veggies but are super delicious... The eggrolls are enormous and the size doesn't compromise the quality of taste.. Eggrolls are super yummy like non other I've tasted. The servings are pretty big. The place is kinda small and gets pretty busy so I always take mine to go. It is cash only which is a little of an inconvenience... read more

Over the years the food quality has changed but then again they were all different chefs it's not like they can make it a career. But I loved this place since I was a kid and saw the owners go through the years. This place has been open 31 years so that should tell you a whole lot for a small business. They are always nice and always hook it up with extra food not stingy. Every time I come here it brings back memories. Good food good owners. read more
