We've been here before and enjoyed their classic dishes, especially the fried rice, but this time we wanted to explore their dim sum menu. We tried the shrimp and pork dumplings, Thai curry, chicken corn shumai, and pumpkin dessert mochi custard buns. The Thai curry wasn't really for us, and the dumplings overall were good but fairly average compared to other dim sum we've had. Our favorite savory dish was definitely the chicken corn shumai! The real star of the meal, though, was the pumpkin mochi custard buns. They were TO DIE FOR! Definitely save room for dessert. Pricing is reasonable, especially for a restaurant this nice. One thing to note is that the dim sum menu is only available for lunch on Fridays and Saturdays, so plan accordingly! Overall, Lao Sze Chuan is a solid choice if you're looking for Chinese food in a beautiful setting with good service. We enjoyed trying the dim sum, but we wish they had more soup dumpling options and a few more standout dumplings. We'll happily come back for their classic dishes, and those pumpkin buns are worth a return visit alone!

I haven't been here in a few months and I have no idea why!…read more Andre is the bartender extraordinaire! He has charm, detailed knowledge of the menu and sharp witty humor...also extremely easy on the eyes...but that's not the point. He knows the menu intimately, can craft a cocktail and share unknown insights. Sit at the bar! We enjoyed my regular apps, cuc salad and potstickers... never fail. But.. We ended with the Three cup chicken with basil and garlic and it is a real experience for the palette and tongue... no doubt. I am going to try to give it justice. A large warming dish is brought out with a side of steamed rice. No big deal, but nice start. Crispy chicken in all sizes, tiny pieces of peppercorn and chili peppers and huge slices of endless roasted garlic. Incredibly delicious and no garlic left behind! The key to this plentiful entree is the hidden surprise of the Chinese peppercorn delicacy that gives the sides of your tongue an unexpected tingling and "numbness" that awakens your senses. A zing of citrus hits the center of your tongue but not in every bite. If you have never tasted a dish with these, it is a must-have! I told the manager upon leaving that this is the best dish I have actually ever enjoyed , fully. A little heat but beyond that, the meal was not only tasty but genuinely satisfying. Take this to heart from a foodie and a food snob!

See pictures I took of the menu I grabbed inside when picking up my dinner in November of 2024. Since there likely isn't much overhead costs since this place is mainly takeout-only, the food isn't too expensive for just how MUCH you get! Guys, it's so much food, I'm not even joking. It was also tasty, although sort of basic, and I was excited to dig into my left over pad thai the next day. I can see myself ordering here again in the future, although it would be for the lunch menu which looks to have some great deals!

The window was full of dying plants starved for attention (after the waitress pronounced one plant dead, my date took it home and revived it. She ought to open a Plant Rescue!) I ordered the General Tsao's Chicken because I just moved from South Florida where I saw plenty of Thai but no Chinese. Happy Buddha was above average. I say that only because I was desperate for Chinese food. So, I even took a little home for later. It was OK. I don't remember what my date ordered although I remember her description: "It's OK." (Our new mantra)? That was unusual since she's typically got plenty to say about everything. (You could point out a dead bug on the sidewalk and she'll honor you with a 65 minute soliloquy on the bug describing its tragic end and the life it could have enjoyed if humankind didn't stack the deck against it). Typically, I'd give Happy Buddha a second chance before giving it 4 or fewer stars. But I don't wanna go back.

The Beef Mongolian was super salty and unchewable. Fried rice was tasteless and cold. But on a worse note our waiter was a male chauvinist. The dude literally would even ask me how my food was and addressed my husband as Sir this and sir that. When he brought out the bill, he handed to my husband and told him he removed the charge for the fried rice but wouldn't even look at me. I said I'll take that check, he proceeded to tell me gentleman gets the check. I told him my husband was a gentleman but give me the freaking bill. Needless to say he got a big goose egg for a tip. Hope he learned what year he's living in!!!!!!!!!!!!

We look forward to going back whenever we are in town again. Thank you so much for the fabulous food!

The beef was $27! The mala beef was the best. Lots of caramelized sweet onions, a little bit of spice but not too hot, and plenty of flavorful mostly tender beef. The sesame tofu was distinctly orange flavored! I have read other reviews that say the sauces are the same for different menu items and this is true! The sesame tofu was orange tofu with sesame seeds and I did not enjoy it one bit because I do not like orange flavored sauce! The teriyaki chicken was not teriyaki flavored at all. It had vague sweet and soy notes but mostly was just sort of ... not really flavored. Just mushrooms, carrots, and chicken. Weird and sad.

China Gate is Chinese restaurant in South Euclid. You'll find it at Cedar Center North Plaza. It's…read morea convenient stop if you're shopping nearby. Also, a central destination if you're tracking from South Euclid, Cleveland Heights, or Beachwood. I was craving Chinese food for dinner and stopped here for takeout. It won't be by regular takeout destination. AMBIANCE: China Gate is a takeout only place. The restaurant is very small and not so clean. Half of the restaurant and seating is obstructed by random boxes and storage. There are three tiny tables inside. The chairs and tables are affixed to each other with little room between the two. It's impossible to sit comfortably. It was very uncomfortable to even sit and wait for takeout. Dining in is not a good option. FOOD: The menu is multi-page containing options like combo plates, soups, fried rice, lo mein, and other familiar favorites. Spicy dishes are clearly denoted in the menu. There is a pink sheet with up charges for items - oil, soy sauce, fortune cookies, and others. I ordered Sesame Seed Chicken Combo Plate ($14) and Wonton Soup ($6.50). There were plenty of problems with my order. The main one being it wasn't quite my order. Sesame Seed Chicken Combo Plate comes with pork fried rice and egg roll. My order came with small white rice, no egg roll. There was a generous portion of chicken (container full) but it was awful. It was not a cohesive dish. Some pieces were very dry, others too soggy. Some were sweet, others a bit sour. The chicken was not evenly coated in sesame seed and honey sauce. So it was essentially half sauced. The sauce tasted like honey from honey bear container that was extremely diluted. The sesame seeds tasted slightly burned. The entire dish was bland - not sweet, not salty, nothing. Won Ton soup was not good. The broth was considerably darker than similar soup at other places. There was too much onion. The won tons had a lot of dough and teeny tiny meat pieces inside. Single pieces of meat were nice but they were too fatty. Overall, the soup was too concentrated/dark soup base but also lacking flavor. SERVICE: Service was chaotic. I walked in to place an order in person. The employee took orders of multiple people calling in before acknowledging me. I was standing right in front of her. She was raising her voice at customers on the phone and almost arguing about what the orders contained. I will say that there were lots of questions asked to ensure that the orders were right on the phone. Average wait time provided was 10-15 minutes. My order was up very quickly. Overall, I found service to be very unwelcoming and too animated. SOUVENIRS: Cute glass and ceramic Chinese horoscope figurines are available at the counter. It is unclear if they are for sale, no prices are listed on them. PARKING: Large parking lot is available at this plaza. Plenty of places to park. I was pretty disappointed with my visit. I didn't get the right order. My order was not tasty at all. I'll sound silly, but after tasting my meal, I strongly considered immediately going to another Chinese restaurant for another takeout. I will not be returning because no part of my visit was satisfying.
