It was a total waste of money. I had ham fried rice and shrimp egg foo young. It had no taste. None of it. What I did eat sat like a brick in my stomach until well after noon the next day. I threw 2 patties and the rice away. My parents had the Happy Family and Shrimp fried rice. They threw theirs away and my sister had multiple items and complained about all of it. We wanted to try something new. I think a local hole in the wall would have been better. I will never go back.

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.

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.

When we arrived, they never checked the reservation and never acknowledged our anniversary. If you are going to ask, then do something ... otherwise you just piss off people :( We were there early, hardly anyone in the restaurant. Floors and tables were dirty. Our table was sticky and hostess wiped things off the table as she seated us. For all that there seemed to be a lot of wait staff, our service was slow. We ordered some sparkling wine (1/2 off on Wednesday). Served in the wrong type of glass. Bottle placed in ice bucket but with no towel so whenever we topped off our glasses, water/condensation dripped everywhere. Need I say that the waitstaff never stopped by to top off the wine/water glasses themselves. The lettuce wraps sure have changed over the year. Back in the day, you received 3 sauces that you good mix to your own taste. Last evening, well, I don't know what that sauce was, maybe day old dumpling sauce? and there was very little of it especially considering that the lettuce wraps are generally something you share. We orderd the honey shrimp, chang's spicy chicken, and pepper steak. None of them are worth writing about except to say that they were hardly worth the price. Got the desserts to go. They were just ok, too. By the time we left ... 6:30 ish there were very few people there. Not surprising HARD PASS. Too many other, great options out there.

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.
