I've been ordering from this place since it first opened, more than 30 years ago. Sadly, the food…read morequality is nothing like it used to be. I recently ordered two combo meals. The first thing I noticed was the portion size was noticeably smaller than it ever has been, almost by half. The flavor was decent, but not any better than the average Chinese takeout. The egg rolls were actually some of the worst I've had anywhere - the filling was like pureed mush, as if it was put through a food processor. I can't say for certain if this decline started after the original owners sold it and retired or not. With so many other options in the area for Chinese food, China Gate is no longer at the top.

My favorite thing was the fried shrimp, but the General Tso's chicken and beef with vegetables were just okay. The rice had too much soy sauce for my liking.

We ordered delivery from here a couple of weeks ago and it was ok but it didn't knock us out…read more We ordered a pretty good amount of stuff--pork dumplings, beef with garlic sauce, chicken fried rice, mongolian beef, and cold noodles. And IDK, maybe we should have skipped the beef dishes because they just didn't really hit great. The meat was a little floppy and the dishes themselves were slightly bland. I had high hopes for the pork dumplings based on how they looked but they were a little underwhelming too and the fillings were a little greasy. The chicken fried rice, however, was great. And reheated really well for lunch the next day. And the cold noodles, as others have said, were also good. So perhaps the menu itself is just kind of hit or miss. If I were to order again I'd definitely try something else.

Don't let the bad reviews keep you from trying this place :) *Disclaimer: I didn't try anything else from there so I'm only basing this review off my sesame chicken*

The sweet and sour chicken was fairly good (6/10). The chicken fried rice was okay but had gummy pieces of chicken, and the white rice was a bit overcooked/soggy (3/10). I'd have to rate the eggroll a (4/10 ) it wasn't very good. Since I have a favorite Chinese restaurant that never gives less than 10/10, I know I will not order from here again.
