**Ambiance** The…read morerestaurant itself is a decent size with plenty of seating and large booths, so it would be comfortable for families or larger groups. **Service** Service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The staff spoke English as well as either Cantonese or Mandarin, which initially gave me high hopes for the food. **Food** I won't lie--I came in with pretty moderate expectations. After chatting with the staff in both Mandarin and Cantonese, I thought we were in for a really authentic meal. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We ordered five dishes, and it quickly became apparent that the food is heavily catered toward American tastes. Several dishes contained ingredients that traditionally wouldn't be included, while other key ingredients were missing altogether. The biggest issue for me was the sweetness. Three of the five dishes were noticeably sweet, which isn't what I expected from the dishes we ordered. The standout dish of the meal was the Mongolian Beef. It was flavorful and wasn't overly sweet. That said, it lacked the spice I typically associate with the dish. The Mapo Tofu was probably the biggest surprise. It was missing the ground pork that usually gives the dish so much flavor and texture. Instead, it included bell peppers, onions, and water chestnuts--ingredients I've personally never seen in Mapo Tofu. Rather than being spicy and numbing, the dominant flavor was sweetness. The Chicken Pan-Fried Noodles were difficult to enjoy. The sauce was very sweet, and the noodles were cooked to the point where they were tough and chewy. Instead of the thinner noodles commonly used for this dish, they used thick noodles that reminded me more of lo mein. We also ordered a Beef and Scallion dish. It felt more like a beef chop suey variation with scallions added. The scallions themselves were cooked perfectly, but once again the sauce leaned much sweeter than expected. The Hot and Sour Soup was actually the first item to arrive. I jokingly told my family that if the soup wasn't good, I might be worried about the rest of the meal because hot and sour soup is one of those dishes that really showcases balance and technique. Unfortunately, it ended up confirming my concerns. It lacked the bold sour and spicy flavors that make the dish so enjoyable. By the end of the meal, we had a lot of leftovers. The only items we brought home were the Mongolian Beef and a few pieces of beef picked out from the Beef and Scallion dish. **Overall** This restaurant may appeal to diners who enjoy sweeter, Americanized Chinese food, but it wasn't for me. Based on this visit, I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't personally recommend it to anyone looking for the flavors and dishes I grew up eating.

Sad to say no one so far make the dish here. So let get into this review. We were rolling thru to go to Panda Express and spotted this spot. Went in were greeted upon entering ñ, got a menu, checked it out and immediately placed our order. The prices were very reasonable and they had items we missed. I ordered the shrimp fried rice with extra onions and green onions because that how I like it. My husband ordered the combination lomein extra spicy, a side of vegetable egg rolls and crabmeat wontons. The portion size for the shrimp fried rice was good, it looked good and it tasted good. The lomien was spicy and very flavorful but the portion sized stuff in that box was very disappointing for $14.95 plus tax!!!! The wonton were very good and the veggie egg rolls were small for $4.95 for 2 and disappointing as well... the place was nice on the inside and looked very cozy. For a total of almost $50 for 2 people and to be disappointed; we may give another try and see what some other favorites look like.

I wouldn't say it's the BEST place ever, like it isn't anything fancy, but it reminds me so much of the Chinese food I grow up on and the portions are absolutely MASSIVE. No exaggeration: You get 3-5 meals out of 1 entree. I genuinely think it's cheaper to eat here than cook yourself. HIGHLY recommend. We've tried the wor wonton soup, beef and broccoli (my favorite), orange chicken, sesame chicken, steamed rice, friend rice, and fried wontons and it's all good. The filling inside the wontons were crazy but I think steamed would probably be better. Everyone that works there is really sweet too. AND they deliver!

The restaurant is clean with a very busy kitchen of chefs hard at work visible from front of house. She took my order without much wait. My man's got his usual, beef fried rice and I asked her to recommend something for me. I think she was a little thrown off by that so she recommended something super safe, sesame chicken. I also got an order of the crab rangoons and chicken wings. I am told the fried rice was good. The crab rangoons were basically fried cream cheese triangles with little to no actual crab. Sesame chicken was very good. Wish it had more than 4 small piece of broccoli at the bottom. Chicken wings are very plain and need sauce. Overall an ok experience.

The dim sum was decent but I've had better for less. We were a bit disappointed because some of the dishes were overcooked. The service was friendly though, and we had a nice experience when they came to pour our tea. The teas we chose, however, were pretty good! What may have made our experience better is if we were handed a card with the instructions. We did have fun smelling the teas and picking them out. But it was a bit confusing at the start.

I would give them 5 stars if they could get an order right. The food that we end up when using their drive through is never what we actually order. This has happened now 3 times.

Their prices are extremely fair ($1 drinks!) and their dinner pricing includes a TON of food, half of which always comes home as leftovers.

The veggies are always fresh and colorful, and still have bite to them. The fried rice is made plain, and isn't overly oily like some other Chinese places make it. My husband typically tries different dishes everytime we go and he has never had a complaint. The quality of the meat is excellent, so leave your stray cat comments at home! I will say though, that the turquoise painted exterior and bar-clad windows look a little intimidating. But once you get inside you'll be impressed with the ambience and the quality service. Food is always made fresh to order and arrives quickly regardless of the time of day you go. Dragon Gate is hands-down my favorite Chinese restaurant in the Springs!
