Dragon Gate

Dragon Gate is located at Mountain View Plaza on Jones and Desert Inn. You'll find them near Urban Matcha, right next to Asian BBQ & Noodle. The plaza has plenty of parking but during peak hour, it can be challenging to find an available spot.Inside is beautifully furnished with wood, chinese lanterns, and has ample seating.Menu offers tasty appetizers, cold dish, Taiwanese style street food, salt crisp fried dish, options for vegetarian and tofu, soup, handmade dumplings, noodles, fried rice, bento box, dessert, and beverages of milk tea, juice, coffee, and canned drinks.Basil King Oyster Mushroom ($18) is delicious! It's super crispy, tender inside, lightly flavored, and really good!Mochi Ball Soup (10 pieces, $15) is comforting and delightful served hot. I chose sweet rice balls with black sesame filling and so yummy! Other mochi flavors are red bean and peanut.Service is welcoming and friendly, including Jonathan, he's very kind!

Came here for Sunday lunch and was eerie to see that there was only 1 other party eating besides me. I wanted to like this place as a Taiwanese as some of the pieces are there but can only bring myself to give 3 stars.Staff are friendly and the place is clean albeit on the colder side. The furniture and ambiance is filled with Chinese touches such as carved wood. In the background a ton of Taiwanese songs from Jay Chou are playing. I decided to order stinky tofu big size as well as minced pork rice bowl. Minced pork rice bowl was $6 so the price is attractive but it's not really that tasty because only a tiny bit of meat atop a ton of rice. Also, the sauce is supposed to permeate the rice so this one did not pass the test. The stinky tofu big size means whole tofu fried then cut up rather than fried cut up tofu. The tofu is not too strong which I don't mind and the garlic soy dip tastes right. The pickled veggies on side taste a bit too young - need more pickling. Hard to try more dishes since I was solo diner but compared with Taiwanese food in my home state of California, this one lags a bit. They do happen to open late with what seems like a club atmosphere so this could be a nice place to have some drinks and eat Taiwanese snacks!

It hurts me to write this review. I really want to like this place, and I think this restaurant has a lot of potential, but in the end, 1-star for me.Food - If it's done right, they taste great...the problem is when it's not done right, the food can be dangerous. In my case, the pig blood was not fully cooked, so you can still see raw blood inside. I have attached the photo. I have been eating pig blood for more than 20+ years and I have never experienced this before. This is unacceptable and someone could end up in the hospital. This is the main reason why I can't give this restaurant a better rating. Check all the chickens and intestine before eating. You don't want to get food poisoning especially when you are traveling.Service - Don't expect any service, which I am sure many of you do not have that expectation anyway. I had to walk to the front counter to place the order because no one stopped after our table after we have been seated for 20 minutes. They are not even that busy at all, only 5 tables total in the restaurant. What makes it worse is, they are enforcing an 18% or 20% gratuity for party of 6. I am usually fine with that but not when there is no service. That said, if you have party of 5 or less, there won't be any issue as long as you are okay to "do it yourself" in the restaurant.Location - We used lyft/uber, and I believe it's about $20-ish one-way from the strip. Not bad at all.

Maybe we ordered the wrong items? The SO calls this place as Taiwanese "inspired" food. Another typical Vegas Taiwanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean restaurant experience so far. What we ordered was decent as Chinese food. But it's not Taiwanese food. Staff was really nice. This place is new, so will have to give it another try.Small appetizer of peanuts is included. A4.Garlic Cucumber $5. (Without $2 Thousand Year Egg). It was okay. Can order again.C24. Omelette Pancake, Oyster $18. The SO doesn't care for this. I actually like it ALOT!! Maybe not as much tasty oysters as Taiwan BUT the texture, fried crispy parts and mix was pretty good. I was impressed for normally having other low expectations for this dish. Might order this again.D1. Three Cups Chicken $19. Will not order again! The taste is completely off. Some of the larger chicken pieces were dry, tough and flavorless. I1. Rice bowl $2. We ordered 2 bowls = $4.Lu Wei (boiled 5 spice broth) where you pick 3 ingredients. Already includes cabbage, fermented mustard veggies, and chili sauce on the edges.- Something I crave from Taipei!! $5 bamboo shoots, $6 beef tripe, $6 beef intestine. BUT not similar in taste which is the whole point. So it's just boiled items which I like too. So I enjoy this dish for that. Similar to how people like hot pot, or like Malo Town but it's not spicy. - Clarification of their menu: Their cabbage is American cabbage, not the Chinese one. Theres also no A choy. Next time, we are interested in a bento box, beef noodle soup and such. Maybe they are better at other items or Chinese dishes instead? We definitely need a bigger party to try more.

Great food and karaoke. Service is. Coin toss. Some servers are excellent, some are hard to communicate.

This Taiwanese restaurant offers a nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of old style Taiwanese eateries, complemented by friendly and efficient staff. While food service was a bit slow, likely due to limited staffing during the holidays, the flavors made up for the wait. My family and I tried the beef chow mein, 3 cup chicken, minced pork rice, and popcorn chicken. The standout dish was undoubtedly the popcorn chicken, which was bursting with flavor and perfectly seasoned. Unfortunately, their spicy braised beef noodle soup was sold out, but it is on my list for next time. Prices are on the higher side, but that is expected for Las Vegas. Overall, a great spot for hearty Taiwanese dishes. I would come back just for the popcorn chicken and to finally try the noodle soup. Highly recommended!

Wow! Taiwanese food in Vegas! Vegas is known for Taiwanese food desert lol. We practically don't have any good Taiwanese restaurants at this time. Very happy they opened one. Atmosphere: (5/5) wow! They decorated so nicely as if you are walking into the old Chinese movie set. Dragon Gate name is so perfect for the theme. Service: (5/5) it wasn't busy when we went and the service was attentive. Food: (4/5) some items are very authentic while a few were just ok. -Cucumbers (5/5): it was so delicious! Definitely I will order again. -Stinky tofu (5/5): authentic taste except kimchi can be better. -Popcorn chicken (4/5): we got popcorn chicken, chicken cutlet, chicken gizzard. Our favorite was popcorn chicken. -Three cups with intestines and pork stomach (4/5): intestine was really good but pork stomach was so tough to eat. -Sacha beef noodles (3/5): flavor is good but the beef is so tough. -Shrimp omelet (3/5): it was decent but maybe oyster ones would be better. The batter was not thick enough. -Hot Marinated items (3/5): beef quality was not good. We ordered tofu but we got fish tofu. Chicken heart didn't taste very fresh. Overall, the food is quite tasty. I would have given five stars if it wasn't for lots of msg in the food. Everyone was super thirsty after the dinner. Please adjust this off your recipes! However, I will be back and get some of my Taiwanese food fix soon!

The food, atmosphere, karaoke options are all out of this world !! We all would recommend this FANTASTIC restaurant for all looking to have a great meal and a good time in Las Vegas and the Bay Area!!

Lunch date with the girlies and Taiwanese cuisine is on the agenda. Not too busy Sunday lunch so we were seated right away. The decor was very cozy and clean. We ordered the beef noodle soup, dumplings, picked three items for stir fry - stinky tofu, fish cakes and duck blood- and the 3 cup chicken. Food came out pretty quick. The beef noodle soup was very good. Chewy noodles, good broth and tender beef and tendon. Delicious three cup chicken tho the chicken was a bit dry. There was an after taste on the dumplings so I wasn't too keen on it. The stir fry has good flavor though we should have chosen the fried stinky tofu by itself instead of stir fry. It was way too stinky for me. Despite the lack of business - there were only a handful of people dining in - service was spotty. We had to flag down the servers several times because of missing items. It was just ok.

It was fantastic for the first time I visited. Food was great and portion size is incredibly generous. Service was excellent. Then I took different friends to go the second and third time it gradually declined. The taste is still good though but the salt and pepper crispy combo portion size just doesn't fit the price. Seems like there's lack of consistency in the kitchen side. Hope they can improve later.
