Golden Gate Restaurant

This was hands down the best food and customer service I've ever experienced. From the moment I called to place my order, I knew I was in for something special. I didn't even need to look at a menu--I knew what I wanted because it was Chinese food. I ordered Orange Chicken, and let me tell you, it was perfection. Lightly breaded, perfectly crispy, and somehow still juicy. The sauce? Next level--made with fresh oranges and light in both color and texture. YUM! It came with white rice, and I decided to add what I thought was "Chicken Teriyaki on a stick." The owner kindly corrected me, explaining that it was actually beef on a stick but similar to what I was describing. He even walked me through the price of each item.When I got to the restaurant to pick up my order, I was asked politely to wait since everything is made fresh to order. While waiting, I struck up a conversation with the owner. He shared that he and his team have been running this place for 43 years--WOW! That level of dedication really shows. He even asked if I liked Egg Drop Soup, and when I accidentally shouted "YES!" a little too enthusiastically, he surprised me with a huge container of it--for free. Amazing customer service, so friendly and genuine.When I got home, my wife and I offered a prayer to thank God for the meal, and then... we dug in. And let me tell you--my taste buds were NOT ready. The Orange Chicken was sitting in that fresh, zesty sauce, soaking up all the goodness. Then I tried the beef stick... HOLY CRAP. I dunked it in the Egg Drop Soup, and my mind was blown. It was chaos at the table--our hands were colliding as we fought for more, the sounds of chomping, moans, and groans filling the room.I was so impressed that I had to call the restaurant to let them know they just changed my life. I mean, the food was THAT good.If you're looking for incredible food and even better customer service, this is the place. 10/10--I'm already planning my next visit.

If you want a food galore then Golden Gate Restaurant is your place. Everything here is abundant. They have the largest egg rolls which are the highlight of the restaurant. For me, it was alright. It was filling but lacked the crunchiness that makes egg rolls great in the first place. Their combo dinner can feed 2 people. The Hawaiian shrimp was good. I liked the pineapple in it. Obviously, they were canned pineapple. The garlic chicken was okay. Each chicken tender was covered by a large amount of batter. By the time you've finished the egg roll and 1 garlic chicken, you're full. No public restroom hinders customers from dine-in. As a result, all orders were to-go. This is sad considering the restaurant is not too shabby and the tables and chairs are nice. Golden Gate Restaurant definitely has the quantity. If this is what's important for you, then look no further. If you value quality, look elsewhere because this is not it.

I don't understand the appeal. The food is greasy, as in, VERY greasy and oily. The flavor is dull. I really do not appreciate the pressure to tip that is stated on the tacky boxes mounted to the wall. I will always happily tip for good service, but this is off-putting. It's also tiny and the decor could use some major updating. For those of you checking this place out based on a recommendation, please remember that just because it's been here forever, doesn't automatically mean it's good!

We've been customers for years. The food is always fresh and great quality. The lunch buffet is wonderful and the Egg Drop soup is the best I've ever had.

I've always gone here and got their incredible eggrolls, which I still say are the best in town. But for the first time, my friends and I ate there for dinner, they only had one person serving The entire restaurant so service was slow. It was difficult to get a refill and we decided to try their buffet plate. I should've asked what was on it because it was a lot of fried not so great tasting things, I'm sure maybe some of the other food is actually good and we should've tried some thing off the menu but we did the buffet plate and it was a mistake. I would not recommend it, nor would I eat it again.It's a small restaurant and it was definitely busy. There were people who had to wait to sit and eat and they also had a lot of takeout orders so the food is probably good but I will have to go back and try some thing off the menu.

Had GG many years ago, and we tried it recently as it's been featured quite a bit on local social media pages. And it's been quite heavily favored. We ordered a garlic chicken and sweet sour pork dinner special and a combo meal of sweet and sour chicken and pepper steak. Various accompaniments included a huge egg roll, fried rice, an onion ring, and a fried wonton skin. The order took 45 minutes which they disclosed upfront - not an issue, but note it does take time during peak times. Pepper steak was not peppery at all - it was a generous portion and the onions were really well cooked. Fried rice was blah (technical term)... sweet and sour chicken was like a sliced up chicken katsu - it was good and glad it was not the usual massively breaded chicken chunk. The egg roll is nice - large and very traditional. The best part was the real hot mustard!! Talk about it a wake up call - I give that 5-stars on its own. The garlic chicken was so-so; lacked flavor - but tender. Fried pork was typical over breaded pork chunk - veggies such as broccoli were good and had nice color. I can see where GG is popular - it's decent traditional Chinese, but it's not spectacular. However perhaps we need to try to some other dishes. Will report back if we do!!

-$11 lunch special fed three of us. It was like a chinese buffet cooked to order, with sweet/sour pork, garlic chicken, noodles, fried rice and a seperate entree of battered chicken and veggies. Its within the chinese takeout genre but a LOT of food per buck. I'd totally come for that again and particularly liked the fried goods and the pork. Interesting spot!

I ordered the General Tso's Chicken and fried Rice. The chicken tasted ok and my food came out in a timely manner. I had an egg roll. It was huge! It tasted ok. The fried rice was bad. The service was not good. There were 3 of us. My sister and I received our food quickly, but the waitress gave the table next to us (that came in after us) my Mom's food. She finally got her order after we were finished. Mom said that it didn't taste fully cooked. There was only one waitress and she was not very attentive. It is a small location. It's advertised as a buffet. It is not. They have one "special " that is all you can eat. We were informed that it was not all you can eat tonight. I do not recommend this place at all.

Great take out and ample portions. Staff is very helpful and polite. The ambiance is good for lunch

The food is always amazing, friendly staff my go to place. I love the egg rolls and egg foo young
