China Gate

We got some carryout from here tonight. The food was similar to mall food court Chinese. The meat was mostly fried and heavily breaded. The sauces were overly sweet and otherwise bland. The egg rolls were oddly squishy inside, not really sure why. They didn’t taste too bad though. It was all hot and seemed made fresh though.
On the plus side, their portions were very large and their prices were low. Probably not a place I’ll return to frequently, but it wasn’t too bad.

Maybe it was a bad day, but we were very disappointed. Chicken egg foo young made with deli style turkey. Tried this based on reviews, won’t be back.

very decent price and usually awesome food

Awesome takeout! Very fair prices, prompt service. Call ahead, give them ten minutes, and your food will be waiting.
The General Tso’s chicken can’t be beat. The portions are quite a bit more generous than local competitors look too.
I just wish they were open Wednesdays and had later hours, but that’s a small complaint compared to the quality offered.

I have really been enjoying their egg rolls. They are $.99 and buy five and get one free. One comes with my combination of their amazing Almond Chicken, so that makes seven egg rolls for my family of four!
I look for reasons to come within 10 miles of this place so I can get the best Chinese takeout in the metro Detroit area.
One Word — YUM!

The sesame chicken here is on point. The flavor is never to much also it is always crispy. Most Chinese take out gets soggy but at China Gate they grill it perfect. Never disappointed when I purchase from their facility.

Fantastic food!!! Huge portions! Extremely fast and friendly service :). Will go back again! Very soon :) :) :)

This is a faithful lunchtime standby. I love the Szechuan and the egg foo young. The quality is consistent and the price is very fair. Only 2 tables so it’s a take-​out business but their menu is expansive and the owners are very friendly and want to make sure you have a good meal. Keep up the good work!

This place is really good! The Crab Rangoon is SO good! Their General Tso’s is delicious. One recommendation, ask for the chicken extra crispy. Also, their hot mustard is amazing. Seriously, it’s the best hot mustard I’ve ever had. If you like it really hot, you have to specify so. Their «hot» is VERY flavorful, but not enough heat for my taste. It’s a carryout joint only. Their portions are really big. So if you order their dinner portion, get some Tupperware ready for some leftovers. The customer service is really friendly as well. It’s just a little hole in the wall, but their food is very good. Check ‘em out!

Just went there for the first time. It won’t be the last! Great flavors and generous portions! Can’t wait to go back soon!

I’ve only been here once so this rating can go either say but its middle of the road. Lunch specials are well priced and I didn’t have any problems with my almond chicken. Inside its nice and clean and the staff is friendly. Update to come!
Update: this has become my new favorite Chinese place! After trying more on their menu and other places in the area, this place deserves more customers! Everything is flavor Paul on the Chinese and Thai sides and staff is always the greatest. I have not been disappointed in anything I have had yet and that’s a great feeling.
If I had to suggest something, think Thai. Large portions and it comes off so good.

Great prices and good food/​soups and large portions! I love you can order a lunch or dinner combo anytime every restaurant should do that!

eck. they serve their sesame chicken with some weird thick bbq type of sauce. and worst of all they do not cover the chicken all the way like they should! i tried this place one time and it was okay but i tried it again and got sick. i won’t be back!

Love this place, best sweet n sour chicken that I’ve had in SE Michigan! Friendly staff and quick service!

Big portions ! Bland very dry, soy sauce colored chicken fried rice ! Too bad it has fresh amount of cut up chicken bits.
Tried the pineapple chicken medium spice under the Sichuan choices ! Darn it tasted I ordered sweet sesame chicken minus the sesame and was just topped with pineapple tidbits ! Far from being authentic Chinese food and lack of promise to be Americanized Chinese dish.
One star for big portions and using real chunky chicken pieces.

Terrible food. Some of the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. I don’t understand all the good reviews; maybe we went on a bad day. We ordered crab ragoons, almond chicken, and sesame chicken. All terrible. Food was flavorless or had a chemical/​plastic taste. Just awful. We ordered $ 25 worth of food and threw if all in the garbage.

One of my favorite Chinese places to order from. Great portions. I enjoy my Chinese spicy and they sure can deliver on making it spicy. A place to try if you haven’t yet.

We were recently introduced to the Crab Rangoon, a while back, sifter seeing them referenced many times on Unilocal reviews. China Gate is fairly close by and had some good reviews and some Crab Rangoons on the menu. They were quite good. You get eight in a sack for $ 4.50 and they are hot and crispy. We asked for the sweet sauce as indicated by the reviews and it was a tasty treat. The sauce could have been a little sweeter, but it was adequate.
Thai being said, we went ahead and ordered some other items as well. We ordered the General Tso’s Chicken Combo (with Fried rice and Egg roll) and it was pretty good. The sauce was a little too thick and sticky for me, but my Grandson loved it. I ordered the Shrimp with Lobster sauce and when it didn’t come in a combo. I wondered what kind of dish I ordered. I got a side of fried rice for an extra $ 1. The Shrimp were pretty good size and floating in a bowl of a version of seafood egg drop soup. It had peas and a couple of other tiny vegetables floating around as well and a hint of seafood (Lobster?). I didn’t know what to expect, but it was a pretty good meal with my fried rice side order. We also ordered my Wife’s standard Almond Boneless Chicken in a combo and it was definitely not what she expected. She prefers the yellow sauce and this came out with a sort of light brown gravy with a very peculiar taste. The Chicken was deep fried and heavily crusted and a little bit over cooked as it was quite tough and chewy. We couldn’t even eat it and that doesn’t happen very often.
There is a little bit of a communication barrier for phone orders so be prepared to be patient unless you know exactly what you want.
Overall, we didn’t know what to expect as it has been a few years since we tired China Gate and we did love the Crab Rangoons. I’m going with 3 stars and I’ll be back…

China Gate… One word: Amazing…
I was introduced to this place when a friend gave me one of their menus after I mentioned going to China Star to get a carry out on a Sunday night… She said, «Have you ever tried China Gate?» My reply was, «Never heard of the place.» Well, since that day, which was in Oct 2013, I’ve been the 6 times since… Lol. Yes, they are that good — it would even be more if I wasn’t on a diet!!! Lol. I’ve been waiting to write a review as I figured after 1 – 2 times I’d be going back to China Star or my all time favorite, New Peking for carry out. Well, so far that hasn’t happened. China Gate is that damned good…
The staff is friendly and helpful when placing an order and is usually followed by a 10 – 15 minute pick up time. The combination plates offer a lunch and dinner portion which you can order at anytime. Lunch just doesn’t run til 3, then the dinner menu kicks in like other places. The prices are cheap for the quality and quantity of food you get… You will be amazed!!!
General Tso’s Chicken is my all time favorite Chinese dish, and they make it perfect EVERY TIME I’ve ordered it thus far… Nice kick, great sauce, hot & fresh. They use chicken breasts and the breading is awesome. They are big pieces, and you have to cut each into 3 – 4 bite size pieces before you can finish one. :) I’ve only ordered the dinner portion and there is always enough left over for the next days lunch or dinner. Even the fried rice (egg and chicken pieces in it) and egg roll that are included taste great!!! The plum sauce is tasty also!!!
My wife has ordered the Szechuan Chicken a few times and has thought is was amazing also.
We’ve yet to have a bad experience and as far as the General Tso’s Chicken goes, I believes it the best around!!!
Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Thank you, fellow Unilocalers! I found this place thanks to your recommendations. My Grandmother lives near here, so we’re alwyas looking for new places to get carryout. We’ve had such bad luck trying to find good Chinese that wasn’t far away! This place is a hidden gem, and we will definitely be back.
We ordered a wide variety of things, and absolutely everything from the soup to the vegetarian stir fry was flavorful, fresh, and NOT greasy. The veggie stir fry was truly unbelievable, as I am often disappointed by carry-​out veggie options. I ate the entire pint of this stuff. Both the egg drop and hot and sour soups were deliciously eggy and rich. We also ordered the moo shu pork, chicken chop suey, and veggie stir-​fry, all of which were beautifully sauced, perfectly cooked, full of meat and veggies and tasted delicious.
I could be addicted to this place.
