Golden Gate Restaurant

First time here. Several friends have raved about this place. It did not disappoint. Came around 6:30 on a weeknight. Plenty of open tables. The place is well maintained, well lit, and clean. Got seated right away and attended to by our server. Trisha did a great job the entire meal. So very friendly and attentive. After getting a beer and tea, we ordered our food. A eggroll that we split, shrimp egg foo young and Mu Shu Beef. Everything we ordered was fresh, hot, and generous portions. The Shrimp Egg Foo Young patties were plump with a nice crisyp edge, with sauce that was not too thick. The Mu Shu Beef had a nice combination of vegetable, beef, with the pancakes and plum sauce. Definitely a good choice for Chinese Food. The meal was great value, al less than $40. The only issue that we had was the occasional outburst of noise/cheering from the bar area. There was a sports game on the TV and apparently the bar fans were getting excited. We are not fans of TVs in restaurants.

This restaurant has come highly recommended for years and I never had the time to give it a try. Today I did and it disappointed greatly. The flavor of everything was either lacking or just off. Chicken fried rice was almost flavorless and a little undercooked. Egg drop soup tasted like hot water. Egg roll had something in it that I thought was mushy potato until I checked and saw that it was some kind of meat. Crab Rangoon had almost no filling and the shrimp dish had way too many peanuts and generally confusing texture. I wouldn't eat here again.

I ordered through Doordash. The Chicken Fried Rice was very burnt and didn't taste well at all. The General Taos was definitely not General Taos Chicken. It was breaded chicken with a weird sauce. My husband threw it away. Unfortunately a huge waste of money as Doordash would not refund my money. Such a bummer!

The staff is professional, the restaurant was clean and comfortable, and most importantly the food was hot and delicious! The place looks like a chill spot to go escape the summer heat and hang out at the bar. There is room for a large family, but mostly cozy for parties of four or less. My beer was served with a chilled glass, the sodas were large, the Crab Rangoon were fried perfectly, the dishes were all flavorful. General Tso’s Chicken, Cashew Chicken Ding and Shrimp Egg Foo Young. Super hot comfort food. It only took 30 minutes by streets to get there from Milwaukee. Take a drive sometime!

Pick up order- smooth start to finish. Everything was packed well, all the food and special requests on point and the food was beyond delicious! Highly recommend! Carbon Rangoon and sweet/sour chicken looked to be homemade. Singapore noodles were delicious, full of flavor and not greasy.
