China Gate Tampa Reviews
This is the only Chinese take out that has shrimp and mixed vegetables in a WHITE sauce, not brown. I absolutely love this dish! 10/10 recommend
Food authentic NY Chinese. Really good. I enjoyed it very much.
My husband and I took a road trip to FL. We were staying in Tampa and i wanted to try some Chinese food. Boy am I glad I stopped here. Hands down the best BBQ boneless ribs combo. The pork fried rice was flavorful, and the pork was chopped in thin pieces just how I love eating it and service was quick. I could eat that combo every day. It did not disappointment me.
I get the Shrimp w/ mixed veg, the Beef and Broccoli and the house special lo mein. Always great flavor and big portions. The shrimp w/ veg has pleny of huge shrimp and the veg are cooked just right. The lo mein has lot's of pork and shrimp and the beef and brocolli is the the real deal. I love Egg rolls but none of the local take out places make them from scratch anymore. They're labor intensive and I guess for the price they charge, it's way more economical to get them frozen. They taste good, just mushy. I order here at least once per month..
Excellent A+! Love Chinese Food and China Gate Definitely Delivers! **Note to Customers reading the reviews. Only Read the Ones that are RECENT within the past 2 or 3 months from January 18 2024. The older reviews are a reflection of the Previous Ownership.
I have tried so many different places around town, and this is my favorite Chinese food. My friend came in from out of town and was very impressed as well. I love the general Tsos and he got the beef and broccoli. The wonton soup is good too!
Great service. Delicious food. Prices less than other Chinese restaurants in area close by.
Consistent always good food, quick service too 5/5. They do the meat skewers properly as well and the egg foo young is great
Great food great service
I have been coming to China gate for about 9 yrs and their food has always been great ! I never had a problem with this place. Thank God ! As a matter of fact I'm sitting outside right now waiting for them to open so I can get one of my favorites... Shrimp with lobster sauce and fried rice 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a transplant to Florida one thing that seems hard to find around here is good Chinese food. Tried China Gate based off the rating and I will say it’s a fair rating. Only Chinese food I’ve had that has come close to tasting like home. Obviously taste buds are subjective, but I definitely have no complaints about my order. Thank you China Gate.
They didn't give all the food I ordered. And when I talked to the manager there, he said to call another day. And at first he was accusing me of lying to them that I got all the food. But they didn't give me the combination special fried rice I ordered. Never ordering from there again
The worst Chinese food I EVER ate. It was my first time eating here and definitely my last. I had family over and out of the 3 Chinese places in the area we went on reviews. I’m a big review guy and can’t believe this place got over 3 stars. Food wasn’t fresh and everything was over cooked. Buyer beware, don’t make the mistake I did!
There food was dry , not seasoned much the egg drop soup wasn't good at all and the chiken I got was extremely dry only saving grace was the eggs rolls being 1,65 the place also looked messy
no clue how they have good reviews either people dont know what good food is or they have friends and fake accounts making fake reviews. i had he shrimp peking style and the orange chicken both had zero flavor the chicken was fried so hard it was like beef jerky the shrimp dish i wondered if they ran all the veggies in a food processor the sauces in both dishes was more like water than a sauce. i should have gone to burger king
This use to be a good place for a quick bite. Unfortunately the food has suffered since then. The order of a fried egg roll that was literally cooked in front of me, after calling in a to go order, was like they used one from a week before and refried it! It was mush. No crunch not even the cabbage but mush! For the wonton soup , well the wontons same issue, mush and favor-less soup, even the pork was tasteless. Sorry to say but will have to find another place to eat. Avoid the quality is NOT there !
4 years ago this was my Friday after work pick up dinner place. Not anymore egg rolls are like someone made it in a blender and the moo shu pork was horrible. The pancakes were like eating tissue paper. Will never go back.
The food was so greasy and the onions in my fried rice was raw and big chunks of onion. Got the food home I wouldn't give it to my dogs. Very unhappy. And that was simply sweet and sour chicken and a couple of egg rolls. Not good at all
