I had the Mala soup broth with yellow egg noodles, dumplings, and radish. The portion was huge and delicious. Lots of egg noodles and large chunks of radish in the dish and all for $15. I also had the Xiao Long Bao and they had a really good flavor as well.
We ordered beef brisket steamed rice noodles-- delicious plate and a decent portion for the price. The baked rice with tomato sauce was different, but good. The fried fish filet could have been crispier, but then again, what should I expect? It was smothered with the tomato sauce. Owner and staff were nice. Wishing this new business success!
A Must-Visit Chinatown Gem!
Gateway Canteen is incredible! The Fish Fillet with Black Pepper Sauce is genuinely to die for—so tender and packed with savory flavor. Pair it with their melt-in-your-mouth Pork Knuckles and a cozy, flavorful bowl of Wonton Soup for the ultimate meal. Fast service, amazing food. 10/10!
