Golden Gate Eatery is a complete letdown. Prices are outrageously high for what you get. I ordered the two-item combo and was shocked at how tiny the portion was — it looked more like a snack than a meal. And rice counts as one of the two items? That’s just insulting.
This place doesn’t even come close to a proper Chinese take out in Toronto or Scarborough. The quality, quantity, and value are nowhere near the standard. It honestly feels like a bad imitation. Don’t waste your time or money here.

Not worth it ! For the price the food is mostly dough barely any chicken or meat. Spent almost $31.00 for a 4 combo item. I won't be back better to spend your money at the Chinese place at the mall. Very disappointed that I wasted my money here for food that had barely any chicken in it.

The sauce was good but the food was not great and we ended up throwing out most of our meals (we each got a 4 side combo). There was literally no chicken in any of the sesame or sweet and sour chicken and the chicken balls were all batter with a tiny peice of hard dried out chicken the size of a penny. The egg roll was over cooked and hard as a rock including the inside which the veggies were not cooked as they were raw and crunchy. Very unhappy to have taken a second trip to the area in one day so we could try this restaurant and wasted almost $50. Not to mention the store was extrwmely loud with just me and my daughter and the 2 ladies working the front of the store who kept yelling and running in and out the front door.

Threw the pork spare ribs in the garbage. I think they deep fried the bones. No meat and crunchy? Horrible The rest was just bland.

Small portions, over priced and all in all low quality. Beef steak was super chewey, sweet and sour chicken was all bread no chicken.

Really good! Absolutely love the wonton noodle bowl! Comes with veggies and broth and it’s seriously amazing.

Bill I truly wonder if you even read a single one of these reviews.
It boggles my mind how generational old business that has been in business for decades can have gone so bad so quickly
And what's worse as they don't seem to want to make any changes whatsoever how they have not gone bankrupt is beyond me
All of the food is extremely old and tasteless and the prices are absolutely insane... I would imagine this place will be gone in the next few months
The last time I was there it was 2 years ago I vowed that I would never go back there because the way I was treated from the server I don't have any respect for anyone that makes anyone else's life more harder than what it has to be I was faced with ignorance and rudeness a lack of respect while I was in there the last time I let two years go past before my son wanted chicken balls for lunch so I brought him there what a big mistake my son is a very picky person I know this he doesn't like anything touching anything on the plate all he was getting was chicken balls I asked the gentleman for a separate dish so he can have his chicken balls separate so I ended up getting three meats combo he wanted to charge me for two meats and another side I explained to him that my son doesn't like any rice or anything touching his chicken balls he told me it was too bad that I would have to be charged for another order there was two other people in the store and my son then wanted a boba when I asked the gentleman to explain the flavors he turned off the screen and I could see the other people's started to get impatient so I ended up telling him that he can make the Boba after he serves the other two people he wasn't really very helpful and he began to get rude with me again after me biting my lip because my son was there I was ready to give him a few Choice words out of my mind instead I reframed I refuse to spend my hard-earned money with somebody that is going to get ignorant right before I pay after I had the food he then threw a plate on top of my serving tray and said there now he can have his own plate for his chicken balls I then asked him would it have been so hard just to give me a plate in the first place but I understand what he was trying to do he was trying to turn a $15 meal into a $40 meal I'm sorry but let this be a lesson to anyone that goes there the food is fresh the hospitality sucks the attitude on the gentleman sucks how can you enjoy your food when somebody talks to you like that I'm sorry I can't I told him it'll be the last time I come he then turned back to me and said that's what you said the last time I couldn't bring myself to pay for the food I I wanted to throw it right into his face if I would have been younger I know that would have happened because I used to not be able to hold back instead I just bit my tongue I looked up my son even though he was hungry and he only had a certain amount of time for lunch he understood we weren't eating Chinese food that day I will never ever go back to Golden Gate I am so upset and angry with the way this employee thinks that he can talk to people that way so ignorant I will never order from them again and I will always try to let people avoid ordering from there people like that will get smacked out everyday he's very lucky I had my son with me my blood is still boiling but I won't let it bother me anymore I don't care if it's the last meal on Earth I will never ever order from that ignorant place again thank you for hearing me out enter at your own risk people need to learn they can't treat people like that not in this day and age

Bad just flat out embarassly bad.
Read the reviews they speak for themselves. The honest ones. Cold, days old, reheated, tasteless, bland, overpriced.
A disrepect to the 1000s of dollars spent there by my family before moving to this plaza. Completely and utterly downhill inflation and covid are no excuse.
Do better for yourselves as your long time customers are fading fast.
Even Asian grocery stores have better take out

The food was expensive for such small portion and it was stale. I paid 35$ for a small plate and wings that tasted like it was made yesterday. Don’t waste your money here!!!

Went for our first time today and for $150 it honestly wasn’t anything over the top… the chicken balls and lemon chicken were 95% breading and the beef in the beef and broccoli was just okay…. They still charge tax of cash orders even though you get a discount … overall 3 stars
