172 King St W, Brockville, ON K6V 3R5, Canada
Long-time restaurant featuring Chinese buffet fare in a comfortable dining room with simple decor.
Staff was extremely friendly, atmosphere was very inviting and comfortable and food came quickly with hardly a wait and was fresh, hot, and delicious. Must go here for excellent Asian dishes. Amazing!!
I never had this kind of worse fried rice in my life, please don't waste your money on this restaurant. Bad very bad food.
worst customer service. unprofessional and unwelcoming. the lady needs to go back to school to learn hospitality ethics. at her big age, i can’t believe she doesn’t know them.
Golden Gate Restaurant Review I recently dined at Golden Gate Restaurant and, unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The service was incredibly slow, and the food quality was disappointing. To make matters worse, the server’s attitude was unprofessional and unwelcoming. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.
Absolutely amazing food and very friendly customer service. Try the Sweet and Sour Ribs with Beef and Brockelly combo. I'll be back for more again soon.
Picked up takeout. Staff on phone rude. Food was ready on time. Chicken fried rice with very little chicken and almost no veg. We had two chicken dishes, both of which were not good. Goopy gravy; flavourless meats; unattractive look. First and last visit.
We ordered five different items from here tonight and it was very average Chinese food. We didn't love it but it was edible. We ordered curried shrimp with vegetables but we received curry chicken instead. It was heavily seasoned with yellow curry powder. The beef and broccoli and mushroom fried rice were bland. The shrimp chow mein was decent. There was no dine-in option, which I find strange given a huge dining room. The service was quick and friendly. It is not my first choice for Chinese food in Brockville but given that on Tuesdays both other Chinese restaurants are closed, this one will have to do!
The staff was really nice but the food was extremely basic. I think a lot of it was sitting around for a while and there were almost no healthy options. Also, very little vegetarian choices. If you want deep fried options, there are a lot. Again, the staff were really nice!
Clean Restaurant Food Good Service Good Food : 5/5
The worst Chinese food I have ever eaten, the worst service I have ever experienced.
I was very hungry needed eat so stopped in Golden Gate restaurant what a mistake that was, the girl who served us looked very mean not nice at all no warm greeting food was not great sorry to say I wish I had time and chance to drive around check out other places or just eat at MacDonald
Don t ever come to this restaurant. The server is so rude and unwelcoming. Waited for about 10 mins and the server still didn t entertain us and keep on talking to her previous customer. We just left the restaurant.
Great Food
Very quiet night. It was unclear on their website and in store that the buffet is only available on Friday. The hostess/server had to tell each new customer that it was menu items only. Food was decent, very fresh.
Always fresh love it when the veggies are fresh and crispy crunch to the bite will be back for more
Have always had Excellent food there. Weve been going there for many years!
The staff has a bad service attitude.
I ate there a couple years ago when I lived there the service was rude. The food was on unedible. I got my money back and left never went back.
Dinner was delicious! Buffet choices superb. A Friday tradition!
This is by far the best Chinese food Ive ever had. The owners are so great. If you live in Brockville, and have not tried them you need to. They have a buffet but Ive never tried it. Ive tried won ton soup,chicken soo guy and chicken fried rice. Everything made fresh
Horrible food.
Food is great. People are great and great prices.
Loved the dinner for 4, we had enough food plus lunch for the next day!
Went for their buffet, but food looked old. Ordered from them menu, food was ok, service good.
Affordable food and good menu selection. Parking: Limited time (2 hours) to park. Had to park about two blocks away too Food : 5/5 |
Always good food and friendly
The owners at Golden Gate are literally the best humans in the world! Weve ordered take out a few times, however; Ive missed them during the pandemic. We walked in and they immediately remembered us, then cooed over how big the kids had gotten. So amazing, so polite. Hope we can visit with them again soon! Youre LITERALLY family when you go in.
Good food
Basicly it is a Buffet restaurant, but Lunch time, you can only order individual food.
It s ok place for Chinese food Please make sure the meat is as fresh as possible. One of the pieces seem old or refrigerated too long. Please ensure you ask customers for cutlery for every take out order. Still ok especially since they close at 10pm.
The food was really good and although it was a bit pricey it was good.
My favorite egg rolls!
Our take-out has been packaged well Friendly front counter staff Like the: lemon chicken Spare ribs Chicken balls (small but light on batter!) Was able to order sides of sauces! Parking: Street parking
They only have buffet friday nights. We arrived as it was closing. We ate what was there and we were told they would make us fresh anything we wanted. We made do with what was there and left full.
Fabulous clean friendly price cant be beat foods always fresh. Delivery are responsible n respectful Food
My family has been eating at this restaurant for 20 years!! Wonton Soup is unbelievably good and so is the cantonese chow mein. Kid-friendliness: kid-friendly menu
Would have liked to try some take out but after 1.5hrs of calling no one wants to answer the phone
Very disappointed with the portions chicken fried rice had little to no chicken in it chicken chow main again little to no chicken will not go back.
Chicken Chow Mein is good they even give you a small container of fried rice.
Not a place I would recommend
Clean, fresh, delicious, great variety of pig, steak, chicken, veggies, fruits, sweets, etc. Vegetarian options: Lots of fruit, veggies, options without meat. Dietary restrictions: So many different food types. Parking: Lots of places Kid-friendliness: Good place for kids. Wheelchair accessibility: No steps, even parking lot, doors are not automatic
Absolute favorite Chinese restaurant
Service ok. They should be more greet full food great and price ok
A pleasant experience. The interior was tastefully decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming ambiance. Good menu offering a wide range of options, all prepared with great care and attention to detail. The Golden Gate chicken was particularly delicious. The service was quick and friendly. Generous portion sizes, offering great value for the price. I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and content. Thank you!
The place is nothing special, but the food is quite delicious. My only complaint is that it took them quite a long while to refill the buffet area. The desert menu is mainly jello and fortune cookies. The service lady is quite friendly and attentive. Its definitely a good place to dine at.
We came in at dinner as a group of five. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered the meal for three and it sufficed for our group. The food was excellent!
Great food. Fast friendly service.
Tonite we ordered take out again. The lady on the phone was very pleasant and the driver was quiet nice also.The food was excellent as always .
Great Chinese cuisine!! Delicious!!
Always enjoy my food from Golden Gate. Staff is always super friendly with me, I don t know why some of you are experiencing poor service. Best chicken fried rice and general Taos chicken I have probably ever had. Thank you all so much!
They never answer there phone so dont try calling.
My favourite place to order from. Its delicious. The wonton soup is good. And fried wonton too. The chicken balls and the egg rolls are amazing too. Excellent customer service
ALL GOOD!!! Parking: Sometimes not ever parking.
Both my wife and I got food poisoning from the food. It hit us about and hour after we ate it. Not something you wanna go threw its awful.
Best food great service fresh and delicious
No dine in
I called to place an order and they were very rude.
I called to place my order. After someone answering the phone while I was placing my order, someone else got on the line and I had to repeat myself again. Anyways, placed my order
Not bad
We will always keep returning. Ive been going for almost 20 years. Apart from some in house changes, the food has not. Its just perfect!
I have eaten at a lot of authentic chinese food restaurants . Food was delicious here on time friendly and polite food is 100 percent authentic chinese food I have to say shi ni To the cooks and all the staff 5 golden stars for the Golden gate restaurant
the buffet is where its at, cant wait to get back in
We have had better takeout, from here,last time not so great.Not really sure why..
Love the food fast and friendly staff!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Food is fairly good.
Good food
The food is great and fresh vegetables worth the money spent.
Quick service. Food was great!
The food is very delicious. If I ever come back to Brockton, I will eat here again.
Glad they were open on Christmas. Life is hectic this year and they saved us. Thank you all!
Always amazing food and friendly service! Ive been going here for years and will continue coming
Food is great...service not as good but Id still go back for the food
Ok
Just had wonton soup and egg rolls, both were hot and very good. Service was fast.
Enjoyed it , nice ppl and fast service
Very friendly.
The food is great but not enough of different dishes
The food isnt bad I actually enjoy it, and the delivery driver is so nice. As for the lady who answers the phone, very rude and condescending.
Got ripped off, handed two peices of toast with unbreaded chicken in middle and some rice on side for 15$ turkey club. Asked there must be a mistake got told thats what they serve. Told by manager to go elsewhere if i dont like it
Their eat in all you can eat is great. However, we tried calling in a take out order and was hung up on 3 times. They obviously dont want our business - we went elsewhere.
A typical small town Chinese-Canadian food restaurant. The food quality was good, and there was a decent selection for the buffet. The price was fair. The staff are very pleasant and attentive. A decent experience overall
Nice host and service ,with good food
Never had a bad experience. Food is always good. Lady that works the cash is always very nice and polite and my daughter absolutely loves the place.
Horrible experinece. I was a regular customer but after today ill never go there again unless the guy is working (Kevin) was served at counter by a lady with attitude. When taking my order she was very snobby i asked to add something to my order, she presided to rip the reciept with anger. Started to write my order again at this point i canceled my order and said id go somewhere else. Told her she should not act like that infront of a customer. Said i know you may be having a bad day but you do not bring that onto your customer. Smh what a shame; i really liked this place.. I beleive she goes by Winny. What a shame.. :( very disappointed.
Good food in a small hometown friendly atmosphere. Less variety than some other places, but very flavourful nonetheless.
Great food
Great service. Food was delicious and warm.
Freindly people, but food selection was limited on the buffet and rather dried ..
*Went for the buffet* The service was great, the waitress was very kind but the food just really wasnt that good, besides the amazing chicken balls the rest of the dishes had meat that was quite over cooked and just didnt taste great. Will probably give them a second chance, but would never go back to the buffet.
Expensive, everything battered and deep fried, place had a damp smell and was hot, one of the customers had the gravy ladle up to his face smelling it and now i have a headache from the msg?
Great food service and good prices
Good food but like all places I bit expensive
Food was great, but the service sucked !
Cheap but the food did not taste fresh. Will probably not order from here again.
Great food.
Nice lunch buffet, not huge but very tasty!
Enjoyed the food and service
Didnt even go in. Called to see if they were open because the open sign wasnt on the woman who answered say , yes its open, thats why I answered the phone. Bye.
It was good.
My boys left food on their plate and they charged me an extra 3.00. They have no sign up saying waste food pay extra. Their food was good , not the best I ever had ! Staff quite polite till I argued about the extra charge. I would have payed it if there was a sign or we were told about it when we sat down. I payed it but not very happy about it. So left no tip ! If I had the cash, I wouldn t have payed it !
Combination plates Chicken chow mein Beef and broccoli...pretty much all rice... Very disappointed
Amazing food
Not bad food
Little pricy, but worth it!
It was a lovely visit, nice buffet selection.
There wasnt much selection. They did not fill the empty trays. Gravy and sauces were dried out. Not very hot!
Not open the hours they say online. This has happened on many occasions.
Utterly ridiculous
Its as good as a brockville chinese buffet can get and for the price you oay there is no need to complain, service was fast and friendly and food was fresh
All you can eat buffet with decent egg rolls and a good selection of main dishes. Got there late, so maybe the deserts were all taken. Everything was warm, fresh and tastey. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Great service and fair price.
Absolutely disgusting I was so disappointed because their buffet used to be great. The place was filthy. My table cloth was stained and hairy!! The rice was kept in a dilapidated crock pot. Not returning.
Not clean
Food was fresh and delicious
Fresh and served hot. First time there but we will be going back.
Not a big selection
HORRIBLE!!! Waited 2 HOURS for our food only to find out upon it finally arriving that they do not have debit at the door for payment. Their only suggestion was their delivery driver drive someone to a store somewhere...are you serious!?! NEVER in my life have i even heard of such ridiculousness. Maybe mention the payment options to customers when they order so no more of us have to waste 2 hours with hungry kids for absolutely nothing, not even an apology. Unreal lol.
Poor service, temperature inside restaurant was very hot (no air conditioning), not a lot of choice in the buffet, gravies were dry and most food containers were almost empty (it was 3 hours before closure). Food had no taste. Outdated style & decoration. Worst Chinese buffet we went :(
Best Chinese food in town
Best buffet in town. Hands down.
Always fresh foods very nice staff my second visit for take out probably the best in town
Great service and fresh buffet
Mmmm wonton and chow mein!!!
No comments
Great food, awesome buffet at 5, friendly family atmosphere, staff is very friendly and kind
Great service, nice cat meat. Would like to try dog next time if possible.
Great food,great service.
Great food and our absolute favorite Chinese food restaurant for many years. Good friendly staff and very clean restaurant !!
I expected more from reading the other reviews... So either my expectations are for big towns only, it was an off day or?... I will admit that the food tasted ok. Chicken with veggies was the worst with a lumpy, congealed sauce that when washed off in my water tasted ok. Special chow mein sans mein ( noodles). However, the sautéed mung bean sprout substitute did taste good. Beef fried rice was ok. We were the only people in the place and yet it was hard to get any service. Wont be back.
Very expensive for what we offer
My favorite Chinese cuisine restaurant. All you can eat buffet
Excellent food. Warm atmosphere. Great staff. Family friendly. Clean
Great food and buffer :)
Yumm
Great food, amazing service and clean bathrooms. You might not like the smell when you first enter the restaruant but then its all good, you get used to it!
We stopped in for supper here and we were well pleased with food and service
Our business is right across the street and we eat and take out frequently from the Golden Gate. They have consistently been preparing and feeding us delicious food for many years. Highly recommend.
