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!

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.

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.

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.

*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.

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.

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.
