Mr. Gao Restaurant 高老庄 in Mississauga

Food was ok. Waitress was attentive.

The four of us ordered four hot dishes, two cold dishes, and one dumpling, all recommended by the store. The overall feeling is that it is delicious, large in quantity and affordable, and the service is also very good. Both boys and girls are very attentive and thoughtful. Ill come here next time because there are still many dishes I havent eaten yet.

The taste is good, the price is reasonable, the food is served quickly, the environment is ok, and the service attitude is good~

Really good food with good price. Love the lamb skewers!

Great services and great food.

Service was good and fast.

The taste is pretty good, but the dumplings are a bit small. It s already 10:30 in the evening, but luckily the store is open until 12 o clock

The server was helpful... but it was quite complicated with their online ordering.. it was not working efficiently.. the descriptions of the ingredients were very lacking. Some of the food was tasty and some was very bland. The bbq lamb was tasty but fatty and we were spitting most of it out. The bbq shrimp was tasty but very overpriced and the bbq scallop was probably the tastiest and a decent size. Overall I dont think we will come back here as the food lacked flavour. The lamb soup was so tasteless, the leek dumpling with egg also was so meh... it was not the best experience. We still prefer Ugyhur food as the dishese are more to our pallet.

We have been coming here for many years now but for the first time when we pointed out that there was something off with the regular dishes, the chef took it personally and destroyed entire food thereafter. Like putting curries saoked in water . Plus the servers and the chef were yelling all the time during our stay. Either the chef owns the place or the owner does not care to maintain the quality any more. I gave this place a 5 star rating and today i give it the lowest possible rating. Go at your own risk.

The portions of vegetables and meat skewers are large and the prices are affordable

The food at this restaurant is delicious, the service is excellent, and the dishes were served very quickly. Overall, a great dining experience. Highly recommend!

The food quality was exceptional every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a top-notch dining experience that I highly recommend

Large portion, delicious and filling

tasty! Tastes great! Service attitude is excellent

Very good food. I come here almost every week. Especially love the fish and chicken dishes.

The food used to be good with good quantity and taste. But now the price has gone up and the quality and quantity has gone down. The SiChuan Style Chilli Chicken has a very bad after taste.

Overall its pretty good, and the taste is pretty much in line with expectations. The service attitude is friendly, but the serving speed is a little slow. I dont know if it is because it is busy today. The environment is also good, suitable for gatherings with friends.

The taste is delicious, but for no reason, two extra dishes were added that were not what we ordered.. Both of them were clearly ordered, only two portions, but three portions came out.. Let us check the order history, and after checking, it was not what we ordered. Cannot be refunded.. The clerk said the system showed 1 portion + 2 portions. I know I ordered 2 portions, but we also paid for the extra portion.. It s delicious, but the ordering system is hard to describe.

I LOVEEEEEEEE THIS PLACE SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! They have such goooooood fooooood

Very good taste, highly recommended

The lamb skewers and noodles were amazing! I highly recommend! Love the little robot to come being your food!

Stopped in for a late night bite. Excellent service, quick & friendly. Food was prepared quickly and prices very reasonable.

Excellent lamb and beef skewers.

Went on their website, looked at the menu and called to place my order. When I got to the restaurant for pick up and was about to pay, I realized the prices were much higher than it shows on their online menu. I brought this up and she said the menu on the website was old. That they have a new menu in the store for me to look at it. I said I would understand if I was ordering in store but that wasn t the case. I had called and placed my order based off the online menu. I said this was unethical, that some people order based on budget, and for people ordering a bunch of different items off the menu it all adds up. For my two items I was paying an extra $5 when I shouldn t be and for her to call the manager. She called the boss, adjusted the price and then said the boss and the family were lazy and hadn t updated it yet. I highly recommended you update the website menu to avoid future customer dissatisfaction.

Very tasty northern Chinese food! Ordered via Uber Eats for the first time. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and well packed. It seems not all menu items are available through Uber, so we intend to go in person soon to explore the menu further!

Best Chinese restaurant in mississauga hands down . Authentic Chinese

So affordable, plentiful, and delicious ( - )

Personally, I like their hot pot pork ribs and chicken. I will order this every time. The stir-fried pork version is also available. The service is also very good.

Loved it all.

Walked into the restaurant with zero expectations as it was our first time here - could not have had a better experience! Everything was perfectly spiced and seasoned, and tasted so fresh! We had the lamb with cumin, kung Pao, skewers, and dumplings, and each was better than the last. A

Was good overall. Would definitely recommend comming here. Only thing was that the Guo Bao Pork that was supposed to be sweet and sour wasnt really sour and was only sweet. Otherwise it was good.

Place was clean and the food arrived fast. Lots of beef in the Pepper Beef on rice. Tea was also very good. Loved the jelly dessert, it was very refreshing!

The price is very expensive and the food is average;

Soft tofu.... Yummmmm

Very crispy nice spiced chicken

Im a frequent visitor for take outs as well as dine in. Everything I have to say about this place is that its pretty good. IMO, theres no shortcomings in the delivery of food and service at this place. The food is good (great, even), staff is friendly and helpful, everything is very nice. If you dont speak mandarin at all, be advised that ordering here may be a little challenging, but Im sure the staff will be able to help you out.

The restaurant is very clean and nice, service was fast and the food tasted very good. The beverages are not well made and expensive.

Food doesn t worth the price. Spent 40$ and felt like didn t get enough to eat. For those who want to try Chinese food NOT recommend. Save your money

Amazing food!

After changing the chef, it became particularly unpalatable The chef can t even make pot-roasted pork, but he still has the nerve to say it s an authentic northern dish. Boss, please find a better chef, otherwise I won t come here again.

We ordered lamb and beef skewers, stir-fried cumin lamb, dim sum and chili oil noodles. Everything is tasty. We will come again!

Worth recommending

nice restaurant I like the food

praise

had an amazing meal here. Definitely a must visit for Chinese food lovers

food was so so

Amazing fried rice and bbq pork buns. All their food is fantastic!! Love the house beer!! Vegetarian options: Yes Dietary restrictions: Yes Parking: Lots Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Pretty decent and nice place for dinner and lunch a lot dishes

Food is good however this place has stopped accepting Credit as payment. It is not posted on the doors or stated by the staff until payment is required. Food is served by robots and huge lack of communication. Will not be returning here.

Very good place

The fresh food server is courteous a friendly robot that wheels your food to your table. Eggplant is what I go there for. They can accommodate large groups. have fun! Vegetarian options: Eggplant

Great food. The robot server was fun to watch.

Very delicious food. Service was interesting for me. It was robot! I loved it!

Good service and good barbecue

Place is clean. Service is very good. Food tastes are not consistent, some dishes will taste different everytime you try.

Most skewers have the same taste. Expensive Side dishes are better than skewers Pretty pricey

I love this restaurant. Excellent service, attentive staff, clean restaurant and excellent food. I am a northern Chinese ethnically and I get a delicious taste of the cuisine I m familiar with. Thank you so much for your hard work.

The best skewers in Missi!

It was very good service.

Love the selection and the hospitality of the staff members. One of the best authentic Chinese food experiences.

Skewer selections is minimal, and definitely had better tasting skewers elsewhere. The food are brought out by the robot, unless the robot is occupied, the waitress will bring the food.

The lambs and beefs skewers were decently price but the taste is not as good as you would expect (3 years later, food and atmosphere has improved significantly)

Great taste and good quantity, too. I always try their eggplant while rest ordered spicy and tasty chicken skewers, Sezwhan chicken, Kung pao chicken and egg fried rice.

It was very soothing and relaxing the food was amazing same as the service. Definitely recommend coming here.

What I ordered today tastes terrible

Great food, good environment and machine robot server.

Always good food, so far Ive been here more than 5 times and not a single dish was not good. They have robots to serve you dishes sometimes which is cool. The interior is clean and Chinese style. Only thing I dont like is QR code menu, still prefer the paper version.

unprofessional and rude . Would not recommend.

Fantastic place, love their lamb momos

Ordering is through QR Code and food delivery is by robot server...very good!

ordered skewers when served, the server didn t even care to tell us which is which.. We order chicken,beef,pork,and lamb.. so yeah we have to guess which meat we are eating. hot and sour doesn t taste hot and sour soup. For skewers all i can taste are the spices. Chicken feet not good too.

Definitely my new favorite restaurant in Mississauga! Food was amazing! Best in town! For those who did not like the robot, shame on you. It was cute and polite! Food

Will always visit your Restaurant

Nice Chinese restaurant with friendly staff The good value tasty food keeps us coming back. $18 for a 2 liter beer is excellent value. The cat robot waitress is a nice touch. Tip: pay on cash and save 10% here. So bring cash!

Me and my girlfriend came here late night as a last resort because hot pot had too long of a line. Overall the experience was good, maybe I will visit again to try other menu items.

Food made quickly, great place to grab your authentic chinese food cravings. Better to go in bigger groups to enjoy more dishes.

I order their once or twice a week. It tastes so delicious and they cooked it follow my special notes. Today, I ordered pork with pickles dumplings, I really regret because I regret I ordered only 12 pieces but not 24 pieces! Because the dumplings taste so amazing and I can eat 24 pieces! I miss my mom and my hometown in China. The dumplings taste similar to my moms cook, which heals my homesick.

Cool Robot. Even serve by robot the real waitress is very friendly and helpful. The food is good too. Today is my first time with very good impression. I will come back. Parking: Park in front of restaurant

food 3.7 stars some dishes were very tasteful some are not bad service - staff well mannered robot delivering dishes(if you need extra bowl or somethings you can not talk to robot ) place is clean enough just need to be little organized in some area

The food was not fresh, meat dishes tastes reheated and old. Gave me stomach pains as a result and food was also very bland. There are many better Chinese restaurants out there :( really dissatisfied.

A great place to eat skewers and drink beer in Missi. The pot-roasted pork and hand-grilled mutton are the best . The environment is also very clean

The taste of the food is completely different from that of a restaurant. The fish-flavored shredded pork tastes wrong. Most of the Chongqing spicy chicken is fried noodles, which is worse than ordinary home-cooked food. Not recommended.

The taste is extremely average. I don t know where this rating came from.

The servers were very polite so that s a plus. The food was very underwhelming, the skewers didn t even taste as good as the ones you d get at a random night market, and our main dish (beef brisket on rice) was very salty and just didn t taste that good.

Dumplings are not good.

Food is okay but the service is bad. The last dish we waited for more than one hour, asked once but no answer, asked again then told us it s sold out. What a bad experience!

Delicious Kung Pao chicken, chicken fried noodles and BBQ Lamb Skewers. So why only 2 Stars? Mr. Gao WAS - the place to get the BEST hot and sour soup in Mississauga. To me, this was the highlight of their restaurant. Their soup had a perfect balance of spiciness and sourness, very authentic and tasted like the ones I had in Asia. I been here many times and the hot and sour soup was always my mandatory order each visit. Their hot and sour soup pairs really well with the rest of their food, and is in fact one of the main reasons I loved coming here - as most of their other items in their menu are available in other restaurants. Recently within the past few months they have changed their hot and sour soup recipe, and the soup is now VERY spicy. The balance is broken between the sour and spiciness and is now lacking that authentic original taste. It just feels like they made a usual tasty batch of soup - then poured a few bottles of hot sauce into it. We got curious asked why the soup was so spicy now, and the answer we got was that apparently someone gave a bad review and complained the soup was not spicy enough. So now they re making it spicy for everyone because of one complaint. So here we are - I m giving my review in hopes the recipe will be returned back to the way it was. Let the balance be restored!

A Legend Chinese food restaurant. We visited four days in a week. The lamb skewers and the lamb soup are the best in town.

Very nice experience. There weren t many people so we were able to have a good service and great food. Their tea is very tasty as well! I will definitely come back to try more dishes Food

Been there twice recently. Both times the service was terrible. It is clear that they are understaffed. Both times I went, we would get half of our dishes and then wouldnt get the other dishes until 20 minutes later. I understand if all the food doesnt come out at the exact same time, but a 20 minute gap between dishes is a subpar experience. The food overall is quite tasty. If they could fix their service issues, we would be happy to return. Getting a servers attention is also much harder than it should be.

The only good thing is that there are fewer people The food quality is getting worse and worse, which is worrying.

The skewers were so juicy and flavourful. The lemon juice was fresh and refreshing. The shrimp fried rice was tasty. The waiter robot was cute. Would definitely come again. Parking: Plenty of parking available

They have one of the best skewers if not the best in town. Specially lamb, chicken and shrimp skewers.

Extensive menu of Chinese BBQ skewers, stir fries, clay pot stews and other West China dishes. Ordering via your smartphone replaces the old paper system. The robot server is mostly a gimmick, but fun to watch. Quality ingredients and expert cooking. The restaurant is divided into two sections, one for large groups, and a quieter one for couples or small groups. Staff is well trained, efficient and friendly. Basic beer selection, with a decent lager on tap. Prices are in line with area restaurants. Plaza parking can get crowded over the weekend. Two handicapped spots not far from the entrance, and seating is wheelchair-friendly. Parking: Large plaza parking can get crowded over the weekend. Wheelchair accessibility: Two handicapped parking spots not far from the entrance, and seating is wheelchair-friendly.

I can see why this one got good average rating, since it has been good: we were there in Oct 2022, the food has pretty decent quality and taste. But, here in Nov 2023, something must be changed, like Sweet & Sour (Guo Bao Rou) pork is NOT like before at all, not crispy at all! Other dishes are not good either, like beef is actually hard to chew! Portion is smaller than before, kind of creepy! Smoothing must be changed for worse in their kitchen! It is sad to see they built this good brand (Hamilton location is still quite good, BTW), and had some success and then ruined their brand/reputation! And I never liked their ordering thru scanning, suggesting people dont need to ask any questions about the dishes or asking for some micro ingredient/taste changes?

A little bit expensive but understandable cause all Chinese bbq skewers are expensive. Dumplings not tasty at all skewers were good, recommend chicken skin

You can t go wrong with the grill meats on sticks.

Cheap beer and cheap food with robots running around, what more can you ask for? Good protein and soup choices! Oh yeah! 10% off if you pay cash!!

Great food, reasonable prices, the rice place was huge. A human greeted me and took my order though the food was delivered by a robot. High marks for Covid protocols.

great food + great service! love the mapo tofu :)

Great restaurant, the dessert was the best, but the food overall was really good.

Visited twice, we ordered the same dish for comparison and some others we havent tried before. The first time was satisfying but the second time was not as good.

Mr. Gao must be for select palates, just not mine. I ordered chicken/beef/pork skewers and they were overly seasoned with cumin. It was the most defining taste. The meat itself was a bit dry. Comparatively to other cuisine skewers like Japanese, Indonesian, Filipino, it really falls short. The service here was good (take out) and they have a ROBOT!!! Again, I m rating purely off taste.

So yummy I like it - thank you

Our first time here, went with some friends of ours. The food was delicious and staff were friendly. The robot bringing in our order was also quite an experience.

Youre too slow. You ordered takeout and waited for an hour at the restaurant. You did it on purpose.

Everytime I travel to Mississauga I order from this restaurant. I always get the chicken skewers, black pepper beef and rice bowl and the lamb soup. It is comfort in a bowl ! 100% recommend. please bring a branch to Kitchener Waterloo area!

I come to my back cafeteria basically every week! The service is very good and enthusiastic, the food tastes very good, the barbecue is great, and there is free karaoke, so you can sing while eating. Its lively and suitable for family and friends gatherings. Recommend the hand-caught mutton, Kung Pao chicken, fried pork with chili, and haggis soup/rice noodles. Roasted pig trotters, roasted lamb loin, mutton skewers

The Gao Laozhuang! Eat this just to drink!

Food was great, didnt gave to wait long. Clean place, friendly staff, cool robot waiter. Will definitely go again!

The worst chinese restaurant. The server gave us plastic forks to use because they dont have cleaned ones... The dumplings you see in the photos is not real because mine is so burned at the bottom. Oh they did give us metal forks halfway our dinner. The fried noodle is not good. The worst dumpling ever. Never ever going back.

The service is so bad.

I came for the skewers. I enjoyed the pork and lamb skewers- but I was really impressed with the lamb hot pot. Fantastic meal!

So affordable! And the beef heart tube is really delicious!

Very rubbish service! Won t come again

One of the best lamb skewers Ive ever had. Most places tend to over season the lamb to the point you cant even taste the meat. This place has the perfect amount of seasoning. Nice ambience too.

The dining environment is clean and comfortable, the service attitude is very good, the dishes are delicious, moderately salty and spicy!

Tasted ok. Don t order take out on Fantuan delivery from here. Price is 30% more AFTER discount. Crazy

Great food and service is always excellent! One of my favorite restaurants to visit!

Delicious skewers!

I went there before Covid, and the hot waist flower has the smell of a big store, which feels pretty good. I went there again a while ago, but the taste was too Western. The couples lung slices had too much sugar, and the spicy pepper sausage was not delicious. I was a little disappointed and wont go there again.

Went recently for dinner, service was slow, taste was bad, much smaller portion than before. This place used to offer good bbq, but lately it s been down hill in all areas

It was really delicious a long time ago, but then the taste dropped all the way, and it hit rock bottom today. I won t go back! I ordered a meal at 3:30 and had to wait for nearly an hour for it to be served! The color, smell and taste are not the same. The barbecue is dry and there is no charcoal smell. The taste is the same. The mutton feels like it has been in the refrigerator for a long time. The beef tendons are too soft when roasted. The chicken crispy bones are not as delicious as the frozen ones bought in the supermarket. Recommended to eat! Jinsha pumpkin is no longer wrapped in salted egg yolk? It is dry, woody, dull in color and unappetizing at first sight. The pork belly used in the picture of farm-style stir-fried pork seems to be plum meat in reality. The meat smell is very strong and not delicious! As soon as I opened it, I felt that this thing is not as tempting as the one made by the food court. My cooking skills are average, but I can say that everything I cook tastes better than this!

The food is average and the service is okay.

I must order the mutton skewers and pot-roasted pork every time, they are delicious

The northern restaurant I come to frequently has authentic taste, sufficient dishes, a good environment, and the waiters are very enthusiastic. Today I actually had the sauerkraut blood sausage that I have missed for a long time! Thumbs up!!!

The Mapo Tofu I ate recently was spicy and spicy. It was really good. The hotpot meat YYDS mutton soup was also fresh enough. The service was also very good

The barbecue is really good. It is indeed grilled over charcoal fire. There are also a variety of rice bowls. My favorite is the pot pork. I must order it every time. Recommended! ! ! !

delicious! Roasted lamb leg is super delicious

Some dishes are delicious and some are terrible

The service is extremely slow, a rubbish restaurant. It s the customer s responsibility to expose trashy restaurants. Youd better give me less chicken soup and improve your service more.

One of the best Chinese restauraunt around. Always look for discount on Fantuan App if you likes it.

Very great skewers I love skewers

Doubled hahahahaha

Authentic northern style dishes with multiple choices and reasonable prices

Good place for lamb skewers. Can also be your spot for noodles. Wait time could be 15-20 min.

Love the Rice noodle

Delicious spicy dishes, the bbq skewers are the fantastic. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back again.

One of the best Chinese food I have found in Mississauga. My favourites are the skewers and Kung pao chicken. Must visit now that the dining has also opened.

Way 2 sweet

Authentic Northern Chinese food. Extensive menu and BBQ meats.

Dinned in with 2 others late at night. We enjoyed shrimped fried rice and braised pork. Servers were polite and courteous. Appreciate the hand sanitizers at every table. Highly recommended.

Found my favourite dishes here. Easy to order. Will come back again.

Very good

Ive dine in twice and mostly did takeout orders here. Their northern Chinese style dishes are great. Some of the dishes I recommend are the lab and beef skewers, bbq eggplant, bbq bread (its like a Chinese beef sandwich), lamb & beef dumplings and lastly the mapo tofu was surprisingly good and generous amount (for takeout). Ive been recently getting takeout and the food is still great For the best experience I recommend paying cash since they offer a cash discount.

Delicious Chinese food and big amount meal for whole family.

Really like this place. Came back here several times already. My favorite is the Lamb and radish clay pot.

Very nice friendly service , strongly recommend pan fry dumpling , and BBQ lam.

Typical North East China style cuisine. Authentic taste, big options, reasonable prices.

Wow really great lamb dumplings, lamb skewers, and sweet and sour chicken! Great prices too

Very traditional north Chinese cuisine, cheap and large portions

Good food, reasonable price and great service!

Great place to have authentic Peking style cuisine. Price is reasonable. Clean environment and friendly staff.

The food was delicious and arrived quickly. My family especially loved the mapo tofu, the sweet and sour pork, and the peppered beef

I do recommend this restaurant to anybody who loves Asian food and the service is very clean and the food is very good also they have a robot the brink of foot and your table and it is funny.

Nice.

Gao Laozhuangs products have always been good. My favorite is the Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl (pictured below), which is super delicious, and the Farm Fried Pork Rice. The kebabs are also good. The only regret is that I cant swipe my credit card. Debit or cash only

They have a large menu, mostly North East China but also some mixed dishes. Think typical authentic chinese food but focused on northern china...lots of delicious meat. Must always try their skewers with your meal, anything bbq skewer (meat or veggies) has the burned wood & smoke taste right into the meat. Its a flavor thats almost impossible to get at home. You can always smell it from the parking lot & you can see the giant industrial smoker domes inside. Staff is very friendly, cash is king, and with covid still on us, they have automated serving robots, so your interaction with the staff is minimal. After the initial human friendly greeting the robot can serve you during your entire meal with more orders or additional requests. The entire place is friendly, both for families or romantic dates, and very clean.

Skewers were fantastic and they have a wide variety, plus some really interesting options. The homemade beer was also a pretty good lager. Robot waiter was a cool touch.

Not bad place for kabob

I ordered delivery. Not only they accommodated my special requests, but also prepared the food on a timely manner. The requests I put in are not many Asian restaurants can do. It showed that the restaurant makes the food fresh and very confident about their ingredients quality. Very happy about the food. Will order again and again, and I will highly recommend to other customers.

Great food and service!
