Golden Gate Chinese Restaurant

I like their food. The Buffet is pretty much always the same but you can order a huge variety off the menu.

Very friendly staff, a few good items, but their shortcomings are just too much. I probably won't be returning. I'll start with what I consider negatives, and end with the positives. NEGATIVES Lots of things are over-cooked to the point of being dry and chewy, especially items you can find on their buffet: Ginger Beef, General Tso's Chicken, Chicken Wings, etc. They're also INCREDIBLY salty. The Dynamite Chicken I recently had was inedible. Hot plates are good, but I wouldn't recommend them unless you're eating in the restaurant. The sizzling hot plate thickens and changes the dish, and that element is completely missing when you get it as take out. Anything labeled spicy, including Dynamite items, is disappointing in levels of spice. If you're afraid of spice, you'll probably be ok with most things. If you love spice, you'll want to ask for the sriracha. You will absolutely have to wait for your food, sometimes way too long. On one occasion after placing a take out order, we waited more than an hour passed the time they said it'd take. Items on the menu need way more description. Not only do you see multiple items twice, but many things you'll have to guess or ask about what you're ordering. Does it come with vegetables, is it saucy, does it come with rice, etc. Any amount of description would be better than what they currently have. POSITIVES Very friendly staff and an OK price. It's one of the only reasons I've kept trying dishes. Certain items are absolutely delicious if you get them in restaurant. I can't recommend take out at all. Most hot plates are great (they will overflow onto and off of your table though, watch out!), and the Dynamite Chicken Wings (not the Dynamite Chicken/Beef) were amazing. Would also recommend the spring rolls and the dumplings. I also like the building itself. Unlike other Chinese food restaurants in town, the lights aren't flickering or all different colors, and the ceiling isn't stained or gross looking. Anyways, I really hope they improve, but until they do I certainly won't be returning. They have the potential to be the best Chinese food place in town, but for now they're just like the rest: not worth it.

You would think after a coworker corrects a price that you gave a customer you would fix it for him seeing as he is standing there holding the debit machine waiting for you to fix the price. Not the case instead the waitress said what ever and walked away so I cancelled the debit and walked away as well.

Worst Chinese buffet ever worst Buffet spot in the world all I got to say about the food sucks

Food is less than average.
