Absolute rip off, this is the first time I've heard of a Chinese food place where 2 item combo includes the rice or noodles as an item. See picture- that's what $38.51 will get you at this place. The food didn't even taste good Don't waste your time or money at this place, go somewhere else.

I can’t believe I paid $26 for a bit of chicken a bit of noodles and steak, which is mostly vegetables. This place is so expensive for takeout fast food food. I can go to Harvey’s and get a combo for 999 and I’m full

Absolutely disgusting.the chicken wings were rotten, and the rice was three days old or more. The black pepper beef wasn't seasoned and full of gristle. Even the fortune cookies were stale. Save your money, the food there is garbage.

Bought a Large Chicken Corn Soup for $12.50. I could not believe it when I picked it up. I had to ask twice if it was a Large. It was so small, smaller than a small. Price is too high and quantities are less. Would not go there again. Would not recommend

This place is my family’s go too! They have never let us down! Friendly, kind atmosphere from the moment you walk in! Our food is always fresh, hot and on time coming out! The portions are GREAT and the overall taste is AMAZING! You won’t be disappointed!

Always fresh tasting. Worth the costVery friendly staff who work to please you. Glad I found this restaurant when I moved to Oshawa several years ago. Cute that they are now an eatery - fits in with our busy life styleHolly

This place is completely out to lunch!! Went with my son, ordered a small container of rice and a container with 4 items for myself and 1 egg roll (which is an additional cost by the way!!) And it was 26.00!!!!!!! Really!!! I could go to kingsway buffet for all you can eat for a fraction of the cost and the egg rolls are INCLUDED IN THE COST!!! FIRST TIME TRYING THIS PLACE AND IT WILL DEFINITELY BE THE LAST!!!! Good luck to this place!! RIP OFF!!!

The bubble tea is awesome! Noodle soup too Fast service, fresh food. The menu can be a bit confusing but staff is eager to help, take out menu is also fantastic. If you need a place for a quick fix of all your favorites this is it.

Mediocre food, high prices and a poor ordering systemI was looking forward to this place reopening at townline, after the Five Points Mall's closure, and kept checking to see if the open sign had been put out. Then, when I saw that it had opened, I talked my family into going there for a weekend meal, hoping that it would end up becoming my go to for Chinese in the Courtice/East Oshawa area.Unfortunately, it did not and will not. It was absolutely nothing to write home about.I ate at Golden Gate Buffet in the former Five Points Mall occasionally. I didn't live near it, and when I'd go to that mall I'd usually go to one of the best restaurants in Oshawa: Momma's Family Restaurant, which is sadly gone. There were times, however, where my family would go for Chinese there if we were in the area and felt like that, and I treated myself to it once while Christmas shopping last year.The food at Golden Gate Buffet was generally pretty good. It wasn't the best Chinese I'd ever had, but it was pretty decent buffet quality and a slightly cheaper alternative to Mandarin.When I walked into the new Golden Gate Eatery & Takeout on King St. this past weekend, I was surprised to see there was no buffet (but had wondered because of the name change), and didn't like the way it's set up. You have to wait in line, pick a meal type (two items, three items, as much or as little as you can eat at $1.99 per weighed 100 grams), then they dish the food up for you. People jumped ahead of me, there was confusion as to who would go next, and it wasn't an enjoyable experience.The man who served us was very nice, but he was also coughing while ringing up my father's order. He coughed downward on more than one occasion, towards the counter where my dad's food container was sitting open. I found that disgusting, to say the least.I ordered the all you can eat style meal, which came to about $15. It was somewhat filling, but not as good or as filling as I had hoped. I miss the buffet where I can get my own food and not have to worry about it being weighed or being stuck with the amount I originally picked. I would've liked a bit more, but would've had to have lined up and purchased an entirely new meal.The food? It was alright. There's much better Chinese food to be found, but it's decent. I wouldn't rush to go back for the food, itself. It's too expensive and isn't anything special, quality wise. I mean, for maybe 3/5 of what we paid, we could've got a meal for 2 from Tang Dynasty or Win Yeung Garden in Bowmanville, been full (with 3 or 4 people eating) and had leftovers.What surprised me was that since I wasn't asked if I wanted a drink, when I waited (for other people to get their food) and then went back to ask for water, I was told that they don't serve cups of water. What kind of Chinese food restaurant doesn't? They offered me pop, but we'd already paid and I didn't want to buy anything more. All I wanted was a glass of water, which is very common in any Chinese food restaurant outside of this one.Something I also think will really bother people is the way this restaurant is set up. I've already mentioned the ordering system. Well, it's a takeout style restaurant that has a decent amount of seating, too. Yet, instead of using plates or dishes, ALL EAT IN FOOD is given in styrofoam plates and containers. Needless to say, this place is going to be the king of non-recyclable trash, and it's unnecessary, completely bypassing their 'modern' approach. The containers also can be difficult to eat out of if rice falls into the cracks, leading to perhaps just small amounts of food waste, but food waste nonetheless.I get that the storefront is smaller, buffets take up space and that buffets are costly, but this restaurant was really underwhelming. I'd rather drive to Bowmanville and get Chinese from the restaurants there. Tang Dynasty and Win Yeung Garden offer better food and more value.I won't be going back anytime soon, if at all.

Over priced Chinese food that was not delicious or authentic. Save your money and go to Thai Hot Spot across the road for more reasonably priced Asian food that is way better quality... 4 dishes cost me $60... Sechewan beef had 3 pieces of meat in it and cost $13.50... Never coming back here again

    Hi Zack Thank you for taking the time to respond. Our pricing is pretty comparable to our competitors. We do however have a loyalty program in place to help you save.

    Sorry you didn't have a good experience. Please call the restaurant and ask for Bill. There are different sizes available which maybe the issue.
