Update: I didn't order extra heat, but I got it. And /man!/ this is sooooo good! I'm fighting off some seasonal allergies, and this dish just hit the spot!
I'm thrilled that this place exists and is so close! There are not a lot of good options in this area. Some, but not like dahn tahn. This is like Dahn Tahn!
The shrimp egg roll was light and crispy, plenty of sweet, tender shrimp and perfectly cooked cabbage. I wish I had remembered to order the house made mustard. It tastes like it has a little wasabi in it.
The shrimp with snow peas came with baby corn and carrot slices and a nice, tasty stock glaze. I'm told you can request some heat if you want it. But this was just perfect base cooking. All of it perfectly cooked, sweet and tender.
One note on the fried rice. It's good. But it may not be what you expect. It's not fried. It's just lightly seasoned with no veggies or meat. If you want those, they have veggie fried rice, various meat fried rice, and combo fried rice on the menu. You just have to know how to order. I'll be tossing mine on a piping hot oiled skillet when I heat it up tomorrow.
Who goes to sleep looking forward to eating your leftovers next day? Me! At least tonight I am.
And the prices and portions! I spent $15 and I'll be enjoying the leftovers for lunch and dinner tomorrow. I don't even think I could shop and cook this cheap. I know I can't do it so well.
Sorry Fortune Star! This might be my new go-to. I haven't tried the Hot & Sour Soup yet. And I know your Chow Mein is better. I may still need you for those. We'll...
Read moreWell when I heard that the Golden Gate was reopening I was excited. I stopped by and ordered a General Tso's chicken, a shrimp egg roll and an order of ham fried rice. When I got home I was excited to get everything out of the bag and containers and taste everything I tried the egg roll first with some sweet sauce. I was disappointed The egg rolls aren't the same ones they used to sell these ones have alot of the shredded cabbage like other Chinese restaurants use. No good.Strike one. I tried the ham fried rice next. When I opened the container I noticed that the rice was yellow, yes yellow. The pieces of meat were not ham. I think it was pieces of dryed out pork. The fried rice tasted NOTHING like the fried rice they used to serve. No good. Strike 2. Next up was the General Tso's chicken. I opened the container and put some on a plate with some white rice. This isn't the same General Tso's they used to sell. Sauce is different and the old General Tso's used to come with broccoli, peas and red peppers. This new General Tsos chicken only had broccoli. No good. Strike 3. The old golden gate had great food. If the new people that took it over were smart they would have kept the same recipes and not changed everything. I am very disappointed and won't be back.When I came in to pick up the order I saw the old owner thru the window standing in the kitchen. I thought wow the old owner is here helping out in the kitchen. I thought wow this food is gonna be good since the old owner was helping out. Boy...
Read moreI never ate here before I explain that to them more than once. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken without knowing that the sauce already comes on it. Where I'm from they always put the sauce on the side. I explained that to them and they kept repeating their selves about how next time I should order it without the sauce and that's not sweet and sour chicken. They seemed like they had a nasty attitude that I really didn't know what I was ordering. So I just ask my money back they made it a very big deal that you can cook the sauce on the chicken I want it no sauce I told him I didn't know what the chicken was originally called lady told me she didn't know what I was talking about solder the best thing that I thought was what I wanted. I would not recommend them to no one with their customer service and my shrimp egg roll they didn't...
