Golden Gate Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Clinton Township

Time to try a place near home. After all, how will I find the go-to places to hit if I never stop anywhere in those last couple of miles? I've been hankering for some Pad Thai for days (weeks?) and decided to do something about it today. Seems Golden Gate, like a number of other restaurants I've been to, is more about carry-out than dine-in (I'm still adjusting to that). Ordered my favorite, Pad Thai with scallops, hot. First time in, you go with what you know. 5 minutes later, I had a container full of tasty in my grubby mitts and was headed for the door. $14 with tax. The contents were exactly as expected, a large pile of noodles, et al. The scallops were small and might not have been actually scallops (do your research, people) but it was a delightful dish that, in the future, I'll get extra-hot, though. 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 The interior could definitely use some work. Looks more like a old German restaurant or a sandwich shop inside but you can't taste decor. The man who took my order was very pleasant and patient. He also prepared my food. I like that level of authenticity and dedication. His accent showed that he was unlikely to have been born here but he's working hard and making good food. 👍🏼 That's all I need. I'll be back because the menu is huge! And I like nearly everything on it. Next up: Pad Thai Curry...

Delicious food; we ordered Fried Chicken Dumpling, Tofu Pad Thai and Gang Pa Naeng curry with chicken. The dumplings were tasty, pad thai was a little sweet (even though we ordered a hot spice level), and the thai curry was the best I've ever had. This place is small, with just 4 tables for seating but do not let that turn you away from eating here. The chef and the owner were friendly and we had a nice conversation about food and their restaurant business/experience. Our toddler son was given a side of free shrimp chips which he enjoyed. Will definitely come back to try...

Best Pad Thai / Curry Pad Thai around, no question. Consistently top notch, just the right amount of peanut flavor and fresh cut lime to offset the warmth of the curry. Not overly spicy, just pleasantly warm when you order it mild.

the lady running the restaurant is very pleasant and gracious to her customers. The atmosphere, well it's a work in progress. It's clean, but realistically you'll be ordering take out anyway. Doesnt really matter cause the food is fantastic.

Will continue coming here regularly for my...
