Golden Gates Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Jackson

The new owners are very nice but the food quality is very poor.

I have eaten there a handful of times lately, unsatisfied, chalked it up to being a bad day, and tried again at a later date. Unfortunately the last three times have been so bad I just won't go back. That's a shame too as I have eaten in this particular restaurant for more than 15 years. The food changed dramatically with the new owners.

On more than one occasion I have gotten fried rice where the pork was obviously old or freezer burnt or both. I don't mind recycling leftovers but only if they are still edible- the pork they are using in the fried rice is not.) Noodles were so overcooked they were almost muddy in texture. Picked up finger foods one evening and before I got home (15 minute drive) the egg rolls were so full of grease it leaked out of the bag they were in, the plastic bag the service bags were in, and put a grease stain on a two year old car seat the size of a coffee saucer. The food on the buffet is never hot, ever, unless you are standing there when they bring it out of the kitchen. A previous remark was true about new food being put in with what has sat there for long periods of time. I didn't watch them put the new food in the middle. They stirred in into the old.

I'm done. I wish them the...

First time trying Golden Gate and it was amazing! We got the Mongolian Beef with Fried Rice (selected spicy option) and the Chicken with Mixed Veggies, Crab Rangoons and Veggie Rolls. Everything was so tasty! The portions are very generous. We each broke our meals into 2 each for leftovers. The beef and chicken were great along with the rice. We got home and saw an extra little bag marked “free” on it as well and was mini donut like balls covered in sugar and were fantastic too! That was a nice unexpected free surprise for a dessert. Everything was about 40 bucks (but with leftovers/splitting it comes out to very cheap per meal as well.) Will absolutely be making this a regular take out option for the future!...

Listen, I go here for lunch at work a LOT. The lunch menu smacks. SO GOOD. I can vouch the general tso's, sesame chicken, chicken w garlic sauce, honey chicken, all the lo meins, veggies, the fried rice, egg rolls, crab rangoons are all FIRE. The shrimp with lobster sauce and black pepper chicken especially, are my FAVORITES of all.

I clearly have only remembered to take pics of black pepper chicken lol. I will add more photos as I continue to go, of other things they offer. Other dish pictured in these is the chicken w/ garlic...
