New Golden Gate

I loved the old Golden Gate. Best bang for your buck Chinese-American food. Once the New Golden Gate opened, it took a month or two for them to gain their footing. Now, they have it down pat. The food is delicious, and the price is nice. The fried rice (ask them for the old recipe or 'brown') is the best I have had. Same as the old recipe, too. The Gen Tso chicken is usually crispy, and the sauce isn't too sweet. Don't get this confused with a high-end Chinese restaurant like Sesame Inn (my favorite), but the food is much, much better than most small Chinese restaurants in the area, and the price is fair in that regard. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Jefferson Hills, Pleasant Hills, and Clairton area. I think I'm going to get some this weekend!

OML! 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 have to see.

Placed a to go order, picked it up, brought it home and it was good. My picky two year old liked the sweet and sour chicken, as did his six year old brother. The General Tso is really good for the price. Top five that I've had from a restaurant. Staff was friendly and concise. Great experience.
