Worst Service in Andheri
Although the food is good, China Gate's (Andheri) service quality is extremely poor, probably worst in Andheri.. We were having a good time there in a Sunday afternoon and got slightly delayed.. They not only switched off the AC, but even switched off most of their lights also... Extremely indifferent behavior of waiters .. I will never like to go there.. Mainland China or Aromas of China are anytime better ..

Best Chinese food..
I recently visited China Gate this Sunday. Though I have been there couple of times before.
One has to go to China Gate if you want to have Chinese food. Being a vegetarian. First of all they have have a good variety of both veg & non-veg lovers unlike other chinese restaurants whose main preference is non-veg.
Both the restaurants are huge with numerous tables but you might not get a table on Sat & Sun. So, start early.
On the starters, I dont miss the crispy thread paneer, they are the best.
Moving on the main course I prefer schezwan noodles and I tried this time the Paneer in deul sauce and it was worth every money.
The portions are filling unlike 5 Spice which gives portions that either you have a big stomach or you have to pack it for home.
The ambience and the staff is courteous too with air-contioned too powerful for the guys who wants to take their girlfriends for chinese at China Gate, kindly tell them to carry a shawl or jacket as they feel cold most of the times.
On the whole, a very nice experience every time I visit.

Soapy noodles and gooey vegetables
After watching a great movie at Fun Republic, we decided to hit the China Gate nearby for a quick Sunday lunch. We decided on steamed veg suimai, veg talumein soup and a veg clear soup. The clear soup was excellent with some chinese greens and celery. The talumein was high on vinegar and a sweetish taste that didn't score with me.
The steamed suimai, while they were delicate and filled with veggies, the raw corn flour that the vegetables were coated with, were sticking to the mouth, spoiling the experience. I find it quite funny that every so called Chinese restaurant in Bombay finds its own versions of 'Chinese' sauces to go with the starters. This one had finely chopped coriander in sugar syrup - and a bhel kind of tamarind chutney which would be enough to throw a real Chinese chef into fits.
The main course consisted of coriander pot noodles, which looked highly appetizing and green, with lots of green vegetables, but one fork down and i realized that something was just not right with them. The noodles were overdone and gloopy, plus tons of baking soda added to the dish to retain the green -ness of the coriander sauce and the green vegetables. We all know the secret of a pinch of soda to retain the colour of greens, but please don't use soda as the main ingredient! I came here for food not for cleansing my stomach with soap! The mixed vegetables were in another corn-starchy red sauce that the server highly recommended, leading me to think it would be one of their specialties. Sadly, it was just another sauce that i wrote about earlier....lots of red chilli powder, minced garlic and cornstarch.
This along with a couple of fresh limes came to 1000 bucks. It has been a while that i felt so ripped off for eating poor quality food and thought of all the fresh ingredients I could have bought for that sum.
Anyway, lesson learnt, we wont be going back.
Service was ok and another negative is that the non smokers have no choice, the whole restaurant is open to smokers, so be ready to inhale the smoke if you go here.
I would have given this place one star but the extra star is for the good clear soup.

Not-so-chinese Chinese
Like most 'Chinese restaurants' in India, this place too was disappointing in that the cuisine really isn't authentic. That's a huge dampener considering it costs so much and that most of their outlets have prime locations.
This three level restaurant can seat at least 100 people at a time comfortably. The seating and decor is pleasant and the washrooms are surprisingly well maintained. However, the staff and waiters aren't well-versed with the Chinese palates and can't do a thing for you if you're looking at customizing a dish.
You may want to avoid the crab here. At least it wasn't great the time I tried it. What you'll probably like is the Thai prawn curry and steamed rice (But then again you can't go too wrong with that).
