My mother told me about Dragon Gate years ago and I tried it when they were still on Brookpark. At the time I was so so on it but now I realize it was because I was used to the strip mall Chinese takeout that I had eaten for years. Which is mostly complete trash.
Now that I'm older and have had a chance to sample the dying breed of actual sit down old school Chinese restaurants, I can fully appreciate this place. The food is A-1. Over the course of two visits my wife and I have tried the Hong Kong Chicken which is delicious, the sweet and sour pork and chicken, and governor chicken. Everything has been amazing. The fried rice is fresh and some of the best I've had. The egg rolls are another star but the wonton soup is hands down the best I've sampled in CLE. Our little guy loves it!
The restaurant has been tastefully decorated to the point that you can't tell it was a Pizza Hut. It also has a drive through window...how convenient is that? On our two visits the service was always friendly and attentive. I'm genuinely happy because we have found a great quality Chinese restaurant that's not too far from home. I'll gladly make the drive in from Brunswick to eat here. Thank you Dragon Gate!
