Fantastic, still to this day the best Chinese food I have ever had. Win Wang does have more options but the quality does not compare. Very nice service and would highly recomend!!

We love the food! The service is fantastic. I never order the same food item on the menu and it has always been terrific!

I always love eating there, might not appear the greatest from the outside but when you go in it’s COMPLETELY different, put together, neat and tidy, and amazing food. The workers are always super nice and helpful. Always a place I look forward to going.

My husband and I always try to stop at China Gate when we are in Shenandoah. My family have been customers for at least 25 years. They serve the best General Tso's Chicken bar none. I've tried it at a lot of different places and no one compares with China Gate. The same is true with their Egg Foo Yung. And their egg rolls. Their lunch buffet is smaller than many others but the food is fresh and hot. The decor is typical of all Midwest Chinese restaurants, but it's food is anything but typical.

Out of all the places I have had Chinese food, this one is by far my favorite! The food is so delicious and for a very reasonable price! The owners are always so sweet when I come in and basically know my order at this point! Definitely would recommend!!

Only 2 Chinese restaurants in Shenandoah Iowa. This china gate taste little better. They don’t have shrimp fried rice on menu but they made it fresh for me. I only have one complaint, shrimp were old and reeks of ammonia that’s all.
