Golden Gate Restaurant, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Family Style Restaurant Details

Food:

The food here is incredible. The B/L Bbq ribs are the best I have ever had. You can tell that the meet was sliced right off the bone. The General Taos chicken is the most delicious combination of crispy and sauce. The sauce it self is perfect. It isn't so spicy that you can't eat it but you can still understand while its advertised as hot. The sweet and sour chicken makes me wanna weep. They have found a combination of crispy outside and still light and fluffy inside the chicken is ag as in brilliantly cooked. And the sauce is great. The only tjing that needs changing is the fried rice. I cant quite tell what it's missing but it needs something. Anyway overall though this store deserves 5/5 the management is very kind remembers uou when you come back. And is ok overall nice

I will think twice before I ever go there again!! Everything was arranged: I discussed the menu with the chef-cook Ella, ordered a birthday cake from her and left a deposit. My biggest concern was that that there was enough food. The chef assured me that there would be more than enough. On Saturday morning I called to confirm that there were going to be 10 ppl. However, they messed up. The food that I ordered was never served. I even discussed with Ella what type of cake I want for the Birthday guy! But we did not get the cake!!!!! How come??! If we did not have our own cake, that would have been a disaster. The bottom line: mediocre food, OK service, and horrible management. They did all they could to f... up the birthday party: forget about the cake, put unopened wine bottles on the table (literally, I had to ask 3 waiters to open the bottles), ignored my preferences regarding the food. I can say my guests were not happy - I would not be happy!!! I went to Samarkand a couple times - it's great there!!! Music, food, service!!! Never-ever let GG ruin your party - go to Samarkand instead!!!
