Editorial Review for China Gate Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The space is brightly lit, with jade-colored chairs and a floral carpet. Painted metal squares on the ceiling display a Chinese dragon-phoenix design. Diners can select their own shrimp, crab, lobsters or fin fish from separate tanks; each is weighed and priced before being whisked off to the kitchen. The dim sum menu features more than 100 items, including honey-glazed sea bass, steamed chicken with ginger-oil dipping sauce and dried scallops.

When I started going to China Gate for dim sum 5 years ago, it was great: yummy food, friendly service, good prices. The last two times I went, I was grossly overcharged, one time had to wait at my table more than an hour to get the basic dim sum items (ha gow, cha shu bow) - while they were being served in the other aisle! - while repeatedly being offered chicken feet and steamed broccoli, and was treated rudely by most of the staff. It seemed there was a middle-aged woman running the operation, whom I hadn't seen before. I imagine she has taken over management of the place and doesn't like white folks, or something, but I will not go there any more for dim sum. There are lots of places in the ID to get it, and I don't need to pay way too much money to be mistreated and not get to eat.
Pros: the dim sum is good, if you can get them to serve it to you
Cons: seems to recently be anti-non-chinese: poor service, overcharged

First of all, the place is a bit dirty for me. I do not like the atmosphere at all! The dimsum selection is limited, not much to choose from. I have been to several yumcha or dimsum places in hongkong. So far this is the worst dimsum place that I ever been to. Me and my husband are still on the hunt for the best dimsum place in seattle. So far, Top Gun is BEST! :) Genie of Seattle
