Absolutely loved the food and 70s style ambiance! ...from its Mandarin Beef to Its crackling soup...which actually makes the sound given fried rice! Went to Colorado Springs for the first time to meet up with my grammar school best friend from St. Aloysius school in Newark Nee Jersey of all places! We had not seen each other for 47 years!!!!!!
Let's face it... the staff are inconsistently friendly there, but the food is always fresh. At least the goldfish seem to acknowledge and appreciate your patronage. But seriously, I really like the food! The soup is good and the combination plates are very well seasoned (and, yes, hardy, too). Sidebar: My only recommendation is to avoid the bathrooms. They tell the age of the building.
I really like this place. Wasn't very busy during lunchtime, so it was quiet. The exterior of the building is kinda offputting but inside the atmosphere is nice. The food was great. For $6 I got a huge plate of general Tso's chicken, rice, a fried cheese wanton, an egg roll, and a small bowl on soup. The lady serving was super friendly. My best experience so far.
As a colorado springs native, I been going here for years. The food is always fresh and great tasting. When dining in, the same lady has served me for years and she's always pleasant. The atmosphere is always quiet and enjoyable... yeah the building is a bit old, but the food and staff are great!

Love the atmosphere and the food here. The price is reasonable also. I eat here often..
So i ordered delivery because it was to cold to take my toddler out and the lady that answered the phone (i could tell it was the chubby one with short hair) was rude and when i did the math they charged me more than normal cost and when the guy delivered my food i handed him a $20 and he didnt even try to give me change just walked away... for that i dropped from 5 stars to 4 stars.
Best Chinese food in Springs by far! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Dragon Gate by chance after a long hike. We were starving and excited for Chinese food and boy did this place deliver! The food always comes out HOT and FRESH and the staff are always so friendly. It’s quiet and cozy, and although the building is older, I’ve always felt comfortable at the restaurant. If you are looking for a restaurant with delicious food and generous portions at a great price, this is the place for you!
The staff at Dragon Gate know me on a first name basis. In the eight years of getting takeout at least weekly, they have only made a mistake on my order once. For a solid dinner on a budget with generous portions, this is a definite go-to. They have been in business for more than 30 years and show no signs of slowing. Nice folks and tasty, MSG-free food.
Quite, clean, courteous and amazing portions for a great price. Could be different when more people are seated? But having nearly the entire dining to our self was superb and food tasted quality. Sesame beef for the win!
I eat Chinese delivery at least once a week and spend easily at least $40 at a time. Yes, it is a lot of food for the money. I am not kidding! I live close to three Chinese food restaurants all of which deliver. This is by far my favorite of the three! When they take my order over the phone they are always polite and quick, efficient. Always repeat my order back to me to ensure accuracy. I am always a bit disappointed when I'm told how long it will take to get my order. It always seems like a long time, however it has NEVER taken as long as I am told. It often arrives in half the time and always in less time than I am told. I am always grateful for that and therfore tip the drivers well!☺ I find the food to be outstanding! I am yet to order something off the menu I didn't like. I frequently order dishes I have never tried before. Some I like better than others, but they are always delicious.
I love this place. Has the best tasting chinese food in the springs. I've been going here for years and the parking lot is the weirdest but the service is the best. The waitress is so friendly and LOVES children. I used to take my kids here when they were babies and she would keep them entertained while I ate, which was a blessing considering two babies are a handful for a single mother just trying to get a decent meal in. Every other Asian place serves mystery meat and bland fried rice but not this one. My favorite is the sprouts and flavor of the fried rice and how sweet the waitress is to my children, always making the experience special for them. The fried cheese wontons are always made to order and hot and flavored perfectly. The egg drop soup thick and flavorful and full of veggies. I've never had a bad experience in 5+ years of coming here. I hope this place stays around for a long time.
