Garden Gate Restaurant - Toronto

Sad to report a negative experience but also businesses who don't look after their customers don't deserve to stick around. We placed an order for delivery which arrived pretty quickly but turned out to be missing a dish (one which we really wanted and which had definitely been ordered as the lady on the phone checked if we knew it contained peanuts). Called to get it sent out and they asked if we were sure we wanted it as we hadn't been charged for it. We said yes and delayed eating, thinking it would turn up within about 30 minutes. Got a call back 20 minutes later to say it would be another 40 minutes, at which point we reluctantly turned it down so that we could eat the rest of our meal. The food was okay, nothing special.The bottom line is that they made a mistake and they did whatever they could to avoid fixing it, leaving us regretting giving them our business. Not a place I will ever go back to.

I’m not sure how anyone can give this place a bad review, we have been customers of theirs for at least 15 years. We order Chinese food for special occasions. We have never been disappointed once. The food is always delicious, it’s always hot, always fresh and delivery is always quick. We particularly love the lemon chicken. The lady who delivers the food is my favourite, she’s always so friendly and nice!!! If you want good old fashioned Chinese this is the place for you.

We 've been going to the 'Goof ' for years and always enjoy the experience. The food is good and the service is friendly and very welcoming.

For anyone looking for a good restaurant in the Beach with good service, prices and food thid is a good place to gom

They offer free delivery within the beaches area, but be prepared to wait 3-4 hours. I stopped by the restaurant while running errands and was told the wait time would be 30 minutes. I asked if they could deliver it for free, and they agreed. I expected the food to arrive at my friend's place (just a block away) by the time I got there, but it took nearly 4 hours. We had to call multiple times for updates and never received a clear answer. When the food finally arrived, it was cold and reheating it didn't improve the taste. The quality of the food was also questionable, with chicken balls filled mostly with breading and very little chicken. It's disappointing that the restaurant's standards have declined over the years, especially since it used to be a great option in the neighborhood.
