Dragon Gate

Thirteen of us went to Dragon Gate in Pembroke Pines, and they actually had a huge round table that fit all of us—super convenient! We had never noticed this Cantonese restaurant before, probably because their online photos make it look like a takeout spot. But a friend said it was amazing, so we gave it a try—and it was such a nice surprise! We ordered a ton of dishes. The spicy fish was bold and full of flavor, and the bitter melon with salted egg was crispy and super unique. The roast pigeon had crispy skin, the stir-fried beef chow fun was nice and chewy, and both lobster dishes were delicious. The crispy pork made that satisfying crunch when you bite into it! Almost every dish was great, and the service was really friendly too. Definitely worth checking out!

Visited for lunch. Pictures of my bill and the fatty pork serves at my table. ***The last picture is the one taken by someone else who review this restaurant and I screenshot and posted for reference. Her pork platter was much more presentable, ours was laid flat in a row without so much as a leaf with all the fat in a long row. The only aspect that was pleasing to me was the presence of the waitresses at all times. The food was bland and the crispy pork was mostly fat and it cost $18.95 prime prices but pork mostly fat. I don't ever write reviews unless I am really upset. The main reason for this review is because of my dissatisfaction with the standard of service. The waitress took my leftover food to package in the back whilst the 3 other customers where packaged at there table.WHY????? I have a problem with my food leaving the table. The other customers were served oranges at the end of the meal and my husband and I won't. This is not about money but about businesses aspiring to be more professional and valuing there customers. I will never eat there again or recommend this place all because of not treating all customers the same. ALL customers should be treated equally! I felt a level of unfairness since the other customers were of a certain ethnicity and we obviously weren't. Discrimination is real and all business places should be sensitized to this and ensure that noone feel wronged. Come on you all do better please. I am so glad for the 3 Chinese restaurant I patronize and receive tasty food and the my oranges at the end. First and last time at this place.

This is amazing Chinese Cantonese foods,Almost every dish was delicious, and the service was absolutely excellent!

Perfectly cooked Cantonese style cooking. We need more places like this in Miami. Excellent attentive service too.

I am going to start this off by saying this place blew the roof off of my expectations. From the outside it looks very ordinary , and honestly the inside does too , but… The service was extremely prompt and polite ; The food was in front of us before we even finished ordering, it was hot and flavorful . The price very reasonable for Pembroke Pines . 5/5 will come back

Dear Management of Dragon Gate, I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding an experience my daughter and I had at your restaurant last night. I have been a loyal customer of Dragon Gate for over twenty years and have always spoken highly of your food. It has been one of my favorite go-to restaurants for takeout and Uber Eats orders. I even had the opportunity to attend one of your Chinese New Year celebrations years ago with former Mayor Ortis, who often spoke highly of your establishment. Unfortunately, our recent visit was extremely disheartening. It was the first time my daughter and I decided to dine in rather than order takeout. From the moment we were seated, we noticed a clear difference in how we were treated compared to other guests. As we observed other tables being set for Asian patrons with elegant dishware and beautiful, colorful hardcover menus. It became painfully clear that we were being treated differently because of our appearance. My daughter and I felt humiliated, unwelcome, and deeply disappointed that such behavior would occur in a place we have long supported and admired. We were given paper takeout menus instead of the hardcover menus that other patrons received. Our table was set with paper napkins and a small, worn bowl containing fried noodles and dipping sauces, while other tables occupied by Asian patrons were provided with white China dishes, tea cups, and cloth napkins. When I asked our waitress why we were not given the same menus, she replied that the hardcover menu was for “authentic Chinese food.” I explained that we had come to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine, yet we were still not offered the same service or options. Her limited English prevented further discussion, but by that point, both my daughter and I felt uncomfortable, singled out, and discriminated against. It was deeply hurtful to experience this type of treatment, particularly in a place that I have supported and recommended for so many years. As a customer of Hispanic descent, I felt unwelcome and disrespected, and it was painful for my daughter to witness such unequal treatment. Last night, however, was my first time dining in, and sadly, it will be my last. I am sharing this not out of anger, but out of disappointment and concern. No guest should ever feel excluded or treated differently based on their appearance or background. I hope you will take this matter seriously and ensure that all your staff provide the same level of hospitality and respect to every customer who visits your establishment. Thank you for your time and attention. I would appreciate a response acknowledging this issue and any steps you intend to take to prevent this from happening to others.

Great service and super friendly, the food is fresh and full of wok hei. The roast duck is a must order, the best roast duck in Miami is right here.😋

The last review I did for this staple of a restaurant was about 5 years ago. I've been patronizing this authentic Chinese restaurant for almost 20 years. Now it is under new ownership. I walked in to a newly renovated restaurant. I only asked that the quality of the food remain consistent. So I ordered the half duck and mix soup. Had not had the duck for 3 years. The Duck was so tender and juicy. Well cooked served with white rice. My only disappointment was the sauce was too salty to eat and add to the rice. The mix soup was a bit different. It didn't have that clean look and taste. But it was very good. I used to love the bok choy and shrimp. So I will be back. Still friendly and respectful service.
