Sandgate Chinese Restaurant - SANDGATE

I used to go to this Chinese takeaway all the time I honestly forgot why I stopped frequenting this place, until tonight The food is fine..

Found the food here to be quite bland and it will be a long time before I bother to go back, if ever. I'm not sure if the chicken was real chicken or not.Perhaps I chose the wrong dishes (5 of them). I gave an average rather than poor overall score because the Special Fried Rice dish was ok and the service was good. Normally with takeaway you have some left over for the next day but in this instance even though there was heaps of food left I just threw it away.It was a very busy takeaway (even though there is seating no-one was eating in) so obviously there must be repeat customers. I wont be one of them I'm sorry to say.

We have been getting takeout from this Chinese restaurant for over 20 years! We always order the same dishes and are hardly ever let down. The spring rolls are fantastic, the fried rice is delicious, and the crispy lemon chicken never disappoints. The prices are very reasonable, and the takeout meals are always tasty. We don't recommend dining in as the atmosphere is lacking, but the takeout is excellent.

I noticed that several people in the kitchen were rolling spring rolls without wearing gloves, and they frequently wiped their noses and faces with their hands. They also moved the trash bin around without washing their hands, indicating a lack of proper food handling practices. When it came time to pay, the owner told the young lady to take care of my bill, but he insisted I still pay for the spring rolls in cash, despite them being off. I ultimately paid using EFTPOS but did not receive any discount. The owner should make sure that all of his employees adhere to food safety and other regulations. I will not be returning to this restaurant due to the poor treatment I received and the subpar quality of the spring rolls. Disappointing.

The restaurant does not make an effort to create an inviting atmosphere for diners. There is a general sense of uncleanliness. Upon returning home and opening our takeout, we discovered a fly in our meal. When we called to complain, we were informed that flies are unavoidable and that they cannot prevent them. Although a refund was offered, we chose not to accept it. Additionally, the absence of an Eat Safe rating displayed is concerning.
