Gator Suyaki - Gainesville

Best Chinese food in Gainesville by far. They have legit Chinese food also American-Chinese food. All taste great and worth the wait.

This restaurant is hype for Chinese students in Gainesville. Many of the students love this place because the taste is close to home. I also like it too because the chef brings the good Szechuan cuisine here. They just have regular Chinese dish, they also has individual hot pot and as the result this restaurant call Suyaki. I was here to try their main dish. I got the Special House Garlic fish filet. The fish was fried with coating. The garlic sauce is wonderful. It go well with the rice. My second dish is the intestine dry pot. This dish is great. It has the Szechuan pepper corn with great spice. The dishes portion is reasonable to share among friends. The service is attentive. The chef have great skill. The food from order to deliver to table is less than 10 minutes.

In town for a business trip and was craving Sichuan food and glad I stumbled upon Gator Suyaki! I stopped by around 5pm and I was pleased to get quick service. I 'm not sure how busy it gets later in the night but there seemed to be plenty of seating. The menu is very extensive and is sure to please anyone since they offer authentic and American Chinordered the Spicy Sichuan Wonton for my app and the Chongqing Chili Chicken for my entree. The wontons were tender and nestled in a delicious chili oil based sauce. I was worried the chili chicken was going to be dry, especially because I ordered boneless, but the chicken was perfectly cooked despite being a sauceless dish. I can eat pretty spicy but I felt like both dishes had the perfect amount of heat whether you can barely handle spice or snack on ghost peppers. Portions were very generous and I had more than enough to take away for another delicious meal. Stop here and here only for the best Sichuan Chinese in Gainesville! I came here again and had to wait more than 30 minutes for my food and the restaurant isn 't even full. What a bummer because the food is good.

Located at the end of 13th street near Willison Road, Lovter is a truly authentic Chinese restaurant that exceeds expectations. Despite its run-down exterior, the interior is a pleasant surprise. The daily specials are displayed on a small chalkboard in Mandarin, adding to the dining experience. The Asian-themed decor, including artwork, sculpture, stained glass, and chopsticks on the tables, immerses you in the culture. The enticing aroma of the food serves as an appetizer in itself. The prompt greeting and seating by the server was appreciated, with only soy sauce, a napkin, and chopsticks on the table. The service was excellent, with my drink and appetizer arriving quickly. The sesame chicken, rice, and spring rolls were all delicious and left me looking forward to my next visit.

Oh Gainesville, how I've missed you! This restaurant is a family favorite! We try to venture out and find new places to eat but we always end up here. We have been coming here since 2014. As a lover of authentic Chinese food, Gator Suyaki never disappoints. For starters, I always enjoy restaurants that have a turntable so I can eat everything with ease. Today, I went with a group of 10 people so I had to be careful and pace myself because I would end up in a food coma. If you think I like food, oh boy, you haven't met my family. We ordered the following items: Appetizers: Veggie dumpling must dip in soy sauce otherwise you won't taste much because veggies were bland. I like the crisp on the outer edges of the dumpling itself, which I always look for. Shrimp dumpling did not try; heard it was ok Sesame balls did not try; tastes like it should apparently Entrees: Chongqing Chili chicken Crispy boneless chicken with spicy sauce. It is loaded with a ton of red chili. A little dry today but good overall! Very spicy so it is not for the faint. My husband loves spicy food and he really enjoyed this dish. Mongolian beef I love how savory this was. The meat was tender and juicy, I noticed a charbroiled flavor so that was a nice little surprise. Topped with a generous amount of caramelized onions. Mei fun noodles My 2 yr old devoured this dish. For me, it was pretty neutral. It wasn't bad or good. It was your basic thin noodles with shrimp and veggies. Shrimp Fried Rice Tastes like take out Chinese fried rice... except it's fresh lol. Fish fillet Fried fish. Nothing too special, I enjoy fried fish any day. Hotpot tofu and fish MY FAVORITE! Fried fish and fried tofu drenched in sauce with veggies. That fish still has me drooling. Imagine fried fish sautéed in your typical asian sauces: soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc but once you bite into it you wonder... how in the world did they make this taste so good!? It's still a mystery to me. Garlic sechzuan eggplant lovely dish! If I went vegan again, I could eat this all day! Sweet, spicy, savory..yum! Duck cooked to perfection, no sauce needed! Very tender and juicy. Not too salty which is a common problem I have with duck! This one is just right! Food is great, service is good. Gator Suyaki, until next time!!!
