Great China

My husband and I have been wanting to try more local restaurants. We googled Chinese restaurants in our area when we were in Albuquerque. The Great China restaurant came up. The reviews weren't too bad, and we decided to give it a shot. We entered and were immediately greeted and given a seat. The interior wasn't very appealing to look at. The floor boards were lifting, boxes stacked everywhere, and chairs could definitely use a good cleaning. Below is a picture of the booth I was seated in. There were several people eating and a lot of people who came in for togo orders. The servers were very nice. As for the food, it was really good. They started us with egg drop soup. It was good but was too goopy. I ordered the sweet and sour pork and the fried shrimp with fried rice and an eggroll. The servings were huge. I loved that each fried item had its own flavor. It didn't taste all the same as one would think with so many fried items. We didn't care for the eggroll as it was only filled with cabbage. My husband ordered the peppered beef and sweet and sour chicken. The sauce on the beef was really tasty. My favorite was the flavor of the sweet and sour sauce. The fried rice was OK, I liked that it wasn't overly saturated with soy sauce. But it would have used more vegetables, and I could barely find the egg. All in all, it was a pleasant surprise. Cost was very reasonable.

It was really good. You get egg drop soup as a starter. I got combination plate G with lo mein noodles. The pork was good it had a sweet and savory sauce, had some carrots onions, and cabbage. The egg roll was good, but the crust tasted like a sopapilla, giving it a slight sweetness.

Ordered chow mein, and did not have noodles. Just bean sprouts and cabbage. Kung pao did not have much flavor and no peanuts. . The egg drop soup was just a clear thick liquid…and the fried rice was almost regular rice with a couple carrots and peas…maybe 1 piece of egg. Probably worse Chinese food I’ve ever had…

I've dined here before a few years back and remember when it was really good! I went today and was very disappointed in our food. The rice was mushy and flavorless with a few peas and carrots,. The egg rolls were inedible. The chicken wings were also inedible. The only saving dish was the cashew chicken which was OK at best. Great service though. Waitress was great. Food was not.

Man and I really like it here and ordered alot but not anymore the foods kinds went down hill and I keep going cause it's hit and miss but today is just a no more for me !
