Great Wall Chinese Restaurant

I want to support this place, but it's not great lately. Their version of chow mein is a goopy mess that leaked all over the bag. The gentleman there said not to look at their online menu, it's wrong. So why not take it down?

If you want fresh food, great tasting and expertly prepared, all for a an affordable price and fast service too, you must go to the Great Wall in Great Barrington. I drive from Connecticut at least once a week, for the best tasting food around. I've eaten there for years never had a bad meal. Mike is the owner and ensures my meal is always the best, as he does with every order. Great amount of food too, I've never left hungry ! Great Wall is #1 in my book !!

I liked this place, and found the staff friendly. If you're looking for a fancy or hip place, go elsewhere. This is more like a takeout place that has 4 or 5 tables. But, it was exactly the type of place this New Yorker was looking for when eating on my own on a recent road trip. It seemed like other reviews here were expecting too much and simply chose the wrong place, so I decided to write this review. I ordered their tangerine chicken (what I normally call orange chicken) and white rice. Since it's such a small place, the food comes out piping hot. It was delivered to my table before I paid. The dish was tasty, and left a slight spicy hotness after eating, all good. The vegetables seemed fresh as well, and a decent sized portion of white rice. It's served on take-out containers, paper plates, and plastic ware (yeah, get over it, this works fine). I was there when it started to rain, and the older guy there (I assume owner) was nice enough to tell another customer he left his window open. I had purchased a drink I half finished, and I didn't want to dump half a Monster can in their trash and told the owner I was leaving it. His response was "you can stay, finish it, no rush". While that goes without saying, I think it was nice of him to invite me to stay. Again, if you're looking to impress a first date with a restaurant, I wouldn't pick this place. But I would have no problem coming here on my own, with friends, or family, and having a cheap meal over good conversation.

I had really great take out from here. I was super happy with my order, they were nice, speedy, and everything tasted really good.

I ordered my meal. All I wanted was a hot dinner honestly. I got home and the rice was incorrect. I paid an extra $5 for what I wanted. They gaslit me on the phone for 9 minutes and insisted that the food was right but the writing on the box was wrong. All the food is ice cold and I do not have rice I like and want to eat. I'm so upset I spent over $50 on food that is literally garbage now. I will never ever return.
