Great Wall Restaurant

Great Wall is a pretty solid local Chinese restaurant. It’s important to note that it’s takeout only so there is no indoor seating (that is why I gave the atmosphere a 3). The food is good and it’s a good value. If you get a combo meal like I did, it comes with rice, and an egg roll. For takeout Chinese food, it’s really solid! Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for some quick Chinese food!

I’ve been wanting to try this place ever since they opened, on namesake alone. But I’m very glad I did. The food was excellently made, great portions for an affordable price. The cashier helped me practice my Chinese, and the food was ready in no time at all. I got the Kung pao chicken and the almond chicken. And the egg roll! Oh so good… Nothing but good things to say about this place. You get a family style feeling, and many will say nothing beats home cooking.

I wonder how many of us have ended up here for the same exact reasons. Hear me out. You're out of ideas for dinner, nothing sounds good, you google Chinese food, realize how outrageously most places are priced, and you click on the link to order here because it's the cheapest around. Not sure about you, but that's how I ended up here, but it's not why I keep coming back. I should also mention that I have only ever participated in carry out from here, as I am sure most do as it is very small and congests easily if too many people end up inside. Truth is, it's not like me to choose the cheapest of anything (this was my wife's idea) because I am a firm believer in getting what you pay for. However, despite being the cheapest place around, the amount of good reviews that surrounded this place had me thinking that maybe, just maybe this place was some sort of hidden gem where quality met cost in the exact type of way we are all in search of when it comes to just about everything. The other element of this that plays a super important role here is that I was in search of a very specific dish, that this place had on the menu for a very reasonable price. Sweet and Sour Pork (perhaps you've heard of it). A container of those little deep fried pieces of what you hope is pork that you dip in that sauce you gotta use while it's warm because as it cools it starts to coagulate into some sort of jelly like entity (so delicious, yet so strange). I had this vision in my mind of how it was going to look, smell, and taste, and it was everything I was anticipating and more. It's for this reason I may be a bit biased. It's also why you might become a bit biased if you can also find just what you're looking for here. I honestly am not sure how a place like this survives as it's literally the cheapest place around. Perhaps it's because somehow they are able to undercut everyone else and offer quality Chinese takeout at a super reasonable price. Regardless, I didn't ask questions and frankly it would have been a bit difficult to do so with my face and belly full of that sweet sweet deep fried goodness. This has been my go-to spot since I stumbled upon it, and I foresee it being that until they raise their prices. Hopefully that is never, but I will of course respect the hustle if that time comes. Cheers!

Very mediocre food. My take out Lo-mein and hot sour soup both had a mild ‘eggy smell’. Also I got an egg shell in the soup. Seems they are taking shortcuts in preparing the food. Not careful enough. Not going again.

Absolute trash!!! Small portions and cheap too. I just ordered the Kung Pao w/ scallops. They gave me 4 scallops. A TON of peanuts and chopped vegetables. Everything tasted terrible. They suck. Sharing a picture. Trust me, it tastes way WORSE than it looks, and that's not saying much! Also, this dish has peanuts, WHOLE peanuts. Thank God I don't have a nut allergy. It isn't listed on the menu. Run, don't walk to a different restaurant.
