First time ever going here. Hidden gem. They had a great lunch special for only $14.99. I got the Mongolian beef with friend rice. Very tasty and fresh. No msg was added. Great place to go to for great Chinese food. Service was very fast and efficient. We got seated right away and given water right away. They brought out our food very quickly. The lighting was perfect. Super clean restaurant. The restaurant is a little hidden. very spacious for a time place. They can sit big parties.

Excellent lunch! Clean, fast, and really good food. Kung Pao Chicken comes with hot & sour soup, two wontons, and white rice. Nice proportions. Tea comes in a metal cup that keeps it hot for a very long time. $11.99 lunch makes it very affordable. Open since '99, I'll be back. Nice Job!

I've lived 3 minutes away from this place and barely tried it! So glad I did, it was delicious! We got the chow mein with shrimp and veggie fried rice. They serve it family style so two plates were plenty for two of us! The service was quick and friendly. Definitely coming back again.

Very good place to grab some popular dishes. Hot, fresh tons of flavor. Owners are lovely people. Well worth it. Wish they were open for lunch. Covid screwed that up and they have not recovered fully.

We've been ordering takeout from here for quite some time now and we're always satisfied with our food! We typically order the vegetable fried rice, beef chow fun, and vegetable egg rolls. The beef chow fun is delicious and very flavorful, the beef is great in it. The fried rice could use more seasoning, we typically have to douse it in soy sauce because it's pretty bland without it. Great service! The lady on the phone was very sweet tonight when taking our order and even threw in some free hot and sour soup.

Great Wall has been a Go To place for our family for 20 years. The food is consistently good. The service is always fantastic. We have come to know the owners and those who succeeded them in operating the restaurant. They watched our kids grow up and now, we theirs. Our kids went from Lemon Chicken Tenders to exploring the menu. The food is always 3.5 to 4 and they are happy to adjust the menu for you. Beef Chow Fun instead of chicken - not a problem. Broccoli Beef with a kick - just ask. Nice people, good food and good prices.

I was greeted and seated as soon as I walked in so I was impressed right away it was busy tables were even reserved and for the size of the place there is about 9-10 tables very small intimate place. That did not take away from the great service and good food. The orange chicken wasn't my favorite I expected more orange flavor. Fried rice was my favorite over chow mein which was good but not very saucey at all. I loved the Mongolian beef they have a full menu so I'll have to adjust some of my order next time. If you're in the mood for good mom-pop shop Chinese visit here!

hot sour soup is very good, 10/10 recommend. service was very friendly and quick. only down side is that the restaurant is quite small so they can't hold multiple large parties but for the quality of their food and service I would trade that over everythin.

Nice, cozy restaurant. The food was good and tasty. What I liked the most was the service. As soon as I walked in, the server was very attentive and nice. She really made sure we were taken care of. I accidentally dropped my phone and it went under the table and she quickly offered to get someone to get it for me since the space was very small. My son got it though. When we left she gave us a calendar as well. I was very pleased with my visit.

This just isn't good food. We ordered wonton soup, generals chix and chow mein. I couldn't even eat the soup at all. I've been eating Chinese take out for over 30 years..and in several cities. This goes down as some of the worst flavor....or lack of it. It was a mix of bland and salty ( no ginger or Shaoxing wine). Bummer.

I travel almost 10 miles to eat here...good food and prices are OK. Friendly staff...actually smiling!

Spent $50 and waited over 1hr for my food. Then, the chicken was overcooked and the mongolian beef was salty and also overcooked ? and so was the rice. Too much water? It was a bit frustrating since it was my first meal the entire day and it was already 7pm. I wish them the best.
