Cheap Chinese food .... Worth the price you getting for cheap food... if an Togo box cost the same price why not eat it with service and different food

Neighborhood Cantonese restaurant situated in a little strip mall. A small restaurant which has a lot of take-out orders but sufficient number of spread out tables to suit your party of 1 to many. Serves comfort Cantonese food like Dry Beef Chow Fun, Diced Chicken and Salted Fish Fried Rice, Peking Spareribs, Beef Stew with Tendons in a Clay Pot, etc... We had the three item (pick from a two sided menu - you might need to ask for the menu) meal for $31 which is your choice of items along with a bowl of house soup (diced pieces of protein, bones, and veggie clear soup). We picked: - Fried Fish Filets and Fried Tofu in a Claypot - Peking Spareribs - Beef Stew & Tendon in a Clay Pot All three dishes were tasty and met our expectations. Decent portions and our table of three men finished all except for the Beef Stew which I took home. The items came out in the order listed. Rice is extra on the $31 menu and since we were carb watching, we asked for only two bowls which were more than enough. Like any restaurant, there's a larger profit margin on rice similar to drinks and fries at a fast food restaurant. Definitely will go back to try other items.

I walked in early on. Friday night & ordered take out. Just starting to get busy with both take out & dine in. Waited less than 15 minutes, exactly how long she said it would be. I was excited to eat there again so though I have a pic of my chow mein, the egg rolls didn't make it! Lol I got black bean sauce chicken chow mein & veggie egg rolls. It was REALLY delicious. There were onions, zucchini and green bell peppers in the chow mein & I forgot to ask what they put in it because I would have said no peppers but I just removed em! Easily enough for 2 at $17 (3 egg rolls/order). You MUST try if ever in the Manor area of San Leandro, worth every penny. There is an off the chain pizza place at that intersection too & I only mention it cause how lucky am I to live just half a mile from such DOPE food places!?

The portion of food is very small. I ordered beef stew pot. You can tell It's not fresh cooked. The service is awful. They don't give you menu for each person, I have to get it myself. They also forced you to pay them high tips. No fortune cookie. Don't go there again!

Are you kidding me... ? Agree w Rose L.'s review more rice than entree dish. Went in yesterday (Sun.) @ 2:30P & ordered Kung Pao Chicken from their Lunch Special Menu. Was shocked in the minut/diminutive amount in a portion served along w rice. I feel they used only a min. amt of zuchinni (@ most the small cubes made up from 1/10 portion of an avg Italian squash, 4 small slices each of celery & onions at best) about 6-7 peanuts, no carrots or other veggies, anything else, minimal sauce. Kung Pao Chicken. Sorry no photo available. No fried wonton skin or small egg roll or even small soup w the order. Soup was extra, I was told. As Rose L commented no soup was given for her takeout order, but I had a sit-down @ table order. Also no fortune cookie, no small orange slice, either. That's really stingy. Profit margin must be high for this business. My grandfather owned & ran a Chinese restaurant & I even worked there w my Mom waiting on table. I find it embarrassing that Great Wall would even put that small of a portion of food howbeit a lunch special on a plate & honestly say that it sufficient even for lunch. They need to to be ashamed of themselves. They operate like they are an a shoestring budget in service, prep & attaining ingredients. We are not under Covid, were some eateries were scaling back, service & sometimes food. I didn't come in being on a diet, I'm not a large person... I have a small & normal build & am a senior requiring only reduced daily food intake, but truthfully this is substandard & well below the avg amount of food in a lunch special just about anywhere else to can go for a similar sit-down off the menu meal. Food quality was just okay, but they don't prepare the Kung Pao Chicken like everywhere else, no chili peppers or red chili flakes, it was not hot, just plain... it's supposed to be spicy. Not lying here! If you are anything otherwise for a std-size Lunch Special Meal... I recommend you go somewhere else, you'll come away hungry & unsatisfied if you choose this place. Maybe someone can comment on the 3 item special menu portions, as well, given my poor experience w their Lunch Special items...

This place is somewhat of a hidden gem in terms of being in the San Leandro area. It's not in a great location but the food and value you get from it is spot on. Must try the 3 dishes for around $30 deal. Worth it imo. I think the only really thing I would improve is the outdated atmosphere. The carpet gotta go and the wall paper too.

Great Chinese food at affordable prices. No frills. They do good American Chinese food, combo meals, and Chinese specialty dishes.

This is a real hole in the wall spot, when I asked for steam pork pattie they ask me what type of dried salted fish I wanted , real authentic when u keep 2 types on hand. I saw the 3 dish item combo was a deal. Food brought some good home cook memories, service was good. Ambiance need a fresh coat of paint but to keep prices low, don't paint it, leave it old dark and dingy. For what I ate I would have paid double in Castro valley. This is my go to hole in the wall spot for some Chinese food.
Ordered takeout lunch, Mapo tofu over rice. No soup or fried wonton with takeout now. Seems like your and old guest, you get less and delivery is slow. Their is more rice than entree with lunch entrees. Mapo needed more spice(not hot enough).

My boyfriend fav Chinese place shutdown during the Pandemic so I took him here. We order one of the Cantonese lunch for 2. He loves egg drop soup, sweet and sour pork and fried rice. I know he was hungry b/c he ate the egg rolls. It also came with almond chicken. We ate everything but the chicken which we took home. He loved the fried rice! Note: No cash accepted.

My friend highly recommends this restaurant's three items combo to me, so I tried it the first time. I picked the following items Pan Fried Flounder Beef Stew Salted Fish Chicken Rice All of them are delicious! The combo comes with complimentary soup for $28, very affordable in nowadays economy. Highly recommend.

Introduced to this restaurant by golfer for our 19th hole. Good Cantonese food. They have special 3 item menu so we ordered 6 items from special menu. Every dish was very good. No MSG so really liked the what we ordered. We also ordered 2 orders of the Fried Won Ton Soup. Service was very good and waitress was very friendly. It was after the lunch hour and so it was not real crowded. Great new place for us to eat after a round of golf.

Ordered food by phone, they told me 25 minutes. Got there 10 minutes later and asked if the food would be ready in 15 minutes and the lady told me 25 minutes. An hour later I got my food, no apology, no discount. Terrible organization, lazy workers, and rude. Food is probably 4 out of 5 but the rudeness is too much for me to return.
I liked the food here.Vegetarian options: You would have to ask restaurant or look up menu.
Atmosphere: 4
Food: 4
Service: 5
Recommended dishes: Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken Fried Rice
