Quintessential Chinese-American food, full of refined starch, cooking oil and artificial colouring. People seem to love it! Granted, some of the dishes, like the Pekin duck, really were delicious.Service, no matter my food preferences, was excellent. Friendly, casual atmosphere that’s great for large parties or family meals.Also, it’s cold in here, so bring a jacket.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while but always remember when they are closed(Sunday and Monday). Finally got the chance today. I was the only dine in customer but there were quite a few patrons who had called in orders. The waitress was attentive and kept my water filled! I got the oyster chicken and cake noodles with a side of rice. Which is probably my only complaint, the meal should have rice included. All in all I enjoyed everything. Flavor was great. The food was super hot. Loved the hot mustard. Fair price for the amount of chicken and cake noodles I received. Recommend and will bring others here for sure.Parking: I parked on the street but there is plenty of parking available for customers behind the building.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, depending where you park. Lots of space to maneuver in the restaurant.

Found this place while we were passing through town to the Dole Plantation. It's a good quick meal; best part was they have their own parking lot in back.

Aloha Everyone! Got a new review for you today! My husband wanted to pick up dinner from Great Wall Chinese Restaurant, so I decided to order the Orange Chicken Plate with Garlic Fried Rice. I liked it well enough, very mild tasting, no strong flavors. Normally I like a more bold taste in my food but I wasn’t feeling well the past week so mild worked better for me. The chicken pieces were popcorn size, just right, I dislike huge chunks. The Orange Chicken was a tad bit on the dry side but they had a decent amount of sauce so it ended up being ok. It didn’t seem like freshly crushed garlic was used in the Garlic Fried Rice because it did not have a strong garlic flavor at all so depending on how you like yours, it might or might not be to your taste. Same goes for the Orange Chicken. Not a strong orange flavor. On the weak side compared to other places. The French Fries were VERY IMPRESSIVE which is funny because when my husband told me they served fries here I busted out laughing. I wasn’t laughing when I ate them though! I was shocked at how super super good they were! PERFECT in fact. Wouldn’t think to order fries at a Chinese Restaurant but if you like fries, do yourself a favor and don’t pass on these! They seriously blow 95% of the competition in this area away. My Husband had the Black Pepper Chicken and an order of Fried Rice with peas and carrots. He enjoyed his meal. My mom had the Cold Ginger Chicken Plate. She said it was good. Sauce was different from the majority of places with the bright green so it depends on your taste. Very good service at this establishment. Really nice people and that always makes doing a review a pleasure. Mahalo for reading and Support Local!!!09/20/2023My Husband wanted Great Wall Chinese Restaurant last night for Dinner, and this time he picked the Kim Chee & SPAM fried rice. I could tell when I took the photos that he would be disappointed because honestly I didn’t see the Kim Chee. It was there apparently, you just needed to use tweezers. Order something else. My mom however, got the Large Order of Won Ton Soup and this was VERY satisfying for her. She enjoyed the vegetables along with good broth, and of course the won tons in there. There were TEN (10 pcs.) Of LARGE Won Ton!!! She was very very happy and said from now on this is where she is ordering from because she never saw such generous portions anywhere else. They also gave hot mustard too. I just ordered the fries because all day I didn’t have much of an appetite and I needed to take my meds so it was enough for me. I did however order dessert today. Deep fried Oreos for my mom and Butter Mochi for me. The Oreos got a thumbs up ? but I would pass on the Butter Mochi.12/09/2023Aloha! Tried something new on the Great Wall menu tonight. Tried their Mochiko Chicken with plain fried rice. Although I had much more flavorful ones elsewhere, I really liked the bit size pieces and it was cooked to perfection. I had my own sauce so it worked out fine. I liked the plain fried rice for its simplicity. I do not, sadly, like the peas, carrots or egg like they have in normal fried rice that most locals like. Sorry. Just me. I really liked the deep fried plain dough with honey dipping sauce ? very simple but made well. U can make any dessert you want from the deep fried dough if you don’t want to use their dipping sauce. Add ice cream with chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream with strawberries, or dunk them in coffee! I highly recommend you trying them ❤️ my husband who was nice enough to pick up our food tonight, tried their chow funn noodles with bean sprouts and char siu. He said it was good. As usual, their fries were awesome. Crispy and hot ?. Moms enjoyed her usual won ton soup. Mahalo for reading and as always, please support local!! ??

We ordered fried gau gee, char su, Deep Fried half chicken, and steamed veggies. Everything had great flavor. The Fried Chicken was so good I ate everything to the bone. The char su was perfectly cooked and juicy to my liking which they only serve on Fridays. Gau gee was crispy and delicious. The steamed veggies were delicious. Everything went well together and the 2 waitresses were amazing! Great customer service and 2 thumbs up????

My family and I really enjoyed the food. It was my children's first time eating Chinese food. I must first tSay I was thoroughly impressed with the cleanliness of the establishment. The interior walls, floor, ceiling, the furniture, even the exterior is neatly kept. It is obvious that they pay attention to detail. The food was also good. We ordered pickup. The food was ready exactly when they said it would be and how they packed everything in an appropriate size box for what we ordered made carring to the car and then the house easy. The wife and I agreed the serving size for the price was also good. I can't really say anything bad. If you haven't gone here and you are reading this review, I would definitely recommend this to you, for my family and I will be returning.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on ground level. Parking lot is behind the building with plenty of room for a wheel chair van, if need be. The restaurant has plenty of room to maneuver inside for any wheelchair needs.

Wish I came here a long time ago. Great food, clean restaurant, good service. Been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for a while. My neighborhood one shut down a few years ago. This one is it!

On my first visit to this restaurant, I had no idea it would be this clean. The parking lot is to the left of a light-green condo building where it seemed that the owners might live. As we walked in, we saw several open tables and chairs very well organized in the room and were soon led to a set of matching wooden chairs surrounding the round table with smooth, rounded edges and corners making it safe for a baby. All the decorations were extraordinary, including the centerpiece plant on the 'lazy Susan' glass rotator where we sat. An image of the Great Wall of China is masterfully painted on a huge porcelain vase and beside it were paintings of various scenes in China. On the opposite wall, a design next to a paper maché arrangement of silverware read 'Let's Eat!', so we promptly flipped to the vegetarian section of the menus we were handed. There are many great vegetarian dishes to choose from for those concerned about their diet. We started off with a couple of spring rolls with sweet Asian chili sauce. Then we had a veggie dish of garlic ONG Choy. We had a sizzling platter of eggplant and my date Lehua was impressed by how the chefs shaved all the rough skin of the eggplant to leave them so smooth and silky looking. We also had a bowl of brown rice served with curry tofu with peas and carrots. Overall, we had a great meal in a beautiful restaurant for a wonderful deal! Maybe the green attracts abundance? It definitely earned my review!
