The noodles were thick and juicy, holding onto flavor with every bite. There was a little too much soy sauce on the plate, sure, but not enough to take away from how satisfying it all felt. The white rice, though, was the surprise. Simple, but cooked perfectly the kind of side that doesn't try to steal the show yet somehow does. It's easy, affordable, and hits the spot without trying too hard. The kind of place you come back to when you just want a good plate of food that delivers.

Liked that they threw in bean paste for that pungent Umami.

It's extremely quiet inside with bright white lighting so it's not much on ambiance but the food is fantastic and the service is great as well. If you're staying at the Best Western, this is just a quick jaunt across the street to the neighboring parking lot. Good food is a little sparse around here, so this place was a great find! Conveniently located for those that are headed home from the Renaissance Festival too. I highly recommend the Kung pao chicken, chicken lo mein, and the salt and pepper chicken. Tender and flavorful meat, and everything was well seasoned. One last note - they have booze but none of the hard stuff. It's a beer and wine joint only. Thanks for a great meal, Great Wall!

Super small and messy location too. I like the Lins in Phoenix, which is why we stopped. This place charges much more, gives you much less food choice for that fee, plus bad food and no ambiance.

Two "BIG" Issues Now…read moreto be fair ...... our waitstaff at the table were great, always checking on us. NOW! Avoid Lin's at all costs. First Clue: We went to front desk to pay before we were seated and had a question about the bill. Cashiers comment? I have no idea, I just punch the buttons, and the machine says what it is, nothing I can do about it. Asked to speak with a manager and was advised none were on site... What????? Two: Everything was exceptionally greasy, over-battered, and tasted like it sat under a heat lamp for hours. Fish was barley cooked and soups were watery. The "spicy" mustard was just yellow mustard with zero heat. Fried rice? Bland, oily, and loaded with frozen peas/carrots that were still half-frozen. I think Lin's Grand Buffet may have had its day and is on the way out. Save your money on this one. On the plus side there was plenty of parking, which should have been another clue.

The Suchi Bar. Big selection.

Holy crap!! This is absolutely the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I ordered take out, about $40.00 worth. The only thing that was really edible were the "angel wings". The Hot & Sour soup had far too much sugar in it. It was neither Hot or Sour. Beware diabetics! The egg rolls were extremely greasy yet tasteless. How they do that is a mystery. The Orange Beef was so tough we could not chew it. We threw it away. I'm really not sure what kind of animal they used for meat but it certainly did not taste like beef, I'm really afraid to find out. Also the orange beef is waaay too sweet...just like the hot and sour soup. I guess in order to give the food some flavor they use sugar.. Yuck! read more

I inquired about the server position posted and was told they don't hire old colored people... I'm 33 I have plenty of experience. The manager said in broken English I had to asked her twice because I couldn't understand her they only hire young... 16 or 17... Discrimination at its finest I will never return to spend a cent at this establishment. Absolutely Disgusting read more
