    Wow, I never knew you could go wrong with Chinese food! I walked in on a weekday (Wednesday afternoon) saw their neon sign that stated they had a buffet, upon walking in there were zero customers (I felt bad for the owners at this point and wanted to support their business) I should have followed the warning signs, the buffet they had set up was so mediocre. The Lomein looked so dry and all their dishes were had such a small amount in the hot containers as if they knew they wouldn't have a single customer, it's as though the food was left there all day like that or potentially longer. Despite these signs I still decided to order, I ordered two combos and it was around 1pm so should have been lunch pricing. (Approx $6 each) I ordered two and my total came out to $19! That's the most I've spent on Chinese in a long time! For just two combo meals. Yes I did substitute lomein instead of fried rice but wow I was shocked at that price. When I received the bag it was very heavy, I was excited! When I got home I realized it was quantity over quality unfortunately. The "bone less pork ribs" were so chewy and visibly appeared to be freezer burned that I did not eat even half of the serving. The lomein and fried rice were the only decent items as the general Tso's followed the same direction. Very chewy and old tasting, more breading then chicken. Overall we ended up not even eating more then 25% of our food it was simply inedible, the only things that were even close to being able to be consumed were the fried rice and lomein. I will never be going back to this establishment and would never recommend it.

    Pretty good , decently clean , little bit of a language barrier with cook , but the Kung po chicken was spot on ! Very good!

    I was there a total of about 40 minutes and I saw the staff bring fresh food to the bar at least 6 or 7 times.

Everything I've ordered has been good - I like their Chicken & Cashews and Beef & Broccoli. Service isn't bad, although you'll find yourself competing with their voluminous call-in orders;). Good take-out as far as I'm concerned!

    Recently moved to this area and sudden Chinese food cravings struck. We decided to try different…read moreChinese places to determine which will be our go-to. This evening we went to another location but were so put off by the hole-in-the-wall appearance and the unfriendly person behind the Plexiglas window -- not to mention the circle what you want on the menu and slide it underneath to her -- that we went to Great Wall which we intended to be the second restaurant we tried. Anyway, the wait was about 20 minutes from when we placed our order and we got take-out orders of Hong Kong Chicken and "kum po" which is what's on the menu. These were both combination meals that included pork egg rolls and pork friend rice. We had no complaints about the food -- it was hot and tasted great. I thought it was more oily than most Chinese food but otherwise fine. I had also requested the Kung Pao be extra-extra spicy but there was very little heat. The Hong King Chicken had pineapple, peppers, onions, broccoli and chillies in a ginger sauce and was great. I ate my entire meal; my other half was stuffed after eating half. Good food, reasonable price, reasonably quick service, and we really appreciated how friendly the person was at the counter -- she waved and welcomed us in when we arrived -- versus the grumpy looking person who ignored us at the other place.

Total came out to approximately $43 (not including tip). What's hot - Menu. Pretty good. There's something for everyone, possibly even vegans. I'm uncertain whether they have vegetable broth, but they have options that are vegetarian. There's pho, ramen, rice, curry, meats, and tofu. - Quality. Pretty good. The chicken karage was not overly breaded, crispy, had a nice flavor. Lt was not overly salty and served warm. My tofu miso ramen was not overly seasoned, which I appreciate. One of my pet peeves is when noodle soups are too salty, because it detracts from what the natural flavor should be. My miso ramen had a nice seasoning. My husband really enjoyed his red curry. He said it had a slight kick of spiciness with a slight taste of sweetness from the coconut milk. - Portions. Pretty decent size portions to get you full, not stuffed. Good value for money. - Location. Centrally located in downtown around other shops and restaurants. What's not - Service. Among the 4 in our group, 3 of us had something wrong with our orders. My ramen arrived with no tofu. When our friends received their orders, it was completely wrong (I.e., they were given someone else's order). There were also mistakes in the dishes they actually ordered. Given all the errors, everything was delayed and took longer, which was frustrating. - Payment. You're expected to pay your tab before actual service, which includes tips, as well. Hubby and I aren't fans of that, especially given all the mistakes that our group encountered. - Parking. Since it's downtown, it's mostly timed and metered parking in the area. - Time. They close at 8pm. Our group was the last ones in the restaurant, which surprised us. As such, I asked their staff what time they close. When they responded 8pm, I asked them if our group should leave. The staffers told me that my group was ok, which we appreciated. However, we didn't stick around. Just be prepared that this is not a place you can continue to hang out in. Final answer Willing to return, but not a first choice.

    The restaurant is small with some communal tables.  Parking in downtown Carlisle can be challenging.  Be sure to check the hours.
