If I had one small note, it would be that the customer service could be a bit more friendly. That said, they are always kind and respectful, just a little reserved. Anytime I have family or friends visiting from out of town, I bring them here and without fail, it becomes one of their favorite spots too. They always ask to come back because the food is just that good.

Was looking for a Vietnamese restaurant since I was craving pho and came across this place. It's…read morelocated in a small shopping plaza with plenty of free parking. Walking in, they had plenty of booths and tables that can accommodate both small and large groups. You order before you sit down, and they also have a self-serve water station. We tried the Egg Rolls (3 pieces) and Dumplings (5 pieces) for appetizers, and for our main meals we ordered the Beef Stew Soup and the Glass Noodle Chicken Soup. The egg rolls and dumplings were crispy and flavorful, and the sweet and sour dipping sauce paired well with both. I actually thought I had ordered the beef pho, so I was surprised when the beef stew came out but that was completely my mistake. It ended up being a pleasant surprise because it was hearty, full of flavor, and reminded me a lot of sopa de res. The Glass Noodle Chicken Soup was much lighter, with a clean, comforting broth that made for a great contrast to the rich beef stew. Both soups were generously portioned. The customer service was friendly, and the food came out fairly quickly. Overall, I had a great experience and look forward to coming back to try more items from their menu.

The restaurant was clearly overcrowded, and instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner became rude and disrespectful. The owner repeatedly complained that they were overwhelmed and couldn't handle additional guests. Rather than providing good customer service or communicating respectfully, he turned customers away and made us feel unwelcome. Eventually, we were asked to leave despite there being available seating when we arrived. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but there is no excuse for poor customer service or rude behavior toward paying customers. If a business cannot manage being at full capacity, it should have a better system in place rather than taking frustration out on guests. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Local mom and pop shop, I new from the moment I walked in, I was in for a treat. Great menu with a good variety. I must warn the portions are family style so just be prepared for that. They do have lunch and dinner specials available at certain times for single meals. We tried the orange chicken, Mongolian beef, veggie chow mein, fried rice and some egg rolls and pot stickers. I must say that the orange chicken and veggie chow mein were the stars of the night at a 10/10. The beef, egg rolls and fried rice were good at a 8.5/10. The pot stickers were ok at a 7/10. Service was great and on point. Super appreciated the gentlemen who served us. He checked on us regularly through out the meal and genuinely asked if we liked the food.

They truly delivered.

I've been coming to Great Wall since before I was even a teenager. They've been around for decades, and I'm genuinely glad they survived the pandemic. It's also nice to still see some of the older staff around. They've always been very kind if not amazing. Back in the day, the restaurant used to serve chips and dip with jasmine tea at no charge, but those days are understandably gone. My husband and I usually like to order the egg flower soup, orange chicken, fried rice, and beef and broccoli dishes. The portions are still generous, and the prices are still great, which I appreciate. But sometimes the food itself comes out bland, or the soup tastes like it has been sitting around for a bit. We've never gotten sick from the food just to be clear, but the quality and flavor are not always as consistent as they used to be. We still love coming here because this restaurant has such a special place in our hearts, but it is sad to see how much it has changed. Even the interior feels outdated now, and the color and atmosphere seem like they've lost some of their old spark. Overall, Great Wall is still meaningful to me, and I'll probably continue coming back from time to time, but I do wish the food quality and atmosphere felt more like they used to.

Think Panda Express but better in every way! Pretty much the same menu as panda but the food tasted fresher and better, there was more of it and it was less expensive. The service was fast and friendly too! It looks like it may be run by a family, I like that! A family run restaurant usually cares more about the food and service than someone making minimum wage in a franchise restaurant where there isn't a lot of incentive to care. If you like Panda Express you should really try Dragon Garden if you are in the area. read more
