    Fried Rice

    Hard pass. You can tell a lot about a place by the way the food looks. They DO NOT clean and devein their shrimp. That's shrimp POOP under the fried shrimp batter. Disgusting. I've also never had yellow fried rice before. Usually soy sauce makes it brown. It was dry and flavorless. No thank you $10 to throw it away. The Diet Coke was cold though. The decor hasn't been updated since the 80s.

    The Great Wall - A great place to eat despite the Plain Jane exterior

    Good food and owners are very nice people. It is nice to have another option in our little town.read more

    My review: don't eat anywhere if your health and well-being is overshadowed by the desire for…read morewhat's on your wallet. That's where health risks begin, corners are cut. And.... Don't make a mistake in ordering. My experience? Bottom line, the stress of extended pandemic restrictions must've really impacted the Chinese lady at this eatery. If being treated like an actual person is important to you, consider avoiding this place. Why? Longer story. Have a minute? I'm in advanced heart failure. I can't eat Chinese. 2 weeks ago, I had heart surgery to install a device to assist my left ventricle to beat. I left the hospital day, due to pandemics and my desire to be home. I was 24 hrs post discharge, lots of pain. I wanted to do something nice for my exhausted family. They'd all been struggling with the rather stark reality, the worry concerning my dying heart. My bright idea? Chinese food. I used my Google Home unit to voice dial "the Great Wall in Rushville." That's Rushville, INDIANA, as we've done before. I placed an oddly shaky order with a lady I couldn't understand. When my daughter went to pick it up, they couldn't find the order at all. Just then, the original Chinese lady called to ask where we were. I asked my daughter where she was.... It was like the three stooges. It didn't take long to understand the problem. 304 miles of distance, thanks to an honest mistake in voice dialing. She was in Rushville, ILLINOIS. I tried to explain to the Chinese lady. She. Freaked. Out. Yelled (although I couldn't understand a word.) Hung up with a slam. Called again. "You come get order." The language barrier was to much to overcome. The lady became pretty rude, hung up again. My heart moniter went off, and the service called. Meanwhile, she yelled at my voice mail. Her son called shortly after, a pleasant young man. He explained they'd received many prank orders in the recent past ~ why anyone would do that, I can't understand. I didn't prank them. It was an honest mistake. I felt miserable. The cost of a simple meal was now equal to my electric bill, as my daughter had reordered in Indiana. I did offer to pay something to cover the cost, said I needed to wait for finding myself, gave my email address to (and responded to) the nice man. He said 'if you can pay part of it, that'd be great, ' and sent me his venmo via email as requested. I kind of hoped they'd offer an idea of what covering this cost would be, given it was most likely staff consumed with I'd asked for it to be donated to a local medical or police person on shift. Nope. Fast forward to today: Another voice calling on my phone, this time asking for my credit card number with security code (uh...no), sounding like I'd intentionally skipped out after dining.... another anxiety moment that causes chest pain. Today's call sealed this for me: I'd have paid it on my own. It's finally pay day. Instead, I'm being harassed. Therefore, I'm reviewing how this $78 meal resonated with my family. It didn't. Chinese just lost its appeal. I don't believe in supporting negative behaviors, people or businesses. This fits both those genre. Reguardless if I am a 'dial & dash' or not, I'm certain that my humanity is invisible to this lady. I am not to blame for others choices to interfere with thier business, that's a local problem hundreds of miles away. I'm sorry that Google dialed the wrong number. I'll file a complaint and the log that pieces of was voice dialed in a smart home device. I'm sorry that a language barrier caused a miscommunication. I'm sorry that, even knowing my story, this lady only cares about money: even wishing a me a good recovery is to costly, it seems. Here's a fortune cookie for the angry Chinese woman. "I hope, in the future, you can find it within yourself to be a little kind when a person makes an honest mistake. Especially one who, until two weeks ago, had a life span measured in months. Karma's a real bitch." What I'm not sorry about? After today, I'll never hear about this place again. #DramaByGoogle #NotMyKindaPlace

    Some of the best Thai I've had!…read more We were in the middle of a cross country trip, looking for dinner. Review looked really good so we decided to give it a try First, this small downtown restaurant is beside the theater and easy to miss. There was no apparent sign. On entering, it's clear the owners are taking COVID restrictions seriously. Every other table has a sign not to use the table and everything is very clean. We were served promptly and our waiter anticipated and provided everything we could ask for. We shared spring rolls which were beautifully prepared and presented, fresh and delicious. My husband ordered Seafood Pad Thai and I had the Drunken Noodles. Both were excellent. The portions were such that we'll have enough to have at home tomorrow after a long trip. Be sure to give them a try if you're in the area.

    We both ordered the garlic chicken. The menu described the dish with snow peas, mushrooms, water…read morechestnuts, carrot and onion. Sounds delicious, right? However, it was mainly chicken and onions with a few carrot slices. Unfortunately, there were no snow peas, mushrooms or water chestnuts. It had good flavor, however my rating is lower because I specifically ordered this dish for all the vegetables and was very disappointed. The crab wontons were good and filling. The spring rolls were good, but they contained sliced chicken which we were not expecting. They came with plain chopped peanuts instead of a peanut sauce which was also disappointing.
