    I love hole-in-the wall places like Great China Restaurant. It's not dirty, the place just looks really dated. Oddly, the ceiling had some amazing decorations, while the rest of the stuff could use some updates. The seating/booths were comfortable and clean. I had the lunch buffet after I drove up to Greg's for our jerky fix and was very happy with the food. $5.99 for lunch is a great price. I prefer buffets that have a small quantity of food and make sure that it all tastes great. If you're looking for 200 items on a buffet instead of about ten really well prepared items, then avoid this place. Everything was hot, made fresh, contained tons of veggies, and tasted very good. The crab rangoons were made just how I like them; bite-sized, crunchy, hot, and with just the right amount of filing. They had a ton of chicken dishes and I enjoyed all of them. Some of them I'd never seen before on even some of the larger buffets. I really liked the crunchy pepper chicken. Two people worked during lunch and were very professional, worked hard, and had smiles on their faces the entire meal. One employee was hostess, waitress, server, answered the phone, and cashier. My only suggestions/complaints were that there was only one eggroll on the buffet for my first trip and it looked soggy (had been sitting for some time), so I didn't get to try it. They did bring out some fresh ones that I saw on my second trip, but I like to start with the appetizers and then move main course. The soups could maybe use a little more salt. The hot and sour had ton of great veggies and tofu. However, just like the egg drop, they both needed a tad more salt. I noticed that they have take-out during lunch too. It was $5.86 (with tax) for a medium-sized polystyrene container. Overall, if I'm in the area, I will visit again.

    Just not good. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Help is not happy. Food looks unappetizing and is Luke warm.

    And for $9 for an adult dinner, this place is a STEAL.

    This is a great small town Chinese restaurant. Solid food, fair prices. The closest alternatives…read moreare all 10-20 minutes away and not worth the drive time. Ultimately, if we want Chinese, this is our location and we aren't mad about it. This is a place where you'll really want to order for pick-up, though there are a few tables available. It really isn't a dine-in setting, and that's fine by us. In the summer, you could pick up an order and go eat down by the river. We appreciate being able to order online (payment is in person). Today an item was forgotten in our order...it happens...and we called in and the missing item was provided without any trouble. I guess that is "expected," but it still feels like good customer service. As an added benefit, the entree containers end up becoming "left over" containers at our house until they wear out. Our orders usually include some form of orange chicken, General Tao's chicken, sesame chicken, lo mein, or fried rice, though most items on the menu are good and meet expectations for Chinese food. We're grateful that this store is in Prescott and hope that it remains here for years and years to come.

    The first thing you notice when you walk into this place is a strong smell similar to cat urine…read more Despite this we have given this restaurant several chances since moving into town a couple of years ago, and the service so outweighs the food it's not worth the visit. Every time I have been here they tell you 30 minute wait when you call or order online. I learned after two visits to always wait at least 45 minutes yet no matter how much time we give I always arrive to find out they haven't even started my order. They then proceed to say its "almost ready" and will be done in 10 minutes which always results in another 25 minutes sitting in the restaurant. Moving forward I will be making the drive to Hastings or Cottage Grove.
