Great local restaurant. Service/delivery is awesome. Food is always on par! Enjoyable appetizers.

This review has nothing to do with the food or service that I received from Great China restaurant but with Yelp. I always Google Chinese Restaurant Near Me and it led me to a Yelp page featuring Great China's menu. So I mistakenly placed an order. The first red flag was the prices of the menu items as they were all higher than what I was charged from other times that were ordered here. The next thing was there was no offer of coupons which offers additional select items for free depending on how much you spend. Finally, when I paid for my order it was unusually high. There was a service charge, tip, service charge and delivery charged to my order. My order came to $73.06 for 3 items plus 4 egg rolls including all additional fees. I spoke to the delivery man and I told him that I placed the order from Yelp and he seemed surprised. He recommended that I should phone in my order from now on. I know it was my fault for placing this order from the Yelp site but I'm writing this review so others should be aware that Yelp is the middle man and are grossly overcharging for this restaurant's food and service. I would have given this review zero stars but they required one to post. read more

My favorite Chinese takeout spot in the Madison area. Nothing fancy, just consistently great food and seriously some of the best egg rolls around. read more

Owner is super nice! Best egg foo young in Madison and they give you freebies if you reach a certain amount on your order. Always super fast and food always tastes fresh read more

I usually get dinner delivered when I'm on an overnight shift, and they always nail it.

Another night with beef fried rice, first time trying this order hopefully it will be as good as the rest!

This is our go-to place for Chinese delivery. The food is consistently good and the delivery service is impeccable. Seriously, everyone who has delivered has been so incredibly nice. And the food arrives quick and fast. We've never had bad food from here. And love the egg rolls!! read more

Don't get delivery lazy butts. Don't call for pickup. Walk in. Order like a normal person and take your shit to go. Not only will you be treated like a real customer not some random dude getting food. You know like when we were kids and you k we the lady at Subway? And she'd always hook it up with extra cheese cause you were there for 3-4 mins being nice cause you'd actually go to the spot and get your food. That being said. Fresh Rangoon's from here are amazing. I'm from the west coast and idk how but we don't have Chinese like this. I've been told there's better Chinese in Madison and I believe it. This place you can't dine in and is kinda raggedy but it's a mom n pop Chinese restaurant what you expect? It's old not dirty...haters! Next time go to the store. Look in the bag and...Doi , they made a mistake and forgot rice. Who knows they might throw in some extra Szechuan sauce. 5 stars y'all. read more

I ordered king pow chicken and received a $15 order of undercooked carrots. There were a few peanuts and virtually no chicken read more

Don't come here for crab rangoon!! It didn't have cream cheese OR crab. I'm not sure what's in it but it looks like nasty icing. I get skimping on the crab, but what the hell?! This place is a dump and the food is bare minimum at best. They also charge a surcharge for cards. 3%. The food isn't worth the surcharge FYI read more

Every time I work in this side of Madison I like to visit this place. Just a small place that is primarily a take out and delivery. Not a nice place at all, but the food is always good. Except this night. Mongolian Triple Special. Beef, chicken and shrimp. Though I requested it with beef only. Very dark looking when I played up at home on top of a bed of plain white rice. No color to speak of. Green onions were cooked to the point of sogginess I can't recall ever seeing before. The regular yellow onions were over cooked, they looked like the way you'd get them in top of a burger, very caramelized and soft. Too soft. Cooked to virtually zero bite. The meat was similarly over done. Huge disappointment. I also always order a wonton soup. Very bland and I'd guess this isn't a chicken stock. A bit dark for chicken broth, may be beef, though it doesn't actually have enough flavor to be sure. This might be a bullion, I'm not certain, if I made this at home I'd fix it before serving it. On the positive, the wontons are very tasty now that it's cooked enough to try. In the past the foods been much better. Tonight if this was a first visit I'd be hard pressed to try this place again. But I know I'll try again. read more

The chicken in the dishes we ordered was very chewy, like the ligaments and leftover parts of chicken you usually don't serve. The texture was gross so we didn't eat most of what we ordered. We are ordering pizza now instead. read more

When I get this from my favorite Chinese place, I love it. Today-bland, tasteless. I'm hungry & so disappointed. read more

Excellent food. Best fried rice, so tasty, and packed with fresh meats and veggies. Quick efficient service

Told me 15 to 20 minutes took 35 did you have to stand outside in the cold food was pretty flavorless

Very fast delivery! We were looking for some delivery options on NYE, and we decided to give Great China a shot. They delivered the food faster than advertised. They said about 45-50 minutes and they were here closer to 30. The egg drop soup was pretty good. Thick consistency, good amount of egg bits. We ordered a tofu garlic dish and a chicken broccoli dish and were disappointed to see that they were basically the same dishes sauce and veggie-wise just with different proteins. Both dishes were not terribly impressive. Both sauces were a little too sweet for my taste and could have used some more peppers or other flavorings. Overall, mostly a standard cheap take-out/delivery fare. read more

ordered delivery today. got the chicken with mushrooms and they didn't give me any rice. Really??

Consistently yummy food and fast delivery. We order it at least once a month. I'm a fussy vegan and love their curry tofu, and their veggie fried rice (ordered with no egg) is worth getting a quart so you have leftovers, because it's even better the next day. My kiddo, just as picky but not a vegan, digs their shrimp with mixed vegetables and we always get a couple of veggie spring rolls to share. read more

Pretty mediocre. Don't expect anything, then you won't be disappointed. Not recommended for eating in, they'll bring your meal in delivery boxes and plastic silver to your table. read more

Abysmal atmosphere. White fluorescent lights, sad vinyl booths where you can watch the fish tank of turtles swimming furiously around, wishing THEY were on the menu so they could just stop swimming already, a self-serve water pitcher in the cold case containing canned sodas. Menu/food: Sadly subpar, even for Midwestern Chinese food. Sesame chicken was breading lumps with sketch meat inside (suicidal turtles?) and an orange sauce that wished it were as good as Panda Express's standard, Orange Chicken, egg rolls that were more skin than filling, and pork lo mein than tasted only of salt. The basic flavor of all dishes was... SALT. Maybe those are sea turtles...? In short, this place is like Pong (with a broken screen) when what you want is a Nintendo 64. read more

I finally found interesting vegetarian sushi options!! I honestly can't comment on any of the Chinese cuisine here, as the last 3 times I've been I've gotten the same thing: seaweed salad, the peanut & avocado sushi, and the sweet potato tempura roll. I've really liked them each time. Great taste, pretty fresh. The interior isn't great, but I think this place is meant for delivery & take-out. Really nice people. Reasonably priced. read more

The food is excellent arrived on time couldn't be happier!!I think everyone that likes Chinese food she come and check them out

This place is solid. Gotten delivery a good handful of times and it hasn't disappointed. They have a slick ordering site, the portions are ridiculously huge, and they literally are ringing the doorbell in like 20 minutes. I've had Culver's take longer and Great China brings it to my house. read more

I think myself pretty patient, but enough already. I ordered delivery.The food came on time, but it was more expensive than it should have been for lunch specials- so clearly I was charged full price. when I went to sign the credit card receipt I crossed out the tip line, planning on tipping in cash. The guy took the receipt out of my hand and before I could pull cash out of my pocket said "no tip? I am loosing money coming here!?" Is it just me or is that really rude? After all that the food is only OK- I ordered the chicken and garlic sauce with fried rice. The rice was too salty and there was barely any chicken. The vegetable lo mein was OK. I will not order here again. read more

Good and very cheap for both lunch and dinner. Best cheap chinese food in the area! Crab rangoon free with lunches. Bought dinner for four people, lo mein noodles, chicken egg foo young, chicken fried rice, and general tso's chicken, and it was less than $30 bucks. read more

I'm not a total snob. I lied, I'm kinda a snob, particularly about ethnic food. The most ethnic thing about this place is the name, it's that bad. I would have been quite confused even if I were not a snob. Long story short, chow mein with no noodles. WHAT? I have never in my life heard this. Chow mein literally means "fried noodles". I ordered shrimp fried noodles and got grocery store frozen shrimp on saucy lettuce with rice. Best part of this meal was the mountain dew. Don't judge me for drinking Dew either. This was my work lunch and the sugar/caffiene combo kick in the face was a valid need. I think my egg roll committed suicide. Just now. I'm totally eating this food as I write this and I'm only becoming more and more convinced that I ordered this food as some sort of punishment. The fact that it's this bad and I'm still eating it tells me I need to see my therapist again because self-harm is wrong. read more

egg roll was greasy and had an odd taste and the chicken in my chicken fried rice was undercooked. this was my first order and I will never order again. just awful read more

I love this place. For cheap, no-frills American-style Chinese food, this is my absolute favorite in town. Every dish I've had has been solid, and I've been ordering from them regularly for going on 5 years now. To be clear, the stuff on the menu is not even close to what real Chinese food tastes like. As far as I know, they don't even have a Chinese menu, so if you want authenticity, this is definitely not the place. But you know how sometimes you don't necessarily want a filet mignon, you want a burger? It's like that. For something more authentic, try Fugu on Gilman. But if American-Chinese is what you want, this is the place. read more

Awful service. Ordered online. My card was charged. Waited 2 1/2 hours for delivery. Called multiple times and told "we busy". Recommend avoiding this restaurant. Never got the food read more

I ordered from Great China last night and had the worst food ever. I ordered general tsao's chicken and house special friend rice. The food was delivered 40+ minutes after the order, was barely warm and had little to no flavor. I am also pretty sure the rice was old. For $22 dollars this was no where near satisfactory. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again. read more

I used to order takeout from Great China all the time. The food is good, and so are the prices. However, I'm giving a low rating because I had back-to-back experiences where my food arrived much later than they said and the food was cold. Both times I was told that my food would arrive in 45-50 minutes, but it didn't actually arrive until after I called back 1-2 times and an hour and a half or more had passed. The most disappointing thing is that even though they knew I was a loyal customer, they didn't do much to remedy the situation. Since having these experiences, I've decided to vote with my dollar and take my business elsewhere. read more

1) Where's the meat? These dishes are all veggies and sauce. Completely disappointed in the quantity of the meat! 2) is this meat? Or is it rubber? The struggle is real. Completely disappointed in the quality of the meat. 3) what are these flavors? Salt and ginger for the chicken with cashews. Salt and ginger for the beef in oyster sauce. Salt and ginger on everything and way too much of it. read more

Fried rice is very dry and the General Tso isn't really spicy. Portions are pretty good size. Never had them mess up my order which is good. Delivery is on part with other places. read more

This is definitely a place you would want to go for carry out or delivery only. There's a few tables inside, but no atmosphere whatsoever. That being said, we order from great China on a fairly regular basis and find it to be consistent. They have never messed up our order and normally say 30-45 minutes for delivery, but it ends up being more like 15-20 minutes, which is great. Delivery is free ($10 minimum order) and they always have coupons on their menu for free crab rangoons or fried rice (depending on how much your order was). I've heard that other Chinese restaurants in the area tatse better, but they are also a bit more expensive. I'm not a Chinese food connoisseur, so for me this is just fine and I have no complaints! read more

I've been ordering from this joint since 2005 and honestly- I love it. I used to live right near it and just ordered out of convenience but I've moved away now and any time I'm coming through the area I love to grab something. We just had the Beef & Broccoli tonight and I love that it had thinly sliced carrots in it- excellent veggies (along with TONS of broccoli) and delicious meat. I pretty much stick with Beef & Broccoli and Cashew Chicken anywhere I go (I am a creature of habit and I fully own that...I like to enjoy familiar things). And these guys? They got those nailed. The place itself is nothing fancy but the staff is nice and the food is great! read more

live on the north side such a food desert anyway ordered chicken cashew for pickup. Tons of food enough for two meals the chicken was minimal as was the cashews the sauce was non existent guys throw some fresh ginger and garlic in your sauce maybe add some 3crabs fish sauce in the end food was ok sauce no good easy fix by bumping up the sauce read more

Just... meh. Less greasy than Chang Jiang, but not as good as China Inn. Pretty run of the mill, average food. Decent delivery time.

It's more Carry out place, I order large Hot and Sour soup with mushy pork for lunch. Soup was good, lot better than most of Chinese buffet in town. Mushu pork skin for rapping was only 4 sheets then every edge corner were dry, pork was candy sweet. I hope Wisconsin state governor don't try here. read more

Very predictable and never had problem with orders. Egg rolls, fried rice and pork Lo Mein are good and Order frequently. Just had chicken chop seuy and found to be tasty and not overwhelming. read more

Terrible customer service, food is okay but not great. I ordered chow mein which is a fried noodle dish and their food description says "with white rice and fried noodles." Instead, I got a chicken and cabbage dish in some sort of soupy sauce which tasted gross. I called to ask about the mistake and they said they sent the right dish and there are no noodles in chow mein. Umm... google chow mein and see what comes up. Even then, their own description says fried noodles, but they wouldn't admit they messed up! Refused to give me a refund for the dish or acknowledge this was their mistake. Their website still says fried noodles and I have pictures. The other food was okay. Terrible experience, do not order from here. read more
