    Triple garlic sauce,  chicken lo main, egg drop soup
    Les B.

    Went to get take out a couple of times, so far each time had been great and what was expected. There's a few different entrances and although it's not appealing to look out from the outside or while you're inside, the food is great! With both orders that we got each time it only took about 15 minutes to prepare. The first time we got Triple delight with a small side of beef lo mein, both were excellent! The next time we got triple in garlic sauce, chicken lo mein, egg drop soup, and shrimp fried rice. The shrimp fried rice was a little dry but everything else was again good. The portion sizes are good and adequate. The vegetables are the perfect crisp and the steamed rice is cooked just right. Busy place, good service, good food!

    Vegetable lo mein

    Great food and lots of options. Food was made fast and friendly service. Getting food here will be our new Christmas tradition every year

    Fried Pork Dumplings

    One of the best chinese take out I have ever had, my Boyfriend and I order lo mein and general so's from here practically every week. Service is amazing! Very minimal mistakes and they pack those containers for all their worth! If you want good chinese go here.

    Decent Chinese food but my chicken was pretty dry and didn't taste very fresh... tofu was better but not super flavorful. Overall okay local Chinese food but if you are willing to drive 20 mins away to Fu Kee for GREAT Chinese it's worth it.

    We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine: Parking: 4 Location: 4 Decor/ambiance: 1 Customer Service: 3 Dude... Lets start with the decor and ambiance... The moment you walk in the door the first thing you will notice is the menu pictures. They are all faded and you can't even see the images of the dishes. Those images are so faded you can't read anything on them. The front counter was cludered with all sorts of papers and 'things' on the night I visited. The staff member who took my order was friendly and helpful. They have great pricing. I asked for the veggie fried rice and it was good. It took the cooks about 10 minutes to prepare my meal. The menu had a title on it that said its from 2008 -- its now 2019. Other than that the food was ok, service was decent, just clean and update the place.

    Cockroach in Kung Pao

    Dead cockroach in the kung pao chicken take-out.... We ordered takeout that included Kung Pao chicken and a few other entrees and sides. Before finishing a portion of the kung pao, I saw a weird object lying in the slurry of chicken, veggies, and sauce. When moving everything away, a dead cockroach appeared. Of course, this resulted in a loss of appetite and disgust for everyone eating the meal. We called the restaurant to inform them and to ask for a refund. Their immediate response was to only refund the kung pao chicken entree. After we said that was unacceptable because who know what could be in the other food or the cleanliness of their kitchen, they told us to bring back all of the food in order to receive a full refund, which we did. When arriving and seeing the bug, they were nice and apologized. Hopefully we don't get sick from what we ate and there weren't more bugs were in the food. We did not look into the food further for more bugs.

    Food was fresh seasoned and hot. Been a long time since I actually had good food from a Chinese restaurant.

    The service here is not great... not even good, I've definitely had better but it's tolerable for the quick and easy Chinese take out food you want. On my most recent visit this past Sunday, I was actually surprised to be met with a "hi, can I help you?" from the woman behind the counter. Usually she's much more rude and to the point (by saying "what do you want?") but again customer service is not the reason you come... its the overly fried but cheap chinese food, which they deliver on. I would give them an extra star IF they stepped up their fried rice game. I'm always so disappointed with their fried rice being so bland and dry. Of course you can always mask that flavor with sauces, but that's not the point. Their General Tso's chicken is always consistent and good which keeps me coming back. I've also enjoyed their sesame chicken. Egg rolls are really crispy on the outside but bland on the inside, meh. To give an idea on their prices, the combination plates are usually around $7-$8; that's a meat, pork fried rice and pork egg roll. I'd say their prices are cheap in comparison to what's nearby but pretty average for Chinese take out. I've never ordered a drink but they have bottled drinks (no fountain drinks). Also, I would not recommend dining in... I noticed on this past visit, a bunch of raw garlic piled up on one table in the dining area with a bag and knife... Just laying there unattended. Pretty sure whoever was handling the garlic got busy and forgot about the garlic. But I'm left wondering if the garlic should even be prepped in the dining area?? Not sure about the story on that... But if you live in the brier creek area and desire the cheap and easy take-out Chinese food, this is your place--but don't expect more than your average experience or else you'll be disappointed.

    I ordered the pepper chicken lunch special and received something more... yes that's right. It was a nice chunk of plastic my kid choked on.

    When I went to Great China the other day, I ordered the pepper chicken lunch special. After driving 40 minutes back home, I sat down to eat my meal with my child. Next thing you know my kid starts choking on a chunk of plastic. Obviously we were upset and we wanted a refund. I called the place back and the woman starts stating that they go by Walmart's standards when it comes to refunds... so basically she wanted me to drive 40 minutes back for a takeout order when I had already thrown away the food. Like come on seriously... we were absolutely outraged. She never once apologized about there being a random piece of plastic in the meal. Never once did I receive good service even in the restaurant after I had already paid for my food the server asked if I wanted any sauces. I said I wanted white sauce and he told me it was 50 cents. Then told me I couldn't buy one or two because their card reader has a minimum. Like come on bro. Once again I was outraged. The meal sucked from the start to finish. Never eat at great China. By the way... I literally made a yelp account because I am so annoyed about this. Trust me.

He initially refused to remove the dish from my bill. After eventually taking it off, he told me that he never wanted to see my face again as I was leaving. What disappoints me most is that I genuinely enjoyed this restaurant and had been a repeat customer. The decline in food quality combined with the way my concerns were handled has left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

The first room features booths and an elevated seating section, while the second room has tables for larger groups. The decor is simple and traditional. The service here is still very good. Although I haven't gotten my favorite waitress during my last few visits, she made a point to come over and talk to me this last time. She even remembered my exact order and that I like it prepared without onions, which I truly appreciated! Unfortunately, the beef itself seemed a little rubbery. A few of the pieces were completely fine, so I am not sure whether the meat was just overcooked or had sat under a heat lamp too long before being served. The fried rice seemed better than ever, though, as was the eggroll. I think I will need to start trying some new vegetarian or alternative dishes here on my next visits to avoid the meat, as I still really enjoy the local atmosphere and excellent service.

I'd recommend parking a few blocks away and walking if you are unable to find parking nearby. Walking into the restaurant you'll be transported to a modern brewery, bookstore, and flower shop. It feels chic, Belgian inspired, and upscale. To start I ordered a Vase IPA which was excellent. I then switched to cocktails and ordered the Black Sesame Old Fashioned (bourbon, black sesame, black walnut bitters), the Dionysus (pinot noir, raspberry lemon shrub, chambord, amaretto, lemon, rhubarb bitters), and an aviation (hendricks, luxardo, creme de violette, lemon). By far the Black Sesame Old Fashioned was my favorite and what a nice touch with cracker on top of the dish. For food we ordered the Gai Lan (Stir-fried Chinese broccoli with garlic and oyster sauce), the Peking Duck (Whole, barbecued, free-range duck served with steamed bao buns, cucumber, scallions, and hoisin-honey sauce), Sweet Soy Chicken (Scallions, bell peppers, and caramelized in our ginger soy sauce. Served with jasmine rice), the Lo Mein Noodles (Stir-fried noodles with julienned shiitake mushrooms, choy sum greens, soy sauce, and shrimp), seafood dumplings (Lobster, shrimp, and scallop dumplings served in garlic and black mushroom sauce with fried Youtiao doughnuts), Chicken Curry Bao (Steamed buns filled with spicy yellow chicken and vegetable curry), the Beef with Longhorn Peopers (Sautéed beef, ginger, and longhorn peppers with Shaoxing wine sauce. Served with jasmine rice), the Xiao Long Bao (Steamed crab and ground pork soup dumplings), Nasi Goreng Crab Fried Rice (Traditional Indonesian Chinese fried rice with blue crab meat, Nam Pla fish sauce, house made Nasi Goreng sauce, served in an egg crêpe), and the General Tso's Chicken (Crunchy, sweet, and tangy, Bhavana's General Tso comes with your choice of chicken or tofu tossed in our house-made General sauce and topped with sesame seeds. Served with jasmine rice). By far our favorite food items were the seafood dumplings (excellent flavor, Chinese donuts were so good, along with the flavor from the broth), and the shrimp lo mein noodles (cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfectly distributed). Definitely check out brewery bhavana if you are looking for excellent Chinese food in the Raleigh area. This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

The dining room is huge, but the decor breaks things up a bit and makes your meal feel intimate. Everything is shareable, so I highly recommend visiting with fellow foodies who want to try a little bit of everything. Honestly the entire menu sounded amazing, and it was hard to choose! Thankfully our servers provided some excellent recommendations. The Pork Bao was probably my favorite bite of the night, and may very well have been the best Bao I've ever had. The Lap Cheung Fried Rice was also delicious, and I'm usually not a fried rice person! Also worth mentioning is the Lo Mein, which we ordered with chicken. We didn't stay for dessert, but all of their sweet offerings sounded incredible as well. I did try one of the beers they brew on-site, the Sow. It was light and sippable, and I appreciate their diverse beer and cocktail offerings. I can't wait to visit Raleigh again because this will be my first stop!

The employee described the mutton soak buns dish as a soup soaked pancake which is pretty accurate. It reminds me of a rice porridge but with chopped dough instead of rice. The restroom is in the back through the kitchen which is kinda cool because you can see them rolling out all the round flat bread that they use for the dishes. I'm guessing it's what they use for the rougamo (I've seen it at other Chinese restaurants described as a Chinese hamburger) and the shaanxi soak buns. It almost has a gnocchi type of consistency. It isn't your average fried rice and stir fry type of Chinese restaurant so if you're looking for something like that it might not meet your expectations. I would definitely come back to try other menu items. Also, get the plum juice. It's delicious!

    This place. THIS PLACE!…read more I don't know how I lucked into having two good Chinese restaurants this close together, but I am honestly not going to question it. First, this place has the best egg rolls I've tasted in the past 10 years. Crispy. Delicious. No extra residual grease or oil, and perfect spicing. Second, everything here is a cut above the other Chinese restaurants in the take-out category, and will unfortunately lower my previous favorite to a four star, on update. Third (And this is best part): They offer off-menu specials (like sauced wings), Thai dishes (like pad thai, and spicy basil with chicken), and Hibachi Steak and Chicken! All the good stuff in one stop. I ordered my usual test: Sesame Chicken platter with fried rice and egg roll. Fried Dumplings. And a side order of egg rolls. A couple things will hit you here, the first being the rice... It's cooked perfectly, and unlike any other you've had in the area: Soft, flavorful, with a bit of oil from cooking that makes it even more flavorful, but still NOT GREASY. There's some left-handed magic going on here, and I don't care to know how they obtained the secret. It'sdelicious. The sauce on the sesame chicken was light and flavorful, while keeping the chicken crispy.... And it didn't turn into gum after the chicken cooled. The dumplings were lightly fried, and sauced with what I think was a sweet and sour/fish sauce blend with scallions. Amazing. Not the usual dark, soy sauced based dipping ingredients. The egg rolls: I mentioned them earlier. 10 out of 10. The true test - LEFTOVERS. Ate all of these the next day, after overnight refrigeration. The egg rolls were still crispy, without tasting like rancid oil. Sesame chicken was still fantastic, as were the dumplings. Bottom Line: Get down here. I'm going to try as much as I can afford. The new King of East Coast Chinese takeout (and possibly other Asian foods --- Finger's crossed) in the area. Extra: I noticed something on the menu called "mambo sauce", which is evidently a favorite in D.C. restaurants. They offer it on wings, on shrimp, on everything imaginable. And in talking with the owners, I found out that they are from D.C. And my love for D.C. (and the sadly closed Mr. Chen's Organic Chinese) is well known. Praise Jesus!
