    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.

All their food felt more authentic and homestyle than your typical run of the mill Chinese place. The food had flavor, and it wasn't overly greasy either!

I ordered the lo mein, bamboo flounder fish, and a side of fried rice. Unfortunately, the lo mein was extremely greasy, the fried rice was overly salty, and the shrimp was hard, overcooked and not fresh. When I informed the waiter that I would not be eating the lo mein due to its condition, I was told that I would still have to pay for it and that it did not matter whether I liked it or not. 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.

I was actually a little nervous going in because certain Chinese dishes tend to upset my stomach, so I tried to avoid some of the heavier noodle and chicken dishes that normally do that to me. Honestly, I think that was the best decision because I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and felt completely fine afterwards. I started with the crab rangoons, which were perfectly creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside -- absolutely delicious. Then I tried the pork-filled bao buns, which was my first time ever having them, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them too. Everyone else at our table seemed to really enjoy their food as well. I genuinely didn't hear a single complaint. We also ordered some drinks that were delicious, and both our server and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic and very welcoming throughout the night. The atmosphere and vibes inside are honestly one of the coolest parts of the experience. It somehow feels like a mix between a brewery, a florist, a bookstore, and a Chinese restaurant all at once. It's such an interesting and unique space that doesn't really feel like anywhere else. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would absolutely come back to try more items on the menu.

We were ravenous, but had an intense Chinese food craving, so we ordered Chengdu 7 food from Uber Eats. Food did not disappoint! We ordered sesame chicken, chef special fried rice, chicken fried rice, Mongolian beef*, shrimp fried rice, and everything was delicious! Fan favorites were the Mongolian beef and chicken fried rice, but honestly EVERYTHING was good.

The flow of food to our table was great, not too fast or rushed and not too slow. Our waitress was wonderful and ensured that our group had everything that we needed to enjoy our meal. Will I be back again - Absolutely!! Everyone in our group agrees that this is the best Chinese food anywhere! I will caution some seeing this review that unlike many other Asian restaurants, if you order a Hot and spicy dish here it will indeed be very hot. I consider that to be good because I enjoy hot spicy food, but for those who cannot handle hot food stick with the milder dishes.
