Great Wall Buffet - Leopard Ln (Malvern) I was passing through and was hungry for good Chinese cuisine. This was one place I found. It looked clean and staff were pretty friendly. Food was ok, not great. Some items you can tell set under lamp warmers for a while. Place inside didn't look bad. They keep it clean. I came here during their slow times. But they do offer plenty of seating. read more

My famiky and I had lunch at the great wall and given we're in the small town of Malvern, Arkansas, it wasn't all that bad. I consider this like a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant whose food is pretty decent. Everything we had was fresh and tasty. The buffer did look a bit sparse, but that was partially because they were batch cooking. Making small portions so that anyone eating is actuakkygetting a freshly cooked meal. The place does lack ambience, there was no music, but we'll definitely return for a quick, good chinese meal next time we're in the mood. Don't expect a 5 star experience, but you'll get pretty good food despite thr ambience. read more

Went in with my wife and both got a buffet plate. Selection was nonexistent and the food we did get was nasty or cold. We ste NOTHING, didn't even drink the soda and was still overcharged just to get out of the door. Shouldn't even be in business. read more

Nothing on their buffet is labeled so you don't know what they're serving. Also, their fried rice has changed and it is not as fluffy as it was and is more crunchy. I've asked them to please label their foods but nothing has changed. Their egg drop soup is good and most of their offerings are good, but not all. read more

I grabbed buffet to go. there cartons are on the small side. generals in one in the other I put chicken on the stick, egg rolls and sweet n sour to dip. over 26 dollars. no sushi, no desert. an appetizer and my meal. not only charging double on an already pricey buffet lunch but when I called, guess what, no manager. BS I WOULD INCLUDE PICS IF I COULD read more

The food was fine. Unremarkable. I wouldn't go again, but I don't have much to complain about. All I remember is that they served watermelon, but it tasted chewy, for some reason. The whole place felt like the embodiment of the phrase "Press X to doubt." read more

Great atmosphere very friendly staff was 25$ for me and my fiance to eat so not bad and there were very good choices of food. 5/5 star will be coming back. read more

This Chinese restaurant is good. The staff is friendly and helpful. There aren't as many options available as there are in larger towns, but the selection is nice. The atmosphere is nice and the pricing is decent. They offer buffet and take out. read more

I recently ate lunch at Great Wall Buffet in Malvern with my grand-daughter. The food was mostly okay. But, the sauce on the spicy chicken had an unusual color and it's consistency didn't look right. So, she didn't eat any of it, even though it is one of her favorite dishes. Better safe than sorry. I like the egg-drop soup, myself. But, this particular location's version of said soup has a dark-yellow color to it. And, I don't eat soup that has such an odd color to it. Sadly, it's looked like that every single time I've ever eaten there, during the last 7 years. So, it's not a one-off thing. Also, they keep the lights and hot water turned off in the restrooms with the doors propped open. When I asked the male server about it, he was kind enough to turn the hot water on for me. So, either they're doing their part to save the environment, which I can respect, or business is slow, which makes sense for a po-dunk town like Malvern. Thus, they're doing what they can to save money, in order to keep the doors open (no pun intended). I gave this restaurant three stars for the Yelp review because they at least tried. I mean, our server did ask us every 3 mins. if we wanted our plastic water cups refilled, even though they were both over 3/4th's full. Also, I never saw any employees smile. But, that's okay because working in any restaurant isn't exactly life-changing. And, I rather see no smile than a fake one, anyway. LOL! P.S. The lunch buffet was $14, not including beverage and tax. And, they charge the same amount for a medium-size take-out box that they do for the dine-in buffet. So, to-go/take-out diners beware. read more

The buffet had a good selection from typical buffet items to salmon and crawfish. The food was just average though and the beef in one of the dishes was so tough I could not chew it. Even the fruit was fairly tasteless. The saving Grace was the ice cream. They had good quality ice cream and plenty of choices. read more

Most disgusting Chinese food I've ever eaten. Place always looks and smells bad. I swear you are going to get better food if you go to Wal mart and buy it frozen and go zap it in the microwave read more

This little China buffet is comfort food from the get go. From the Thailand chicken through salt and pepper shrimp, all the way to the mushrooms everything has mouth watering flavor. If you like Chinese buffets, you have to try this one. read more

When we walked in, the smell of all the food was a bit overwhelming. Don't let that stop you. The food is good and the staff kept the buffet trays full. The beef with the broccoli was too tough so skip that or go with a small first sample. The chicken dishes were all good in my view. Don't expect Chinese food like you may find in a bigger city but for the middle of Arkansas, this works. read more

My wife and I were in Hot Springs village 6-27-2021 and decided to have Sunday brunch. We usually eat at the Home Plate restaurant. They had their Sunday church crowd lined up half way round the parking lot. Most other places were out of business or closed on Sunday. We decided to try the Great Wall for a change. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was good, but a little bland. The Col. Cho's chicken was delicious, but not hot spicy. A very nice selection. For desert, they had real Blue Bell ice cream self serve. They offer Tsing Tao, Heineken, and other fine beers. A real treat in the Bible belt. Don't know if they serve it on Sunday. Been coming to HSV for over 40 years. This place has been there a long time. Just never tried it. I am glad we did. read more

Malvern is lucky to have such a good buffet. The food is hot and fresh. Their sushi is very good quality for the price. They have two full bars of savory food, one bar of desserts (including ice cream) and fruits, and even have chilled shrimp. read more

The good tased really good, the people working there were friendly and the price was right inline if not a touch lowers than what I would've expected to pay. The tables were clean and the items to choose from on the buffet were plentiful. Even more dessert than I would have expected. My favorite was the Coconut Shrimp! If you've had a bad experience years ago I'd invite you to go back and give them an opportunity at redemption. Definitely not what some of the bad reviews entailed. read more

So pleased to find a good Chinese restaurant in Malvern. Located right next to interstate. Very good prices and the food was fresh and flavorfull. Could use a little more spice, but very good. Really liked hot sour soup and eggrolls fresh and cooked in fresh oil. All in all, good food. read more

I don't usually judge restaurants very harshly but I don't recommend this place to anyone. I was there for 20 minutes max. The food was not good at all. The service was no better. To top it all off, I got food poisoning. It's a great place if this is the type of restaurant you're looking for. read more

Really nice. I rate it 4 stars compared to other Chinese buffets . It was clean, not sticky and pleasant. Fresh food, moist and tasty. Worth a try! read more

Not the worst. Sadly I don't want to come here again. I was really looking forward to some good food. Most of the food taste like I was cooked in the same pan. This place can have a better out come in taste. Service was good and they are very nice. However we are looking amazing food. read more

Mostly friendly staff. Puny "buffet" with like 12 different things. Salad bar is not great and veggies always seem to be sour. What they do have is ok but I have a hard time trusting the food here as it is usually cold and crusty and *seems* to have been sitting out for far too long. Dessert section is not too great but what I find moderately unsanitary is the ice cream buckets in which any old patron can just hand scoop from with no gloves or protection. It's ok for little old Malvern I suppose but it's not worth the price for my cheap self. read more

Best Chinese Buffet in Malvern. Also, the only Chinese Buffet in Malvern. Honey chicken, chicken on a stick, and the crab rangoons are great. Smaller Buffet size than in Benton or Hot Springs, but price is the same. If you want standard Chinese buffet food without leaving Malvern, this is your place to be. read more

Absolutely a waste of money and time. Very gross... nothing we ate was good. We have eaten at a lot of Chinese Buffett's....made us nauseous afterwards. read more

HORRIBLE i spit out the won ton soup, left most of what i paid highway robbery for. I should have walked out after tge first dirty plate but no i gave it a 2nd try and found another dirty plate in the clean plate holder. Have eaten there before and it was ok but will never go there again, i will make the drive to hot springs, at least it is excellent and cheaper read more

The service was good, the people were friendly, however the food was barely edible, girlfriend gagged while trying hot and sour soup. The best thing on the buffet was cheese sticks. I'm honestly just hoping I don't get food poisoning.. read more

Food and environment is pretty average, much like what you'd expect in a small Midwest town. The chicken on a stick is a star here, managing to be moist where most are dry. Nice variety for dessert, and the Generals Chicken was decent. read more

Poor food. It seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. Our creepy waitress kept coming to our table and staring at us.
