    Tofu and Mushrooms in a Clay Bowel
    Patti S.

    Everything was fabulous. Had a group of about 30 people. I called the day before and we had a room to accommodate us. Food is always good and I'm vegan. Yesterday, the service was especially good!!

    Shrimp dumplings
    Ranita S.

    Lots of authentic things on the menu. Vintage vibes Best thing I tried was the cumin lamb. Try the cumin lamb! Crispy spicy chicken was okay Brisket with tofu was not brisket but cow tongue I wasn't a fan of being mislead by that Service was okay but our server didn't write anything down Shrimp dumplings were very authentic and good

    Szechuan chicken
    Davida B.

    Very good food and service. The food came out quickly and hot. The Szechuan chicken and shrimp was delicious

    Chicken wings
    Jalexus H.

    I feel like most Chinese restaurants are great at one thing and that's your go to. Great Wall is good at many things. We tried a little bit of everything at Great Wall so we could give it a fair chance. Everything was pretty good. The only thing we weren't too fond of was the wings. We are used to getting a fried wing so it just wasn't what we had a taste for. I personally really enjoyed the Mongolian beef. The service was great and we will most definitely be back to try even more of the menu!

    Dan Dan noodles, sautéed pork belly with black bean sauce, crispy spicy chicken. All extra spicy!!

    Great Wall is now officially up to snuff with my ridiculously high standards for authentic Chinese food. I had tried it a couple times before but it was never spicy enough as pretty bland. I heard a rumor the chef from red pearl went here. So I have it one more chance and so glad I did. I did have to ask for extra extra extra EXTRAAAA SPICY and they delivered! Crispy spicy chicken, Pork belly and Dan Dan noodles all chefs kiss!

    Sesame chicken
    Kate H.

    Going to dream about those wontons later. The service was incredible, our waiter was super sweet. The ambiance is very nice and cozy. The glaze on my sesame chicken was unreal. Moved to the top of the ranks as far as Chinese restaurants go. But also top five for just any restaurant in Birmingham in my book. I'll be back soon.

    I've always been fond of the chicken and eggplant in a hot pot. Open on Monday's, important in this town.

    I have been going here since 1992. This is the best Chinese restaurant in Alabama in my opinion.

My moo goo gai pan had barely any chicken in it. There were huge chunks of vegetables and it was way too starchy. It was like they were trying to compensate for the lack of protein in it. I haven't ordered from them this year, but I did tonight. Listen the economy is rough for everyone but I paid $15 for this chicken and they used maybe 1/8 of a chicken breast in it. Not cool. Hate to leave the negative review, but I need to warn people that they're using filler food to complete the orders and charging more. What's not cool anywhere these days is paying more and getting way less than just a few years ago. All of us are working hard to earn money and it just feels so disappointing to not get what you pay for, especially when you're paying more than you used to. I don't know who to blame for this. If I wanted a carton of vegetables I would have eaten a frozen bag for $2.50 tonight.

After I came back to place my order, I got half lo mein and fried rice with teriyaki chicken as my protein. The lo mein was worth the wait!

The atmosphere made the meal even better, energetic, social, and full of those random, conversations you only hear at the Hill!

I noticed the line at Mein Bowl was empty and decided to give it a try and am so glad I did! I got orange chicken, white rice, and some crab rangoons. Everything tasted fresh and the portion size was great I had leftovers that I ate for dinner. The service was so quick compared to the experiences I've had with other places on campus. The staff was so kind and welcoming. I had a few questions and needed some recommendations and the chef was so informative and nice. I definitely will be stopping by Mein Bowl again hoping to try their sushi next time, I cannot believe I never thought to go there in the first place!
