I love places like this because they remind me of home. I grew up in the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia), and neighborhood Chinese food spots like this were part of the culture. Not fancy. Not polished. Sometimes the booths are worn out, the menu boards look like they've been there forever, and the place feels more focused on food than decor. Honestly? That's usually how you know the food is going to be GOOD. Great Wall reminds me of those places I grew up with. Real comfort food. Big portions. Fast service. Familiar flavors. The kind of spot where people from the neighborhood keep coming back because the food is consistent and made with care. What I also love is how places like this become part of American culture in their own way. Growing up, I remember going into spots for gyros, cheesesteaks, wings, fried rice, burgers -- all under one roof. Different cultures blending together through food and community. This place has that same feeling for me: unpretentious, nostalgic, authentic, and satisfying. Some of the best food in America comes from what my mother used to call "a hole in the wall." And I mean that as the highest compliment possible. read more

I'm not sure how the reviews are low for this place. It's amazing!! Can't beat the price! Being from the east coast, this really reminds me of the Chinese food I grew up with! It's super super flavorful! I got the sesame beef and got it extra spicy it was amazing! The bbq ribs were amazing too, the sauce was so flavorful, a little chewy but the sauce was sooo good. Also, the best crab rangoon I've had read more

You don't come here for fancy food you come here when you're hungover for some quality fast Chinese- some of the biggest and best crab cheese wontons I've had in Denver. read more

Was just there ordered a beef and broccoli meal I sit down at home and find a hair in my food. I call back the restaurant and they say I have to save my meal and come back to the restaurant to prove it. No one has time or effort for that. Food presentation awful and customer service disgusting. read more

Had it delivered no problems looked like the owner. I ordered the sesame chicken and was surprised that it was just as bad as the first time I ordered. The chicken was hard dry and stringy. I dont think I could make it this bad if I tryed. One might expect 1 moist piece out a order. Dont waist your time energy or money with this so called restaurant If someone there reads this wash the outside windows .An old saying if its dirty on the outside most likely dirty on inside Needless to say I wont be back theres way to many options out there with moist hot chicken. read more

The food is really goopy and doesn't have much flavor. The prices is what keeps this place open. Very reasonable pricing and will fill you up if you're hungry. The portions are good but I wouldn't say it's good. read more

I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express Downtown Denver and needed food delivered to my location. I stumbled upon this restaurant online and decided to order; I had difficulty navigating the website so I called and placed the order instead. They were quick with the order and called me, notifying me that they were downstairs. The meal was warm and I loved the price; however, it tasted mediocre. My friend ordered chicken and brocolli and said it tasted delicious; perhaps steer clear of the lo mein and order other dishes instead. read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - Chicken Lo Mein Combo Special - Chinese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The closest thing I've found to a NY Chinese take out spot. There are no tables to eat inside so it truly is a take out only spot. Highly recommend ordering online or on the phone before hand as they get pretty busy. Food is good and reminds me of what I'd expect back east (except the wonton soup that's nothing like back home). read more

Food was fantastic and the kitchen team was fast cooked 4 hole meals in like 10 minutes. Staff were sweet and kind. It was a nice place for it location. The environment was calm and relaxed read more

I should have given them a 5 to begin with. The food is fast and yummy. I'll go back every time I'm in the neighborhood.

Decent good at a fair price. Great customer service & quick delivery. Nice family operation. Usually order the sichuan vegetables & tofu, while it's not as spicy as I'd like, it's reliably good. read more

This has been my go to spot for great Chinese food for close to two decades. The place may not look like much on the outside or inside, but the food will tell a different tale. This is a TAKE OUT ONLY place. Don't expect anything more than great food. I have had nothing but the best service every time I come here. But don't be fooled, the bosses are no nonsense. Don't go in there thinking you can make a scene and act a fool, they will put you in your place and you will end up leaving without any food. Treat them like you want to be treated and be respectful and you will be rewarded with great food. read more

Ordered the sesame chicken and it was horrible. Chicken was very hard and chewy. Mostly doughy pieces fried. A couple of dirty tables to eat at. The place is in need of a desperate cleaning. One and done! read more

TAKE OUT ONLY! This place is excellent when you're craving Chinese takeout food!!! Yes, it looks like total shart inside and you don't eat inside, and that's fine. These people are hardworking every time I step foot in the door. Busy as hell because their food is freaking good! I grew up eating egg foo young at the local strip mall my mom would take me to as a kid. Many Chinese places don't offer egg foo young at all! Or if they do, it's crap, but the egg foo young here definitely satisfies my craving that I remember from childhood. It's that gravy that makes the dish yum to the yum. It's always been served on the side but not here for some odd reason. I recommend asking for the sauce on the side and they'll charge you something small for it (which is weird, must be some reason on their end) but it's worth it, I think. The hot and sour soup is also very good! Get the bigger tub, it warms up great for another day! Of all the orders I've made here, I don't know the count, 10+ I suppose, I've never been disappointed in anything. It's all been very good or better than I've had at other Chinese takeout places. Most recently I tried the sesame tofu to go along with my moo goo gai pan. Both were delicious! But again, I recommend the sauce on the side for the tofu. I hadn't ordered the dish before here so didn't realize there'd be sauce ON the fried tofu. And lots of it! Holy shite! Again, like with the egg foo young, it's usually on the side for dipping & controlling the amount as the eater would like. Sesame tofu here was definitely drenched and swimming in the sauce. I don't understand why they keep doing this. However, it's also freaking delicious sauce! It's sweet & it's spicy! Judge a place for what it is. This is takeout. These people work their butts off. The food is very good. They get orders made in usually 15 minutes every time I've called and arrived to pickup. I tip them every time. Even a couple of bucks gives them some appreciation for all the yummy food they pump outta here daily. Definitely my all time fave Chinese takeout thus far! And I can't imagine what they have to deal with being on Colfax. It's not the easiest strip of the street to be on everyday. read more

Solid Americanized Chinese food. Good hot and sour soup. Will not give you utensils unless you ask, was frustrating in a hotel.

Definitely the worst Chinese "food" I've had and the employees are rude. I wanted chow mein but the woman at the counter insisted it was lo mein that I wanted and apparently that's what she rung up for me since that's what I unpacked when I got home. They mains that we had were sesame chicken and kung pao chicken. Honestly if it weren't for the couple of peanuts in the kung pao I'm not sure we could tell which dish was which. Both were just gloopy soggy messes. Of course we had crab cheese wontons which should just be called cheese wontons as I couldn't find any imitation let alone real crab flavoring. I'm sure they just get them frozen from Restaurant Depots bargain bin. We don't need to mention the digestive discomforts after the meal. Living in the area and walking by their kitchen door, which is always left open to the mice and what not, it's a wonder I didn't get really sick. read more

Takeout was fantastic. Huge serving portions so you can share or have lots of leftovers! Fair pricing. Will be back!

Grilling the broccoli or frying bit more either than that food is bomb Good little spot read more

Best takeout Chinese food in Denver, take out only. No ambiance or vibes but they don't need it because it's fast and good!

Yeah, gone way downhill. Mediocre food, not very clean inside and they have shitty relationships with the next door businesses. Done. New China on Alameda kicks their ass on price, quality and how they treat the neighbors. My new go-to. read more

I have been a big fan of Great Wall for quite a while, but after this last meal I doubt I'm ever going back. It took me almost and hour to chew through my General Tso's chicken jerky, the sauce had almost no flavor, and despite being ordered extra spicy, there was no heat whatsoever. read more

The food was pretty good Chinese which is hard to find around here. The orange chicken came crispy and full of flavor, also came with fried rice and a spring roll which was one of the best spring rolls I've ever had. All in all, pretty good food! read more

The restaurant used seamless to deliver and he delivered my food over 15 minutes late without handing it to me while I stood outside awaiting hi text that he has arrived with our food. I got very sick because the fried chicken was still raw and was not properly cooked. The picture show the red and Purple blood that make us gag and abandon the fried chicken and fried rice which had a crunchy and raw taste as well. My advice is this must have been a different cook chef because my past orders without Seemless was good.I will request that they correct this with a new order of this $27.00 meal. read more

I am a big fan of Great Wall, it's solid American Chinese food. They get absolutely slammed because chinese takeout is popular and this restaurant services a heavily populated area of people. I can't imagine dealing with the logistical nightmare of getting this delivered so I only do takeout orders. The employees here are very nice on the phone, they take time to clarify items on the order which is much appreciated. The actual restaurant itself feels very dated in appearance - like whoa time travel. Again, friendly service and the efficiency in which the kitchen operates is impressive. For this reason the phone ordering time quotes are generally spot on. Dumplings are really good here, I always order some. The Chef Specials are where you should really try to order unless you are craving a classic. The usual suspects Beef and Broccoli, Lo Mein are things I like to order. They do it right at Great Wall. The Chef Special Orange Chicken is actually amazing. read more

So sorry to leave a review on one of the greats back in the day but has slid to the dark side. Where do I start. From the service to the crunchy rice. I ordered some wings and egg fooyong. The sauce and eggs smelled bad. Didn't want to take the chance so I threw it in the trash. I hope someone there notices the downfall and improves the place. Use to drive from south aurora to get food there for my children. You can truly get better Chinese food from a gas station in Oklahoma. read more

The food is really good! I think this is the best sesame chicken you can get in Denver for sure! If you live around here definitely try it out. read more

Gross! What a waste of money. The food is terrible!!! Ordered sesame chicken that was all stuck together, moo goo gai pan- a lot of canned product- just gross! read more

The pictures do not reflect the current state of the food. The "egg rolls" were in fact "spring rolls" as they did not have an egg roll wrapper and the contents were some sort of cabbage and some sort of translucent noodle. No meat. No other veggies. Nothing. The fried rice was a similar affair. The image on their online menu shows all sorts of yummy bits in there. For $2 extra on our meal, the fried rice consisted of fried rice and a bit of egg. That's literally it. Nothing else. On to the next mediocre Chinese restaurant. read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - Let me know if you see a vegetable or a chunk of meat in here... - Chinese Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Rice isn't even cooked. A "spring roll" is just a frozen tasting egg roll that they got at Costco. No flavor. Will never order from this place again. read more

When I am cold, hungry, the ABC in me wants American Chinese Food. Is this best Chinese-American take-out and delivery. No. But it is consistent, fast, inexpensive, and they delivery within a 3 miles radius at a $1.50ish charge. I would not eat-in here. Things to Note: 1) Delivers to downtown or within in 3 mile radius @ a premium charge. They do not use grub-hubs - so you must call in your order. 2) Order by Number to make sure your order isn't wrong 3) If you like spicy - ask for extra since it's tamed down. 4) Lunch specials from 11am-4pm 5) I called at 11:50am and it was at my door in City Park by 12:10pm. New York fast. 6) The women on the phone sounds like she is yelling at you, she isn't. She is taking like 5 other orders because they are so busy. Must Dos: 1) Only place that has the thick skinned steamed dumplings. 2) General Taos Chicken 3) Hunan Chicken 4) Excellent Crispy Eggrolls The Meh: 1) For whatever reason, the bamboo shoots in the stir-frys are meh 2) Hot N Sour Soup is NOT good.

After waiting an hour we were told the driver "had a problem" and cancelled my order. We reordered and an hour and a half later received what obviously was the old order heated up. The shrimp toast was burnt and the meat dry. The late delivery was on Uber Eats but not only was it late, overcooked,and cold when it arrived, the restaurant charged an extra $10 in "fees". The Pandemic is over, guys. read more

My favorite chinese restaurant in the downtown area. It is well done American Chinese style food. The pan fried dumplings are handmade and have a thick wrapper and lots of pork inside. I can't not order these here. Mooshoo pork was the best I've ever eaten I think. The large soup I got was also only around $5.50 and full of vegetables and tofu and really tasty broth. I have gotten delivery once and had no problem. No problems with any orders so far. read more

My favorite Chinese spot. The portions are huge, and for so cheap! And they serve lunch specials all day and night which I love.

Forget about what it looks like, just know they serve amazing food. read more

Great Wall used to be our go-to place for good Chinese food. We had takeout tonight. Absolutely disappointed in the food. Mongolian beef and an order of egg rolls. The egg rolls looked and tasted like they were from McDonalds. The beef was very salty and flat, just didn't have the taste it did a few years ago. Too bad. It's a Tucson landmark. read more

Good food and a nice portion for the price. You'll get enough to eat on for two meals for around 10 bucks. Very hard to find foreign food as authentic as this, but having worked in a few myself you immediately will recognize the validity from the ambiance alone. Very polite staff and quick food turnover. read more

This is the OG of Chinese spots in Capitol Hill. It has been around forever and consistently serves up exactly what you would expect and want from your hole in the wall Chinese spot on Colfax. Lots of fried appetizers, gut busting entrees and you're still giving thanks for it as you reach for the antacids. It's a nostalgic favorite for those of us that have lived downtown forever. There is definitely more sophisticated and authentic Chinese from other places, but I'll still take the boneless spare ribs, fried fish cakes and chow mein any day from here. Yum! read more
