    Kung Pao Shrimp w/Fried Rice

    This was my first time at Great Wall Express but it was a pleasant surprise. Counter people were attentive and polite. They have the items offered in their combo plates precooked and held in a steam table. Everything look pretty fresh. I ordered Kung Pao Shrimp and Fried Rice. As an add on I also ordered an egg roll. The egg roll wrapper was not one of those phyllo type wrap but more like a wonton wrapper. I much prefer the wonton wrappers because they are not as greasy and don't fall apart when you eat them. It took about 10 minutes from the time I ordered until I was leaving with my food. When I got home, I weighed the Kung Pao Shrimp and the Fried Rice on my digital kitchen scale. 2.77 pounds. The rice was possibly 20% of the weight, so that was a lot of Kung Pao Shrimp. I spooned out about half the Kung Pao Shrimp and maybe two tablespoons of rice. I zapped it in the microwave for 90 seconds. It wasn't "hot" but it was warm enough to be edible. The sauce was spicy but not really Kung Pao sauce. The veggies, zucchini, carrots and celery were not over cooked but cooked enough that they weren't raw. The shrimp were medium size and cooked on the minimum cooking time. They were barely done but did not have that raw texture that I have experienced elsewhere. I didn't count the shrimp but there were enough that I didn't forget I was eating Kung Pao Shrimp. The peanuts were fresh and added to the top of the dish, keeping them from getting soggy. The egg roll was served off of the steam table. It was warm but not crispy. The filling was reasonable. The next time I eat here I will ask for a fresh egg roll. I did not get my jar of crispy crushed red pepper out for this meal. The leftovers were enough for another full meal. The next day it reheated pretty well. The veggies and shrimp maintained their texture really well. There was enough sauce to ensure it was flavorful. The inside of this restaurant is stark but seemed pretty clean. I didn't see anything that alarmed me regarding sanitation. I grew up in food service so I have a sharp eye for failures to serve food properly. This place looked and smelled good. I recommend if you want to try fast Chinese food to give Great Wall a try. Online prices and menus are probably out of date.

    To Go lunch. Taste is good, prices don't match what's on the menu (guess not updated yet) overall it's good.

    I found that if you come early lunch, you get fresher food. Tasty today Service very good.

    Nothing wrong with customer service. The food was terrible. Big uneven chunks of meat. Rice was hard and crunchy. I absolutely do not recommend.

    Yum!

    Yum! Nice staff! 16 years and going! Good three entree combos! Drive thru too! Fresh made crab rangoons!

    Egg Roll (1) Beef with Broccoli

    We are from San Antonio and have yet to find any good Chinese that equals what we are used to. This place is absolutely delicious!!!! The employees are friendly and quick to help. The dining area is updated and clean. If you prefer they even have a drive through definitely recommend giving them a try!!!!! Update 4/11: if you go inside and the trays are empty there's a 60/40 that the food is being rushed back out to meet the rush and won't be quite as good as described above but still ok.

    Vegetarian lo mein & fried rice!

    The food smells good! Especially the fried rice! Takeout Service was very quick via (drive-thru).

    Inside is always clean and the workers are friendly!

    Lina's has delicious and fresh tasting food in a laidback, cozy atmosphere…read more The service is quick and very friendly! We absolutely loved the food. I got the Pho Noodle Soup and my husband got the pineapple fried rice. Both were absolutely delicious with great flavors. Portions are generous too! The mango sticky rice is to die for. Trust me! I didn't think I'd like it and it was absolutely amazing. We are so glad to have this place so close!

    I was feeling under the weather and really wanted some soup but then ordered waaay too much food…read morefor me and my daughter. The food ordered: pad Thai, tom kha chicken soup, yum soon sen salad, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, a side of fried rice, and jeow som sauce. I ordered off their restaurant app which does include service fees. My total was $64.22. As a whole, the food is really good, nice proportions, and steaming hot. I asked for no spice on the pad Thai and mild spice in the soup and noodle salad. But the pad Thai got all the spice. AND I MEAN SPICY! My daughter was sad at first but powered through and enjoyed it and cleared her sinuses while she was at it LOL. Simple mistake, and lesson learned to make sure everything I order in the future is at the no spice level. The crab Rangoons are thin, delicate and crispy- the filling was slightly sweet and delicious. Very good with the sweet and sour sauce that comes with it. The egg rolls weren't our favorite but they were still tasty. Just not so crispy as we would have liked. The soup was exactly what my cold needed! It cleared my nose instantly. The show stopper was the yum woon sen salad. My daughter and I fought over leftovers. It's the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and sour. A new favorite for sure! We will definitely be back to try other dishes and support this local gem!

The sound of the sizzling wok in the kitchen can be heard in the dining room as each dish is meticulously prepared to order. My service was fantastic! While I was awaiting my order, my server saw me taking photos from my seat and asked if I wanted her to grab me some closer shots, I was impressed! Being waited on by someone who cares about your experience MAKES the experience! Thanks so much Dharani! For my lunch, I ordered the Chef's Special Prawns, think of it as lightly breaded shrimp in a spicy garlic sauce. For lunch, it comes with a choice of soup and choice of rice. I got Egg Drop and Steamed Rice as my choices. My entire meal was great! This place is a definite repeater!

    I went to lunch here the other day with my daughter. I was sooooo frustrated with this place, thats…read morewhy they only get two stars. First of all their portions have got a lot smaller. But that wasnt the l kicker. I wanted to have a nice lunch and talk to my daughter. The waitress rushed us so that it bordered obscene! She interrupted us sooo many times and I'm not complaining that she was too efficient, she was annoying to the point of rude. I couldnt get in any good conversation as we couldnt even complete a thought! She was obviously wanting to turn the table quickly BUT A- they were not busy B-they had plenty of tables available C-they were not on a waiting list D- customers were only trickling in so she did NOT need our table, if she did I wouldve understood. People not only pick a restaurant for its food but also for the ambiance and comfortableness of it. I kept telling her we were fine, hoping she'd get the hint, she didnt. And unless you had experienced it, you probably are thinking it sounds like she was a good efficient waitress, but NO, it was so rude, and I'm sure she was trained to get customers in and rush them out as the manager lady kept coming over too as if we needed more interruptions! So by you rudely rushing us out may have got you a table quicker that you didnt even need but now youve lost a customer, so please make note of this, you were not on a waiting list, you did not need that table, so let your customer have an enjoyable experience and quit being interruptive and rude. Sure refill the tea, tale a plate, ask us if we are alright but then thats it, we were not there long, we ended up leaving and went to talk in the car. Thanks for a very bad experience, you only got two stars because I enjoyed my soup even though it was small, by the way egg drop soup costs pennies to make, you didnt need to make that smaller!

The dumplings themselves absolutely lived up to the hype--perfectly delicate with a flavorful broth inside. We also ordered the dim sum combination, additional dim sum, and lo mein, and everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The variety in the dim sum was impressive, and the lo mein had a great texture and seasoning that tied the meal together nicely. You can tell there's real skill in the kitchen when it comes to the food. My only complaint was noticing the staff making the fresh dumplings eating personal food while working. It took away a bit from the overall experience and professionalism you'd expect, especially in an open kitchen setting. That said, the food quality is definitely worth it, and I'd still recommend stopping by if you're craving authentic soup dumplings in the area. Solid 4 stars!

    We went here for lunch after spending July 4th at the Gaylord Texan Resort. The reviews were good,…read morethe restaurant is close to the resort, and we were in the mood for Chinese. The restaurant itself is attractive both inside and outside. Upon entering we were quite hopeful that the food would match the decor. I started with egg drop soup and it was good but not as flavorful as others I have had. That would become a theme for our meal. The kid had steamed juicy dumplings and liked them, but she said that they were not as good as dumplings at Jeng Chi in Richardson. I tried a couple and agreed that they are not as good. They were fine, just not as good as others. The wife had beef noodle soup with broccoli and on the positive side the beef (brisket) was incredibly tender. However, the noodles were way over cooked and the broth lacked something. It did not have a deep, developed flavor. I had garlic chicken and on the positive side, the chicken was tender and the many types of veggies were cooked well. However, the dish was bland. It really had very little flavor, and I said to the wife that if I did not know it was garlic chicken, I would never have guessed. It was just bland. The service was friendly but our server disappeared for long periods of tine. The dumplings and soups came out fast, but my dish took forever. I actually thought that our server went on break or went home for the day. it was a really long wait. We probably would not return to this restaurant again.
