    Boneless Spare Ribs combination meal with Shrimp Fried Rice, a fortune cookie and an egg roll that my goddaughter enjoyed.
    Javan H.

    The Shrimp Fried Rice: AMAZING. The Boneless Spare Ribs: eh... So I'm on a continued quest for remotely decent Chinese food in the Spring/North Houston area. I'm from New Orleans, so you bet your bottom beignet that I'm a food snob. I grade most restaurants out here on a curve anyway, but for the first time, I've found Shrimp Fried Rice that actually holds a candle to what I'm used to back home. The Shrimp Fried Rice at Great Wall isn't gummy like I've become accustomed to here in Texas writ large, I wasn't bombarded with giant onions (or any, for that matter), it's not seasoned with spices that have nothing to do with Shrimp Fried Rice, and my stomach isn't upset. I usually drag my feet on writing reviews, but I had to do this one "immeedjetly." That was the Shrimp Fried Rice; I wish I had gotten a full order, love-love-love. The Boneless Spare Ribs, though... I'm judging these based on a specific restaurant back home, my favorite Chinese in the world. So I'm used to ribs that are cut against the grain into thin strips, nice and charred, and rolled around in a thick goop of sweet and sour sauce and barbecue that would make even the most experienced pit master blush. I didn't get that here. It's mostly a generic pork taste--which is already hit or miss--thinly mixed with the sauce I described. So I left a few small, worthy pieces in my rice and dumped the rest in the bag so that I could fully enjoy the rice. I may try the 8 fried wings next time, but while the ribs didn't do anything for me, the fried rice was on FIRE. This was the first time I've ever *inhaled* Shrimp Fried Rice from a Chinese restaurant out here, so I'm very pleased.

    The place that has bugs
    Yasmeen N.

    I FOUND A BUG IN THE BAG IM TAKING MY FOOD OUT OF . I hush back into the restaurant to show them the bug in the bag . I pass them the bag and the bug disappear. So now I'm being called a crazy lazy . It's really sad when I been coming to the place for about 3 years never had this problem but I will never be back . NO REFUND WAS GAVE at all . And it's really evil to do someone the way they did me .

    Shrimp fried rice, fried chicken and egg roll

    Horrible!!! Food sent me to the bathroom!!! Chicken friend ENTIRELY TOO HARD, no flavor and the shrimp fried nice was tasteless as well. The egg roll was decent, what a waste of $11... the reviews lied

    Combo fried rice is outstanding General chicken great, crab raccoons awesome A little extreme on Covid bS

    Front door, with a bum outside.
    R T.

    Called in my order based upon reviews and feedback on yelp. As I pulled up there was a bum who then posted up outside, just outside where the restaurant could see him, he then proceeded to surprise a woman walking out with her To go order to the extent that she dropped her food to him a left. Unfortunately my window was up so I don't know if he threatened her or asked politely, but I witnessed her surrender her entire bag of food to the vagrant. Ordered the orange chicken lunch $8, very good meal deal. Came with fried rice and egg roll, very good egg roll. Upon waiting for my food, the homeless guy came in with the bag of food, overheard me tell the owner about him and left glaring at me.

    No carrots or peas in my dry rice. Only a few pieces of general Tao mostly rice. I stopped eating here because I noticed that I would get treated differently depending on how I looked. Now you have lost another customer my grandmother because the food was for her. Too many peppers and burned too Had her come back to microwave her food and yell at a 70 year old like a child because I left this review. She's from Seattle Washington and isn't use to Asian people treating Black people like this. We can't wait to escape this weird plantation.

    The lunch specials are all you need!

    Located in a strip shopping center near I45 off FM 1960 the Great Wall Chinese restaurant is worthy of a stop. The food is good! You order at a walk up window then pick a table as there is limited seating. Don't wait to get a table as the small restaurant will fill up at lunch time. Drinks are self serve. Our office favorite entree is General Tso's chicken off the lunch special menu. Served with steamed rice and a delicious egg roll. This seems to be the office favorite since that is what we all keep ordering. Kind of hard to write a detailed review on the other menu choices since we all keep getting the same thing. Reminds me of the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Oh well I will update this review if someone from my office ordered something different.

    Small place (maybe a dozen tables or so). New and clean, including restrooms. Comfortable booths. ____________________________ |____|____|____|____|____|____| |__|____|____|____|____|____|__| |____|____|____|____|____|____| |__|____|____|____|____|____|__| ... Some parallels between the actual Great Wall of China (GW), and this restaurant (R): GW: Not one of the 7 Wonders of the World. R: Likewise for the food here. I had the Chicken Chow Mein. GW: Built to protect China from invasion. R: Few foodies will invade this place. GW: Wall is very long. R: Long, typical Chinese restaurant menu. GW: Walkway on top allowed fast messengers between towers. R: No MSG here, but fast delivery to table. GW: From towers, soldiers could have poured hot liquid on invaders. R: 100% vegetable oil here. GW: Built with cheap labor. R: $6 lunch specials here. GW: Made of stones. R: Crispy noodles come in wax paper bags, and mine were hard and not fresh and crispy. GW: It's a myth that the Great Wall is a single, continuous wall built all at once. In reality, the wall is a discontinuous network of wall segments built by various dynasties. R: This place is a chain restaurant. GW: Myth: Wall can be seen by astronauts in space by naked eye. R: Here a blindfold test would hard to distinguish this food from: (a) frozen entrée from grocery, (b) convenience food buffet. GW: Some parts of the wall have bricks on outside, but inside is filled with dirt. R: Egg roll not crispy on outside, and inside is bland. Hot Mustard comes in packets.

    Lunch size wonton soup.

    5 Stars - Authentic Szechuan that absolutely nails the classics…read more During our short trip to Houston, as a custom, we were determined to find real Szechuan food, and luckily we found Hu's Kitchen. The location is a bit unassuming, and parking is definitely tough (the spaces are very shallow), but the second we walked through the doors and smelled the Szechuan peppercorns, I knew we were in exactly the right place. I generally judge a Szechuan restaurant by their 夫妻肺片 (Fuqi Feipian)--which they cleverly name "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on the menu. They completely nailed it. The beef, tripe, and tendon were incredibly cohesive together, yet you could tell each component was prepared and marinated in a slightly different way to perfectly highlight its specific texture. The chili oil was right on the spot. We went through a massive bowl of rice just eating this dish alone. Honestly, if I weren't feeding a family of four, I could have just ordered that and been perfectly happy. While the Fuqi Feipian proves their skill with dry dishes, the 水煮魚片 (Fish in Szechuan Hot Chili Oil) proves their skill with wet ones. It's another must-order. The execution was flawless--we didn't just finish the tender fish chunks, we ate every last piece of cabbage soaked in that incredible chili broth. For my two daughters who can't handle the heat, we ordered the fried rice, garlic pork ribs with onion, and the 紅燒獅子頭 (Giant Meatball with Cabbage). The giant meatball was spectacular. The kids completely devoured it on their own, but I managed to steal a bite, and it instantly brought back childhood memories of exactly how this dish is supposed to taste. We also had the Dan Dan Noodles, which were great and rounded out the meal perfectly. I loved all of the dishes we tried. Should we ever find ourselves in Houston again, we will absolutely be revisiting this hidden gem.

No complaints here since we were starving from an 8 hour road trip. The Dan Dan Noodles...I had high expectations but sadly this dish fell short. I recommend Hu's Cooking to use a bigger bowl and more sauce because it was difficult to mix the noodles and the sauce wasn't...saucing, unfortunately. I wish there was more flavor in this dish. The Scallion Pancake was super over-fried and oily. See image in my review. The outer parts of the pancake were fried to a crisp and only a small circumference in the center stayed chewy. I know Chinese tends to be oily but this pancake soaked up way too much oil. Half a Peking duck: super great price for so much meat. The difficulty when eating this dish is gnawing the meat off the sharp bones of the duck. Mapo Tofu with white rice: pretty easy staple, no complaints here. Dinner on a Saturday was packed but we got seated quickly and food arrived fast.

Pork Bao's are normally my daughter fave but the soup dumplings here are her favorite. She could finish an order on her own. The service is always great.

The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can add as you go if wanted. I always thought that was pretty cool. The owner came out to say hello and ask how everything is. She even brought out a small bowl of soup for my baby to enjoy. The waitress was also very sweet and attentive. I don't live close by but will make the trip when the craving hits.

Today was my lucky day because there was plenty of parking spots and seats (although the parking lot is very small). This place is great! I understand the hype for sure. When you walk inside it's just about the smallest restraunt I've ever. Very cozy and cute vibe with smooth jazz playing on a speaker and we got our food very fast. I really enjoyed my time here. Dry Fried Green Beans 5/5- these are the best green beans I have had in my life! I am not exaggerating like I will be thinking about these green beans all week. Do not hesitate to try these. Perfectly salty and good amount of crunch still left. The flavors they used are just perfect. Colorful Beef 4/5- The texture of the beef was so tender and not chewy at all like other places. The flavor was bright and the bell peppers were cooked through well. The issue I had with this dish was the sichuan peppercorns. I was just eating and not really looking at it super closely so I got a mouth full of these peppercorns and wow it was actually horrible. Just beware because the texture of these things are god awful and I think that they should be taken out like how a bay leaf is removed before serving. It was just really intense and it almost ruined the dish for me honestly. Other than that a great dish. My mouth was so numb but worth it. Dandan noodles 2/5- This was my first time trying this dish anywhere and I did not really enjoy it at all. The sesame flavor was really strong and it wasn't really salted at all. Very strange flavor. I will not order this again, however I do believe that the execution on this dish is great. There was a lot of sauce and the noodles were cooked well. I just really wish I liked the flavor of this dish and that's a personal problem. This dish also made my mouth numb but the flavor did not make it worth it. I wanted to like these so badly but I just couldn't do it. I will be back!

The batter was good and I really enjoyed the peppers and onions that accompanied the dish. I think a dipping sauce would have helped. My friend enjoyed the Fried Beef. They have quite a few locations around town if you don't want to venture into the downtown area. If you're near the Theater District, Cooking Girl is a great dining option.
