    I ended up here while I was in the area for business over the holidays (unfortunately), and I was pleasantly surprised to find them open on New Year's Day - which I was very thankful for. I initially misunderstood the concept and thought I was going to a ramen spot, but I'm really glad I stopped in anyway. I started with the roasted pork buns, which were excellent. The pork was incredibly tender, and the sauce was sweet without being overpowering. I also ordered the fried chicken wings (I can never say no to wings). The breading was a little heavier than my personal preference, but the flavor and tenderness were outstanding, so it didn't take away from my enjoyment. For my main dish, I went with their pork bone noodle soup - essentially their take on ramen. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles had the perfect chewy texture. Super satisfying, especially on a cold day. The restaurant itself was clean, and the staff was very friendly. I also appreciated the small details - chili oil on the table and even the disposable chopsticks had a nice design, which I don't think I've seen before. My only minor gripe was parking. With nearby construction and being unfamiliar with the area, it was a bit confusing, and I ended up parking a few blocks away. I think parking might be available at the hotel that this restaurant is in, but I'm not 100% sure. Overall, if I lived in Rochester, this would definitely be a regular spot for me. Great food, thoughtful details, and worth the visit.

    Service is friendly and the food comes out so quickly. Highly recommend this place for lunch. You find it by coming into the Kahler Inn & Suites across the street from the Charlton building of the Mayo Clinic. This place came recommended to us by friends who have been enjoying their lunch special which is Rice with several options on top. The prices are amazing at $10 and $12 . Lady We want the route of noodle soup because it's been cold outside. We had the braised beef noodle soup and the beef was so tender it came with bok choy and tomatoes. We also had the Steamed Pork Dumplings with Garlic Sauce $7 and was so happy to find the Jjiajiang Mein $14-- the wonderful black bean pork sauce noodle dish that is the number one comfort food in Korea. We order a pot of tea which was really good. Service was great and speedy .

    Food was very filling and came out quick. Everything hit the spot including the hot and sour soup which comes with wonton strips. Can also get a free refill of the soup! Dumplings were good and braised beef was tender in the noodle soup! Service was especially great and the staff here are really kind! It's definitely a nice place to come in the cold and to get in a warm meal for the evening.

    Great Wall is a great pick if you are looking for takeout Chinese food in the Rochester area. I…read moreordered a variety of dishes and ended up enjoying all of them. The dumplings were really good both steamed and fried, and the beef and broccoli was also solid. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. I got the food to go, so I cannot really comment on the inside of the restaurant, but the food stayed hot all the way back to my hotel, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are in the area.

Tonight was the first time with the new owner. I asked the wife to recommend a VERY flavorful dish. She recommended the garlic beef ( I wanted beef). It was outstanding and the BEST in Rochester. The seasoning was a 4.5 - - excellent blending of different spices creating a WONDERFULLY delicious light brown sauce, subtle garlic flavor, with Plenty of zucchini, broccoli, little green pepper, onions, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and I opted out of carrots/received more broccoli. Also rare in Chinese restaurants - - the dish was prepared with lots of sauce thus giving the dish even more flavor. Everything was very nicely chopped up in bite size pieces - - super piping hot! If the meat had first been deeply cooked in the brown sauce, and if the pork fried rice had a bit more soy sauce and flavor, I would have given them a Rochester "5". Over the years (25) I have tried a few other chinese restaurants here, and always come back to Great Wall. ( Grew up north of NYC and always ate in Chinatown.) The vegetables are always plentiful, varied fresh delicious. Portion of beef was also very good. EXCELLENT value and quality of ingredients. Restaurant has always been extremely well maintained and clean. It is worth driving over to get it so amazingly hot! Enjoy!!

    A few weeks ago, I was shopping in the southern part of Rochester. Kohl's and Five Below are my…read moreusual places. As I parked to visit the latter, I noticed New China. It intrigued me. Having Chinese food in Rochester is still foreign to me. I didn't order any when I was a resident. It's funny how I now have an interest returning as a visitor. I looked at the reviews and they were decent on Yelp. I decided to check out their online menu. One thing led to another. I ended up placing an order for pickup on New China's site. You don't pay through it, but you are prompted to create an account and specify your phone number. You order takes roughly 25 minutes to complete, which was more than enough time for me to shop at Five Below before picking up my order. Their food caters to both Americans who may feel intimidated by Chinese food and, surprisingly, to Chinese folks who want authentic food. My pain point was seeing cream cheese rangoons (wontons) on the menu. First, I can't see my ancestors taking out a rectangle of Philadelphia cream cheese to replace the traditional pork filling in wontons. Second, I find it gross seeing them on a Chinese eatery menu that I will not touch them if they were the last food item available on this planet. My rant is over. The menu item that gave me a glimmer of hope for some authentic Chinese cuisine was the shrimp with lobster sauce. I went for it. I drove over to the eatery after I was done shopping and parked steps away from it. The restaurant is next to a radio station blasting country music. There are stairs and a ramp for those who require accessibility help. You can dine in. I saw a couple eating when I walked in. Dining spaces looked limited. I was immediately greeted by a woman. There were four women in the kitchen literally cooking up a storm. I said my name and she found my order that was already packed. I asked if this place accepted credit cards. Yep, every credit card imaginable is accepted here. I paid and all was great. She handed me my food. I thanked her. She wasn't the friendliest. Come to think of it, they were probably more focused on cooking the food than being friendly. They were highly efficient, though. I drove an hour back to Eagan. My food was still hot when I got back to my hotel room. I was impressed. I got the following items: - Steamed dumplings with garlic soy sauce - Shrimp with lobster sauce on roasted pork fried rice - House special lo mein with roasted pork fried rice Each meal came with an egg roll. Everything was packed carefully. The egg rolls were yummy. They were crispy and packed full of filling. They were perfect. The steamed dumplings were authentic and delicious. They didn't have any fancy crimping. Each filling was packed full of flavourful pork filling. The garlic soy sauce worked well. I had roughly half of the two meals for dinner. Perhaps less than half because I ate all the dumplings. The shrimp with lobster sauce was so comforting. It reminded me of a Hong Kong-style dish where you know there's fried rice, but you can't see it because it's drenched in flavourful lobster sauce. The shrimp were perfectly done. I love barbequed pork in fried rice and it was fabulous. I liked the cubed carrots and pork, peas, onions, and more. I would get this dish again. It was delicious. The house lo mein was a winner. It had chicken, shrimp, barbequed pork, and veggies. The noodles were true lo mein ones. It was different having the lo mein paired with fried rice, but I didn't mind. It was such a carb-heavy, yummy meal. I had leftovers for lunch the following day. It was perfect staying in my hotel room working remotely and not having to think about what to get for lunch. The leftovers were equally as yummy a day later. It was a pleasant surprise taking a chance on New China and discovering that it offers authentic Chinese food. Just avoid the cream cheese appetizers. I'd return for more when I'm back in my old neighbourhood. (26)

    Food was cooked fresh & very hot. Large portions. Both meals lacked flavor. I will not go back…read more Atmosphere was not good.
