    Great American Chinese food! Food is fresh. Service is great (but beware, if you have a gluten allergy, make sure you get a server who is familiar with what dishes are and aren't truly gluten free). Ambience is lovely. We love the gluten free sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and veggie rice noodles! The portions are huge, so you have plenty to take home with you!

    If I'm being honest, when I initially walked in I was ready to be disappointed, BUT the food was delicious! My uncle from out of town wanted asian food, so we decided to come here. The restaurant is huge and beautifully decorated, and the staff are so friendly. I do want to say that the food doesn't taste like authentic chinese food, but the food itself was very delicious. I loved that there was a good variety and the combos come in a pretty generous portion. It even comes with a soup or salad! Overall we had a wonderful experience and enjoyed our meal :)

    Trying out gluten free Chinese food

    Service was very quick and attentive. Food came out very quickly and the portions were definitely for sharing. The flavor is incredibly good! It was absolutely amazing and on top of that 80% of the menus was gluten free. So we were in heaven! It wasn't too loud and we were able to have a nice, quiet dinner. High recommend!

    Ham fried rice

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place. This is the third or fourth time I've eaten here. We ordered moo goo gai pan, lemon chicken, and ham fried rice. The Moo goo gai pan was excellent. The gravy has a nice garlic flavor and would've made a great sauce for chow Mein. The lemon chicken was too sour and needed more sweetness. The chicken was also over cooked and was hard to chew. The fried rice had nice chunks of ham and was seasoned just right. No MSG. We also ordered a side of chow Mein. It tasted like noodles and soy sauce. Don't order this. Overall, not bad. Definitely not authentic. But that's what I was going for tonight. I didn't want to go to Panda

    Ma Po Tofu

    Ordered take out. Called it in when I was leaving the South Town Mall. Ordered beef and broccoli combo for my wife and ma po tofu combo for me. He wasn't accurate when the gentleman on the phone told me it would be 15 minutes or so. I drove there, it is literally a 3 minute drive. Parked the car, went in, paid for my order, was told it would be a few minutes. One minute later, out came my order. This was blazing fast! Blazing fast. Five minutes. This is my first time here. This is a large restaurant. It was Friday night and the parking lot and place was packed. The place looks somewhat classy. Now the food. First of all, the portions are quite generous. I've had two meals already and I still have enough for another one plus. My wife said the beef wasn't cut thinly like most places, but was good as was the broccoli. So was her egg drop soup. My ma po tofu was excellent. The flavor was perfect. The heat was just right, enough of a kick to make my nose run a bit, but not too much that I was burning. Nice cubes of silken tofu, quarter cuts of black mushrooms, tender slices of pork, thin slices of green peppers...and shrimp! Never had shrimp in ma po tofu before. This was excellent. I highly recommend upgrading your entreé to the combo dinner. You get a choice of soup or salad, an egg roll, fried rice with ham, and a large deep fried butterflied shrimp for only $3.75. Definitely worth it. My hot and sour soup was excellent. The shrimp was excellent. Although the egg roll pales compared to my mom's :) it still had some meat in it and was nice and crispy. I was beginning to give up finding a decent Chinese restaurant since moving here. I now have hope. And it is only 5 minutes from my house. Bonus. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    I'm always on the hunt for new places to eat that are better than the previous. This was my purpose for coming here. My buddy has dinner here regularly so ai picked up a ton of good order with my typical beef fried rice, Szechwan beef and pot stickers. I found the food good but not better than any of the places I order from nearer to my home. Perhaps I need to dine in to see if I'm missing something by taking out. The Host was very pleasant, the food was delivered very quickly and the men's bathroom was very clean. I like the Joy Luck Club and I think you will too.

    .Seated right away. Good customer service. Ordered pot stickers, they were crispy and hot when served. Orange chicken had a good orange flavor, light breading. Chicken lomein was tender noodles, tender chicken. Veru good first visit.

    General Tsao (very nice crispness) and Spicy Garlic sauce with chicken

    Are there any low carb options? I'm hoping to get veggies and meat, but it looks like everything is covered in sauce (which is most likely full of sugar). Any suggestions?…

    It's been my experience that if you ask for something special, they will make it - so if you ask your server to reduce or eliminate sugary sauces, they probably will...

The look of the restaurant inside has changed a few times. when I was there last there was a casual seating area at the back of the restaurant. There were people there waiting for takeout orders. I really enjoyed the great chow mein with the beef. Next time I might try it with chicken or pork because the beef was a little hard to chew for my liking. The noodles tasted delicious and flavorful. I always have to order the cold cucumber salad. It is a great accompaniment to any dish. I added the peanuts to the cucumbers because I really like them together so if you order the cucumbers, they will not come with peanuts. It is a strange request, but they accommodated me with no problem. They had a case at the front of the restaurant with grapes and strawberries, skewered and coated in a crunchy sugary coating. It was a little bit messy, but I did not mind because it tasted so good. The strawberries were super sweet, fresh and juicy with a thin, sweet crunchy shell. I will try the grapes next time. Thank you for the delicious food

We stumbled upon Great Wall and gave it a shot. The inside was a little different in a weird way. There was only three tables in the front and the back had a lounge area. I believe there were more tables hidden behind the curtain. We ordered: Fried rice - the corn in the fried rice tasted almost spoiled Beef brocoli - the beef was tender but not as tasty or fresh Garlic ribs - cut into small portions was not what I expected and a little dry Only great was the service and those fruit on a stick in the glass counter. The high prices was not worth it.
