    Rice with 3 choices of meat
    Yixin L.

    The food came out fairly fast with the amount we ordered. Ordered 3 types of meat over steamed rice which came with a bowl of soup and egg. The chasiu was soft and delicious. The duck was good, but half of the amount given was bones. The bbq rib meal was soft too but most of it was the bone. It was a decent portion size for the price. The short rib was seasoned well and soft. The drinks were a bit too sweet for me. Went during the summer and the inside was pretty warm without much air conditioning. There's 2 gender neutral bathrooms.

    Food is always consistent at this place, never had an issue on their meat and rice platter. I would've rated this higher if it wasn't because of their hidden rules. One time we came in, they told us we have to spend over $30 to use a credit card. Under $30, it's cash only. I don't see them mention this to anyone else though??? Then another time we tried to get our parking validated, she then told me we have to spend over $30 to get it validated??? It was never an issue before, so when did this rule start ?????? I'm not sure if these "rules" are always there?? But most likely will not be returning as much as we used to given all these hidden rules.

    This hole in the wall place does have superior Chinese food! The crispy pork belly, noodles were just spot on. Quick service and clean cozy place is worth the visit when you are in China town.

    I came mid afternoon during the week and it wasn't busy at all. I was immediately seated and was able to order quickly. I ordered the shrimp dumplings and they were good. They have a Dim Sum menu and a regular menu also, just didn't get a picture of that. Inside was nice, clean and quiet.

    This place has one of the best noodle soups except the soup base was a little too salty for my taste. I ordered two items which came with roast pork and roast duck. This is one of the best places for roast duck and the skin was crunchy! They even have bak choy in the soup which is added bonus. And the price is so reasonable too!!

    First thing in the morning (or late morning if you're an old Asian man like me) this is one of the few Chinese eateries open for noodles. They were getting ready for the day, and had a big order out on half their tables for some other restaurant. They have two good choices for single diner, noodle soup with one to four adds, or rice plus one to four adds. Other places its hard to enjoy the variety of choices when one is eating solo. I suppose a lot of Chinatown restaurants make their own chicken broth but I was able to see them finish off what must have been started hours ago. I'm so happy I decided to try this place out even though they had higher than the magic 3.5 average rating denoting the very best authentic Chinese restaurants because this place is excellent. Make sure you try the shrimp rolls and something barbecue. If you're vegan, remember an Authentic Chinese barbecue place is probably not going to get that, but if you order plain white rice and steamed tofu you should be okay even with meat eating friends. Im Far East Asian cuisine, rice steamers never have meat in them. Pretty much everything else might have had meat contact. If you have Celiacs, rice noodles and rice have no gluten but some soy sauce does. "Glutinous " rice has no wheat gluten, it just means the rice is sticky.

    Amazing food, prices, and a hard working family. I love this place and highly recommend their duck and noodles especially. Although everything is delish.

    Takes credit card The 3 combination meat platter $12- over rice, veggie, tea egg, cup of soup. It's perfect for one person for a meal. Char shiu- tender meat, but was lacking flavor. Roast duck- duck meat was tough, flavor was lacking, I wish it was cooked slower Roast Pork- decent flavor. Skin was crunchy Har gow- lots of huge pieces of shrimp. Shiu Mai- large size but I was not seasoned well Spare ribs - soft meat, but also lacking flavor.

    Simple meat and rice dishes with fast service and and unbeatable price! Rating 8/10 | Price $12 per person. Ordered carry out without calling in and chose to get the three meat combo. They do have the option to dine in their simple restaurant and they will validate parking if you spend enough. One order gets three meats ranging from okay Char Siu to an incredible pork belly but at this price nothing they serve is bad. Also comes with soup. Great for a quick mini meal to share or take home dinner!

    This place never disappoints. Their pork and how prepared is just the right flavor! The duck...always done so well here. Every time we make it to Chicago / we make it to the New Great Wall. On this trip, we even went there twice this visit!

    bbq duck and char siu combo (comes with soy egg and broth soup)
    Koa D.

    No frills service. I feel betrayed by the price of bbq meats these days but that's another issue. This place is a great spot for bbq and a low key meal (the dim sum is good and so are the combo plates)! If you are sick of minghin prices and hate the crowd but don't mind a smaller simplified menu, this is a great alternative. Also, I've seen the owner's children in there. It's authentic. My only gripe was that the soy eggs weren't marinated long enough.

    Roast duck over rice

    I love their roast duck over rice! It comes with an egg and veggies and also a small soup. It's healthy and delicious. I come to this place at least 2 times a week, and it's only $10!

    This is my favorite Chinese BBQ place in Chicago. The interior is clean, with a couple of tables in case you want to dine-in instead of take-out. There is a menu is available in English, and the staff also speaks English if you need that - Canto and Mandarin otherwise. Food-wise, my favorites are the crispy pork belly and the princess chicken for both take-out and dine-in. The pork belly consistently has a nice crispy layer to it without feeling too hard to chew. The fat is rendered nicely also. The princess chicken tastes really refreshing, and goes very well with the dipping sauce that they provide - eat both with a large bowl of white rice and some vegetables on the side for a nutritious, light meal. If you choose to dine-in (which I actually highly recommend), their combination meals come with 1 to 2 BBQ items, rice, veggies (bok choy or napa cabbage in my experience), a small radish soup, and a tea egg. Service is quick and no-nonsense. Other items to choose from are roast duck, char-shiu, soya chicken, and if you're feeling adventurous, pigeon. This is all fine and dandy but to top it off, New Great Wall probably has some of the cheapest prices for a meal in Chinatown, and in Chicago. It's been a small while, but last I checked, everything was around $12 a meal. Definitely on my frequently visited spots in Chicago, and somewhere I wholeheartedly recommend for a quick lunch.

Be prepared to wait a little bit for a table, or share a big one with another party at peak times. Prices are reasonable and portions are pretty generous. ===== Kind of lost count of how many times I've been. Love getting the dim sum and noodle dishes here. Some favorites: beef cheong fun with egg, siu mai, Singapore noodle, xo rice noodle rolls, spare ribs, pork and century egg congee. All the food has been very solid. Inside is always bustling and can be a bit crowded. Service is pretty friendly as far as Chinatown goes, and very efficient. There's a guy who works there who I think is the manager or something, because he puts in 200x effort and is always hustling. When he's not around it feels like something is missing. Prices are very reasonable and we like ordering a lot here so that we have tasty leftovers for later. This place has quite a few big tables and is good for large groups. My only nits are that very occasionally a dish or teacup will have a dirty spot, and that the bubble tea here is kind of meh. I don't remember exactly which one I ordered, but it was a little watery and lacking in flavor. It's also probably tough since they're boxed in by boba places now. Pro tip: When you first get your table, they'll ask you what kind of tea you want. If you ignore them or don't know how to answer, the default is green tea. Another one is to come at off-peak times. Not only will you get a table faster, but I think they tweak their portion sizes depending on how crowded it is. Definitely will be back! And I recommend you visit too

Communication was a challenge since very little English was spoken, and the descriptions of the dishes were lacking. I don't enjoy gambling on menu titles that sound good but end up being something completely different from what you expect. Some of the more familiar dishes were solid. The Kung Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef were both pretty good and tasted like what you'd expect from most Chinese restaurants. Other dishes were much harder to understand, even after asking questions about how they were prepared or whether they were sweet or savory. We ordered the Sauteed Chicken in Hot Spicy Sauce Rice, which turned out to be very heavy on Sichuan peppercorns with a strong floral aftertaste. The chicken sat on a bed of what looked and tasted like deep-fried kale, and despite the word "rice" in the name, there was no rice in the dish at all. That's one item we won't be ordering again. We also tried the Fish Filet with Hot and Sour Lime Sauce. It was basically a sweet-and-sour style fish dish. It wasn't bad, but it leaned much sweeter than expected. Another thing to note: none of the dishes come with white rice--it's completely à la carte. We only found that out after ordering. With prices being what they are these days, it would be nice if they included at least some white rice like most Chinese restaurants do. Overall, the food wasn't terrible, but the lack of clear descriptions and communication made the experience frustrating. I prefer restaurants where expectations are clear rather than discovering surprises after the food arrives.
