New Great Wall Restaurant

Kindly folks let us eat on the patio because we were traveling with a dog. Tasty buffet with kid…read morefriendly and healthy options. Could see our car charging from where we sat.

So this place has been around forever. I've frequented the actual buffet, which is typically pretty…read moredecent for American Chinese fair, especially since it's the only Chinese buffet option outside of Olean or Buffalo. But after trying a takeout order for the 3rd time, I cannot recommend doing take away from here. SERVERS: The service is swift, it's happy, very friendly actually for typical brisk Asian style service. They handle the buffet efficiently and are always asking if you're doing well. The lady who took my to-go order over the phone was kind, she even called me back to say they were out of something I ordered and offered a substitute. TO-GO ORDER: This is where it all went downhill. I know sometimes if you make to-go orders, they pull stuff directly off the buffet instead of making something new. Which is whatever, honestly, I'd have preferred what was on the line to what I received. a) Black Pepper Chicken: On the line it's crunchy, crispy and caramelized chicken and onions with a hint of black pepper. What I got in my container was bits of soggy chicken literally floating in non-thickened sweet sauce. So much in fact that it leaked out of the containers edges all over the bottom of the bag. Luckily it was double bagged so it didn't get on my seats. b) Buttered Sea Food: On the line it's fake crab and baby shrimp sautéed with garlic, butter and parsley and a little something extra (I think sesame oil myself) and it's awesome over rice. I ordered a small container of this without the shrimp, because sometimes the shrimp aren't clean and I prefer to skip that. It was okay but there wasn't a lot of the butter sauce, so everything on top was very dried out. I only live 10 minutes away, so it shouldn't be like that after such a short time. c) They were out of the smoky, garlicky green beans and offered to sauté some broccoli in the same style. This also came floating in pool of slightly seasoned water. Like it was blanched and tossed in the container without draining before they dumped sauce on, instead of actually sautéing it. I'd have just rather passed on it. d) The egg drop soup came off the buffet line, so it was fine. It's not the best I've had but it's not the worst either. I'd call it passable and it was the most edible thing from the order, after I added some garlic chili paste. Now this is the only the latest to-go order mistakes. The first two times saw issues as well, like missing food, incorrectly made food and food that is usually dryer instead begging for a lifeline from an ocean of sauce. Honestly, for $30 for takeout, I expect better quality and consistency. If you can make it nice and tasty for the buffet line, you should be able to do the same for the take-out option. It's going to be a while before I add this place back into my rotation.

Oddly, there was just no flavor in this dish. I'm not sure how that's possible. The shrimp were basically medium/smallish. The serving size for the entree dishes is pretty large - we have lots of leftovers. This teeny hole in the wall in tiny Franklinville (one stop light) - is takeout only *AND* cash/check (do people still write checks?!) only. We have a cabin not far away, so we'll be back. There aren't many good restaurants in this area, sadly!

The general tso chicken was really good, it was our favorite thing we ordered. The crab Rangoon were okay. Not amazing not bad either. They had a decent amount of cream cheese and crab, but they had some kind of onion that really overpowered them so that's all you could taste. The location was in a plaza. The tiny eating area was very cold, but very clean. The staff were very nice. They are more set up for take out and do a lot of it. They are very average Chinese and I would eat there again. The price point was on the cheaper side so I didn't have my hopes extremely high and wasn't disappointed at all.
