There was plenty of parking and signage. They have a varied and very authentic menu to choose from! We ordered a broth based lo mein noodle bowl and a hand pulled cold dry noodle bowl. BF added on a braised egg and I ordered a Taiwanese sausage on a stick. Yum on all accounts! Chili oil was automatically brought to us and the waitress was super friendly as well as bilingual. Food was brought out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. YES!! presentation and taste were perfect. Their prices and portions are reasonable and I love everything about this place, down to their cat portraits adorning the walls! Wish this place opened a location in Cleveland! I saw that they have spots in Cincy and Cbus!!

Excellent service, generous portions, and delicious food, this restaurant did not disappoint!…read more We decided to try this place as part of our plans for our 8th wedding anniversary, and even though it's almost an hour's drive from us, it was absolutely worth it. We shared the Pork Buns, Crab Rangoon, Cumin Beef, and Chongqing Dry Chili Stir-Fried Chicken, and every dish was delicious. We had such a great experience that we were recommending this place to friends before we had even left the table! The food was that good, and we're already planning a return visit. There's definitely more on the menu we want to try, and we're happy to make the drive again.

Don't let the facade fool you, Great Tang is a hidden gem…read more Inside, it is spacious and tranquil. Great service, they take pride in what they do! The egg rolls are homemade, and I think the lady that made them delivered it to our table. Better than PF Chang's! My husband tried the Cumin Beef, and they were kind enough enough to omit the cilantro. The smell was divine - it was spicy though! A bit surprised they didn't ask what spice level he wanted the dish? I think I ordered the Fish Fillet Delight (the online menu is slightly different than the in person menu), it was a mild sauce, almost tasted like nothing. Towards the end once or twice I tasted the ginger, other than that, very bland. I would not order this again. Lots of food on the plate though! Ordered the pumpkin pastry at the end of the meal. It did not taste like pumpkin at all. It was melting molten mochi and vaguely yellow. Would not get this again. Thankfully I ordered the Chrysanthemum tea, which was delightful. I think Great Tang has the potential to be a great hidden gem, I just need to find my go to dish. If you like spicy, try the Cumin Beef!

I also ordered wonton soup for the first time but I don't know it was filled with pork so unfortunately I couldn't even eat it.

The chicken fried rice threw us off because the chicken just looked liked they tore it up and threw it in the rice. It didn't look like chicken fried rice but overall it wasn't bad. My boo ordered the sweet and sour chicken and he liked it. The fortune cookies were chocolate which I never heard of before so that was interesting.

It's expensive for what you get, around $25 per person, which would be fine if the food were better. Most of the dim sum from the carts arrived cold and a bit dried out instead of hot and fresh. Service was friendly (though I didn't see the kind older gentleman from last time), and the restaurant is big, spacious, and nicely decorated. Unfortunately, the dim sum just didn't measure up this time around. Since there aren't many other options nearby, I can see why people come here, but personally I won't be coming back.

First of all - he was right on time, very quick with delivery. AND the driver was SUPER friendly. He thanked us for our business, and chatted with us about them being closed on Thanksgiving to be with their families. The sesame chicken was every bit as good as the higher priced dish I get at another place I love, China Cottage. The portion was HUGE and I had no problem having a full other meal for lunch the next day. Reheating was no problem, and food still tasted delish! The crab rangoon was AMAZING!!!!! Or actually, I should say the red sweet sauce they have was. The crab rangoon was just as good as the expensive stuff, but I have never had a red sweet sauce that was THAT good. I can't remember what my friends got, but theirs didn't look very good, and they said it was 'just ok.' BUT if you have sesame chicken and crab rangoon on the brain GO HERE!!! =)
