Walked in and was greeted ever so kindly. The menu had a lot of options. I seen a lunch special and for the price you couldn't pass up. Also, ordered a beef Chow Fun on the side. The portion of the food was good, the food itself was pretty yummy. Ate up my whole plate. Would try again . The prices are fair. Paid $28, a lunch for two. read more

Great China - Beef Chow Fun - Chinese Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

We moved to SR in 1986 and have been going to Great China for most, if not all, of these years. I only order Special Chow Fun (w/pork, chicken, and 2 shrimp. I stopped going for a long time due to mushy noodles. Recently, I called to tell them it was the best I'd had there and to thank the cook. Tonite, have to throw most away. Covered in grease, bbq pork was tiny. I tried to rub off grease. I definitely won't go back again. There's no excuse to serve food that bad. The gentleman who I paid was very friendly and not brusque like a lady there who's been there for year read more

I hate to even write this review, but I was so disappointed at my first dine in experience at this restaurant. I've ordered lunch specials to go from here many times. I like the food and the prices were pretty decent (everything everywhere is more expensive now). But when I asked a friend to meet me for a sit down lunch my opinion of the restaurant drastically changed. Our waitress was very curt/short with us. We had a toddler with us and we felt very unwelcome. There was no kid friendly cup options (nothing small or paper) or child menu. We got ugly looks when child talked/laughed loudly. (No crying/no tantrums). She even handed us our check without us saying we we ready or asking if we wanted anything else. We both still had lots of food left, so we just asked for boxes. We cleaned up after the child and left. The service just left a LOT to be desired in my opinion. read more

Rather pleased with the wor won ton soup I had here. Thick dough and solid but not too heavy meat on the won tons, good selection of meats and vegetables with it, nice broth. Small restaurant with old-fashioned booth seating. Only one server, who was impressively on top of watching over the customers. The restaurant is obscurely located in the back corner of a spread-out shopping center. read more

We did take out today and it was delicious. Chicken Fried Rice and Mongolian Beef. I will definitely go back

Quality of the food has gone down! But prices continue to rise. I hate to say it, but they used to have the best Mongolian beef in town now I'm not sure if it's even beef anymore. It's a lot of gristle not a lot of flavor. The potstickers are still some of the best in town even they did burn them they still have a better flavor than most other potstickers. read more

Great China is now under new ownership and is changing things around. Unfortunately they are now inconsistent. Chicken has been dry and overcooked. Egg rolls had a weird smell that I'd guess is old oil. I'm guessing it's new chefs using the old recipes. I hope they can get properly adjusted as it doesn't matter how much they modernize the cash register and ordering system if the food quality drops. I should have figured it was trouble when I saw the ipads and touch screen tip system. read more

I, too, am devastated by how the new owner has ruined this wonderful restaurant that my family and I have loved to go and eat at least 2 times a week for the last 5 years! It is hard to find a good Chinese restaurant that is not greasy and does really good potstickers, and this place did. Now we are left with no place to go! We have given them two chances. The first chance, I got sick of the potstickers, and the second chance was the house special chow mien; there was nothing in the container except noodles! Oh, and 2 shrimp and a piece of something that looked like pre-packed and formed chicken, no veggies, nothing; it was dry and tasteless! And it was $15.00, so we are done. I just don't understand how the new owners think that they can serve that kind of low-quality, horrible-tasting food when they bought it from owners that had a great reputation for the quality of their food and had loyal customers that ate there. Did they think we wouldn't notice the huge difference? The first thing I asked when we saw the sign that the ownership was changing was, (Is the food going to change ) the waitress that has been there forever said, "I think so," and was she right! Just so sad! read more

Our first visit and we enjoyed our meal. The food was prepared fast and fresh. My Chinese wife thought combination fried rice good but slightly oily. The Mongolian beef was our favorite dish. Very tender and rice noodles underneath tasty. The combination fish dish was a little underwhelming but was not bad at all. My wife thought reconstituted mushrooms could have been soaked longer to make less chewy. In all, a good time was had for my wife's birthday lunch. The portions are good and large and service gets an ok we had to flag our server down after waiting a while to give order. Restaurant was loud but in fairness was nearly at capacity. read more

I am devastated by the new ownership. My family has been going there since the 90s. It's has always been our spot. They used to know our order the minute we walked in. We wanted to give the new owners a chance. But wow did they ruin a great thing. Place was empty on a friday night at 6pm. It was a sign. The only thing we got that seemed unchanged was the won ton soup. Everything else was bland, flavorless and runny sauces. My favorite dish Kung pao combination was awful. The sauce used to be thick and spicy. So full of flavor. Not anymore bland runny sauce. No heat. No peanuts on top. Portion was noticeably smaller and the prawns were half the size and not tasty at all. The chow fun tasted like nothing. Pale and dry. Even the fried rice was sticky and just tasted bland despite being very dark from soy. Our favorite waitress is the only person left from the old staff and I know she can be a little rough sometimes we love her. And we had to apologize to her that we won't be back again. I hate writing a bad review but it was most disappointing to see something that was so wonderful for decades be done dirty like this. I guess now we need to start trying all the other spots in Santa Rosa now... read more

Husband and I have eaten here twice and both times were pretty good. We came for the lunch specials. First time: I got Szechuan Beef lunch special with chow mein and Husband got Almond Chicken with pork fried rice. The crab Rangoon was pretty good but didn't have much filling. The hot and sour soup was extremely hot (I had to put in a couple of ice cubes), but once it cooled down it was delicious. Usually Husband has better food than I do. It's quite rare that we both like my food better, but this was one of those times. My food tasted fresh while Husband's food kind of tasted like a freezer food that had been microwaved. Hard to explain, but Husband was less than satisfied with the selection. The second time we came, Husband got the Mongolian Beef lunch special, and I got Beef Bok Choy Chow Fun. Even though it wasn't on the lunch menu, I still got served hot and sour soup. Beef with Bok Choy Chow Fun was always my favorite Chinese dish growing up, and this lived up to my standards which surprised and delighted me. One again, Husband liked my food better. It's been a number of months since we've been here so we should go again soon. The restaurant has a few nice decorations, some tables and some booths, and is relatively quiet. The first time we came, there was a table of older gentlemen that seem like they're regulars. The servers let them take their time and didn't try to rush them out the door. There is ample parking in the lot and we've been able to park quite close both times. If you're in the area and looking for Chinese food, try Great China! read more

Been going here for at least 20 years and while there have been some highs and lows in food quality - the last 5 years the food was excellent, especially for the price. But in the last year the food, unfortunately, has gone downhill. I consistently order Sichuan Chicken and Won Ton Soup, among other items. Both these dishes have reduced quality. The chicken pieces taste as from the freezer and always overcooked, the won tons flavor is off - like rancid oil. With recent price increases I may broaden my search in the future. read more

This is our go to place, best post stickers around. Most dough too thick at other places. We only get a few dishes due to our "picky" eaters but all delicious and price reasonable. Not fancy and they do a booming take out business read more

Possibly the worst Chinese food I've ever had. We chose it because of great online reviews. We got 2 meals: Orange Sesame Chicken & Prawns with Lobster Sauce. The prawns meal was SO BAD we actually threw it out& just put the shrimp in the very thin wonton soup. How bad was this food? ALL of the vegetables were clearly canned. There was a tiny portion of egg. The sauce looked like water. Inedible! (Hence throwing it out & putting the shrimp into the wonton soup.) Orange sesame chicken is pretty hard to mess up, but it was just preformed very small boneless chicken tenders with an extra-thick super gooey premade sauce & a sprinkle of seeds on the top. Everything was heated through similar to a microwave. If I wanted a plate of canned & frozen food, I could have bought a frozen dinner. I am really disappointed I wasted any money on these and they won't be getting another dollar from us. I would be dubious of the glowing reviews and I hope that the owners learn that people can recognize canned peas, carrots, mushrooms and bamboo shoots at the very minimum. read more

I had time to kill while my mixer was repaired at Hardisty's so I decided on lunch here. Lovely place, clean, excellent service, wait staff clearly know their regulars but make newbies welcome. Yummy hot and sour soup and a big bowl! Mongolian beef was tender and tasty. Hot tea was on the house! They are fairly small but appear to do a good take out business. I would definitely come here again! read more

I used to love this place but got hair in my food one time, so I stopped going in for a long while. I was driving by there today and decided to go in. I sat down at a table and a very unwelcoming woman came up and slapped a menu on the table as she walked by and didn't even look at me. I noticed that my plate on the table had water underneath it so I moved it to dry it out. Gross. Why am I doing this? They don't care about customers. I took a look around and realized that this place just sucks, so I got up and left. I doubt I'll ever go back to this unwelcome Chinese situation. read more

I ordered 2 items, fried rice and Egg Foo Young. My husband went to pick it up and all they had for our order was the Egg Foo Young, no fried rice. My husband asked where the rice was and she said do you want small or large. He said small. We got home and the rice was steamed rice and not the Pork Fried Rice I ordered. Very disappointed they couldn't get it right. I think we'll go elsewhere from now on. read more

The wife and I finished our second meal here today. I got the Mongolian beef lunch special and she got Beef Chow fun. The lunch specials come with a very generous proportion of the side, I'd definitely recommend the pork fried rice as it was seasoned very well and was quite delicious. The sweet and sour soup was good and came out very quickly and was piping hot. It's nice to not have to sit around for a long time before you're served and receive your food. The service was very prompt and the people who run this place are quite friendly and sociable. My Mongolian beef was pretty good but I think my Wife's beef Chow Fun was better than my food. My Pork fried rice was definitely the best part of my meal for sure. The cream cheese puff was pretty good and I immediately devoured it. The first time we went I had a very similar experience, my wife ordered the spicy Szechuan Beef lunch special and it was fantastic. The best thing either of us have had from Great China. The first time I went I got the Almond Chicken (not something I usually order) just to mix things up and I honestly wasn't a big fan. The pork fried rice and sweet and sour was still fantastic and made me want to try this place again but the almond chicken was definitely not a flavor I enjoyed. Not sure if it was just a subpar almond chicken or it's just the kind of thing I might not prefer. Either way I'm glad I came back and am looking forward to trying this place again. read more

First weekend without indoor mandatory mask mandate so my spouse and I decided to enjoy a sit down dinner instead of our typical take out. We both ordered individual dinners which are big enough for both of us to have enough for our lunches tomorrow. Everything tasted very fresh and cooked well ( veggies were crunchy but not undercooked). Cost for the evening including tip was only $60.00. Very friendly staff, we enjoyed our experience tonight. One piece of advice, between 5:30 to 7:30 this restaurant gets really busy. We arrived at 7:15 and every table was occupied or needed to be cleaned. By 7:45, we were the only people still eating at the restaurant. read more

I've been coming here for many years. However, food prices have doubled and the paper folded menus have oil and food stains.

Things have not changed for the better even with good portions... I don't think I'll be back. read more
