I should have paid attention to the reviews. I ordered General Tso's chicken - a pretty basic dish, right? I've had good and bad Gen Tso's and unfortunately this was the worst. Mostly breading or whatever they coat the chicken in, and that's if there really was chicken in the dish. If there was, it was extremely flat, almost paper thin. I paid a little extra for all white meat but who could tell. I honestly couldn't tell it was chicken at all. Fora minute I considered the idea that it was chicken skin, I just think it was paper-thin chicken. The "sauce" was super thick and "gloppy" if that's a word. And it did not have a good flavor. The rice was too sticky. The broccoli was good though. I hate to leave bad reviews. I really do. Usually I just don't go back and I keep my mouth shut. Please this really wasn't good. read more

I ordered Szechuan chicken. It was not at all spicy. I asked to have it made spicy and their solution was to bring me some chili oil. No thank you. It needed to be re-made in the kitchen. But, apparently that was not an option. I will NOT return. I should have read the room, so to speak. No customers and no seeming prospect of customers. read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - Mold from Egg Drop Soup - Chinese Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

When food is pour at any restaurant it is understood that no one's perfect. However when I called to describe what my food looks like and taste it all I met with was thank you for your feedback. This time I'm giving a shout because I've tolerated poor service from this restaurant before however for them to repeatedly have a problem and I just call back to let them know how poor the meal was to meet with such an businesslike reaction is not only unprofessional but is unacceptable in any community especially ours here at Lake Linganore. This restaurant should be closed. The cuisine that they sell is often purchased because they are the closest in the Lake Linganor arrangement. Soon there will be others and I will be glad to try them but as it stands for this little restaurant in Lake Linganor right next to the Weis do not patronize this place it is awful poor Without compensation acknowledgment or just courteousness and allowing an individual to know that this was not your intent of service and that you will make sure such service is not repeat it. I will let everyone know and Lake Linganor do not patronize Great Wall Chinese restaurant. Encourage my friends to stop patronizing the restaurant and for your health wealth and safety I suggest that you don't patronize this place as it can be detrimental to your health thank you. If I could I would post a zero star. Since it is not possible I will give it one but it does not even deserve a one read more

I enjoy their food growing up. Always the best Chinese restaurant! The workers are always sweet. Their food is champ!

The fried rice is just rice with yellow food coloring in it. No veggies or eggs. Terrible!

I love ordering Chinese from here. The food is always fresh and still hot by the time it arrives ! Our fav dishes are the sesame chicken (white meat ) with shrimp fried rice and the shrimp Lomein. They do add a lot of mushrooms to the lomein. So if you are not a mushroom lover make sure you tell them to go easy! read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - 70. Pepper Steak with Onion - Chinese Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

The rice was hard and the food barely had any meat in it. The owner does not care about any problems with his food.

To be fair, I visited on New Years Day, so I was pretty much the only person there but the service was great. I ordered the Sesame Chicken lunch special, which comes with your choice of fried or white rice and you can add an egg roll for only 75 cents. The chicken was delicious and they topped on plenty of sauce. The egg roll was a bit doughy, but overall one of the better ones I've had. I genuinely enjoyed my meal and was pleasantly surprised by the quick service! read more

I was able to customize my orders as I cannot have canned foods (bamboo shoots, baby corn & water chestnuts). The service is fast & efficient. The ambiance is nice but most people take out their food. read more

Food arrived on time, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about it. I ordered kung pao chicken, extra spicy; the only ingredient they got correct was the peanuts. No peppers, no crispy fried chicken, no spice. Just a random assortment of veggies and slimy slivers of chicken in a bland, indestinct gravy. The "fried rice" was just lumpy brown rice that tasted like it had been microwaved. My wife ordered the triple delight. Other than swapping the meat(s), and substituting the peanuts for broccoli, it was exactly the same dish as mine. There may be decent items on the menu (several reviews claim the wonton soup is good), but after wasting almost $40 on a meal that neither of us wanted to finish, we won't be ordering here again. read more

We ordered Chicken Wings and got chicken pieces. We paid a total of $60.00 for our order. When the menu says chicken wings that is what we expect. Not cut up pieces! When I say pieces I mean the wings were all cut up and supposedly equaled up the the number of wings advertised on the menu. That is just a chicken wing cut up! What kind of business is that! If you want wings don't go here! When we got the order home and realized what we had, we were very disappointed! Won't go here again! read more

Before going vegan I used to frequent this restaurant very often! Actually started to preferring it to larger, more popular Chinese food establishments due to the good flavor, portion size, and convenience. (I only live about a 2 minute drive away!) Very rarely did I receive food that was not as ordered or food that was unsatisfactory. A few times I would get seafood mixed into my order improperly or would be given vegetable rolls instead of spring rolls, but I think that was more of a communication error. All my business has since been at other Chinese establishments due to their vegetarian and vegan offerings. Although I would be SO, so willing to return if a vegan orange chicken, chicken and broccoli, or vegan beef and broccoli (or spring roll without egg wash?? maybe a cold spring roll wrapped in rice paper??) would be offered! I look forward to seeing this business continue to expand and hopefully one day returning. :) I used to bring many friends and colleagues here for take out and miss it! read more

We placed a catering order for the teachers at BHES. The owner walked me through various options that would please a variety of tastes and portion sizes of dishes. The food was hot and fresh when we picked it up and made our car smell amazing. I've ordered food from Great Wall before and it's always good, but was very impressed with their catering capabilities as well. read more

Ordered doordash for Father's Day. Sadly underwhelmed by dinner. We ordered chicken fried rice, pork lo mein, steamed dumplings, crab Rangoon, moo shu chicken, and hot and sour soup. The crab Rangoon were pretty decent and the moo shu chicken was good. Everything else was a let down. The dumpling dough was so thick it overpowered the stuffing and that's all I could taste. The soup was indeed hot but lacked sour and depth of flavor. The chicken fried rice made the kids happy but was just rice, onions, and grilled chicken; not much else. Pork lo mein was edible but required a good portion of soy sauce to bring it up to par. The search for good Chinese food in Maryland continues. read more

I grew up in Toronto with lots of Chinese food. It's definitely hard to find authentic Chinese food in the area, but Great Wall is a great place for some fast takeout. As always with most Chinese restaurants, don't expect wonderful service. If you need to get the attention of the staff, just put up your hand. Fast and efficient. read more

Food was dry and flavorless, no matter you order, it tastes the same boring. Their Kung Pao Chicken was awful. Never again

The day after New Years and no one wants to cook, this is where I found myself. One of the only places open and after a late night Chinese sounded like a 5 Star meal. Like most Chinese restaurants, the menu was endless. What made Great Wall stand our was their lunch specials! They provide a huge list of options for around $9-$10. I went with Lo Mein with chicken, and an egg roll on the side. My Lo Mein was easily two meals, and delicious. Plenty of chicken and the sauce was great. The egg rolls were fantastic, and I regretted only getting one after trying it. Perfectly crispy! It did take around 15 minutes to get our order, we took it to go, however we did arrive right when they opened. So there was a small delay being the first customers in. Even so, I'd absolutely go back! read more

Yummy! Used to live on the west coast and I'm always looking for what feels like the chinese food I used to get over there. This satisfied that craving. Placed the order online close to closing on a weekday and received a phone call confirming my order with an ETA for pickup, which I appreciated. Even though I picked up late it was still hot, fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

First and foremost, the service is always spot on. I've ordered carry out during the day, at night, weekdays and weekends, and also have gotten delivery, and everyone is always friendly. We order food here at least once a month and have been doing so for at least five years and I don't think they've ever messed up an order. Second, the food is good. There are some things I like better than others (black bean chicken is my current favorite, and my husband loves the house lo mein), but I don't think we've ever ordered anything we wouldn't get again. Plus the soups are amazing and always arrive hot. By far the best Chinese food in the area. read more

Flavorless mush--waste of money. My husband and I ordered delivery of steamed dumplings, beef and broccoli, and beef chow fun. It was awful and we ended up throwing most of the food away--eating only what we could stomach since we paid for it and had no food in the house. The dumplings were soggy and flavorless--even the soy sauce couldn't redeem them. The beef in both dishes was stringy and fatty, and steamed too much so it was mushy. And the chow fun noodles were so soggy and flavorless--it seemed like they had been soaked in tap water and were just about to turn into a liquid form. We hadn't ordered from there in years, but decided to give it another try. Now we remember why we stopped ordering from them in the first place. And we're truly not picky eaters, so trust me when I say it was awful. read more

My husband says the staff are really nice whenever he goes to pick up our order. I usually get the tofu dishes which are great and full of fresh veggies. My husband got the spicy baby shrimp which was very spicy (in a good way) and full of flavor. He also said the hunan pork was good. The dinner meals provide large portions, we always get at least two meals out of them. We'd recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - Szechuan tofu - Chinese Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

I wanted this to be delicious because it is right in my new neighborhood but it was not good at all. We ordered crab rangoon , egg rolls and szechuan shrimp. The fried items seemed to be fried in oil that was not hot enough so they were a bit tough, although the flavors were not bad. The szechuan sauce was honestly terrible. I'd describe it as catsup-y texture and flavor with a bit of added heat. Very disappointing. It was a clean looking place but I know now why it was pretty empty. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for many years now, and I have not once been disappointed. My favorite dish is General Tso's, which has nicely done pieces of chicken in a thick sauce. I've had it at other places where the sauce is thin and runny, but never here. Many other dishes over the years have fully satisfied, including beef with garlic sauce, sweet & sour chicken, hunan chicken, sesame chicken, peppered steak and others. Recently we had guests from out of town that weren't big fans of Chinese food, and they are still raving about how delicious it was. Damn, now I want some tonight! Very happy to see they started delivering not long ago. read more

I ordered for the first time from this place and have to say I was so very disappointed. I ordered General Tso's Chicken and it was the worst I have ever had. It was dry and hard and maybe was sitting around. Definitely not fresh. I was not late picking it up so that was not the problem. The pork in the fried rice was equally awful. So maybe an "off" night for them. I will give them the benefit of the doubt since this is the first time ordering from them but I won't be ordering again anytime soon. read more

This place is fantastic, never had a bad meal. Owner is very nice and his prices are quite reasonable. Probably the best egg rolls I've ever had at any restaurant. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in Frederick. Service is always good and the dumplings (fried and steamed) are the best you will find around and the wonton soup is great. All the other food is really good (esp fried rice) never had a bad meal here once. read more

I have ordered from here a few times and i just had to leave a review after this most recent experience. I am usually disappointed with frederick chinese food but their crispy beef is amazing and will last me about 3 servings. I have also gotten their fried rice which is pretty good and general tao chicken while my husband enjoys the beef chow fun. The delivery was estimated 50 minutes and came in 30 minutes. I used to drive 35 minutes to eldersburg to get my crispy beef fix but now i don't have to, they deliver!!!! read more

I ordered from this restaurant last night and went through quite the debacle. I've ordered from this company around 1x per week for the last six months and usually it's amazing. They've forgotten minor things in my order 2x before last night but usually they're nice about fixing it. Well, last night was extremely different. I made my order online for delivery and specifically ordered 2 crab rangoons. When they received my order, my best guess is that they manually put it in to their system rather than it being a direct transfer. When my order came I ate it and went to get my rangoons. There was only one. In confusion, looking at my online receipt with two orders listed I called to see what happened. The owner insisted they didn't mess up and over charge me and told me to look for another receipt in the bag. I did and he was right...they didn't over charge me because they put my order in wrong as only 1 Rangoon. I tried to explain I wasn't upset over the amount charged, rather that I had placed my order online because it seemed to be the most pain free and when I received my order no one told me expect less than what I had asked for, because they didn't know, because they didn't double check and make sure their order was correct on their side of things. Rather than apologize for the mix up the owner started condescendingly calling me ma'am, telling me I was wrong for being upset because they didn't over charge me, and then proceeded to LECTURE ME on how long he's been in the food industry. As if that absolves him from ever making a mistake. I've let every other mishap from this restaraunt go, but last night was truly astounding and extremely unprofessional. I tried to upload pictures of the receipts for reference but there's no option for that for some reason. read more

Food was okay.. But I got food poisoning from them. I was sick for 2 weeks and had to be tested for everything. It was from the chicken.. Cambylbacter is the bacteria that was found. The Frederick health department was notified. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Literally waited in the restaurant for 45 minutes. The order itself took an hour in total. Dirty, run down, don't order or give them your money. read more

Waited an hour and a half for the food! When the food got here the dumplings were missing the sauce. This is the second time we tried to give this place a try only because our normal spot doesn't deliver anymore. Never again...I could drive to pick up the food faster!!! read more

The Food here is great! Always hot and fresh. The Singapore rice noodles are fantastic! There egg rolls are crispy I we also love the Hunan Chicken and the Jalapeño chicken. Honestly we have tried a lot of their dishes and haven't had any complaints. Oh and the chicken wings are excellent too! Super crispy and HUGE! read more

Decent... always consistent. Cant say I've ever had a "bad experience". Definitely nothing to write home about though.

Easily one of the best Chinese places in Frederick. You have to try the crispy beef, it's amazing. I've tried crispy beef at many different places, but it is truly the best here. Great service, food is made quickly, always have enjoyed my meal. read more

The food is minimal at best. I have to wonder who these people are that are giving it a 5 start. REALLY the biggest problem is they do not stay open. Several days this year they have been closed for a "BREAK" REALLY, this is not the way to run a business. I can understand if there is a family emergency but BREAK. If you need to close the business then due a scheduled time the same time each year so your locals know. read more

THIS IS THE BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. I love love love the General Tsao's chicken. I don't live in MD anymore, and totally come here every time I am in town visiting family. Chinese is my favorite cuisine- and this place is great. The General is fried perfectly light- the sauce amazing- I salivate just thinking of this place......it is in a little mall area with a food store, coffee shop- plenty of parking. read more

I've ordered from here several times. It's been great every time. Easily one of my favorite Chinese food places. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend. read more
