The food is great as always, but the prices keep going up for buffet. It used to be $16 weekdays and $18 weekends for lunch buffet and now it's $19 on a weekday ): It's good food it's just getting pricy read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - Dumplings and soy sauce from the buffet - Chinese Near Me - Kankakee, Illinois

We were very excited to order on Christmas Day, placed a large (expensive) order for pick up. We had ordered a couple of orders of sweet and sour chicken, they forgot to put the sweet and sour sauce in the order. Not really sweet and sour chicken without the sauce. We were not going to drive across town again to go back and get it. We were disappointed, but other than that food was great. read more

Food was fantastic and at a reasonable price cute carry out bag sweet and sour chicken could've been a little bit more crispy a bit soggy

Dinner time! Love this place! The Food is always hot and fresh! Ordered the orange chicken dinner and beef Lo Mein noodles a small. Placed my order over the phone and it was ready in 15mins! Can't be that! Mainly why I like Chinese food always ready within minutes. Didn't sit down to eat but did notice it had a buffet and the place seemed clean and well maintained. Food was good and always appetizing. Check me out! read more

I was on a training trip for work and decided to give this a try. $19 for the buffet. It had a large variety of food. It was hot. I tried 3 different soups. I tried the egg drop soup, hot and sour soup and the wonton soup. All good. I loved the fried rice. Crab Rangoon was decent. The pepper steak was tender, while the green pepper and onion were still crispy. Ribs had a good flavor and also very tender. Buffet came with drink and dessert/ice cream. You won't go away hungry! read more

We love this restaurant! They have a very good selection of fresh, hot Chinese food. The staff is very friendly and efficient! Highly recommend! read more

Hands down the best Chinese buffet I've had! My father in law suggested it for dinner and we were very happy he did. Hubby liked the wings. Fried rice, egg rolls and beef and broccoli were some of my favorites. We will be back. For $17 for the buffet and a drink it was reasonably priced as well. read more

Prices are terrible. Use to be a great place to stop for lunch or dinner. Now you get sticker shock when you see your bill. They are pushing loyal customers away with the constant price increase, read more

Also the service was good they got our food when we were done and were very kind UNTIL i droped my ice cream and she whipped me with a towel and told me "You bad boy you make mess you clean now!". Also the ambiance was calm and relaxing read more

Just rude owners. you ask for hot mustard and you get one packet no smiles. The food is OK. There are much better places in the area. I just don't recommend it. Seems like they are unhappy business owners. read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Kankakee, Illinois

We ordered from here & we've not had any problems until like 4 weeks ago. We ordered food from here my coworker ended up with a piece of chicken bone & a piece of metal in her food; be careful when ordering from Great Wall! read more

Wide variety of classic Chinese dishes to choose from along with your basic buffet from restaurants like this. Clean, friendly, and like all restaurants these days, a little higher in price than in the past Overall B+ read more

Pretty much the only game in town, other than the one in Manteno. The other two Chinese places closed down. They serve great food at an affordable price, and they have a large assortment of dishes to choose from. I like that you can order online too. read more

Horrible experience. I called ahead for pricing and they raised the price by the time I got there and were staring at my toddler mumbling to each other about her age like I was a liar. Food was disgusting. Fruit wasn't ripe. Workers were unprofessional. The server was passing gas at the buffet and looking around smiling like it was a joke. Disgusting. Horrible. Worst dining experience. read more

My husband and I can't get enough of this place. Some months we're here atleast once a week. The buffet is always delicious and fair priced. We love trying new things but always go for the trusty staples! Egg rolls, fried rice, cream cheese watons, orange chicken, etc. The staff is so friendly and attentive. They always love interacting with our son (1yo). Highly recommend! read more

Very disappointed after reading the reviews. They forgot my hot and sour soup which is what I was really looking forward to. Fried rice was bland. Orange chicken was pretty good. Probably will not return. read more

Great food as always didn't disappoint! The only thing that disappoints is the tables are always sticky and there's never enough room to sit! And it is not handicap accessible what I mean is the seating is not handicap accessible there's not enough places for handicap people to sit. read more

We have not gone to Great Wall since the pandemic. Decided to try last night. They have changed a lot of their procedures along with the taste of the food. All food is given styrofoam cups, plates, and bowls. Utensils are individually wrapped plasticware. I always go for the soups first. Hot and Sour soup lacked the taste and textures you expect. Two pieces of tofu and one mushroom along with the egg. No layers of flavor in the broth. Egg drop soup was fluorescent yellow. I did not try the wonton soup as the two wontons were dry sitting in a little broth. Next, I tried the veggies. Green beans were a little overcooked. Brocolli with the "beef" was very mushy. That was enough for me. Not worth the $16-17 for the weekend rate. read more

I eat here quite a lot and really enjoy it. There are plenty of gluten free options, or nearly gluten free (I can handle soy sauce). My favorites are the baked fish, cold shrimp, hot & sour soup, salad bar, fresh pineapple, and beef & broccoli. There are also rice noodles with veggies which are gluten free. Food is always nice & hot and everyone who works there is Asian and helpful, kind. read more

The website is accurate when it clearly states they're open for takeout only and they even have hoe long the wait times are for the lunch and dinner meals to be ready. They have delicious food! read more

Local Bites delivery in Bourbonnais is Great Wall of China available to deliver, a awesome fast freindly over the top food delivery Great Wall of China had great tasting dishes, large portion size, fast, and hot. the family enjoyed it, would recommend to others. Do plan to eat from there again with the Local Bites Delivery for home comfort. read more

Excellent food. I'm from Chicago, & compare to some of the best in China Town. I'll definitely keep going back.

I can't believe there are ANY negative reviews on the Great Wall... their food is amazing, fast when ordering, not badly priced for portions AND have always been treated by friendly wait staff and counter staff!!! ALWAYS great!!!! read more

Buffet was not good. All the food tasted the same. This place had a typical salad bar for a chinese buffet but it was the only thing I went back for if that tells you how bad the food was. Cheap nasty meat and soggy veggies. read more

One sentence summary: Great Wall is a standard Chinese buffet that has all of the essentials to help you overstuff yourself with fried, greasy grub to the point where you need a wheel barrow to escort you back to your car. read more

Favorite Chinese buffet in the area. In my experience, buffet trumps take-out. They have a good selection of food, pretty typical of any other Chinese buffet. The food has never seemed like it's been out too long. Prices are great, making it a good value. Would recommend if you find yourself in West Kankakee or craving Chinese. read more

Oh my gosh these portions are going to kill me they're so huge! I got the large sweet and sour chicken and I've eaten it for two meals and STILL HAVE SOME LEFT. I definitely bought too much food. This place is pretty cheap and pretty tasty. It's not gourmet food, but it's good for Bradley Chinese food. Side tip: BUY ALL THEIR ALMOND COOKIES THEY'RE SO GOOD. read more

This is a buffet restaurant with no frills ambiance and a very american food heavy offering. I skipped the buffet and ordered takeout instead. Pros: The staff was friendly, particularly the young woman to took my order and took the time to make quick small talk. The crab rangoon were very full of crab and tasty albeit salty. Cons: The sesame chicken special included chicken which was sprinkled with sesame seeds but had no taste of sesame oil or any other nuanced flavors. Instead, it tasted nearly identical to slightly spicy ketchup, which surprised the heck out of me. From other places, sesame chicken usually has a lightly sweet and spicy sauce that features a sesame, ginger, garlic, vinegar mix or something more complex rather than a heavy handed corn syrup or sugar and tomato taste. The fried rice was burned, not to the eyes but to the mouth. It tasted as if something had burnt onto the grill top and been incorporated into the rice. I also ordered sauteed broccoli. It was fine. I cannot recommend the food here apart from the crab rangoon. read more

Honestly i didn't really like it. Not to many options of Chinese food. Its wasn't what i expect to be and its also a bit expensive. read more

If you're looking for your Chinese fix, this is it. I travel for work all around the Midwest and this rates on the high end of my takeout Chinese food experiences. As another reviewer mentioned, they have all the American Chinese classics and they are done well. Not sure why some others have been rating low but I was extremely satisfied with both the taste and quality of my meal. read more

Pretty rude over the phone. Went and picked up my order and found they didn't get it right. Food was satisfactory given how hungry I was I guess. read more

This greasy joint has the worst Chinese food I've ever had! Yellow fried rice? I ordered shrimp fried rice with extra shrimp and green onions, I got greasy yellow rice with 5 tiny pieces of shrimp and just a few pieces of chopped green onion! I love egg foo young, sometimes I make it myself, it's a very simple dish. I ordered shrimp egg foo young from the Great Wall, well done, extra crispy, It was mushy and tasteless with very little shrimp and the gravy is inedible! I think it was mostly bean sprouts, you need eggs to hold the patties together! Cheap management that serves you the minimal amount of more pricey ingredients, like seafood and meat! The egg rolls are okay if you like paying for shrimp or meat and getting a greasy veggie egg roll. Terrible food and extremely unfriendly and unhelpful customer service! read more

Web site is wrong drove 40 miles to take family put to eat for dine in. Get there and its take out only. What a waste of time...

The food was alright, but the service was terrible. As with the food, there was a fair amount to choose from and it was not too greasy or salty. Regarding the service, I had to obtain my own drinks because the waitress did not come to our table until about twenty minutes after we were seated. Another issue that I had was with how the tables in the restaurant were placed. The tables are placed so close to one another that I had a difficult time walking down the aisles and sitting down at my table without bumping into another customer. read more

I have been there and have done carry out many times. Carry out is quick. The food is good and plenty of it. Very good selection of food. The service is close to average but slightly less. Some communication problem. The food keeps me coming back. read more

I'm extremely disappointed that you sacrificed the quality of your once awesome egg roles for these store bought and disgusting new egg roles. Please change them back or I wont be back. read more

Well this was my third time eating at their buffet and I can safely say I never got sick out of those three visits. That's a definite plus in my book. With that out the way, I will say that this place is a no frills, less than average, Chinese buffet where you can get a quick fix of cheap Chinese into your stomach. Doesn't sound glamorous but for less that $10 it gets the job done. On the menu is your standard orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, white rice, non-existent "crab" rangoon, pot stickers (really they are gyoza style), lo mein noodles, mai fun (white rice noodles), egg foo young, pre packaged eggroll, beef broccoli, etc. It has, pretty much, all of your salty carbs, sub-standard-meats-drenched-in-sodium-high-sauce and greasy fried foods at your disposal. The salad bar I didn't bother looking at. Their deserts are laughingly pathetic which I'm not gonna bother going into but I will say that their soft serve vanilla ice cream coupled with their fried donuts really hits the spot. The drinks are self served. Washroom for men were surprisingly clean, wow!! The waitresses were just simply there to collect your finished plates and other refuse. After that, they would walk around aimlessly like robots looking for something to do or they'd just stand around with their peers staring and gawking at the other customers eating the substandard slop. The place is conveniently and I do stress "conveniently" 5 minutes away from my job. But I would never drive the 45 minutes just to eat over there. I can think of a few places that's 45 minutes away from from home that's worth the drive and this place is definitely not one of them. The 45 minutes is my regular commute to work. In conclusion, food was ok but not great. If you have a big or small family, this is a great place to over dose your loved ones' stomachs with sodium spiked Chinese and msg, all for a cheap price. Plus, you won't be hungry....till after 4 or 5 hours. read more

For me , in the Kankakee area , this place is the best. The one thing about this place is that all the Americanized Chinese classics are there , and they're done well. Also one of the more consistent in terms of freshness and abundance of the food. I can also attest to the cleanliness of the kitchen , and store rooms , as I used to service this restaurant as an exterminator. Notice I didn't mention the bathrooms...little rough. read more
