We definitely recommend the crab rangoons which they give huge portions of.

On my way back from visiting my father one lazy Saturday, I went the opposite direction of my usual route just to stop and get some food. I pulled in and nearly went into the wrong business. Whoopsies. I didn't realize there was a mother restaurant right next to it, a restaurant that used to be in Guilford. I went into the right place, Jumbo, on my second attempt. If I'd been paying attention, I probably could have gotten it right the first time around. I ordered my usual General Tso's tofu and Szechuan tofu. They were both really good and I'm sure I'll be going back to Jumbo soon.

The restaurant was dingy for many years but now it's a little brighter and cleaner feeling inside, and the staff are more friendly. The prices are below average. 10 won tons are $3.50, an egg roll is $1.30, and all the lo mein, chop suey and fried rice are under $5/pint. The combo meals like General Tso's chicken, beef and snow peas, sweet and sour chicken, and chow mei fun are all around $7. Very large dishes, platters, seafood dishes (can't vouch for the seafood) and specialities run about $7 to $15. One of my favorite big dishes is the barbecue spare ribs, which costs about $10 and consists of approximately three hungry college student dinners. Here are my favorite things to get at Great Wall: - Chow mei fun - Lo mein - Egg rolls and won tons - Chicken/pork/beef and broccoli - Sweet and sour dishes Tonight I had won tons, and chop suey for the first time. Flavor was a little anemic. Could have used some hot sauce. The won tons were the bomb. Conclusion: Once you find some staple dishes you , Great Wall is a reliable and inexpensive Chinese place.

We decided to try one last time last night and it was definitely the last. I went to go pick up the food and the girl at the desk was too busy on her phone to look up to acknowledge me. Several people in the kitchen saw me and said nothing to her or came out. There was an open trash can to the side of the counter with the lid open which had flies around it. As far as the food, it was again not good. My husband said his general tso's chicken had no flavor and the rice was dry and had a strange taste to it. The wontons in my soup had a very bad aftertaste and I ended up throwing it away. Not sure what happened to this place but we won't be back.

The side of white rice was in a plastic container (not the traditional oyster pail box). Due to the heat, the plastic lid got warped and had me thinking if it released hazardous fumes into the food.... The order of chicken and broccoli was different than the typical chicken and broccoli commonly found elsewhere. The chicken....was actual chicken. As if it was an actual chicken breast cooked and cut up. It didn't have that soft, spongy and almost boiled feel that we are used to. The flavor was a little bland as well. The roast pork lo mein was decent. The crab rangoons were shaped like purse pouches (not the usual triangles elsewhere). Those rangoons were probably the best ones I've had in a long time and they were accompanied by a good amount of dipping sauce. Would we order again? Not sure. That chicken and broccoli was too weird and unfamiliar for us.

For the main course I ordered ants crawling on trees, which was phenomenal, noodles were cooked perfectly with a good amount of pork, and spices were perfect for the dish.

I've been luxuriating in these leftovers since Sunday. We ordered a ton because it all sounded good in the reviews, and it lived up to them. Two kinds of tofu -- one with pork, one with peanuts. The spicy tofu with pork? Bottle that as a condiment. I might stop by every week just to keep it in my fridge. I liked the peanuts and the flavor in the cold tofu dish, though cold tofu itself might not be for me. The sautéed baby bok choy with shiitakes was perfection. And a pepper shrimp dish that should be ordered in person -- but it disappeared, and I found myself lingering over the delicious salad it nested in long after. Also got the beef noodles. Only the beef noodles had even a hint of soy sauce in them -- everything else was pure spice-driven flavor. We will be back - for delivery again and in person!!!!
