Since our go to place on 724 went to crap, this is now our go to place. It is very good. A little tricky with parking.

The food here is always delicious and fast. I'm posting their 2026 menu. They have a very wide selection of dishes. Their spicy dishes aren't really that spicy and the American palate can handle them - that isn't a critique at all. If they could make the spicy dishes spicy like sichuan dishes most people in the area could not handle it, needless to say I'm a return customer and will continue frequenting them. They are great! read more

With how close Great Wall is to me, it's a bit surprising I don't eat here on a weekly basis. I suppose it's the health-conscious, more mature me making that decision. As it stands, I eat here maybe twice a year? But when I do, the experience is magical. Absence, as they say, makes the girth of my waist grow fatter and my physical features exceedingly grotesque. This place has just been so damn deliciously consistent. While Tokyo Hibachi and Zhuang's Garden have seen their quality steadily nosedive, Great Wall tastes just as good now as it did the first time I tried it all those years ago. The hot & sour soup is head and shoulders above any other Chinese restaurants' offerings in a 10 mile radius. Now even though I live a few blocks away, I'd drive, well, 10 miles just to have this soup. It has that perfect gloopy, almost gelatinous consistency. This is a gross comparison, but it's almost mucousy? But super flavorful mucous with secret Chinese spices, like MSG. It's so thick, in fact, that you can use it as an impromptu sauce on white rice or lo mein. Perhaps even mei fun if you're feeling adventurous. Great Wall one of the growing number of Chinese restaurants to move away from those foldable white cardboard containers. You know, the ones that everyone eats out of in movies when they're working late at the office. It's so welcome to see those rectangular plastic containers that stack easier and - perhaps most importantly - are microwave safe. Ever put one of those old containers in the microwave, forgetting they have that thin metal handle and nearly explode your microwave and burn the house down? Yeah, not ideal. I have to emphasize the lo mein, a fan favorite. There's something that sets it apart, and I think it's a hint of sautéed garlic. Also they fry off the noodles a bit more, allowing them to absorb all the flavor from the wok. Nothing's worse than bland lo mein. I can't even order it at some places anymore because it's my favorite and they've nearly ruined it for me. Luckily Great Wall has restored my faith. My other go-tos are the moo goo gai pan (a relatively healthy chicken & vegetable dish) and Szechuan chicken (when I want some extra spice). Parking can be tricky since it's right on Penn Ave. West Reading is pretty much back in full gear, so street parking fills up fast, especially in the evenings. The greedy owners of the parking lot across the street would rather have spots go to waste than let people park there and enjoy the downtown atmosphere (unless they pay premium for a parking pass, that is). Fortunately I have never run into any rudeness from the employees. Perhaps it's due to the Asian connection. Even though I'm super American, sometimes I pretend to struggle with the English language so the staff of Chinese restaurants accept me as their own. Hey, it's a dog eat dog world, and you gotta take any advantage you can get to make it out alive. read more

Big Mistake! $78.23 for buffet-quality, take-out Chinese- this place has got some gall. Pineapple Chicken looked more like curry- runny, bright yellow, just sweet. Beef & Scallops- milky, flavorless, snot-like gravy. Sesame Beef, better- but still a disappointment. Beef Chow Fun noodles, smashed into a plastic takeout dish, it was like trying to scoop out a giant wad of paste onto your plate. It felt like everything was Cantonese style, no heat, no peppers, no rich brown sauce. Just that slime that comes with Chicken Chow Mein, no matter what the dish. The compliment is that each dish had a good variety & amount of vegetables- that staple of Chinese cuisine is becoming hard to find. Still, there were too many misses & not enough flavor (even with all the salt) to justify a positive review or the expensive tab. We bought no drinks, no egg rolls or appetizers, wasn't given any sauce packets. $78.23 is a lot even for the variety we ordered. read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - $78.23 on the counter- Beef & Scallops, Pineapple Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, Sesame Beef. - Cantonese Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

Food is tasty and portions are hefty. Lunch time specials are a great deal for combos.

Depending on what you order or when you order, the food is a hit or miss. In the first photo, we have General Tso chicken and pork fried rice (which was ordered on a different day than the other photos). This meal was really good and made well. I was pleased. Now, the other 2 photos are of a meal I ordered on a prior date--Sweet and Sour Chicken with white rice and an egg roll. The chicken and egg roll were visibly over fried. The chicken was hard, dry, and not edible. I didn't even try the egg roll, as it was rock hard. The meal was expensive too, so I was not happy with the service. Overall, I will say that the Great Wall is pricier than other Chinese Restaurants in Berks County. The food is generally good and they deliver to most places. I would not say they're the best around as there are better options with more quality and flavor. read more

The only Chinese take out that delivers to my area, thank you! Food is good quality, never had issues, just a bit pricey nowadays.

Update this Chinese restaurant has excellent food but what I don't like is that they have juiced up their prices so bad especially before and after the pandemic that if you get their menu and compare their prices now in 2022 till like four years ago it's insane it's too expensive but it's delicious I just have to say read more

One of the best Chinese food spots I've been to. Clean, the food is really good, & the prompt service adds to the experience. The eggrolls are good, made to order which makes it so much better. read more

No reating from me they used to be good know the lady is rude and when u oder they send you the wrong thing they aren't worth buying from them anymore read more

Horrible Customer Service. Lady on the phone messed up our order. We asked for chicken and broccoli with no CHICKEN and guess what, all we got was chicken. I decided to call back, and as a business I was hoping they would exchange it but she made us KEEP it and said you had to pay for the CORRECT order. Every-time I order , I decide to order for a bunch of people and I was very unhappy with the service. On top of that another order of BEEF and Broccoli, the beef tasted OLD and uncooked. * Guess What, this will be the last time we order from here. Hope this review helps. read more

So good was my first time ordering from here but it won't be the last. Got food delivered quickly and piping hot. Everything was delicious. read more

The food? I'd give it 4 stars. They literally fill half of the container with meat, which I haven't found at any other Chinese restaurants. Boneless spare ribs, sesame chicken, bourbon chicken, and honey chicken are all good. But the owners of this place are EXTREME tightwads. * The combo prices have went up again and again and again, just since 2014. From $7.25 to $7.75 to $7.95, now they're $8.25! UPDATE: Now $8.35. I guess every time they have to spend money to order new menus, the prices go up. UPDATE: New menus and yet again, a price increase. $8.45 for combos. I wonder if this is the most expensive in the county yet. * This restaurant has seating, but there's no AC in the summer (very hot) and no heat in the winter (so cold that the employees wear winter coats.) UPDATE: There's a window AC running now. Barely. * Coupons are valid only if you pay with cash. * They charge extra to use cards for under $10. * They only buy children's size plastic forks and spoons. * They don't have any plastic knives. * While waiting for an order, I've heard them on the phone telling a customer who received another customer's order by delivery that they (the restaurant) would have to come and pick up the wrong order from each customer and then swap them. And while heating up leftovers from my last order, I found a piece of metal in my food. While I haven't watched their food preparation myself, my dad said it had to have been from the metal wok brush they use. read more

Best Chinese food in the West Reading area by a mile. General Tso's has more of a crispy vibe, which makes for a nice change of pace. And whatever you do, get their Crab Rangoon. Best I've ever had. Always big, creamy pockets of crab/cheese, unlike some places that provide more dough over crab. read more

Stuck at home nursing a broken leg. Ordered deliver and food came on time and no fuss regarding my delivery instructions. Food was hot, tasty and hit the spot. Grateful read more

This place is so unnecessarily rude!!! I made an order for delivery I specifically have them my address and clarified where I lived I was told an ETA and didn't receive my food when I called the lady that answered the phone acted like I was bothering her and to top it all off after I had already waited over an hour for my order she blatantly told me that the delivery driver had literally just left with my food!! Seriously!! Like in what world is this ok??!!! Don't waste your time ordering from this place the hassle you have to go thru just to get your food isn't worth it! Also I want to add that the delivery driver was very nice it's the Customer service representative that was very rude and inconsiderate of my time and money. read more

Ordered Beef & Broccoli, Wonton Soup, and Hot and Soup. Not only was it inexpensive and DELISH, it arrived in 20min when they said the wait time would be 45min. I will definitely be ordering again. Yum! read more

Food was yummy and brown sauce is good did take awhile but it was hot n fresh when arrived .

Best Chinese food I've had in a while! They also did an amazing job with practicing social distancing. They take orders via an intercom system and hand them to you through a window that they creatively made themselves. read more

Ok so I love Chinese food!!! I mean really love it. So when I got to Reading and I wanted some Chinese so I asked around and ordered from this place. It was nasty as ever... I would never order from here again. read more

very good food between chan's and great wall are the two chinese restaurants i order from chan's dont deliver sad so greatwall is the place prices are the same and both have very good food i moved and hope too find a great place like these two keep up the great servies read more

Been going to every chinese take out in the area for 20 years, this place is tide for number one for a place I won't say that's in Wolmelsdorf. They might be a dollar more than most places per order, but the taste, and quality is unbeatable. They also do not skimp on quantity. read more

They charge $1 to use a credit card. They do not warn you about this and when I asked why the person who works the register and phone why they don't let me people know this she rudely proclaimed that its not her job. That is part of customer service so yes it is your job. read more

Surprisingly good, fresh food considering the format. (Not sure what you call this sort of walk up and order "working man's" Chinese place that every neighborhood seems to have.) Crab Rangoon here is particularly tasty. read more

Food is OK but the service is TERRIBLE!! Called in an order for delivery and was told it would be 30-45 minutes. After waiting over an hour, I called to check on the status and was told it was never sent out for delivery and was then hung up on. Disappointing because they do have OK tofu dishes for vegetarians. Just be warned if you are trying to get delivery, it may never show up! read more

Order delivery service to airport hotel. Order was accurate, reasonable $, on time and best if all tasty. Better than average msg combo meals. Hit the stop! read more

Hands down my favorite Chinese place to order delivery and takeout from. They are always on time and the food is always delicious! We have ordered a bunch of different things and haven't been disappointed yet. My favorite is their sesame chicken and beef lo mein! They always give you more than you can eat, so that's always a plus in my boat!! read more

I live in hotels four nights a week, I eat a LOT of take out food. While in Reading PA for the last two weeks I have ordered from THE GREAT WALL four times now. Each time I have gotten GREAT food. the wonton soup, the house chow mein, the teriyaki beef, the boneless spareribs all have been EXCELLENT !. Delivery has been FAST and FRIENDLY , the price is VERY reasonable - especially considering how much food they give you. read more

Buyer Beware!!! Prices have gone up again, food quality has gone down. Ordered Egg rolls with the lunch special and did not receive them. Plus they charged us an extra 50 cents for two extra packets of hot mustard that we could not use since we did not receive the egg rolls - WHAT a RIP OFF!!! This place has gone down hill and I DO NOT recommend it!!! read more

Food is excellent - staff can use a little customer service training. I enjoy Chinese take out and I pass at least 4 other places on my 6 mile drive down 422 because the food is that much better than the rest.... and I simply bite my tongue when the old woman behind the counter starts up. read more

PLEASE...DON'T EVER EAT FROM THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN!! Ordered food from them on March 30th, and food was delivered inside a gray plastic bag filled with mouse poop at the bottom and on top of my Sweet and Sour Sauce. So disgusting!! Threw $30 worth of food away and swear I would never eat there again and warn others. read more

I like the food But the picking up service.. is bad.. I called 20 min ahead and I still have to wait 20 more minutes.. I was a lilt tik from that. read more

Definitely out of our way, but we'll make the trip from now on. Everything we have ordered is delicious. We have tried several close by to us, but have been disappointed - way too much sugar in most dishes. Seriously, we have lived in the area for 11 years and just kind of gave up trying to find a great Chinese food restaurant. We discovered how fantastic Great Wall is after our daughter got a new job in town and her co-workers ordered lunch here. She raved, we ordered, and now we have a new favorite. Their shrimp lo mein and General Tao's chicken are both so flavorful and delicious, with just a slight sweetness. Try their crab rangoon! Spring rolls are much larger than other places and so good! read more

Just finished eating the C5:Crispy Shrimp Szechuan Style that I had delivered. It arrived earlier than expected and hot. It did not look like what I expected but it tasted amazing! The sauce was nice and spicy and the amount was more than I anticipated so now I have left overs! I had no problems ordering and the person on the phone and the delivery guy were very pleasant. read more

Ordered in. Delivered on time. Food was hot. Orange chicken was great! Moo goo gai pan was very good also. Would give 5 stars but rice was not very fluffy. read more

Sesame chicken and the fried wonton are my favorite. Friendly staff and quick service. Open late on weekdays and weekends which is great.

They do take credit cards. Food is fresh and tasty. I'm 52 years old and ate a hell of a lot of Chinese, this place has the absolute best hot and sour soup ever! read more

Great Wall Chinese Restaurant - Absolutely the best Hot & Sour Soup I have ever eaten. - Cantonese Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

They tofu with garlic or Genera Tso is really good. It's not on the menu but written on a piece of paper taped to the wall. Sometimes it's a little too sweet but usually it's very good. My only real complaint is that it could use some vegetables in it. You get a huge bowl of tofu with sauce which will feed several people but I'd prefer 1/2 the tofu and maybe some broccoli. Mu Shu Vegetable is excellent as well. They have a vegetarian eggroll which is tasty and not too greasy. Very large portions and very reasonably priced. read more

My coworkers and I decided to order from here. NEVER AGAIN!!! We found a dead bug on the fork. It looked like a roach but I cannot say for sure. Either way talk about ruining your appetite. I could not even eat the food because I was so grossed out. I have eaten here before and it was okay but nothing amazing. In order to use a credit card you need to buy at least $10 or they won't complete your order. read more

The best Chinese place in Reading, hands down. Me and my boyfriend order regularly and have never had a problem. I order with my credit card all the time and never experienced any rudeness because of it. And the food is always perfect. I highly suggest this place. read more
