I live about two hours away but was in downtown so we stopped to get dim sum to go. Walked in and loved to see it'd a traditional dim sum restaurant w the huge ballroom and metal carts! I used to live in LA and worked in Pasadena... a heaven for Chinese. So happy to say, I was not disappointed!!! It was SO good. Great selection and authentic taste. My to go order was quick even though I had ordered about 15 items! Their chili oil is delicious, too. Plenty of parking Hargow: DELICIOUS and plump shrimp Shumai: I'm so happy I ordered 2 orders Shrimp and chive dumpling: basic but still delicious Soy noodles: reminds me of childhood. Was as good as any place in San Gabriel, CA Spare ribs: tasty! Curry beef turnover: exceptional. I want one now! Roast pork belly: that skin is CRISPY! Amen. Shrimp rice rolls: their sauce was excellent and most places make it too sweet for me Turnip cakes: a little too oily but still tasty Salt and pepper pork chops: good cut of meat, lacking the salt and pepper taste Sugar cakes: not too sweet and good texture So happy to have authentic Chinese in Arizona after my move! THANK YOU, GREAT WALL CUISINE!! I'll drive two hours any time for you. read more

Visited Great Wall Cuisine while in Phoenix. First off, it's only fair to say this review can't compare to my in-laws' famous and highly rated upscale Chinese restaurant -- which also happens to carry Great Wall as part of the name. That said, expectations adjusted, this spot delivers a solid yum cha experience for Arizona. As you pull in, you'll notice it's located in an unassuming strip mall. Inside, the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect -- controlled chaos, with traditional steam carts rolling through a packed dining room filled with large family tables. The service is hit or miss, and with dim sum you often want your favorites right away, so sometimes you just have to wait for the cart to come around. Tried a variety of dishes. The Cheung Fun has always been a favorite of mine and it was decent. The Shumai, Har Gow, Char Siu Bao, Lo Bak Go, Taro, and of course Dan Tat (egg tarts) were all good. I think I'm officially done ordering Wu Gok though -- that one didn't do much for me and probably won't be on my list next time. Almost forgot, you can't have yum cha without Gai Lan, and as usual it was good -- honestly a dish that's hard to mess up. Overall, the best dim sum I've had so far in Arizona. PS -- thanks Joyce W for the recommendation. Saluti read more

Sat off to the side... white guy.... It happens.... Though my wife is Chinese. Glass bowl sticky rice served ice cold as were the pot stickers... COLD! The peedan jook had good stock but no eggs in it. We also did not get most of the variety carts. The steamed pork buns were the best part of the meal and the white people like these very much. My wife tried speaking Chinese to the help but got little help so we left. We had been here many years ago and it was better then. Sign me disappointed. Oh well. Will try dim sum elsewhere. read more

This place is a Chinese staple in the west valley. Don't know how I haven't written a review as I've been here countless times for dim sum, dinners, and celebrations. Came by with my family on a Sunday evening for dinner. It wasn't prime time dim sum hours so there was no wait and plenty of seating available. Took a gander at their extensive menu and went with crab and fish maw soup, Hainanese chicken, walnut shrimp, fried crispy tofu, braised tofu, scallops with black bean sauce, and the soy sauce egg noodles (from dim sum). Everything came out quickly as usual and tasted great. Service is improved as they have started boxing up your leftovers. We were laughing from the surprise of this step up. Good place that needs no further explanation. See you all there! read more

By far, the best Chinese food we have had in Phoenix. We were a party of 12. Huge menu, generous portions, excellent service, reasonable prices, typical ambiance for a large Chinese restaurant - dated and almost commercial. Not sure the neighborhood is overly safe, but that's not the restaurant's fault! Again, excellent food! read more

I love dim sum and live in the east valley. I wanted to go back to Great Wall since it's been a few months since I last visited. What I love about the Great Wall is the variety of dim sum is incredible. The amount of dishes that come out on carts is like a roving buffet. Once seated it feels like the carts all swarm and you can literally have food on the table within minutes. The siu mai is the largest in the valley and one of my favorites. As in most Chinese restaurants, fast and efficient is synonymous with good service. There is usually very little conversation with the service staff but they get you what you need. This place is probably the best in the valley for dim sum and I would gladly make the drive out west. read more

Great Wall is my favorite destination for dim sum. I dropped in to get a few small plates for lunch, and it made me regret going a few months without having visited. It's always delicious. This place isn't much to look at. The outside is super unassuming and the interior is passable. They've definitely made some cosmetic improvements to the place, but if you're hoping for a more ambiant experience, this isn't for you. Great Wall has built its reputation on consistently yummy, authentic Chinese food, not aesthetics. This trip, I opted for a few of my favorite staples. Their jalapeño fried wings are always fire. They are larger wings and drums, so you always get a good amount of meat on each piece. The batter is fried nice and crispy, but the chicken itself is moist and delicious. The pork and shrimp shumai are another favorite. I will get at least one order of them every single time I go, no exceptions. The third dish was another pork dumpling steamed and then pan fried a bit for a delicious texture. Not pictured was a shrimp dumpling that was full of flavor. The real ones know when you go here, you have to ask for or help yourself to their chili oil. You mix it with a little red wine vinegar and it makes the best dipping sauce for all your selections. Also, Saturday and Sunday lunch service is the best time to go for dim sum. It's busy, and that means the dim sum carts are replenished often with hot, fresh options. For four reasonably sized dishes, I paid $33 and change, plus tip. I took home a box of leftovers, so I would say Great Wall offers great value for your dollar. read more

Early 2026 we came at 4 pm to try the food. We learned that the weekday dim sum service stops at 2 pm. We ordered 5 entrees and enjoyed an excellent meal served by really nice waitstaff who had a great sense of humor. We enjoyed the excellent service and the meal. We had Snap Peas, Bamboo Shoots and Shiitake Mushrooms; Sweet and Sour Chicken; Fried Oysters; Shrimp Egg Fu Young in a very nice sauce, and "Boston Lobster" (aka American Lobster) sautéed with Ginger and Scallions; and Chili Oil, a pot of Green Tea and white Rice. The huge dining area was empty when we arrived. Many diners arrived about 6 pm. read more

Decent to very good dim sum. For my preference, the temperature of the dim sum can stand to be hotter. Other entrees like roast pork, crispy pan fried egg noodles and peking duck taste authentic. Service is also ok. read more

I am the president of the Az Asian Chamber of Commerce and we have been hosting our events here for many many years and we LOVE Donald and the team at Great Wall. They are An amazing, family style Chinese place that also does dim sum and has room for great banquets. This is a Chinese staple of Phoenix and we love it. The food is amazing! The service is amazing! The people are amazing! read more

There is ample parking and the outside isn't much, but the inside is huge. We got there right at 10 when they opened and were sat immediately. They had plenty of pushcarts, but we did notice towards the end of our meal more/new items were coming out as the kitchen was probably hitting their stride. Overall the staff was nice but we did have to ask for a lot of things (refilling water; I went up to grab our own takeaway boxes). Since lunar new year is 2 days away I was hoping for more celebratory decor (there was a large horse banner at the front entrance). You line up to pay (versus them adding it up for you at the table). read more

Food: 3 stars - Ordered 2 small lobsters (2 small lobsters for $40), walnut shrimp ($23), deep fried crispy tofu ($17), snow pea leaves ($29), 1/2 roast duck ($22), and beef with Chinese broccoli ($22). We also ordered hot tea to drink for 3 adults. The preggo wife was craving Chinese food so we made the drive and made sure her cravings were satisfied. We ordered for 5-6 people even though it was just me, my mom, my pregnant wife, and our 17 month old toddler. We don't mind leftovers and wanted the variety as we do not come here for dinner very often. My gripes - the deep fried crispy tofu was not crispy, the walnut shrimp batter needed to be more crunchy, and the roast duck skin could have been crispier too. We paid almost $190 (after tip) for 6 dishes. Are they including a tariff tax? Service: 4 stars - got seated quickly as they were not busy. Some servers spoke Vietnamese so it was nice to be able to describe the dishes we wanted in Vietnamese and have them understand us to help place our order. The food came out quick and when we were finished, they packed up our leftovers for us as well. Ambiance: 4 stars - throughout the years, this place has definitely improved as they grew and became more "mainstream" if you will. This used to be a "hole-in-the-wall" kind of spot that did not bring in a large variety of patrons but with the growth in the area and popularity of dim sum, they have been able to clean the place up quite a bit. The front doors could use an upgrade though. Overall: 3 stars - the quality and value of food is always going to hold the most weight in my ratings for a restaurant. I have eaten here for dim sum many times and may return to give a separate review for dim sum service. However, this dinner service was good, but not great and far from perfect. I think a 3 star overall rating is solid for a place like this during dinner service. I wouldn't come back often or regularly but would recommend if y'all are craving those traditional Chinese dishes. read more

Went for dim sum brunch with friends and left so full. the pricing was reasonable and there were plenty of shrimp options (big for me because I'm pescatarian). I will say that if you're vegetarian, you can put in an order for more veg-friendly options, otherwise, you may not get a lot to eat. I loved all the shrimp dumplings, but also tried the radish squares for the first time which were so yummy. Remember to ask for chili oil if you like a little heat! And you have to finish your meal with a hong kong style egg tart and one of the sesame balls with red bean paste. The service was great. No frills, and super efficient. Make sure you grab as much as you want when the cart comes around. read more

We waited about 15 minutes for a table on a Saturday. The dim sum cart was waiting at our table when we were seated. It was nice to see the carts. It's a lost perk during dim sum. We ordered all the dishes we wanted within 10 minutes. We were eating before our tea arrived. The dim sum was good and it was good portions. It was a crowded dining room and service was quick. read more

I lived on the west coast for many years and became accustomed to the best in just about every style of Asian food there is. Since moving to Phoenix, it's been very hit and miss with Asian cuisine and mostly miss with Chinese. One meal that I've missed the most is Dim Sum. So, I Yelped Dim Sum. It looks like Great Wall Cuisine is about the only game in town! I had a long drive to get there. Being in the heart of Maryvale, there was a lot of homelessness and some concern about the area. Upon arrival, the external appearance of the restaurant was rundown and concerning. We parked and went inside to find the very large restaurant sparsely decorated an maximized for seating. To my surprise, the crowd was family oriented and really good, which was in contrast to what I had experienced outdoors. It took a little while, but once seated, the carts zeroed in on us! It was a whirlwind of dish after dish! Everything we had was fresh and delicious! Great wall is definitely real-deal Dim Sum. And when I get that Dim Sum craving again, Great Wall will be my go to for sure! read more

I'm fairly surprised that there's good Dim Sum in Arizona, as someone that's from California I've had my share of different restaurants. It's very comparable and even better than some of the places I've had. They have carts coming around that you can order items off of. Everything is very fresh and comes out piping hot (only acceptable way). As it is an Asian restaurant, some things are self-serve and aren't over the top service. However, be patient and don't be discouraged if you don't speak Chinese/Vietnamese because the food is worth it. The restaurant is very dim and seems to be a little outdated. For Dim Sum, it is one of the cheaper spots. I don't love that they open at 10am and wished that they opened earlier. It was super busy on a Sunday morning, people were waiting before the store even opened. ig: @cravingswithcaf read more

Loved the throw back to Hong Kong dim sum houses! Ladies and men I could practice my paltry Cantonese with. Their charsiu barbecue pork baked buns, steamed pao are top notch. Their ou kok or fried taro dumplings are fresh and tasty and so was their fupeikuen or beancurd skin rolls that was in broth. These almost made up for not having siewlongpao or soup dumplings. The taro cake was okay. Loved their crispy roast pork. Sesame balls with red bean paste are Yessss. Egg tart was meh. Mango pudding was okay. No to the century egg porridge. The large chunks of meat was off putting. Review #999 read more

My friend and I came here specifically for dim sum, which starts right at the restaurant's opening time at 11AM. I was surprised to see how packed the place was so early in the morning!! This place is definitely a town favorite. We ordered many variations of dim sum, such as chicken feet (they're fall off the bone!), shu mai, har gow, shrimp rice rolls, beef tripe & steamed buns. I really appreciate dim sum that are huge and far from it being too greasy/oily in taste-- I can see why this place was already packed first thing in the morning! I wasn't a big fan of the beef tripe as it didn't taste like it was cleaned well compared to other beef tripe I've tried and the steamed buns weren't as flavorful as I expected them to be but all the other dim sum with their chili oil was magnifique!!!! Unfortunately, my friend and I got fun quite quickly so we didn't have enough space in our stomachs for more LOL Would love to come back again! read more

I came here with a part of 4 during the lunch rush on a Saturday afternoon, and to my surprise we were seated immediately. One thing I love about traditional dim sum restaurants - you don't have to wait for a server to take your order! Right when we were seated, multiple carts rolled by and we were able to easily pick and choose what we wanted. Unfortunately, since the food is rolled around on the carts, not everything you order will be warm, however everything still tasted great. The only thing I can complain about is that we were seated for about 20 minutes and still did not have a server check up on us. I had to flag another worker down just to get some water and order additional entrees from the menu. The servers did not seem super friendly, but after eating in multiple dim sum restaurants in my life, I noticed this was pretty much the norm. They don't mean to come off as rude, this is just how they speak in their culture. Also, when it's super busy, making conversation isn't their top priority. Aside from the service, this is a great place to come with a large group if you're in the mood for some dim sum. There is a large parking lot out front, so parking is no issue here. I would recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Yes, this place is popping like crazy on weekends for Dim Sum. Be patience, get your way to the front to get a # to be seated. Then now you wait! Once you are seated, get a stamp card for food, then LET the EATING begin. Great Wall serves Hong Kong-style Dim Sum on weekends. You can wait for the carts to come by to see what they have or ask your server if you don't see your item. You can also order the regular menu too. I have also been here for many times for dinner too. They have great selection. read more

Pretty decent dim sum experience, not the best I've ever had but it hit the spot while visiting AZ. Huge ballroom type atmosphere with the steamer carts rolling around. The ladies were friendly enough offering their dishes, although make sure you know what you like, as usual not much communication is possible. I did feel some of the dishes were not as hot or fresh as they should be , and with the huge amount of staff things could have been done a little better. Overall would still go back tho . read more

READ if you never been. Good place to get dim sum in the area. Not the best but surprisingly good. Service was excellent. They were very attentive with refilling drinks and covering around with food.. Let's start with the service. For those who have complained in the past that the service is bad, this is expected. There is a language barrier and they want to be as efficient as possible. You need to be decisive of what you want and ask them directly what the items are. They need to move the line because other tables are waiting for food too. If you are undecided about the food, you're not gonna enjoy the service experience. Just take a risk and order a bunch of stuff. I did not see anything out of the ordinary. As for the food, everything was pretty good. My favorite were the shrimp eggrolls, Chinese broccoli, and the fried shrimp tofu. All the dumplings were really good, shrimp, pork, beef. The only miss was the sticky rice, which was undercooked. The desserts was really good. We ordered some mango custards and the almond dessert. read more

Came here for some dim sum because someone said it was pretty good and to come early because they are busy.. Drove 35 mins got here 5 mins after they opened on Sunday morning.. Party of six got sat right away. Pretty good selections of different type of food. I did hear they are little bit on the expensive side. Well all I can say is pure disappointment. This sticky rice that came on a plate had some weired funky taste I could not handle. Peiking duck was not bad. Over all all the dimsum were mediacore. Didn't order crazy amount of food but still came out to be $220. Definitely not worth the drive or money... By the time we left there were lot of people waiting to eat. Don't know why.. Definitely would not come back here. read more

There aren't that many good authentic Chinese restaurants in Phoenix, this one is pretty good. We had Chinese New Years dinner with friends here tonight. We ordered lots of different dishes, from fish to chicken to lamb to shrimp to lobster, and fried rice and noodles. Everything was pretty tasty. We started with the crab meat and fish soup, that was very good. Then the Walnut Shrimp was excellent. The steamed fish was also good, and my son especially liked to eat white rice with a little of the fish broth on top. The pork knuckle? The lamb hotpot? Not sure about the English names. I feel like a lot of these dishes were not on the everyday menu, probably just for the Chinese New Years. The Fukien Fried Rice is not your typical fried rice, it's more soggy, but I like it. The lobster noodles was delicious. read more

I had visitors for Christmas and they wanted dim sum that served congee. I looked at other reviews on Google etc and found this spot was amazing per customers. We got in and got seated right away on Christmas afternoon for 3 people. It was busy but not too packed. The place was spacious so lots of spots. However, the food was lacking. We were advised there was no congee and we only got veggies, bbq pork bao buns and fried chicken wings. There's was literally nothing else that came by. I gave this a two stars as the seating was quick and the food that we did eat was good but not enough variety. read more

Dim Sum restaurants are few and far between in Arizona! I'd have to drive 45 minutes to an hour to Mesa or Chandler to get dim sum! Then I found Great Wall Cuisine!

They even have garlic abalone! I haven't tried it yet but it's definitely in the to-do list! They have both Peking and Crispy duck! The fried pork belly is off the charts! Killer desserts! Sui Mai!
