My family and I came for Sunday Dim sum. Have been looking for an authentic dimsum spot and this place has been heavily recommended to us. The service is super swift. They were pretty nice to us. The food variety was honestly amazing. Enjoyed the shumai and shrimp balls the most. Ambiance feels busy, loud but tons of food options for all. The place seems well kept. Would come back!
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!
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
10/11/26: 5 diners for the best Dim Sum in the valley. Everything is so fresh, hot and tasty coming off the dim sum carts. We also ordered 2 noodle dishes, Beef chow fun and chicken pan fried noodles, that were tasty, hot and a lot of food. On Sundays, they open at 10a and it was packed at 11am. Great environment to have a casual conversation while enjoying an awesome meal! Highly recommend and we will be back next month!
My parents and brother regularly have dim sum in OC and LA, so it was a pleasant surprise to find a hole in the wall/legit dim sum in Phoenix. Also, let's be realistic. Is this a 4 star restaurant overall? Of course not. Is this 4 star hole in the wall Chinese restaurant that is sorta ghetto but the food is good due to scarcity? You betcha. 99% of the servers and patrons are Chinese immigrants and it was great to have so many dishes from my childhood like pork spare ribs, pork buns, and har gow. Just dont expect the cleanest restaurant or even a nice smelling one. I mean, they store the plastic wrapped dessert cart right next to the open fish tanks of crabs, lobsters, and geoduck. Just come here with right-sized expectations and know that although dim sum goes till 3 pm, a lot of stuff can run out before noon especially on the weekends.
Note: we came only for their weekend dim sum. Got seated within 15min on a busy Sat lunch - we love how the tables move pretty fast if you get here early enough. As soon as we were seated the server got our drink order and cindiment requests. Shortly after, the ladies followed with all the food carts. We enjoyed our favorites, but we forgot to take picture of ha ching (shrimp rice rolls), pork belly, sesame balls. While some of the other dim sum restaurants are reducing menu options, using less expensive ingredients or shortcut techniques to clean mbat the rising costs, we are grateful this restaurant continues to maintain its standard.
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.
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.
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.
My granddaughter asked to eat here before leaving AZ. I must say that I was a little suspicious since I didn't think she liked Chinese food. Haha. It was like being in Hawaii with the Cantonese style food. Chow fun, dim sum and full regular menu too. It was all good.
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.

My favorite dessert growing up. Dim Sum is a staple as a family to eat here as a treat every once in a while. The service is wonderful they always talk to my children and greet them. It's a restaurant I grew up in and my family association dinners as well as Chinese New Year celebration dinner has been here every year since before I was born. As an American born Cantonese we haven't found any place that is authentic here in Phoenix aside from Great Wall. We celebrate here often. It's our favorite place as a family. The decor is always impressive and the environment reminds me of when I was little running around looking at the fish inside. read more

Second time here, this time for dim sum, place is hopping and I can taste why, good stuff not HK or LA good but darn decent for Phoenix and explains all the Chinese inside 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

I've been going to Great Wall ever since I was a kid so I love it here. The dim sum is my favorite in AZ! I took off a star because they took the prices off of their dim sum menu so I don't know how much everything is sometimes lol but I usually get the same things read more

It's been quite some time since I've been here and it's still a pleasure! I am so grateful for the wonderful staff, and their hospitality. The food was perfectly warm and savory. I loved the honey walnut shrimp, and the fried rice. I got to try new dishes and they were super delicious! The restaurant is big and spacious. So homey and just the perfect place for family dinner. I hope to return to see the restaurant in its element. A must visit and a new to my list of musts! 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

Don't let the decor / area fool you. This place has some of the best Chinese food we've had in the valley. Not saying they are the best, but it ranked highest for us. You won't get a menu to choose from but rather they bring carts filled with food and you select what you want and they write it down on the order card left at your table. What an experience we had trying new things, anxiously awaiting what was on the next cart and either passing up what we didn't care for or grabbing what we could since we knew it would be 5 or so minutes before they came around again. Loved the shrimp potstickers, shumai and pineapple custard buns. BBQ pork / beef were on my 1st things to try and wasn't disappointed. 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

I came by on Sunday with my family and we arrived right after dim sum had concluded for the day. I didn't know there were specific times set for dim sum so I was bummed out when we were told we had just missed it. We decided to stay for their dinner menu and I'm so glad that we did. We had several different servers through out our meal and they were all very attentive and friendly. We ordered the following: Sweet and sour soup Egg roll, crab ragoon, and fried shrimp platter White rice Fried rice Mongolian beef Kung pao shrimp - no peanuts Chicken with lobster sauce Chinese broccoli Green tea All these entrees came with the dinner meal which in total was about $25 per person. The broccoli was not included and that itself was about $18. The food was delicious and this went for every single plate we ate. Everything was flavorful and tasted fresh. The proteins were there and they were not stingy about it. My favorite had to have been the chicken with lobster sauce, mmm. The Mongolian beef was also another good one as the meat was cooked well and it was easy to chew. The inside is big and has plenty of tables. They weren't too busy while we were there but when we left, larger groups started arriving. Our grand total was $116. (tip included) Service was great and our food was delicious! It was a pretty far voyage for me since I live in the east valley but it was so worth it. I will definitely be back soon for some dim sum. read more
We were on a golf trip in Arizona and decided to try some dim sum. Great Wall Cuisine was recommended as the best dim sum in Arizona so we decided to give it a try. This restaurant is located in an unassuming strip. Not very clean and service is okay. This may be the greatest dim sum for Arizona but our group of 9 would not give this establishment more than 2 stars! We went early when it opened at 11:00 am. The dim sum dishes taken off the cart were COLD and we wanted to return it (but we didn't want something done to our other orders...)! The meatball was absolutely horrible, like being served leftover meatball out of the refrigerator from the night before and serving it to your customer without heating it up? The shrimp ball (hai gow) and the sui mai wasn't much better.... Also COLD. Almost every single dish we took off the cart was cold. We also ordered two dishes that had to be cooked; Chow Fun and Chow Mein (gee mein). These two dishes would be the only food I'd rate higher because it was hot. I can't even say if the food tasted good because nothing taste good if you are expecting fresh cooked food but get cold, leftover food! Would not recommend this restaurant as the best dim sum unless you like cold dim sum, mediocre ambiance and nothing special service. 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! Authentic, old school, delicious dim sum! It's a large place! On weekends and I think Monday they push the carts around and you select your items off each cart! They have tanks with live seafood! 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! Har Gow and steamed pork buns are my favorites! (Pork dumpling, shrimp dumpling and char sui bbq pork in a fluffy steamed bun! Tomorrow is Sunday one of the best days! I just talked myself into making a trip after posting this review!! Yum read more

My daughter has been wanting to come here because she sees a lot of reviews on TikTok saying it's authentic, good dim sum. We made it in today at 2:00pm and were welcomed and seated immediately. We were offered stir fried noodles and coconut buns right away. We ordered hot green tea and waters. Another server with a cart arrived and we asked for the dumplings and rice noodles with beef. The noodles were warmish to cold which worried me a bit. We sat for a while not sure what to do next. As the next server with a cart of spare rib, chicken feet, shrimp scallop dumplings and sticky rice walked up, we asked about ordering. She was impatient and short with us. The restaurant is quite loud so I asked if she could repeat the items in the cart for me, sitting further away. She shook her head with and angry look on her face and sighed and acted condescending as she repeated the items and slammed the lids after each item. At this point, my daughter said we should have just gotten up and left. We stayed a while longer, shocked, then I got up and went to the front to pay the bill. The whole trip felt confusing and extremely negative for us. None of us want to return. I ended up spending $47 and didn't even get a full meal and left hungry. I feel like I missed something and should have maybe asked Yelp friends beforehand how to act in this restaurant. There are several four-star reviews from friends whose opinion I trust. read more

One of the best family dinners I've had in a while -- Great Wall does not disappoint. Let's start with the lobster yee mein -- the noodles are imported straight from Hong Kong, and you can absolutely tell. They're perfectly springy, soaked in the lobster's rich sauce, and just full of umami. The lobster itself was fresh and tender, no rubbery texture at all. Easily the highlight of the night. But a surprise favorite was the ginger scallion frog. If you've never had frog before, this is the dish to try it. The meat was super tender and had that clean, slightly sweet flavor that's often compared to chicken but even more delicate. The ginger, scallions, and light garlic sauce gave it so much depth without overpowering the natural taste of the frog. Cooked just right -- no chewiness, no dryness, just flavorful bites all the way through. We also had classics like salt and pepper pork chops, sweet and sour pork, concubine chicken, fried rice, and stir-fried green beans. Everything came out hot and fresh, and portions were generous -- great for sharing around a big lazy Susan. As for the service, it was excellent. The staff was super attentive without being pushy. Dishes arrived fast and in good order, and they were great about clearing plates and checking in just enough. You really felt like they cared about your experience, even though the place was busy. If you're looking for an authentic Chinese banquet-style meal with quality ingredients and solid service, Great Wall should be at the top of your list. I'll definitely be returning with friends and family again soon read more
I'll admit... as a Bay Area native, I was very skeptical of Great Wall Cuisine. I didn't know whether the dim sum would be worth eating. But rest assured, this restaurant even got my dad's approval! What I love about Great Wall, which apparently has been in business for almost 60 years, is that the waiters and waitresses still continue the dim sum cart tradition. I had thought that many - if not all - dim sum restos had abandoned the carts after the pandemic. Overall, it brought back very fond memories of visiting dim sum restaurants back home with my family for a relaxing mid-morning lunch. All the items we ordered - including the har cheong fun, steamed beef tripe, and lotus rice - tasted almost on par to the dim sum places back home. Best of all, the waiters and waitresses were thrilled to be able to speak to us in Cantonese! The next time I'm back in Phoenix, I will be sure to pay Great Wall another visit. read more

Amazing dim sum! My favorites are the custard buns, shu mai, crispy shrimp rolls, and chicken wings. I recommend visiting on weekends before 3PM for the widest selection. There is dim sum on weekdays too, but the options are more limited. read more

This dim sum place was well worth the trek from the southeast valley, it's probably my favorite in the greater Phoenix area. There were just SO many options, and everything was fresh/hot and tasted great. Shu Mai is always my go-to dumpling, and it did not disappoint; I also loved the stir fried wide rice noodles (don't recall the name of the dish). Service was good - for a dim sum place so large, it was surprising we weren't waiting more for certain carts to come around. read more

Didn't make it in time for the dim sum (ends at 3pm on weekends) but tried the regular menu out. The hot n sour soup was really good. We don't eat pork so they made sure even when they brought the soup out that it was chicken and that was very kind. We also got a shrimp fried rice which was OK (shrimp tasted a bit too fishy for my taste) and the peppered beef which was AMAZING. I would love to come back to try the dim sum but over all decent place for Chinese if you're in the area. They also brought out some orange slices at the end of our meal to cleanse our pallete which was also incredibly nice. The staff were kind and for the most part attentive. read more

First time at Great Wall and it was It was good. This was my first dim sum experience and first time dining at Great Wall and I absolutely loved it. The parking lot was busy, the restaurant was packed, but it was well worth the wait. On this visitvwe shared, Crab Puffs, Noodles Chow Fun, 2 Dim Sum Dishes, Peking Pork Chops, Rice, Walnut Shrimp, and Dumplings, Every single dish was authentic, fresh, well prepared, and delicious. Reminded me of the restaurants back home in New York. If you are seeking a wonderful Cantonese dim sum meal this is your stop, you won't be disappointed. The food is delicious, the service is great, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the prices are reasonable. read more
Great Wall Cuisine was out Saturday afternoon lunch pick. We arrived a little late for lunch, but while they looked busy, they seated us right away. They had plenty of carts with Dim Sum coming around. Lots of yummy food! The staff was nice. The restaurant looked like a throwback to my east coast days as a kid. Large room with lots of tables, but with the ability to divide the room if needed with removable walls. Good experience and great food! read more

Interesting experience here tonight for our first visit. We walked in to find a huge, semi-formal banquet celebrating the lunar new year. As it turns out, they had a separate, small area curtained off for those not celebrating. We were seated in this back area, but considering the festivities in the main room, perhaps we should've been celebrating after all. The menu is huge, and everything is reasonably priced. We split a huge bowl of hot and sour soup. The three of us each had two cups, and there was still some left in the bowl. Not the best hot and sour I've ever had, but I've definitely had worse. Same goes for the egg rolls. The three of us split the Mongolian beef, orange chicken, and pork fried rice. The beef and rice were both very good, but the orange chicken was just fair. We ate as much as we could but still left some on the platters. We definitely didn't leave hungry. Service was a bit spotty, but again, there was a party going on next door, so hard to complain too much. read more
I got dim sum this time, it's good, not the best I have had in my life (i've had it in Chicago, LA, Hong Kong so standards are high). I left it 5 star due to dinner being so good and it still being one of the best in Phoenix area. If you want something and it's not on the cart, ask and they can get it ordered for you. The Pineapple Buns actually have custard inside them, it makes it so yum. If you want dim sum, this is the place to go on the west side. read more
