I can't believe I finally found an authentic dim sum spot in Phoenix! I missed dim sum since I arrived after 3pm, but I'm already planning to come back soon. This time, I tried the steamed chicken, and it was the best I've ever had--it's my favorite, and I crave it all the time! I just wish this place wasn't so far from my house, or I'd be here all the time. It's legit and truly authentic! read more

Nope. Went with party of 9 to celebrate a birthday. The borthday boy wanted dim sum from a cart service. Done. I generally love dim sum. I did not like this experience nor did I love their dim sum. Many dim sum options had an insane amount of small shrimp in them. Loud environment. Banquet tables. Uncomfortable chairs. It was Hard to receive and see all the roaming food cart options. Very busy and chaotic. Not very good table service. Nobody wanted to give a brief menu review or explain ordering process once we were seated. Not terribly hard to navigate it, but we probably could have enjoyed our visit with just a tiny bit of table service. Dim sum was good. Not great. Baby kimchi from kitchen was spectacular. read more

This has been my go to dim sum place ever since Golden Buddha closed. If you're only going off the taste of the food alone, I would say this is the best dim sum place currently in Arizona. Some of my favorites of their dim sum dishes include, the beef cheong fun, shrimp cheong fun, shu mai, har gow, bean curd roll, and lo mai fan. If you're not able to come for dim sum or just not a dim sum person, they also have a great menu too. Lots of authentic Chinese dishes offered. Some of my favorite dishes off their menu include salt and pepper quail and basil clams. You can also never go wrong with their delicious ginger and scallion crab or lobster. Okay, yes. This place is old, it's been a staple in the valley for over thirty years. Could they make improvements? Sure. However, like a friend of mine says for these types of places, "you come for the food, not for the service or ambiance." read more

This is a good dim sum place. It's fun to try a lot of different items and everything I tried was very good. My favorite are sticky rice, shrimp rice roll, and shrimp dumplings (har gow). Only downside is that it's in a pretty sketchy area of town and the restaurant needs to be renovated, but you're coming here for the food, not for ambience. read more

I did not get to try any of the food. The one star is strictly for the service during my one and only visit. I tried to walk in and place a to-go order. As I grabbed a paper menu off the front counter, neither of the two workers even made eye contact with me. I sat down to look at it for about 3 minutes and they still didn't acknowledge me, nor did the hostess who had walked up (because she heard the door open). Three workers and no eye contact. That's all I needed to put the paper menu back and walk out. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I WOULD. I have been coming here for over 7 years and never have I experienced such a horrible experience as I did today. Today I went in during dim sum hours and I began picking out dim sum from the carts. My boyfriend picked up a piece shu mai, and he saw what was the bottom portion of a ROACH. Yes, you heard that right a ROACH. Me and my boyfriend sat their and examined it to ensure we were not just being paranoid. After confirming it indeed was the bottom part of a roach, I called one of the workers and after telling this worker (tall, hair in a ponytail, and glasses) I found a roach in my food, he looked at the napkin and looked at me and said I give you five dollars off. I stared at him with a blank face and he asked what dish was it on and I pointed to the one and he picked it up and left. He came back and he wrote canceled on one of the small item boxes. He didn't apologize, he didn't seem to budge about a roach being found in our food. Me and my boyfriend sat there in disbelief at how he handled the situation. I could of exploded of how upset I was. But because I have been coming here for so long I decided to just keep it civil and pay for the food and leave. This was by far the worst experience and would not recommend anyone to go somewhere that has roaches falling into their food and won't take accountability. read more

So just to be clear, the five star review is strictly for the food. Dis is a dim sum spot and dim sum. Excuse da pun. Great spot for authentic dim sum. Venue is so so, but to me it adds to the authenticity of the usual hustle and bustle of a dim sum experience. Food will make up for any grievances you might have with venue and service. Prices are descent as well...ur welcome. read more

Would be 4.5 in my book. Took some friends that have never had Dim Sum before and they loved it. Of course they both loved the siu mai the most followed by the chow fun noodles. They did also like the har gow and Chinese broccoli. I thought they did a great job of turning tables over to get customers in and out on a busy Sunday! Staff was very nice and patient with my friends who had questions about what they had in their carts. Probably the most authentic Dim Sum spot in Valley. read more

Excellent food and service. Very clean and the atmosphere was just lovely. My family and I enjoyed it!!

We went back today to get Dim Sum. Wow, what a difference. Everything was delicious! The servers were very friendly and there were plenty of carts going around. Food was fresh and tasted great. So happy our favorite dim sum place is back to being awesome. read more

Today I wanted to have dim sum since I haven't ate dim sum for awhile, was in Az for a short time, came to Great Wall around 10:30 it wasn't that busy but after an hr later it started to get busy. Food was good. Service was good as well. People was pushing cart where they had the food and you can pick out what you want on the cart. Place was big kinda like if you have a banquet and you can have a wedding there. Got really crowded after 12:00 had people waiting to get in. Its alittle noisy because it gets really busy. So I recommend you go before 11 otherwise it gets really busy. Its a good place to go for dim sum. Highly recommended read more

This is the classic place for dim sum, and many a banquet and event here. Highly recommended.

Located in an unassuming strip mall next to GCU, Great Wall doesn't look like much from the exterior but inside is styled as typical Chinese banquet hall. This isn't Ding Tai Fung but delivers overall good dimsum. Stopped by for Tuesday lunch at 1pm during family trip. Restaurant is maybe 1/3 full. Only two rolling carts. One for the hot steamed meats and another for baked goods. Most items are small $4.25 with a few medium $4.75. Spent $71 for 9 dimsum dishes + Chinese broccoli ($15, pricey item, menu didn't state price) +tea for 3 + tax + tip. Heads up: Tip is already auto-added to bill. - Shrimp dumpling: on smaller side, get what you pay for - Shui Mai: good, we ordered 2 more orders. - Beef ball: tasted weird, do not recommend. Meat was still pink inside. Asked waitress who said it was fully cooked and color due to the marinade. Not convinced. -Chicken feet: good, more savory less sugary than some places. -Baby pork ribs with black bean: meat still bit tough. -Taro puff ball: good, had shrimp inside -Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce: tasted fresh and had tender stalks. -Sesame ball: didn't order on first pass so it ran out. Had to wait 15 min and kept asking waitress for it. When we were done eating, we finally got it - at least fresh and hot, good amount of red bean filling. Nice end to meal. read more

Decent dim sum selection. Comes around in the little carts! Has all the classics that I love: pai guat (pork spare ribs), shui mai, har gow (shrimp dumplings), ha cheong (shrimp rice rolls), fun gor (a chewy clear dumpling), pi dan shou rou zhou (congee w preserved egg & pork). However, I wish there was a wider selection of desserts (they have lots of buns (pineapple, cha shao) & the sesame balls, but I didn't see any coconut jelly or sesame rolls which are some of the more classic ones I've seen in NYC). Other tips/suggestions: turnip cake was also a bit bland on its own - might taste better with oyster sauce. Place was pretty packed on sunday afternoon, but since I came alone, I got a seat immediately. You can also order dim sum to go. read more

We've been here multiple times - our favorite dim sum restaurant in the area! The most recent time being on New Year's Eve. It was a really busy service, but they were able to move the line of customers outside pretty quickly. We got in within like 2025 minutes, even though we were about 30 parties behind the front. Once inside the food wasn't the fastest - however, this was a really busy service. They had the food carts as usual, so once the free cards came out, you have your food immediately. It was pretty well priced. The four dishes pictured cost 25.36 Overall, Food is great! - Their shumai is on Fleek, juicy, soft, well cooked. We always had it with the spicy mustard. - The curd was really good. Outside was flaky, and a soft inside, goes really well with soy sauce or their spicy sayce - We have had their Cheung fun (like banh cuon with shrimp in it LOL) on previous visits - this is another staple for us. It was really good, soft, rice, paper, shrimp was soft and well cooked and their sauce. A classic dim sum staple! . read more

Great spot for Chinese family dinners, as well as dim sum on weekends. Reliably good food, lots more off menu if you know what to ask for / want your childhood favorites. The Peking duck is a giant serving, and comes with a ton of meat on the side (to take home for leftovers!). Veggies are always very fresh. They let you look at and pick your fish if you want! Service is always very attentive and fast. Food comes right away, and they refill your tea without you even noticing! (there's also a great Chinese grocery store in the same complex) read more

Wasn't a fan. Nothing too fancy. I came off a recommendation for the best dim sum... but apparently, the dim sum is only sold as a brunch option. The building is old and needs a remodel. The color scheme is all over and amn eyes sore. The restaurant seems unkempt. A lot of unbussed tables and really just no organization. We were one of maybe 6 tables at the times, so it wasn't like they were so busy they couldn't handle it. The pricing is fine and in line with most Asian food restaurants, but the food is average comparatively. I really want to try the dim sum, but for how long of a drive this place is from me and how... meh... my experience was, I won't go back. read more

Was truly looking forward to having Dim Sum with Joyce and Mike W. Unfortunately for us all, it turned out to be more "Dim" and the "Sum of all Fears" this visit. We excitedly waited 20 minutes outside the Great Wall restaurant in the AZ 105° heat to be called. No worries as the peak heat of the day was still hours away. #98! was called and we strolled in full mask ready. Within seconds a few Dim Sum carts appeared and we were on our way to heavenly bliss! Or so we believed. What you see in photos was all we were able to order. Our service was spotty, meager, and could not flag anyone down...lol. Miss Joyce left hungry and I was totally sad. She kept saying "I want a football!" (?) Delirium setting in? Not sure but as the absent food carts continued, so did our growling tummies. Condiments on the table were non-existent but for the Soy Sauce which seem to belong to Mike and Miss Joyce...and they weren't sharing. I found out about the available sauce days later. I would rate this a dark comedy not to be repeated soon. Hopefully the cause was the restaurant being overwhelmed by newcomers. Will try again at a much later date if only to update. As always, Thanks for reading and be well enjoying life safely. read more

We went there again on Sunday with our Canadian neighbor and here are some tips: 1. During the weekend, please go as early as 10am(open time) in order to avoid excessive wait time. Please see the picture I just uploaded--it's 10 am in the morning and there were 200 ppl already filled up the huge dining room! 2. When finish dining , bring the red piece of paper to the front receptionist to pay. 3. If you have kids like us, it's better to choose the big round table in the corner. This place could get really busy and crowded really quickly. 4. If you never have dim sum before, this place would be a little bit confusing. My suggestion is to bring your local friends who's familiar with Dim sum with you and ask questions. You would not expect detailed and thorough answers from the waiter/waitress. Please do not get upset, it is the way it is, and this is the way it should be. The dim sum here were so authentic, aw well as the Hong Kong weekend brunch culture --noisy, ambient and lively, love it and enjoy! read more

My family and I have been wanting to try this place for a few months, now, but our schedule hasn't allowed us to make the trip. Today, it finally happened, and we were severely disappointed. It was very busy, which was fine, and a 25 minute wait isn't bad at all. We had never been to Dim Sum before and were highly entertained watching the carts go by filled with different foods. Because of the table size and large groups, I thought these were whole orders being brought out but I was incorrect. We had our number called and the woman told us "Go sit at the very last table". So we proceeded, a little confused, towards the last table- which was being bussed. We waited, standing, for a moment while our table was being cleaned and then sat down. Immediately after sitting, a lady with one of the carts came over and motioned to the plates on the cart; I tried to let her know that it was our first time and we were unsure about the process. She walked away. I decided to go up to the front just to ask about the process and I was lead back and told that I could order from the menu, choose the Dim Sum plates, or do a combo of both. We mentioned that we specifically came for the Dim Sum and he said that we just point to the plates and they give them to us. It seemed easy enough. Wrong again. When the next cart came around, I was trying to ask what things were and neither me, nor the woman I was asking, could understand each other. So we grabbed a couple things off of that cart to try and everything had shrimp in it. Which is something that I and my daughter avoid, and I had checked and confirmed on the menu previously to make sure that there were plenty of options for us without it. We ended up with a small series of dumplings, a couple different types of rice, egg rolls that were only shrimp inside, some fried popcorn chicken, and cold pork belly. Nothing that we had wanted, from looking at the online menu, came around on any of the carts and the things that we got were not appetizing, to us. Unfortunately the inability to communicate made the experience very difficult and the items we chose were not enjoyable to the point that we just stopped trying and left. We had already received $115 dollars worth of food that nobody wanted or liked. We left still hungry, and deeply disappointed in the experience. If you know how to do Dim Sum, this may be workable for you. If you're going for the first time, avoid this place at all costs. read more

Excited for dim sum, we showed up a few minutes past 10am on a Saturday, and the establishment was already bustling. We were seated fairly quickly by our server, and before we knew it we were surrounded by carts. I only managed to take a picture of the first items we ordered, but I enjoyed most of them! Going forward, I'd probably skip the long rice noodle with soy sauce, and would double down on the shrimp dumplings. But the true star of the show was the lotus filled sesame balls - I was expecting them to be red bean but was delighted nonetheless! For about ~13 dishes, 2 soft drinks, and an 18% tip, my party ended up paying ~$90. Note for future patrons: if you'd like chilli oil, there are a few carts in the northeastern corner of the restaurant where you can find additional sauces, napkins, and utensils! read more

Pretty blown away, quite frankly with this beautiful gem full of amazing dim sum. So, the deets are as follows: 1. Expect a *wait* to be seated on the weekends - we had to wait 30 minutes. Tip: get there early when they open; if you have a long wait, check out Lam Asian market next door! 2. Parking is competitive - this is due to restaurant being so popular. 3. Don't expect luxurious ambiance in an upscale neighborhood - but, don't let this scare you off! 4. Study their menu in advance to get acquainted with their dim sum fare as well as entrees. 5. Like hot chili oil sauce? Help yourself to a small dish near the kitchen area. 6. Don't be afraid to try something you normally wouldn't try - odds are it's gonna become one of your new favorites! 7. All of the mainstream dim sum items are great- try the Fried Tofu, Seaweed salad, small Manila steamer clams. This place does it up right - try it for yourself!!! read more

Disregard the 3.5 stars rating. Get cho butt in here. Sit down, & just eat the OMG, everything is soooooo damn good here food! Was hoping for dim sum, but they only serve dim sum in the mornings. U'd think I would know this, but surprise! I didn't have a clue! Anyway, I wasn't disappointed for long at all. Maybe we just ordered all the right stuff, but nah, we usually ain't that lucky, so believe it, every dish (shrimp fried rice, Chinese broccoli, scallop with broccoli, & the famous suckling roasted pork) was made to perfection! So glad Great Wall is open and stills requires masking. Don't u go anywhere Great Wall, I'll be back in a flash! read more

Arguably the best dim sum place in AZ! With dim sum staples like har gow, shumai, chicken feet, gai lan, etc., this place simply slaps. If you go around lunch on Sunday, be prepared for a 20-30 minute wait and a slightly noisier restaurant experience. However if you go Saturday, the wait isn't too bad and vibe is a little more mellow. Once you get in and are seated, be ready to grab your favorite dim sum dishes as the carts go by fast and furiously. The service can honestly be spotty, e.g., having to get your own chili oil, specifically asking for more water, and/or grabbing containers to pack your leftovers, but hey, I call it the "Great Wall experience". read more

We arrived at Great Wall right when it opened around 10am and wow we were surprised at how busy it was at opening. It wasn't quite packed (maybe half full) but it was really nice to not be completely full especially seeing the other reviews commenting how loud and busy it gets. Since it wasn't too busy yet, all of the main carts came by us within a couple minutes so we were happily chowing down in no time! They had all our usual dim sum dishes. Our favorites were the shu mai, fu pi juan (bean curd wrap), and tofu with shrimp paste. I usually really love cheung fun, however it was a bit lacking in filling and the pork ribs were not as tender as I'm used to. I really did enjoy the food overall and am glad I went earlier in the day to make sure we didn't have to flag down carts. Services was great, tho we really didn't need much since it's dim sum. We got our hot tea promptly and they cleared empty dishes very quickly for us. We did have to get our own hot oil, but our table was very close to the sauce table. read more

Pros: hubby loved this place. Complimented me several times for finding. I found it on yelp! Shumai, fried shrimp paste, long noodles, sesame seed balls, and bao. Huge parking lot. Cons: this place is utter chaos! I forgot what it is like living in a big city. My husband really hasn't experienced anything like this. People waiting everywhere for a table. The guy running the hostess booth is rude, but efficient. Tables crammed together. Not very clean. I didn't like my deep fried tattoo root. Tasted old. And mushy. read more
