    Kung Pao Shrimp w/Fried Rice

    This was my first time at Great Wall Express but it was a pleasant surprise. Counter people were attentive and polite. They have the items offered in their combo plates precooked and held in a steam table. Everything look pretty fresh. I ordered Kung Pao Shrimp and Fried Rice. As an add on I also ordered an egg roll. The egg roll wrapper was not one of those phyllo type wrap but more like a wonton wrapper. I much prefer the wonton wrappers because they are not as greasy and don't fall apart when you eat them. It took about 10 minutes from the time I ordered until I was leaving with my food. When I got home, I weighed the Kung Pao Shrimp and the Fried Rice on my digital kitchen scale. 2.77 pounds. The rice was possibly 20% of the weight, so that was a lot of Kung Pao Shrimp. I spooned out about half the Kung Pao Shrimp and maybe two tablespoons of rice. I zapped it in the microwave for 90 seconds. It wasn't "hot" but it was warm enough to be edible. The sauce was spicy but not really Kung Pao sauce. The veggies, zucchini, carrots and celery were not over cooked but cooked enough that they weren't raw. The shrimp were medium size and cooked on the minimum cooking time. They were barely done but did not have that raw texture that I have experienced elsewhere. I didn't count the shrimp but there were enough that I didn't forget I was eating Kung Pao Shrimp. The peanuts were fresh and added to the top of the dish, keeping them from getting soggy. The egg roll was served off of the steam table. It was warm but not crispy. The filling was reasonable. The next time I eat here I will ask for a fresh egg roll. I did not get my jar of crispy crushed red pepper out for this meal. The leftovers were enough for another full meal. The next day it reheated pretty well. The veggies and shrimp maintained their texture really well. There was enough sauce to ensure it was flavorful. The inside of this restaurant is stark but seemed pretty clean. I didn't see anything that alarmed me regarding sanitation. I grew up in food service so I have a sharp eye for failures to serve food properly. This place looked and smelled good. I recommend if you want to try fast Chinese food to give Great Wall a try. Online prices and menus are probably out of date.

    To Go lunch. Taste is good, prices don't match what's on the menu (guess not updated yet) overall it's good.

    I found that if you come early lunch, you get fresher food. Tasty today Service very good.

    Nothing wrong with customer service. The food was terrible. Big uneven chunks of meat. Rice was hard and crunchy. I absolutely do not recommend.

    Yum!

    Yum! Nice staff! 16 years and going! Good three entree combos! Drive thru too! Fresh made crab rangoons!

    Egg Roll (1) Beef with Broccoli

    We are from San Antonio and have yet to find any good Chinese that equals what we are used to. This place is absolutely delicious!!!! The employees are friendly and quick to help. The dining area is updated and clean. If you prefer they even have a drive through definitely recommend giving them a try!!!!! Update 4/11: if you go inside and the trays are empty there's a 60/40 that the food is being rushed back out to meet the rush and won't be quite as good as described above but still ok.

    Vegetarian lo mein & fried rice!

    If you're into Chinese takeout like the New York Style, this is the spot. Especially their egg rolls.

    Crispy chicken wings. Hot & sour soup was truly hot & sour. Mongolian beef extra spicy was the best we've ever had.

    Fantastic food. I love that the food comes out staggered and the portions are perfect for sharing…read moreand having a little bit of a lot of different options. We had pork dumplings, chicken dumplings (lace wing style, worth it), and chicken lettuce wraps.

We did get a table right away and a server showed us the card that had QR codes to see the menu. The link had an option to dine in or carry out. I started to order on my phone and the server said oh no, this is just the menu. I'll take your order. She then showed me a tablet that had the menu on it. So are you supposed to use the QR code or not? It was just disjointed and awkward. As my husband said, it's like they are trying too hard to be hip and cool. Anyway. On to the food. We shared an order of egg rolls and then I got wonton soup and some dumplings. Everything was hot and fresh and tasty. My husband got the fried rice which he said was very good. The menu has a lot of variety. It's a fun atmosphere with a fish and water theme. Service was attentive. Overall a good meal.

The first few times I was understanding and my new place can be kind of confusing to find the front door. In the notes section I give a lot of directions and notes to help the driver. They have never been followed. Today I placed an order asking for shrimp fried rice and I wanted it a little spicy. The only options online are x spicy, xx spicy, and xxx spicy. So I checked the box x spicy. I have order spicy lo mein, chicken fried rice, and shrimp fried rice plenty of times from this location and there was never an issue. On this occasion of course they didn't follow the directions I gave to my front door so I had to go meet the delivery driver. My order on this occasion was soooooo extremely spicy that I couldn't even eat it. I called to tell them about the order issue and whomever I spoke to was careless and had no solution for me. He said I should have put something in the notes about how much spice I wanted. That would be a great suggestion however anytime I have placed request in the notes it is always ignored. When I explained that to the person I was conversing with on the phone I was told there was nothing they would do. Not even an offer to remake the order. It sucks that this was a place I would suggest to people give how far they have fallen in quality and service. Such a disappointment.

The food ordered: pad Thai, tom kha chicken soup, yum soon sen salad, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, a side of fried rice, and jeow som sauce. I ordered off their restaurant app which does include service fees. My total was $64.22. As a whole, the food is really good, nice proportions, and steaming hot. I asked for no spice on the pad Thai and mild spice in the soup and noodle salad. But the pad Thai got all the spice. AND I MEAN SPICY! My daughter was sad at first but powered through and enjoyed it and cleared her sinuses while she was at it LOL. Simple mistake, and lesson learned to make sure everything I order in the future is at the no spice level. The crab Rangoons are thin, delicate and crispy- the filling was slightly sweet and delicious. Very good with the sweet and sour sauce that comes with it. The egg rolls weren't our favorite but they were still tasty. Just not so crispy as we would have liked. The soup was exactly what my cold needed! It cleared my nose instantly. The show stopper was the yum woon sen salad. My daughter and I fought over leftovers. It's the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and sour. A new favorite for sure! We will definitely be back to try other dishes and support this local gem!

But that wasnt the l kicker. I wanted to have a nice lunch and talk to my daughter. The waitress rushed us so that it bordered obscene! She interrupted us sooo many times and I'm not complaining that she was too efficient, she was annoying to the point of rude. I couldnt get in any good conversation as we couldnt even complete a thought! She was obviously wanting to turn the table quickly BUT A- they were not busy B-they had plenty of tables available C-they were not on a waiting list D- customers were only trickling in so she did NOT need our table, if she did I wouldve understood. People not only pick a restaurant for its food but also for the ambiance and comfortableness of it. I kept telling her we were fine, hoping she'd get the hint, she didnt. And unless you had experienced it, you probably are thinking it sounds like she was a good efficient waitress, but NO, it was so rude, and I'm sure she was trained to get customers in and rush them out as the manager lady kept coming over too as if we needed more interruptions! So by you rudely rushing us out may have got you a table quicker that you didnt even need but now youve lost a customer, so please make note of this, you were not on a waiting list, you did not need that table, so let your customer have an enjoyable experience and quit being interruptive and rude. Sure refill the tea, tale a plate, ask us if we are alright but then thats it, we were not there long, we ended up leaving and went to talk in the car. Thanks for a very bad experience, you only got two stars because I enjoyed my soup even though it was small, by the way egg drop soup costs pennies to make, you didnt need to make that smaller!
