Well, I was craving Mu Shu pork and wasn't quite sure where to go. My memory kicked in and I remembered how good the Great Wall was. That was many years ago and we had not eaten there in years. Not sure about the negative reviews, but my wife and I decided to eat there. The service was excellent, and the Mu Shu was off the hook! It literally tasted the same as it did 20 years ago. Even the sauce was still delicious. The place was clean and well lit. We were hesitant to try again, but give them another chance. They truly delivered. read more

I really hate to rate this restaurant a 3 because once upon a time, it was a solid 5 for me. These days however it feels like it can be a huge hit or miss. I've been coming to Great Wall since before I was even a teenager. They've been around for decades, and I'm genuinely glad they survived the pandemic. It's also nice to still see some of the older staff around. They've always been very kind if not amazing. Back in the day, the restaurant used to serve chips and dip with jasmine tea at no charge, but those days are understandably gone. My husband and I usually like to order the egg flower soup, orange chicken, fried rice, and beef and broccoli dishes. The portions are still generous, and the prices are still great, which I appreciate. But sometimes the food itself comes out bland, or the soup tastes like it has been sitting around for a bit. We've never gotten sick from the food just to be clear, but the quality and flavor are not always as consistent as they used to be. We still love coming here because this restaurant has such a special place in our hearts, but it is sad to see how much it has changed. Even the interior feels outdated now, and the color and atmosphere seem like they've lost some of their old spark. Overall, Great Wall is still meaningful to me, and I'll probably continue coming back from time to time, but I do wish the food quality and atmosphere felt more like they used to. read more

I used to love going here with my family but these days I cringe when my inlaws want to eat there. The carpet is sticky and bathroom floor sticky. I honestly think no amount of shampooing could legitimately clean that carpet. And by their cleanliness standards I am honestly nervous when we order food. The food is always good but im careful to order meatless are easily identified if undercooked. I havent visited willingly in a very long time. read more

Clean and comfortable environment; the menu has a reasonable number of dishes on it and the food is of average quality. Our server was really friendly, but the other two servers in the restaurant were all business. The food took forever to arrive and the portion sizes were average. One of the dishes was not even as described but we didn't have time to send it back after waiting for so long. It needed soy sauce but we couldn't get anyone's attention to get some. On the plus side, the prices were very reasonable. On the minus side, every person working there was wearing those goofy COVID-era surgical masks and it just was off-putting. I don't think I'll go back. read more

The people are so nice here; and they have nice deals for lunch and dinner. My daughter loves their orange chicken because the breading is super light; you can actually taste the chicken; and you get a lot! read more

Seated fast. This is a long time visit for us. Many years we have come. Over the years it has declinded in the general area. The parking lot was dirty with lots of trash out front. Inside looks exactly the same as coming here as a kid. Major blast from the past. Egg drop soup and wonton soup are both amazing. The orange chicken has great flavor. Tastes like dark meat. Kung poa beef is good. Not spicy at all. The wontons,chips, egg rolls are my favorite!! Chowmein was ok. The star is the spicy mustard! Wow! Packs a punch! The service was fantastic. Everyone who took care of us today was so kind! read more

We love this restaurant. We go here at least once a month. If it's not with my friend, it's what my husband wants to go. Next time we get food I'll be sure to post pictures. I always forget as the food is so good. I eat it too quickly and then go oh shoot I forgot to take pictures. That's how good it is. I highly recommend the orange chicken or the dinner specials as you get a little of everything for a low price. I LOVE the paper chicken! So good. read more

First time going here a few days ago. Most likely will not be back. The food is mediocre in MY OPINION. The eggrolls tasted like they were old. There was something wrong with them. Either fried in old oil or the stuff inside them was old. Not sure. Left a bad taste in our mouths. The Mongolian beef tastes like beef in watered down ketchup. The Thai iced tea I ordered had a distinct Banana flavor and the place is just worn down. The carpet was sticky and nasty. The waitress was nice and helpful But that's about the best thing about this place to me. read more

The Orange chicken was beyond dry, very bland and flavorless. The food took too long for the food not to be fresh. The wonton soup has no veggies just broth and 3 pieces of wonton, I was told this was going to feed 4. The wonton was mushy. Waste of $70 NEVER COMING BACK!!!! read more

Great Wall Restaurant - Orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lancaster, California

First time trying this place out. Won't be the last. Food was hot and fresh, and reasonably priced. Portions are also good in that regard. Combos are great with the steam or fried rice and soup. Tried also the paper wrapped chicken it was SO yummy. Didn't snag a picture of it because it was so good. Great appetizer. Thumbs up from me!! Update: tried the mapo tofu as well as some fried rice. The mapo tofu was definitely a bit lackluster in terms of what I was expecting: a traditional and spicy dish. However it was more of a firmer tofu in a savory brown sauce. No veggies or anything. I did ask for it without the pork though. So I'll take that into account. It was still good, however just not what I expected. Milk tea is the BOMB. Great original flavor you'd expect. Fried rice could be a little more flavorful, though. added a few of my own touches to it to give it that boost. I know what to order for next time! read more

Me and a friend went there today and was so disappointed and the quality of their food. The wonton chips we got were cold and very stale taste like there are maybe it made yesterday and when I asked the server if we could get new ones, she said that that's all they had at the moment they don't make them fresh every day and then at the end of our meal we're putting our food in our containers, and there was a little black hair at the bottom of our plate when we talk to the manager all he said was sorry about that and we asked if we could get a refund and he told us no because we had finished the food which I understand but if we would've seen it earlier, we definitely wouldn't have eaten it so it was we're very disgusting and I would not recommend this restaurant anymore. They had wet towels in corners of the floor and it smelled really bad inside. read more

We came in for the first time and I'm sorry to say it will be our last. The waitress was passive aggressive. Maybe she's been there too long already. She has zero patience and the food oh no...everything is brown and gray...we didn't see the veggies and everything is covered in a brownish soup. We ordered the shrimp and they're battered in regular flour ...they were ok but the ones we've had at our favorite Chinese place are nice and crispy ...not these...the noodles look sad and very thin. The rice was also gray and sad ...we're disappointed we have to look for another Chinese restaurant to love read more

Great Wall Restaurant - The sad noodles ...it's all watery underneath - Chinese Near Me - Lancaster, California

The food is very greasy and tasteless. Poor quality of food as well. Service was good though.

We ordered vegetables shrimp dinner with hot and sour soup and War Wonton soup. Service are great and the food was delicious, Highly recommended. The restaurant was clean parking was good. Ambiance for a family gathering was good. read more

Service was really good. The food was okay. The reason I said okay was it contained MSG. MSG gave us whomping headaches. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and cute. read more

Everything was fantastic. I definitely recommend this place. The service was fast and honestly, it really didn't cost a lot.

So I really liked this place especially the 3 flavor sizzling rice soup, but over the weekend we also got noodles, beef broccoli and egg rolls and soup. Well Sunday I had really bad stomach pains, couldn't stop going to the restroom and ended up in the hospital with food poisoning for 4 days. I've only eaten take out from here, the restaurants atmosphere dosent seem appealing, that should've been a sign. Won't be going back for a while or at all sadly. read more

Great food great service ! Love the food and we have been going here for years . Always best egg rolls ever!

We've been coming here for over 20 years. We usually order over the phone. We never have issues with our orders. However, there have been changes over the years. Food is still good portion sizes have shrunk. I used to love their orange chicken until they started using left over slivers instead of chunks. read more

Food is always fresh and delicious. The prices are extremely fair and the staff is always friendly. We've done both dine in and takeout and have never need disappointed. read more

Please Please avoid this nasty place, the menus are nasty with smudges and god only knows what else. The soy sauce and hot sauce containers look like a lab experiment gone wrong. The other annoying thing is that the prices are high and the portions seem to shrink..... some of what they serve is almost difficult to understand what it is. The most disgusting thing yet is that miserable STINKING carpet! Hey and guess what if you wear slip on or loafers, my shoe stuck to the carpet.....how this place manages to stay open due to all of the above is to the credit of poor inspections. John J.

What happened here? i have been going here for over 30 years. When the old owners sold out the new owners took a while to get things going but I again enjoyed going there again. But now? Yuck!!!! The food was inedible. The Kung Pao was crunchy, not spicy, and didn't taste anything like Kung Pao. We talked to the waitress about it and that the two of us who ordered it couldn't eat it. It was really that bad. It used to be the best! The waitress said that's how we make it so don't ever order it again. The place could use a good cleaning. the carpets look dirty as did the women's bathroom. read more

Despite the face, the food was very good, inside this photo my lovely girlfriend and I got the Orange Chicken and fried rice combination plate, it comes with soup, an egg roll, paper wrapped chicken, fried wontons and the orange chicken with fried rice. For the drink we got HOTTTTT black jasmine tea, it was the bomb dot com I would definitely recommend it. The wonton soup was so good we loved it. The egg roll was as good as usual with its unique flavor and texture, the paper wrapped chicken was very soft, tender and the right amount of chewy. The fried wontons were nice and crunchy and tasted amazing with the red sweet and sour sauce. The orange chicken and fried rice was delicious as usual, the chicken was soft with a nice big portion, the fried rice did taste like rice, I liked it but not as much as the chicken of course. The service there was great, the waiters were very kind and the wait time was fast, very good dining experience along with service. Loved it, would go again. read more

Great Wall Restaurant - Kun Pao Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lancaster, California

Been coming here for over 25 years, the value and quality in awesome! My favorite is the Kung Pao lunch special! Service has always been top notch and I suspect the negative reviews are from those trying to extort a free meal out of this place. Sad! Love the decor, just like the other Chinese restaurants you find in DTLA. This place won't disappoint your wallet or taste buds! read more

The food was extremely tasty and fresh. The servers were friendly and attentive. I would definitely enjoy another meal here!

Beware. Horrible. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. We ordered take out and was told it would be ready in 10minutes, that should have been my first red flag because when I called to complain, they said food was made to order. I took my first bite and spit it out immediately, everything was hard and stale as if it were sitting under heat lamps for hours. The fried rice was just brown rice, no veggies, no meat, not even egg. There was some weird meat wrapped in foil that we didn't even order. The Mongolian beef had a weird pink color to it, the chow mein was not fresh and tasted awful, and lastly, the orange chicken was hard and seemed like it was cooked two days ago. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE save your money, do not eat here. When I called they offered to do nothing and were completely fine with me leaving a bad review. read more

I haven't sat down at the Great Wall for almost a year now. The quality of food for the "lunch menu" is not as good as it has been in the past. The soup is always on point, however the orange chicken is different and there seemed to be half of beef and broccoli Vs the chicken and pork that was ordered. Which you can see in our photo. We did not eat any of the meat plate before picture was taken. In addition, the "wonton chips" are no longer automatic and free, and now cost $3 if you'd like some. My sever , who did not give her name, said they have been charging for "chips" for more than three years. I have been eating at this establishment since 2014 whether by myself, as a family, or for my graduation party. Never one time in this last 9 years was I charged for "chips" until my most recent trip. For the first time since coming to Great Wall, "chips" was written on the charge ticket, I'm not sure where the inconsistency is here but it was confusing. As always, it was clean and comfortable. The confusion of what was always free now being a charge and also having a smaller portion for one of our lunches was disappointing. I have given this place a 5* review in the past, however would like to update my review and share my experience from this week. I would like to come back again for the dinner menu as a Mother's Day gift. I'll be adding a new review then. This place has been here for decades, and for some reason, the food and some of the servers have been slacking over the last two years. Even during the mandated "stay at home", the food was great, and a bag of "chips" came for free. Idk if it was a new server, if there's a new cook, or what's going on, but as of June 2021, the food and service has declined. read more

Service was good, place pretty empty, clean an AC on blast so that's a plus. We ordered veggie fried rice, wor won ton soup, orange chicken, some noodle dish that was under recommended and a shredded pork dish maybe we ordered the wrong things but nothing was great, orange chicken was in house made but chicken was cut so drastically different like tiny pieces or huge ones, soup no flavor the noodle dish was gross the noodles said pan fried but it was like uncooked spongy yellow noodles I will try other items see if that makes it better read more

Food was gross and based off the managers reply to all the other people he knows and doesn't care . so just in case he replies to me -. No I don't want to get a free meal . yes I will be going elsewhere and yes I did read what I ordered . ... there are great free YouTube videos on how to have great costumer service and not be so paranoid that people are trying to scam you for your nasty food and actually handle legitimately complaints . read more

Do not go to this Chinese restaurant the food sucks and the Owner/Manager is REALLY Rude. I will never go back there, ever, even if it is for free. The Rice was hard, way to much sauce in the shrimp dish, and you pay to much for the amount that they serve. The Owner/Manager did not want to do anything for us and said to bad you have to pay. Long story short he came after us after we paid and told Nate & I "never come back and you guys were trying to get a free meal". I reminded him that we were willing to pay half of the meal but he keep on with his rudness. Anyway Do Not Go there Part II Responding: How can a customer be the worst when You the Owner/ Manager kept coming outside saying rude things to us. You "didn't" even want to replace a meal that was not editable! To end it all viewers, I really should had walked out and not paid (for the Bad food and and the Rudeness from the Owner/ Manager). Trust and believe Carma will catch up to him. He really had no shame. And he still goes on... People read and Discern what kind of person this Man is. I and anyone that comes across his path can Only Pray for his Soul read more
