They the only good food spot around here, it's either great wall or McDonalds and McDonalds is buns. Service is pretty decent, nothing special. Don't eat inside, the angry Chinese lady is always yelling and I ain't trying to hear all that. read more

This is a very unfortunate review that I'm going to write unfortunate because the Great Wall has exceptional Chinese food. I owned a Chinese restaurant with my ex-husband. I've been to China several times. I know good Chinese food. I went there tonight for dinner. I had the combination plate number two which is egg foo young with fried rice and an egg roll. I chose the mushroom option with white rice and egg drop soup with water to drink. The menu says $12.99. when I got my bill, it said $15. When I questioned the young man, he said I'll get my boss. She came out and was very angry that I questioned. She said because egg prices have gone up the price on the egg foo young has gone up. I said there isn't a change on the menu. Yeah yeah I know she said egg prices have gone up. I said I understand but there's no sticker or change on the menu. Yeah but eggs are expensive now. I said yes. I understand that but there's no sticker and there is no sign anywhere that says egg. Foo young is now $2.01 more than the posted price. She said okay. I fix it. Rang up my bill and said $17.99. I said no. The meal is $12.99 and I had water so it should be in the $13 range. She said no egg prices have gone up. I said I understand that but there are no signs in the restaurant and there is no change or not on the menu. That said options with eggs will be more. The other thing that I noticed was that they put a tip on the bill. There is also no sign saying that a tip will automatically be added to the bill. She then said this is Hillsdale. I'll do whatever the f*** I want to do. I went outside and as I'm going out, two young girls were going in to place an order that their mom had ordered online, I told the young girls and their mom who had opened the car door, that they should watch how much they're charged because they're charging prices that are not on the menu and they are also adding a gratuity to the bill without acknowledgment of that. The owner then came outside yelling how I was f****** crazy that I'm a f****** crazy woman. I said no ma'am I went by the menu prices she said come in. I'll tell you how f****** crazy you are. I said no come on outside. You can talk to me out here. read more

This is a vegan review. THE GOOD: They have a vegetable menu, thank goodness. I ordered a vegetable with garlic sauce dish with tofu added. They say they don't use MSG in their dishes. Taste was good, portions was good. THE BAD: Price was a little high. For adding bean curd or tofu to a vegetable dish they charge extra $3! Also when I called in for order, the lady told me to hurry up because she has more customers to attend to, I said, "I'm your customer too!" I guess she was busy that day because she had her kids helping her with the register. On another day I came to dine in and her two cute little daughters came in from school and she started yelling at them both in the restaurant and in the kitchen. I would never forget the expressions on the poor little girls as they were getting a tongue lashing and I felt so bad for them, not to mention how awkward it was. WHAT'S UNIQUE: This is probably the only Asian restaurant in Hillsdale. Couldn't find any other Asian themed restaurant around here. read more

Food was good. Very fresh. Bathroom was awful. Fast service plus food was good and hot. A bit high in price but worth it. We've eaten there twice. I had the Mongolian beef which I thought would be with just onions and it actually should of been called beef with veggies but still very good read more

The food was good, but the service wasn't very good she started swearing at, and trama dumping on all the customers.

We've been here a few times before and while the food has never been exceptional, it's at least always been edible. This time it was not. I got the curry chicken and my husband got the seafood soup. Both were inedible. The curry chicken tasted so offputting and very metallic for some reason. The seafood soup had an obvious frozen food taste and was swimming in a clear broth that made you wonder how long before you started vomiting. The service has always been rushed which has normally been fine, but combined with everything made it an experience I won't be going back to. On the other hand, I did feel like the atmosphere was better and cleaner. read more

Very surprised to find such a great Chinese restaurant in Hillsdale. It was recommended to us by the receptionist at the college hotel. Food turned out to be so good. I ordered Mushroom chicken and my son ordered lemon chicken. Both were big portion. The service was attentive. Thanks! read more

Great Wall Restaurant - Mushroom chicken - Chinese Near Me - Hillsdale, Michigan

Waitress was very friendly. Food was very good. Very generous portions. Fried rice side was one of the best that we have had in quite a while. Highly recommend this place. read more

Place went downhill. Food no longer tasty. Won't be back. Such a shame as it used to be so good! Hillsdale needs a good Chinese restaurant! read more

This place had fast services, reasonable prices, and quality food. It ain't no Chicago-tier chinese restaurant, but I'd say it's at least as good as a Panda Express. I had the orange chicken, the beef Lo Mein, and the mei fun noodles. Pretty big portions if you get the dinner meal--the lunch combo is still pretty solid portions. read more

Just had lunch at the Great Wall and loved it . So fresh and flavorful. From the crab ragoons ,egg rolls ,egg drop soup and hot and sour soup, to the sesame and human chicken. We enjoyed the every bite. If you like Chinese food, this is a great place to eat. read more

The person running the cash register was very rude. That was my first day time in there; she could just have been having a rough day. The food was just okay. read more

I was in your establishment today when you went off on a customer who told you her food was bad. Instead of offering the refund she requested you decided to argue with her. You did remake her food then demanded she check it in front of you. You then followed her out the door and called her a b (itch) and told her to f (uck) off. I definitely won't be visiting here again. read more

This place has never been my favorite but now it's worse since it changed hands . I grew up with the chefs at Yen king in Jackson in the 80s and 90s and Theirs's isn't the same it used to be either but I get the flavors I ordered and fresh vegetables just much smaller portions than back in the day and no longer unlimited rice . I only go to Great wall here in Hillsdale because it's close to home and some stuff is so so. , It's cheap takeout , you get a lot for your money .The soups and egg rolls are good ..(I've spent a lot of time in So- Cal. and have eaten a lot of Excellent Chinese food .Not Americanized .)and they do it cheaply with Fresh Large portions and large cuts of Vegetables and lots of fresh flavor just on a a take out menu) . Garlic seems sparse at the great wall and there seems to be the same bottled sauce used for nearly everything . I have to ask for General Tso's to be hot ? The point in General Tso's Is to be Hot ! It's changed from Fresh to frozen vegetables . The kind with the Crinkle cut carrots ,There's a significantly lower amount of Chinese vegetables used .and if you order add ins to your veggies They're sparsely added ,It's obvious the budget matters more than the Quality of the product and experience .One dish isn't a big difference from another .Unless you order something that's meant to me served as a single item . If you order a dish with a certain sauce to flavor it it tastes all the same but occasionally a slight difference . I've ordered several dishes from here and the sauces used are to much alike to matter .The sweet and sour tastes cheap ,To a Local it will be Gourmet because they eat a lot of Diner food and this place is the only Chinese food they've ever known Everyone whos grown up here loves it if they like Chinese food at all . Sometimes the Meat is slightly spoiled tasting with an off flavor like its sat in the refrigerator to long but isn't going to kill you . The iced tea is often spoiled and the soda machines need cleaned so I might get moldy soda , The machines should be cleaned weekly and must not be . Sometimes its fine ,Its an adventure when I come here. I've known people who never notice a moldy soda machine so if your one of those you wont mind . The staff can be quite rude depending on the day and if they get your order wrong or you want to change anything ,it comes with an attitude .I have food allergies and have to ask for things removed and it seems to be difficult to change things out .I'm very nice about it ,One waitress takes the order (one doesn't speak English the best but she does try) . The cook comes out annoyed . It's just a basic dining room set up and its fairly clean .So you wont feel like you visited china for the afternoon for sure. The bathrooms need a redo and they need paper towel instead of a nasty handblower that were called out in recent news for blowing feces and germs all over your hands when you use them (This is a blunder by many in our area) . .They're also dingy looking although I'm sure they clean them often, I keep coming back somedays are better then others and I keep hoping it will improve .. Those days when I crave Chinese and I cant get anyplace else I occasionally cave and try my luck .Someday's its ok ,Somedays its just why do I keep doing this to myself.. read more

Food was fabulous.Dining room manager-I assume that's what she was-was nasty,yelling at people-and customers..just glad I was only picking up take out.Imagine dining in.. read more

We love this restaurant. There food is as good as any restaurant in New York. The meat is succulent and the vegetables are super fresh and cooked with a touch of crispness! And the price is reasonable! read more

Let me preface my review by confessing a few truths. #1. This is Hillsdale Michigan, not Guangzhou. #2. Yes the food is not terribly authentic compared to my many experiences in China. BUT...they make Chinese food for the good citizens of Hillsdale who like what they like. I have been all over China in the last ten years on business trips. I have had some meals that were epic...and lots that were just o.k. The nice woman who waited on us was more then willing to let me tell her EXACTLY how I wanted her to make my various dishes. No MSG...Kung Pao Chicken with just four ingredients.... and on and on and on. Food arrives and it was precisely prepared as I asked for it. Was it as good as the food in the little village where I had an apartment for 5 years? Of course not. Was it pretty good chow considering it is in Hillsdale Michigan? Yes, yes it is. Service is slow....but the food they bring out is freshly made and if you tell them exactly how you want it...you will be happy with the result. Ask them how they prepare their Mongolian Beef. Don't like green bell peppers? Tell them to not put them in there. Want fried rice but do not want egg? Tell them and you will have your wish fulfilled. Making Chinese food is pretty simple. You have a hot Wok...and you toss in stuff as you go. Find out in advance what they plan on tossing in...and take out what you don't want...and VOILA' ....the perfect plate of food prepared just like you would make if you knew how. read more

Nice little place if you want fancy go somewhere else Food was hot and waitress was happy and checked on ya Been looking for lemon chicken found alot but they were ball fried chicken guess easy for them Here found slab of chicken done good Will be back worth the 35 mile drive people complain about slow But that told me their cooking it read more

No need to elaborate...NASTY sums it up in every way! . . . . . . . There is. I thing else needed to be said. This place is just the absolute worst in the world! From 20 years ago, to finally trying it again. I'm not sure how you make awful worse, but somehow they figured out to accomplish that. Avoid!!! read more

Maybe I am not as much of a Chinese Connoisseur as my fellow reviewers, but I think this place has rather tasty Chinese food. The egg rolls are good, and the crab rangoons are amazing, quite possibly my favorite item in the restaurant. Also delicious, at least in my opinion, is the shrimp fried rice and the pepper steak. I do not feel that the shrimp fried rice tastes like cigarettes, unless cigarettes have recently acquired a shrimpy, soy-saucey, scalliony taste. Some dishes are a bit salty, but I feel that this is a problem shared by many Chinese restaurants. Also, the restaurant does look a bit run-down, but hey, you came here to eat, not to look at a contemporary display of interior design. Overall, it is a fairly good Chinese restaurant and I would recommend it to most. read more

I am amazed the bathrooms were so clean; I imagine they get used pretty heavily due to the poor quality of the food served. Only the most devout masochist would be able to derive enjoyment from this place. read more

We reliably get great service and good food from Great Wall since we tried them out in 2017. They have quick turnaround take-out and fair prices. Their orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and Mongolian beef are our favorites, although I haven't tried their whole menu. General Tsao is also good. We enjoy their pork fried rice, too. For a little town an hour from any decent sized city, consistency and plenty of hours can be a lot to ask for, so please remember the context when you're rating little, family-owned businesses in a town of 8,000 people. read more

Recently we made our first trip to this resturaunt and the first time we had an amazing dinner, everything tasted fresh and vibrant and the customer service was great but very very slow. Here's the review of the first night ordering a menu based dinner, the second will be of the buffet. - Food was awesome, fresh and tasty. - The Hot and Sour soup isn't the traditional soup with tofu and what not, it's some sort of house specialty. Once you get used to it, it's AWESOME, if there was a reason to return to this place, that soup would be it. - Wait staff were slow, understaffed on the day we went. - Waitress was rude to other tables (not ours) but it was noticed. - The South entrance and dining area of this establishment is run down, it was the first thing we noticed and really made us nervous about their commitment to at least making the food worth the trip. The office is in tatters, the walls are cracking, stained and there was water damage right above our table. Second Trip: The Buffet The waitress we had a few nights before ranted and raved about the buffet, said it didn't offer as much as the only other Chinese buffet in town, but that the food was exceptional. Here's what we noticed: - Food was old, obviously having been cooked at the start of the buffet hours and left there to dry out on the buffet for at least an hour and a half before we walked in. - The buffet wasn't being maintained, no new food was being replenished in the hour that we sat there dining. - Waitstaff was again, extremely slow, I almost wonder why they haven't either given each table a pitcher of soda or a fountain drink to access.. I could have literally gone down to the gas station 2 or 3 blocks away twice before getting a refill on a soda. - Soda glasses were small, in two or three deep draws of the straw we drained our glasses. Thus needing a refil 3 or 4 times before we gave up and settled on stopping at a gas station on the way home for some real drinks. - The selection was worse than I could have imagined, I expected at minimum some baked fish, a shrimp dish, maybe even oysters. Seafood salad, with a mix of shrimp, crab and squid would have been nice. It hardly was a buffet, it was more like some small company potluck with a few mystery dishes that had been picked over for hours. All in all, I wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this establishment unless you are going for the menu items instead of the buffet. I know my family won't be returning to this establishment except for maybe the occasional Hot and Sour soup carry out. I'd recommend the other Chinese place for proper buffet experience. (the one near Walmart, keep in mind they aren't open on Mondays any longer.) read more

I would recommend completely replacing your recipes. The egg rolls are ok but I have a feeling they are just bought frozen. I think the business is declining as a result of the poor food quality. One example I want to share to reflect what I'm talking about. I have ordered both Cashew Chicken and Szechuan Chicken. The sauce/gravy tasted identical. Both way over salted and the only difference I could find is the the Cashew Chicken had a couple cashews in it. The Szechuan Chicken didn't have a single pepper in it and is advertised as "Spicy". This is not the case. Nothing in the dish is spicy or even resembles "spice". It honestly tastes like soy sauce, white pepper, and corn starch. Having visited this restaurant several years ago and being extremely pleased with the food it is a shame that the food quality has declined to this extent. If the owner is reading this. Please just rethink your recipes. All people want is good food. You could have the shabbiest hole in the wall and no one would care as long as the food is good. read more

The food was terrible. Ordered Sweet and sour chicken and it was hard and over cooked. The fried rice was, white rice with a splash of soy. The egg roll was dry and tasteless. This has been my second attempt to give them the benefit and both times failed!! Won't be going back!! read more

After hearing Great Wall had changed from friends I gave it another try. The service was even quicker, my food was still hot when I got there late, and it tasted good. read more

Great Wall Restaurant - a meal in a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Hillsdale, Michigan

The Great Wall Restaurant might not be the prettiest institution in all of Hillsdale but it is indeed an institution. The food is the perfect remedy for any serious food fanatic. The service is absolutely fantastic! If God were to take a trip to Hillsdale Michigan I would recommend the Great Wall! Best Chinese food in America! Best Chinese food in the world (except China). read more

Don't believe everything you read online people seriously, I moved from Chicago 30 years ago to small backwards hillsdale county learned a lot and moved to Coldwater lol and still come to this restaurant for the best service and quality food for the dollar!!! read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by the food here. It was very fresh and very good. Prices are extremely reasonable and the server was very efficient. We started with egg rolls (excellent), then ordered three entrees; they came with soup (we had the won-ton --very good), then Pork Lo Mein, Mongolian Beef , and Chicken with Garlic sauce. All good!!! read more

Great Wall is a great place for a small town like Hillsdale. Good prices, food that satisfies the craving for "American" Chinese food, and good service. My husband and I eat here probably once or twice a month and are never disappointed. read more

Wow... The best description possible is "EPIC FAIL". This place is AWFUL. Loud rattling exhaust fan right above the table. Fried Rice tasted like Cigarettes, seriously, like it was fried with cigarettes... Service was super slow, waitress said verbatim "I have such a bad memory, you think it would be better being a waitress" "I hope your food wasn't too terrible" Plastic string in one food item... Fortune Cookies brought out unwrapped on a credit card tray... Shrimp fried in oil that wasn't hot enough so it was like putting an oil ball in your mouth. BBQ Beef strips appetizers the consistency of beef jerky, and inedible So much salt ... Must drink water The worst dining experience of my life, hands down. read more

The Great Wall was recently taken over by new management, and I know that a year ago, no Hillsdale student would have dared to eat there out of fear of getting food poisoning, it has made a HUGE change. The food has much improved and is a really great place for takeout! It is as close to Chinese food as you will get in Hillsdale and fits a college student's budget! read more

Sadly over the years this place has fallen out of the greats. Used to be great every time we went now it's a hit or miss. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean and has a family environment. read more

The Great Wall Restaurant is the best Chinese Food iin southern Michigan. Large Portions. Good Quality Food. By Good Family. highly Recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

They need to work on their rice. Coming from San Diego chicken is not good. Great customer service though.

I took a chance today. What a surprise. At 6 pm there was only one other couple. Their food arrived steaming hot and fresh looking! More that enough food for 4. My order of Mongolian Beef. Usually it has onion and green pepper, not here. This came with broccoli, onion, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo, no green pepper and that was fine for me. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. The fried rice was better than most. The eggroll was hand made, fresh daily, and awesome! I will go there again. read more

Horrible selection of food. I've seen larger selections of Chinese food at gas stations. Nothing was fresh. The restaurant itself was dark and dingy. I will not be returning. read more

This place is under new management!!! I've lived in Hillsdale for four years and after trying the food twice a few years ago, I swore it off. It was disgusting. But that is not the case anymore!!!! My friend told me about the new management and how the food quality did a complete turn around and that is the truth. It is amazing. I'm so thrilled to finally have Chinese food in Hillsdale. read more

Not much to look at but you know that going in. We've done take out a few times. Rice and egg rolls come with the dinner, good compliment to the rest of the dinner but these are not meant to be stars. I'll say that at another restaurant I did have terrible rice. How they screwed up the staple fried rice is beyond me. At the great wall I was happy with their rice. I keep getting the Mongolian beef and love it. Good portion and price, My wife always gets almond chicken which for me is about as exciting as the Saturday night Lawrence Welk show but she loves and sometimes craves it. Give their carry out a try it was very good, and they deserved me sitting down and giving a good review. read more

I seriously question anyone's high opinion of this restaurant. 4 and 5 stars? What do these people normally eat? Dirt? It didn't start out bad, we all agreed the soup was good. The rest of the meal went down hill and fast. It took 1 hour and 40 mins to complete the meal though nobody really ate anything after the soup. Our appetizers were brought out cold after our soup was served. The fried shrimp was oily and rubbery, the BBQ meat so tough jerky would have been preferred in a sauce that was nothing like BBQ. The lo mien probably wouldn't have been bad if not for the overpowering effect of dumping an entire salt shaker in the mix. The tea was nothing more than colored water, hopefully the dark color was due to some sort of tea leaf. There was lipstick on a tea cup and plastic in someone's entree. What I would really like to know is how fried rice can taste exactly like cigarettes? In short if you need to eat Chinese in Hillsdale eat soup. If you are daring your friends to eat the most disgusting thing you can think of, get the fried rice. read more
