    Egg Flower Soup

    Fond memories of the Great Wall Chinese restaurant. I worked next door in the Pacific Bell business office as a Service Representative. I remember many business lunch meetings "brainstorming" strategies with my team manager Erin Miller. "Show Me The Money" was our team motto for the office. I appreciate the sales & marketing skills invested into our team building. I still recognize many of the staff including James. I enjoy being in the presence of awesome family and friends that serve the community with authenticity & well presented cuisines. I highly recommend Great Wall for your business meetings or the whole family outing for five star yummy goodness.

    Tried many Chinese restaurants as locals, best Chinese food in this area by far. Fresh ingredients and great flavor. Salt n pepper soft shell crab one of our favorite, green beans and chicken freshness of their ingredients are key success in their food preparation. Friendly staff with great service and owner James very attentive to their guests. I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant! Bon appetite

    Shrimp chowmein

    We went to try this place. The place reminds you of a Chinese restaurant from the 1970s. We tried the shrimp chow mein and potstickers. The potstickers were a little bit bland, and there was nothing remarkable about the food. Our waiter was a nice guy.

    I came here around 7 p.m. on a Sunday, and we were able to get seated quickly. We ordered the spring rolls, savory glazed tofu, and the chow mein, all of which were super yummy. The portion sizes were decent, and the prices were pretty good. I would definitely recommend this place for any vegetarians, as they had plenty of vegetarian options available!

    Shrimp and pork shumai (4)

    Even though it got a little mushy, my favorite dish was Singapore rice noodles because the beef had a mild heat/spice. Good use of five spice seasoning here. I ordered BBQ pork buns and chicken fried rice (underseasoned) for takeaway, but we went to a different restaurant by mistake. Kung pao beef, Mongolian beef, and shrimp shumai were ready in 20 minutes. This business was good with communication, calling back if the call was dropped and confirming that we were coming to get it before closing.

    Great service, delicious food, nice location We stopped here for a dinner. We are glad we tried them out. Absolute satisfied! We will be back.

    Chow fun- so good

    The staff was nice and kind. It was quiet when we went. There is plenty of parking. I have been to the great wall a few times and it has not disappoint. The portions are big. We got the chow fun and shrimp lo mein last time we went. All the dishes that I have tried so far are delicious.

    The most bland Chinese food I've ever tasted. No flavor at all. Just oil and vegetables. They don't give much meat either. Avoid.

This time, my partner and I got the Sichuan cold noodles, fish soup with pickles, and eggplant in garlic sauce. The noodles are a great texture, and the sauce super flavorful with a little sweetness and numbing spice. The fish in the soup is super tender, cooked to perfection. The soup has a little spice, but it's mild and balanced with the pickled veggies. The eggplant has so much flavor, sweet and umami. We also love ordering the Dandan noodles, cumin lamb, and shredded potato. These dishes are very similar to ones we ate while visiting the Sichuan province in China. They offer all of the familiar favorites as well like chow main, fried rice, and Mongolian beef (but I highly recommend trying some specials). The service is friendly and efficient. The food comes out quickly. You can also easily order for pickup on their website. The inside of the restaurant is cozy with plenty of seating. I will continue eating here whenever I'm craving Sichuan flavors (which is often).

Unfortunately, the chow mein was one of the worst I've had. It was mostly noodles with very little meat, and the meat that was included tasted old. I ended up throwing away at least half of it. Normally, I would have sent it back, but since it was a delivery order that wasn't practical. I had hoped to save some for leftovers, but the quality wasn't good enough to justify reheating. I also ordered two char siu baos, but after my experience with the rest of the meal, my expectations are pretty low. My biggest concern was the packaging. None of the food was sealed in any way. The chow mein container had popped open during transit and was handed to me already open. The other takeout container wasn't taped or sticker-sealed either, and the soup came in a plastic container with no seal at all. In my opinion, restaurants using delivery services should place tamper-evident stickers or tape on all containers. Food should not be arriving open or capable of popping open during delivery. The lack of sealing was concerning and did not inspire confidence. The soup was also only about half full, which made me wonder whether some had spilled during transit or if that was the intended portion size. Overall, the beef with broccoli was merely okay, the chow mein was very disappointing, and the packaging raised concerns. Based on this experience, I do not plan to order from or visit this restaurant again.

From the outside, it doesn't look like much, and inside it's tiny tiny. maybe 6 to 8 tables total. Honestly, it could use some updates or a bigger location, but don't let any of that fool you. The second you walk in, you get that old-school family restaurant feeling. The kind of place that's been around forever, where the same family is working every shift and knows half their customers by name. No room for a Togo box hidden storage, no trendy décor, just people focused on making great food and taking care of their customers. The owner was incredibly kind and even brought us a complimentary order of their veggie rolls to try. They were absolutely delicious and such a thoughtful touch that made us feel genuinely welcomed. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every single thing we ordered was packed with flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Not one dish disappointed. It's the kind of restaurant that reminds you why local family-owned spots are worth supporting. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it. If you're looking for some of the best food around in the Monterey area, this place is a 10/10 and well worth the visit. Don't judge this place by its location or appearance, the food speaks for itself.

The Panang Curry was also very enjoyable. The curry itself was creamy and full-bodied, and pairing it with rice really brought out the depth of flavor. I ordered it with chicken, which was good, but I do wish there had been a bit more of it. The Tom Kah Kai was incredibly rich and aromatic. The broth had a deep, comforting flavor, and the mushrooms were surprisingly the star, soaking up the soup and adding an extra layer of umami that made each bite better than the last. Service was fast and attentive, with the staff consistently checking in and keeping water filled, which I appreciated. The ambiance had a nice, authentic feel that really complemented the meal and made the whole experience more immersive.
