This is the most bland food I've ever had in my life I think. I'm usually pretty lenient with restaurants, but this is a bit absurd, it looks like it was all just over boiled and then packed up. You can see in the picture how plain the chicken is. Maybe the buffet is better, but this was definitely not the good Chinese take-out my fiancé and I were hoping for after driving all day. read more

Great Wall Restaurant - Chicken chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Prince George, British Columbia

I decided to give it a try, even though there are so many negative reviews. I went at 530 pm, there were lots of other people dining. The food was hot and delicious! I wasn't sure what would be good, so I grabbed a little of everything off of the Chinese carts. The deep fried foods were fresh, easy to chew unlike when they are old. Canadian and authentic Chinese dishes. I didn't try the Japanese nor western, too many Chinese choices! Desserts were good, and nice to see fresh fruit as an option. read more

This is by no means the best chinese buffet I've ever had? But you know what? I did enjoy myself. The waitress was super pleasant, kept my water full, kept clearing my plates. I tried almost everything from the buffet. I went back for seconds on the egg foo young, the chicken and shrimp things, the pork meguin(sp?), the (not) spicy meat balls, and a couple of the veggie dishes. This place is a solid 3 and a half stars, and I would eat here again. read more

Having lived and travelled all over the world, one thing you are guaranteed to find are Chinese restaurants. So I have tried many, from Van to Japan, yes they have them there as well. :) I can honestly say it is very hard to find fault with take out from Great Wall. The delivery guy was friendly and polite. I cannot comment on dine in experience, but will try it for sure. *Fast delivery *Hot when it arrived *REUSABLE containers *Almond chicken was in a vented cardboard box to keep from getting soggy. Awesome! *Value for the price *Different dishes actually had different tastes. Odd to point out, but if you have been to a crappy one, you know what I mean. *Rice portions good *All flavours excellent Highlights *Honey Garlic Pork was crazy good. The combination is like a super food. So much REAL honey left it was hard to get it separated when heating up leftovers. *Attention to detail makes one confident in the cooking too. If one gets a plastic bag with styrofoam containers, one can even question if this just got picked up at the mall. Great to see world equaling and beating most I have experienced. Traveller Tip If you are ever in Vienna Austria, never order Chinese food. Lived there for years absolutely terrible gave up trying after about 5 years never ordering from the same place twice. read more

Came in late from out of town. Most places were closed, even less places delivered. Ordered delivery to the hotel. Ordered a large friend rice, got 1 (one) soy sauce packet. It covered maybe 1/5th of the rice. Didn't bring me utensils either. read more

I am with in the 20 km for free delivery but they still want to charge me a $9 for delivery I think that is crap

I'm a tiger, if you're at all curious. I only mention that because of the Chinese zodiac placemats in front of me. These cheap paper placemats are usually shipped by the thousands as expendable items at the end of every meal. The Great Wall Restaurant protects them under tinted glass...to avoid having to dispose of them, I guess. This is not to mean Great Wall is cheap, at least not yet; it's the most Asian looking restaurant I've seen so far in my journeys (at least in Canada). Without turning my head, I spot at least two framed Asian paintings of generic junks and pagodas suspended from stain-resistant walls. I don't look forward to Chinese restaurants despite never really having a bad experience at one. There's just something so mind-taxingly uninspired about them. Trying to glean some culinary value out of a westernized Chinese restaurant is like trying to do the same out of an Arby's. And yet when weighing the options, I'd opt for ethnic over the alternative--shaved imitation meat drenched in processed cheese food. (On that, I have a rule that I never purchase any edible product that requires a statement on the box that it is in fact edible. If government mandate demands you put the word "food" on it, that should be a sign to avoid that product.) At least Chinese restaurants offer a buffet. Although I've stated that I avoid them as much as possible, I've made exceptions from time to time. Regardless, I despise the practice of them--forcing me to hobble astride other zombies looking past the sneeze-guard at tepid offerings that are either awash in monosodium glutamate or badly in need of some. The buffet is a dollar more than the single plate combinations and gives me the opportunity to trying everything on the menu. Most people don't do that--helping themselves to a single spoonful of every bowl. The reason why people elect the buffet is because they can't abide the limitation of a single mountain of cramp-inducing food. Frankly, I'm shocked that buffets even survive in this obesity-plagued world. I know of people--some claiming friendship--that would clean this entire run out and demand more. There was even a time where I would fall into this very category. Since my meteoric weight lost over 15 years ago, I've prided myself on being able to avoid situations like this. I went for seconds, yes, but only to sample the other bowls, not to repeat any of the previous offerings....because I assure you, none of them are worth repeating. Everything from the sweat and sour--I-I mean sweet and sour pork, chicken balls, and fried rice is lukewarm and borderline flavourless. Even the wonton soup can be summarized as a noodle wrapped unseasoned ball of grade F beef left simmering in un-refreshed water (thank my colon I'm only forty minutes into lunch service). Half the buffet is split between the Asian stalwarts and generic bowls of American porridge--potato salad, macaroni salad, bean salad, and other salads with no actual lettuce. After the second helping, I develop an unsettling knot in my both my stomach and my oesophagus. Nothing appeals to me and less than thirty minutes after sitting down, I'm apprehensive about returning for the complimentary Jell-O or brownie desert. I whether the storm and fight my way for third trip. Like scaling Everest, I imagine this buffet has killed more people. I doubt a single desert offering was made in-house, probably brought in from the local Costco. I know what vacuum-sealed s'mores look like. I elect for the cheesecake as that's something very few people (save me) can screw up. It also settles my stomach and placates my colon hopefully lone enough for my trip home. Thank Christ I'm not driving back from Quesnel. What annoys me about places like this is not their pedestrian practices or fast-food flat flavours; it's the fact that they're so successful. Going into local places like U&Me and Indian Lion, I get depressed at their vacant lunch services. Meanwhile, Great Walls bustles with the activity of an Emergency Room, implying multiple metaphors with that comparison--Great Wall is a place you should avoid unless forced against all other options to enter. And yet, there's considerable competition. I'm amazed such a place could get away with this level of mediocrity with Thanh Vu less than thirty feet away. Here we have two Asian restaurants in throwing distance to each other with a disparage of quality further apart than original and new trilogy Star Wars. Even that gives Great Wall too much credit. TNG versus Voyager? No. Deep Impact versus Armageddon? Getting closer. Original versus remade Psycho? Something more obvious. Classic versus New Coke? I really can't think of an appropriate comparison. This divide stands in a class by itself. I can't foresee a reason why anyone would stop here. Do yourself and your heart, pancreas, and other assorted good n' plenty a favour and keep driving for fifteen more seconds. read more

Can anyone tell me if the Great Wall PG has done any renovating in the past 20 years? Or even gave the place a good cleaning? The last time I was in there about 2 years ago, the food tasted great but the place was so filthy I refused to go back again until they clean the place up. You would think that with the amount of money they take in , they would at least keep the place clean. Nothing worse then eating in a dirty restaurant with 80's decor. read more

I haven't ordered from Great Wall in months, because there is no consistency in the dishes. It's different every time you order - a hit or miss, with more misses. Tonight I ordered two items from Great Wall - Combo #2 and Black Bean Pork. What I have thrown out, equaled to one container full out of the two containers I received. At almost forty dollars, incl tip - It was a complete disappointment. Heck, I made a better black bean pork the week before and it was my first time making it. There were all of ten pieces of pork (bone-in), the rest of the container was mostly black bean sauce and large chunks of veg that I was not expecting in the dish. The combo was just as terrible. The majority of chow mein was swimming in sweet & sour sauce from the chicken balls making it completely inedible. It doesn't cost much more to put the sauce in a separate container - it costs more, delivering a terrible dish. The veg was undercooked and whatever they coat it in (msg maybe? cornstarch maybe? - just made the vegetables gross. The spring rolls were both overcooked and soggy. I will not order from them again. read more

I'm in town for work and staying at The Four Points by Sheraton Prince George which is just down the street from this restaurant. After being frustrated that the hotel's restaurant is not open on Sundays (which is not posted anywhere), I found Great Wall online. I placed an order and was impressed with the online ordering system. I shouldn't haven given them credit this early in the process. After waiting over an hour for my order, I called the restaurant. The woman who answered said they didn't recieve my order. Frustrated and hungry I re-ordered with the lady on the phone. When I asked how long this would take she said 30 min. This timing is understandable for a call in order not for a person who ordered over an hour ago. The mere fact that there was no concern about my wait frustrated me even more. At least express some genuine care and say that you will rush it. Before hanging up the telephone I asked the woman if she knew why the online system was down. She said she would look into it and after a short wait on the telephone she came back to tell me that they did in fact recieve my order. I asked what the hold up was and she said they were waiting for the delivery guy to bring the credit card machine back. I work in hospitality and I understand that things happen, but communication is KEY. A simple call to inform me that the order would be running late would have been much appreciated. I explained this to the woman who didn't even extend an apology. Ultimately the order arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes later (30 minutes after calling Great Wall). While the food was okay and extremely hot, they didn't deliver a spoon for the soup nor any napkins. If I am ever in the area for work again I will stay away from Great Wall and I recomend that anyone else looking for convenience does too. My advice to them would be to invest in another credit card machine or take the cc with the online order. read more
