Went here yesterday and got instant noodles. Was going to get a small kimchi jar for $6.99. Upon check out kimchi rang up $8.99. I told The girl it's $6.99. She went to the area to look. I followed a few minutes later. She got a man to change the price tag on the shelf and I caught them RED HANDED changing the price to $8.99 NOT COOL!! I said to them..... wow is that how you guys do business here? I'm not buying that. TODAY I went across the street to H M and same kimchi was $6.99 and same noodles $2 cheaper. lol Everything is way overpriced. read more

I walked inside here on a whim and I never really realized how big this supermarket is. Quite a vast selection of products... I especially was impressed by their instant ramen selection and their seafood section. The size of some of their seafood was crazy. The prices here are actually pretty good. It's a shame it's located in such a busy plaza as that's the main deterrent from me shopping here. read more

Overall, this store was impressive. I really liked the organization and scope. Their were great snack options that I hadn't seen before and everything was easy to find. Walking around was also a lot of fun, as the store is very spacious and open. I loved seeing the different areas and options. There was a slight pricing snafu with some of the individually packaged sample items, but the employees resolved that. I ended the day with some interesting and tasty snacks! read more

I don't shop here often, but the store can sometimes have great prices on items you least expected. The service is pretty standard for an asian grocery store. The store is not as clean as some American ones, but it has a few great selection so can't be hardcore complaining. Be aware of certain items as it could be passed the best by date. read more

Underrated Asian grocery store. Very competitive prices. Lots of fresh Asian fruits and vegetables. Extensive seafood section with things like live eel, frogs and turtles. Definitely not for the uninitiated. They also have a large selection of unique Asian snacks and candies. Parking is tricky since it's in a busy shopping center shared with many other popular restaurants. read more

Located in Dun Huang plaza with the center of all hipster restaurants being located within one square mile. We came here to walk off dinner that we had in the plaza and it was actually a lot better than I remembered (empty and desolate ghost town inside the market previously). Not the greatest Chinese grocery store in Chinatown but you do avoid having to park again (it's a pain) at another plaza. Customer service is pretty meh and the meat and seafood options look sus. It's actually pretty clean inside but I attribute that to low foot traffic. Overall, it's alright. Nothing great but it'll have your staples without you having to re-park your car at another plaza and deal with Bellaire drivers with low IQ. read more

I'm willing to bet that a majority of the people who shop at Great Wall (#1) are here because they're also at Dun Huang Plaza (#2). They have a decent amount of inventory, but between the so-so prices, and poor customer service, I don't foresee Great Wall being destination grocery shopping compared to its import grocery counterparts. Location is the real winner here, as is the convenience of not having to bounce around the neighborhood. The produce is solid. They have a good array of fresh seafood, a number of common vegetables / fruits, and all the usual suspects for their imports. That second floor where they have specialty kitchenware items, such as their stools, chopstick collections, and cool dining sets are pretty awesome. During the Lunar New Year, they tend to go all out with the decorations and bring in a number of fun holiday themed specialty snacks for gifting. They also sell said decorations so that folks can take the festivities home. I think the prices are a little higher than most of the other supermarkets I tend to shop at and I can definitely note the less-than-enthusiastic workers here who aren't great at helping folks find what they need. My pro tip is having an image of the item you'd like on your phone ready for them to help them locate your item. Parking can be a challenge during the weekends but it's usually a lot more calm during the week. Calling ahead of time is a gamble, even for Chinese-speakers. __________ (#1) Myself included (#2) Oh, only the most intense plaza in this Chinese part of Bellaire Blvd: https://www.yelp.com/biz/dun-huang-plaza-%E6%95%A6%E7%85%8C%E5%BB%A3%E5%A0%B4-houston read more

Driving 50 mins to shop at this Asian/Chinese market is a waste. The cashier does NOT speak English, only Spanish, when you have a question about your purchase, you still get reply in Spanish. And when you complain about no English, the Mexican cashier will give you a very impolite response, very aggressively! Unbelievable RUDE service!!! Am I in Mexico or the U.S.? When you ask for a manager, they told you there is no manager, and they made it very clear that they don't care if you shop here or not. The market constantly smells stinky according to my husband. read more

Not to be confused with the nearby vineyard (Grape Wall) or Barbi's movie expertise (Gape Wall). It was never my favourite grocery store to be honest, but it's cool that it's right here in Dun Huang Plaza, because even though it's a little run-down and the shelves can be a little bare, and it doesn't have much on the fancier stores across the street, what it does have is some grocery store items when you need them in a pinch, and that's why we appreciate it so much. I added a star for it having so many unusual items and being so close to all the top boba shops. read more

Great Wall Supermarket - It's more of an average wall, but this cat is pretty great. - International Grocery Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love shopping at this supermarket but I do have mixed feelings. I normally go because they have a wide variety of spices but I have noticed birds in the market and when it just opened I did question the authenticity of some of the snacks. However, it seemed to improve and now there is a great variety! Language Used: English, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cantonese Snacks: 5 Great Wall has started carrying a lot of the popular desserts and snacks at lower prices ($2-3) compared to other supermarket. Ex. Boba popsicles and Japanese Kit Kat's. They also have a great variety of flavor! For example they have seaweed flavored lays chips and steak flavored Cheetos. Vegetables: 4 Besides snacks I normally go to Great Wall for the vegetables since there is a great variety and they are normally fresh! However, I normally don't get it green onions from here since it is a bit more expensive Fruit: 3-3.5 While the variety of fruit is greater then the supermarket across the road it's pretty average compared to most of the grocery stores in Chinatown. I normally do not buy fruits from here because they don't look as fresh as the ones from HEB. Service: 3.5-4 It's what you expect from Chinatown. One day you could have a nice Aunty or Sister. The next day you could have someone rude. read more

very rude bad customer service a lot of expired products I was surprised to barely see any body in the store

Tons of Asian food options, fresh seafood, live seafood, live frogs, live eel, redfish head, salmon head, snails, and more! They have plenty of imported drinks, dried foods, canned and jarred sauces, even the regular American meat cuts, ribs, etc. American beer, Japanese beer, etc. but I didn't see any Chinese beer. Plenty of wines to select from as well. It's a very large, spacious grocery store and they have plenty of fresh produce to choose from too. read more

I want to dedicate my 700th review to Great Wall Supermarket 大中華超級市場. I just can't contain the excitement of a well-organized Asian supermarket chain comes to Houston Chinatown. I have been waiting since last September to replace Dun Huang Supermarket. GW opened on 12/12/16. The company that owns Great Wall Supermarket established over a decade ago in NYC. Houston is the first store opened west of Mississippi River. If this doesn't excite you, come here and look for yourself. As a long-time Chinatown resident, I've never seen a turnaround business successfully changed the perspective of this huge supermarket footprint. They transformed every inch of this store into useful space. Who needs food vendors inside the supermarket? There are dozens of restaurants to grab a bite in the mall. They effectively placed produce department at the section where other operators used for concession stands. As you walk in, you'll see the fresh vegetables and fruits stare at you. It is the highlight of the Great Wall Supermarket. There are so many imported fruits and vegetables from China and Taiwan. They're priced reasonably. The section below household level is being used as traditional Chinese medicine 中药 and other canned goods. Dun Huang Supermarket used this area for vegetables before, which I didn't like. The seafood department is very clean (at least for now being new) and meat department has lots of great looking pork, beef and chicken (and other things in the buckets). I just wish the bilingual meat clerks speak an Asian language. **1st review of 2017** read more

Blows every other supermarket out of the water in terms of unique asian grocery items. I can't believe I haven't come here sooner. I rotate through all the asian supermarkets since each has its strong suit but this one on a whole is superior in terms of well roundedness. They have a huge range of snacks, some of which are carried at alot of other stores but not at the variety offered here, for example the Japanese kitkats (I've seen these at Hmart and Seiwa but GW had some flavors I haven't seen before) and "oreos", DARS chocolates, lots of Taiwanese snacks (packaged stinky tofu..amazing!), large size Irwin's fish skin snacks, durian flavored snacks, dried squid/ fish jerky brands, Japanese instant noodles, Korean snacks ( lots of sweet potato flavored items I couldn't find at Hmart as well lots of quirky instant noodles flavors) and of course, tons and tons of Chinese snacks. What is really cool is they even have small selection of snacks from Thailand (fish skin flavored Lays!). Both the seafood and produce section were super clean and they had great price on yamaimo, also found taiwanese melons here I haven't ever seen before. read more

While in Chinatown I stopped at this Asian supermarket. As soon as you walk in the smell of fish hits you and its very pungent. (it was a bit of a turn off) but you get used to it once you spend some time inside. They have the Produce to the left as you enter which is a very good spot. The vegetable were fresh and they carry a variety that you could only get if you to any place in Asia. I love durian so I was pleased to see that they carry it. I love Vietnamese coffee and I was able to find it here, it was $6.79 (but I looove viet coffee) so I had to get it. I usually go to the other place across the street to get my Cafe Du Monde but they had a great sale at $3.99 a can so I stocked up. This is a regular Asian store definetly would visit but they should work on the pungent fish smell. read more

After I finished my Asian tea, I needed milk. I was thinking about either Walmart or HEB, but I found Great Wall. I walked around, but I couldn't find milk. I still don't understand a supermarket without milk. I bought kimchi and aojiru-Japanese veggie drink. The prices were reasonable. It was relatively clean for an Asian supermarket. When I paid, one of the cashiers was chatting on her phone! This was not an Asian hardworking culture! 4 stars! read more

If you're looking for something different this is a unique place to shop for produce, asian cuisine or anything kitchen related..including dish ware, pots & pans and cooking utensils! Asian markets are abundant in the Houston Bellaire Chinatown area but I'd have to say this place is perhaps my favorite. I like the produce here. Fresh and well priced, sometimes I'll make the trek out here to shop especially for the chinese vegetables like gai lan, etc. You get the feeling that you are overseas. If you are a fan of chinese and asian cuisines you can find practically anything here and for a good price! I like the dish ware that you can get. Ceramic teapots, tea cups, bowls, etc. of a high quality for an amazing price! Most of it located upstairs, the selection is quite good in my opinion. I like to come here mainly for that. Spend an afternoon in Chinatown. Go to eat at Star Ice & Teriyaki, then wander over to Great Wall and stock up on your dishes, cookware etc. A nice way to spend the afternoon! read more

I didn't think I would write a review for a supermarket but I was surprised how clean and organized this one was. Everything was well stocked and the floors were spotless. First time I see an Asian supermarket with 2 stories too! They have almost everything you need as far as Asian groceries goes. The products look fresh and affordable. Parking can get tough here because the market is located towards the back, but there's a garage next to it. I guess the "Great Wall" is indeed as great as you think. read more

It's a pretty standard grocery store, but most of the time the vegetables are not fresh... Half the time I go here with a full list of items, I can only get some of them because the fruits or vegetables are rotten. It's a bit of a gamble because everything is cheaper than h mart, but you're more likely to get higher quality food at h mart. But it's definitely a huge step up from jusgo. read more

It's been a little over a month since we have been here and boy has it gone downhill. Everything just felt so rundown and poorly maintained. Some parts of the floor were wet and the glass divider in the meat and seafood department were not clean. I wouldn't want to buy meat when I can barely see through the glass. Ironically, even though the supermarket felt very rundown, the escalators were working for the first time since the first few weeks they opened. read more

This traditional Asian supermarket has a good collection of fresh produce, seafood/fish, meat and other Asian specialty food products. Their seafood counter has a full butcher service. Like many other Asian stores, the butchers here doesn't speak English well, and hence hard to communicate if you don't know their language. I have been here on weekends and weekdays alike, and have found that they always have fresh vegetables/fruits. I find their prices comparatively cheaper in the market, which makes this store more popular. The store is clean and well organized with enough (about 5-7) cash counters. It does have that traditional Asian store smell in the air though. They accept almost all credit/debits, if I am not wrong, above $5. There is a security guard at the entrance. As many reviewers have pointed, parking is tight here. There are several 30 min and 2 hours only parking closer to the store. I keep an eye on these spots and have so far always managed to find a spot close by. Its smaller than 99 Ranch but its an almost equally good option if you are in the area. read more

The entire place had an odor of fish immediately upon entering. The smell is so strong, it takes 10 minutes to get used to it (or maybe numb to it?). The prices low, but compared to similar outlets, the savings aren't Great Wall huge, though. For a practical foreigner, I relatively easily navigated store. No public bathrooms. Could be a fun place to toodle around while you wait for your noodles at Tiger Den across the parking lot, IF they get rid of that fishy smell. read more

Their produce came at a good price but the seafood was a bit pricy. There's a lot of competition between Jusgo, Welcome, Hmart, and now that Great Wall is open, it can be hard to decide which grocery to go to. Although, a really nice thing about this supermarket is that it's so close to a lot of good restaurants, cafes, and basically a lot of places since it's in the middle of dun huang plaza, so whenever you're just chillin at dun huang plaza at a tapioca shop or bakery and sudenly need to buy some groceries Great Wall is nearby. Oh also, check upstairs! read more

Refused to let me buy a single tiny bottle of sake on my 21st birthday. Gave my ID to the cashier, she showed it to another cashier, & then called over a manger. After going back & forth for a couple minutes the cashier handed me back my ID & told me "I can't sell this to you." I asked her "why not?" & she said "because today is your birthday, you're not 21 yet" (seriously, what??). I told her "I'm legally 21 years of age right now." & she blatantly told me "you can buy it somewhere else." & that's exactly what I did. read more
