Went to a friend's house and he had ordered food for a group from Great Wall for takeout! So just want to preface this by saying I don't know anything about the restaurant environment or pricing, just a review on the food. Very tasty American style Chinese food! I tried an assortment - lo mein, fried rice, sweet & sour chicken, general tso's chicken, and a beef & broccoli dish. I enjoyed everything except maybe the sweet & sour chicken wasn't for me (served breaded/dry, with bright sweet & sour sauce on the size to drizzle over - advantage is that it wasn't soggy!). Other dishes were very umami, oily but not greasy or too heavy. The general tso's chicken was nice and crispy on the outside, despite being sauced, and tender on the inside. Loved that the fried rice we got had shrimp and hong shao rou (not sure what this is in English, like braised pork?). Beef & broccoli very tasty and was glad to have a vegetable in the mix :). However, I will say that the sodium levels are pretty high. Make sure to drink plenty of water with this meal! I didn't and ended up waking up a few times through the night because I was so thirsty. read more

Great Wall - Chinese Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

I recently moved to the area, so I'm working on finding my go-to Chinese place. Great Wall was good, and I'll go back, but it's not good enough to be "the one". -The almond chicken was great, with a crispy coating. The gravy is brown, in case that's important to you. -The fried rice was not my style- too yellow (I like it brown), and it has carrots, peas, and onions in it which is not my preference. -If I return, I would pay extra to replace the rice with plain lo mein noodles. They aren't the best, but they're decent and I love that that's an option for a side. -They have egg drop soup with wontons in it! I will definitely return when I'm craving soup because that was a fantastic combo. As a bonus, the soup also came with a little bag of those little crispy strips to put in it. -I got really excited because someone left a review that said their egg rolls were the kind with sprouts, but that has clearly since changed because they were the cabbage kind, which I can't stand. They also did not come with any egg roll sauce to dip them in. -Thru also did not include plasticware, so if you want that make sure to ask for it! read more

Today I ordered shrimp lo mein and shrimp patties and I have to say this was the worst meal I have received from this place. So disappointed that their quality of food and cleanliness has went out the window. The food horrible and a black hair found in my food. I am no longer going to support these people. This is unacceptable. I had been going to this place for atleast 5-7 yrs. No more Great Wall. I hope I don' t get sick from this food. Garbage, food was not fit to eat.. my dog won't even eat it. read more

Great Wall - Shrimp Lo Mein with 4-5 shrimp in it. I also order, the shrimp patties with gravy. - Chinese Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Great for quick Chinese. All items are good. This is my go to place for Carry on my way back from work.

Outrageously expensive. General sows chicken and pepper, steak, and onion is $36 and some change. I know prices have gone up but.... jeez. I'll never order from here again. Anywhere else. The place on Ellsworth & us12 is $22 for the exact same order read more

Got takeout. The moo shu chicken was a bit on the salty side, with the pancakes square and thin (they msg have been factory produced). My companions were happy with their combo meals. These are packed with the rice, with fried rice as an option. The menu is strictly American-Chinese, so if that is what you like, this is the place for you. Pickup was a bit slow because there was a line around 6 pm Saturday night. It was $34 for 3 people. Warning: one of the fortune cookies was not exactly positive!!! read more

This place USED to be good. But the past half dozen orders I've placed, they've gotten them wrong. Example: I ordered an item off of the menu using the letter-number combination and item description exactly as it appeared on the menu. They gave me the wrong dish. And the messed up thing, they argue me every time I've asked them to correct the error saying it was my fault. I can understand this happening once; but, several times. I am never eating at Great Wall again. read more

Good food. However, they do not know what "no peas or carrots" means in English..............................

I am on my third day of liquid diarrhea from ordering food here. I got it home on Thursday and ate it that night and Friday night. Shortly after it began. I don't know what sort of demon they placed inside me through the chicken, but I'm considering calling for an exorcism so I can have my life back. read more

Have been going to the Great Wall in Canton for 20 years family owned, but it changed families quite a bit. Food is outstanding.

Ordered online, made it easy and fast. Very delicious food. Clean restaurant & friendly staff. Will be back again ! read more

Great Wall - Egg Roll, Sesame chicken, vegetable fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Ordered Chinese food go to get it. Walk in give them the phone number... she walks away calls someone on the phone and says "you have wrong bag" and hangs up. **insert side eye here**Old nasty mc nasty walks in holding the bag. Sets it down gets the new bag checks it and leaves. She proceeds to unpack the bag and looks at me and says "you take he just left" No No No I'm NOT PAYING FOR THAT YOU REMAKE OR I LEAVE!!! She walks away pissed and starts remaking my food. Comes with the new bag slaps the young guys arm that was working the counter and proceeds to ring me out. No sorry for your wait no let me discount this for your inconvenience nothing. This was my favorite spot but I WONT BE BACK!! Is it even legal to resale food after it leaves the establishment? And by the way they took it back after I left to resale it to someone else. read more

They took extra money from my account. If you order from here, I would be extra careful and make sure you are not being charged for things you did not purchase. read more

Husband went in and placed a carry out order. Orange 'flavored' beef, 4 egg rolls, and chicken and broccoli. He came home quickly, said the service was ok, and got food quickly. All the food was hot, and it was reasonably priced (under $24 for all of it) The chicken and broccoli seemed to be alot more broccoli than chicken, and for some reason the chicken and broccoli was in a box like the rice and the orange beef was in a covered tray (don't know why?) The were decent, nothing I'd really say was outstanding, but the eggrolls were gross. Husband tried one, said it tasted like paint. I chalked it up as them using cheap sweet and sour sauce. I used a different sauce on mine, and they were bad too. If we go back, that won't be ordered again. First chinese restaurant I found in the area (we just moved to the area from Novi, and used to the awesomeness of China Cafe) Hoping to find something better nearby. It's OK, but nothing I'd be 'in the mood for.' read more

Great Wall advertises itself as "New York Style Chinese Food," which I find kind of strange, since most Chinese restaurants classify themselves by the Chinese province (Hunan, Szehchuan, Cantonese, etc.) that influences their cooking. Anyway, this is a decent place for carryout. It's possible to dine in, but I wouldn't recommend it. The seating area is very plain and has a cafeteria-style feel to it. It's generally rather noisy in there from the sounds of the kitchen as well. I'm not crazy about their crab rangoon. At six pieces for just under $3 they're inexpensive compared to other local Chinese places. At Great Lake, for instance, you get much smaller crab rangoon for about twice the price. So the problem isn't price or portion size at Great Wall- it's quality. The filling is fine, but the wrappers they use are kind of tough and chewy. I prefer them to be on the lighter, crispier side. The crab rangoon are not awful, but they're not the best I've ever had. I've gotten takeout fairly often with friends, and they recommend the Chicken Szechuan style. Portions are generous. I often get the quart size serving and split it with a companion, and there's almost always more leftover for the next day. I almost always get the Bean Curd Szechuan style, because it's quite good, some of the best bean curd I've had in southeast Michigan. The dish is full of large, savory triangles of fried bean curd, and the sauce, while probably loaded with sodium and MSG, is tasty. Further, the vegetables are really nice in this dish. The carrots and broccoli are only lightly fried and are crisp and bright in color. It also usually comes with mushrooms, bell pepper, water chestnuts, baby corn, and bamboo shoots. read more

Great Wall - the entrance to a chinese restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

This is a local place that I have visited a few times. I would say that they do have good food in comparison to American Chinese food. The one thing I learned is to check your food order. I wondered why my bill was higher than a typical combo and i had a combo and extra pint of house special fried rice. I had ordered special fried rice and 2 patties but it was recommended to get the combo. I ended up with both. Mistakes are made but this is the second time this happened. Hmmmmm. Good good but I will definitely double check next time. I won't assume that the price is right. read more

Great Wall - Outside - Chinese Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Best Chinese food in Ypsilanti area! I love their food! They gave great customer service and great prices as well! Would definitely recommend to everyone! You won't get no better Chinese in this area for that price! read more

Was told order would be 25-30 minutes. Got there 35 minutes later, then had to wait in line for 45 minutes. When we finally got to the front of the line and gave her our number the order wasn't ready yet. 1-1/2 hour from time of order to finally getting it is ridiculous. In addition, one of the items was not correct. It cost $117 and was nothing but frustration! Will never go there again! read more

I ordered Egg Foo Young, patties were thin and no bean sprouts. Chicken chow mien again no bean sprouts, egg roll was horrible, it reminded me of a California spring roll but bigger. Almond boneless chicken was half decent. The portions were small compared to other places near by. I don't recommend this place. Plus side they were clean. read more

Went from occasional diner, to never again. I watched the boy serving my food drop an egg roll on the floor, put it in the fryer for five seconds, re-package it, and place it in my order. When I asked for a manager, he wouldn't tell me when and how to contact them. It's a shame. read more

Honest review: so the first time I had this food it was phenomenal. Then a few times after that. I guess you can say I made it my go to for Chinese food. But these last few times... ok usually when you pull up to this place you can smell it. This should've raised an eyebrow before I naively walked in. When you get then food in the car, sometimes there's a nice clean smell, other times it smells like literal trash. Then you take it home and eat it... (retrospectively, I feel like a complete idiot) and you taste cold parts... stale egg rolls... soggy chicken. A completely different meal from before. The inconsistencies of this place make it not worth the purchase. Ugh. I feel like puking thinking about that food. read more

This place was god awful rice tasted three days old chicken was hard also tasted old and way overpriced do not recommend

We often get takeout from Great Wall and are always pleased with both the quantity and the quality of the food. Our favorite dish here is the General Tso's Chicken. I've had this at many restaurants, and I can say none even come close. It's just the right mix of sweet and tangy with just enough heat to make it interesting. A quart actually will feed 2 of us for 2 meals due to the large portion sizes. Other favorites include the Pork Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Happy Family which is their combo of Chicken, Beef, and Shrimp. As we get more adventurous we are turning up the heat in our food and trying other things so I'll probably be coming back and writing another review in the future. read more

Wish they would make the wall higher to prevent the food from making it over... Keep your expectations low and you'll be fine... read more

Great Wall isn't somewhere you go looking for decent food. It's one of those places you stop by because your either in a rush, feel like hating yourself, or don't feel like driving all the way to Ypsilanti or Belleville. The portions are huge for the price. A dinner is around $7 and you get your choice of greasy or deep fried sauce covered meat, greasy fried rice or lo mein, and an egg roll. Seriously, everything you can get here is like an oil slick. Even the vegetable medley. The meat also has far too many "gristle" bits that make you question the quality and source of it. The back door to the kitchen is usually propped open, dirty rags hang everywhere, cardboard boxes of food are stacked in the back, no one ever seems to wear gloves or wash their hands or wear hair nets, and they seem to use the same pans for everything with no washing in between, which is all shudder inducing to anyone who knows proper food handling. Only redeeming quality is their egg-rolls. They are the best I've found in the area. Especially the shrimp ones. Also, don't order the egg drop soup, unless you like eating soup that has the consistency of firm jello. read more

I eat here almost every day. The food is really good and the price is even better. It's F'ing American Chinese food... fried meat plus veg. or noodles nothing that inspirational so I just can't believe people are actually this nit-picky about a $10(includes tip) dinner...FEAST, everybody knows Chinese portions are huge. "New York Style Chinese Food," which I find kind of strange, since most Chinese restaurants classify themselves by the Chinese province (Hunan, Szehchuan, Cantonese, etc.) that influences their cooking." -WTF are you talking about...Chinese food in the USA is not anything like authentic Chinese...not even influenced by authentic Chinese IMO. New York is a hub for Chinese immigrants so there are many Chinese restaurants there....enlighten yourself. "First chinese restaurant I found in the area (we just moved to the area from Novi, and used to the awesomeness of China Cafe) " -F you Novi A-holes.....move back to Novi where all the Richers are and work on your grammar. Golden Wall is awesome, I'm ordering Orange beef as I type..."Golden Wall, How may help you?" AWESOME read more

Pretty tasty Americanized Chinese food. I'm a fan of that style, so this place is a regular take-out option for us. I'm not crazy about their General's chicken but the Lo Mein and the dumplings are a must. Portions are generous, prices are cheap, and they're fast to have orders ready in about 10 minutes. Here's a tip: Ask for beef with mushrooms. It's not on the menu but they've made it for me before and it's incredibly savory and delicious. One last thing - I don't know what menu Yelp is showing for this place, but it is NOT their menu. Completely wrong. read more

This place is located near my house which is why I have been going here for the last fifteen years. The hunan chicken and shrimp are excellent. They are very generous with their shrimp, it's so delicious. The Fried Rice is below average, the hot and sour soup isn't the greatest, the egg drop is pretty bad, the tofu vegetable is bland. Their egg rolls aren't good (I don't like egg rolls made with cabbage inside, I prefer bean sprouts), their spring rolls however are good. It's important to ask for plum sauce, not the nasty duck sauce at the self service station. I haven't tried anything else from here, I guess I just figured we got lucky with the one good thing and would probably be disappointed with the rest. read more

Great Wall - Chinese Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

When the sign/menu says New York Style Chinese food, they're basically saying they're a fully Americanized chinese food take out place. Although I am well versed in both authentic and American chinese food, i like to indulge sometimes in the latter when the authentic isn't available. Great Wall just happened to be within minutes of the bank where I was conducting some business so I went ahead and got some carry out. Not surprisingly, the general's tso chicken lunch combo was chicken, a cloyingly sweet sauce and some generic fried rice. For some strange reason, the egg roll was the star of the show which I was shocked by. The baby shrimp and cabbage were enclosed by a golden-brown and delicious egg roll wrapper that was neither too big or doughy. The chicken was definitely meh- definitely boneless dark meat with the random white meat chunch thrown in and not vice versa. The rice did have some bits of char-siu (which is authentic bbq pork) but not enough to make a difference in the bland rice. While they were ultra-fast and decidedly low-price, I probably would not reach out for this place again... perhaps in a pinch, it would do if I lived or worked very close by, but usually, I can find better lunch options (even the next door Aubree's Pizza would be a better, albeit slightly more expensive experience). I did notice DKY Sushi and Thai on my way back, so maybe there is one more option for Asian cuisine that may be worth a shot. read more

Out of all the fast asian food in Southeast Michigan this has to be one of the best, all the others have really oily egg rolls which leak all over but this store does them amazing, plus the owners are super nice and their cleanliness is great! Totally recommend if looking for fabulous and affordable food, read more

MAP IS WRONG! Don't get lost like I did. The map shows this restaurant is south of Textile road. Not true, its next to Aubrey's Pizza in the Paint Creek Crossing Plaza near Kroger. Food is delicious though... read more

Agree with Emily's post. Just had General tso chicken, terrific! (Asked for med spicy). Broccoli was crisp and fresh- surprising, given the prices. Egg roll uninteresting, counter duck sauce tasteless-should've read her review so I'd know to ask for the plum sauce. Steamed dumplings excellent-including the sauce. I always order these first time since they're a good gauge to quality; so many restaurants get these wrong. Given the other reviews, I'd say stay away from fried dishes here, stick to authentic dishes. I'll be back; since Great Lakes Seafood deteriorated, it's been hard to find a Chinese restaurant I like in the area of Meijer's where I live. I wish this place had the ambience for eat-in; it's definitely take-out unless you're in a hurry and too hungry to get home. Bravo, Great Wall!!! Excellent food for the price! read more

This is our go to for good take out Chinese food. Fast, friendly service. Call your order in, go pick it up. Consistently good food. Best of all it's in route to home from work. read more

I like this place they r friendly and don't make mistakes.. I recommend it if u like Chinese food

Just had dinner there. Ate in as we are on the road. Very fast and was great. In this area it is number 1.

The Great Wall, is that kind of Chinese place where you make a scrunched face, give it some thought and then bite the bullet and go for it. It comes off as the type of place that could be REALLY BAD, but it really surprises you once you try the food out. It isn't a sit down place (at least not someplace nice to sit down). Most people I've seen order here either phone it in, or drop by for a quick pickup on their way home down Whittaker Rd. I've had a varying selection here, and have enjoyed the food. The price is cheap and the food is authentic without being 'americanized' (which I appreciate as I hate 'americanized' chinese/mex/etc; food read more

Yeah I was a bit skeptical of the previous posts about the cooks in the kitchen and picking their faces, but I have my own horror story today. I was waiting for my food to be made, and the main cook sneezed all over the food that was on the burners. He then wiped his face and nose along his entire arm all the way down to his fingers without a care in the world. It was beyond gross and I'm never going back. read more

The chicken upset my stomach, I think it was undercooked. I don't recommend this place.

Really good chinese takeout! Generous portions. Good quality chicken. Not a huge fan of the egg rolls (all bean sprouts) but the spring rolls are great. read more
