Old Great Wall has been my family's go to restaurant for events and a special treat since moving to Bay City, the entire time of eating out or doing carry outs the food has been consistent and good. We really love the cuisine offered and order quite a bit, but they've been friendly and go above and beyond every time. The restaurant has a good flow when getting food and the seating offers the feel of privacy while still eating out. read more

The food was cold!!! Even taking from the bottom of the pans. Certainly not worth the money.

Horrible horrible horrible experience!!!! Paid cash didn't get right change. Two waitresses argued and ranted and talked Chinese so I couldn't understand just kept repeating what they said I gave them when I knew exactly what I gave them!!! Liars liars liars. No one on the staff would help or believe me and just all stuck up for each other. My friend even witnessed what I gave them. The last worker that came out a man stuck by the waitress and cashier and even told me to call the police and when I said I was giving a bad review he said go ahead he didn't care! Very rude treatment. They didn't even care they were doing all this in front of other customers! I will NEVER go back again. All I can say is don't pay with cash and if you do count it out to the waitress or better yet pay directly to the cashier!!! I hope this review was worth $14 read more

Love love love this place until yesterday me and my fiancé are deathly sick from takeout order we ate and around 4 am it hit We are both still very sick cannot even hold water down read more

Came here with my family after mass. I will never come back again. Had the fried chicken wings and other food. The wings were not cooked all the way thru. We tried to have a lady tell the cooks in the back and she didn't even go back to tell them. She just tossed it in the trash bin where the plates get stacked. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. It had a horrible chemical smell and looked like a horror movie. How they are in business? I do not know. I understand times are hard but this is not good at all I would give this place a zero if I could. read more

Very impressed! Sunday buffet, quality food and fresh. We've been to many Chinese Restaurants/Buffets - this was one of the better selections, quality and flavor in quite some time. All at a reasonable price point! Menu selections (separate from buffet) were varied all at a very reasonable price point. Definitely the best Chinese food I've had in the Tri-City area. Service was also extremely friendly and accommodating! So happy to have found this place! read more

Old food wasn't edible yuck, used to be good, run away from here, food looked like it was all old,

Food was acceptable not exceptional. Service was kind. They had forgotten to pack my serving of fried rice. Since I had already driven a distance, they allowed me to pick it up two days later with no questions. Lots of seating. Family read more

I used to visit Great Wall on a regular basis, but in recent months, their buffet appears to have been "economically" downsized. Forget about crab legs, they're long gone! But where are the mussels, peel-and-eat shrimp, frog legs, squid, or the Mongolian grill? But of course, despite the "reductions," the price of the buffet remains the same... read more

We used to dine here 2000 to 2015 or so regularly. I was disheartened to see all the bad reviews, and wanted to go during holiday break. We dined there for lunch yesterday and it was as good and varied and tasty as we had remembered. I'd give it an additional half-star for its reliability after all the years: crunchy fried foods, noodles, variety of sweet chicken dishes, etc. Not "authentic" Chinese, but for the tastes of Bay City MI folk, and satisfying. Service good and friendly. read more

Steer clear from this place!! Food poisoning was soooo bad! It was insane. Chicken was raw and rubbery.

if i could leave 0 stars i would. place used to be so so but now is just gross!! dont go there if they are just opening the food is cold n looks old and the so called roast beef just looks disgustin, it doesnt even look like roast beef. its dirty in there and the last time we went there my husband had a maggot in his food, i thought maybe it was rice but looks like a maggot to me! Im not going going there again, ill drive farther away from now on! read more

Went there 30 minutes after opening. Had 5 different food items on my place & they were all COLD. Not even room temp. Horrible service will never come here again. They did not own up to their mistake. read more

Sicker than a dog and bent like a boomerang thanks to this greasy spoon. Nastiest food poisoning I've ever experienced. Great place to go with your good-timing buddies to see who can get the worst of it. read more

Service is very poor, had this server, she wouldn't leave my table, She tried to take the money out of my hand, while i was talking with a friend, then she wouldn't leave my table, until she got a tip, what nerve ... Food was alright a bit cold, but good read more

Me and my family went out to eat and took our kids. We went in and the ladies were very disrespectful and rude. My sister was cutting chicken for her kids and seen the chicken was not cooked all the way it was slimy and pink our kids could would of ate that. When we respectfully told them about it and she walked away and gave us the bill. We went to do pay the bill and the lady said that was the chicken that's been there all day and not one person complained untill we got here. That was so disrespectful and we asked her to take off half the bill and she took 4 dollars off. I really don't recommend going here. read more

Prices have been increasing much faster than inflation. The last time I was there, they were charging $1 extra for carryout, which makes no sense. I've switched to Chen's on Bay Road - cheaper, much larger selection, and open on Mondays. read more

Came here on the husband's craving for Chinese. We were not disappointed in the quality of the food at all. I tried the California Roll and House Sushi, both were perfectly handcrafted and delicious! We also tried Crab Rangoon, General Tso's Chicken, Vegetable Rice, Sweet & Sour Chicken and many other dishes! We weren't disappointed about anything except, the Ranch that goes on the salad was bland but, that's a small issue to a giant! They have an ambience to be expected at a buffet style restaurant. The inside has the etched glass and dividers and the big chandelier by the host stand. The staff was really friendly and on top of making sure we had everything we needed! I will definitely be coming back! read more

Great Variety Services is good The Americanized Chinese Food is tasty and fresh. Price reasonable. read more

This has gone fro good to bad to unbelievably worse. We wanted some American Chinese for dinner last evening. Heard they had re-opened, now I'm sorry to hear that. We go there, signs everywhere they want you to wear a mask, employees don't wear masks properly, place was filthy. Wife questioned why everyone was getting food handling utensils without any protection, ie: gloves, sanitizer, etc., her response was "law don't require it". Nope sorry we're outta there. Be a long while before we return. read more

Had to wait 15 minutes just to get coffee and a pop (and to achieve that we had to flag down one of the servers), the chicken in their chicken and broccoli was so undercooked it was pink. But yet you are greeted with a big welcoming sign that says "Don't Waste Food." read more

Our favorite Chinese place in Bay City.we eat here at least once a week. Usually Saturday and although it's always very busy we've never had to wait.never ever gotten sick, never had any complaints the food, and it is always hot and fresh the workers are attentive with the buffet lines and with refills.the bathrooms are the only non welcoming thing about the whole place. read more

This place is a gem-in-the- rough. Looking at the entrance, you're likely to be hesitant to go in. Once inside, it's very spacious with a warm atmosphere. Food selection is very good, but heavy on the chicken entree's. The General Tsao was the best ever for me. What keep this from being a 5 Star Rating was lack of Wi-Fi, and that most of the food I tasted was warm rather than piping hot. read more

Old Great Wall Buffet - Nice, room and tasteful variety. - Chinese Near Me - Bay City, Michigan

This place is dirty. The bathrooms are what my daughter described as what you would find in a prison. She's never been there, but her imagination of what they would look like is exactly what you get here. In the men's room, you will find mystery puddles under the urinal, sink, and toilet area. Various plumbing parts under the sinks, and a towel under one of the sinks plumbing to prevent leaks. Needs updating and a good cleaning. Wow. We arrived around 445p, and a lot of the food was leftover from lunch yet. So imagine burned, nasty stuff sitting under the burner and steam table since 11am. We will not be back. And to top it off, it was around 34.00 for 3 people to be disgusted. read more

The food and service here both live up to the name. They truly are great! If you haven't eaten here yet, I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Love this place!! Stop in every chance i get. Food is great, staff is friendly. There coconut shrimp is so good. Love going on Sundays when they have more shrimp on the menu. Prices are good too. For 4 people on Sunday we only paid 42.00. Highly recommended!! read more

This place is pretty consistent with the food quality. Staff is friendly and fast with keen anticipation. Clean and warm environment. Anything from the grill is great also. Price is very reasonable. My family frequently visits. read more

In Bay City, MI, I feel this is the best Chinese Buffet. A very good selection of primarily "Chinese Food", but enough "American Food" like Chicken Nuggets or Mac n Cheese to keep the kids happy. There is a Mongolian BBQ, but I personally have never tried it yet. The service, over all, is great. The food is also excellent, I have never had a bad meal yet (and I go a LOT). The atmosphere is, for lack of better term, "Light Asian", meaning it has the look of a standard American Diner/Buffet, with the occasional Asian decor. read more

Not a huge buffet fan, but its pretty decent. Especially since most of our chinese restaurants in bay city have closed. Quite a bit to choose from compared to the small buffet at mandarin. The people at great wall are usually nicer than the ones at the Chen's in Bay City. They had kid friendly options. You can even get takeout off a menu or the buffet for cheap. read more

Decent chinese buffet cheap prices! Seems clean to me, nice people working the tables. Food is hot and fairly fresh, tasty too. The usual assortment of meats and veggies and casserole type choices. I would go again especially if they accepted AMEX card. I travel weekly for business and my corporate card is AMEX, here have to use my own money and get reimbursed which is okay but I prefer the direct way. read more

Your typical Chinese buffet, with crab. Sometimes the crab is pretty good. Everything is pretty greasy, but decent. They always have some sort of broccoli, green beans, beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp, plus those little donuts. Mac and cheese, apple pie, and garlic bread for people not wanting Americanized Chinese food. Oh yeah and for some reason, the vegetable rolls are called "taco". The egg custard is really good, even though they are in wonton wrappers that look like they were baked inside cupcake tins. They also do Mongolian BBQ, but if you get there too late (as we often do on our way up north), they close the grill and make up all the chicken for the next day. read more

We must have hit the door at the perfect time. All steamtables were fresh and filled. The one small problem I usually encounter here was crushed beneath my shoe. Good meal. read more

It's our favorite family dinner spot. The food is good and the kids love the sushi and Mongolian bar. I know the "Don't waste food" signs are odd but in other countries that's a given and part of the culture. We rarely have to wait to be seated and you get to eat right away. I really miss the old owners though. Bathrooms could be updated but they are usable. read more

Good service. Quick with the drinks. Food is ok. Not bad if you like strictly buffet style food and this type of restaurant. Could possibly try doing or offering a menu. Family friendly. read more

You have to go during prime eating times or the food might be cold and look old and dehydrated. When the food is fresh it's great! I love their orange chicken. They also have good sweet and sour sauce. Most the time the staff are pretty nice. They are attentive to getting refills butt they bring the bill while your still eating and they stand there looking at you until you get your money out and pay. It can be very uncomfortable! read more

You are taking a chance if you come here. Half of the food on the buffet was cold and looked like it had been sitting out there a few days. Everything about the restaurant has this filthy and dirty vibe to it. All in all... it's bad. read more
