Great Wall Take-Out

This is the first time I’ve eaten at Great Wall. We ordered Moo goo gai pan and a vegetable stir fry. The food was very tasty. Each dish was very colorful. The vegetables were obviously fresh. We had both white rice and brown rice. Everyone who ate the food even my mother in law enjoyed every bite. we also had vegetarian spring rolls which were crispy and very good. I also agree that the food was slightly bland but the flavors were all very good. I definitely would order from them again but possibly when I got the food at home add a little ginger and garlic and hot peppers. To be honest I also ate at Best Food in Town a few years ago and frankly I found that the dishes I ordered there were edible. I definitely would recommend Great Wall if you are trying Chinese in Brigantine.

I have lived in Brigantine for a few years and have always eaten at Best Food in Town. Tonight I thought I would switch it up and eat at Great Wall. I walked in and ordered my food. There were three or four people picking up food as well as the phone ringing off the hook. This is usually good news, but as you’ll soon discover not all busy restaurants have the best food.
I ordered Fried Cream Cheese Wonton and General Tso’s combo platter extra spicy. The food was prepared quickly and the person taking orders was pleasant. Unfortunately, that’s the end of the good parts of this review. The Fried Cream Cheese Wonton are made in house (or at least appear to be hand made). The outside was crispy, but the filling was bland and not very good. If you are a fan of this appetizer get something else.
One thing I don’t like about Chinese food in America is many of the dishes are drenched in a sticky sweet sauce. Often it’s the same sauce that is modified slightly. Even though I ordered the dish extra spicy it tasted very sweet and was very gloopy. The chicken was also not very crisp. The white rice was standard as was the egg roll.
If you’re looking for a place to go for Chinese food in Brigantine go to Bed Food In Town. The owners are really nice and the food is much better than here.

Great Wall makes a great eggroll. It is crunchy and fried. It has some pork in it with cabbage and tastes very good but not if it is too hot. They didn’t have cups for tap water so I had to eat it slow, but it was good. I don’t understand the Great Wall part, but it was a great eggroll.

The first order of business after moving into our new condo (yes, boyfriend and I now live together in sin; congratulations are in order!) was finding some cheap, greasy, yummy Chinese food as close to us as possible. Hunched over cardboard boxes, watching our TV that only plays DVDs for the time being, we dug into some Great Wall takeout last Friday night (and again this Friday, just to give them the benefit of the doubt.)
This is, without question, the blandest Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. I didn’t even think that was possible considering the amount of sauces that are typically dumped onto Americanized Chinese food. I’ve tried the Subgum (chicken, pork, shrimp, scallops and vegetables) and my standard Shrimp & Broccoli, and both had absolutely no taste. Even asking for the shrimp & broccoli to be made spicy did not mitigate the absolute lack of taste. Also, the chicken was slimy and the pork was tough. The fried rice was really dry. Boyfriend reported that he enjoyed his General Tso’s Chicken… but, to quote him, he «likes everything he eats.»
Portions are huge, prices are inexpensive. They deliver and they’re very conveniently located… BUT, since we spied a Best Food a few minutes away, Great Wall will only be on the menu in cases of dire emergency.
