Great Wall Express

Best Chinese in Charleston! And it is a great value. I have had a few of the combo dinners and the habachi but will stick to the traditional Chinese.

Great food, customer service is terrible. Lady answering the phone was completely rude. Made me want to cancel my order but they already have my card number. Worthless.

Love this place. I eat here all the time. It’s Chinese carry out and not p.f. Changs so damper your expectations!

This is the absolute worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. The chicken had the mouth feel of a rubber ball. They cover it in a sauce that is advertised to be Teriyaki but it had the viscosity of motor oil. It was as if they loaded up traditional Teriyaki with some sort of thickener like corn starch. Oh and the rice was foul. It was a flaccid mass of overcooked mush with the occasional dental-​appointment-​provoking rock hard kernel sprinkled throughout. There is no situation where I would allow even my worst enemy to ever order from this place. Stay far away.

Online ordering, fast effective service, low prices! The broccoli beef was seasoned well and didn’t have too much sauce.

Even though it’s the tiniest hole in the wall Chinese place, it’s really not that bad at all. Prices are good and the food is good too! Their shrimp vegetable stir fry is a nice sized portion and delicious. Solid choice if you’re craving good ol’ Chinese takeout.

It’s almost humorous how bad this place is. It’s the quintessential Shitty Wok. Any joke that applies to bad Chinese food would apply here. As others have said, the food swims in grease and the meat is of the mysterious variety. I even had to laugh when my fortune cookie was bad. It was styrofoam-​stale and wreaked of artificial vanilla. I gave them an extra star because their online ordering system is actually really cool and efficient. I also didn’t pay much for the experience, so for a rainy Friday night with nothing to do except watch TV and gorge myself on bad Chinese food, this was cheap entertainment.

Surprised this place wasn’t half bad like the other reviews said. It’s a Monday night, I ordered my food online (I was very impressed with their online ordering system), and 20 minutes later my food was available for pickup. It was hot, fresh, and filling. Can’t go wrong with two meals for under $ 20. I think the others made the mistake of ordering delivery. Take away is the way to go.

Despite bad reviews I had to try this place out. It is super convenient to my apartment and I honesty thought, how terrible could it be? Right? Well the egg rolls are more like greasy spring rolls. Took one bite of one and was done with that. Moved on to my general tso chicken with plain noodles, it could be good but the chicken itself was hard and seemed like it was already a day old. The sauce was ok so I basically ate that with my noodles. This place is definitely a big negative!

This is the most disgusting Chinese food I’ve had in a while. Granted, I don’t expect all of my Chinese food to taste like it’s from China (very different from the American version), or even from China town in Downtown San Francisco (was literally a block from my studio apartment). In San Francisco, I’ve eaten some questionable Chinese at 3am from a very greasy tiny whole in the wall that was super popular. So, what didn’t I like about this place?
Every time I’ve ordered at work from here, it’s always greasy. I didn’t have anything to really go off of in the area until I had eaten from other places. The last meal (and final one ever) that I had from there was the sweet and sour shrimp combination. The shrimp were small, over breaded, fried too long (hard, greasy), and lacked any kind of normal taste. The fried rice, if you really allow yourself to taste it, tastes horrible (maybe like cardboard). Smothering it in soy sauce does not mask the poor taste. The spring rolls were small, undercooked in the center, correctly cooked on the outside, lacking filling. I’m not one who likes throwing food out, but halfway through, I tossed my meal. (I had to eat something because I was hungry). My coworkers were not at all impressed with their meals either: teriyaki chicken wings (sticky and very very messy), orange chicken: over cooked to the point of being hard (my coworker couldn’t eat it because it hurt her teeth. I tried it and agreed that it was too hard and chewy: over fried). The oranges for garnish were canned, not fresh.
Ok, so when I was in college, there was this place called the Golden Buda that had CHEAP, greasy Chinese. I’m talking super cheap (combo for like $ 3.55−4). The food wasn’t gourmet, it was a greasy spoon. It was like Great Wall, but a step or two up as far as quality for food from GWE. The reason they got away with it is because the food is SO CHEAP! Here’s what Golden Wall Express does:
If you order from work with separate orders, EACH PERSON GETS CHARGED $ 1 each for «delivery and gas fee». So, for the 8 orders (some only ordered a $ 5 item), the driver collected $ 8. The total was only $ 40. Now, none of us knew that we were being charged such an exorbitant fee. I ended up leaving way more of a tip than I ever should’ve on a $ 7.55 meal. They basically got a 50% tip… NOT ideal.
I don’t normally Unilocal on work delivery, but my coworkers vowed to never order from this craphole again. Don’t like being swindled.

I think it’s great they deliver but if the girl would SLOW DOWN and stop rushing people maybe the order would go correctly. Secondly apparently they couldn’t contact me nor find me so when I called back over an hour later they made call back the delivery person. That Ray of sunshine was even WORSE! Another 20 mins later I relieved my food COLD AS ICE!!! They told me 40 to 45 min delivery time which to be was unreasonable considering I’m downtown just like them. But now my time was an hour and thirty mins. USELESS BAD SERVICE NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN!!!
