We really likeThe Great Wall and have been going there for years. If you order off the menu you should do well. Kung Pao, sesame noodle, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Beef and Broccoli etc — all are good. Not fine dining by any means but well made and fresh. The only thing I’d strongly advise against ordering is their buffet. Skip that! The staff is great, service always prompt and courteous. It’s not the best Chinese cuisine in the cities but is a nice familiar spot with dependably good food.

Had a nice kung pao chicken dinner there. The food was very good but atmosphere was dated and lacking.

WARNING! The second and last time I will order from here. Food was sour smelling and tasted spoiled. I dropped $ 50 in food and ended up throwing it all out because it was sour and rotten. Be ware what you order and double check before you leave. Way too expensive and horrible food!

This is your classic, dependable better than the usual strip mall Chinese restaurant. I think it’s better because the recipes are authentic and the flavors are not American but Chinese. I especially recommend the whole fish with either ginger scallion sauce or black bean and garlic sauce. The fish is a fresh tasting nice size walleye which can be ordered totally boned out or whole, not boned. Service is efficient and friendly. The Reisling wine is excellent and it goes well with Asian foods. There is parking right in front of the restaurant.

My favorite Chinese in Minnesota. Kung Pao chicken is very good, and available at the lunch buffet Mondays and Fridays.

This place is terrible. I am absolutely flabbergasted by the high number of 5 star reviews. I ordered the vegetable kung pao, which should have been spicy. When it arrived it was tepid at best, and the sauce was not spicy. At all. Like, stale black pepper would have kicked it up a lot. There were whole chili peppers in it though, which supports my hypothesis that it was canned sauce and vegetables with peppers stirred in just before serving. If it had been heated up with the peppers, at least some of the flavor would have transferred. The real insult to injury though was the apathetic service and expense of the food. It was twice what I would have ended up paying for much better Chinese in CA — I mean, gross egg rolls and kung pao for $ 22!!!

I will never not love Great Wall. Have been coming here for 15 years and will continue to do so

Been going to Great Wall for my entire life and this place made me fall in love with Chinese food. Doesn’t seem like the staff has ever changed. Don’t think I have ever had a bad dish here. I also really like the lunch buffet even though they don’t give you a ton of options. Go to Great Wall if you want the best Chinese food in the area.

This restaurant is mediocre to me. I ordered the Peking Scallops and found them average. I wasn’t impressed, but they were not bad. It was a lighter sauce which I found complimentary to the scallops, but it did not have any depth of flavor like ginger or garlic. They were just ok. The scallops were a good size and cooked well, but they didn’t have that creamy sweetness that I was looking for. The service was excellent.

This was a great place! it was very tasty, quick, and nice service! Beef and broccoli was exceptional! The sweet and sour chicken was delicious, too. It wasn’t overly greasy, but greasy enough to be totally yummy :)

I’ve been going here since I was a little boy… five years old to be precise. And nineteen years later, still a patron. Andy and Paula are the most hospitable and warm people imaginable, the food is delicious, consistent, and delightful, and hopefully this place will be around long after I’m dead.

In my opinion, there is no better Chinese restaurant in the entire world. Raymond, our server, has been working here for as long as it’s been open(32 years). It’s the place, with help from the owner, Andy, I’ve learned how to better my Cantonese and Szechuan sauces. The portions are extremely generous and cooked to perfection. They will accommodate any changes that you want to the items that you’ve your liking ie, more vegetables. The shrimp were the size of prawns. The chicken is always tender as well as the beef. I always order something different and have never been disappointed.

Was really craving some Mongolian beef and this was the closest Chinese restaurant. It was hands down the worst Mongolian beef I’ve ever had. It was over cooked, dry, and tasteless. I actually had to put salt on it just to choke if down. I’ll take a longer drive next time.

I have been a fan of Great Wall Restaurant since I lived in the neighborhood over 10 years ago. I love the take-out menu and make it a point to stop by and pick up an order anytime I have a good reason to. I’m a vegetarian and they are always willing to make any dish vegetarian friendly for me. The staff treats us like friends and when we lived in the neighborhood, the owner actually sent holiday cards to our home.

Small takeout menu compared to other Chinese food joints I have sampled, and prices are higher than others I have tried. Their wonton soup is absolutely horrible and a sorry excuse for soup, with tiny little pieces of overcooked pork in flat and bland wontons, plus it had very dark broth with a film coating the surface. Usually I find wonton soup is a clearer broth, and there were no vegetables in it, and I had to ask for green onions on top, which the owner said most people don’t like; I guess people don’t know that green onion is a nice thing about wonton soup. The owner was nice though, but there are better Chinese/Asian places in the cities.

Wow! The Ginger Chicken Hot Pot is awesome! Tons of whole roasted garlic cloves, seared green beans, ginger, and scallions make this delicious. My new favorite dish.

Oh. My. God. Both stars are for the service, the wonderful warm waitress, the owners. Man, I hate to write this. BUT — No. Just — no. I’m mad at Unilocalers, the good reviews reeled me in. I dropped over 50 bucks here on food that is only ten percent better than that at Red Pepper. The steamed buns were a highlight — so I know SOMEone in that kitchen can actually cook. I blame Minnesota. This doesn’t even approach what Chinese-food-dumbed-down-for-old-Jewish-Ladies-in-The-Bronx should be at it’s MINIMUM. Sorry. I am beginning to despair of ever finding good Chinese food in Mpls. Tonight is my final attempt. I am beginning to think all Chinese food in this town caters to the worst, sugariest, blandest whims of white people palates(of which I am one, but I spent my formative years going to Chinatown every five minutes.)

We live around the corner from this place, so we’ve been eying it for a bit. Ordered for pickup for dinner tonight, and there aren’t many better things for staying in from the cold! Everything was plenty rich and hearty; the hot and sour soup was thick and flavorful, pork with garlic was great on top of rice, and the General Tso’s chicken was spot on. It was a bit much price-wise for Chinese take-out, but it’s worth the money for the quality. Also, the meals came with an order of rice each, but we only got one small container between the two, so make sure you get a little extra! Definitely want to try for lunch!

I’m not quite sure what to think of Great Wall. To both of our surprise though the food was quite good. I ordered a special, ‘Shanghai Noodle’ which was pretty tasty, albeit simple. They have a lot of dishes you would find at a typical americanized Chinese restaurant but do it pretty well. The second time, however, was a disaster. We went for lunch but didn’t get the buffet — I had a soup that not only tasted like it was 80% oil, but actually looked like a bowl filled with canola oil. Probably one of the most unpleasant things I’ve ever tasted, and out of the three dishes we all ordered together all work luke warm and tasteless. Summary: Eating here may be a bit of a gamble, and definitely isn’t authentic, but may be worth trying if you don’t feel like making a trip to some of the better Chinese restaurants in the area.

Great Wall is quite delicious. We had their Shanghai Dumplings(Xiao Long Bao), Shanghai Chow Mein, and Singaporean Noodles… all were exceptionally tasty. The dumplings were on point. The Singaporean noodles are amazing. I couldn’t stop going back for more. The Shanghai Chow Mein was okay, the udon was a bit on the chewy side. The service was great and the owner is incredibly friendly. He came to talk to us for a bit and had good conversation with my parents. Definitely a place I plan on going back to often!
