Great Wall

Best Chinese food in the town, they don’t have msg in their food unlike the other places.

Although I haven’t been to any other Chinese restaurants in Trinidad, I am giving Great Wall four stars because of their excellent effort, which more than makes up for the Dollar Store decorum. We ate lunch there on our way through, because they had «exotic cocktails» advertised on their outdoor marquis, which we were in the mood for. Turns out they’re just regular cocktails, but they make them look very nice.
We really liked how prepared they were for the lunch rush, which arrived about five minutes after we did. They had menus, a carafe of water, all condiments, and a bowl of crunchy wonton strips on all the tables, so no energy would have to be wasted on that later. The server took our drink and soup order the second we sat down, and had our soups and drinks on the table in about 3 minutes, and don’t forget-​we had «exotic cocktails».
The cook delivered the attractively plated food himself, which we appreciated since Chinese food doesn’t age well under a heat light. It’s clearly a family run biz, as grandma was cracking the whip on the younger female servers and grazing the dining room to attend to customer needs, and tween kids ran around clearing and resetting tables.
I had a long island iced tea and the garlic chicken. My husband had a volcano and the sweet and sour trio. A bowl of surprisingly tasty noodles was served in addition to our meal, as was a pot of tea. Both were apparently complementary, and I was given a turquoise candy machine ring with fortune cookies and the bill. The food has no MSG, and wasn’t too greasy. We really enjoyed it and prices are cheap ($ 5.95 for a shrimp dish that had 8+ large shrimp and plenty of veggies!)
The «lounge» is really more of an extension of the dining room. The bar isn’t used as a bar, but looks like it is used more for storage. The women’s restroom and dining room were very clean. My husband said the men’s room was very clean, except for the soap dispenser which he described as being encased in «deep funk» (so men… take your own soap!).

The restaurant is clean. The food is good, but some things have like a mildew taste or smell to them. Overall, the food isn’t too bad. The décor is eclectic. When you leave you are given a piece of jewelry that most kids would just love. The owners are more than happy to have you visit as you are told thank you quite a few times.
With the areas limited restaurant choices, I give this a 4 star. If this restaurant were in a larger city with more competition, it would most likely get a 2.

Delicious food! Very affordable lunch prices. We’ll definitely stop here again on our drive through Trinidad. Our waitresses were very nice and even gave my daughter a little gift on the way out.

Delicious food. Blows the other Chinese place’s food out if the water. Love the weird décor. It doesn’t actually make sense. There are grape vines and odd pictures of animals around. Waitress is nice although she’s very blunt. Loved the light house table cloths didn’t fit at all haha. Returned and they are now black table cloths. Upon paying was given a free gift.
Volcano chicken and friend wanting are the best.
Will definitely be returning.

The second best of the three Chinese restaurants in Trinidad. I have come here a couple times for lunch. The food is solid, and portions both appropriately sized and reasonably priced.
I personally like Wonderful House better, but Great Wall is a good second choice.
2 lunch entrees = $ 15
