The Great Wall Restaurant

Terrible. Bad food and even worse service. Our order was wrong, no apologies made and «no manager available» to speak to us. Will not go back.

They have great food and choices! My kids love their sesame chicken! Fast delivery too:)

Worst place ever!!! Do not go!!! If I could give them negative stars then I would. I have tried eating there three times in the last two years and each time was awful. They got my order wrong every time and the food has made me extremely sick. Do not eat!!!

Not horrible but average. It’s close by here in Leander with not a ton of options in this area where it’s located. We like the Hot n Sour Soup and the chicken is better than the beef here. Service is not always good and they charge for even small extra sauces. The dumplings and sauce is one of the better things too. Can’t be too picky in this area of Leander.

I will never forget to NEVER stop here again. If we don’t end up with food poisoning I will be surprised. Before we walked in I thought about our last visit (about 2 years ago). I remembered things not being too terrible. Well, tonight was terrible.
Why did I put myself through this mistake? Everything else in the area had a wait and I wanted to be home to watch the ALCS game. Me being lazy sends me to the toilet… great.
We ordered a PuPu Platter, Wonton Soup, Egg Drop Soup, a #17 Spicy Garlic Beef and a Hibachi Steak both with fried rice. So to make it easier I have broken most of the review out in Pros and Cons.
Pros:
Hot mustard made in house
Ice Water (it really was good water)
Bottled Coke (just because it’s bottled it can’t really be bad)
Fried Wonton (from PuPu platter). It was edible and crispy
Crab Rangoons (from PuPu platter). Not too bad
Cons:
^^ Wontons in the soup — I think I bit into something that spoiled a week ago. The meat or seasoning in that wonton was so rancid. I seriously upchucked in my napkin. Remove the putrid wonton… The broth is also wrong. They go the lazy route with basic out of the can or box beef broth…
** Fried Rice — no egg, no flavor, no taste. It actually had the texture of rice that has been microwaved too many times.
** The rest of the PuPu Platter was really greasy or tasted freezer burned
** Waitstaff — not very attentive or concerned by the full bowls of soup on the table or the barely eaten food. No signs of life or «was something wrong.»
The dinners we ordered were «meh,» Not a lot of flavor at all. I am still trying to figure out how my beef was really hot and the mushrooms were really cold.
So there, no no no we will never be back. How are they still in business? $ 30 mistake that won’t be made again.
I didn’t complain about the food or service. I did that two years ago and it fell on deaf ears. I knew there was a high probability I would be throwing away money.

I have been picking up lunch here for about four years. Real good food and at a reasonable price. Combo Lo-​mein above avg.

I have eaten at this restarting once before. It’s a small mom and pop establishment, and I like that.
Today I decided to try you all again, because I remembered the price point vs quantity and quality being really good. When I called at 2:10pm to make sure that you all served the lunch specials, the girl on the phone said that you served them till 230. I told her I’ll see you soon. She quickly asked me if this was going to be a pick up. I said no. She then told me that you quit serving lunch specials in house at 220pm because you close at 230. I told her I’d be there in less than ten minutes. There was a bit of grumbling, then a «ok».
Needless to say, the customer service today was terrible. Your sign on the door says that you serve lunch specials till 230pm. There is nothing on the website or otherwise that states that you close at 230, nor that you quit serving in at 220pm.
1 star is what I am giving for the great price and delicious food! Work on people having a better experience and hopefully next time I can give a 5.

There is a serious lack of good and even moderately good Chinese takeout places in this area. We have ordered from Great Wall a few times over the past few years and most of the time it was at least acceptable, not great, but okay. But we went over the weekend and our food was barely edible.
First they messed up the order. Secondly, the fried rice was barely friend — no vegetables at all. The Sesame chicken (which was listed as spicy on the menu) was breaded and fried chicken soaked in a sweet sauce had a dusting of sesame seeds. The egg roll filling tasted like sauerkraut.
Never again.

This place is average at best. I came here with low expectations so I didn’t leave disappointed.
Nothing really great to say about this place. And nothing too horrible.
Food is bland. Especially the egg rolls.
I imagine I might eat from here again because they deliver but I don’t expect to be wowed.

Another Chinese restaurant to add to the subpar list in this area.
Service was horrible and all of the food had a burnt flavor. We had stopped by here once in the past and it wasn’t nearly as good as we remembered.

We have eaten here once before. It was so-​so and OK because I didnt want to cook and needed to feed my family. Another time, my husband and kids ordered from here and got delivery. Once again so-​so but great because they deliver. Tonight we ordered delivery again thinking 3^rd time is a charm. Not so much. Delivery was pretty quick and friendly. Egg Drop soup had barely any egg and the broth looked and tasted like sink water. Fried dumplings were burnt in most places. Not fried nicely. My daughter ordered CRISPY spicy shrimp but when we got it, I called the restaurant and asked where the shrimp was because the only other dish that could have been it was a mushy, thickly battered, soggy balls in sauce. We had to pull them apart to find the small shrimp. Egg rolls were greasy. Fried rice was good. It wasnt good enough to order from again. Ill drive and pick up from somewhere else next time if needed.

It’s not top-​of-​the-​line Chinese food here but it’s not bad food I would say it’s in the middle I would say it’s decent we usually order sesame chicken and chicken and broccoli when we order we always order delivery here we don’t usually go to the restaurant so I can’t help you with the inside however deliveries usually take about 45 minutes they been pretty consistent with us we order from there probably twice a month.

Omgoodness, for how small this place is, they have a huge A+ in my books. Our little town of Leander doesn’t have too many options for good delivery but with a place as good as this, who needs to go anywhere else

Won’t go back.
Worst sweet & sour pork I’ve ever had. First bite was all gristle. Second bite was meat but third bite was half gristle, so gave up on that. Wasn’t even crispy on the outside either. And no pineapple.
«Fried rice» was a joke. It tasted like steamed rice with soy sauce. I literally found one pea in an entire side. No egg, no other vegetables, ONE pea.
Steamed rice was mushy.
Peppered beef was edible but it tasted like they included a fish sauce that they should state they use in it.
Hot & sour soup and egg rolls were decent, not great, but decent, but that’s not saying much.
All in all, find another Chinese place. What a disappointment.

I used to really like this restaurant because they deliver. But after having the past few orders botched and receiving my orders very slowly, I can no longer recommend this restaurant.

We were first a bit cautious about this one due to some of the reviews we saw but after several takeout orders I gotta say these guys are pretty great. Service is prompt and friendly and food always hot and consistently good. What more can we ask for?

We went for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We were the only people there. It was comfortable and quiet and the hostess/​waitress was very nice. Everything else was mediocre.

For portions were small compared to other places in the area.
Food was decent but not as good as others we have had.
Server never came to refill drinks and the restaurant was empty. Basically order was taken, food was delivered and check was brought. Nothing more. Nothing less. The server and other employees were nice though.
Upset stomach after eating.
Will probably not be going back.

The one star from before was not about The Great Wall not delivering, but was about the quality of their food.
Recently ate there again. Food was pretty mediocre, again. I think I had cashew chicken. It was pretty unremarkable. Oh well, there are better choices outside of Leander and Liberty Hill.

But maybe a 2 and a half. Lunch special was cheap but so so. Should have been worried that at 1 we were the only customers in there, until a take out order guy came in and one other person came in. Service was good, but the food was not very tasty and both of us had some discomfort after the meal.
First and no doubt the last time in.
