    Great place. NOT because it's challenging to find, or because the front door is smashed, or because their atm machine is broken, or because none of the furniture matches, or because yh et uh don't accept credit cards or checks. Nope. Great place. BECAUSE everyone in the kitchen is yelling Chinese at each other, food is great, and it's fast. I'm confident that the only person who knew English was the 19 year old at the register. If you're scared of places like this that's fine, because the rest of us love good food and don't want you ahead of us in line. Hell yeah great wall. Hell yeah. 👍👍👍

    The best Chinese food in Columbus. I get the Chicken and Broccoli with Fried Rice and the Crab Rangoon Rolls. The food is delicious every time. They make the food fast too. Just make sure you have cash to pay for your food because they only accept cash.

    First time visiting Great Wall Chinese Restaurant located in the east side of Columbus. The restaurant is not for dine in only take out. Small waiting area. COVID friendly, you place your order there or call ahead. I ordered the fried crab sticks with fries. Very delicious. Parking out front. Friendly staff. Excellent prices. Cash only.

    We tried this for the first time and OMG! we are literally cooking us some food. My husband got pork roast egg fu yun. I got sweet and sour chicken. Well that's what we ordered anyway. Everything was disgusting. The fried rice was clearly old. Nothing had flavor or season.. A complete and total waste of our hard earned money. They should be shut down IMMEDIATELY

    I've been going there, for years, and their food is always excellent. Their chicken wings and fries, are awesome. The biggest wings I've ever seen. The staff is decently friendly, as well.

    Great food! Fast service if you call ahead the pricing is fair, you get a lot of food for the lunch specials! The only reason I can’t give five stars is because it’s almost 2022 and they don’t accept debit cards that’s so lame there’s no excuse for that lol at least have a cash app.

    Food was overly salted and greasy. It's been a few years since I've been there and the food never tasted this bad.

    We were told this was "the best Chinese food in Columbus". Umm NO it isn't:(. Fried rice tasted old and bland. The wings were ok. The chicken egg rolls looked like pork egg rolls. My husband's rice had something hard in it like he bit down on a bone or something. We threw most of it out. Total waste! Will NEVER eat here again 🤮

    I've been going here for years.... This place one of my favorite Asian restaurants. Service is fast, food is always great... My favorites are the Beef or Chicken Lo mein I always order mine spicy, the wings remind me of New York. Egg rolls are lovely and their General Tso is on point...

    I've been coming here since 2010. The Great Wall was my "go-to," consistent good food, fast, and a reasonable price. Not to mention they're portions are always "point." Oh, and don't forget their always delicious orange tea. This time, I ordered the Triple delight small egg drop, and of course a fresh made orange tea comes in pints only but worth it. $17 grand total

    The food is decent. You get what you pay for. The fried rice is not good but the chicken wings, shrimp, beef, etc isn't bad.

  • 5/5 Eric S. 1 year ago on Google • 18 reviews
    Good food good portions fair prices. I do wish they would move to a better location the location gets 2 ⭐️s I recommend the Hunan Pork and funny enough the French Fries it’s no frills crinkle cut superbly fried but honestly I think they could make a killing downtown

    Wonderful food! Everything was hot and fresh except of course the crab Rangoon that we ordered because we didn't get that at all. Double check your orders folks make sure it's all there

    One of two of the best chinnese places in Columbus Ohio #periodboo but #onlycash

  • 1/5 Latonia S. 2 years ago on Google
    I don't know what they did to the food. The rice does not look or taste the same. It was overcooked to soft. It had other ingredients in the rice I usually don't see. I have been buying food there for years. Always spend 20 to 25 at a minimum. But I spend 30 to 40 usually because I really enjoy Chinese food.. I will never go back there again. I hate it when a business sacrifices a 👍 customer. Just to keep making a buck. I assure you they have lost a lot of money. mmembusibusiness.

    The service is fast I go there to get their chicken wings. In my opinion they are delicious and I order within fifteen minutes my order is ready.

    House Fried Rice was great. Full of meat, veggies had the right crispiness/crunch.

  • 1/5 SJ 2 years ago on Google
    Wouldn’t eat here again, my rice smelled old and tasted sour and like water , the ribs had a old burnt taste to them , spicy chicken wasn’t too bad .
