| - My trip to Great Wall started out with a convo after derby practice where everyone was talking about how starving they were. I was hangry. And someone mentioned that they were ordering takeout from Great Wall, since it was nearby and quick, so I jumped all over that.
You can order online, which is super easy, and your order is usually done in about 10-15 minutes, which is super quick.
Now, I don't have any delusions that I'm getting authentic Chinese food here, or anything in the same galaxy as gourmet. What I am expecting is American style Chinese food, and that is what was delivered. Sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, pork with broccoli and egg rolls. The chicken was good--real chicken inside that breading, folks! The fried rice was amaze--pork fried rice was good, and the veggie fried rice was chock full of veggies, not greasy and very delicious.
The pork egg rolls are the absolute best. I could eat myself sick on those...and I may already have once or twice. The shrimp egg rolls were kind of meh. Imagine boiled shrimp and sauteed cabbage inside a fried wonton wrapper. Not super flavorful, but not bad.
And the pork and broccoli was good as well.
I'm always happy when I get an inexpensive meat dish at a restaurant, and it isn't made with garbage meat. You know the kind of meat I'm talking about--tough, gristly, dried out, of questionable origin--like maybe there's a USDA class F stamp on the package? Not the case at Great Wall.
I was really happy with my first meal here, and I've ordered a couple times since then. I recommend it for a quick, inexpensive bite.
