My dad and I decided to try Great Wall because he had heard many reviews about the place and everyone insisted that you had to come try the Dim Sum. Since I was in town visiting, it gave us the perfect excuse to go.
I'm happy to report that the experience was most excellent at Great Wall and that it lived up to the hype. Upon getting there, we were given a number to wait as the restaurant was completely full, there were probably 150+ people there dining, however, we were seated within 15 minutes. As soon as we sat down, the carts started rolling by with various plates of items to try.
The pancake, shu mai, shrimp, duck, and sliced beef inside a wrapper are highly recommended, all were excellent. I did have a bit of trouble taking the shrimp out of the steam container because their rice wrappers were sticking a bit, but that does happen.
I would advise that if you have an allergy to shrimp that you make sure to ask the server what is in some of the items because they do come with shrimp, including their egg rolls. Since my dad has a shrimp allergy we did have to watch for that. I did want to try their egg rolls but I would have been the only one eating them, and they were big enough to make a meal in itself.
The sliced duck was one of the best I have had at a restaurant, well cooked with crispy tasty skin, and not too many bones to get in the way, and very reasonably priced at $6.25 for a plate. Most other Dim Sum plates are $2.25 or $3.15 so you can end up eating a lot for a very reasonable price.
If you love Dim Sum and are willing to wait a few minutes for a table, but you will get fast service afterward, this really is the place you want to go to. There are still so many more dishes to try as well, but that will be for another trip.
