Great Wall Chinese Restaurant

My new favorite Chinese take out! We found this place here on Yelp and we're glad we did. Delicious, fresh food that is truly NY style Chinese take out (as they advertise). My wife had the bone- in spareribs (very good) and tSeafood Delight that had huge shrimp and a decent sized lobster tail in it. I had Singapore Noodles which were among the best I've ever had. I also had Hot and Sour soup (the standard by which I measure a Chinese takeout restaurant) and it was so good, just like I had in Brooklyn. Staff is fast but friendly and care about getting your order right. Definitely recommend and will be back.

General tso was not crispy. Sesame chicken not spicy. Mediocre chinese food. Probably won't go back.

Surprisingly good. Unassuming tiny "New York Style" (?) Chinese restaurant in a strip mall set up for take out and phone-in orders, although there are three tables inside. Counter service only, like a fast food restaurant. The food was fresh, very tasty and generously sized. I had the sesame chicken and shrimp Lo mein as well as a couple of fried pork dumplings to start and they were fabulous. Great Wall was a great find on Christmas night, when every other eatery in town was closed. Eating at a Chinese restaurant on Christmas always reminds me of the movie "A Christmas Story".

I really had high hopes for this place, considering it's the closest Chinese take out to me AND it's the only take out I've come across in Sanford. When I moved here earlier this year it was right before the pandemic hit. So when I finally had the opportunity to try it out, they closed the restaurant. Then after most of the local businesses re-opened, Great Wall remained closed for months thereafter. I thought for sure, they were closed indefinitely until one day recently, I noticed some activity in front and realized they re-opened! I was extremely happy and told myself I would not let the opportunity to try it out pass me by. When that day came, as I stood out front looking at the menu, I noticed their website was GreatWall8.com and I took it as an omen because my 2 favorite Chinese take out spots back home in NYC were called "The Great Wall" and the other was "No. 8"! I waited to try this place a few times before writing my review in hopes that it would get better but it did not. I don't care to try more of the menu items because of how disappointed I was. I tried their egg rolls, beef Lo Mein, vegetable Lo Mein, chicken in garlic sauce, & pork fried rice. Everything (minus the Vegetable Lo Mein) was just not good. I can go into detail but I rather not gross-out my readers!

Great Chinese take out fast and friendly service. I love the pork lo mein, and there wings.

We have struggled to find really good Chinese food in central Florida. But Great Wall is fantastic. We had a simple order: Wonton soup, Kung Pao Chicken and Sweet and Sour Chicken. The soup was very flavorful and the wontons were huge and delicious. The Kung Pao was spicy, lots of chicken and not-overdone veggies. My wife enjoyed the S&S chicken. We'll be back.

This is my downtown Sanford's GO-TO take-out Chinese place. I love that they are so fast, the food is delicious and fresh. I have been coming here for years and they are so friendly! -I'm called the 'orange chicken lady' hahaha. It's my favorite dish. As far as ambiance...it's TAKE-OUT. I have had their ribs, soups, egg rolls, won tons, loMeins.. I think the only dish I have not liked is the Singapore Rice Noodle dish. It's quite salty and not spicy [heat-wise]. Keep them on speed dial!

so today we ordered from here and they got the order wrong and also burned our chicken. we had to have someone to go pick it up for us. when called to talk about the issue they lady was super rude and said no refund or even fixing the order with the burnt chicken. it's so bad the smell of the chicken that people walking into the lunch room is complaining over the smell. it wouldn't be so bad but the lady was extremely rude and wouldn't even be okay with bringing just the chicken back to show her and replace it.

Your average Chinese restaurant- served in metal containers, not plastic which is nice. Oily but come on it's cheap Chinese, and for cheap Chinese it's pretty darn good

The food was very tasty. Egg rolls were delicious!! Chicken mei fun, beef and broccoli, vegetable spring rolls
