We decided to go to this buffet last night based on some of the more recent reviews. DH suggested China Grand, but I'm not a huge fan of that restaurant.Overall, we agreed that the Great Wall was better quality. The Kung Pao chicken actually had spice. General Tsos was good. The Spicy Chicken was a bit salty for DH's taste. We didn't try the stir fry house or the sushi. Loved the green beans. The fried rolls (egg rolls, etc) and pot stickers weren't to our liking, but that could just be preference.My main beef with the place is that the replenishment of food was not very fast. We got there at 7pm on a Friday night and had just missed a serious rush of people. Turnover may have been faster at that hour. I was able to get green beans, but the pan was not refilled in the 45 min that we were there.The place is clean and open. Very bright and doesn't seem crowded by too many tables in the middle of the floor. Our server was very nice, though a bit flustered. She may have been new.We'll be back!

The Great Wall, Overland, is our favorite place to eat. The food is always dependably tasty. There is a good selection of spicy-hot selections, which makes my husband happy, and there is the tamer selections that I like, also. The egg-flower soup is some of the best in town, those deep-fried shrimp are crispy and delicious and the Sweet & Sour Pork and Chicken are tender and fresh. I always make a stir-fry, also, because they know how to really cook the meats so they are tender in with the fresh vegetables. The Crab Rangoons are seriously the best I've ever had and the Mussels are always a highlight of the meal. My husband loves the green beans, which are crisp & garlicy. The Black Pepper Shrimp is just hot enough for him and of course he likes to top his meal off with a scoop of ice cream. The helpful staff even offered to make me a root-beer float, which I accepted, of course. We'll be going here often and for a long time. Whenever we have people visit from out of town we take them here, and they've never been disappointed.

Me and my family went in and it wasn'ta pretty sight... It looked all seventies with is ugly colors, smelled bad, and just ewww... We looked at the food and all of it was deep-fried fat. We couldn't understand a word the waiter said, so we just left. I don't plan on ever even walking in that place again.?

There aren't many high points of this restaurant, but on the same token, there aren't many low points. It's just a fairly average chinese restaurant. Their menu is large enough for most people to find something they'll like, and the ...?

They have a really good buffet that includes a bar where the customer is able to select their noodles, meats, vegetables and sauces for a cook to then pan fry for you in just a few short minutes. The quality of the food is consistently good. ...?
