The Great Wall Restaurant

Best food in Halifax and best service from the loveliest people. Can't recommend enough.

Delicious, generous portions, and affordable! Truly some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!

One of the best Chinese foods I've had in a long time. Make sure to visit this restaurant!

Delicious food! The egg rolls were perfectly crispy, the pot stickers were perfect, and I really enjoyed my BBQ pork chow mein. I would absolutely order from here again as it's some lf the best Chinese food I've had in Halifax. Definitely hit the spot!

Good food and service but could use a dessert menu and an updated decor. Their egg rolls are also like I know them, with veg instead of meat paste. Yum!

Nice quiet place in downtown Halifax, decent food, small family run restaurant. Very nice staff, very friendly and attentive
Lovely pleasant evening overall

Food was really good but does not have the "wow" factor, the beef with black bean sauce was really salty, as I mentioned to the waitress. However, our leftovers the next day were delicious, and not salty at all.
Great service, not very busy inside the restaurant, lots of take out orders.
The music was not favourable to us at all. Too loud in a spot like this as well. Dinner music should be soft and low.

Fricken food is amazing. Cheap and fast delivery service. It's my go to place for Chinese. And portions are Def worth the price the only I give them a one star bc I haven't been inside yet. It will always be my go to place!

Stopped by for the lunch special. Delicious. Very fast service with INCREDIBLY good food. Quick, delicious, and inexpensive - what more could you want?

Stopped in for a quick lunch. I was greeted by incredibly lovely faces who quickly got us our food. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The food was phenomenal at an incredibly great price! 10/10 on every account. I can’t wait to come back and try more things!

Great chinese to go to if in NS…food taste good, staff was friendly even with us having kids-they entertained them (always appreciate the welcome) and we kept reordering cause it was that good-they were quick!

Food are good especially the noodles are very delicious! Only give four star because the quantity of the pork and beef are less than we are expected!

Amazing family-run Chinese restaurant! The food was incredibly fresh & the spicy salt, pepper squid was well-coated & crispy. Can’t wait to come back on our next visit to Halifax. Thanks for the amazing dinner!

Guess Great Wall is the best Chinese food i town. The first time I had Great Wall food was in 2003 and after almost 20 years, Great Wall is still the best Chinese food restaurant in Halifax!

First time having food from this restaurant. Absolutely delicious. Looking forward to be able to dine in the next time.

I enjoyed their food in past - until.

Ordered online. Approx $100.00 order. Huge mistake.

Never arrived. They blame delivery service.

Called twice.

Continued to blame delivery - not my fault they say. I assert it's there product and they must assure delivery.

They say in future call us directly.

I say my food is not here now.

Clearly a different set of values. Different understanding of customer service. If you make it, you must ensure delivery. No excuses.

I have no food. They have $100.

A horrible experience.

Avoid at all costs - they just don't care.

This is by far, the best Cantonese Restaurant in Halifax. Friendly, Fast, Thoughtful staffs, great service. We ordered Seafood double hapiness, Young Chow fried rice and Mince Beef and egg drop thick soup (i think this one is like mixture of Congee and Soup). It was tasty and fresh. Gonna come back to try other dishes on the menu.

Waited 3 hours for a pickup on New Years they couldn’t find half the order after the big confusion they found it we order ginger chicken and they put bbq sauce over it the rice was dry and the noodles had no taste they usually have good food but not this time

I have been going to the Great Wall since they were on the Granville side of TD Bank! Still the best Chinese food I have eaten! Thank you for your wonderful food. Say Hi to retired Patrick and Ling.

The lady on the front counter is very rude.
Believe me just because of her behavior I chose not to ear in this restaurant. Pathetic.

Good quality North American style Chinese food. The restaurant was kept clean, the service was fast and friendly. The price point was super reasonable. The location is great if you're downtown! I have visited a few times, and have always left feeling full, and satisfied

I am a Toronto-based actor, in Halifax shooting a TV show and like everyone else, undergoing quarantine in a hotel as soon as I arrived. I ordered dinner in every night and decided to give Great Wall a try, even after a disappointing experience with another Chinese restaurant days before. Nothing fancy – shrimp lo mein and young chow fried rice (rice was following day's dinner), in order to spend over $30 for free delivery. I was more than impressed by the quality of the food, and the huge portion. The egg noodles were fried perfectly, tasty and not mushy, and the shrimps were reasonably big (12 of them!) and tasted fresh. Fried rice was good, though not as “out of the ball park” as lo mein, needed a touch more soy sauce. All in all, impressive!

Always prompt and polite service, usually earlier than estimated delivery time and the quality is great. Our go to spot everytime

We had a lovely time at the Great Wall Restaurant. It started off a bit slow because the staff were run of their feet with orders for pickup. Well done Nova Scotia, keeping our restaurants going and staying safe. Once we did get the food it was absolutely delish. The staff were very nice and apologetic (recognizing that they were rushed). So. Brilliant service in that respect. Thank you Great Wall! You started my New Year off in Absolute style. Thank you! (just a note, we had take away, and didn't have our containers-not sure we can use them? , so we took yours - please rethink the plastic - I'm researching alternative options - so stay tuned) #blueearthcollective Again. Thank you for the lovely evening.

I have to say the food here was pretty good but the waiter was very odd and was kinda all over the map I asked if I could have an add on to the combination plate that I wanted to order and he couldn't seem to give me an answer so he went to the kitchen staff and asked them if I could have an add on to my order he should know weather or not if I can have an add on its a basic question and something that he should know

Taste is very poor compared to the price. No seasonings. Quantity very less compared to the price. Never try their chow mein, it’s like water and noodles with veggies. I’ve had bad Chinese food, but never had gross Chinese food like this. Waste of money.

Ordered pick up and asked for pick up protocols before stopping in to pick up my order. The guy that greeted me wasn't wearing a mask. He went into the kitchen and came back out to tell me my order wasn't ready and still, wasn't wearing a mask. He came back out of the kitchen with my order about 5 minutes later and yet again wasn't wearing a mask. In the middle of a second wave! Shame. Will NEVER go back

Don't go here. The place is dirty and the water had debris floating in it. The food was disgusting, either too salty or no flavor

Service were terrible! Came here for dim sum with my friends and they forgotten my fried shrimps. I had to asked for it after waiting for 30 minutes. The food was okay, not as delicious compare to Fan’s (best place to get dim sum). When we were about to pay the bill, we wanted to spilt the bill, but the cashier /waitress gave us an attitude. Never again I will go here.

Food was terrible not even close to being worth what I spent very sad hard to find good food nobody seems to give a s.anymore

If your downtown Halifax looking for a Chinese restaurant this is the place. Great food and service. Priced very well.

I went here this Sunday and I tried dumpling menu. I love the dumplings and the noodles. If they add vegetable menu, I will visit more often.

Won-Ton soup was good. Chicken Lo Mein: greasy, not tasty. Expensive delivery fee. Fell sick a few hours after eating it.

The only saving grace is their food is actually really good, I just never got to eat it.
Ordered on the phone for delivery. The employee somehow misinterpreted my order request. So, when my order arrived, I found they mistakenly prepared 5 orders of an item I only wanted one of. I apologized for any miscommunication but I refused to pay for 4 of the 5 orders that pushed what should have been a $40 receipt into $100 territory. I was willing to pay for my original order but the delivery guy, and eventually the employee on the phone again, had the audacity to argue and try to force me to pay the entire receipt to cover the cost of THEIR mistake at MY doorstep. They were unwilling to negotiate a partial payment so I declined the order altogether. Very rude treatment, clearly money mattered more than customer satisfaction at the time.

Place smells moldy and musty, stains on seats and ceiling tiles.bathroom was disgusting.more water in the soap dispenser then actual soap. Waitress was ignorant. Food was alright, had trouble keeping the food down just the thought of everything else. Should have turned around and left. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Poor food quality. Will never order from here again. S&S chicken balls are covered in VH Cherry Sauce. Fried rice was terrible.

The service was great. The place was clean. However, the food was very bland, not bad just not very tasteful.
Taste is really subjective so take this review, if you will, with the proverbial grain of salt.
Give this place a chance maybe it's just me. You won't be disappointed by the amount of food.

Amazing food, great service and very affordable. Probably the best Chinese restaurant I have ever been to!

As always. Amazing comfort foods at a reasonable price. Prompt and friendly service. The ginger beef is something that defines this place. Hot and sweet and delicious.

The food was very good, the ginger beef I have had was some of the best I have ever had. The lunch combos are a great deal. If you are downtown and in need of good Chinese food, you can not go wrong.

Take out, just so much, meal for 2 would easily feed 3 or 4, nicely cooked, vegetables perfect. Would go there again but we leave Halifax tomorrow

Overall the food was decent quality, price, and tasted good, as an American, it wasn't that specific Chinese takeout feel I was shooting for. I would eat there again, but don't expect the same taste as that standard Americanized Chinese takeout. Definitely a lot lighter and probably more towards a Panda Express approach type oriental food.

Best in Halifax. Worth the drive downtown to get takeout. If you have never been what are you waiting for? Voted BEST in the city for almost 20 years.

Old is gold. One of the oldest places, good for lunch or dinner, service is great, good is not too bad. Their Mongolian beef & mapo tofu rocks.

Great food. Family ate and no one was displeased. Service was fantastic. Very affordable pricing as well.

Affordable place to eat. Nothing that stands out really, but get some fast cheap Chinese eats. Went there and it was a fast exchange with staff. Felt a little rushed and they were a bit curt

The service was most disappointing. We received food that we had not ordered and did not receive three items that we had ordered. Dim sum arrived cold as did our tea which we asked for three times. We waited over 25 minutes between dishes which were coming to us one at a time. Sticky rice arrived at the end of our meal.
We will not be returning.

Nothing fancy, consistent. I do wish the sweet and sour chicken consisted of larger chicken balls before the change in ownership.

Best chicken balls in all of HRM! The chicken and better stays together while you eat it and size is big.
