Great Wall Restaurant — Restaurant in Arbutus

Typical local Chinese takeout place. Mostly same food. However, found a couple standout dishes: Kung Pow Shrimp (pic, covered in peanuts) is actually really good, my new favorite. Shrimp Curry (pic) is delicious and salty. Teriyaki Beef Skewers app was delicious, a surprise win. Chicken Skewers good, but beef better so tender, juicy. House Special Singapore Noodles (pic) usually quite good if you like yellow curry. Notice the two yellow noodle pics are about a year apart (2022 / 2023) and the shrimp in the ladder pic are much smaller and very few in the dish. Is that right Chicken Chop Suey was quite good one time and nasty another time. Tasty and not dried out. Seafood Soup (large only) was pretty good (pic). Would order again to share. General Tso & Sesame Chicken were decent, but like every Chinese restaurant there is two times more breading and syrup than necessary. The meat inside was I think mostly thigh meat. Some nice, good big pieces. Half pound Old Bay shrimp app is small, peel shrimp w some onions and celery. Seem mushy like boiled instead of steamed. Not best quality and small shrimp. PASS. Their Hot & Sour soup (pic) was a bit lackluster and taste, so I added some Sriracha when I got home. Subgum Wonton was pretty good. Lots of veg & shrimp & chicken thrown in the broth with wonton. Baby corns tasted pretty bad tho. Did NOT like: Shrimp in Lobster Sauce, Brocolli in Garlic Sauce, Green...

Tonight I ordered General Tso dinner combo and an order of Teryaki chicken on a stick. I walked in to pick up my food and there was a massive uncovered bowl of unfried breaded chicken(the kind you use for sesame chicken, general tso, etc.) I saw several flies on top of the chicken in the bowl which made my stomach turn because I had ordered chicken and my chicken probably came out of that bowl. There were also uncovered trays of unfried egg rolls right beside the bowl of chicken. I opened up my food once I got home (8 minutes away from the restaurant) and my general Tso chicken was complete mush. My fried rice was a bit mushy as well. The egg roll and Teryaki chicken were edible. The only positive I can say is that my food was hot. Needless to say, I will not be purchasing food from this...

Got delivery from UberEats. FYI they don't partner with Uber so your order will take longer. The driver has to tell them the order and wait for it to cook. Maybe the only bad thing I can say is that the eggrolls were not good. Normally, that would put me off right away; but everything else was on point. The dumplings are huge and taste good. They gave me enough boneless spare ribs to feed 10 people. Shrimp Toast was tasty. The kung-po chicken is a little odd because it's breaded, so since it is sealed in an airtight container, it was a little soggy when it got to me. I could tell it was fresh made, though, and I bet it's bomb when you eat it at the restaurant or soon after its made. The Chinese food in Columbia isn't great, so I recommend this spot if you're in...
