I moved here from the NYC area and have been going to the Great Wall for my Chinese food for almost 3 years now. I tried others. Great Wall was the best I could find. BUT something has definitely changed! The last few times have been very disappointing and yesterday was no better. I always place the same order... House Mei Fun, fried chicken wings and wonton soup. The wings were hard and not freshly cooked, they had no flavor and I think they needed to change the oil. My House Mei Fun and soup were also flavorless except for a ton of salt! I wasn't please with my food a month ago when I ordered. The Mei Fun was so salty that it made my head hurt to try to eat it. But yesterday I was willing to give them another chance.

Read moreI don’t have problems with the food, the food is pretty mediocre for a Chinese place in my opinion. The problem I have is more so with the staff.
