Great Wall — Restaurant in Port Saint Joe

We were looking for Chinese on goggle and this place came out. When we first arrive to the place, we thought the place was close. There was no body seating at the tables and we couldn't tell if there was anyone at the counter. One of the doors was locked and other door needed an extra pull to open it.

We placed our order and waited about 30 minutes. I thought that was fast considering that we ordered for 14 people. While waiting, people came in and out to pick up their orders.

For my meal, I had Lo mein noodles, coconut chicken, sweet and sour soup.

My least favorite was the nooodles. They were over cooked and mushy for my taste. I like them chewy and smoky. There was nine of that. The seasoning was good, otherwise wouldn't had ate them.

I thought the chicken coconut was good. The sauce was rich and creamy. A little bit goes a long way. Chicken was crispy with the right ratio of breading and meat. The coconut shaving added another layer of texture when combine with everything else.

In my opinion, the sweet and sour soup was the best. It wasn't eggs or too spicy. Tofu pieces weren't too big or too small and they will hold together. The ratio of ingredients and broth was perfect. The broth was so umami that it will feel like a gentle hung in your mouth.

Wife had Mongolian beef with rice. According her, it was good. The beef had too many onions and a hint of sweetness was missing on her dish.

Wife and I shared crab rangoons and one steam dumplings. The dumpling was very good. Crab rangoons had more cream cheese than crab.

Kids had sesame chicken with rice, lo mein, and honey chicken. Honey chicken was the less favorite for them. It didn't have much taste, it was bland. I think this could be a good option for someone that doesn't eat food with much seasoning. They really enjoyed the sesame chicken. However, they had to settle for rice since there was no lo mein noodles option with that meal. For the kids that really wanted noodles and chicken, we bought lo mein noddles and honey chicken trays. I think if they had sesame chicken trays, it will make their menu more kid friendly.

In conclusion, if you are looking to eat a meal at the comfort of your house or place you staying at, this could be an option. If I have the opportunity to try this place again, I will get the sweet and sour soup with steam dumplings. One thing that I would really wish is that they had sesame chicken...

I don’t like doing this, but it’s absolutely necessary…Last night for dinner we ordered over the phone and picked up our food 15 minutes later. No one was inside dining and my husband noticed they didn’t have their Health Score hung up where we could see it. We had spring rolls (old and dry), fried rice ( old, cold, clumpy, with pink mystery meat and no vegetables) General Tso Chicken (watered down sauce, small dark rubbery pieces of chicken, and was not spicy), Honey Chicken (watered down sauc and my dog wouldn’t even eat it), and Vegetable LoMein with extra broccoli( not fresh, and tasted like it had been cooked a week ago). I was starving but could only eat about 3 bites of it… that’s not including what I spit out. My husband had about 5 more bites than I did, and spent most of the night blowing up our bathroom. It baffles me how little pride or effort went into preparing this food… and the Great Wall is a restaurant that specializes in Asian Cuisine. When I spend money on a fresh hot meal, it should be exactly that. This meal wasn’t even edible. This meal was leftover from the buffet they had setup… anyways… I just can’t believe they actually sell enough food to stay open...

The best food in Port St Joe. Way better than that dump Hungry Pizza place. Came in for dinner on a Sunday evening and there was standing room only. The place was packed - had to wait almost an hour for my table BUT it was worth the wait. The food was perfectly prepared. The restrooms were the cleanest restrooms i have ever been in, and 100% recommend this restaurant if you want some real Chinese cuisine. The lighting is incredibly beautiful in this place with all the different colors of light bulbs mixed in each fixture, and the amazing aroma coming from the kitchen. Way better then that random Panda place on the side of the highway which sucks. Also way better than that Waffle place on the side of the highway, and that random Donald place on the side of the highway. Overall, the vibe is...
