Great Wall Chinese — Restaurant in Rock Island

Ordered here for the first time today. Tried a variety of items to get a feel for the menu (and have lunch for tomorrow-LOL).

The house special soup was very good. Vegetables were cooked without losing consistency, and the broth was clean. There was just enough meat to add a contrast.

I also ordered an egg roll and a spring roll for appetizers. Both were deep fried and golden, but not overly greasy. Great flavor!

My wife had the sweet and sour chicken, and she said it was very good (she’s not a huge Chinese food fan), and she would happily order it again.

I had the Singapore Mei Fun, requested extra spicy. The flavor of the meat, along with the extra hot oil I requested (almost not needed), made for an extremely satisfying dinner. Very good!

I also ordered the house special fried rice (most of which will be for lunch tomorrow), and had a sample of it. The flavor was spot-on. Excellent flavor without being overdone.

It was our first time ordering here—so time will tell if the quality changes. At least this time, they did exceptionally well, and enough that it will be the go-to spot for Chinese the next...

Food was hot though not much flavor and my favorite part, which is the crab rangoons, were fried almost open and with a weird wonton. It seems like they have cheapened their ingredients or tried to speed up efficiency to the point of losing a LOT of quality. Maybe I’ll try back in a few months, I hope they go back to previous methods of cooking. He like his human shrimp after adding a lot...

Crab Rangoons were great. But...my Kung Pao Chicken wasn't even spicy and my husband said his General TSO chicken was bland even when he added Habernero hot sauce to it. Now I have to make it for him! Idk why their front of restaurant looks like a storehouse and a person has to order through plexiglass shield almost like a secret club! COVID will be here forever now so...
