Great Wall — Restaurant in Rogers Park Township

So, full disclosure, I’m a lo mein fiend who grew up in Ohio. I am constantly on the hunt for those thick, chewy lo mein noodles (as opposed to the thin, angel hair feeling ones that I can’t get into). I live in Roger’s Park and my go to place is closed on Monday. So I was on the hunt. Stopped by Great Wall, ordered pork lo mein and wonton soup. Cashier was a doll, very polite, came back with my missing chop sticks with a smile. Get home, start to dig in. Soup was ok. Not awful, nowhere near the best. Wontons were a little heavy and there was waaaay too much sesame oil in the soup. I open the pork lo mein, immediately smacked in the nose by a super strong vinegar smell. It almost smelled like cole slaw. Left this reviewer very confused, but the smell dissipated pretty quickly. Couldn’t tell you who the culprit was. I see the noodles, nice thick and bouncy egg noodles, as expected. I take a bite, something is very wrong. The texture is off. feels like I’m eating a salad. Don’t get me wrong. I like vegetables in my lo mein. Carrots? Necessary. Celery, cabbage, spring onion? Of course! Bean sprouts? Sure. Tiny flakes of shredded lettuce? Now I don’t know what we’re talking about anymore. The lettuce shreds were everywhere and I couldn’t experience that silky bite of noodle and pork that I was craving. It was also very wet. Like, pools of brown liquid wet. Did I eat all of it? You bet I did. I paid for all of it didn’t I ( two more dollars and half the portion of my go to, btw). Will I be going back anytime soon? That’s a...

I love Chinese food so whenever I get a chance I stop by any Chinese restaurant on my way which happened to be this place on that day and my quick choice was beef fried rice. I sat outside waiting for the food and the cashier delivered the food to my table so I said thank you but without a reply he turned back inside. I started eating but I tasted a very weird flavor that I could not distinguish at first and usually I am super good at distinguishing flavors. The flavor was so overwhelming that I could not eat no more but it boggled my mind till I figured out that the chef has used old previously used oil from the deep fryer and he fried my Food in it. I have never had a heartburn in my life till that day and I am still suffering from it. It had to be extremely used oil for it to do that and the reason I could not distinguish the flavor at first was because he had fried so many different things in that deep fryer for anyone to distinguish the flavor. Very bad choice I made on that day and it’s a shame that any restaurant would think of...

Very bad custumers service rude i came to eat on a nice summer night my husband and i were sitting on the patio. 10 minutes before they close we got our food and they the people at the restaurant noticed us eating on the patio but not once did they told us they were gonna close instead they ignored the fact that they were gonna close the gates and we had to leave. Soon after we started eating about 5 minutes here comes a guy and tells us hey you have to leave mind you we are in the middle of eating he say we close you have to leave 😡. At this point im like dude you could have said please order to go we are closing soon but they dont care. They littery kick us out of the place before we can finish our meal. All i could say was how would you feel if someone told you to leave while you are eating...rude service if you have to close inform the customer so they dont have to walk out before they are done eating, luckly it wont happen again atleast not to me cuz i ain't going back....the reason i gave them 2 stars the food was ok nothing to...
