Couldn't experience the food or service... was highly disappointed that the buffet starts from 3:30pm/4pm, but it the timing is not stated anywhere online. They still serve other dishes during the day, but the buffet is more like a dinner thing. The atmosphere is, however, so calm and gentle... loved the feel!.
Picked up an order ordered the war wonton soup they had one shrimp and it had no flavour then tried the ginger beef. The beef was so full of gristle and all the owner could say it was that’s how beef is nowadays very poor experience never again when I go there.
The food was very good. I was happy to see some real Asian type folk around cooking the food. Good small town buffet way better than China cup.
Just ordered the family dinner (5A) and everything was great. Almost. The spring rolls smelled horrid and literally tasted like an ashtray. I couldn't even keep it on my plate it smelled so bad. Everything else was flavorful and nice and hot when it arrived....in a frozen shrimp packing box, lol. Thx for the laugh Great Wall, we got a kick out of that, lol!! Side note: the guy who took our order needs some customer service training. He was very bland and sounded like he just woke up and could care less.
Went for lunch here today. The food was good, and the portion size was excellent. Our server was attentive to our needs, even turning up the heat when the restaurant was chilly. My only complaints are the restaurant carpet was old and one of our cups was a bit dirty on the outside. Other than that, everything was good.
Food used to be not too bad and reasonable, but now everything is expensive, and corners are being cut in some dishes to save money. Almond gai ding poor, big chunks of celery & carrot and very little chicken or almond, sauce flavorless and watery. I worked in a chinese restaurant for 5 1/2 years and know when quality dishes are being put out. IT seems to be indusrty wide. I think a combo of not having skilled chefs and also compromise on quality to save money...very disappointing only one or two decent Chinese food places left in Prince George. If I want quality Chinese food the its a trip to Vancouver where competition has kept most restaurants at the top of their game. I made a couple of attempts at coming back to see if things had changed as they were close and handy to where I work. The food experience was marginally better, so I bumped up to 3 stars for the food. I'm alway eager to hear what others have to say about their restaurant experiences as once I have had a few bad experiences at a restaurant I often do not return for a long time if ever, unless someone gives me a report that the restaurant has improved or new owners and managent have taken over then I will give it another try, sometimes to my delight or sometimes to my continued disappointment. I have picked an order up and then gone for buffet, the food experience was better than before so adjusted the rating accordingly. It's about 27.00 or 28.00 plus tax for an adult buffet pricy unless you can eat like a horse but then again that seems to be the going rate for buffet wherever you go in Prince George. I can not eat crazy portions anymore, I leave that for the younger growing teens and men that will get their value out of a buffets. For me ordering a combo to take home and then getting two meals out of it is better value for me and then can order more often and don't have any dishes to clean.😊👍🥡🥠
We haven't been here in a while, but it was hopping! We're in town for hockey, and majority ruled that we get takeout 🥡 after a long drive instead of checking out the buffet. The Family Dinner for 4b fed 4 adults and one hungry little hockey player with some leftovers for later. Everything had plenty of flavour and the quality of all the dishes was on point. Even though we ordered at the height of dinner rush on a Friday, we got our food in about 20 minutes, served by friendly and accommodating staff. I also got a couple spring rolls - nearly got the 5a for the spring rolls, but the 4b has a better variety of dishes, and I was the only one that wanted the rolls. Overall, a fantastic dinner for the price point (65.20 for the 4b after discount, plus 4.10 for the rolls). I would recommend asking for extra plum sauce or a side of sweet n sour for the Prawns. Thank you, Great wall!
We just had the buffet here and the selection was so huge. There was lots of good choices the food was hot and they were bringing it more fresh portions. There was sushi and salads there was won ton soup. A good choice of Chinese and Western dishes. They had tiramisu Nanaimo bars carrot cake and ice cream plus more !!! The staff was super nice and cheerful they give you little plastic gloves to wear at the buffet with your mask there's hand sanitizer on the wall and everything was really clean like the tables. We were never eating the buffet here before but it was a good deal so we thought we would try it. We normally get take out and it is always really good. There is wheelchair accessible parking Wide Doors and walkways and the buffet is good for all accessibility levels. There is all kinds of seating and big sections dividers between everything. Thank you
It was a lovely place to dine with family and friends
The chicken in my chow mein was undercooked. I hope I don t get sick from what I did eat. Was scared to eat the rest of my food. paid decent $ with delivery. I rather have overcooked than undercooked. Sad.
Was good.. we went at 430 buffet food tasted fresh.... better then china cup...
The worst buffet I ever had. No service, pay in advance, this is ridiculous. Only had one kind mushy wanton soup, nothing taste good and very few dishes you can choose, I guess it s location. They can t survive elsewhere
Food was decent but floor and ceiling were quite dingy.
Worst Fried rice ever had. Not recommend
decent food. Dinner smorg only.
Bathroom stalls, have no locks ? Cant even use a restroom. Food was good, but the fact that you can t keep tue stall door closed and locked is ridiculous.
Honestly! The worst chinese food I ever had.
Awesome place nice people good service
As a new customer the service was exceptional and the food was Amazing, fresh and very Delicious. Highly Recommend.
Great restaurant, great food, service is really good but there is always room for improvement in any company.
I cant resist ordering their wonton soup every time I visit because its simply delicious and warms you right up. With such friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere, dining here feels like visiting family.
Good food . Hate your doorbell every 2 seconds
Not to bad at all.
its decent. vast varity of choices in there smorg including basic sushi, beef roast and ham were also amongst the choices. the only downfall was the salad bar...no cottage cheese, only 2 salad dressing choices and very little mix salads meaning; potato, pasta etc..clean and always full trays of fresh food always being added. staff is great too. Parking: lots of parking all along the front and side. also lots of extra parking all around this restraunt.
Youve gotta try their chicken chow mein because its seriously flavorful and loaded with tender chicken and crispy veggies. The vibe there is always cozy, and the crew is super friendly, making it a perfect spot for a satisfying meal.
Brilliant and spectacular services Food is soo good. This is where you want to be too eat out 4 sure Food : 5/5
Food was good
Their chow mein is a must-try, with a perfect blend of flavors and textures that keep me coming back for more, and the sushi is simply outstanding. The ambiance is relaxed and charming, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive.
This restaurant is great the food was so good the service was nice 10/10 recommend coming here again!
Buffet style anything is good for us...
The food is amazing I could recommend eating here
Great selection of food.
Delicious take out.
Fantastic as always.
We do 1 meal month that we dont count our intake calories .We definitely don t regret the stop for dinner at Greatwall no reservation , no real waiting Friday7pm still very complete display plenty full food and replenishment were spontaneous , prompt table services well executed none invasive
Buffet was great
My husband and I went here for the dinner buffet. Even though this place was super busy, we were seated quickly. We could hear the door chime and phone going non-stop. All the food was fresh too! The workers were constantly refreshing the food and packing to-go orders. This is the best Chinese place in town.
Very very pleased
Went their for my fathers birthday dinner he wanted Chinese food and what we got was dry stale noodles/dinner food looked like it was nuked from microwave the fountain drinks were practically carbon dioxide and water mixed tasted horrible! Had one sip and was done! Only thing that was decent was they gave proper plastic straws!. 0/10 i do not recommend coming here ever again.
We love variety foods.
Food isnt hot. Taste old...sushi was really fish tasting.
Friendly service and decent prices. Pretty good but not the best.
Eat in is gd . Delivery was dry and took over an hr . Tipped delivery driver though. Poor guy was working all alone . I understand his role so I shoved a 10 in his pocket
The smorgasbord is always delicious and fresh. It s the best. And so are the owners.
First time eating there. My family ate at great wall. Was grwated right away. Prices are decent for all you can eat. The staff working the dining and buffet area were friendly and always asked if everything was good
5 stars no doubt , very tasty, and great service, Also beautiful fish at the front . Come check it out. Food
Food was fresh and hot, great selection at the buffet, great place for the whole family! Layout makes it a little tough to navigate when it s busy, but not a huge problem
Every time I go to Prince George I make sure I stop in for a meal. The Great Wall has great food and the best value for your Money. Food
Food was delicious..Huge din er buffet
Wouldnt let us order even gave 3 different excuse when we gave them solutions
I feel like they can do better. The noodles tasted like sand was poured on it, pork too dry and strong. Ribs even worse, I couldn t even eat the noodles and prawn, and I paid for buffet. The wonton wasn t bad but too oily. Parking: Parking was okay
By far best buffet in town!
It was a little busy but it was New Years eve. The buffet was well stocked and tasty.
Always such a great experience here, great customer service, friendly staff, delicious food and clean well maintained environment, this is our spot lol.
Ordered dinner on Friday with the help of the great wall website, it worked awesome! Didnt have to call, just picked items and clicked I wanted it as soon as possible instead of requesting a specific time. It gave me a time to pick up and it was ready when we stopped in. Great food and definitely be back.
Best buffet in town and really nice people.
Food was Okay, Selection was kind of mediocre. Prices are steep. 90$ for 3 people buffet. Atmosphere is friendly and bright. Service is friendly. They have some weird hello , welcome automated robot voice that is right by the seating area.. and it was extremely annoying to hear it go off every 10 seconds, it sounded like it was broken, Defiantly should get rid of this as it is clearly pointless. Parking: Tons of parking and seating.
Great smorgasbord (they now require payment up front, which I like) and have great events
First time at this restaurant, the food was good, and the portion size was large for the price. Would go back for the buffet to give it a try as it seemed that they had a ton of options.
As with any buffet you have good days and bad days. But we go there all the time now and the food its great for the price. $24.99 for all-you-can-eat and pop, coffee and tea included. They are clean and super polite. You cant go anywhere in Prince George and get all that plus dessert for that price. Lots of choice... love going!!
Food nice and a hot. Waitresse real nice.
great buffet options!
Not good at all had prawns that where shrimp 90% batter 10%shrimp sweeter pork was 80%fat
For the price it was well worth it. Food is hit-and-miss but the selection is enormous. Service was very friendly and attentive.
Awful food felt Ill after I was done eating
Food tastes great. Also had food poisoning twice from The Great Wall. The first time, I didnt think the food here was the cause, but, when I got sick again the night I came for dinner here, I confirmed that it was the food that made me sick. Update: March 2023 Went to The Great Wall with my sister and husband. Avoided getting ice in my drinks as after a recent discovery, Ice has been a culprit of causing illnesses. Please look it up if you dont believe me. The food tasted great! I had no issues with getting sick, but I also avoided the fish and sushi this round.
Vegetarian options: They have salad Food
Friendly, efficient service...variety of food ...displayed in an appetizing way....great way to fill that empty gap in ones innards!
Took my Grandsons for dinner. A couple of them are Football players, they ate well. We are pleased. Vegetarian options: Lots of choices.
Food was fresh and very good, as usual.
I ordered the chicken chow mein combo with sweet and sour pork and a spring roll. Where do I start... The sweet and sour pork was the saving grace of this meal, since the noodles and chicken from the chicken chow mein were basically boiled to over cooked-ness and not even seasoned or sauced. The noodles were awfully bland, stir in your sweet and sour sauce and you at least have some hint of flavor. Spring roll was greasy, the little bag it came in was saturated.
The only thing good was the fact that the driver was friendly and polite. The food was worse Than Food Court, Chinese food five minutes before the mall closes. Absolutely disgusting prawns were over cooked and tiny. Sweet and sour pork was more like soup than sweet and sour pork. Eggroll locked like a Twinkie shaped chicken ball sopping with grease. I ate half of a small bowl of the food and threw the rest in the garbage. Complete waste of $40. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.
Good was amazing they also had sushi which was delicious. Ps the aquarium at the front looks way to small for an arrowana and the other smaller fish in the tank is very sick, the tank might be fine was unsure but please help the small fish haha Other than that was amazing and there was a young staff member she seemed new or shy but she was friendly and very nice
I really like the take out here but the 2 times I ate in the restaurant I was not really impressed with the food. The srevice is always good though.
We went for the evening buffet, it was average food good selection but when there are lots of selections some choices arent as good as others. Overall it was ok
It wasnt too bad. The beef and Broccoli had a fishy taste, found things a bit dry and not too much flavor but its not the worst Ive eaten, Id eat here again...
When we come in from outta town,her service is nice and talks politely, friendly atmosphere, hospitality is nice to see.foods good and was fresh.
Entire meal ruined by the non stop door chime screaming out HELLO WELCOME every few second.
Very relaxing and enjoyable food
Buffet was great. The ice cream was unedible and pretty sure the machine needs an actual cleaning. Kid-friendliness: My son loved it
The best Chinese food in town. A great buffet as well.
very good
Food is good
We went their 15 Mins before closing but the lady welcomed us anyways she was the only one working but she was amazing Best server ever
Honestly some of the best Chinese food Ive had in recent memory. Staying at the hotel next door and just walked across the street not expecting great quality food but was pleasantly surprised. Got the 2b and it was good price and lots of food. And very fresh! We had to take out as they only have buffet right now which was fine for us.
Ordered take out for a few people they sent 1 fork, 2soya, 2 plum sauce. Ribs were solid bone, greasy , asked for for chop seuy they chicken n vegs. Pitiful
My favorite place to order for take out. Great food
First visit in several years. Food tasted fine. Portion size was good for price.
Love it
Great food and great service, much tastier food comparing to other Chinese buffets...
everything was old, the sweet and sour and the honey garlic pork were sickly sweet. I felt sick just eating it, for such low quality food the price is crazy $25 for 1 person to eat not a satisfying meal everything looked so unappealing.
Great service and not greasy food!!
Best wonton soup
They were invaded by our LARGE family group, they handled it. It was a bit chilly in the part of the restaurant we were seated in, too dark to enjoy any views if that was the intention. The air blowing from the vents caused my buffet chosen food to cool off too quick. Food
Ordered takeout, possibly the worst Chinese food Ive ever had
Not the greatest premises, staff were awesome, food was really good except chow mein.
Its a coin toss on if youre going to get good food or amazing life changing food here really depends on the day you go...
The food wasnt too bad actually and lots of variety but the whole place is filthy. There are carpets everywhere that are stained and even in the entry way. I almost walked out to be honest.
Huge smorgasbord featuring Chinese, Japanese, & Western food. Yum!
Out of the two Chinese buffets in Prince George this is hands down the Best of the two. They however dont have a lunch Buffet since COVID. Prices are reasonable for smorg, staff are always friendly, service is great, food quality is good and delicious. Selection of items is great. Its my go to when Im in town. Vegetarian options: They have salad Parking: Can be difficult when its busy but they share a parking lot with a motel as well as there is parking across the road. Kid-friendliness: Its a family restaurant. What more can you say... Wheelchair accessibility: Theres a ramp but not automatic doors.
The food we had was a disappointment Won tons full of gristle the chow mein a glob seeet and sour tasted like old leftovers We were both sick last night I barely made it to the restroom at the restaurant. We left I was so embarrassed.
First time here and it was great
Amazing service Kid-friendliness: A lot of family busines Food : 4/5 |
Very friendly with a large selection of food that I found to be very good.
Absolutely awful
I was eating Chinese food.its the best.
I ordered a hot and sour soup and wonton soup. The wonton soup tasted bland and there were many disgusting meats in it and the wontons were severely overcooked. The hot and sour soup had the consistency of barely set jello. Very gross.
Disgusting food... chop suey was almost all celery and tasteless.. ginger beef was soggy and couldnt tell what meat it was really..overall everything tasted old.
Worst place to order from. Ordered online with a delivery time of just after 5pm order showed up at 6pm. NO WHERE ON THEIR SITE DOES IT SAY THERE IS A DELIVERY FEE! Placed the order and recieved an emailed receipt for 61 dollars when the driver showed up charged a 7 dollar delivery fee. Complete and total BS. Will file a complaint with the BBB as well.
Food Is So So Amazingly Yummy And Would Recommend This Place For Supper Any Time And Staff Is Amazing
Really good. Have eaten at other local restaurants. This is the best.
Very nice food
Awesome food, great friendly service.
Great Canadian Chinese food. Yum!
Great service and the food was amazing
I so enjoyed the flavours of the Chinese dishes that I and my friend shared while shopping in Prince George! The meal was perfect! The staff were so nice, as always, and the prices are average for a Chinese restaurant.
Awful food. The chicken Chow Mein is literally plain noodles and chicken. No flavor at all.
I am 6 months pregnant and decided I wanted Chinese food. I ordered only to receive overcooked almond chicken with no chicken inside and so hard it hurt my mouth I couldn t eat it. The chow mein was cold and flavourless. The spring rolls flat with no stuffing inside and over cooked. And best of all my chicken chop suey had RAW CHICKEN IN IT!!!!! EWE! So dangerous for my baby!!!!! Don t recommend and won t ever be going back.
I will never comeback ever to this place, staff here are rude poor service.. thy humiliate customers and embarrassed them in front of all the customers for mis understanding they assumed things before they ask for it.. needs to educate thier staff how to give a good customer service.
Yummy food!
Awesome fresh food and they are so friendly
Excellent service and the good is scrumptious! Their buffet is huge. Definately the best Chinese food in town
Nice buffet with a good selection. Very good food if you order off the menu as well. One of our go to spots for Chinese food.
Usually a decent place to eat. Rated only 2 as I got violently ill after the last time I ate there. Hesitant to go back again..
One of best Chinese restaurants to feast from some days are hit n miss but overall very tasty
Good
Great people, great food. New renos are really nice
Could get better from a box for cheaper
Best Chinese food in town....good value and service.... reasonable prices...
Terrible ginger beef..
Food was good and buffet was full staff was friendly
Great place for all you can eat
Went there with a group of friends for the buffet and it was all very good. The sushi was legit, all the food was fresh and stocked at the buffet. Will be returning for sure!
Big selection of buffet food
Wide variety of foods, including some things Ive never tried before. Lots of options for Chinese foods, sushi, western, and desserts. The restaurant has been renovated and looks fantastic.
Little pricey but given the hike in cost for everything its not unreasonable. Great selection of food for buffet and friendly staff.
Quite the letdown from what the food was in the past .
Very good food
Good food
The best smorgasbord in town. Quality of the meat is great, Ive been to others around town and you will not be disappointed.
Roaches in the chowmein
Parking: Could use more parking spots for busy nights. Handicap parking is good and the lot is kept clean
Hit and misd Parking: Ample parking
Its ok
We really like this place. Amazing selection
Great food and service
Fresh,awesome chowmein and friendly staff
Was surprised. The food was very good. Hit and miss on a couple of items but overall I would recommend. Vegetarian options: Lots of choices. Parking: Ample parking
I thought the food was great. The price is good and the staff were very accommodating. We went for the buffet. Great selection. Will probably go again.
Good place to dine
Definitely not ordering from here again, nor will I choose to eat here. A month ago, I decided to treat my family to take out. The food was an hour and a half late. They had called my phone and I had to call back, they needed my address, despite me giving it to them during my order. Despite this, I tipped well, thinking that the lady who took my call got my address wrong and that it would be blamed on the delivery driver, as he seemed stressed. I 100% regret tipping well, since he then had to turn around and get my 2 liter, that he forgot to bring with him. The food was luke warm, we had to heat it up. Since I believe in second chances, I ordered from here again tonight. Gave them my address during the order and this time, kept my phone on me. Low and behold, they asked me for my address again an HOUR after I had ordered my food. Keep in mind, they told me it would be 46 minutes. I took the food out from my bag and one of the containers had leaked onto the other boxes and got oil everywhere. Absolutely done with this. If you cant handle something as simple as delivery, then dont do delivery.
First time there... really enjoyed the buffet
Its been awhile since going to the Great Wall due to Covid and personal issues but was pleasantly surprised when going for dinner last night. Beautiful renovations were done. The service was fantastic as usual and the dinner buffet was absolutely fantastic. Im certainly going back again very soon. Great job Great wall.
Pretty respectable buffet options. I thought the meats should have been cut a bit more bite-size, but tasty.
This is without a doubt, The Very!, Very!, Best Chinese Restaurant in Central B.C. That I ever had the Prevaldge to eat at and Home Delivery is the quickest in town. The Freshest, always on top of things that we want from a cook , and Staff. So! Take my Advice and make it yours to enjoy. Thx. GWR. Vegetarian options: The most vegie dishes in town Dietary restrictions: Very healthy menu for all Kid-friendliness: Very well astabillished for the kidds
First time there. Will be my only place to go for Chinese food. Had their buffet. Unbelievable so much to choose from ,all fresh and hot. Bottomless soft drinks and coffee. And over a dozen different types of sushi. And a desert bar. If you like excellent Chinese food. Gotta check this restaurant out.
Food was great.
We have been going here for 5yrs... great Sakai
Great place to eat with your love ones.
Awesome food no matter what you pick to eat there its all good
Best buffet and wonton soup in town
Got a combo and the dry ribs was all I had because it was packaged separately, the vegetables chop suey and the sweet and sour sauce were EVERYWHERE not even packaged right, literally just looked like a child put everything in and ran with it. They need to better package their food. Don t get a delivery from skip on here either lol.
The food here is somewhat mediocre. I find the variety of food options leave something to be desired. Quite often the food has been warm at best and doesnt taste overly fresh. Its a nice looking restaurant with great potential if they can work on their menu and food quality.
Enjoyed a delicious supper; buffet was kept nicely stocked with a variety of food and the staff were warm and pleasant. A very enjoyable meal, thank you!
Nice changes and helpful staff. Food wasp good.
I was hoping for more varieties in buffet for $19.99
No toilet paper in the bathroom
Good food and service with a smile. Good variety of food and desserts.
By far the worst Chinese food in town. Sushi tasteless, honey garlic chicken look days old and sticky(I didn t finish what I took) nothing here I liked! The other Chinese buffet is far better.
Good food, open to altering my order, polite delivery person. Overall great meal
Been wasting years other places, tried tonight, great price to pick up. Being able to order online gave no hassle and when we needed a correction staff was very accommodating. Would recommend to anyone wanting Great Western-style Chinese food.
all good great selections
Wasnt to bad - friendly staff Busy place
Great service! Awesome smorgasbord!
Friendly honest awesome wonderful beautiful kind people and the food is wonderful awesome
New cook new owner was real good and fresh update to the building
Loved it clean good food
Had the combo number 2 as takeout. Food was good and fresh. They forgot to throw in a fork, however thats my own fault for not leaving a tip!
Best buffet in town!
The people who own this are amazing as are the employees they choose to hire. Never had a bad experience here!
Liked the decor and buffet
Food was delivered hot and on time.
WARNING: Do not trust the reviews on SKIP the dishes..... If I could give zero stars I would. WORST CHINESE FOOD EVER. It is very clear after today, that the people who work in the kitchen of this restaurant do not even eat their own food. Dry Spare ribs were deep fried, swimming in a tasteless syrup of sugar and honey? Order was incorrect and I received sweet and sour pork instead of beef and broccoli. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Order from China Taste. There is a reason their wait time for a delivery is twice as long...Dont make my mistake.
