We haven't been to Great Wall Chinese Restaurant since they moved to their new location but decided to have lunch there today since we have family members visiting us from the mainland and they all love Chinese food. The new restaurant is really several steps up from the old location that was located right across the street. The new restaurant is clean, bright, well lit, nicely decorated, comfortable, has lots of seating, a clean restroom, and two ways in and out for safety and convenience. There is a parking lot in the rear with about 10 stalls by my estimate.

The menu is very diverse and they serve a wide variety of foods. We ordered Egg Drop Soup, half a roasted duck, Kau Yuk, Crispy Gau Gee Mein, Pork Ong Choy Garlic (Please excuse the incorrect spelling in the photo), Mongolian Beef which you can get mild or spicy, rice, and hot tea. The food was plenty enough for 5 adults and we still had leftovers to take home.

Our two waitresses were Flo and Fay. Flo is new there and is beautiful young lady with a pleasant personality and sweet smile. We like her very much. Fay is an old timer and was full of smiles as always. Both ladies served us quickly, efficiently, and pleasantly. We are always happy when our waitress is pleasant because nobody enjoys eating food when served by a grouchy person.

The food we ordered today was really delicious and cooked perfectly. The roast duck was crispy but not burned and well seasoned. I normally don't like to order duck because the skin is sometimes still soft and fatty. The crispy gau gee mein was seasoned just right and the noodles were perfect. Not too hard and not too soft. The vegetables were still a bit crunchy which is how they are supposed to be. The Mongolian beef was mild which is what we ordered but it still had some heat along with the slightly sweet sauce. Fay said Mongolian Beef is one of their most popular dishes.

The egg drop soup was very tasty and our visiting family members commented on the veggies inside the soup which was a welcome surprise. Apparently the egg drop soup in Tennessee only has egg in it and nothing else.

The kau yuk was tender and tasty according to my husband and sister-in-law. I don't eat kau yuk because it tends to be too fatty for my taste so I'll defer to their opinion which was very high.

The pork with garlic and unchoy was also perfectly seasoned and cooked. There were no leftovers of that dish or the egg drop soup and everyone was full after eating all that food and sharing two pots of hot tea.

We were all so pleased with our dining experience today and recommend you give Great Wall Chinese Restaurant a try when you have a craving for Chinese food.

We were lucky to arrive just at 12:30 p.m. and there was just one full table at the time with 4 diners so the timing was really good for us. More people arrived after us but we got all our food within 20 minutes after ordering. And since we have leftovers we can eat all that good food again tonight! Doing a happy dance. Woo hoo!

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Aside from the high prices for small portion sizes we really enjoyed our meals here.

It is probably the only Chinese food place in Wahiawa. Food is just ok. Not worth the price. Good for casual dining. Hot and sour soup is pretty decent. Kung Pao Chicken is not presentable at all, probably because it’s missing red and green peppers. Mongolian beef has too much oil and corn starch. Fried rice in general is very dry and hardly any oil.
