I love this place!!! My family and I have been going here since they opened and we have built a relationship with the sweet family that owns and runs the store. While I haven't been back in a couple of years because I've been in Texas, I can't wait to make this my #1 takeout destination again. Food is always in large portions and I have always been satisfied with the quality. It is exactly what Americanized Chinese food should taste like but fair warning, this place is addicting

Worst Chinese food I think we've ever had. We just moved to this area and thought we would try this place out. The general tsos was very sweet no spice whatsoever. Everything else was very bland, the shrimp fried rice had no flavor and same with the lo mein. The lo mein looked like spaghetti noodles with a thin butter sauce. The crab rangoons were okay.

Did you know there are like... six Great Wall Chinese restaurants in OKC (and its surrounding areas)? All of the following zip codes have a Great Wall: 73116, 73142, 73139, 73003, 73013, and 73099. That's a lot of Great Walls. Enough to where maybe we could combine them to create the greatest, most bigliest wall there is.
But anyway, I'm talking about the 73099 Great Wall (GW 73099), and how do I begin to describe...
Okay, let's say there's a numeric rating scale from 1 to 10, where...
1 = Chinese food
5 or 6 = American-Chinese food
10 = American food
Great Wall 73099 would be sitting at like an 8. It's the most American, American-Chinese food I have ever eaten. If GW 73099 was any more American in its approach to flavor/spice/seasoning/etc., it would call itself Subway and offer me a oven roasted turkey on white bread.
I have never eaten American-Chinese food this bland. Ever. Frankly, I'm kinda mind-blown at the amazing reviews. I think when I skimmed through the reviews, I even saw the word "best" in one or two of the reviews (which is why I even decided to try this place). If you believe GW 73099 has exceptionally good American-Chinese food, then... You must not eat a lot of Chinese food (Americanized or otherwise). In my relatively short life, I've never felt the need to add salt to Chinese food (until now), because if there's one thing Chinese food has in spades, it's salt. I had to drench the food (noodles, rice, chicken, everything) in soy sauce in an attempt to impart some sort of flavor. Because rice cakes shouldn't be what you think of when you're eating Chinese food. It was the most bland, under-cooked, flavorless, say-nothing, do-nothing, American-Chinese food I've consumed. But I will say that the generous portions work in GW 73099's favor. You may not taste anything, but you won't be hungry by the end of the meal. And the General Tso combination platter (while being a good price/value) was less General and more... someone who didn't enlist. Un-enlisted Tso sounds right. If GW 73099 was a person, he (or she) would be the most milquetoast Asian immigrant ever.
Now, having said all this, I'm willing to admit that maybe I'm wrong. Maybe all of you fine Yelpers rate this particular GW so highly for good reason, and my meal was just missing a certain somethin'-somethin' (like one of the five major taste sensations). And considering the prices are so low, I'm willing to give it another go relatively soon. This is (according to Yelp) the closest non-American food to our domicile, so I'm likely to eat here again. But only when my wife leaves me home alone, with an empty fridge, and I'm feeling super-lazy.
I will say this though. The egg roll was good. Like... Really good. It was the bigliest of egg rolls. -

This is a great take out place that's convenient to where we live. Everything we've tried has been delicious and they are generous with their portions (we always have leftovers for at least a couple more meals). They make the food fresh so if you don't call ahead you will wait a little bit, but it's never very long and I think it's worth it to not have anything that came from under a heat lamp.
We only ever get take out from here. As another reviewer mentioned, I don't recommend coming here for a sit down dinner. There technically are a few tables, but one is usually taken up by their kids playing. I don't blame them. They are trying to run a business and daycare is expensive, and the kids always seem pretty well behaved, but it doesn't make for the best sit down atmosphere. -

Easy go to during the week and weekends. Close to home. Everything is cooked to order so it's piping hot when you get it. I'm a picky egg roll eater and although these aren't #1 on the list they definitely are up their. Prices are very reasonable as we can usually feed our family of 5 within $25.
