    Having been to a few, I would say that The Great Wall is better that your average Chinese buffet.  Sesame chicken is pretty good and the crab rangoon is tasty along with most of the buffet offerings.  Go for lunch - crab legs served at dinner pretty much suck and are scarce.

    Had never been and tried it last night out of curiosity.

    It's been around a long time and it shows. Everything is very worn. All the furnishings the dinnerware etc. they really should think about replacing some of this stuff at least every 20 years.  

    There is plenty of food to choose from. Avoid everything on the dessert menu--I tried it all to be fair--all of it has that cheap industrial bakery taste to it. For example you would only know that the cake you were eating was supposed to be chocolate with your eyes open.  The taste is only vaguely chocolate but mostly just cheap sugar taste.

    Nothing stands out as remarkably good or even particularly "Chinese" sushi and two colors of jello were on the menu.

    Has a stir fry station which was the best part. So if willing to wait for it you can get freshly stir fried shrimp with noodles and vegetables.

    You can count on their staple dishes and I always enjoy the Mongolian grill! Green beans and mushrooms, fried rice and noodles, egg flour and hot and sour soups with fried wonton strips and green onions readily available! Seafood selection available and sushi. Overall, one of the most known buffets.
    They have been consistent and we continue to come back! Would like to see some new dishes presented and some flair to the cuisine. Let's see what this year brings!

    This restaurant's food is like out of the world! One thing I love about this Buffet is the ice cream. I like the mixed flavor they have vanilla and chocolate mixed which is  basicalm. This restaurant opens 6 days a week. It's only closed on Tuesdays.

    Bad food, dirty dining room. We had to sit at a dirty table even though there were clean ones next to us. Just...why?

    Food was bad. Server made a racist comment about my friends as soon as we walked in. Terrible.
