Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

The lady who runs this place always puts a smile on the angriest person. The food is good for Rockford. It's not the best Chinese food I've had, but it's good for the area.

This is my go-to place for take-out, with a huge-menu, reasonable prices, and I always have left-overs. There are some dishes that I really enjoy and some that I don't care for, as it would be anywhere. The decor is definitely unique and I've only eaten in the restaurant a few times. The service is excellent. The owner, May, is again, unique in her own way, but so great once you get to know her! I absolutely prefer this place over Happy Wok any day.

I wish I could give 0 stars! We came for the Sunday brunch, as my husband remembers it to be great. Boy was he wrong! Or maybe it has changed that much in the time he has been away? When you first walk in, you can't help to notice how dark the place is (a little like a dungeon as someone else commented). Even my 5 year old asked why they turned off all the lights. With only 5 tables seated, it took 15 min to get drinks and never saw the waiter again. When we would ask other employees for things like ketchup or napkins, they would literally roll their eyes and run off like they were soo busy doing nothing! The buffet was small but had a bunch of options. I was disappointed the egg rolls all had shrimp, as a family with fish allergies that doesn't work for us. Most of the other food was cold or extremely hard from sitting out. I believe the buffet was only going on for an hour and a half by the time we got there. Overall, we will not be coming back even though I usually give places second chances..... It would need a remodel and maybe some new management for me to come back.

Wow, all I want to say is that the owner of this restaurant, May, is RUDE and clearly has no business sense. After eating at the Great Wall since I was a young child back in the 80's, she has lost me as a customer, and several others it seems. I will NEVER be going back. The food has gone down hill anyway. Happy Wok it is!!! At least that place knows what manners are.

This is my husband's favorite Chinese restaurant. He loves the orange chicken (spicy) and crab ragoons. I absolutely love the egg rolls! They are my favorite and the best I have had. The egg rolls have multiple meats in them and a great balance of all ingredients with no one over powering the other. I can (and usually do) make a meal out of the egg rolls. But when I do order a meal I lean to Hunan chicken (no mushrooms) or Mongolian beef. The meals are pretty standard and not too different than other places but good. The staff is really friendly and it is clear they have a strong following of regulars. We have called in advanced and taken out which also works well. They give large portions so plenty of food and great leftovers. If I rated on the egg rolls alone I would give five stars!

The food is pretty good, with an area that doesn't have a lot of good Chinese food to begin with. The owner is a delight to deal with, I don't know how she is always SOOOO cheerful! They lost a star for the lighting in their restaurant which it's lit like a library - buy a dimmer switch!!!

We took my mother here for Mother's Day, this is one of her favorite restaurants. It's been around for a long time, but I never remember it when we talk about going out. That will change now. When we were there the service was fantastic. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. We never waited long for anything and he checked on us a reasonable amount of times. We couldn't have been happier with the service. The food was pretty good too, depending on what you ordered. We all had the egg drop soup and we thought it was okay. We were also given complimentary crab ragoons for the table. They were pretty good. My Father had the Sweet and Sour pork that he loved. My mother had the Sweet and Sour Shrimp, which she loved, it's her favorite. My son had the chicken fried rice which was okay, nothing great, not bad. Just your standard fried rice. I had the Princess Chicken (Kung Pao Chicken) and I thought it was bland. I've had much better at other restaurants. This is not a slam on The Great Wall, not all places make all of their dishes the same and I prefer it elsewhere. It didn't taste bad, but wasn't what I was expecting. My wife ordered the Mongolian Beef and she had a mouth-gasm. Many years ago I introduced her to Mongolian Beef at Yen Cheng's. She loved it and we would order it for take-out monthly. They went out of business and she never found another place that made it like they did. After years of lamenting the loss of her favorite dish, she found one that was almost exactly the same here. It was the best unintentional mother's day gift ever! The restaurant itself was clean. It had that cheesy Americanized Chinese atmosphere with the cliché decorations and drinks. If you've been into one Chinese restaurant, you've been in this one. I will say that it seemed larger on the inside that what it appeared. They are located right on State Street. This can make getting in and out difficult if the traffic is heavy. If you've ever driven on State Street most evenings and weekends, you know what I mean. Trying to take a left out of the parking lot can be just about impossible. We went back just last weekend and again everything was fantastic. My wife is very happy that she can get her Mongolian Beef again.

STRONGLY AVOID. First, after my husband and I ate the appetizer we ordered we were stuffed so we only had a couple of bites of the 2 entrees that were heaping full on the plates. We politely asked the server for to-go boxes and he took our plates into the kitchen to box them up. The next day when we opened up our boxes to re-heat the food we found that the small Chinese boxes were HALF FULL OR LESS. The plates no kidding were HEAPING full when they went back into the kitchen. That only leaves two alternatives for what happened to our food once they went into the kitchen, each of which are equally disturbing: 1. Half of our entrees were served to the kitchen staff for dinner or 2. The restaurant is reusing the food by only boxing up half of the customers entree and reusing the other half for the next person that orders that entree. Second, my husband and I ordered the dinner for 2. We saw on the bill that they charged us $24. We both were convinced that the dinner for 2 was less than that on the menu but we didn't want to be confrontational so we didn't say anything. I picked up a to-go menu on the way out the door and read it on the way home and sure enough the dinner for 2 is $22 so they overcharged us and do not charge the prices that are listed on the menu. Based on our experience below, we would have to say that the service was terrible. My food was very good but my husabnd didn't care for his entree.

Rockford doesn't have a whole lot of variety and quality when it comes to ethnic food, and as I've lived here my whole life... my own experience is limited as well. But given that, I would have to say that this is the best place in Rockford to get chinese food. The restaurant is under new ownership, by the people who used to run Yen Ching, but they still have the same great food that was served at both restaurants. Their food is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable as well. I hadn't been there in a long time, till I just went for my birthday in March 2010. They have many different types of stir fry mostly, and dinner packages for two or more that give you a great deal. My dad and I got one of the dinners for two, which came with soup, an appetizer platter with about 6 different items for each person, plus our entrees. The entrees themselves are large enough for 2 good meals, with a large plate of stir fry and a bowl of rice on the side. All that, plus our drinks, a big bowl of their amazing hot and sour soup to take home to my dad's gf, plus tip... came to about $40. And on a final note, their oolong tea is also yummy. ^_^

Went back a few weeks ago and the good was horrible! Almost like a new cook was in the back, we will never come back again. (We did talk to the owners but they insisted the food was the same when it was visually different, they didn't even offer a refund or discount.)

Standard. Typical.

I have to say that I didn't like the food all that much. I had the coconut shrimp and it tasted different than any other coconut shrimp that I've had at any other restaurants. It was very bland and had very little flavor, and, at $1105, it's a shame that I left hungry. The portion was very small.
