I would not recommend spending your money here. I was shocked with how bad the chicken chow mein smelled, absolutely horrid had to throw it away immediately. The sweet and sour chicken was ok, but so greasy and overly breaded. Egg drop soup was not good at all, had a very weird taste to it. Very very disappointed. You can tell very little care goes into making this food.

Food was not good. Deep fried items had an old used oil taste. Rangoon filling did not taste like it should, bland and off. Sesame chicken had a bright orange sauce that was like sweet and sour. The chicken itself was tough, dry and stringy. Over $40 for food that was largely inedible. The sad thing is, occasionally this place puts out decent food. It's a crap shoot, and really not worth it anymore.

I don’t usually write reviews but I love this place. I’ve been multiple times and the people and food is always AMAZING!

Y’all for real don’t understand the type of service and quality food you’re getting. This is some bomb ass Asian food. Like I’ve been to this place 4 times and one week. And I’m bout to order again.

Great China is our go-to for Chinese takeout. The staff are friendly and polite. The food is familiar, consistent and prepared quickly - it is exactly what anyone would expect from a high-volume, American Chinese restaurant. I really appreciate them on the days we can not, or will not be bothered to cook and even more so on occasions such as Christmas Eve when our oven basically exploded with our entire feast inside of it...Great China to the rescue!
I'm giving two stars, though, because their menu also includes sushi which ought to be avoided at all costs. The selections are more expensive than offerings at other neighborhood establishments, like Tokyo or Jackknife but the quality is dubious at best. Of course, with any cuisine, there will always be many tiers of food freshness, preparation and presentation. In the world of sushi, call me a snob, but, I had always considered the low end to originate somewhere near grocery store deli counters which are only slightly above gas station sushi but that seems irrelevant because what kind of idiot would eat gas station sushi? Well. The order I took home from Great China made gas station sushi look like a delicacy. I refuse, though, to assign them any status on the Tiers of Sushi Quality because what I received was certainly not an edible meal, but rather an instrument of biological warfare.
In summary: If you're looking for lo mein, sesame chicken or egg rolls or what have you, Great China will get you exactly what you expect and you will not be disappointed.
If you're looking for sushi, look elsewhere unless you have a legitimate desire to cancel your plans for the next 30 hours or so because what you get will probably be food poisoning.

i’m doing 2 stars cause I’d like to see a change to the online menu, the restaurants website doesn’t show images of any of the food, thought I was ordering something completely different from what I got, was good food, would like to come back but don’t have much time for eating out, please update the website to show some pictures

Great place for good eats, decent price, and they're pretty damn good. One minor issue, owner, your website has the delivery from address in Illinois.

My order: Beef & Broccoli; Chicken & Broccoli (steamed); Chicken Rice Soup; Pork Fried Rice.I’m passing through and we chose to stop at this Chinese food place based on the ratings being over 4 stars… Unfortunately, the food was a massive disappointment. Bad texture and VERY mushy. Straight mush. The chicken was unappetizing and looked horrible to begin with. I took one bite of the pork fried rice and it was mush that had no flavor. Normally you can taste the pork bits or different veggies, but this wasn’t like that. We threw everything out. The food was done in the time they estimated (15min) and the bathroom was clean. Those are the only two positive things to say.

Ordered steamed chicken and vegetables and it was literally 80% rice. Egg roll bland but general tsos is good
