New Great Wall

Also a staple for us– the chow fun is delicious here. So are the bbq spare ribs. It’s easy to pick up from and always fast and yummy.

If you’re looking for decent chinese fast food, this is the place. It’s not unbelievably delicious. But it’s good. A bit overpriced, but that’s not surprising as it is in south orange. Keep in mind that there are small portions. Certain things on the menu are bland. I usually stick with certain things. But i don’t go here often. I’ve had much better at other places. It’s a nice go-​to if you happen to be in the area.

Dude, when we first moved here from NYC where I was born and raised, I was seriously looking for 2 things to lock down — a pizzeria that can deliver a crispy slice and a Chinese fastfood spot that could do my fave comfort foods justice.
We tried out a few different spots and yeah the tiny storefronts look similar and the menus and even the storenames do, too. BUT New Great Wall is my go-​to on Grubhub when I want fried chicken wings and french fries that arrive hot and crispy, honey bbq spare rib tips over pork fried rice, and a hot and sour soup so full of tofu, mushrooms, and flavor that I savor each plastic spoonful! And to be honest, their sweet and sour sauce actually has some love in it — I can taste the pineapple among the usual flavors. And oh, I am a small girl with a big appetite and I can easily turn one dish into 2 meals, awesome value!
Is this spot a legit Chinese restaurant if you want banquet level food? No, I don’t think so, but I also have not tested those dishes. If you want a serious sit-​down meal, you should check out a proper place. I hear great things about China Chalet and I have enjoyed visits to Cathay 22. BUT if what you want is some fast food to savor by the glow of Netflix, dude, holler at these guys through GrubHub — so easy!

Delivery was super fast on a Saturday evening and my food was surprisingly palatable. I got shrimp moo shu because they didn’t offer vegetable moo shu. The shrimp were small and well cooked – not like those big fat undercooked shrimp that sometimes are in Chinese food. They actually served enough wrappers for the amount of food, about 5 or 6. One small container of plum sauce. Not earth-​shattering, but tasty and filling.

I go here from time to time for dinner or lunch. The lunch specials are $ 6 and change and you get a pretty good portion. There are a number of entrees you can choose from and they’re all pretty good so that you’ll want to try a few different ones, but nothing wildly different from other chinese resturants.
If you call ahead they’re pretty good at having your food ready and if you get delivery they’re pretty good with that too. The space in the resturant is pretty good, about 5 tables and seat 3 at each confortably. There is a nice selection of beverages also.
The only problem I have here is you must spend at least $ 10 before you can use card to pay or else they charge you an extra fee. This wouldn’t be a problem, but unless you’re getting two or more entrees, you probably won’t spend that much, so make sure to bring cash.

This is a really basic Chinese place with so-​so food. I have not loved or even really liked anything I have eaten here. It’s all kind of bland to me.
However, I gave it two stars on behalf of my vegan friend who RAVES about their sesame tofu. She says it’s the best she’s ever had.

Take-​out! If you want Chinese take-​out, this is where you have to go. I love the General Tso chicken, Orange chicken, and all of their low-​mein and rice combos.
Eating in isn’t what you want this place for, but if you’re in the market for the best Chinese takeout, this is your place.

Not an authentic Chinese food spot, obviously. French fries on the menu? I guess. They’re not the only Chinese restaurant out here to do so. I know I’m not getting any of the real stuff when I come to places like this and that’s fine. For what it is, I think they’re not bad. I wasn’t blown away, but I liked what I had… enough to take leftovers home.
