The food her is typically fine, but the quality varies per visit. I ordered the spring rolls because the first time I had them they were incredible, 2nd time a little yucky, last time ok-ish.
I also had the sweet and sour chicken, no pineapple or onion or bell peppers but that seems to be common now. The chicken was super dry, maybe freezer burn?
They’re super nice people but ill probably make a different choice next time

Don’t let the decor turn you off. The cook puts the money into the food. Yum!!! I eat the twice cooked pork. My wife gets the potstickers (beyond compare) and chicken with vegetables. The portions are generous. We often take some home for an additional meal. The Great Wall is a great hole in the wall delight.

The food tastes very good, and the portions constitute what I would call a large meal. You won’t be hungry afterward, and you may even have some left over to carry out. The atmosphere of the restaurant is not bad, but it isn’t particularly good, either. They don’t accept credit card for any purchases under $20, which is a huge inconvenience. I wish that they would lower that minimum purchase price down to $15, instead.

TLDR: Get the steamed dumplings. Really high quality food, especially for the price.

MENU: They offer an extensive variety of Americanized Chinese; you’ll be familiar with most of it. All of the online versions of the menu I have seen are out of date. Go inside and pick up a paper take-home copy.

COMPETITION: The closest comparison I can make to Great Wall is Chen’s, near the square. Let me give you an example how the two restaurants contrast with each other.

Chen’s: The first thing I ever got at Chen’s was the cashew chicken. The quantity of chicken (chopped dark meat) and cashews were generous for the price. And the rest was celery. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but I mean it. The dish was about 50% celery. The fried rice is greasy and over-salted. I always get the combo, with an egg roll, which is a factory-made thin and crispy item filled with cabbage.

Great Wall: I haven’t had the cashew chicken at GW in several years and I don’t quite recall what was in it, but I recently got the moo goo gai pan combination, so I’ll use that as a point of comparison. Thinly sliced white meat, with a variety of vegetables including: snow peas, carrots, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and mushrooms. The fried rice is light and fluffy, not too greasy. The egg rolls here are also factory made, and more like you normally see in Americanized Chinese spots around the country: thicker wanton wrapper, filled mainly with cabbage and few tidbits of pork thrown in.

Which one would you rather have?

FOOD QUALITY: The folks at Great Wall clearly take a lot of pride in what they produce. Everything I have ever gotten was fresh and made to order. The quality of the food here makes them one of the best restaurants in Kirksville, if you ask me.

MENU FAVORITES: Let’s talk about the steamed dumplings. I believe they are homemade (if not, they certainly fooled me). The filling (beef, if I’m not mistaken) is flavorful and tender, and comes with a sharp, sweet and tangy dipping sauce. I would say the wrappers are bit too thick and stodgy, but still good overall.

MENU FAILS: The only minor criticism I would offer is with the egg rolls – they always seem to be a little cold in the middle. Go for the crab rangoon instead, if you get a combo meal.

FRONT OF HOUSE SERVICE: They do things fast food style, where you go up to the counter and get your food on a tray. It’s always the same lady working the register – she’s cordial and efficient. Chances are you’ll overhear her and the cook talking together in their native language, which I think is cool.

KITCHEN SERVICE: The kitchen is open, and you can watch the cook work if you want to. From what I’ve seen, it’s always clean.

ATMOSPHERE: The interior is bright and cheerful. Like a lot of restaurants in Kirksville, the building has some history. (Go check out the mural on the east wall of the building Nurhachi was in, if you’ve never seen it.) Based on the furniture in the dining room, it must have started life as a fast food joint. Next, judging by the saltillo tile around the front counter, it was a Mexican spot. Now it’s Chinese. Each phase in the building’s life shows through in some of the remaining artifacts. The exterior is noteworthy, too. The gray-green color of the brick is unique and unmistakable at a distance, and I really like all of the vines growing on the face of the north wall. I’d say it’s beautiful, in a quaint sort of way.

The food was great. The service wasn’t so good . The lady who waited on my wife and I was on her phone the whole time we were there. She stopped long enough to take our order after we stood there for a while. We found a seat and waited for our food. When she did bring us our food, she just left it laying on the counter. She continued her conversation on the phone even as we left. We probably won’t go back.

We called ahead to order and picked up about 15 minutes later. The order was 100% accurate and they even gave us some extra donuts. Everything tasted good.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere the building is beyond cool and tells a wonderful story of its history. From the vines growing on the outside to the sturdy wooden and well maintained booths and chairs on the inside from an ancient taco bell, it is a very clean environment.
Watching the chef with his fierce intensity while he cooks was an experience in itself and an inspiration. You can tell he is a master of his craft and they love what they do and it shows through in the cuisine hands down best fried dumplings I’ve ever had you can tell they’re home made and that goes a long way. The owners definitely deserve all of the business they get plus some! I hope it is a staple of this town for a long time to come.
