Interestingly, I cannot give an opinion on the food as my attempt to place a take out order tonight was denied because I was told on the phone it was too late to order (20 min before close).
So thankfully Great Wall happily accomodated a quick and easy $200 take out order, which was delicious btw and as I passed No 1 on the way home they were still open. So, if you love delicious Genuine Chinese cuisine with the traditional ethic and hospitality service diligence, remember my review, same hours of operation but Im its Great Wall for me going forward.

The interior is a bit on the shabby end and looks disheveled and those working it are not dressed to work in the traditional sense, but this is a case of looks being deceiving and when it comes down to it, all I care about for takeout is the product. The food is delicious and the proportions are well represented of most of the pricing, if not a tad on the more expensive side. My order was fulfilled with impressive expediency. Will surely be returning.

Very disappointed. I just moved to Gloucester and was trying to find a good Chinese restaurant and chose this place. I asked, what did they put in their fried rice and I was told carrots, broccoli and vegetables. Great that’s exactly how I like my fried rice. However, none of that was in my rice. The crab Rangoon is small and does not taste good. Egg roll was tiny and nasty. I spent $25 for one entrée and one appetizer. That’s a shame.

Ordered takeout. Probably the best dumplings I’ve ever had. Enjoyed sweet and sour chicken – chicken was extra crispy and great. Beef with broccoli sauce and general Tsai. Will definitely be ordering again.

Ordered the beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, steamed dumplings, fried wontons, and had both the white and fried rice… UMMM. The white rice was good, and even then, soy sauce was added. Food was over the top oily and flavorless. Believe the single and double star reviews from a year ago! this place needs to get better for Gloucester!

I’ve been going to this restaurant for about 30 years. I knew the people watched their children grow and the food was always great. Just visited 09/29/2026, the food was disgusting, the chicken fried rice had no vegetables and chicken was boiled not fried , no taste, the house special lomein was cold , no sauce, sticky, a tasteless, the salt and pepper shrimp, one of their signature meals and one of the most expensive was doughy, cold, and the tempura was pasty. I spent over $60 for that meal, I can guarantee it won’t ever happen again and I will inform anyone who inquires about food in Gloucester to definitely not go there.

We have been eating here for 20 plus yrs. This place must’ve changed ownership. It’s a different style of cooking or something. Food tastes strange. The fried rice is not fried rice and it wasn’t fully cooked…..still grainy. I noticed it before and haven’t been back until tonight. We gave it another chance tonight thinking maybe the food would taste like it use to. It didn’t. We won’t be going back.

Cannot comment on atmosphere as this was a take out order but all the food lacked flavor. The wonton soup just tastes like hot water, the beef sticks were tender but no flavor. Good shape and crunch to the crab Rangoon but again no flavor on the filling just tastes like melted cream cheese.
