Great Wall Cuisine

Visited Great Wall Cuisine while in Phoenix. First off, it’s only fair to say this review can’t compare to my in-laws’ famous and highly rated upscale Chinese restaurant — which also happens to carry Great Wall as part of the name. That said, expectations adjusted, this spot delivers a solid yum cha experience for Arizona. As you pull in, you’ll notice it’s located in an unassuming strip mall. Inside, the atmosphere is exactly what you’d expect — controlled chaos, with traditional steam carts rolling through a packed dining room filled with large family tables. The service is hit or miss, and with dim sum you often want your favorites right away, so sometimes you just have to wait for the cart to come around. Tried a variety of dishes. The Cheung Fun has always been a favorite of mine and it was decent. The Shumai, Har Gow, Char Siu Bao, Lo Bak Go, Taro, and of course Dan Tat (egg tarts) were all good. I think I’m officially done ordering Wu Gok though — that one didn’t do much for me and probably won’t be on my list next time. Almost forgot, you can’t have yum cha without Gai Lan, and as usual it was good — honestly a dish that’s hard to mess up. Overall, the best dim sum I’ve had so far in Arizona. Saluti

My first time here and glad I came with a Chinese speaking friend as most of the wait staff do not speak English. I have not had dim sum before and really enjoyed the atmosphere and delighted in trying so many different dishes. The food tasted very authentic.

DUMPLINGS ONLY SERVED lunch times. M-F 11a-3p S-S 10a-3p Went for Chinese new year will definitely be back again. Food was really good I recommend 11, 18, 19, 21, 22, 29, 16, 17, 43, 49, 52, 65, 74, 75, Get the hot tea, vinegar, and chili oil for the full experience. Use soy sauce sparingly. Can’t really go wrong with anything that has BBQ pork. Definitely recommend at least getting a sweet dessert and either a fried rice or noddle dish

Popped in for Dim-Sum on a Saturday (feeling nostalgic - as kid in the Valley, my family and family friends would hit China Doll on weekends). Great Wall is pricier than I’d expect at dim sum. It’s pretty good with a solid, wide selection. Service is pleasant and practical in that loud, hectic cantonese way. They serve all the normal favorites. My kid love steamed tsa shai bao and I’m all about daikon radish cakes and sticky rice tamales with chicken. The egg tarts and spring rolls were a bit of let down, though still ok. If variety is your thing, this is worth a try. I think I slightly prefer the dim sum place on the east side at the mekong plaza, but on the west side of town, this a great option for dim sum.

I am the president of the Az Asian Chamber of Commerce and we have been hosting our events here for many many years and we LOVE Donald and the team at Great Wall. They are An amazing, family style Chinese place that also does dim sum and has room for great banquets. This is a Chinese staple of Phoenix and we love it.
