Lovely food. We had the set menu for 4, plenty of food for all.

Decided to give the 'Great Wall' a try for the first time. It was a takeaway I would collect. An uncomplicated order of beef with chilli & black bean, special chow mein, mixed sweet & sour balls 2 fried rice and 1 plain chow mein. Over the phone I was told 30- 35 mins. I arrived within 30 mins. I left 55 mins later without an apology for the delay.The quality of the food was a huge disappointment, only 8 small balls, which were chewy and insipid in flavour. Special chow mein was anything but special again mean ingredients mainly chicken very dry and tasteless. Beef in black bean was a sad, stingy portion (probably a blessing) again, very dry. I don't believe the egg fried rice ever saw a wok. It tasted like boiled rice mixed with some scrambled egg, awful! Plain chow mein was a portion of fine noodles dowsed in soy sauce, barely eddible. £40.00 Thank you very much!In summary, terrible food which was an insult to the buyer. I don't understand how this type of business continues to exist when the food & service is so very poor. Why do they serve food which they themselves would not eat? Who do they take us for? The good people of Rochford deserve better.First and definitely the last time.

I went to this restaurant In Rochford Essex with 7 other friends. we had a reserved booking & were made very welcome when we arrived. We all chose different dishes so that we could share. we had duck, pork, lamb & various chow meins, sauces, rices & sea food platters.we could not fault the food. It was seved piping hot & was very well cooked & very tasty.We also had white & a very nice merlot wine with our meal. One of our friends had green tea & some of us had tia maria coffee to finish our evening. we had excellent sevice & the staff were friendly & attentive. Will certainly go there again!

I ordered a delivery. Sweet & sour prawn balls, satay prawn skewers, vegetable curry & boiled rice & mixed vegetables. Prawn crackers arrived too. All absolutely delicious. Piping hot. Friendly delivery driver. I would highly recommend.

Great Chinese restaurant. The food tonight is very good, especially the Singapore rice noodles are moderate in taste, and Yangzhou fried rice is very hot, which is the most delicious takeaway in Rockford.
We have used Gt Wall since living in Rochford for the last 18 months. We usually order the same meal as we know what we like. Tonight I'm wondering if the chef has changed? The shrimp curry was far too spicy and fiery, the sweet and sour sauce was thin and not the usual taste and the Chow Mein was very dry. Very disappointing. Viv.

The waiters are attentive and enjoy a humorous patter. I enjoyed the food, only come here for a treat, with friends. Would happily come more often if it was closer to me. Came with a group of 6.

We wanted a Chinese take away and decided to try the Great Wall rather than the one up the road in the hope that it would be better quality food. A big mistake it was awful, the stuffed crab claws were hard and chewy we left them. The chow mein was so dry I'm not sure what they'd done to it, I'm thinking it might have been cooked and left on the side it looked awful. The duck dish looked unappetising and was over cooked and tough. This restaurant is far more expensive than your local takeaway we might as well have thrown £35 away which is a lot for two people. We won't return.
