Great Wall

Very friendly waiter, and I loved the buffet they have displayed. Food was hot and delicious. In addition, I liked listening to the Chinese music playing quietly throughout the restaurant.

So far this is the best spot ive encountered for chinese food in town. They give you very big portion sizes, especially when you order the noodles, and everything has always been very fresh and hot. They even normally throw in some extra appetizer items just as an extra gift

I ordered rice combination pieces of chicken in the was too big and I only got four shrimps in the whole order of fried rice combination very satisfied so next time I want Chinese food I will be going to panda walk in Lancaster. They give you a lot of shrimp with you Fried rice

We love the great wall, always have. The new(ish) hot garlic chicken is delicious. My favorite off buffet item is the spicy eggplant and tofu. Great buffet and take out options. The service is always good and we've never had any issues.

Really delicious food at a good price point. The staff is so friendly as well. I highly recommend the cheese wontons, coconut shrimp, and orange chicken. Great for some quick and tasty Chinese food! Craving some more!

Best Chinese buffet I've ever been to. If you go after 4pm they have Shrimp and Sushi. I love the honey walnut shrimp. The waiter is quick to pick up our plates and refill our water. Great service.

Was staying in Tehachapi for a weekend trip and came across this place. The prices are extremely reasonable and fairly priced. We got a little bit of everything in our take-out container. The food was very tasty.. not to mention the buffet prices are unbeatable. Workers were extremely kind as well. If you’re looking for some good Chinese food, this is the place to be!

Great food! Large portions and amazing amount of choices. Very clean. Buffet was amazing to see the amount of choices even though we had already ordered off the menu we wish we would have chosen the buffet. Next time through Tehachapi we will try the buffet. Easy access on and off the freeway. Highly recommend.

Food and staff are excellent. Great deserts available. They Can also cook to you're specifications for dietary specialization.

Food was ok. I went to use the woman's restroom and the hydraulic arm that is supposed to slow down the extra heavy door did not work. I heard the door coming too fast and reach behind me to try and slow it down. Instead it caught my fingertips in the door. I am brining this awareness before some child opens the door and gets hurt.

Smallest serving I've ever had from any Chinese restaurant. Most of it was hard carrots and veggies. My soup only had 2 wontons.

I've given the new owners plenty of chances. This time, I decided to dine in instead of getting takeout to see if the quality had improved. Unfortunately, the soup was terrible, filled with gristly meat, and the broth tasted like water rather than chicken. They barely gave any sizzling rice. I didn't even eat the soup. My son said the buffet was decent and ate it, but to me, everything looked unappetizing. I'm done. This was the last chance for the new owners to make things better. Sadly, you can't get sizzling rice soup at any other restaurant in Tehachapi. For really good food, I have better luck in Palmdale or Santa Clarita. 6/9/24

Food overcooked, had a taste of dirty dishes. Service was pleasant and didn't cost too much for two buffets but we won't be back.

Plant based options on buffet! Broccoli, green beans, eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, cabbage, mushrooms, tofu....works for me! Some of these were taken from the meat-based dishes, broccoli taken from the beef & broccoli. The meat-eaters should be happy with the remaining meat-to-vegetable ratio. Red bean sesame balls for dessert. Decent meal overall.

Hey, Wall of China, what happened? I hate to be rude but, your food is down right disgusting. We went there last night and I promise I will never go back again. Your buffett should be banned. Everything appeared to be a few days old, the orange chicken was hard as a rock, the coconut shrimp was a joke, fried cod (did you run out of shrimp?) was tastfree, what a total 'let down'. The fortune cookies appeared to have come from Temu as they were the cheapest of quality. I hope you take this review under consideration and step up your act.

Great place to take the family. The buffet is very tasty. The service is outstanding! The ambiance fits right for the food type being served, nice place!

Always a pleasure to eat there, I use the buffet, the choices are many. The service is fast, and always good. There are deserts to choose from and beer if you want. I consider the prices reflect the good food, a cheaper meal can be found, as well 5 years ago everything was cheaper, so to me, prices are great. Have been going there about 8 yrs. and plan to continue going there for years to come.

It seems you need to catch the early afternoon and early evening time in order to have a fresher selected buffet. We went at 5:40PM to chow down and the food seemed dried out or wilted. 6:00 rolled around and the food started to get replaced with fresher food.

I wanted to update my review. I went back to try the buffet again due to learning that their were new owners. People on Nextdoor said it was much better. So, I thought I'd give it a try. The buffet was much improved. There was a variety of foods and they were well prepared and tasty. It is not as big as it was before Covid but very good. I will definitely be a regular customer again.

Me and my fiancé came up to visit my family and decided to go out to eat and she wasn't too hungry so we were just going to share a plate so we came in sat down never got asked for any drinks and the waiter waited for her to put the food almost in her mouth and got mad and flipped out and made her cry also orange chicken is like chewing on a flavored rope will never come back

For being a small town buffet, it def has better food options than the panda. I enjoyed everything I ate. The young man is very attentive and nice. i like the calm and quietness. food is warm tho. i guess i like my food hot. lol the dessert selection could be improved but i do love their sugar buns ! overall small place great food. even their take out option is a great deal! $20 and i filled my box up!

The Great Wall tastes just like a home-cooked meal after a long journey. The food is hearty, the owners generous and kind, and after a tiring road trip, the whole experience re-energized us for the rest of our drive. Loved the lo mein and sautéed mushrooms. Highly recommend!

Food is so gross here. I keep coming from time to time thinking they will develop a touch of pride and improve their standards but seriously the owners should be ashamed of themselves.

The prices are ridiculous and the food is awful. Went sometime last year and it was OK, now just terrible. $18.95 for a chicken dish that looked like it had been sitting around somewhere for a while. Sweet and sour shrimp burned beyond recognition and lots of pieces of fried batter with no shrimp in them. Barbeque pork fried rice last time was big and fluffy with nice, fresh pork pieces. Now it's one third the size and all greasy and pork looks days old. Not going back. Major rip off for the money they charge and non existent customer service.

Great Wall has the best sautéed string beans! Ordered a rather large family order and everything was wonderful! So much better than Panda! Our appetizers were crispy, soup was hot and all entrées had so much flavor. We ordered: Egg Rolls Fried Cheese Wontons Egg Flower Soup Sautéed String Beans Broccoli Beef Orange Chicken Sweet & Sour Chicken Fried Rice

We dine at a lot of Chinese buffets and this one was better than most. The food was tasty and hot. Most items were fresh and not old tasting. The service was very good. This place was very clean, even the restrooms, which in my opinion pretty much tells the cleanliness of the entire restaurant. Would go back when we're in town.

This place is the best. So grateful we have this in our small town. Great food. Buffet is always fresh and we order to go when we are busy too. KB always hooks it up and is very kind

Came here years ago and absolutely disliked it. Apparently its under new ownership and the food is delicious. The staff are very friendly and there is a variety of Asian cuisine. Highly recommend and tastes better than the local Panda Express.

Hidden gem. One of the better Chinese restaurants you'll find. I recommend the orange chicken, kung pao three flavors, chow mein and the sczechuan beef. Buffet too.

Great Wall has the best sizzling rice soup, we go there just for the soup mostly and the orange chicken, wow, Chinese tea is good also just the right strength. I always bring the whole family here for dinner and we love it here, we have a favorite waiter here, Lancaster location. You are always served quickly, tables are clean and comfortable seating and has nice atmosphere and is not a noisy restaurant which is very nice and you can enjoy your food without overbearing noise.

Terrible. Dry food. Soup was old. Sushi... no fresh fish and avocados were brown . Noodles were stuck to the pan

Nothing impressive Not really bad or good Nothing really stands out to make me want to come back Kinda steep on price for what it is for the quality

We had egg foo young, bbq pork with broccoli, and tofu in brown sauce. All really good. Distinct flavors. We got it to go and 20 Minutes later back at the house it was fantastic!

Good food, at a pretty good price. The staff was incredibly attentive and kind. The food could have been fresher, but I can't really expect a whole lot at the price point offered while eating during the off hours. I would definitely come here again.

The service at The great Wall was good, plates removed in a timely manner, water refilled right away. The restaurant was clean, foam to-go containers out of place but that may be due to limited storage space. I had the buffet, and it was ok, some of the items had been there a bit, noodles where stuck to the pan and the beef and broccoli was sort of soggy and not very warm. Some of the fried items were mixed together, but my biggest complaint was there were no labels on the food. As for the prices, I guess they are about equal with everyone else, there are no good deals anymore when going out to eat. 15-20 bucks is the norm nowadays, that without anything but water. I will try The Great Wall again just to give it a second chance, maybe ordering from the menu would be better, at least you would know your food would be hot and freshly prepared.

Our food was fresh and hot! It was packaged great and aside from some sauce in a bag nothing spilt. The orange chicken was my favorite and it was cooked the same without any soggy pieces. The soup was delicious, especially the flavor of the broth. We hadn't eaten there in years and I am so glad we tried it again! Definitely a must try in Tehachapi.

We loved this restaurant. It's classic American style Chinese food that's well done. We had sizzling rice soup that was packed with shrimp and meat. We also had the hot and sour soup and it was some of the best I've had. Oh, we tried the potstickers as well. They were very good too.

I don't come here often enough, I am glad I did finally stop by. Sunday brunch seems to get pretty busy. We did not have trouble finding a parking space. We were greeted friendly at the door by a young man, and then sat down quickly without a wait (we beat the Sunday rush). We got a nice window view but we're quickly to our feet for hit the buffet line. Choices were great, nothing looked odd nor had any weird smell. Everything I tasted was very good, I was able to squeeze in some dissert after getting stuffed with the buffet choices. Overall service was GREAT, food was delicious, table, silverware, cups were all clean. I will come back soon, Happy customer.

What a great difference at The Great Wall Chinese Resturant in Tehachapi ,Ca. A huge improvement now that the new owner took over and you can really tell the difference in the quality of food that is being served here . I am happy we tried it again Valentines Day we really enjoyed the food and were very happy with the improvement over the previous owner , the new owner is doing quite a good job and we are happy to go here again .

Great food. Great people! Great restaurant. The buffet can sometimes be hit or miss but order fresh and the food is to die for. The family that owns this restaurant is great and they have always given back to the community when they can. I will always support this restaurant.

Patrons are not wearing masks, operating a buffet in a very unsafe manner. It is shocking to see people going through a buffet line without wearing a face covering

Love this place! It's definitely one of our favorites in town. The pepper chicken is our go to.

I love chinese food. So when we found this place we decided to check them out. I have always been a trooper when it comes to buffets. This place has it and it is well stocked. I am able to choose from many different plates and they were very tasty. I will be making this place a regular stop for lunch and dinner from now on.

Was craving sizzling rice soup. Ordered the soup and sizzling house pan fry. Was really disappointed. The dishes were not the same. They're substituing everything with zucchini in stead of bean pods. Even the in the soup. There were no mushrooms in anything. The whole menu has changed ingredients.

Some of the best freshest tasting food in all of Tehachapi the to go orders give you DAYS Of left overs great service thank you guys

We ordered takeout, it was ready when expected. Food was good. Staff hard to understand on the phone. Portions are large.

The food here is dry and tasteless and forget about ever getting the fried rice from here!!! I will never return back

Great place Passing thru looking for Chinese food. Buffet was clean. had a good taste. Will go back next time in town.

Went today (10/7/14, 12:15pm) for lunch and I absolutely CANNOT recommend this place. My mom and I had the lunch buffet. The "good": -The only veggies that didn't look dead were the sauteed string beans. They tasted fairly good, as did the so-called BBQ chicken (smothering something in BBQ sauce doesn't make it barbecue) and fried rice. Sushi was edible but not what I would consider to be good. Everything else: - Desserts: Lots of cheap canned fruit, dry crumbly cookies, soft serve that is too soft and a bit soupy. - Entrees: A number of dishes looked like they were mislabeled. Two of the three shrimp offerings were whole shrimp -head, eyes, legs and all. - Appetizers/sides: I tried some of the egg rolls -they were okay. - Avoid: Fried chicken pieces prepared for sweet and sour chicken -it was flavorless and dry. The cream cheese fried wontons might've been okay if they'd had more flavor and were fresher. Service / Preparation: - It was understandable that the staff service would be minimal given our choice was to have the lunch buffet. I saw a worker sit at a table with a large tray of egg roll filling and stuff/roll egg rolls while watching TV. It would not have drawn my attention so much if it weren't for a couple of things: 1) I did not see her sanitize the table surface she was preparing the egg rolls on. No tray, no mat -just rolled egg rolls on table surface. 2) I saw worker blow her nose in tissue, stuff it in her apron pocket, and continue to work without washing her hands! Cleanliness / Upkeep: - Bathroom smelled (as in like bleach) and looked clean but is in need of maintenance. The door doesn't align with frame and requires the user to lift the door in order to close and lock it. Also, the bathroom used to have two stalls but now it's two toilets -one with a full stall enclosure, one without. -The floors were absurdly sticky!!! I have no idea why. * EDIT * (in response to business owner): I have been to this place before multiple times (grandparents' choice) and the day I went, the buffet food was par with what I recall of previous visits. I acknowledge that I am a food enthusiast but I try to be specific and fair, with considerations for quality, quantity, value, logistics, and differences in taste preferences. Distinctions in flavor preferences do not explain overcooked and/or poorly prepared/served food.

I am giving this an average rating because it fluctuates so much. The food can be very good. But I have heard of people having issues. The price is great. When we are sick we always get the sizzling rice soup though. Just remember its like any Chinese buffet, look before you eat. Get the food when its fresh. Some times there is a language barrier. The inside is not pristine, so.....

I love this place so much. The food is incredible, the staff is so kind and the decor is simply lovely. Sometimes I cry at the thought of a humble Buffett dinner at Great Wall.

I'm in the restroom right now and I need toilet paper right now. Please hurry starting to itchy

We had a good experience. :) We had not been here for several years we just weren't that into the food quality. The Vietnamese place across the street was closed early ughhhh so we came here for dinner , what a nice experience , the staff is excellent and very attentive , the restaurant was clean and attractive , the thick cream cheese wontons were fabulous and so was the eggroll and the orange chicken and some glazed pork pieces were super super yummy !! we did not like the egg foo young ..... it had no bean sprouts or any thing crunchy in it , also it was very hard like a breaded egg biscuit. The almond cookies were fresh Every thing else was excellent

Nice Clean place and delicious food! Cheese wonton--crispy (my favorite) hot &sour soup ---very good(they said use whole chicken to cook whole night to make the soup,not the water) Beef broccoli---very good Fried shrimp--I like seafood. So many food all you can eat..Would definitely recommend!

I was recently enjoying a meal at The Great Wall and the food was good. The only point against the place in my opinion ( and I was the GM of a real nice bar a grill in Burbank for 10 years.......hint hint) was that they left the door to their ice machine wide open the whole hour I was there, and I'm sure it's regularly like that seeing the way it was tapped open for good or only the days the health department makes their visits. It may seem like a small thing to nit pick at but thats just completely unsanitary in my professional opinion.

I have gone back multiple times expecting The Great Wall to be Great again, just to be disappointed over and over. I mean yes they have some great food at times. I tend to skip any seafood after the first incident.. (hours and hours of discomfort) but to have the orange chicken be horribly dry or odd tasting is just plain sad. I understand this is no Panda express. But at least they realize it's necessary to rotate food.. pull old food off the line and toss it. Make less when the demand is low.. etc. Someone needs to get in there and really make the place better. Or maybe take out the buffet and make it a special weekend thing?? Until things change This place is no longer on my possible food places in town. I would rather head.out to Lancaster for Chinese food.
