To be fair, this eatery takes on a real challenge-to serve both Japanese and Chinese food from the same cooks and from the same kitchen! I would guess they do an enormous take out business where working moms and dads in LAMORINDA can put together a family dinner for $30 or so with emphasis on "fillers" like rice and noodles though I was surprised how quickly our bill came to $66. There were 2 adults who each ordered an entire, one with soup, and 2 appetizers shared by 2 kids. Now for the food: my grandson had sushi which looked like it might have been dropped on the floor- it was loosely packed and just did not look fresh. My wife and I Shared a medium sized bowl of hot and sour soup, and I thought it was excellent, with the perfect balance between pepper hot and strong vinegary sour. My criticism of the entrees my wife and I had, I must be critical of both for the same reason: the cooks cheated in both entrees by loading the dishes with inexpensive fillers, and minimizing the chicken, beef and seafood. One of the entrees was mango chicken- there was so much mango that one needed to search for the very few pieces of chicken that were there: my order was one I have frequently ordered in Chinese places- three kind Kung pau- beef,seafood,chicken- again the cooks cut some corners and filled the entre with a variety of vegetables, and an obviously small amount of the " three kinds". The vegetables were cooked just right, but then I didn't order a vegetarian dish, which was close to what I got. This kind of skimping on essentials they try to compensate by loading you down with extras, like a basket of fortune cookies, free vegetables(in our case cherry tomatoes) and an item for the kiddies I'm sure dentists will just love- a bag of cotton candy. My final words -it's ok for take out food, but in a community that knows what good Chinese and Japanese cuisine is?Richard

First, I am Chinese, so I know Chinese food. This place is legit. You aren't going to get any fancy or super expensive seafood dishes here, this is not that type of restaurant. But what they make is first rate, tasty and using good cuts of meat and fresh ingredients. The smoked duck is excellent, not to be missed. The Mongolian lamb and spicy green beans are also very good. The staff is friendly and hard working, and everything on the menu is reasonably priced. Yes, there are Americanized dishes, you are in Moraga not Chinatown but if you enjoy home cooked Chinese food you will not be disappointed.

Went here with family on Christmas Eve with 5:30pm reservations. Got right in to our table and received our appetizer and drinks right away. Downhill from that point on! Took over an hour to get our entree. Food was lukewarm and bland, especially the Mu Shu pork which is listed as one of their specialty. Was Told by waiter, who cared less, that the kitchen was filling takeouts before in restaurant patrons. Place was packed but that should not be an excuse

We have been dining at Great Wall for years, since they opened in Lafayette. Wonderful Chinese food in a warm atmosphere with very reasonable prices. Family operated the servers know the patrons and are personable. Every visit has been marvelous, but our visit in February seemed special. Jimmy, our server, remembers our nine year old grandson by name and asked about him since this visit he wasn't with us. Great Wall has a full bar and when we skip martinis, we always have Tse Doh beers with our Pot Stickers (the best) and a Seafood Delight entree. The Wor Wonton Soup is wonderful also. The Great Wall is worth finding on Golden Gate way in Lafayette.
