Great Wall Chinese Restaurant

Infinity

Our little city of Paris has had a few Chinese Buffets try and come through, but with each one...as is the fate of MANY newer restaurants who try their hand at coming here, their stays turned out to be quite limited. I'll admit, I never tried them except for one years and years ago, that I can't even remember the name of. Anyhow, with the exception of our VERY small and limited downtown's Paradise Cafe, when you want your standard Chinese American food fare, Great Wall has you covered. I know that what I'm about to say may be considered blasphemy, or heresy, what have you...but I'm not a big fan of buffets - PERIOD. When I go out for food, I like to have in mind already what it is that I'm going to get to eat. So with that being said...yeah, of course I've had their buffet. And while myself nor my Family have ever really had an issue, I myself just don't like eating food that's just sitting there unattended underneath multiple heat lamps. My Mother and Father are just the opposite of myself when it comes to buffets...of any sort. I've never heard either of them say anything of detriment towards it. I personally, would simply rather make my choice of meal, call ahead, and go and pick it up. A lot of times, no matter how SHORT, or how LONG they'll tell you on the phone that it will be before you drive out for pickup, I've found that you USUALLY do have to wait a few minutes more when you actually get out there. Which honestly is no big deal to me. I and my Parents, as many Parisians here in Town have gotten to know the Family who runs the restaurant, and I have no problem sitting there making a bit of small talk with the lady who takes the calls, and occasionally with a few of the chefs, and waitresses as well for a few before I pick up my absolutely fresh, hot, and 9 times out of 10, pretty daggone delicious meal. The only thing keeping Great Wall from a full 5*****'s, is that, admittedly, there ISN'T a whole lot of "appealing menu options". I can see those who are from a bigger city with many more Chinese American options being a bit disappointed by the lack of "excitement" in the restaurant's menu. But once again, unless you're planning on taking a drive to Lexington or elsewhere, Great Wall pretty much has your standard Chinese American thoroughfare taken care of right here in Town, and the Family operating it, are definitely worth becoming return Patrons to frequent from and get to know. Thanks again guys, lunch today was fantastic. I just finished the rest of my Sweet and Sour chicken off as a "pre-Midnight snack".

Their food is so-so, nothing great. Sometimes the chicken is dry. Going to Lexington would give you better options for Chinese food, but they're okay if you don't want to travel.

The general tso chicken prices were over cooked and severely dried out the sauce no spice or taste combination fried rice the rice dry and somewhat crunchy. Meat as well dry! I have tried the meal witch usually my favorite, several times giving them the benifet of the doubt and not once has it been worth buying. Their buffet is OK but only OK Burbon co deserves much better

They never answered their phone. Called 10+ times and then the line was busy for 15 min. Then called again and it rang but they still didn't answer. The food is good but I can't order it if you don't answer.
