Customer Review Summary
Chow mein and curry sauce draw repeated praise here, with several diners calling the food excellent and highlighting big portions, speedy delivery, and food arriving piping hot; one first-timer singled out the chicken satay and chow mein as very tasty. Friendly counter staff come up more than once, with reviewers describing the women handling orders as lovely and quick. But a real split shows in recent feedback: multiple reviewers report a noticeable decline, describing a watery chilli and honey chicken with little chicken and dry rice, and a special chow mein with rubbery meat and mushrooms after years of loyal ordering. One customer says missing food from an order was refused replacement. Another reviewer reports falling ill after a Saturday order. Longtime regulars remain torn between calling it one of Billingham's best and warning that quality has genuinely slipped from what it once was.

“Food has taken a really nosedive since the start of the year. Ordered special chow main meat was rubbery like it had been boiled as were the mushrooms. Only ever used Great Wall for over 15 years I’m afraid will be finding a new Chinese takeaway.”
