The Great Wall in Bradford

Confession time: we used to order regularly but then we decided to try other more local Chinese places....and realised that The Great Wall is the best in Bradford! Just ordered again from The Great Wall today and really enjoyed the food! It arrived earlier than expected (we are just within 3 mile delivery limit), piping hot and tasted great!

I haven’t had Great Wall food since my uni days and I was hesitant because of the reviews. I loved them at uni so I was very confused why people didn’t like them. Today I ordered their crispy aromatic duck pancakes, chicken chow mein and pineapple chicken. And I must say it was fantastic! It was a Monday dinner, and it came quick, piping hot with prawn crackers and wings as well which my parents devoured. I would happily come back to them, because I remember back then they were consistent in the food they cook. It’s tasty, warm, large portions, and just in general comfort food! Loved the duck so much.

Always top quality food. Salt & pepper dishes are amazing.

Very nice Chinese food. I normally get the box which has everything in it. Wings are the best from here very authentic.

So happy this is a halal takeaway love there food staff are lovely

No nice service rude behavior not recommend to anyone

Full correct order, quick delivery amazing food and great customer service. 👌 thank you so much. The meal was delicious 😋

It's a shame they're not on Uber eats.

I loved their chicken fried rice with curry sauce. The only problem is they don't accept card payments. I don't know why, it's the year 2023, and they are still only accepting cash. Nowadays who's gonna carry a wallet with them?

Really enjoy their food all the time!

They not send what I asking for and I ringing them and they say is OK 4 review is 0 my name is hassan they full of shet don't believe what they say

This place was very good but the lady on the phone is very rude and accused me of lying because she forgot part of my order. Quality is hit and miss and has been for a while. Looks better than it was unfortunately.

Do not order here if you want awful food and people who don’t listen to your dietary requirements! I ordered by telephone and told the woman on the phone for no onions in my chow mein because one of my kids are allergic to it and they still put it in even though I told the women many times! With the prices being expensive, I’ve wasted £6.80 and my child didn’t get to eat with us. Chicken wings were soggy and wet when I recieved them. Avoid

Something strange about the woman. There's a Halal sign at the door, however I asked her whether the food was halal and she just nodded her head. I asked again and she said yes. I asked where she gets her beef from and she said "shoap" I asked again which shop and she said "alal shop" don't trust her tbh.

Food was very good not salty and great amount. Just a little flavor on the soup as it taste like boiled chicken water. Perhaps with some veges to add umami.

Constantly always order from here love the customer support the staff are really understanding and i get my food delivered nice and hot such a bargain for so much food as well. forever be my favourite place to eat from since i was a little girl.

Best Chinese spot. Great food at a great price

Worst takeaway ever that I’ve had for a while. The person on the phone couldn’t even properly speak English and kept getting my order wrong. I wanted to stop ordering at this point. Food was soggy and looked like a mess. I don’t know why people order from this place

Good deep soup bowls, plenty if variety in the platter, duck was nice and crispy (pancakes were stuck together). Took a bit to come but it was worth the wait. Ordered direct from the restaurant rather than using an app.

Fast and quick food service, friendly counter, would recommend this place

Extremely rude on the phone while taking an order , the food never turned up, then put phone down when chasing up my order

The lady who takes the orders is quite literally the most difficult person I've ever encountered. I once ordered - didn't turn up so collected. Ordered 6 months later - after a 10 min phone "conversation" of her accusing me of *insert offense. I don't speak her language so not sure* and the 3rd time I tried to order?? After 15 mins of arguing with this crazy insane lady I just snapped and told her to F off. I challenge anyone to NOT argue with her. It's a monty python sketch. The food was okay but you'll have no appetite from the stressful experience of dealing with that crazy crazy person.

Been coming here for years and never been disappointed. Staff are clear and helpful and service is always great. Other places can't match on price, service or quality. Feels authentic and it's halal!

Excellent experience, lovely food

I am very discussed with the food this time the chow mean did not have any meat hardly and the ribs was off very very s Ad to say but will never be getting from them again

This is the WORST takeaway I have been to. Where do I start? I ordered chicken wings and chips for £6.90. The chips and wings were plain and left a bad salty taste in my mouth. All the onions and chillies were at the bottom of the box. Absolute joke honestly, the food was not fresh at all. I came back in to the shop to address the issue with the women at the front who was wearing kitchen gloves covered with black marks, absolutely disgusting. In response to my concern all I was met with was and I quote 'NOT MY PROBLEM' this was repeated 2/3 times, she could definitely do with enrolling on some ESOL classes. Absolutely no customer service, of course it's your problem, if someone has a concern then do something about it, relay it back to your chefs. I urge you to stay away from this place, wish I could give BIG FAT ZERO RATING. STAY AWAY AND DO NOT WAATE YOUR MONEY HERE. WING HIEST IS ROUND THE CORNER, MUCH BETTER.

The women at the front is a ***! And the food is fit for her! Horrible

This place was recommended by one of my friend and highly recommended to others as well. Place my order on phone with the lady, who was super cool, friendly and polite....Food arrived on time, popping hot 🔥 with amazing taste...reminded me of my trip to China. Highly recommend their salt n paper hot wings or with King prawns, pulled beef with chilli 🌶 garlic sauce. Give it try guys you will love it and you can thanks me later.

The food if very delicious especially the prawns, and will be coming back here 😀

The women on the phone is kind and helpful, the food is always great and on point

I used to come here often. Was one of my favourite spots in bfd. 1. The lady who takes your orders laughs at you if you can't say the terms in a perfect Chinese accent. 2. Wears gloves and a mask.. But the gloves are black (no joke) because they're never washed or changed.. 3. They changed the satay skewers recipe.. That used to be their absolute best dish.. And now.. It ain't all that sadly. 4. Their last hygiene rating was horrendous.. Hopefully they get their act together.

Last night me and my friend went to this place as we were in the area. We used to come here years ago so we went for a bit of nostalgia. We ordered our food and sat down to eat, chatting away about days of old, all the while the lady behind the counter was playing tiktok videos full blast on her phone which was really annoying. Just as we were pretty much finished she pipes up "excuse me, be quiet" to which we replied "excuse me?", she followed it up with "its a take away not a restaurant!!! I want quiet". Baffled by this I asked her what the chairs and eating counters were for then? She didn't respond She was being louder than anyone with her tiktok videos so that clearly wasn't the issue. I told her she was very rude and we left, won't be coming again. Food was bland, nasty and tasteless too,much like the woman who served it.

Does one mean hot and sour soup

Just ordered got the food order is wrong really would avoid this Chinese

Absolutely disgusting customer service,the woman at the front ALWAYS looks at you like youre dirt.Then takes your order like YOU OWE HER!! And STILL gets the order wrong.. I drove home and found she had charged me vut didnt give a meal that was missing. When I called her back she was VERY rude and told me not to come again if i wasnt happy.AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE..plus I dont know what health and safety would say to the 3 year old walking through ghe kitchen out to the front and all over.

I just came to the UK for a month and I often order food in this shop. This shop has the taste of hometown.🇨🇳

Wouldn't say this was authentic Chinese food. Never in my life ordered hong kong roast duck and had it arrived in a super sweet gravy with beanspouts and onions in the gravy? C'mon man this is not a hard dish to make how can you get it so wrong?

Extremely rude member of staff!!!

Best chinese in halal bradford. Tasty and authentic!! Chicken fried rice, satay chicken skewers, amazing. Salt and pepper chips were crunchy and fresh. Got free chicken wings too!! Ive ordered a few times but they get better every time.

So we ordered from the Great Wall Chinese in Bradford as we always do every new years eve. The food is normally so delicious Yesterday we ordered. And we ordered early. Around 7pm. Food bill came to £45 and we waited an hour which was fine Food arrived warm. Not hot. One main was missing chicken chow mein When we rang tobletbthem know, the lady answering the phone told us to wait. We were left waiting on the phone for 7minutes When she came back she was very off and not listening When we finally managed to explain 1 main was missing send could we have it we were told we would need to wait another hour . We stated we were sitting down to eat and this would mean the rest of the food would go cold. Anyway she still said an hour An hour and half later still no food. We rang the restaurant continuously but it was constantly engaged and we could not get through. We sent a message on just eat but still nothing It is now the next day and we have had no apologies or reimbursement for the missing food Absolutely disgusted and angry at this as it not onky ruined our family meal but made everyone feel guilty eatung theirs as 1 person did not have theirs. The Great Wall needs to apologise and reimburse or offer a compensation meal for the family Very very poor customer service

Good standard of chinese food as usual

Never liked Chinese food before this place me and my husband absolutely love there food ,staff is straight forward but polite😊😋

Have been ordering from them for years and they have never failed me. Their battered satay chicken with fried rice and salt & pepper wings are to die for. Definitely recommend.

I have to leave this review since Corona lockdown started it's been closed and I am so sad , there isn't a Chinese that does halal food that comes even close to this place fortune cookies is so overrated here you have quality and quantity and amazing customer service and polite delivery drivers and the food just beats everywhere else , hoping you guys are well and re open soon !

Still my favourite place for Chinese food. Things don't seem to have changed much. But then why should they have? I still enjoy the prawn crackers that come free when you spend over £10 and the lack of communication between the older lady who works there.. she always makes me laugh. There are a few more places that have opened up in the same area, which i have sampled. However The Great Wall remains my favourite.

Can't fault this place. Have tried various dishes on the menu and have never been disappointed. The lady behind the counter always aims to please and is very polite and courteous. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

Phoned to place an order for the first time. The member of staff taking the call was extremely rude. I phoned back to speak with the manager, told there isn't one, only a boss who isn't available until midnight. Very disappointed to have been spoken to in such a rude manner when I enquired after how the chicken balls are made as not ordered from here before.

Called to ask whether they had the halal certificate and whether meat they served was stunned or not. Lady on the phone said 'dont know im not in the kitchen'. I very nicely asked whether someone in the kitchen may know the answer? She said 'you dont believe me if you dont believe don't order''. I said i believe you but need to know whether its stunned meat or not as halal has different types too. Lady kepy saying dont order if you dont believe and the conversation didn't go anywhere. I understand that she might know the different certifications but i as a customer have the right to ask for what halal certification they have if they claim to be halal. The lady was being very rude and un cooperative despite me trying to make her understand why i was asking what i was asking. Won't be ordering from here as my experience has shown there is no customer service. Note: 5-7 other places I've called before making orders and asked the same have been very forth coming and truthful and not taken offence to me asking which certification they had.

used to love buying from here until today. I’ve found hair embedded in the meat of a black bean sauce dish and the service back was appalling i was told there’s nothing that can be done because they’re ‘too busy’

Worst food I have tasted, person behind counter is not good.Dont waste your hard earned money.

Being chinese doesn't mean they can make perfect chinese food...total waste of money..wouldn't recommend

Good food with excellent portion sizes, highly recommend

Misery personified behind the counter, ages to wait for the frozen food to be thawed and fried, overall an awful experience

The Great Wall is a consistently great and authentic Chinese food experience which has so much to offer on its menu at a reasonable price and generous portions. I'm a big fan of the prawn toast, the crab and sweetcorn soup, the wontons, the spring rolls, the salt and pepper chicken wings and the Thai sweet chicken wings. The beef, ginger and spring onion dish and the crispy beef dish is brilliant. The Great Wall, in my opinion, does the best noodles (with beansprouts) in the City with a unique but hearty flavour, generous portions and very reasonable prices especially the free inclusions at certain price tiers. The Great Wall manages to produce a massive variety of food with almost 200 menu items and it has managed to do it consistently, year on year, meal on meal and will always be a favourite of mine. No other Chinese food establishment has yet to compete in the same ball park, yes that includes Fortune Cookie around the corner which is far worse than it's Leeds namesake. Would absolutely recommend The Great Wall in a heartbeat to any hungry punter.

Great Chinese and some Thai cuisine. A great variety of dishes. Good portion sizes and well priced. Halal food.

The best halal chinese in bradford 🥢🥢🥢

This takeaway was local to where I was staying overnight in a hotel. Parking was tight, not may places to park outside on the main road but manage to find somewhere eventually. Chinese lady at the counter, not very good at smiling or customer service. I ordered singapore fried rice with curry sayce on top and a side portion of salt and pepper chicken wings. Come to just under £10 which on reflection was pretty good as it was a large container for the rice and the portion of wings was quite a good size. Apart from the poor customer service, the food was really good 😊

The food was horrible and I found some weird meat in my food

The takeaway must changed chef. Sometimes food has no taste and sometimes too much salt. The woman answered the phone has no clue: "how long is delivery?" "I don't know". "what's in the dish?" "I don't know". The last time I went, they said my dish was "too much hassle to cook". I would never go back again. Finally, just a friendly advice... Do not go there if you haven't got 3 hours to wait for food delivery. Good luck.

Great food especially the Chinese menu

Quick delivery, very fresh, good sized portions , best Chinese in Bradford

Food is just ok. Customer service is not very friendly.

Lovely food specially beef fried rice

Ordered with just eat said it would be hour and a half I then rang them to cancel because of the time. The woman told me it could be only an hour just add on time just in case. I waited 2 hour!!!

Very good food. I like this place.

Order special fried rice with no chicken n no need just extra sea food and I got 3 prawns n 3 squid what a joke

We were in Brighouse for the weekend and booked a table for two. James welcomed us in. We were shown to a lounge area and ordered drinks. It is a very popular take away restaurant, which we took to be a good sign. Service is not quick, but all of the staff are very helpful and attentive and who wants to hurry a Chinese meal?

Fantastic Chinese food but not open late enough now on Saturday night

Fantastic food 🥘 One of the soup 🍜 is called “Thai Tom Yam Won Ton Soup”

Really delicious :) kind staff, highly recommended:D

It took 3hours to get my food, got home late from work, tired and I couldn't be bothered cooking so I ordered takeaway. What was the point!? As by the time it got here it was bedtime and past hunger....never again. I kept chasing and the lady just kept on saying just another 5 minutes, sorry, just another 5 minutes. What a joke of customer service.

The food is authentic Chinese and you can taste the difference. The staff are friendly. However there isn't much space to sit down so this has to be a takeaway more often than not. They do deliver so it's not an issue.

GOOD FOOD, WELL WORTH ITS VALUE, QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE! I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF CHINESE AND WE STILL DRIVE OUT THERE FROM LANCASHIRE JUST TO EAT RECOMMENDED! STILL WORTH GIVING IT A GO IF YOU LIKE CHINESE!

So, I ordered a takeout yesterday night, Peking special, Chow mien special, egg fried rice, salt and pepper chips*2. Now, I have to be honest the food was really nice, fresh, halal and spice was just right. Even though the food arrived very late it was steaming hot. The delivery guy was very apologetic and pleasant. We also received free prawn crackers and wings for ordering over £16. I would definitely recommend but pick up.

The food is fantastic. Food from the chinese menu is even better.

My friends and I are visiting and we were told by a local that the Great Wall was the best Chinese around where we were staying. I am not sure if this recommendation set the bar high but I felt quite disappointed. The price is amazing at £5.70 for a meal! Or £5 if you wanted boiled rice instead of egg fried. But I just felt that I have had better and my chicken in black bean was pretty standard and my rice was a little hard. Service was good and only waited 15 mins on a Friday night.

If amy is not working there don't order from here. I waited an hour when i was told 20 mins . Go to rawal on barkerend road if amy is not working on the day. She is the only one who knows how to run this place. The rest are useless. I won't be going here for a long time unless im desperate.

Often pick up a take away from here, always fresh, nicely seasoned, generous portions ans pipping hot - when picked up. Delivery wait can be a pain depending on the night of the week. But overall what a Great place the Great Wall is ; )

Over the years I have visited this place regularly. Depending on staff some may seem hard to order from however Amy is helpful. I now order from the Chinese menu as the food is much nicer than the standard menu. Food is piping hot and I tend to ask how long it will take and collect it myself. Reasonably well priced. If you spend over 17 pounds you get free wings and prawn crackers. There dies seem ti be mixed review, personally I have had no issues.

A takeaway with sitting in space, didn't know what to make of it as I prefer restaurants. However, was pleasantly surprised! A very generous portion was served and the service was quick and excellent. The food is clean and healthy, well flavoured but not overdone. it isn't the best place in the world, but at the end of the day it is a takeaway. Given that they focus on eating out, having the food served in a polysterene box wasn't so bad. Eating at the bar made the experience consistent with the product, and I can only say that if it was a restaurant then an addiitional star would be in order! Hopefully they improve, but at the end of the day the food was okay.

Food came before the estimated delivery service, which was a bonus. Ordered special fried rice, spring rolls,salt and pepper wings, chicken in black bean sauce and tasted delicious- so far it is the best Chinese I have tasted on Bradford. The portions are quite big so lasted us two days. Would definitely recommend it to friends!

We ordered take away as a family because the food is supposed to be nice, however much to our shock! It arrived almost 3 hours later! The lady on the phone reassuring us she'd given us free drinks for the inconvenience! ! It has snowed a little today which was also used as an excuse for a journey which is literally 10mins away! Then when the delivery guy arrives he asks us to walk down the street as his car can't get up?? Whatttt?? I was driving up and down our street with the tiny bit of snow we had! He expected us to walk down the street at 11pm to get the take away from him! I will never order or recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Abrupt and short service by two student Chinese Girls, kitchen looked manky. Trying to forget about it - only has a 2* Hygiene Rating.

This is my local Chinese takeaway. The chow mein and chicken corn soup are very nice. Ive also tried their king prawns and chips which is worth a try too. only thing is they dont have many soft drinks to chose from.

I placed a collection order from the great wall today. Ordered salt and pepper chicken wings starter, thai chicken crispy noodle main. Food tasted delish and as to my knowledge is the only halal chinese take away in bradford (they maybe others but this one is the only fully Chinese run take away) unlike others that are run by pakistanis with the food tasting more indian.This takeaway I found is popular and busy so could do with more staff and quicker service. The woman that took my order over the phone didnt have great English and said it would be ready in 15 mins but I arrived and it took a further 20 waiting for it because it was not ready. She did apologise for the delay when the food was finally ready and I left.The takeaway does have an extensive menu so might try something else, hope they can sort the service as would be a shame seen as though the take away is popular amongst locals.
