Great tasting food, good size portions at a decent price

Wow the food was amazing and big plates of food. And very helpful staff

·

The duck and pancakes was delicious but the rest of the meal wasn't very tasty and the staff were difficult to get hold of when we wanted another drink so we didn't get another one. We won't be back it wasn't very warm either

·

Great food and attentive staff! If anything, there was a little too much choice on the menu!

I feel so grateful that we found this Cantonese restaurant in Shetland and had real seafood meal finally! HK people are so crazy for seafood! But It’s hard to find seafood restaurant in Shetland yet Great Wall catered to make Hong Kong style dishes for us such as shell on Lobster fried noodles, steam fish, steam egg white crabs, and local HK style fried beef etc. But their usual dishes such as lemon chicken, fried wanton, dim sum, seafood soup are very nice too. They’re super busy on Friday and weekends so be sure to make reservations in advance. But if you go during weekdays sure you’ll got better attention from managers, that’s why we usually go during weekday nights. Both manager and owner very friendly and welcoming, hope we’ll be back one day.

Wow what meal! Whole family was really impressed. The ribs I had for a starter were tender, salty and spicy. I cook alot of ribs so I normally won't order other people's but mine were excellent.The beautiful wife had scallops as her main and said they were devine. Kids ate all their dinners and really enjoyed it. Very pleased we went here on a whim.

Well one year on I decided to take my family to Great Wall for an eat in meal. The food was very disappointing, every dish seemed over salted and lacking in distinctive flavours. The service from, what appeared to be the Manageress/owner was verging on surly...obviously not happy to accommodate a table of seven early in the evening. Won't be rushing back again.

Maybe we caught them on a bad night but this was not a 4.5 star experience. Ordered a wonton noodle soup, prawn toast and tempura soft shell crab. The noodles were soggy, way too much sesame oil in the soup and the wonton were tiny and had nothing but high fat pork in them, no ginger or prawn that I could taste or see. The toast was ok, the crab seems to have been done in plain batter but not tempura and weren't exactly bursting with flavour, just a lot of oil and water, making me wonder if they were fried from frozen. The teapots pour so poorly you end up with a puddle. Unlikely to come back, sorry.

First time trying and the service was great, food was tasty and hot. I had the crispy wonton (tasted like pork, usually I've had had prawn) also had pork satay with noodles. Was all very tasty. Would like to try more from full menu as I was there for lunch.

Tasty food.We had just some takeaway. Friendly woman at the counter. I showed here a picture of beef steak wirh onions. It is not anymore on the menu, but they cooked it for me. It was very tender and tasty. We paid much more for a tasteless and chewy steak at a hotel restaurant in Lerwick.
