Contrary to some other reviews I have found a lot of the dishes to have more flavour since new ownership. Not just more salt and MSG, actual flavour. Always very friendly staff. I guess it might depend on what you order but I would still recommend The Great Wall. I've tried the restaurants around Haslemere and Liphook and lived in London 20 years. It is certainly no worse than most others I've had in the same price range. It's not really Chinese food, none of the takeaways are, but on the grand scale of things I think it's still worth frequenting.

After initially being disappointed with the quality of food from the new owners. I stopped going here. I returned a month ago and the last three takeaways I have had have been exceptionally good. The food has now improved hugely and It is back to being my go to Chinese takeaway in the area. I would suggest it is better than ever. Thank you for the improvement.

After my first visit in several months), I found that they had been redecorated (and not to my personal tastes), upped the price of the food (£5.80 for chicken chow mein!), replaced the regular recyclable boxes with plastic (which look like they slightly reduce the portions), and the usually lovely chicken chow mein now tastes subpar and oily.I suspected that they might have had new owners take over (as I also didn't recognise the person on the till) and there are mentions on trip advisor about Great Wall stating that the old owner retired.This is a huge shame. I used to love Great Wall; very friendly service, delicious food (my favourite Chinese takeaway or restaurant I've ever been to), very reasonable prices, and the owner always remembered me whenever I would come in for something.Now, I fear that if they ARE under new ownership, then that means my favourite Chinese will be dead. From tasting two items I had there today, I would cautiously advise to go there if it's convenient, but be warned that if my suspicions are accurate, the food will be average and not the high quality it used to be.

Used to be great but since a change of ownership has gone downhill almost overnight

Wow what a change, new people have taken it over, I have been using this Chinese for many years 30 mile round trip because its the best around, I was greeted by a happy gentleman but quickly realised it wasn't the same lovely old owners, He promised the food better than before and that's a big statement, it wasn't in the slightest it was greasy and bland and so expensive unfortunately still charging the same as previous owners with terrible food, I'm paying for it today and my sons not at school, Goodbye Great Wall but I won't be returning, if the old owners see this thanks for many yummy years and I wish you the best in retirement.Some advice for the new owners its lived off an amazing reputation please don't spoil it your food needs looking at.

A good choice of dishes which are tasty and seem very freshly prepared and not stodgy or heavy.

Delicious Chinese takeaway, friendly service and quick. Ordered over the phone and only took 20mins (although it was a Tuesday). The food was very high quality. My husband said it was the best Shredded Beef he's ever had! The Shrimp Chow Mein was extremely yummy. Also the shrimp toast was fantastic.

The best Chinese takeaway in Surrey! The fact that it's been around for a couple of decades speaks volumes. Food is always hot, consistent and delicious, there's always plenty, too. The owners are really friendly and extremely accommodating regarding my life-threatening nut allergy – they always remember the issue and ensure my food is safe each time we order.

New Year's Eve spoiled :-(We ordered at about 6pm and they said they were busy and that it would be ready at 7.40. Called nearer the time and they said 7.50. Arrived on time and paid, then to be told it wasn't ready yet. Another half hour wait in the shop before I could collect and leave only to get home and find chicken gf noodles instead of the veg gf we ordered, so my daughter had to go without.I know they were busy but they should have been honest about the delay and let me know it wasn't ready BEFORE asking for payment. God help anyone with allergies or dietary requirements. I won't chance it again.
