New favorite in Chinatown! Highly recommend the BBQ on Rice if you have a hard time choosing one option. You get to choose up to 3 different BBQs and comes with steamed rice, soup, salted egg, and bok choy. The food was so good that we ordered an additional pound of BBQ Pork and Roasted Duck to go. Service was fast and friendly! Definitely our new go-to spot for Cantonese BBQ!

Some of the best cantonese bbq I've ever eaten in my life. The roast pork was so tender and sweet. The soy sauce chicken perfectly done with great flavor. Comes with bok choy and a hard boiled egg. And a side of soup. And it was only around $10. Can't beat that value. Highly recommended.

The new and remodeled Great Wall BBQ is a must try. I found my new go to spot for chicken noodle soup. It has been a long time since I was able to find a place that makes thin broth noodle soup with chopped chicken. They have other bbq items too but I only come in for the chicken noodle soup! It’s $10 for a bowl of wholesome. Not a bad deal at all.

This place is a hidden gem! Their roast duck, roast pork and bbq pork are A-MAZING!!! Must check this place out! Next time I’ll take a pic of the food, once it came to my table I forgot to take pics because the food smelled so good and tasted incredible!

Hooray! Great Wall was closed for a while but now reopened at the same spot in the Chinatown Mall on Archer Avenue. This a simple restaurant with great traditional food. This being said, Great Wall has the best bbq pork (char siu) in Chicago. Tender and meaty with the ideal amount of fatiness intermingled in resulting in a perfect bite every time. The best way to enjoy it is to order a pound to go, open it up in your car and start eating those wonderful pieces of pork like they were potato chips, (or maybe that's the crazy way I do it). Any way you eat it, this is a must try. Duck is good also.

Amazing Peking duck. I've been here a couple times when I'm in Chicago and if you grab a bunch of sides and the Peking duck as a main dish you can have six to eight people leaving happy and full. it's so much food for such a great price in Chicago.

Classic Honk Kong BBQ. Their roasted meats are just like you get in Hong Kong. Staff are great. They don't speak much English so be patient. I accidentally paid double for my meal and called them a few weeks later. The owner felt bad and found a way to reimburse me even though I live out of town and couldn't come back. Good food and service.

OMG, I can’t believe “Great Wall” is back, it’s called New Great Wall with old chef and new ownership and management. Great Wall roast meat “燒臘” was the first HK style roast meat that I tried in US, and that was more than 20 years ago. The old was going downhill with the cleanliness and hygienic but the roast meat taste is unbeatable. I felt sad that it was shut down when we visited Chicago last year but what a surprise, it’s back with new ownership with nice updated decor and ownership. The taste of the three meats combo didn’t disappoint me at all, it’s so flavorful and we decided not to get anything to go so we can promise ourselves to come back for another visit in the near future. The three meats combo comes with half salted egg and daily soup. I felt a bit disappointed that they substituted the salted egg with the regular boiled chicken egg. I think they should notify people about the changes. But anything other than that, I LOVE my three meats combo meal. The restaurant also offer parking center ticket validation, you only need to pay $2 for Peking less than 3 hours. New Great Wall, please keep it up and maintain your quality, I’ll be back!

My friend and I came here for a quick lunch in chinatown and this place did not disappoint. We got the bbq over rice with 3 items: roast pork belly, bbq pork belly, and roast duck. It comes rice, bbq meats, veggie, an egg, and soup for less than $15. The star of the show here the roast pork belly with the perfect crunch skin and soft flavorful meat. I’ll definitely come back to try more of their items,especially the roast pork belly!

Newly renovated Chinese barbecue restaurant in the heart of chinatowns Square chicago. This spots specializes in all sorts of Cantonese Hong Kong style barbecue including the chicken pork roast pork and other assorted meat. barbecue items come in 1, or,3 item combos. Pro tip would be to take half a duck or a while duck home.

Want to eat something delicious and not break the bank? Then this would be the place to be at. Very affordable price for a great portion of food, don’t sleep on it!
From both the outside and inside of the restaurant, you can see the bbq meat and whole birds displayed in kitchen, just like how they do it in Hong Kong. For the rice dish, each order comes with soup du jour, steamed rice, veggie, and “salted” egg, which actually tasted more like tea eggs (it was yummy nevertheless). For just $8 you get a choice of meat, and only $2 to add another meat. I also wanted to try their silken tofu dessert but it didn’t happen. The staff were so helpful in helping us splitting the bill. They had also given me a generous amount of ginger scallion sauce (to add a little bit of ✨spice✨ to my siumei) upon request.
Most of the customers who came in ordered the meat for takeout instead of dining in. We also got some meat to-go and it was so inexpensive! This is definitely one of my new favorite spots. Even if I’m not dining in I would come back for the bbq meat to-go!
P.S. Everyone in your party has to show ID and vaccination proof to dine-in.

Love their bbq selection. Their BBQ pork and roasted pork were delicious. The cherry on top was their salted egg! Perfect combination with any protein. I loved their noodle soup and their broth did not disappoint! The noodles were al dente but their broth was the star. It was simple yet flavorful. I highly recommend trying their soup noodles.
If you dine in or take out, their rice box will come with complimentary soup. It was very hearty and perfect for a cold day.
Their workers and customer service are great! They are efficient and nice.

I went after my gym session and this is definitely a GO-TO place if you're just trying to get an amazing Chinese BBQ for lunch or dinner! The fact that I got a 2 meat over rice (BBQ Pork and Pork Belly) for a cheap price was so worth it! Honestly filling, especially with the soup and salted egg. I also would recommend the Tofu Pudding because it was very sweet. Good dessert right after! 10/10 would recommend!

I had the BBQ pork with rice noodle soup and it was so delicious! The broth is so rich in flavor. I’ve always loved their bbq pork since I was a child and it definitely brought back so many memories; it’s the same as I remembered it- so juicy and tender, perfect with the honey sauce. Definitely recommend!
