Chinese, Vegetarian, Best Of, Locally owned, Menu

The Great Wall could be considered one of Halifax's seven wonders, turning out signature Cantonese and Szechuan dishes such as ginger fried beef, salt & pepper squid and General Tao chicken for over 20 years. The combination plates are great deals, ranging from $7.95 to $12.95 per, and the dim sum is superlative.
