The Great Wall in the early 2000s used to be so good. What are the best Chinese food spots in Baton Rouge?

Probably belongs on the F & D Board, but man I did love some Great Wall back in the day.

Probably better places in BR and IIRC the place has taken its hits here, but I do like Oriental Pearl on Sherwood and Coursey.

BR Chinese has taken a nose dive. I think the older establishments closing had s as lot to do with that.

True but they went down hill rapidly and in a disgusting way.

Tried Cheng's on Essen/Calais the other day. Not bad.

But I feel like there are better ones around.....

The Great Wall was awesome. Goddamn Advocate and their misleading health inspection reports.

I believe he’s the nephew or relative of the old Hunan clan. I’d say they’re the best left in BR

Speaking of college and Chinese, I used to hit up that hole-in-the-wall restaurant on Highland by the BRPD station a ton.

Red Flower, IIRC?

The Great Wall

I sometimes dream about those phoenix rolls. The original location prior to the Walmart move was our staple. I’m guessing we were in there at least twice a month. Also, DeAngelo’s calzones were a solid alternative opposite there. The chicken ruspante and sensation salad were my favorites.

I remember at the first location they used to be sitting at a table in the dinner room cutting the green beans. I'm sure that was a violation, didn't matter, everybody was fine.

I think maybe the older generation of owners or their kids figured out a more lucrative business model to apply. Robert Kraft knows what I’m talking about.

Back in the late 2000's/early 2010's, there was a Chinese place off of Burbank in the same shopping center as Mellow Mushroom.

Their $5 lunches kept me fed my last couple of years in school.
