We ordered a quart of Vegetable Friced Rice, an order of “Crab cheese angles*”, and a pint of Vegetable Lo Mein. 

I don’t have the menu handy at the moment, but we’ll put up the vegetarian run-down up here soon. There was a fair selection of vegetarian items. I imagine that if you wanted to make a substitution, and it was simple enough that the language barrier wasn’t a problem, you could probably do it. (I’ve had other restaurants substitute tofu for chicken on a couple items before.)

I would not recommend this restaurant (for takeout).

Additional Notes

One thing I think is worth noting is that the buffet at Great Wall is going to be not economically feasible for veg*ns, particularly on Sunday. Buffet from Mon-Sat is ~$7, but on Sunday, because of the seafood buffet items, it jumps to just under $10. The pickings are slim for entrees — Lo Mein, Fried Rice, Crab Cheese Angles, POSSIBLY Moo Goo Gai Pan also. The restaurant must understandably disperse the cost of all food on the buffet to each patron, but since we veg*ns have a limited subset to choose from, you may want to pass on the buffet and order takeout instead.

* I’m pretty sure that the Crab Cheese Angles are just cheese with seasoning — although I suppose it’s possible they contain a small amount of haddock or other processed fish meat. Does anyone know for certain? They really don’t taste sea-foody at all.

Most of their offerings are meat-oriented, but they do have a few items that are meatless (and tasty!), I’ll list them all at the bottom, for reference.

We had the Mozzarella Fritti (fried cheese) for our appetizer (antipasta!) and I chose the Gnocchi in Alfredo, while Melissa chose the Eggplant Parmesan with a side of “Galo’s Chopped Salad”.

From the perspective of an herbivore, the experience was pleasant. There were a good variety of menu items to choose from so we didn’t feel limited to just ordering side items. While we didn’t need to ask for any substitutions, I felt comfortable enough with the experience that if I had a reasonable request for something to be left off or substituted, they would probably accommodate me easily.

I would recommend this restaurant.

Additional Notes

Although we didn’t order it this time, one item that is a must-try is their “Pasta Mediterranean.” From the menu:

Penne pasta tossed with feta cheese, asparagus, sun dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and olive oil.

It is delicious. The portion looks small when you get it, but it’s very satisfying.
