About The Great Wall
Tucked a short walk from Chinatown MRT, The Great Wall is a mid-priced Chinese restaurant that blends Cantonese roast-stall classics with fiery Sichuan signatures. The vibe is warm and bustling — air-conditioned dining hall with a mix of wooden tables, a few private rooms for reunions, and an open kitchen where woks sing during the dinner rush.
The crowd is a mix of neighbourhood families on weekends, CBD lunch-goers grabbing quick set lunches during the week, and groups celebrating birthdays or family dinners. Portions are family-style and made for sharing, so expect lively tables, dishes arriving in waves, and a menu that suits everything from a casual weekday meal to a special occasion dinner.
What makes it feel Singaporean is how it sits in Chinatown’s lively tapestry: it’s a modern interpretation of kopitiam-style convenience and zi char conviviality, with Cantonese steamed fish and roast duck alongside mala prawns and mapo tofu. Locals drop by for weekday set lunches, book private tables for reunion dinners, or swing past after work for comforting noodles and a pot of Chinese tea.
