“ If you’re craving that nostalgic Seoul-meets-Beijing flavour, The Great Wall on Steeles just west of Yonge, absolutely delivers. Every dish here tastes like it came straight out of a classic Korean drama dinner scene — bold, savoury, and perfectly balanced. The Jajangmyeon is rich and smoky with just the right touch of sweetness, and the Jjamppong packs that signature spicy seafood kick that wakes up your senses. Portion sizes? Generous. Service? Warm and no-nonsense — exactly how it should be. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t try too hard, because it doesn’t need to. One visit and you’ll understand why regulars keep coming back. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, The Great Wall is an instant mood-booster and easily one of the best Korean-Chinese spots in the GTA. ”
“ We love to come to the Great Wall and always bring an empty container because their portion is big for me and my kids. 찹쌀 탕수육(Sticky rice Tangsuyuk) was really chewy. Best in town. 짜장면 (Jajangmyeon) and 짬짜면 (jjamjjamyeon) are as good as they can be. ”
“ Love the food here. Taste got so much better. And I recommend you to try Tangsuyuk! ”
“ We went here on a Saturday night and although it was packed, we had a table right away. The servers were very kind and accommodating. The food came relatively quickly thanks to their electronic menu. I was surprised as the jajangmyun was very flavorful. They don't skimp on the meat and the noodles was cooked al dente. Highly recommend. ”
“ Based on my personal experience on the day I visited, the servers were friendly and attentive. I ordered jajangmyun and ganjajang, and they were pretty hefty in portion, not to mention its good taste. Their tangsooyook was pretty impressive because not only did it taste damn good, but the portion was a lot for a small size. I'd come back here any day. ”
