🏮 Charlotte’s Premier Chinese Food Hall Experience
Great Wall brings three generations of traditional Chinese cooking expertise to Alley 51 International Food Hall. Since opening in June 2024, we’ve become known for our authentic roasted duck display and hand-pulled noodles made fresh throughout the day. Our chefs trained in Guangzhou before bringing their techniques to Charlotte’s most innovative dining destination.
🦆 Live Cooking Display
Watch our master chef prepare hand-pulled noodles and see our signature roasted ducks hanging in the traditional style. We’re the only food hall vendor offering live cooking demonstrations during peak hours.
🥢 Regional Specialties
Beyond typical American-Chinese dishes, we serve authentic Cantonese BBQ, Sichuan ma po tofu, and Beijing-style zhajiangmian noodles – specialties rarely found in Charlotte.
Food Hall Hours
Hours may vary during holidays. Call ahead to confirm availability.

What Customers Say About Our Food Hall Location
“Finally found authentic hand-pulled noodles in Charlotte! The chef actually stretches them in front of you – my kids were mesmerized. The beef noodle soup rivals what I had in Taiwan. Worth the drive from Ballantyne just for this experience.”
“This food hall concept is brilliant. Great Wall’s duck pancakes while my wife had Vietnamese pho at the next stall. The communal seating creates this amazing multicultural dining atmosphere you can’t get anywhere else in Charlotte.”

“Been coming weekly since they opened. The mapo tofu is legitimately spicy and authentic – not dumbed down for American palates. Staff remembers my order and always asks if I want extra Sichuan peppercorns. That’s real customer service.”
