The Great Wall has fallen and in its place stands Yen Ching Village.

The Chinese food restaurant, located at 901 Lucinda Ave., underwent new management on Oct. 1 and is now Yen Ching Village. Caroline Zinger, the owner and manager, said the restaurant’s sign will change sometime this week. Zinger said she’s been looking for this location for many years. She is also the owner of the Yen Ching restaurant, 810 Lincoln Highway.

“The latest Great Wall owners wanted out so bad, since the summer months were so slow for them, it drove them nuts,” Zinger said. “So it was the perfect opportunity to expand here for the students.”

With the new management came changes to the menu as well. The Great Wall restaurant had a traditional Cantonese style of cooking, whereas Yen Ching Village leans toward a Mandarin way of cooking.

Antoinette Thomas, freshman business marketing major, said she does not personally like the new food or service.

“It’s not The Great Wall anymore,” Thomas said.

Despite the changes to the style of cooking, Zinger said the restaurant owners pride themselves on using fresh, high-quality products. The products may be more expensive but there will never be anything precooked at the restaurant, she said.

The use of expensive yet high-quality products is why the buffet has yet to open, she said. The demand for the buffet is not enough for the owners to be able to afford running it all the time. Zinger said the buffet is available for events like birthdays or graduation parties.

Zinger said the restaurant is not making bigger profits than the previous owners. The only other people working at the restaurant include her sister and brother-in-law, who share ownership of the restaurant, and two delivery drivers. Zinger said she measures the restaurant’s success on the customers. The feedback from customers has been mostly good, with about 75 percent of them being repeat customers, she said.

Yen Ching Village has the motto “small community in capital” Zinger said. She said the restaurant being a part of the community is important. She loves seeing young people come in and out ordering the food. Most of the people order the orange chicken or General Tso’s chicken, since they are the top-selling meals at the restaurant, Zinger said.

Freshman acting major Jaelyn Hawkins said she’s visited the restaurant before and the food wasn’t bad. She said she was not satisfied with the lateness of a delivery order she made at one time.

“But I understand they are going through a transition so I would definitely go there again,” Hawkins said.
