After four closings, and two revocation hearings, the Board of Health has closed the doors on Great Wall Asian restaurant.
The Northborouth Board of Health voted unanimously on Wednesday night to revoke the food license for Great Wall, an Asian restaurant located at 259 West Main St. "I have no confidence in this restaurant at all—none," said Glenn French, board member. "I don’t think they can straighten their act out. I don’t see any other arguments to be made. They had their chance, they had their opportunity, for good or bad, they had it, and they blew it. I gave ‘em a chance. I was overly optimistic that I thought this thing would straighten itself out. It’s the operators fault that this happened with the restaurant. It’s been a long time coming and it’s not a surprise, and I don’t have any kind words to put to it." The decisive, stern words came from …

Health Agent Jamie Terry reports that a recent inspection of Great Wall resulted in its closure. It will face a second revocation hearing on June 6.
Great Wall, the Asian restaurant on Main Street, was closed on Wednesday evening after an inspection resulted in three "critical violations" by the Board of Health.

One refrigeration unit read at a temperature of 50°F, and in the fridge were three food items that temped between 49°F and 52°F, according to Health Agent Jamie Terry.

In a hearing that lasted for more than two hours, two of the three board members voted to give the restaurant a "…

The Board of Health voted 2-1 not to revoke Great Wall's food license.
In an act of leniency, the Board of Health will allow Great Wall Restaurant a last, last chance at keeping its business open. Voting two to one, after a two-hour plus hearing, the board is allowing the restaurant one last chance to completely clean up its act. Board members Glenn French and Dilip Jain voted in favor of letting the restaurant keep its food license, under strict provisions. Deirdre O'Connor voted no. "You are setting a precedent for how far a restaurant can push this," said O'Connor. "I am not willing to put the public at risk anymore. I understand that it's a question of livelihood versus lives." Great Wall will be on probation, as it was, until the board's next meeting in June, during which time it must implement a day of …
