From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  great-wall vi.,n. [from SF fandom] A mass expedition to an oriental
     restaurant, esp. one where food is served family-style and shared. There
     is a common heuristic about the amount of food to order, expressed as
     "Get N - 1 entrees"; the value of N, which is the number of people in
     the group, can be inferred from context (see {N}). See {{oriental
     food}}, {ravs}, {stir-fried random}.
