I had a great lunch! I ordered the pineapple duck, and it was nice. The sweet and sour sauce was purely sweet, but a few drops of soy sauce made the flavor more complete. I don't know how the fried duck stayed crunchy under all the sauce, but it made for an excellent experience. The serving was generous, so I took home half of my meal. When I sat down, I was given a glass of water and a pot of oolong tea, which made the experience feel cozy and special. My server was friendly and fast. I also enjoyed getting a fortune cookie with my bill. It may be cheesy, but I enjoy fortune cookies and seeing if they fit the day's occasion. It's definitely worth trying another dish someday! The decoration was homely, with various pretty paintings on the wall.
Minneapolis favorite for Chinese Food. Got carry out here and was very satisfied. I imagine dining is also a good experience. In a pretty urban neighborhood, so parking could be a hassle. I know it was in terms of doing pick up. Fortunately, we had a separate driver who could wait outside while we picked up the to go order. Would definitely eat here again.
Great place for Cantonese-style dishes, this was one of my parents' fave places to dine at when visiting. Recently, I stopped by for take out and had two excellent dishes: beef chow fun with Chinese broccoli and beef with mustard greens. Fun place to go with a group so you can eat family style and try different dishes. In the past, I've also really enjoyed their mushu pork but that's better when served at the restaurant.
Came here for lunch with the fam. Classic Chinese restaurant with simple good cooking. We ordered saute morning glory with garlic/ginger, sesame chicken, pork with veggies & garlic sauce and mafo tofu. The portions were huggeee, enough to feed 5-7 people. Had to call a friend to help us eat. The mafo tofu was slightly sweet for my taste. They gave plenty of ground pork; the most out of all the Chinese restaurants within a 20 miles radius. Taste is a preference thing and I would’ve like it more if they had put some sichuan pepper in this dish. I had to add their chili oil to make it my liking and reduce the sweetness. Sesame chicken: flavor was on point. All Chinese restaurants do this: some of the chicken pieces had no chicken in them. Just fried dough coated with sauce (can be deceiving to make it look like a lot of food on the plate). Morning Glory: I grew up on this dish, no complaint. Saute pork with veggies garlic sauce: best dish of the meal. We took left over home and it tasted even better 7 hours later.
My husband and I just ate lunch here and I can’t wait to go back to try more of their menu. I have to say this is the best Chinese food we’ve tried in Minneapolis. They have a lunch special menu with amazing pricing as well.
The dining room area could use a little bit of an update. They have multiple little banquet rooms for larger parties. “Service with a smile” made it more welcoming and comfortable. I ordered so much food!!! I do this all the time when I go to a new place. I want to try it all! The plates in the photos were SO good! Singapore noodles, half order of steamed Chinese broccoli, salt n peppa wings, and crispy golden garlic with shrimp. I have a ton of leftovers and plan on eating this beautiful food for the next couple of days. This is a definite “get in my YAP” as fast as you can moment with tiny chopsticks at hand. I’m coming back to try more dishes once my leftovers are all eaten up. Whist with me?!?! Oh… My… Dang!
Good. The roast pork is good; it tastes just like the roast pork from my home country. I really like it. I hope the restaurant adds more to this plate.
*** Each person has a different taste *** This is the second time I have eaten in this restaurant. The staff is very nice and friendly. If you have difficulty choosing dishes, you can ask the staff for advice. Their food tastes good. But for me, some dishes taste a little salty, even though I eat with white rice.
