“I thought I had written a review for this place already, oops, my bad. I love, love, love this place! Came here on a weeknight and it was packed. I did not make reservation but we got lucky by snatching two chairs at the bar. It is small inside but worth the wait. The staff was super efficient and friendly, there were two girls and one guy. The guy helped us with drinks and ordering our food. I am so sorry I forgot his name, but you could tell how hardworking they all were. We both ordered Potsticker Duet (highly recommend): *shrimp, Angus beef, chives *tofu mushroom kale *dill pork *kimchi pork My favorite was dill pork, it goes well with old godmother hot sauce. Honestly all the potstickers were amazing and their list of dipping sauce was great too. A female chef (we think she is the owner) came out of the kitchen and asked us how we are doing, and she gave us some kimchi she made the same day for samplings. Everything was delicious and the drinks were top notch, of course I always get my favorite drink, old fashioned with Japanese whiskey. Superb place.“
“Great little restaraunt. The owners are very loving people and showed a lot of love to my two kids when we dined in. They gifted my kids some candy and toys. I truly appreciate the hospitality they shared with us. The food was great. We ordered the special pho which was delicious and the egg rolls were huge.We would definitely eat here again. Appreciate the owners for being such loving people.Kid-friendliness: They love kids“
“I completely love this restaurant’s menu, atmosphere, service. This restaurant gives me the best experience for hotpot buffet since I have moved to Stadium Village area! I am a mandarin speaker as a second language so I can speak mandarin with the other people that eat there and make friends with them! Wonderful and delightful atmosphere! The menu is full of delicacies that give me an adventurous feel everytime I eat something new there. I love the Taro Doushabao; taro buns! I always eat hotpot when I’m here and make friends with the servers and other guests that often eat here! Amazing experience that you must try once in your life!Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly“
“Excellent selection of food. If you are going to try it plan to come back. You can get a great lunch/dinner just trying their apps. The szechuan dumplings are amazing. The sauce can be used on the rest of your meal. All the dumplings are amazing.“
“This is a yummy new spot for us to enjoy!Try the fried noodles. That was our favorite dish. We also loved the scallion pancake. It was nice and crisp and had a light/non-greasy flavor. We found the whole experience enjoyable. The friendly staff and very clean environment will have us back again as well.“
“I ordered this through doordash.Their Pork Eggroll is HUGE! and has lots of flavor, and it's crunchy not rubbery! their sesame chicken is also amazing! Best Chinese chicken I've ever had ! very crunchy and lots of flavor! I will definitely order from here again ! only reason for 4 stars is I specifically asked for utensils and didn't get any so I had to go around asking coworkers in hopes they had a fork! But food is well worth ordering again!! Highly recommend!“
“I have been searching for the best Chinese food spot as I recently moved. All I can say is China Tiger is it hands down. There’s a few spots around the area I have loved, and other areas in other cities I constantly vouch for people to drive 45 minutes for if need be. However, I had the biggest surprise after ordering my food today. The House Egg Foo Young is the best I’ve ever had in my life and I used to work with natives of China when I taught at an immersion school a few years back, this food reminded me EXACTLY of their home styled Chinese/Asian cooking made fresh every day. The spicy garlic chicken and vegetables was amazing as well, hands down this will be my go to spot to order (I had to stop eating my food just to make sure I gave them the recommendation immediately because I’m at a loss for words over this Chinese Cuisine).“
“Everything was top notch. Quality and tasteful interior, large seating area, both booths and many tables.They have an extremely large dining area and a full bar. The staff was professional and friendly. My daughter and I had an early dinner there and the food was fabulous.I have owned 6 restaurants in my younger days. Owning a successful restaurant these days is a tremendous responsibility. I applaud them for their hard work.As we were leaving the dinner crowd was streaming in the door. It's a breath of fresh air to have this classy restaurant in White Bear Lake.“
“I'm a huge fan of pho ! This is my go to place their broth is delicious and sweet. I also have an obsession for their cream cheese wontons. Service is great every-time staff is very nice. I recommend if you want to try pho for the first time !“
“Very delicious food. Ordered shrimp lo mein,sweet and sour pork,beef and broccoli, fried chicken wings, and cream cheese wontons. 8 out of 10 overall. Small restaurant. Customer service was great. Please support this family owned business. Large is very large, I found out.Parking: It is located in a strip mall. Plenty of parking.“
“This Cantonese restaurant is not to be missed. We stumbled upon it when over by the U of M and couldn’t have been more impressed with the delicious food. We’ve been here several times now and our must-order is the salt and pepper beef short ribs hot pot,(picture included). The beef is so tender and perfectly seasoned, coming with onions, peppers, and a side of rice of course. Other dishes have been very enjoyable too. The staff is kind, quick to attend to you when you arrive, and clearly the cooks are experts in their field. What’s nice about here too is that it has a good dining atmosphere with a lot of eat-in patrons, not just operating primarily as a takeout joint like many Asian restaurants do. Highly recommend!“
“my fiancé and i love bills. we order their orange chicken for takeaway when we watch movies such as the vagrant and final destination 5. we have also had the cream cheese wontons which are great. real little pieces of orange peal in the orange chicken.“
“Dumplings and dim sums were a great hit....loved it! Totally worth the price and the customer service is the best. I can't wait to go again! Very authentic and the pig intestines were the best I've had in a long time! Very crispy and flavorful duck , too!“
“I grabbed take out and everything was great. I ordered the chocolate wontons, Szechuan wontons, wonton noodle soup, chicken with black bean sauce and lo mein, and shrimp fried rice. The portions are huge and everything was fresh and flavorful.“
“The sign was not lit up so it’s not visible until you’re on top of the restaurant. We were greeted right away with a friendly smile and the food came out quick. We ordered the appetizer platter, didn’t care for the chicken wings, the breading was weird, but everything else was fine and you nothing tasted greasy. We shared the Triple Kung Pao that was beef, shrimp and chicken. It lacked spice but the flavor was good. It came with a nice size bowl of white rice. Canned soda only. Staff was lovely.“
“Loved the food. Best eggrolls I have ever head. And the wonton soup was so comforting on a cold wet day. The women who took my order and rang me out was friendly. She was very thankful for my business and when I paid and tipped in cash she gave me a chocolate truffle as a thank you. I will be returning to the place to try more food. The inside of the restaurant could use a little work in my opinion and I should have asked for the prices and receipt but it wasn’t a big deal for a small first time order“
“Wonderful quality at a great price! We called in an order closer to closing and the owner was kind enough to fulfill our request! You get great portions for a very affordable price, they have standard Asian American staple dishes as well as some creative options as well! We got beef chow fun (very tasty) chicken chow mien (chunky and NOT mush) and curry crab puffs (SO GOOD). A great find, I will definitely be a new regular!“
“Phenomenal! Fantastic! Superb! Delectable! Fabulous! Joyous! This restaurant is an absolute gem. A hidden gem in Roseville. Friendly staff! Tons of food! Great experience! More food than the average college dude can eat in a sitting. Worth driving across the world for. A must visit!“
“Authentic Chinese restaurant! Portions are really big and 1 dish is good for 3-4 people. Atmosphere is great. It can get really busy during peak hours but the wait is short and they accept reservations. Don't go home before tasting there free dessert at the end of the meal!“
“I tried the beef fat noodle dish. The crunchy noodles are so good, and then they soak up the savory sauce. I will be craving this dish for some time. Service was excellent, place was clean. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating was its spendy. $18 for lunch.Parking: If it’s busy, you can park in the next lot.“
“This place has some very delicious asian food. They also have some good vegetarian and vegan options. The only problem is the menu! they do have any menu, they have some items written on the back wall, but it does not have all their items. The food is very delicious and I must say that they make the BEST Lo Mein in town. The price is very reasonable and its your wallet friendly.“
“Please was a favorite growing up in South Minneapolis. My family would always order from here. It does seem like it’s taking a step back from his heyday. I don’t know if it’s new ownership or not but I’ve ordered the same meal for nearly 15 years and it seems like the food is only ok. Very impersonal but it is take out so maybe that’s to be expected.“
“I’ve been coming here since 2019, this is the only place I will get Chinese food from, in this this area. Always friendly, food is always made fresh, you can even watch while he makes it! Online website is super easy to navigate, making pick up sooo easy. 10/10Parking: They have curbside parking, in case you do not want to go inside“
“Warm and friendly family owned environment with massive portions of top quality cuisine. Pad Thai, Pho broth and a massive sushi / sashimi boat were shared by our group with plenty of food to take home. A visit to the table by the sushi chef and owner was an added bonus. MUST visit!“
“I came here since I was a child. So, the service is alright, they forget our drink, but we reminded them politely. The Atmosphere is fine. The food is OK, it's just that some of the food looks a bit off, but it's edible and delicious at least for me. 2 people for nearly 45 dollars isn't that bad. They have fruits, fried food, vegetables, sea food, and desserts. I'm giving this a 5 star since the food is delicious and there was no rude employees.“
“Best chowmeain restaurant ever I been going eating here since I was a kid 40 years ago wow still kicken it go Leo's best Chinese food around stop here for Chinese food great staff prices and more family known businesses thanks 5 star more like 100 “
“My car broke down light one night and I was stranded in -35 degree weather. The people here welcomed me inside even though they were closing and let me wait in the warmth. They even brought me a cup of hot water. They were very kind when I was in need.“
“Only 3 stars for atmosphere because we can’t dine in but I totally understand why. This place is exceptional! Definitely a top five favorite. I moved to this area early last summer and everytime I’ve been here it is consistent, fresh and hot in the to go bag. If I buy sesame chicken, it will last me three days and it’s a very reasonable price. I will have to try more than the few items I’ve tried. What a great spot and such nice people “
“About a month ago I was here with my dad and I had fried rice (I think chicken). It was delicious!!! I noticed more people were taking food to-go than actually dining-in. The portion was a good portion and the price was decent. My dads been coming here for a while and I can see why. I would totally recommending to give this place a shot. :)“
“It was my first visit. I called in an order for take-out. I ordered 2 dishes. Mongolian beef and General Tso's chicken. Though not really a Chinese dish, General Tso's chicken is kind of a benchmark dish for comparing restaurants. The portions were generous. Though not a major cost, I appreciated the sides of white rice that came with the meal. They were easily twice what I have received at other places. It is definitely a take-out restaurant. They have a handful of tables for dine in. Will keep them in mind for future visits.“
“My husband and I took our two grandkids (5 and 2) out for dinner for the 5 year old's birthday. The staff was helpful suggesting kids portions. They even gave us frosted fortune cookies. A perfect night.Kid-friendliness: They gave us a wet towel to clean messy faces that we couldn't clean with napkins.“
“My deceased grandfather's favorite takeout. I love to go now and then for old times sake, bland but filling. Tasty if you like "American Chinese food" This is old school takeout Chinese. The stuff American servicemen back from the war made a staple for so many families from the 50s through the 80s. I'm nearly 60 and I went there with my grandfather as a child. The guy who founded it still ran it then. The food is hot and filling and the portions are big! Which is nice. The only drawbacks are NO CREDIT CARDS or electronic payment of any kind, they do take checks, but when is the last time you saw a checkbook? The other is they need an option for some more seasoning. They assume like most places that Minnesotan "Chow Mein" customers like traditional Midwestern blandness. I know they can make spicier food, but I don't know how to ask. They don't speak much English, and I'd like to find a way to say "Its wonderful, but please more seasoning in the chow mein"“
“Got take out here for the first time. Food was great and portions were above par for sure! I especially enjoyed the crab rangoons (cream cheese wontons with crab) and the Mandarin Chicken Combo. I’m not really a fried rice person but this fried rice was awesome:) will come again!“
“I had to take my two toddler children to lunch. This restaurant had exceptional for vegetarian food ! The owner and his wife made my children feel so welcomed and loved. The food was delicious, fresh, and satisfying! I highly recommend this for take out for families! We are vegetarians and we would go again in a heart beat!!!! We had alot of leftovers.Vegetarian options: Lo Mein and friend rice!“
“Been getting delivery from here for about a year or so and I am rarely disappointed (I’ve never gotten BAD food, just sometimes it doesn’t slap AS HARD as others but it’s always good) . The General Tso chicken is always delicious, and the orange chicken has a good balance of spicy and sweet. Hot and sour soup is DELICIOUS, so is their cheese rangoons and donuts. They always deliver to me lightning fast with PIPING hot food. Literally the only Chinese place we order from and the prices are crazy low. I can’t believe how much food we get for such low amounts.“
“Their dumplings are a meal in itself. The absolute thickest dumplings I have found in the area and goes good with their legit chili oil dipping sauce. I would not be surprised if they handmade these themselves. I like their thick lomein noodles too.More of a "To-Go" place but they do have a few small tables you can eat at inside.“
“They are such an adorable family run restaurant that always has amazing food!!! I live nearby and often walk over to get food and they are so welcoming! Im a big supporter of small businesses cause my family grew up with a small business so you can say i have an affinity maybe even a bias towards small mom n pop shops!“
“My favorite restaurant in the city. A hidden gem. I get the coconut curry with mock duck or the cashew one (vegan enough for me). Flavor is so good. Portions will have you full. Service is very kind. Usually quiet and peaceful. Parking available in the back.Vegetarian options: Most items can be made vegetarian/vegan“
“I've ordered from here multiple times, and food is delicious. However, their quantity for the price is smaller IMO. I do notice that if you order through Uber eats or google via pick-up, prices are way higher vs. Call-in. Sketchy from this standpoint. Dont expect top-notch customer service (it's zero to none). Lastly, this other time, I placed an order for pickup and the gal checking me out requested for tip so be prepared to tip! (Ridiculous since it's a pick-up order). The roast pork & eel over fried rice, beef chow fun, and jumbo shrimp are my favorite. ?“
“Service is not always great but the sesame chicken is the best I've ever had. I've been here 3 times in the last month just for the sesame chicken. It's that good. I'm sure there are other good items on the menu but I keep coming back for the same thing. It's crispy and always has the perfect amount of sauce. The fried rice has a bit too much black pepper for my taste but is still pretty good as well.“
“My go to take out place since 2016 when I was in college. Their Pad Thai is one of my favorites in the Twin Cities - I crave it all the time! Perfect Vietnamese egg rolls too. Owners are always extraordinarily sweet and welcoming! Can't say enough good!“
“Wanted to eat local in Minneapolis. Looked online for Chinese food in this had a high rating. The reading sad that the atmosphere was very basic, and it is. But who cares when the food is as good as it is! If you like Chinese food and you’re in the Minneapolis/st Paul area put this on your list of restaurants to try.I ordered the potstickers (see picture) and Chicken Kung Pow. Both were amazing!“
“Lao Sze Chuan makes some of the yummiest Sichuan food. Sichuan food is savory and spicy the Sichuan peppercorn makes your tongue tingling. It's something to become accustomed to because most people are use to eating HK style food and American Chinese which focuses on salty and sweet flavor profile. I enjoy the mapao tofu and sichuan boil fish. I always order these two!“
“I discovered this in the skyway while walking around during lunch. Their pho is delicious! One of the top in the Twin Cities. (I’m Vietnamese, I’ve eaten a lot of pho around town). The taro boba is fragrant and delicious too. I’m excited that they have bun Bo hue on the menu, I’ll try that next time. Service is great. It’s a clean space. This is my go-to lunch spot in downtown Saint Paul.Bonus that they’re open until 4pm while nearby food options close by 1:30pm. There are work days when I don’t have time for lunch until 2pm.“
“I've never been to the physical restaurant, but I always order the pho soup through Uber Eats, they give super generous portions and the soup is always so tasty, I started ordering the soup about 7 times a month, not to mention the price is affordable !! You can try this restaurant, it's worth every penny :)“
“The food here is delicious and the lunch mean prices are unbeatable!!!! They have a wide variety of Chinese entrees during lunch time for $6-$8 and it comes with white rice or chicken fried rice. This place is always busy and there is a reason why! Highly recommend!“
“We really lucked out with this place! We moved into the neighborhood and stumbled across this amazing restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. Our service was fantastic and speedy. We’ve become frequent flyers for sure. 10/10 highly recommend Xin Wong! The really nice family that runs the place are so sweet. See you soon! :) Thank you for all the tasty treats.“
“Always great food prepared fresh! Looks like a typical hole in the wall Chinese food place, but I've been very happy with the food quality & only ever do takeout anyways, so I don't care about the atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Several options for vegetarian, and they are particular to make it separately as wellKid-friendliness: My kids like the food just fine“
“Good restaurant. Service was great. Restaurant clean. They have a nice menu selection. I got combination #5 which is chicken chow mein, sweet & sour chicken, 1 egg roll and fried rice. Egg roll was my favorite followed by sweet sour chicken. The chow mein and fried rice were also good. Coke products served but in a can so you will pay more if that is not enough for you. There is plenty of parking. I enjoyed my dinner and would go back.“
“Was craving sushi and Chinese, so decided to check this place out. I ordered to go and the food was still hot and crispy when I got home. The quality of the general tso’s chicken was really fresh, cream cheese wontons had lots of filling, and the fried chicken was flavorful, crunchy and juicy. Also, the sushi roll‘s rice to fish ratio was perfect! Will be back to try other dishes ?“
