50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Golden Valley

“I am from the east coast and for the first few years couldn’t find a good Chinese restaurant until Ju Yuan. I’m from Miami and lived in NY, NJ and DC and this is such a fantastic find! I can’t do spicy anymore but if you like spicey, just put it in the notes. They are awesome!!“

“Visited the Golden Valley, MN location after a busy day. We didn’t realized they closed at 8:30 pm. There was a staff that was taking out the trash. Even though he said they were closed he still went above and beyond and served us. We were so grateful and appreciative of this incredible kindness and customer service!“

“We almost didn’t go because it was difficult to find parking, but it was definitely worth the walk! We were sat immediately and greeted with very kind service. We ordered boneless chicken wings with spicy Korean sauce, and we each ordered a spicy rice noodle bowl. Our server told us what to add right away and how to enjoy the bowl. Everything was delicious. We tried the sliced beef and brisket and both were great. Definitely a great Minneapolis spot for a warm lunch on a cold day! ?❄️?

Parking: We went on Saturday and got lucky with parking, but be prepared to walk a bit. Construction makes it harder to navigate.“

“good foods and friendly staff.“

“Service is fast, quiet, professional, courteous. Food is very good. Portions are generous for the cost. I was skeptical about paying almost $30 for an entree and upgraded rice (you can change the plain rice to fried rice for a reasonable fee) and an appetizer. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of food I got. I can share one order with two or three friends we all get enough. (It also reheats well in a low temp skillet).
I always take it home or have it delivered, but they do have a few tables available if y'all want to eat there. It's clean and simply decorated.
Ample parking, easy to get to.

Wheelchair accessibility: The parking lot could be tough on a wheelchair. I did not notice if there was a ramp onto the sidewalk. I assume so, but I don't recall.“

“Great food from great cook!!“

“Awesomeness people awesomeness food. I love the young Viet people there. Am from Canada.“

“Vegan family visiting Minneapolis and googled best Chinese in the area and Shuang Cheng popped up! Omg they did not disappoint. Food was delicious and staff were friendly. It was so good we went back twice during our stay. A must try if you are looking for yummy Chinese food!“

“A true Chinese take out gem. You don’t see many places like this anymore — the true and authentic old school Chinese take out spots from the 60’s/70’s with the vintage signage and Cantonese speakers.

A true beauty of a spot that packs in great food at a great price with a lot of charm.“

“Great authentic Cantonese restaurant, were friendly staff and got super good food. Menu is pretty long but you can find very good food from there.“

“We’ve been three times the last month (twice this week) the best place ever so good“

“The awesome food!!!!!!!!!“

“I always swing in here for the Thai Coconut Curry when I'm at Knollwood Mall, and the people who work here are super friendly. I wish the pot stickers were as big as they used to be, but they taste so good I don't care. Give me all the pot stickers!“

“Vegetable Lo Mein Chicken Wings Beef & Broccoli“

“love the spring rolls, yum!“

“The best Asian food around! The staff is so friendly too!“

“food and service hope you bring lunch back the 18% additional service charge seems excessive.. highest one I've had so far“

“Crispy tofu is so delicious⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“SIX STARS !!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ not sure how facebook rates and put 4/6 but it's a 6 no doubt !! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ lived in the neighborhood for many years until 2015, Bills is a staple in the neighborhood with the BEST take out anywhere in mpls ! FRESH cut veggies, HUGE portions white meat chicken, super tasty, clean, friendly can't say enough! the SZECHUAN chicken is to die for ! fried rice yummo ! it's worth the travel from downtown. tried many others... nothing beats bills pricing and quality. good work guys ! so glad your always going to be here !!!“

“Order sweet sour chicken and it was real good, except I could have liked to have some pineapple and green pepper. Would like to try some other dishes“

“I've been to Rainbow Chinese a couple times, and I've ben consistently super impressed with their service and their food. I recommend either the Tiger mock duck or the ma po tofu, which they make with just the right pork to tofu ratio, as far as I'm concerned (a rarity in the Twin Cities...)

The staff are super friendly. They recently started doing bar service on Wednesdays, so I stopped in for one of their fancy lemonades and dinner, and it was fun chatting with the bartender a bit. Although the price is a little bit high compared to my other favorites, I think it's definitely worth it. And it rules that they have off street parking!“

“no paper menu good prices“

“Our new favorite place to get takeout Chinese! Food is fresh hot and excellent tasting.“

“Don't listen to Mr. B down there, that's someone who thinks that the "customer is always right." Also "instant parboiled rice?" Your a** is so entitled, might as well call you a Karen. As a customer, I'm so happy that you screwed off from this restaurant as I'm sure they want NOTHING to do with you.“

“I live in Wisconsin, but I'm from Minnesota originally. This place is the hidden gem. Literally the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life. The chicken is high quality. And the Fried Rice is to die for. I'm telling you 10 out of 10.“

“so nice, tried their subgum chow mein for the first time it was fabulous. reminded me of the Nankin chow mein. Been going here for more then thirty years. I'm sad I didn't try their subgum chow mein years ago.“

“the food is delicious, I'm a repeat customer. Jins Chow Mein your awesome.“

“have seen this place a million times but was the first time in my life that i decided to give it a try! excellent food…. we got general tsos chicken and sweet and sour chicken dinner combos! great portion sizes for $10 a piece i would definitely order from here again“

“So disappointed the portions were so small! They really downsize them since the last time I got a delivery order. They were literally half of what they used to give you and even the delivery container was much smaller. Usually I get three meals out of it I was lucky to get two very small meals. So disappointed! Food was still delicious but wow that was a big disappointment since the price had stayed the same. I know everything's gone up but still I can't accept it“

“This is the gold standard of Chinese food for me. I used to order from here all the time 10+ years ago in high school and loved it. I have since become a professional cook and so have tried tons of Chinese places around town looking for the best one, recently drove past this place and decided to order from here again and holy cow 10 years later it’s still the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. The cream cheese wontons aren’t all breading, they’re delicious and crispy. The orange chicken is unparalleled I didn’t know how much I missed it. I’ve never had orange chicken that even holds a candle to this one. I’m newly enjoying the chow fun as well! This family can COOOOOK. The food is so well seasoned, it always comes super hot and is insanely cheap for the quality. I’m so sorry I ever ordered from anywhere else, it was you all along Xin Wong.“

“I had a wonderful time with my daughters on Monday, and the service was wonderful. They were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, and so was my drink. I liked that they offered hot tea and water right away, which many places I go to don't offer, and they ask you what to order. But here, wow, wonderful service. They asked how everything was like 3 times, refilling our water. Every time they reached for it, my glass was half full.
Excellent service ❤️❤️“

“Food from here tastes better than other 'takeout' in the area. Quality ingredients and more veggies on the menu. Everything so far tastes good. No weird bitter aftertaste, no over-salted or over-breaded meat.Mandarin Chicken - good balance of meat and veggies, not too salty or saucy.Japanese Chicken - also very good, good balance and good sized pieces.Orange Chicken - actually has orange peel!“

“Went in yesterday and ordered an item that was just added..Shredded chicken salad with shrimp crackers. I was the first one to order this. Awesome, a blend of tangy, crunchy Would order again !!“

“Have enjoyed this restaurant for years and years. On a recent visit (January 2025), I ordered my usual panang chicken curry. It was much spicier than I remembered it, but I’m certain the fault was with my
memory, as the more bites I took, the more I realized the perfection of the spice level. I tried adding a small amount of the house-made chili sauce, but it didn’t need it. It was perfect just the way it came out of the kitchen.

Dietary restrictions: Excellent gluten-free options.“

“I just moved into the area and was riding my bike just to get a better local view and also see what restaurants were easily close by. And i had pizza day before, so i ordered the kung pao chicken combo with shrimp egg roll. I usually stick with shrimp fried rice, but it looked very authentic, family owned. Food was lets just saythere were no leftovers. And im sure by the weekend i'll be strolling by Sichaun again. Also i was given to go menu. Food was splendid,service was great, indoor dining very mellow peaceful setting.“

“Great food, excellent service, loved the family style serving with metal serving spoons! Not sure but I kind of have a feeling, that we were served by the owner? she is a great dynamo of a personality! Szechuan beef and kung pao chicken.“

“I've written 3 reviews in the last hour.... None of them show up. Same reviews get shown over and over. 35 years I've been going there, never again. Down hill“

“I absolutely LOVED my AYCE Hot Pot experience here!!! It was quiet given I went 2:30pm on a Sunday, but they had all of my favorite ingredients stocked, including lamb, enoki mushrooms, fish balls, shrimp, tofu skin, and so much more! My favorite part was the fact they could make the broths with a vegetable base and they were still INCREDIBLY FLAVORFUL (especially the Tomato Base one, which is usually a hit or miss at the other hot pot spots in the area). 10/10 would highly recommend, the service and food was great!“

“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.“

“I love his food, just don’t forget my hot oil sauce on my delivery’s.

Parking: I love his food, this Pool lace has amazing food, so tasty, my only concern is about the location, sometimes it’s kind a scary, but besides that, food delicious!!“

“decided to try a new spot for lunch -- great vibes inside, person working the door immediately gave me a cold bottle of water on the house, wait time for order felt appropriate, food was good. I got the sliced beef pho to-go. excited to try more of the menu.“

“They never miss, have not had one bad experience here!!!“

“I’ve been to Leen Chin a few times now, and every time I go, I leave happy. The food is always fresh and full of flavor—my go-to is the sesame chicken, but honestly, everything I’ve tried has been really good. The portions are generous, and it always tastes like it was made with care.

What really makes this place stand out, though, is the customer service. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. They always greet you with a smile and make you feel like a valued customer, whether you're dining in or just grabbing takeout. It’s clear they actually care about their customers and want you to have a good experience.

If you’re looking for tasty food and great service, Leen Chin is definitely worth checking out.“

“It’s hard to find based on the that is posted on the building. However, once located it was an easy and quick journey to a table. I went once by myself and then two weeks later brought to coworkers. Both times I ordered the spicy chicken lunch special. It was served with a big bowl of steamed rice. The serving size was generous and I was offered more rice both times.

The sauce on the chicken was delightful. It was also actually spicy. The first time I couldn’t finish the whole plate and left quite a few jalapeños in eaten. (The second time I was better prepared and took my leftovers with me.) Again, it was spicy. I struggle finding food that is what
I would consider spicy, and this absolutely fit the bill. I will be returning, good food, quiet atmosphere and spicy.“

“I stumbled on this place accidentally ?I was going to rainbow and then met “The Cookie Man” and he told me that they sell his cookies at this restaurant so I was only going to the store for the cookies but then the other day I asked a customer how was the food, the man said it was the best fried rice in Minneapolis. I said “what, it hits like that, I got to try it…” and I did. Now for my beautiful ladies with babies, y’all know how it is when a craving hits and you like “it better be on point or else!” I ordered a small order of the shrimp fried rice and although it is simple without all the mixed vegetables and such it is very good. I got to the car food was fresh, I mean burn your mouth fresh, took the first bite and it reminded me of this amazing restaurant we HAD back home called King Fong in downtown Omaha. It was the best fried rice. ??????This is a runner up. So that says a lot. Anybody that know about King Fong in Omaha know about King Fong! ???

Anyways the service is good, speedy and I have not had a problem always nice and friendly and they laugh when I order only cookies previously but now…ordering the cookies and the fried rice. Oh for those that are into the details like that of the dish it is brown rice (I believe it is colored with flavored additives). It has white and green onions, eggs and bean sprouts again simple but comparable to a lot of fried rice that has to add all the extra fixings just to give it flavor this place is great for minimal ingredients with a mouthful of flavor. Don’t even need to add the soy sauce. Again my review is specific to the shrimp fried rice and cookies. Happy eating y’all!

Parking: Parking can be chaotic especially on weekends which is when I have experienced trouble.“

“The location is easy to find. Excellent customer service. Employees were smiling and friendly. The prices were very reasonable. Food was good. I had the Thai Coconut Curry Chicken and it could have a a little more coconut flavor. Had a nice spice heat to it though. The cream cheese wontons were tasty. The other meal was Mongolian Beef and that was good too but the beef was a little chewy. The chicken fried rice had good flavor. The dining area was clean and plenty of seating. I will eat at this establishment again..

“Amazingly tasty plus affordable lunch for 3. Can't reccomend more!“

“The food was good, the facility was clean, but getting to and from here is an adventure. Minneapolis has fallen, I cant imagine what this place is like at night. Visiting at noon and I was constantly looking over my shoulder and concerned my vehicle was going to get broken into at any moment. I feel for the people who are trying to raise a family in this area.“

“Was shopping in ridgedale and wasn’t able to find something I wanted to eat.. then the smell of orange chicken hit my nose.. looked over and saw Leann Chin calling my name. Must of been fate, as I walked up to look at the food choice the lady working up front came from the back with a fresh pan of orange chicken.. seeing that sealed the deal!! I ordered the orange chicken with noodles and fried rice, got a soda as well. The prices are decent but the food was great! Fresh tasting and quick. Having this made the rest of my day go well.

Thank you again“

“The peanut chicken is the star of the show. The skin is crispy and sugary, the sauce is great. I wouldn't recommend the spare ribs, but everything else I've gotten from here is pretty good. Most of the time, the sauce spills out of the containers and into the bag. But that peanut chicken is worth it. I get it delivered through Door Dash so I can't speak for the service or atmosphere.“
