50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Little Canada

“Always EXCELLENT!!!“

“good foods and friendly staff.“

“My husband and I were in the area so we decided to stop in. We were on a time crunch so we ordered some easy stuff such as finger foods and fried rice. I was in the mood for something beefy but wasn't really in the mood for pho or anything soupy so I ordered the beef bulgogi instead. The food took a while to be served but the server was pretty cool so we didn't mind. When we got our food, the finger food was pretty good. The spicy fried chicken we ordered was good. The fried rice was bland. The bulgogi, however was disappointing. Instead of using a type of meat with some marble in it, they used the eye round, the leanest part of the cow, and grilled it up. I get it. It's already sliced thinly for pho but the eye round pieces that was used was pretty thick. The whole thing was dry and chewy. There was barely any sauce glazed over the meat. Please don't be cheap. If you're going to put a certain dish on your menu, serve it properly with the correct type of meat. If you don't want to use a more expensive cut such as ribeye, which is the correct section of beef to use, then go with the chuck meat. We hear good things about the sushi so maybe next time we'll stop in for that.“

“The Mongolian Beef noodles were absolutely perfect“

“Definitely a repeat place, to the point that we “celebrate” birthdays there. Tea is good and they have good chicken feet.“

“Great food“

“We’ve been going here for years. It’s our favorite Chinese place. Every other Chinese restaurant we’ve tried has been disappointing in comparison. The staff is always super friendly. I don’t think they’ve ever messed up an order. We usually order a couple combos, egg rolls, egg foo young, and lo mein, and our family (2 adults, 2 kids) can get 2-3 meals out of it, the portions are so generous.“

“The service is prompt and friendly. The food is equally awesome. They just added Spring Rolls to their menu and they are the best I’ve had. Add their perfect peanut sauce and I’m putting this place on my ‘must go to’..“

“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.“

“I visit NFW after being away for a few years, pretty big changes. Now they want you to order at the counter and pay then, including tip. The counter people are super pleasant, so tipping then is OK, I guess. The food is delivered fairly promptly by those trundling robots and it arrives nice and hot. The food taste and quality is good, similar to previously but not WOWfresh like before. Maybe we should give them another chance. Soy sauce on the table, chili oil (barely spicy) upon request at the counter, other condiments in plastic take-out paks, a BIG step down from before. No hot tea/drinks. Cold canned drinks at the counter. Self serve ice water. The place was busy when we were there, fair prices for decent food, filling and satisfying. Tables were kept clean and bussed promptly. There was a Cotten candy (?) machine that attracted kids, and a sushi bar for adults.“

“i love coming here to eat because some of the foods taste good. the customer service here is okay. This place is good for friends, families, and dates dinner.“

“Restaurant with lots of Sichuan options. (There are also lots of “American Chinese” options.) We enjoyed the twice cooked pork, Dan Dan, green beans and chung king chicken. We were also given a very large portion of rice. It’s a popular place to get takeout as we were the only ones dining in on a Saturday evening. The portions were reasonably priced. The Dan Dan was a little different than what we’re used to. They were kind of dry on too but have the peppercorn flavor and nutty aroma. All in all good decisions.“

“Delicious and very hot when you get it...love that The woman who takes my order...incredibly kind and fun to watch...she should be on tv or movies! 😁👏💓“

“We moved to St. Paul when I was a little kid over 40 years ago ago and my mom got a job as a nurse at the now long gone Mounds Park Hospital! My mom had to work nights a lot, and there was many many a night that we got takeout dinner from here! Years later as an adult I got my first apartment about half a mile from here and this was my number one craving during my first pregnancy. 10 more years later, I came back as a visiting professor at Metropolitan State University after moving to New England for school and I was thrilled to find Leo's was still standing. I am heading back to visit next month and I wanted to confirm if they were still here and I am thrilled to find out that you are! ❤️“

“Had it delivered and everything was so good. I was ordering for the potstickers but the Orange Chicken was the best we've ever had. Would go back just for the Crispy Korean Chicken wings. Every one of the dipping sauces were great too.“

“I’ve been sick for almost a week and as I started to get my appetite back I wanted Chinese food. We usually order from Ducs in Woodbury but wanted to try something new. We ordered Cream Cheese Puffs, Orange Chicken, Chicken LoMein and Pork Fried Rice. I would definitely order from here again.“

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

“We came to order some take out. It wasn't busy so we got in and had our order taken right away. The fried rice was good, chow fun was okay but not too bland. The chicken wings was bland, not much flavor. They are pretty affordable, and convenient.“

“I love this place! I always order the Shrimp and Lobster sauce combo comes with pork fried rice and egg rolls or cheese wontons, Szechuan dumplings (they are huge) and Wonton Egg drop soup (2 of my favorites in 1 soup!)
This is the only place that does all of these right. The best takeout ever for a good value.“

“good food large portions says they have dine-in but it's only take out or delivery but very good food“

“My FAVORITE Chinese restaurant around- for miles - the Chef is a Master! She gets meals wok'd up real quick, is truly delectable and amazingly she still charges a fair & reasonable price- proprietor is so kind and personable to regulars as well“

“welcome all age, nice place for graduation/birthday party“

“The staff and cook crew were great! I ordered the chicken Pho and it was excellent. I plan to return to try more menu choices.“

“I went here one time after I was lifting. It was a nice small local place in downtown North St. Paul. The wait can be pretty long, but the cooks are working hard to make the best meals. The House Fried Rice and Chicken Lo Mein are my favorites, but I do hope to try the Beef Lo Mein on my next visit. Highly suggest coming here, and I'm definitely planning on coming back someday“

“It’s my first time visiting a Leeann Chin location, and I was fortunate to visit the Highland Park location. I can say that my experience was very pleasant—the food was fresh, and the store manager along with the team were very friendly. Without a doubt, I would go back again.“

“best Chinese food I have had in a long time! I had the walnut shrimp best I have ever had. a bit pricey on the drinks but the food made up for it. We will go back for sure!“

“Tried this last week. Portion size is good (2 item combo); more rice than chicken.

It looked better than it tasted. The sesame chicken seemed a day old/from the previous day (a little stringy and dry), but it was still ok. The orange chicken was better, but overall the food tasted like standard Chinese food. The fried rice was good, but standard as well.

Just over $14 for the combo.

No seating for the restaurant but there are plenty of tables for general seating in the center of the floor.“

“Very friendly and good food. To go only right now but definitely worth the trip!!“

“I love Tea House St Paul. So glad I live 5 minutes away. Even during Covid I’d go get take-out from them. Best Fried Rice in the Twin Cities!!!❤️“

“Great staff...Beautiful food :)“

“I'm not a sushi fan, so I got shrimp pad thai, which was excellent. "Medium" spice was enough for me. My dad got a custom sushi roll that was made perfectly to order, which he really loved. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable. We'll be back!“

“Awesome service, good food and overall a fun place. Large menu and also have a lot of Gluten Free items and are indicated on main menu. Will definitely go back! So many more dishes I want to try!“

“I recently had the 2-piece fried chicken and fried rice meal from Kim's Kitchen, and it was absolutely fantastic! The chicken was perfectly crunchy on the outside and incredibly moist and tender on the inside — exactly how fried chicken should be. The fried rice was a great side, flavorful and well-seasoned, making the meal feel hearty and satisfying. On top of the great food, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s clear they care about their customers and the community. It’s always a pleasure supporting a local gem like Kim's Kitchen. Highly recommend!“

“The employees were so friendly and helpful! It was fairly busy at the time, and I wanted to wait for a dish to be restocked, and the employee was happy to check if it was ready and brought it out, joking that “they must have known I was coming and wanted it!” We also had to wait a bit for fresh cream cheese wontons (no more than 3 mins), and they were so apologetic for the wait and offered us free drinks. Truly one of the most pleasant fast casual dining experiences I’ve had in a long time!“

“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.“

“Wong's Kitchen is a hidden gem in St. Paul. Nothing compares to the service and food. Egg rolls are massive with flavor and orange chicken is never dried out and has a good amount of sauce unlike other spots we've tried in St. Paul. Even though we've moved out of state when we come back to Minnesota we grab Wong's Kitchen and the owner still remembers us. Hard to beat that type of customer service.“

“This is a local, family-run shop. The food selection caters to the American palette, but there's plenty on the menu and it all tastes fresh. Portions are generous and inexpensive. If you want *really* spicy food, you need to ask for it.“

“Amazing service, quick and delish!“

“This place has never done me wrong when I got food here. If it was just better lit inside I'd give the Atmosphere a 5. But the place being clean and professional was enough for me.

I miss getting orders here. Food was always worth the price.“

“the manager is just as rude as he was when I worked there years ago. he was VERY rude to my dad when he came in tonight and im upset my dad didn't let me go in there and say something. I don't care if it's busy and you are overwhelmed, I worked there for years and understand the stress, but you don't tell a customer you can't do something when you absolutely can, and it wasn't even your order you were doing so you should have kept your bald head back in the kitchen with your nasty tone to yourself. Dee is one of the worst managers ever, besides Nick and Terry. Dawn needs to put Dee through some kind of managment kindness courses.“

“Ever since the remodel this location hasn't given me any issue. My food is always ready on time, the staff is very polite and everything tastes good. If you ever had issues at this location in the past, I highly recommend giving it another shot.“

“Their thai boat for me wasn't good they tasted like package noodles. What was great and probably the best in MN to me is their raw larb. They use real pepper, not dry pepper, not chili flakes, real authentic cayenne pepper. 1 out of 5 places I've been to will use real pepper and not just that, they put mint leaves and lemon grass also. A lot of places just throw in cilantro and green onion, maybe red onion TOO. Their lao papaya is good, full of flavor and spice if you ask for it. I would say 4.5/5 overall as my main interest was their thai boat which wasn't for me. Service was great too.“

“We ordered the sesame chicken, chicken lo mein, and wontons through door dash. They sent the sesame sauce in a separate container, so the chicken was crunchy and there was plenty of sauce to pour on to our liking. The lo mein was really good, nice chunks of chicken and a good amount of veggies. I've always had thicker noodles, but I learned I'm a fan of the little noodles! Wontons were delicious as well.“

“decent Chinese food, nice lady behind the counter. As a white guy, I think the bad reviews for this place are just snobby rich white people from white bear lake who cant accept when their food is more flavorful than a pb&j. “This place is different than it was in the 80’s!” Yeah dude? Everything is? Why would you expect the exact same service from a place after 4 decades? Some of y’all need to get off your high horse and enjoy an eggroll“

“Super quick service. Everything looked amazing. What people are saying about the orange chicken is true. It is very, very crispy. If you don't like it with crisp fried batter, you may not enjoy it, but it is still good. Orange sauce is perfectly sweet and tangy. Fried rice, cream cheese wonton, spring roll were all good as well. I would try a different chicken dish next time.“

“Yang's has been serving up consistently delicious American Chinese food in Woodbury for 35 years and remains the best place for Chinese take-out in town. The Beef Lo Mein, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Veggie Fried Rice and egg rolls are all excellent. Although it is sometimes difficult to phone in an order during busier times, the restaurant is well organized and efficient, and food is usually ready for pick up in 30 minutes. We have ordered from here dozens of times over the past 25 years, and they always have the order right except on only a couple occasions.“

“This is my go to pho place!! I’ve moved around the twin cities a bunch and have tried many pho places, but I always find a way to go here. The broth in the pho is very rich you could have it without all the condiments in there. The cream cheese wontons are also the best!!! They are FILLED with cream cheese and you can taste they are made fresh. The sauce to go with it is soooo good as well! The staff is always friendly and nice! The food also comes out super quick! The atmosphere is very homey and relaxed! Definitely recommend to go here if you can!“

“My 1st time in there today for the buffet, also 1st people in. Asked to view the buffet...no problem. I immediately knew it was what I was looking for! It had been so long! My son was enjoying the food too. His 1st time as well. I give it a 4 stars +. a bit disappointed there was no egg foo yong? Because I liked it so well I will be going back, and I'd even go alone! waitress was great, prompt with refills or extras..napkins etc...very kind. Food was fresh as far as I could tell, taste was great! Try for being my kind of Chinese food! Ask what Ho Ho means....👌“

“Good food. Low price. Fast service.“

“Compared to other take outs that I usually go to, this is a sketchy, hole in the wall place.
Service was amazing, super helpful staff. Food is very good, only giving the food 4 stars because it is a bit bland but very editable.
The building unit could use a bit of air flow, you do notice a musky smell, like stale air.
My overall experience was very good. I would definitely try this place again.

I had the Chicken Lo Mein and Spring Rolls“
