This restaurant has been sold and new owners raised the price and not adding all ingredients. So yhe food is not the same. Don't waste your money eating here.

Picked up an order for DoorDash and they had the order just sitting in a container with no bag. I could see the food sticking out of the container, but they still didn’t put it in a bag. When I asked for a bag, the guy working just pointed and said there’s the bags. I would not order delivery from here. They don’t care about how they package, or ship your food. Bags don’t cost that much. Common sense dictates putting to go orders in a bag when they’re being delivered by a third-party company.

(DATE: 2025 June 11) Huge caveat to anyone coming here! Look carefully at the dates on the reviews you are reading!
They have greatly REDUCED the portion sizes while increasing the prices. To this day, a three item combo (Ex. Fried Rice + item1 + item2) comes to almost $15! The last few times I went, I only did so to punish myself because I continued to believe that I happened to be unlucky 4 or 5 times in a row - I am not unlucky, just stubborn. It is clear that the new servers there will no longer pile on the food like they used to.
If you are a smart consumer, disregard any reviews older than a few months to this date (Again, DATE: 2025 June 11). Those reviews are relics of the past, and can no longer be reliable. You'll note many of the newer reviews indicate the same!
I'd like to note, even with the reduced food amount, each meal probably still delivers enough sugars, cholesterols, and fats to independently feed you for the next day. Perfect if you need to incapacitate yourself for afternoon meetings.

Been coming here for the past 8 years. The prices were great for the amount of food you got. I know that prices are up everywhere, I get it. The prices went up, the amount and quality of food has diminished considerably. Today was the last straw. I ordered chicken fried rice, little to no chicken in it. It was literally veggie fried rice. Its just not good anymore. The lines aren't as long as they used to be either. I'll be going elsewhere from now on.

Final update: This was the nail in the coffin for me. I don't know if they're under new management or what is going on but they just get worse. I was in a pinch today, rarely go here anymore because of my last bad experience, but today I didn't have time for breakfast or to pack a lunch and I was super hungry so I popped upstairs to get some lunch....there was a huge fatty piece of chicken in my cashew chicken (that was supposed to be kung pao chicken, by the way because they didn't update their menu on doordash), that tasted like old fish! That usually means the chicken was rancid so...... I will never eat here again. I will hustle myself down to Whole Foods and back or Andrea Pizza or something if I find myself in this position again. It's just gone downhill so badly over the past year or two.
I've been a customer here for over ten years but when I came in to pick up my order last week, they asked for proof it was my order - fair enough, but when I showed them the email, it wasn't good enough. I don't have the doordash app anymore, so I couldn't show the actual order itself, but I had the confirmation email, the receipt email and the email and text saying it was ready to pick up and she still argued with me about whether it was my order or not. Even with proof that I paid for it and it IS mine, she wouldn't give me my food until after like, 5 minutes of arguing about it! I was made to feel like a criminal, a thief and a bum by her and will never go back again. Not that it makes a difference to their bottom line, but it is rather disappointing since I do like the food quite a lot, actually. I had a super busy day at work, I was already late for an appointment, was just going to pop upstairs real quick to grab my food before they closed and go back to my appointment, but no, it held me up an extra 5 minutes, got me embarrassed in front of all the other customers since they were accusing me of trying to steal someone else's order basically, put me in a terrible mood to go back to work in and ruined my whole day.

Excellent sesame chicken and a great value! All of this for $12, I cheaper out and should have got the egg roll too, looked delicious! My favorite sesame chicken behind Yang’s in Woodbury.

Since the new ownership, this place has really gone downhill. The new staff are disorganized and seems to careless about customer service. Ordered 2 items one was out of order so had to wait which is fine but after waiting for 10mins the new item came out and the the guy that took the order totally ignored that mine was that was still waiting to be filled. He kept helping others in line when he knew there was a back up of orders with others waiting before with a ticket. The food quality and taste has also drastically dropped. I am no longer a regular here due to these issues.

They have amazing breakfast and amazing lunch! I like the lunch a little bit more, but you can't beat the prices for breakfast. The serving sizes are huge. You can't go wrong eating anything here!
Every dish is a hit, and the price to serving ratio is unbeatable for a quick downtown lunch to go. Top contender for best skyway option overall, and miles ahead of Panda Express and other similar chain take out restaurants.

Best lunch in downtown mpls. I don't care what anyone else says. I don't care about awards. This place is it. There's 2 different lines, left side is more Chinese American style. The right side is more Vietnamese with pho, banh mi, rice/vermecelli. I've tried about 80% of the stuff here and nothing. And I mean nothing tastes bad. Everything leaves me desiring more. Everything is reasonably priced in comparison to the other nearby restaraunts. There's no such as dry meat here. There's no such as under seasoned food here. I would recommend this to everyone on this planet. Incredible.
Excellent Chinese and Vietnamese food at this place. Portions that are enough for two, and some of the best Seasame Chicken you’ve tasted in your life. Only open for breakfast and lunch.
