50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Saint Louis Park

“It’s Sunday evening and without Vikings Football until Monday night I decided to have a late dinner at my favorite Leann Chin location in St. Louis Park. Remembering I had a free entree to redeem, I strolled up to the front counter only to be greeted by a young, kind line server named Amari who walked me through the check out process. Amari helped me redeem my (somewhat confusing but likely just a ‘’me vs. technology” thing) free entree via the Leann Chin App. He made several suggestions including a recommendation to try the Peking Chicken which ended up being the highlight of my plate! They had just ran out of pot stickers and Amari wasted know time dishing them up and running them out to my table immediately after fresh ones hit the line. The food (as always) hit the spot however the best part of my experience was Amari and his unique ability to provide incredible customer service and at the same time showing the world that expert customer service is still very much alive & well. Well, it is whenever Amari is punched in.“

“Had an appointment nearby and decided to eat at this Leeann Chin location instead of driving up Route 7 to Knollwood Plaza. Ordered my typical chin dynasty that consists of two (2) 1/2 entrees over fried rice. I got the usual firecracker shrimp and the second option was the sesame chicken. Nothing short of excellent, the store was clean, the food was hot.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Had an absolutely delicious dinner on Christmas day. The menu was huge, and every dish we tried was wonderful. The dumplings are so tasty. We were really pleased with the orange beef too. The wait staff was great - attentive but not intrusive. We were very lucky to have the private dining room. So glad they were open for the holiday!!“

“love the spring rolls, yum!“

“First time eating here. My wife and I were happy we chose this place out of a whim. The atmosphere is really chill and laid back. The service was friendly and quick. I’m almost certain that we had received our food maybe 10 mins after ordering. The Szechuan Wontons and Cream Cheese Wontons were both very delicious. Our entrees were fantastic! We’re definitely coming back when we make our way up to Minneapolis.“

“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.“

“I have struggled since Fongs closed to find Chow Mein and Egg Foo Young that is even close to theirs. Well this evening I hit the jackpot!!! Absolutely outstanding!!!
Every single thing the Chicken Chow Mein. Egg Foo Young, fried rice not to mention the best egg rolls I’ve had in years! Thank you so much for the best Chinese food experience in such a long time. I’m a fan and will be back. OMG that was good- the owner was so kind and I enjoyed a short conversation with her as I waited. Faith in humanity and kindness restored in a quick stop for dinner. Thank you Lucky Inn“

“The awesome food!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“My family and I enjoyed eating at Home Taste. The staff is friendly and service is fast. We had Dim Sum and it taste delicious. After we paid, the server gave us additional congee to take home for our baby. She was so nice. We really enjoyed it here and prices are very reasonable. This restaurant deserves a try if you’re in the area!“

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

“Ordered online. Food was good. Eggs rolls hand nice crunch and good flavor. Cream cheese wantons were a generous size and the property combination of crisp and creamy. Pepper beef was nicely balanced with a good amount of beef and crisp veggies. Only criticism was the kung pao chicken. It was surprisingly sweet and the sauce was thicker than expected.“

“Vegetable Lo Mein Chicken Wings Beef & Broccoli“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Well, pre covid I did not like this place. Sometime between then and now, this place has greatly improved! For take out, my wife and I are now here, maybe twice a month. She loves the house special ried rice, I love that I can add Cashews and chile to my shrimp and vegetables! Egg rolls, always taste fresh. The cooking oil doesn't seem to leave that aftertaste on fried items, that means they change it to fresh when needed! The Beef Lo Mein is fantastic and...AAAANNNDDDD the Coconut Shrimp...Highly recommended!!!“

“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!“

“We love this place! There food is delicious, and consistant. We have been ordering to go from this establishment for 4 years since we moved to the area. Great prices, and the portions are huge! Egg rolls, pad Thai, fried rice, and spring rolls are our favorite order! The customer service is always amazing! The food is ready within 15 to 20 minutes from ordering it always! I have never had to wait. 100% recommend! Resturant is always clean.“

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

“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.“

“This place was such a great surprise considering its location. It's on Lake Street and I normally wouldn't be found anywhere near this location. It's not the best part of town. But this place blew me away. It was clean friendly and the food was actually really good not to mention a really fair price. Would recommend the eggrolls so flavor the pork and broccoli the fried dumplings with dipping sauce. I was also surprised at the seafood options like huge easy peel shrimp again great value. You might not want to stay in this part of town long but if your hungry I definitely recommend this place

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options even for the pickiest eater“

“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!“

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

“Ordered a large meal to last me a few days as chinease always does. I placed my order online at there website bit got mixes to whare it said I had to pick it up, no problem there. I called in and the fella that answered changed it back to delivery without any issue. They delivered in less then 10 minutes!?! That's insaine, I have never had someone deliver that quick. Also the driver was very polite. Far as food goes everything is good. I have a sensitive pallet so i am able to taste a lot and lot and there was a lot of taste going on In my food. Unlike some chinease restaurants there food is blan not here. Try this place out you won't regret it ?.“

“One of my favorite places to get food. It’s not too expensive and it’s just such a chill place. The food is always the perfect temperature and it’s the best every time. I will always recommend them to anyone I know who wants some good Chinese food. It’s one of those places that you don’t always notice but it’s worth it.“

“Surprisingly good. I hadn't been to LeAnn Chin in years and had not gone back after being unimpressed by the quality and small portion size the last time I visited. This time the service was fast, and the quality and portion size was greatly improved. Also good value for the price on a dine out meal, all things considered.“

“I got a #12 lunch special and an order of the steamed dumplings. Cost came out to just under $19. The amount of food I got was a ton! Definitely worth the $$.The dumplings were by far the best I have had. Huge size and tasted great!Not a fan of the egg roll. It tasted like it had been rolled in sugar prior to being deep fried. Came off pretty sweet.The sesame chicken was good. Really liked the coating on the chicken. Sauce was ok. Not super spicy but chicken was a little dry.Nothing special about the fried rice. It’s like they just put white rice in the wok with some soy sauce and an egg. No real taste. Would be better if they put just a couple of peas or carrots with some seasonings.I will go back just for the dumplings!!“

“I usually order from the Burnsville Golden Wok and am not sure if this place is a chain but I had a great experience! The delivery took less than 20 minutes on a Saturday night at dinner time. Food was really fresh and super flavorful. Love Golden Wok!“

“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..

Vegetarian options: See menu online

“we have always enjoyed 98 pounds buffet. we don't make it there very often but always enjoy it when we do!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“So, when I say "hole in the wall", I'm not being misleading or theatrical. It is tricky to find this place.

Food: Every time we've been here the food has been hot and our entrees have had the right amount of heat (spice) and the meat has been tender; tender to the point where I specifically note it.

Our most recent trip had us trying the cumin lamb and I'll be real I could eat that dish every day for the rest of my life and die happy.

Service: I'm weird when it comes to chinese food and waitresses (ers). I get that a lot of westerners might take issue with having to point to the dish they want to order but, in its own way, I take that as a positive sign. I've yet to be wrong.

The service was top notch. This is the kind of place that has real chopsticks for their place setting and no forks or cutlery so you'll have to ask. Very polite staff though.

Atmosphere: The dining area is clean and well kept. Zero complaints. Booths are spacious and numerous. Probably not the best place to bring a wheelchair but doable.

Would I be able to bring my daughter here? Yes, and we plan to for her birthday unless she swerves on us and wants italian. Noise levels are acceptable, lighting is mostly from a large front window, and the color scheme on the interior is laid back and mild.

Criticisms: So hard to find the place. You would not know there was a restaurant there without being directly told.

The only other caution I'd give is that the spice level is not for casual midwest temperments. It isn't a bad thing by any means, however, our cumin lamb was about as spicy as my husband could handle--I was feelin' it and the feeling was tasty and hot; loved it.

Pros: For what it is, a casual sit down chinese diner, it is peak. This isn't a dress up fancy type of establishment but the food is great, the service is good, and the overall vibe is chill. Will be going back.

tldr: Pay this restaurant a visit.“

“Such a great buy for $8.25 or $8.50. Two entrees and rice when you choose the Express To Go. I chose Orange Chicken and Beef with Mushrooms. It will take 2-3 meals to finish all this food. They do accept Visa and another credit card and there is a surcharge.“

“A native Chinese and I dined Saturday night inside, although there were more take-outs than dine-in. The Singapore noodles, spicy bamboo tips, lamb Beijing style, Sichuan seared long beans all were excellent. Highly recommend, great friendly service!“

“The egg drop soup here is my absolute favorite out of any of the places I’ve been to in the greater MPLS area. The dining is by far “fine” dining but there are more than enough tables for seating, although probably not ideal for a large group. The Pho special was delicious; the broth is on the sweeter side and the meat variety was all tender. Definitely get more than enough sprouts & jalapeño to go around.

Vegetarian options: Can always sub for Tofu!

Parking: This is connected to a strip mall so there’s more than enough parking and specific restaurant parking right outside the doors!“

“The tomato and egg, noodle bowl is soooo very good.“

“Szechuan Tofu blew my mind with how good it was. My kids loved the sweet sour chicken, and the shrimp noodle thing. It was all really well made delicious food. The appearance of the restaurant was lacking and the smell, but the food quality made up for it 100%“

“I had a last minute order super super last minute!! They didn’t open till 4 pm on this particular day but they took my order and the food was amazing!!!!! I ordered Double shrimp fried rice and wontons. I was assisted by MK and he was so pleasant and the customer service was great!! I would give yall a hundred stars if I could!!!!! I will be back!“

“good foods and friendly staff.“

“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 !!“
