Ordered Sesame Chicken for takeaway later in the afternoon, needed to wait a bit for it to be prepared which was no issue as it was no longer the lunch rush. Upon arriving home with my order the Sesame chicken had been cooked with so much sugar it was akin to eating candied chicken, it had also been placed into styrofoam containers at such heat it melted to the chicken as well. The fried rice was also somehow very grey, only edible portion of this meal was the egg roll.

Horrible tasting! The sesame chicken was bone dry and the coating was burnt. No way this was cooked fresh.

Their sweet and sour was ketchup and the fried rice was bland.

St. Paul skyway staple! Most people show up for the lunch deal which delivers a mountain of pretty good food at a solid price. I like to get their beef and meatball pho which is surprisingly great! For me, their broth is spot on and I just wish that they had more option for protein and fixins. One quirk is they the peppers they provide vary wildly in heat some days you get very mild jalapeños the next day you might get Serrano level heat. A very fun work lunch roulette, especially while eating with coworkers. The line is pretty long during the lunch rush, but it moves pretty quick.

The wonton noodle soup, with the chili oil, is out of this world. By and far my favorite soup in the cities. Great array of textures, savor and spice, and the perfect amount of food. Great anytime of year, tho I especially love it in the summer. The staff are also always warm to greet you, super fast in getting your order out, and just very kind folk.

This is a great spot for a cheap and quick lunch in downtown Saint Paul. You can have your choice of various express Chinese food such as sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, or a meat and veggie stir fry. Lunch specials come with choice of carb (rice or noodles), an entree, and choice of appetizer (egg roll or cream cheese wontons). I will say that all of the food options are nicely done and I've never had a complaint about the taste of the food here. Occasionally I enjoy their Vietnamese offerings such as vermicelli salad, spring rolls, and pho. The vermicelli salad comes with a generous portion of fresh and pickled veggies, noodles, and two big egg rolls. The pho is also flavorful, but is a smaller portion than what you would get in other restaurants. However, I do feel full after eating just one bowl of pho.

Their house fried rice is really good but if youre reading this, please beware THEY CLOSE AT 4, NOT 5.I went there at 3:55 and their doors were completely shut. Some days, they stay till 5 but ig they close incredibly early if they have a slow day. You should call in advanced so you dont waste your time coming here.

Stopped by for the lunch special! The Moo Goo Gai Pan was good with lots of fresh broccoli, snow peas, carrots, etc. I had it with streamed rice and an egg roll. Service was excellent. The woman that helped me was friendly and efficient. Great lunch for less than ten bucks!
The spring/egg roll salad is amazing! Simple and tasty! The staff is amzing!! If you are one that orders a "usual" they will recognize it and offer your favorite dish with a warm hello.My only problem is that I can't give them more stars!!

Eden Prairie location is fast, easy and consistent. I like their Moo Goo Gai Pan combination plate. Their vegetables are fresh and crisp. Egg rolls and won tons are great as well. You can order extra sauces for dipping.

Ordered the general Tos chicken The sauce is liquid and the chicken is what they had sitting out on the lunch counter they didn't make it fresh. The egg rolls were cold. $15 lunch will not be back.
