The good news is there's a boba place right next door you can hang out at. Mandarin kitchen is a gem still running the old classic push cart style dim sum with a wide array of popular dim sum dishes as well as some lesser known ones. Everything is made in house and the food is all incredible. It can be hard to know how much you're going to pay until the end as they just are checking off boxes on a piece of paper and you don't even know which box they'll check off until after you get it, but still never ends up being too bad - worst I ever had to pay was $37/person but usually it's around $20 and you'll be stuffed. The staff are quick and constantly running around with so many delicious dishes. You might have to ask if you want something specific, but certain dishes like the duck can run out quick so be sure to get it when comes around. Overall, an awesome place for friends, family and just about everyone. One of my favorites.

The latest visit was this past weekend for a later lunch after ValleyFair. Both of my boys were very excited when I told them we were getting pho for lunch instead of theme park food. I'm sure we will be making more stops here for lunch this summer since our family has season passes to ValleyFair. The service was fast and the staff were friendly & attentive. We were happy to get our food pretty quickly since we were all very hungry when we arrived. The pho broth was delicious! My kids shared the meatballs pho while I had the pho with tripe & tendons. We also got an order of the spring rolls - it was good overall, a little bit on the dry side. Recommend checking out this restaurant if you are looking for some good Vietnamese food in Shakopee area.

I haven't been here in years but I remember it being good and I was in the area so I thought I…read morewould stop by. So disappointed in the flavors. The soups did not have the authentic homemade flavor, it was more bland and tasted almost instant. Really sad the bun bo did not hit the spot. Pho was decent enough for kids to finish it but not my favorite. The beef was cut too thick it was hard to chew. The eggrolls were tiny. Hard to mess up viet coffee so that was good. The banh mi was flavorful but smaller than other places. Kids loved that they had sunny d here. Service was ok, they were great in the beginning but then ignored us after a while. Typical seating for Vietnamese restaurant. Sadly there are better viet places in the area, sucks cause this place has been here forever. The donut hole next door is amazing though so stop by there and grab a donut!

Well, if food, service, and ambience are the three categories I should consider in my review,…read moresuffice it to say I wish I could give them negative stars. The neon sign outside says "Dine In" and yet the woman who stands behind the Covid era plexiglass will shout at you "take out only!!" To that end, there is no service. They only take cash, (so I'm relatively certain they're not reporting all of the income on their taxes). And when I say they only take cash, I mean there's no other options. No credit card, no debit card, no Zelle, Venmo, CashApp... Nothing else. Now for the main attraction, the Food. I'm reluctant to critique anyone's artistry, but this food is shit. There is no nicer word. Relatively certain the eggrolls, the chicken tenders, all of it comes frozen and is loudly prepared on a grill. Since you can't see it being cooked, all you can hear is the metal utensil clanging loudly against the grill. All of the sauce is store-bought, prepackaged, sugary, gelatinous slop. I suppose the only nice thing I can say about this place they have free parking. Seriously, save your time and your cash. Do NOT eat here.

The restaurant moved to take out early in recent years so we usually order several dishes to take home to eat or share with friends and families at events. Most recently, my mother-in-law helped picked up several items for our family picnic and all the dishes were great! My two little guys especially enjoyed the stir-fried fun noodles with bbq pork, and I loved the roast pork per usual.

Woohoo! Or should I say, Wu-hoo?…read more I'll admit we're guilty that if we're craving Chinese food, we'll typically hit up Panda Express. It so happens that there was not a Panda conveniently located to us the day we were craving it, so I popped open my maps app to look around for alternatives. This place came up and I used their online menu to quickly take a peek at options/pricing, and deemed it somewhere I wanted to give a try. SO GLAD I did. The location is in a little bit of a dead-end street, but it's absolutely worth making the small detour. True to its name, it looks like a house. There was plenty of parking available. We discovered upon arrival that they've got some temporary hours for actually dining in, though that didn't matter to us since we were getting take out to eat back at home on our porch on a lovely warm, sunny afternoon. The inside of the place is pretty nice with lots of authentic decor, so no doubt dining in would be pleasant when it's an option. We were offered a menu so we could figure out our order; there was lots of yummy options to choose from. Plenty of folks were grabbing orders to-go that they'd called in for (which we might take advantage of in the future, since the wait time was around fifteen minutes for our food to be prepared; we just waited in the lobby on some comfortable chairs scrolling our phones, lol). It was rather apparent this place is frequented by Asian Americans rather than catering to random white people like us, as there was lots of fluent speaking in Chinese between customers and employees. Even so, they didn't make us feel unwelcome or out of place in the slightest. When our order was handed to us, I was in awe of the sheer WEIGHT of the bag I was given. It was A LOT of food, which was awesome. The pricing was extremely reasonable. I got a shrimp dish for around $13, and it was so ample that I ate from it not once, not twice, but THREE times. The cream cheese wontons were $5 for a baggie of ten, and sooo delicious (and easily reheated in our air fryer). All of it was delicious. My tastebuds were delighted. We will absolutely be coming here again, and again, and again. I'm excited to try more dishes! Thanks, House of Wu!

I hadn't been there since at least 1996 but my family and I visited last weekend. The lunch deals were inexpensive IMO. Egg rolls were nice and crispy, fried rice was yummy, and the garlic chicken was exactly as I remembered it. I'd love to go back and try some of the lobster and crab dishes. While Dinkytown has changed a LOT, Shuang Cheng hasn't, and that's a good thing! Also, my bro ordered the chicken with orange peel. I don't usually like sauces breaded chicken dishes because the reading is often soggy. We all agreed that their chicken was delicious! I'll go back the next time I'm in the beautiful Twin Cities!

Wrong. It took forever to acknowledge that I was waiting for a table even though every seat was open and my service was slow. I made sure to order appetizers, the drink, and full meal together once I realized I was in for a slow serve. The cream cheese wontons were my favorite of all the food. The steamed pork buns were just okay and left a weird after taste that I didn't enjoy. Lastly, the sesame chicken had great portion control and wasn't soaked in sauce yet some of the chicken pieces were questionable mixed with both dark and light meat. The cherry on top was that there were 15 flying tiny bugs similar to fleas that would swarm my food. This made me question the hygiene of the entire spot. All of this was such a turnoff to me. I think the tea house is now more of a takeout spot. Bummer!!
