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!

Solid pick! I love…read morethis place for the lunch special. It's a great spot to dive into fun conversations at an affordable price. If you need a budget friendly lunch option with a huge portion, look no further. I've tried many of my options during my undergrad experience, but tried something new this time! I grabbed the tofu sesame and really enjoyed it. Definitely stop by if you're in the Dinkytown area!

We genuinely felt welcomed and we left with the biggest smiles. Thank you, Chris, for making our visit extra special! We'll definitely be back.

We ended up going back the next day to pick up lunch for our group. They didnt pick up the phone so…read morewe weren't able to order ahead of time, but the food from their cafe/take out area came out quite quickly. The crab rangoo pastry was a slight disappointment as it lost some of that sinful simplicity of a typical deep fried crab rangoo. The passion fruit mango stuffed cube was the most popular among the group and we wished we had gotten two of them. The green salad was simple, but the dressing was tasty and the shrimp were plump and well cooked. We got the mild papaya salad which still has a bit of a kick if you're sensitive, but it was a generous portion and it was an enjoyable crunchy acidic and fresh dish. The pan fried noodles worked very well as a side dish, but would have been a less exciting main compared with the other dishes. The sweet and sour pork with the fatty and soft chunks of pork belly were delicious with the sticky rice. The greens weren't my favorite, but I generally don't enjoy collard greens of any variety. While you don't get the beautiful plating that Diane's place does when you get the dishes to-go, it's worth doing if you don't have time for a full meal.

I tried the spicy chicken sandwich and it was so good! I had to share it with my friend because it…read morewas too big for me alone to finish. The chicken had a really good flavor. I will say that the sandwich is pretty spicy - I don't mind it though :) When you enter, people can order their food through the tablet they have on the counters and then they bring out your food. The space has a good amount of seating inside with a few tables outside. I would definitely come back and eat here again!

My spouse and I first came here in January after seeing the establishment's struggles when…read moreOperation Metro Surge was happening and we intended to patronize this business to support their endeavors, and since they had the seasonal Peking Duck dumplings available, we had to give it a try and we totally enjoyed it. All the dumplings had nice side dishes with them, including rainbow slaw, pickles, and whichever sauce we chose, and my personal favorite was the chili oil or the garlic chili aioli, which was surprising because I normally ate dumplings with vinegar back home in China. The golden cloud bites were very authentically made as they reminded me exactly of how "golden buns" (金馒头) were made back home, and the condensed milk was exactly right in terms of what to dip them in. Conversely, I didn't enjoy the bowls as much. The veggie bowl had diverse ingredients but I think having more eggplant would help more because the caramelization can enhance the overall flavor. As for the sambal chicken rice bowl, I personally would prefer sambal rather than the sambal ranch that was included because the two ingredients had different flavors, and sambal itself, rather than sambal ranch, would have given the bowl more vibrantly pungent spice and umami flavors. Since this place has multiple locations, I would recommend one to ensure that their desired dishes are served at the particular locations they are trying to visit. I am just happy about the fact that there is a place like this establishment that serves tasty dumplings, and I would love to return and try some of their sandwiches and burritos.

We went to Jade Dynasty around 6:45pm on a Monday. It is handicapped accessible, with a few…read morehandicap parking spaces in the lot. Most of the rest of parking is in a paid lot. The space is fairly clean, modern, and brightly lit during the day. My partner had the Nankin Wanderer's Punch which was sweet and fruity. I had the Long Island Limoncello which was good, but a little bland. We shared the rest of the meal. Steamed Bbq Pork Buns were delicious. Highly recommend. Steamed Soup Dumplings were very hot so I recommend letting them sit for a few minutes. Once they were cool enough to eat they were very good. Sesame Chicken-this is a dish I often use as a benchmark, and it was excellent. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was very good. Eggplant in Garlic Sauce was also delicious. Beef Brisket Stewed Clay Pot was disappointing. First off it was not in a clay pot. Why call it clay pot when you could call it a hot pot. When it is brought to your table it is fully cooked, and the pot is placed over a small gas stove so it continues to cook while at your table. Even though we let it stew for quite a while the beef was very tough and very chewy. Even though we ordered appetizers a good 10-15 minutes before the entrees, all of the food came out at the same time. Food was delivered fairly quickly, servers were ok.

Good enough? I visited for the first time hoping for quality Americanized Chinese food (based on…read morerave reviews from friends) but find it to be semi-average. The chicken lo mein noodles are super thin, unlike regular spaghetti noodles that I've found in other Chinese restaurants. I think it comes down to personal preference so this is not a dish I will be ordering again. The Mongolian beef had decent flavor but zero scallions. Mongolian beef should be thick slices of green onions so that was a disappointment. I also found the chicken fried rice super bland and boring. Next time I know to stick with white rice for the better option. Portion sizes are reasonably large where each dish can easily feed 2 people. I did appreciate that restaurant giving me a punch card after my first order. It's motivation to try other dishes as prices are reasonable. I'm willing to give this place another try before ruling it out.

Extremely Disappointing -- Save Your Money…read more I honestly don't understand how Tea House gets rated as a top place. From the outside appearance and lack of upkeep to the service and, most importantly, the food, the entire experience was disappointing. The service was odd, the staff didn't seem very familiar with the menu, and there were several misses that made the experience even less enjoyable. The food itself was mediocre at best--and honestly, some of it was just bad. Then came the bill: over $75 plus tip for three people, with two lunch specials and three drinks. For what we received, the price was absolutely ridiculous. For me, this was a hard pass. The food wasn't worth the money, the service wasn't impressive, and the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Don't waste your time, and especially don't waste your money.

Our group decided to check out Meet Up Noodle and I'm so glad we did. We stopped in mid week for dinner and the restaurant was about half full. There was only one server which made things a little slower, but we love a local restaurant working with what they have. It was great to see the noodles being made fresh through the little window, it was mesmerizing, and I could watch it all day long. We tried three or four different appetizers, the scallion, pancakes, chicken, wings, dumplings, and a wrap... All delicious and highly recommend all of them. I'm always a sucker for a good scallion pancake. You would recommend that over the others. Honestly, you can't go wrong with the appetizer. Our group order it a variety of different dishes, some went with soups some went with noodles... Everything was delicious. The portion seems spot on and enough to take home for the next day. I appreciated that when I customize my noodle order everything was made exactly how I ordered it. The canned/bottled drink game is also on point if you like a good Asian sparkling drink, I highly recommend the grape option. I'll definitely go back, in fact, I am counting down the days I can go and have fresh noodles again. If you're in the area, or even if you're not... Check this place out.

The only dessert option was a boba panna cotta that looked super fun was was overly sweet, had stale boba, and the texture was much more jello than panna cotta.
