    501. Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin / 黑椒牛肉
    Railyn W.

    The food is always delicious and hot. The service is good. The space is bright with color and big windows alto bring in light. I am never disappointed when I visit. My only thing is that the food comes out at different times. It's ok because soon as they make it they send it out. Just is nice to have everyone eating at the same time.

    I recently tried Legendary Spice and ordered a little bit of everything .. scallion pancake, popcorn chicken, cucumber salad, crab rangoons, Tony's chicken with three chili, Szechuan green beans, fried rice, and a few other items. Everything had great flavor, but my absolute favorites were the cucumber salad and popcorn chicken. The cucumber salad was fresh, cool, and full of that perfect balance of tang and spice. The popcorn chicken was crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. The rest of the food was really good too. Generous portions, bold flavors, and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely a spot I'll be revisiting when I'm craving good Szechuan-style food.

    Food: just okay this time Service: good Ambiance: modern and Chinese-themed I've had the their twice cooked pork and crispy chicken before. They were good! I've also had the spicy sour pickled fresh fish fillet, which I thought was very rich and salty. This time, I got the Szechuan string beans, the spicy sour pickled fresh fish fillet, and the cold appetizer pig ear. The spicy sour fish fillet was extremely salty. The fish tasted like it sat in a salt bath, and the soup-y sauce also was overly salty. I went home and put all the ingredients into boiled water. I love pickled soup with fish fillets, but not from here. I will go somewhere else to order this dish so I don't have to do so much work just to be able to eat it. The Szechuan string beans were delicious. I loved them the first time and I loved them again. They're flavorful and have a good mix of soft and crunchy textures. The pork ear was not the best I've had... the flavor is more like garlic chili oil than Sichuan peppercorn. I think it would taste so much better if it had more Sichuan peppercorn powder. Also, the slices were extremely thin and there were more fillers than actually pork ears, so it was a very expensive appetizer. I want to come back and try some other dishes, but the saltiness makes me hesitant... The Roseville Potluck location had extremely salty Lao Ma wontons and salty shrimp dry pot too. Please put less salt in your food!!

    Came here on a Thursday evening, very nice modern Chinese ambiance. The food was very spicy in a very authentic sichuan way. We ordered mapo tofu, dry hot pot and squid. Will be coming back for grilled fish and the rest of dishes. The staff is very attentive and the service was very fast and pleasant.

    Excellent food! Delicious flavors very similar to my visit to China last month, as long as you can handle some spice. Cute Asian inspired decorations are fitting for a date night. Service was efficient but not so friendly and ordering was via an iPad at each table. Recommend the Sole Fish Fillet w.Mapo Tofu and the Legendary Dry Chili Chicken.

    We have been here before and really enjoyed it. This time was not quite as good. My partner had the stir fried beef w chili pepper rice bowl. It was quite tasty and well spiced. My dish wasn't as good. I had the braised pork with rice bowl. It did not have much spice, the pork was belly pork which had a lot of fat and tasted somewhat greasy. I upgraded to the fried rice which was bland enough that the white rice would have been just as good. The hot sour soup was pretty good and the spring roll was actually a fried egg roll. Service is getting less as you order from an iPad and servers don't come by much.

    Ordered takeout and will 110% be ordering from here again!! This is a new go-to spot. To start, everything was delivered in a fabric, insulated bag, keeping it hot and making takeout feel a bit fancier than usual. The portions were large and everything was absolutely delicious, especially the dry chili chicken!

    We tried the lunch special rice bowls today-both were good but my Stir-Fried Beef with Chili Pepper was superior! It was fresh and spicy (you expect that at "Legendary Spice", right?). Order from the iPad at your table & the server brings it to your table. The lunch special rice bowls include hot appetizer, soup, rice bowl. Szechuan cuisine and flavor and vibe in this clean and decorative restaurant!

    Great food- great service, and beautiful decorations. You order through a tablet and pay at the table. The food time can range from 2 minutes to 12 minutes depending on what you get. Worth it and there is food for people of every price range.

    Finished broth with dumplings
    Noah F.

    The parking lot is quite small, especially sharing with 2 other facilities. The atmosphere when you walk in is cozy and inviting. The decorations are cute and homey while remaining authentic to the cuisine. The staff is mostly friendly, some staff members didnt smile back or say excuse me or even acknowledged anything. The waitress was nice, though she did not respond that fast when pushing "call waiter/waitress" button. She also didnt explain the concept, or how to use the tablet very well. Speaking of which, the tablets UI (User Interface) is VERY confusing at first, it took about 20 minutes to fully understand how it works, and what to do with NUMEROUS questions in between. There are so many different tabs, and options that are just thrown in your face. The tables are criminally small for how fast you can rack up dishes when it comes to using the hotpot, the waitress hardly came by to help. In fact, the whole principle is quite autonymous, you order on a tablet, you get your own drinks, you get yournown meats for the hotpot, its quite crazy. Me and another person both had the All You Can Eat Hotpot, BBQ and Dim Sum. The options are quite overwhelming at first, especially with the confusing UI, but the food was surprisingly fresh for an AYCE (All You Can Eat) style restaurant. The (very limited) spices were fresh and fragrant. The actual ingredients (IE shellfish, vegetables and fruits) were also pleasantly fresh. The beef and lamb kababs were delightful and had a very nice dry rub. The dumplings were fluffy and delicious. On the contrary, the Shu Mai were dreadful though, the center had the texture of baby food and was unpleasant to finish. The pork kababs were dreadful, they were 90% fat, so they were decent for the broth, but not to eat. If you DIDNT have the hotpot, they would have been completely inedible. Lastly, the beef noodles were not good either, that dish was lacking in flavor, and tasted more like hot water. Lastly, there are very limited selection of desserts that come with the AYCE options. There are also not a lot of classic desserts in general, mostly jelly and/or puddings. With all of that being said, if you season your broth correctly and know how to add and enhance flavors, most of the food will turn out lovely. The total came to over $110 for 2 people having the AYCE everything.

    A restaurant that lacks empathy. We chose this restaurant after reading the reviews. Our target was to enjoy the Legendary Spice Dry Chilly Chicken that so many reviewers recommended. The restaurant has an iPad ordering system. I am all for technology, but with the caveat that there should always be a human in the loop. We order the Legendary Spice Dry Chilly Chicken. What arrives is a Dish with potato fries with some pieces of chicken with bones. Immediately realizing there's been some confusion, we seek clarification. Apparently they have a new dish Legendary Spice Chilli Chicken Winglet. The iPad screen doesn't show the word Winglet in full. The iPad doesn't have any description of the dish. The reaction of the restaurant, not trying to solve that issue and replace or redo our dish was not right. They said we ordered it ourselves on the Ipad so we were stuck with it and can come again another time to order what we wanted to order in the first place. Things can go wrong in the service industry. How a situation is handled can make a big difference. This experience left a bad taste for us. To avoid confusion for future customers, I would recommend changing the name of the new dish so that it doesn't resemble their marquee dish the Legendary Spice Dry Chilly Chicken. I recommend training the employees to repeat the order placed to avoid any confusion. If there's some confusion, train the employees to handle it with listening skills and empathy. The rest of the food was very tasty. Service was poor. Water glasses were not refilled. We had to ask for cutlery and utensils. I'd have loved the evening to have been better. The opportunity to make it a great evening was when we pointed out the confusion in the dishes and that was brushed off. Your mileage may vary.

This is a form of racism & terrible customer service. I get places have language barriers but they have signs for everything else so really no excuses why many of the staff treated us that way. This behavior also tells me everything I need to know about the food as well.... terrible just like the attitude of the staff.

    I reviewed Shuang Cheng previously, and the last time was a bit more than a year ago. In…read morere-reading my reviews, I stand by everything I've said about the excellent consistent quality of the food, the service, and how much I enjoy coming to this restaurant. I truly hope they are around longer than I am. I would hate to find out this was one of the choices no longer available to us. Please read my previous reviews for a more inclusive view; this review focuses only on their lobster. I had previously mentioned that they prices of their lobsters (I love the version with black bean sauce) have gone up tremendously. While true, there seems to have been a subtle change in their pricing strategy. Previously (as of before the pandemic), the lobster was priced by the pound, which is the conventional way of doing it. However, they seem to have two lobster prices. The first one is called "Big Lobster" and they say it's between 2 and 2 and half pounds per lobster. The price of that (as of this review) is $56 dollars, or $28 per pound. That's not really a bad price at all. It's expensive, but reasonable. The other lobster is called "Live Lobster" and is priced $10 less at $46. So the real question is how much does this second version weigh? I ordered the Big Lobster, but they said they were out of it. I asked the weight of the "Live Lobster" but I didn't really get a straight answer, but he seemed to say "about two pounds" which doesn't really make sense because that's the price of the larger, more expensive lobster. But I decided to go for it anyway. As I stated in my last review, I'm guessing this lobster is at least two pounds, based on many years of eating lobster. For this review, I had ChatGPT translate the the Chinese on the menu, thinking it was secret code for "if you can read Chinese, save ten dollars by ordering this version" but AI says the Chinese means "lobster" so if you spoke Chinese, you'd still be mystified. So my recommendation is order the version that is ten dollars cheaper and you may (or may not) be paying $23 a pound. Price aside, I love this version of lobster and it is certainly a better deal than what you would pay at an American style seafood or steak restaurant in the Twin Cities.

It was nice visiting and enjoying some of our previously go-to dishes. The soft shell crab made with golden garlic style was as delicious as I remembered, although at a much higher price now ($44+) for the dish. The seafood soup was a nice start to our meal, would have been even better if they had red vinegar. The mapo tofu and eggplant dishes that we ordered ended up being very similar in taste/sauce/seasoning but still pretty good. The service was pretty fast and the staff was friendly.

The noodles were excellent just the right consistency that you get out of hand-pulled noodles. The restaurant was overall very quiet and laid back. With pretty artwork and a nice vibe. The window where you can see them making the noodles was a really nice touch. Parking was a little tricky (make sure to park in back) but if you can snag a spot you don't have to worry about street parking. We'll definitely be back one of these days for more noodles!
