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!

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 ordered the juicy pork buns which were essentially pork soup dumplings. You get 6 pieces in an order. It was nice! Dumpling wrapper was nice and delicate, appropriate amount of soup in each dumpling, and filling was flavorful. It comes with a sweet soy sauce on the side but each table has their own soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili oil to customize to your liking. We also ordered the Master Noodle Beef Soup. It's indicated as "spicy" but I felt that it could be spicier so I added more chili oil. Comes with slow cooked beef and 2 giant beef ribs. Noodles are bouncy and al dente. They are generous with the amount of noodles. Soup looked spicy but I didn't think it had much heat. Nice topping of cilantro. Definitely recommend this place. Service was friendly and helpful. They came by frequently to fill our water.

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.

I think we caught the tail end of their dim sum hours, which end at 2pm that day. As soon as we sat down, the staff rolled over countless trays of deliciousness and we immediately started feasting! Attentive service and honestly you can't go wrong with anything here. Since we arrived later in the day, I think some items had run out; sadly, we didn't get to try the dan tat (egg tarts)! Overall, a positive experience, though the dim sum was definitely on the pricier side.

It was prepared within 10 minutes. Not sure if that's the actual name, but we clarified to make sure it was the one with liquid inside.

The sweet and salty flavors balanced each other, and there was enough bready part to dip in the inner custard. Some pineapple buns are too bland, plain, or dry but not this one.

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

Definitely make a reservation -- I came at 4:30pm on a Saturday and by 5pm every table was full. There is free street parking available. Service was friendly. -- The potsticker sampler comes with one of each potsticker flavor and it was so fun to try so many flavors! It was served with a sheet that identifies the different flavors so you know what you're trying. The kimchi pork potsticker was my favorite! The wrapping is chewy and the bottoms are crisped to perfection. -- The buddha's delight was huge and had so many fresh veggies! The veggies were perfectly cooked and not soggy. The sauce is very mild and on the blander side, so I definitely recommend getting a side of the chili oil (old godmother hot sauce) and dumping it in! The chili oil was super flavorful and packed a lot of heat, and the fried garlic pieces were so good. -- With most cocktails being $12, they're quite reasonable and they have a bunch of fun asian flavors. The Yuzu Ginger Collins was refreshing.

I swirl it for 10 seconds or so then let it rest on my sauce of choice - sesame paste sauce, or chili garlic oil sauce. I'll eat it, along with noodle or rice, a qail egg perhaps. My mouth explodes with flavor. Every time. Hot pot, hot pot. In my gastronomical journey through life, Chinese hot pot is possibly my greatest encounter. And locally, it's Le Pot. Best broth bases - mala spicy, pork bone, and Tom yum are endorsed by me and my girlfriend Great foodstuffs - qual egg, udon noodles, good fatty beef, crab sticks, good old cabbage, tofu, bean curd, enoki mushroom etc - Lamb and pork are alright at this location, could be better Great sauce bar, as I can assemble my staples - Sauce 1: black vinegar, chili oil with flake, garlic oil with garlic, sesame oil, scallions, cilantro (about equal parts and adjust); season with sugar, salt and soy sauce if desired - Sauce 2: lots of sesame paste, and leave as is or maybe add scallions, chili oil, sesame seed **I do wish they had chive paste** - Sauce 3: Oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, cilantro, green onion, black vinegar Value - it's like 30-35 dollars a person here. - I often leave more satisfied here than I do after a "fancy" night on the north loop What's missing - ambiance is okay - I do like a huge communal pot - Chive flower paste - Pork and lamb could be better - Broths are good, but I like the Chicago restaurants best Local hot pot honorable mentions - the place at Asia Mall with the electric rack innovation - Legendary Spice - you are free to grab a tray and raid their fridges/freezers for whatever meat, vegetable, etc you want. But the borth wasn't as good. Overall, it's rather expensive but quality is in some ways lower than Le Pot. - J Pot - Korean bbq and hot pot. The Chinese flavors were not as authentic, broths not as good to me, but wow having Korean bbq and hot pot at the same time! It's a decent value too.
