    Sui Yep is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the twin cities! It is very low key and quiet, and the service is very friendly and kind. The prices are reasonable too! I love it!

    Fast, fresh, and tasty. This place is pretty close to my place and is always a great go-to when I don't feel like cooking. The people at the cafe are super nice and friendly and the food is a great value for what you get. Nothing makes me happier than getting a bunch of food for a good price. My go-to for Chinese take-out in the Payne Phalen Neighborhood.

    This little place has the best Chow Mein I have ever had and their prices can't be beat! Their noodles are made fresh and are crisp and delicious. Even the rice is plentiful and perfectly cooked. I could eat here every single day and not get bored. Their menu is extensive and everything I have tried was fabulous. The staff is friendly and patient, the food is delicious and affordable. What more can you ask for in a restaurant?!?

    Food's as good as when my wife's family took out from Sui Yep in the 1950s-1960s. Amazing

    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.

Easier to call ahead. Back when it was dine in there was barely anyone there. Taste has been consistent for many years. they are not friendly but the food makes up for it. Prices definitely went up but it's still the best deal around. We still order for our holiday parties. Lately we've just been ordering when we crave it. I've always loved how the restaurant actually looks like a house, makes me wonder if anyone is living upstairs.

The skin is so flavorful and the meat is tender. The bag of drippings it comes with it is liquid gold -- drizzle that over the duck and a bed of rice (rice not included). You can request extra drippings. Call ahead to reserve a roast duck with a pick up time, as they can get busy and run out. One roast duck fills a standard square styrofoam container. The restaurant is carry out only. It's located in the middle of a bunch of warehouses and there's a big free parking lot. The roast pork is also good and has a thick crispy crust, but the duck is definitely the star.
