This is a standard subpar neighborhood Chinese joint - 2 stars. I've driven by this place literally hundreds of times and I finally tried them out tonight. Unfortunately, it was as bad as I feared. It's just another substandard Chinese place that seems to proliferate in every neighborhood and every community in Minnesota. It's almost like they all follow the same formula...a bad formula. Wong's "Gourmet" is strictly pickup and delivery. They have their own delivery staff. There are a few chairs for waiting but no dining area. You can see this used to be a sit-down joint but the dining room on the right side is now a dark storage area. Kinda tacky. A room divider or a curtain might makes things look a little more professional. And the big light-up menu behind the counter is a vintage leftover from a previous life with fading lights, no prices, and old menu items. Again, tacky. The menu is just a thing glued to the wall by the register. If you're smart, this is the time you might want to run away. Just as I predicted, this place dishes out lots of overcooked food with low grade ingredients. Everything is overcooked to death. All the nice bright greens, reds, yellows, whites you normally see in fresh veggies are l-o-n-g gone. The greens are all faded green, soft, and overcooked. My beef was really chewy and rubbery, obviously low grade meat. I always like to check-out the beef dishes. I love good beef but it's also a good indicator of what's going on with the recipes, the food quality, and the cooking skills...or lack thereof. My Hot Sour Soup was lame and disappointing. My traditional style Egg Rolls were okay, I guess. They're about 1/3 smaller than normal egg rolls. (But then again, they give you 3 of them.) And finally, my Hot Spicy Beef was also disappointing. It was overcooked with rubbery beef cuts. It wasn't hot or spicy either. I detected some red hot pepper specks here & there but I definitely couldn't taste any of them. If I see the red hot pepper warning symbol on the menu, I definitely want some real actual heat & flavor, please! Come on, what's the problem? The best I can say about Wong's Gormet is the food is cheap, it's made quickly, and it comes out piping hot. It might be a nice change for a family on a budget that's tired of fast food burgers and pizza. But personally, I'd rather go for a Big Mac or a Domino's Pizza instead of this stuff. Technically, it might not be as healthy but it definitely tastes better. BTW, if you want some good Asian food nearby, there are several EXCELLENT options within a 5 or 10 minute drive on Central Avenue and University Avenue. There are also a couple of decent buffets. Checkout Yelp and sort for "Highest Rated" - the Yelp reviewers won't let you down. I won't be visiting this one again. Next... -Maxx

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.

We have not been to Shuang Cheng in a while - it was one of our favorite places for seafood when we…read morewere younger/recent college grads. 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.

Came here on a Sunday night looking for a bite to eat with my brother. At the door we were greeted…read moreby the owner who spoke very little English (a tell tale sign of some kickass Chinese food). She seated us in a roomy booth and immediately brought us some waters. We ordered a the fried dumplings and the sesame balls. Both were absolutely delectable, best of each I've had in my life. The sesame balls had a crispy sesame coated exterior with a sticky bun interior and sweet bean filling. The fried dumplings were perfectly cooked to delicate perfection and were accompanied by a soy sauce with freshly minced garlic. Those didn't last 2 minutes on the table. We ordered the twice cooked pork and stirfry lamb as entrees and, as other reviews have said, the portions were generous. As for the the meats, they were thinly sliced, tender, and cooked to perfection. The spice level was right on point, not enough to numb your tastebuds but surly will leave you with clear sinuses. The spice contributed significantly to the succulent flavors found in each dish. Each entree comes with a bowl of buttery white rice. As a man of high caloric intake I was very satisfied with this establishment's CPD factor. As a genuine touch, there is heartfelt apology for rising prices due to rising ingredient cost and bird flu found at the bottom of each menu. 10/10 will eat again.

I wanted something spicy Chinese and gave this place a shot. Spoiler alert, it wasn't but I also…read morehave a pretty high tolerance, and we are in Minnesota (no shade). 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!

The server was very friendly and informative, even joked around with us a little. It didn't look like reservations were needed, except maybe on busy days like Mother's Day. The food was amazing. Potstickers were, of course, super good, but so was everything else. Portions were generous. I got the pork belly fried rice and I think I have enough leftovers for another three or four meals. There is a small parking lot in back, but you have to walk around the building to get to the door. I would say it is not handicapped friendly. If you park in back it would be hard to get to the door unless you are able to make it half way around the block. If you park in front it is just street parking. My dad uses a walker and we were lucky enough to get a spot right in front of the restaurant, anything else would have been a problem. Spacing inside the restaurant is pretty tight as well. Once dad sat down they had to take his walker into the back because there was no room in the seating area. We were packed in pretty tightly and very close to the table next to us. Overall, delicious food! We will be back!
