Friendly atmosphere and clearly a family business, though take-out only so not much more to say. Very timely service and friendly, helpful. Really good food. Some things are better than others, but that's how it is with a Chinese-American menu, some things are regional to other areas but they make it anyway because Americans expect it. Ingredients are always fresh, and the spicy and more rich flavor dishes have been amazing (sour, sweet things more middling but classic sweet and sour sauce with fresh, crispy fried meat is always good.) read more

Delicious, savory, and not salty - definitely recommended! Photos are from the lunch special. Great prices! read more

I ordered shrimp egg foo young and hot and sour soup. Decent size portions and delicious. Since it is take out only not much to be said about ambiance but my order was ready when I arrived. The lady was friendly and after confirming the order and the amount due she processed the payment quickly and said to feel free to help myself to various sauces. read more

The Chow Mei Fun was very tasty. The Chicken Garlic was loaded with vegetables and tasted really good. The spring rolls were more like egg rolls which I wasn't the biggest fan of but they were still good. read more

First time ordering and I think I will be back! Kung Pao Chicken (not overly breaded and good amount of green peppers and peanuts) & Veg Mei Fun noodles fresh with good flavor. read more

Xin Wong - Kung Pao Chicken & Mei Fun thin noodles - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is a classic, no-frills American Chinese takeout spot. I'll preface this review by saying I can only speak for the beef & broccoli lunch special. The dish was piping hot, service was super quick, but disappointingly restrained when it came to flavor. The lunch special comes with a choice of rice and side along with an entree. I got chicken fried rice and an eggroll. Each item shared a similar flavor profile that was led by salt, the rice too salty to eat. I hate to say it, but Trader Joe's frozen beef and broccoli is more flavorful. This place's saving grace is the freshness of the ingredients they use-- the meat and veggies I had were top notch! Frustratingly so, in fact, since it shows the potential this place has. read more

Xin Wong - Beef and broccoli + eggroll - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Really solid Chinese food! We typically get the same things...Sesame Chicken, Lo Mein, Fried Rice, Beef and Broccoli. It's all good every single time. read more

We love ordering from Xin Wong whenever we are in the mood for Chinese delivery. They are always very quick and food is fresh. Just wish that they would put more veggies in the lomein. Any dish that is marked spicy will come with a kick. We've been very happy with our food orders. It's nice that they are not so far away as well from our house. Prices are reasonable especially with the combo dinners. I love their Sichuan and Hunan style most because I like spicy. Loved that they have online ordering. We've done catering trays here too and they are very accommodating and very reasonable too. Would recommend it. read more

Xin Wong - Our little spread of food ordered - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hidden gem!! My favorite Chinese take-out! I am addicted to their brocolli hot garlic dish. All of the veggies in their entrees are so good and fresh--never overcooked. Yummy. It's not really a dine-in place - the ambience is not amazing but I think that's just because they put all their effort into amazing food. Love!! read more

Mostly disappointed. I am on a mission to find a good Chinese takeaway and was hoping this would be it. My criteria was someplace that had good (notice, I wasn't expecting delicious or out of this world), or even relatively mediocre. Price for the amount was really the only redeeming quality. We tried the General Tso's chicken with pork fried rice. The chicken was not bad (but not that good either). The fried rice was *bad* - not sure it was even fried rice; it was reminiscent of microwave dinner rice but sadly less flavorful. Needless to say, my search continues... read more

Our dinner was well, just awful. Gelatinous comes to mind. We ordered. Chowmein, Mongolian beef, chicken, wings, and cream cheese wontons. I was really craving chowmein and was so disappointed to open the bag and see a prepackaged fried noodle. Not to mention the sliminess of the sauce. Honestly, it went directly into the garbage after a few bites. The layer of grease on everything was stunning. Never again. A complete waste of money. The only upside was a super quick delivery. read more

Xin Wong - "Chowmein" noodles - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I ordered in from Xin Wong after a long day out celebrating with friends, I was craving some good food and wow did this deliver! I ordered a quart of wonton soup and the Singapore Chow Mei Fun. The wonton soup quite literally made my night, it was so flavorful and comforting. It tasted just like the wonton soup my family used to order when I was younger. The Singapore chow mei fun was also delicious! It was perfectly cooked and had a great curry flavor. I also loved that it came with shrimp, roast pork, and chicken! Portions were very large and I was left with several servings of leftovers for the week. I am still thinking about the wonton soup and will absolutely be ordering from here again soon! read more

Solid Chinese take out with better than average appetizers. Big kitchen with a lot of people cooking. The website is a great way to order and even on a busy night they will get it out Food wise most of it is pretty much like most other Chinese take out places. Except the appetizers. They are above average. Cheese filled wontons, deep fried shrimp, even the egg rolls are above average. read more

This take out only Chinese restaurant in SW Minneapolis is quite good. Always prompt pick up.

Sometimes you just need Chinese take out. I started to write cheap Chinese take out but it isn't cheap anymore. I was in the mood and Xin Won was closest to my house so away I went. I shared three egg rolls and an order of fried rice with my wife and the total with tip was over $20. The food was far from great even for hole in the wall Chinese. Xin won is pretty much take out. They have two small tables but I would find it depressing to actually eat there. Service is friendly. The person behind the counter seemed happy to have my business and my order came out fast. The food was mediocre even by Chinese take out standards. The shrimp fried rice had only shrimp and rice - no veggies, no egg bits, and the shrimp were under cooked so the whole dish had to be microwaved briefly. The egg rolls were okay but small. Next time I have an urge for Chinese take out I will look a bit further afield. PS. They must use a ton of salt or MSG. An hour after eating I was tremendously thirsty and my mouth felt like the middle of the Sahara. I felt horrible and spent a miserable afternoon until the effects wore off. Never again. read more

I ordered takeout from Xin Wong late on a Sunday night. The restaurant itself is not meant to be overly utilized as a seating area so takeout is the way to go. I ordered the cream cheese wontons and the sweet and sour chicken. The cream cheese wontons were great. There was 8 of them in the order and had the right amount of breading, which for me means really light breading with no excessive crust surrounding the pocket of cream cheese. Upon opening my sweet and sour chicken I noticed the chicken was dry and I was to use the wonton dipping sauce on my chicken. I thought this was a bit odd and by the time I got to the chicken I was tired of the wonton dipping sauce after having eaten it with my wontons. I recommend ordering a noodle dish if you go here as my friend got one and it looked far superior to my chicken. read more

Xin Wong - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Ordered delivery, they didn't include my rice. Which, was pretty crucial for my meal. I called and they acknowledged they forgot to include it. The girl was snotty and unapologetic. They said it would take too long for another driver to come bring me the rice, but they could give a discount on my NEXT order. I said no, I want the rice now, so I can eat my dinner....she just got louder and more rude and said it was take a really long time (but it only took 20 minutes for this order). They said they would refund me $2. Unbelievable. Will never order from here again. They care nothing about customer service. read more

Let me preface this by stating that I LOVE Chinese food. I love authentic Chinese food (I spent a few months in China), but I also love Americanized Chinese food. I am in the search for the best cheap Chinese lunch special of any sort in Minneapolis and while I have been to Xin Wong before, I forgot to review it. It's located in a safe neighborhood in South Minneapolis. There is parking inside of the strip mall and there are a few small tables if you choose to dine in. I got the General Tso's lunch special, extremely hot. They did a good job of giving it some heat and the chicken was quite tender. One plus that I really liked about Xin Wong is that they offer chicken fried rice as an option as opposed to the traditional pork fried rice. Very nice combination of flavors on things with the sauce not being overwhelmingly sweet. Lone downside was that the egg roll was a tad subpar, both in terms of size and taste. Overall, it was a nice deal for $8 for entree, fried rice, and egg roll or soup. Living just a few blocks south of downtown, it's a little bit of a hike depending on traffic, but I'll definitely be hitting it again when over that way. P.S. Sorry for the picture, as I was starving and one of the few humans left on earth who still use a BlackBerry. read more

Xin Wong - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I had hopes Xin Wong would be my bulletproof, affordable and slightly-above-average-in-flavor Americanized Chinese food stripmall joint. It's not quite that, but it's decent, if oily. Pro-tip: their website is old-school (and made me worry it's not secure) but I successfully placed an online order and don't have credit card fraud! The vegetable rolls ($1.50 each) had good texture but were full of celery, which ruined them. The vegetable fried rice ($5.25), which I asked to be made without egg, was bland. The kung pao tofu ($8.75) was decent, but full of celery. It's always a crapshoot whether or not kung pao will have celery, so be warned. The vegetable chow fun ($8.35) lacked flavor and featured overcooked, mushy noodles. Take a pass. Lastly, the broccoli with garlic sauce ($8.25) and bean curd home style ($8.75) both tasted all right, but were drowning in oil. If you're looking for Americanized Chinese food in Minneapolis, Xin Wong isn't bad and I'm not sure there's any place significantly better. Hunan Restaurant in Bloomington is solid, but a longer drive. For authentic Szechuan/Chinese food, check out Grand Szechuan in Bloomington, Szechuan Spice in Minneapolis, or Tea House/Legendary Spice/Lao Sze Chuan in Stadium Village/Prospect Park. read more

Holy fast, Batman! If you want Chinese takeout at lightning speeds, this is your place. I'm talkin' like we literally ordered our food via phone (although in the past have always ordered online) while leaving the Super America parking lot on 35th & Nicollet, and by the time we scootered the 12 blocks down Nicollet to Xin Wong, it was already ready for pick-up. That's mind-blowingly fast service. We brought it home to devour, and devour we did. I'm not going to play-by-play this whole meal because it's just easier to tell you that it was all great. Cream cheese wontons to share, veggie lo mein combo platter for me (with veggie fried rice and veggie only egg roll, did you guess I'm vegetarian?), and General Tso chicken combo platter for my boyfriend (with pork fried rice and regular egg roll). Everything was hot, flavorful, salty, filling, delicious. The perfect dinner at home with Netflix after a progressive happy hour of cocktails out on the town. In the past, I've had the mixed veggies which are hit and miss, sometimes soggy with too much brown sauce, but other times fresh and crunchy. The white rice is always well cooked, but tonight went for the fried and it was good, too. My boyfriend almost always gets the General Tso chicken and considers it among the best anywhere. Everything comes with extra sauce packets (sweet & sour, soy, spicy mustard), chop sticks if you want, and fortune cookies. My fortune is too funny not to share: "Watch your relations without other people carefully, he reserved." Um, your guess is as good as mine.... Again, the speed tho. It bears repeating. Called, drove down the street, and it was ready for pick up. Literally less than 10 minutes. read more

Xin Wong - Beef & broccoli, vegetable lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Have only ordered delivery, but I highly recommend this place. Great food for a reasonable price. Awesome service every time, especially with some severe allergys that my family has. We once ordered twice in the same day and they called us to confirm it wasn't a mistake. No, we just love your food that much! read more

We were looking for a solid Chinese food spot near Uptown when we stumbled upon Xin Wong, a hidden gem nestled in a strip mall on Nicollet Ave. We ordered the General Tso's, Singapore Chow Mein Fun, pork lo mein, and cream cheese wontons. All of our entrees were delicious and flavorful, as well as not being greasy or oily. When you order a combination platter (similar in price to a regular entree), you get fried rice and egg rolls on the side. You can't beat the price point! My friend has a shellfish allergy and they accommodated all of our special notes on the order for her food to be safe. We ordered through the Beyond Menu app for pickup and it was seamless and fast. This is definitely going to be on our staples list! With the quality, close location, and affordability, we had a great experience at Xin Wong. read more

Xin Wong - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This place does fast, hot, standard, consistently good Chinese food. I enjoyed the Orange Chicken and the General Tso's Chicken. Sometimes the phone lines are so busy, and not everyone on the phone knows the menu, so it has been a bit challenging. But I'm confident they work to get all the orders right. Even before Covid, this is a almost entirely take out place, as there is very limited seating. And they seem to be doing great business during Covid, so cheers to them. read more

Best Chinese food in south Minneapolis:). I've been going for 15 plus years after Evergreen Chinese closed;)

I saw a lot of good reviews for this place, so I was excited. Ordered on-line and picked up my food earlier today and headed home to work for the rest of the day. Shockingly, it didn't start off very well. I'm concerned that my Egg Foo Young did not have any gravy either on it or in a container in the bag, and for that alone I give it 2 stars. It doesn't even matter what I think about the rest of the food because I have no idea what their EFY gravy tastes like, which is important to me. the patties were good and rice was good (although I'd prefer a white rice option). The eggroll was a pretty good Chinese eggroll; crispier than most and thinner, which was nice. The hot and sour soup was better than most. It had these beautiful mushrooms and lots of egg. General Tsao chicken (recommended by a lot of reviews) was okay, over breaded and kind of mushy. The sauce was rather bland. Friend rice was good but I do prefer white rice. I feel like I need to give them another chance but IDK. You get a lot for your money but I would rather have some dank gravy on my EFY, yo. I may try again and I'll LYK read more

Our new go to Chinese takeout. Good portions, love the combo dinner plates. My kung pao chicken had generous amounts of chicken in it. Everything was tasty. read more

This is your basic hole in the wall strip mall Chinese takeout joint. It was very fast. We walked in ordered our food, shrimp with broccoli combo with eggroll for me and Kong pow chicken egg roll combo for him. There were two tables and we sat down at one of them to wait. I would say less than five minutes. Mine had at least six big shrimps and maybe six big pieces of broccoli with lots of fried rice that was a tad dry. The sauce was not too spicy, not too sweet, pretty perfect. The eggroll seems like it had been cooked in oil a tad past it's prime. The bill for our food was a little over $17. We didn't see forks, only chopsticks, so we went for it! Rice can be shoveled in with chopsticks, no problem... read more

Wonderful experience. Lunch menu met all my expectations: quality, quantity and price. This, my first visit, will definitely be my Chinese first choice. I only encountered one glitch which was that they had no entrance directly off Nicollet-I had to enter from 49th street. Online menu was very detailed, but I had to use my card in person as the app wouldn't accept it. Will be back Egg Foo YungSweet and Sour Chicken and chicken w/peapod. read more

Well, I don't think 90 minutes is an acceptable time for delivery. Especially when the person on the phone stated 35 / 45 minutes. This order was barely warm. The food tastes good, but, I don't like being lied to. The delivery guy said, 'sorry we are busy'. If that is the case, then tell your customers, ON THE PHONE, so we know what to expect. read more

Having found the Chinese takeout of my dreams, Mei Inn, I'm rarely tempted to stray. However, last week I gave into temptation and gave Xin Wong a try. I ordered (online) Steamed Dumplings, Shrimp Toast, Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Egg Foo Young. Despite its being Chinese/American, unctuous comfort food (or maybe because of it) I love a good Shrimp Toast. Alas, Mei Inn does not offer this appetizer. So Xin Wong has this going for them. Four crispy, savory toast points great for dipping in hot mustard, soy or sweet/sour sauce. Otherwise, I prefer Mei Inn. Not that there's anything wrong with the dumplings, fried rice and egg foo young at Xin Wong. In fact, I do like their somewhat thinner patties with the rich brown gravy served on the side. It's just that Xin Wong doesn't provide for me the whole package of fondly recalled food from my youth mixed with nostalgia for a simpler time. I expect I'll be back occasionally for the Shrimp Toast and to give the Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken and other menu items a try. But Mei Inn remains my go to place for Chinese/American takeout. read more

The food here has gotten steadily less interesting over the years. Even the perfunctory couple of pieces of steamed broccoli that used to accompany the fried entrees have disappeared. And the eggrolls...so tiny now that they are kind of embarrassing. I have given up, which is disappointing as it used to be my go-to American-style Chinese restaurant. read more

They deliver! Solid American Chinese food. I like the Mongolian beef and fried rice. Egg rolls are solid as is sesame chicken.

Great American-style Chinese food that my wife & I constantly go back to. What I love the most about their fare is its consistency. It's not necessarily the fancy Michelin star rating version of Chinese; it's good familiar Americanized Chinese food that consistently delivers the goods & never leaves you with a bad entree. In addition, I've found the place to a nice indulgence as I've grown more vegan in my diet, because of the tofu dishes they provide, include Kung Pao Tofu and General Tso's Tofu. I also like their Sautéed Broccoli. The broccoli is served with just the right amount of sauce, but not too much that the broccoli is drowning. In addition, the texture of the broccoli is just right with out feeling rubbery from overcooking. My wife and I will order about $50-60 worth of Chinese food from them, but the portions will be so generous that we're eating at least 2 days on 1 order. read more

Tried ordering from them today and, over an hour later, I still haven't heard anything back from them or received my food (which has never been the case before with other restaurants in the area). Their website states that my order was accepted and I received an email stating as such. They also took my card information, but nobody answered the phone both times I called. I'm starting to suspect it's just not going to be filled, but I have no way of knowing if that's actually the case or not. Even if they let me know "we're sorry but your order couldn't be processed at this time," I would be understanding, but being stuck in a limbo of not knowing and (due to the long wait and no response from them) many other places closing for the night in the meantime has made this a truly disappointing experience. I'll be sure to remove or update this review if I actually do receive my food, but I'm posting this all the same in case it is not received. read more

This is our new go-to for Chinese take out! You just cannot beat how good the food is at this price! We always order the combination platter which includes your choice of meat, a side of rice, and one egg roll. The portions are enormous! Honestly, my husband nor I could finish it which meant leftovers for lunch. Yes! Who doesn't love leftovers? We also order the won tons. You get 8 wontons for about 4 bucks! The wontons are amazing. They don't skimp on the cream cheese which is the only reason anyone orders them. They also don't use styrofoam with their takeout which is great. Three cheers for recyclable takeout options! read more

Xin Wong - This is about half of my takeout order. Sesame chicken, veggie fried rice, and egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is my favorite Americanized Chinese food in the cities! Always super fresh and fast and tasty. The entrees I get are not overly sugary, which is hard to find sometimes. Their prices are reasonable and they have super fast delivery. If you're thinking of going to a chain, I'd skip it and come here! Yum. Edited to add: we ordered tonight and it literally got to our front door in 15 minutes, which is just about as long as it takes to drive here. Magic! read more

This is the perfect Chinese spot for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. I HIGHLY recommend the Walnut Tofu. It is on the chefs special menu and is good fresh, and re-fried with leftover white rice the next day. The egg rolls and wontons are good - really all of the little details they just tend to get right. Our house order: Walnut tofu Veggie egg roll Moo shoo vegetables Beef lo mein Fried dumplings 2x wontons You're welcome read more

Food is good . . . as to when or where they will deliver it is a matter of chance. You may or may not get what you order. Tried them several times when in town delivered to my condo. Even with clear instructions to call upon arrival . . . they may or may not call. The food may or may not be where you instructed them to put it. So far 3 out of 5 times I had to get a refund. One time they told me "Man doesn't read or understand English." No satisfactory why they would send him then . . . not my problem. I recommend Fresh Wok for good food and on time delivery read more

Cheap, quick, flavorful, good poritons, not too oily, cooked by a local family - what's not to like? - Hot and spicy beef is delicious, full of aromatic onions and peppers and of course, beef. Fried rice was flavorful as well. Also, the lunch special was just $6.25! - Singapore Mei Fun was also tasty, had a good amount of egg in it. A bit greasy, but tasty. It is Americanized Cantonese style chinese food, but hey it is what is typically known as "Chinese". The only complaint I have is I ordered extra spicy, but it tasted only medium spicy. Had to break out my own hot sauce. read more
