    Kung Pao Chicken & Mei Fun thin noodles

    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.

    Beef and broccoli + eggroll
    Ethan H.

    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.

    Our little spread of food ordered

    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.

    General Tso's Chicken - not bad
    Rachel W.

    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...

    "Chowmein" noodles

    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.

    Singapore Chow Mei Fun
    Ellie B.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Bean curd home style ($8.75). Not bad, but oily.
    Kedar D.

    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.

    There is a reason why a restaurant survives for 36 years. It has to have great quality food, be…read moreconsistent, have good service, and fair pricing. It helps too to have a well maintained, attractive place to eat. Shuang Cheng has ticked those boxes for three and half plus decades. Let's start with one of the most basic items: Wonton Soup. Boring, I hear you say! Well, consider this: broth that has a deep, deep flavor and wasn't something that was an afterthought. Generous slices of roasted pork, tender wonton wrappers stuffed with a great-tasting filling. Boring? Hardly. It's literally the best wonton soup I've ever had. OK, what about something like lobster with black bean sauce. Nailed it. Sweet, generous portion of lobster in a sauce so good, you can use it as a dip for your lobster and it's fantastic over the rice. EMPEROR'S CHICKEN (15.85) - My wife varied from her usual Sesame Chicken (which she thinks is better than any other Chinese restaurant) and is a lightly breaded and deep fried chicken fillet slices of ham over a bed of bok choy and mushrooms. Perfect she said. The service is always good, the restaurant was remodeled a few years ago and if you can overcome the parking challenge in Dinkytown, this traditional Cantonese restaurant deserves a permanent place on your regular restaurant rotation. Enough said.

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 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 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.
