Interior of vegetable egg roll ($5.25). Layered wrapper and good filling.
Vegetable lo mein ($10.50). Tasty and light.
Curry tofu ($11). Tasty & fragrant, though very liquid w/lots of oil. Tofu overcooked and soft/soggy.
Sweet & sour pork, fried rice & the worst chow mein I ever had
Kung po tofu ($11), modified w/o celery. Liquidy & oily. Soggy tofu. Not amazing, but not bad.

Stopped in for some much raved about wings and egg rolls. While the wings were okay they were quite small had barely any meat on them and were basically all batter. I like wings that are plump and have some meat in them. These were really lacking much meat.Egg rolls were good, but not the best I've ever had. Received a free order of spring rolls for placing an order over $50.Okay, but not that great for the price.

I love old-school Americanized Chinese restaurants, especially those in the Midwest. Kim's Chow Mein is like a time capsule and serves a rapidly vanishing style of cooking. It's not spectacular, and the leftovers don't hold up well, but it's perfectly respectable (hence the 3 stars, which is not a bad review in my book).Located in a turn of the century building in St. Paul, it's neighborhood-centric and perfect with thick blue carpet and office ceiling tiles (I know, that sounds dated and weird, but I love it; it reminds me of my childhood).The vegetable egg rolls ($5.25) are great here: a layered wrapper with a nice filling. Not oily, not dry, not mushy. Just perfect and nicely crisp.The kung po tofu ($11) doesn't have a ton of flavor, but is fine (I got mine without celery). The tofu is destroyed, though, and slippery/soft/soggy in the liquidy sauce.The curry tofu ($11) is better with a fragrant sauce, but has a similarly watery/liquid sauce. That said, it's flavorful and better than the gloopy, cornstarch-laden sauces at other Chinese spots.Lastly, I liked the freshness and lightness of the vegetable lo mein ($10.50). Stop by Kim's Chow Mein for solid Americanized Chinese food. Hunan Restaurant in Bloomington and Yangtze in St. Louis Park are even better.

I had how hopes "Kim's Chow Mein" was going to finally be the restaurant that gave me that " Ratatouille feeling* instead I got heartburn, indigestion & diarrhea. If, I can't dine in I will past is motto diving into "2023"

Kim's is exactly what you want in a neighborhood Chinese takeout restaurant. You'll get straightforward Americanized classics, but also some high-quality surprises, like the pork with vermicelli. Plus the staff couldn't be nicer, and your food will be ready ASAP and priced right. We call ahead, but you can also walk in.

Fast, tasty, and good price! Will for sure return. Pick up was easy and socially distance. There was a essentially a pick up window in the entry way. Highly recommend the lunch specials!

I wish I would have saved pictures of the food but it was spot on. Came in to hang out during a school bus trip and stopped by this little Chinese spot because it was the one food option next to where I parked.Got the curry chicken with fried rice, pot stickers and egg drop soup and it was nothing short of phenomenal. Generous portions with well seasoned and cooked food. I expected the tray to be one part rice and other part chicken but it was all chicken and the rice was in a separate container. It was some of the best Chinese food I have had in a while. I will be back for more!!

All I can say is it got the job done. Got number 1 was fine. That's it. Cream cheese puffs tasted weird like old. Probably won't be back

It was a restaurant, but now only take out. Nothing fancy, few goldfish in a tank. Average price. I asked for spicy and it was. The big basket of wings is their "deal".
