Shuang Cheng Restaurant

Food hit the spot for what I was looking for and they have your standard staples for Chinese food which is probably why a lot of people seem to get takeout here! I found a little corner and ordered wonton soup and their egg foo young. I felt like the wonton soup was great and the soup wasn't as salty as some other places make it, but the egg foo young curry wasn't something I would necessarily go for again. Next time I would probably go for one of their seafood stir fried rice noodles, maybe the beef chow fun, or something different. Portion size was pretty great given the size though and I was able to take a bit home. Service was a little slow but quick overall. Per my rule of thumb for Chinese restaurants back in LA though, the service probably won't be the most prompt and might be a little curt (a little water was poured outside of my cup and wasn't even wiped away) but I think it definitely hits the spot and nostalgic in a way with the food and cooking style. In all honesty, it can't beat some of my fav hole in the walls in LA, but it hits the spot when you're homesick.Since it was in a college town the vibes were very college town. Parking is also difficult as a result. Overall though it seems quite popular and I'd be interested in getting takeout next time I'm in the cities with friends! :)

I love this restaurant for Chinese Food! It is reliably excellent and always delivers. My wife had her usual Sesame Chicken, while I started with a bowl of their excellent wonton soup. This is not your average wonton soup! It comes with stuffed pork dumplings, a deep, rich broth, and slivers of both green onions and sliced pork. If you like wonton soup, you will LOVE their version. You can get either a cup or a bowl.In my last review, I said that the price of their lobster was getting to be out of reach. However, my body was craving their lobster with black bean sauce, and this time I couldn't resist. The price was a hefty $46, but it was a large lobster that I'm guessing was about two pounds. So value-wise, it was a fair price.The lobster was worth the price because I devoured every last bit of it, including licking the shells for the black bean sauce (I have no shame!). I washed it down with the included excellent tea and love how the sauce covered the white rice. This is not a dish for a firsts date, since it's impossible to eat this gracefully. But it is SOOOO worth it!Parking sucks, but we've always lucked out with street parking if you go on the earlier side.

Food: tastyService: quick and friendlyAmbiance: feels somewhat like a mom and pop Chinese restaurantI ordered the fish fillet with black bean sauce lunch special with the cream cheese wontons and white rice. The fish was well cooked and tasted fresh! The veggies were crunchy, and the sauce had a good kick to it.As for the cream cheese wontons, they were fine/good. The shell was super crispy/crunchy and the inside was just plain cream cheese. I do wish they gave the Thai chili sauce instead of the duck sauce for them. That would make them even better!

Absolutely one of mu favorite Chinese restaurants. The menu is huge and everything I have had is great. Anything with the black bean sauce is delicious and the green beans are so garlicy and perfectly Sliced. The orange chicken is nice too. The service is friendly and efficient I appreciate that everything is served Chinese style, meaning things come out asnthey are finished, so not everyone gets their food at once. This is annoying to some, but it's very authentic and the dishes are often meant to be shared in China. The ambiance is low key and inviting. I would definitely recommend this place!

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in TC, and we have been here dozens of time. The food is good, less "americanized" as in other places, it's a favorite for a diverse crowd of patrons, and is always busy. It's not as good as, say more authentic Chinese places on the coasts that are lucky to have China Towns, but itnis a gem for the midwest for sure.The drawbacks are - long waits - even when you have a table secured, it takes a while for you to get your food (it's a big place- lots of people to serve). Some of the dishes are also more greasy than we enjoy. Aside from that - it's worth your visit

Visiting Minneapolis for the first time - we decided to have some Chinese food after we landed -ended up in the university district at this place. I had a roast duck special for $10.95 -so cheap -and my husband had the roast pork special for $10.95-again, cheap. We also had hot and sour soup with they called sweet-and-sour here and the wonton soup which I've read about is supposed to be great. The food was very good. I've had better but it Slapped because I was hungry! No ambience to speak of very clean and the service girl had a slight attitude, but she was cool. Check it out.

The kids loved the orange chicken and enjoyed pulling the many fortunes from the wall we were next to. The chicken Lo Mein was very good as well. Plenty of food to have leftovers as well!

Amazing and very authentic Chinese restaurant in Minneapolis.You will enjoy your meal at a reasonable price. We are repeat patrons to this restaurant.

The best Chinese restaurant in Minneapolis. It's your traditional Chinese restaurant where they serve hot tea for free. I always get the seafood fried noodles which I don't know what's the name of it on the menu but it takes Foooooorrrrreeeeevvvveeerrrrrr for them to cook. The down fall is not all the food comes out at once. So you could be almost done eating and then the noodles will eventually make it to your table.

A long standing Chinese restaurant beloved by my whole family. Been coming here for 30 years. These are our favorites that we order every time. There are many favorites though.

Mainstay favorites are:Walleye with hot meat sauce (not spicy)Baked 5 spice squidSeafood tofu soupLobster with black bean saucePan fried noodles with seafood 5 spice crabBeef chow funFish maw soupAll vegetable stir fry are goodStreet parking but can get tough with the college next door and ongoing events nearby.Large group seating in back. Reservations recommended by calling.
