Yuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant

This my go to spot if I'm on the north side of Minneapolis. The chicken wings are and the fried rice is official.

NARCISSIST OWNER IS A BULLY!It seems people who have reviewed this restaurant recently like the food. That's all well and good, but I had an encounter with the owner of the restaurant that was nothing short of surreal.I walked in to pick up a delivery from Yuan Yuan at approximately 9 pm on Friday March 1 2024, and was told by the owner it would be a ten minute wait. Now, delivery people don't like to wait ten minutes, because time is money, right?Well, I evidently gave a look that this bully owner didn't like. The look was not directed toward anyone, and I didn't say anything to him. It's just that when you're in this situation, you either need to wait and waste time and money, or cancel the order which affects your rating. Without any provocation, the owner began berating me quite loudly for being disrespectful, telling me to cancel the order, I need to show him proper respect, things of that nature.It was clear his intent was to make an example of me to the other deliver drivers in the restaurant.So yeah, that makes him a bully.I waited TWENTY minutes for the food to be ready. And when he handed it to me, he AGAIN berated me for being disrespectful!I didn't even look at him, much less say anything to him. I just wanted to take the food and put that very unpleasant experience behind me. But he just had an axe to grind.I asked the man who his boss was, he replied he's the boss. Needless to say I'll never set foot in that place again, but man whoever you are, you need a serious attitude adjustment. There's no place for behavior like that in a professional environment.We all have a job to do and we need to take the hits and misses in stride.

Damn you former coworker who first introduced me to the lunch special here. The peanut butter chicken is amazing. Crispy strips of chicken with a delectable peanut butter sauce. I would give this place 5 stars but it is in the "hood" and you never know who you might encounter. My trip has a woman yelling for more sauce and another person selling fake perfume. They were fast and efficient and maxed the chicken fresh as ordered.

Sad food. Really poor quality meat. Never ordering from here again. They average a 2.5 stars and idk how its not closed down. So dirty inside the shop. Just a hot mess.

I made an online order for delivery.The delivery driver, instead of coming to the door, called my phone to inform me that the food had arrived. So I waited, assuming the driver would do as most do; bring the food to the door. No, two minutes later, he calls me again to tell me the food us here. Ok so I go out and he doesnt even get out of his car until I physically walk outside my door (its 14 degrees with a 1 degree windchill by the way). But then, instead of just giving me my damn food, he proceeds to ask me to present my ID. For an online chinese food order? You kidding me? Now the guy is at my door, where he should have been in the first place like a non idiot delivery driver who had any tiny semblance of a clue of what his job entailed.Thats all whatever. I can get over it.But then. Then, oh my god, the food. Fucking disgusting first of all. Secondly, I ordered two different dishes; hunan chicken with chicken fried rice // general tsos chicken with pork fried rice. When ordering this online I made a comment on each dish, requesting that it be made as spicy as they could physically could. I was instead served to identical dishes, both with pork fried rice, and both absolutely swimming in a sauce that neither resembled tsos nor hunan, was not even remotely spicy, and if I'm being honest, tasted repulsive. Waste of money, waste of caloric intake that could have been used on good food, and an epic waste of the engery I expended simply chewing this garbage.Don't waste your time, money, or palate at this atrocious establishment.

The food here is delicious and the lunch mean prices are unbeatable!!!! They have a wide variety of Chinese entrees during lunch time for $6-$8 and it comes with white rice or chicken fried rice. This place is always busy and there is a reason why! Highly recommend!

The peanut butter chicken is out of this world. It never fails to amaze me. It's a hole in the wall place, in a not-so-great location, has faded and outdated menus, but those are all telltale signs that the food is good. People complaining about the staff are most likely the ones being rude first. If you're a decent human, they'll treat you with that mutual respect. 5 stars to help weigh out those negative ones

Disgusting wtf was in my food took a bite and this could've broke my tooth Is it a peice if of ceiling or wall or the floor idk NEVER AGAIN I DONT RECOMMENd

They have pretty decent food and right prices And great delivery service Very convenient too

I called him my order at 11:47 it didn't arrive until 1:50 the driver was rude and disrespectful and told me if I didn't like it I can call another Chinese restaurant talk to the managers twice the only way I'm able to get my money back is by leaving my job to go get it when I ordered it to my job okay do not order food from them they do not care they're very rude and very slow the driver has a real problem and needs to go back to wherever he came from do not order from them
