The food is good. My group of four all had different dishes and we were all satisfied with our food. That said, my tofu seemed a little hard, maybe overdone. Pleasant server. The restaurant was quiet in the early afternoon. But takeout is put in plastic containers. Bad for the customer (microplastics are not good for the brain, heart, etc… probably carcinogenic) and for the environment. So eat in the restaurant. They do use real dishes and silverware. Not plastic. Avoid takeout.

Yangtze is hands down my favorite dim sum spot in the Minneapolis area because of the freshness and deliciousness of their offerings. I highly recommend arriving around 10 or 11 AM on weekends to avoid long wait times.
Among their delectable offerings, the crab claw stands out with its irresistible crunchiness and delightful flavor. The chicken feet are moist and savory, delivering a true dim sum experience. The congee is exceptionally smooth and flavorful, a true comfort food. And don’t even get me started on the baked pork buns – they are simply divine.
While the space might be a bit small and crowded, the staff are impressively quick and helpful, ensuring a smooth dining experience. Yangtze is a fantastic choice for family gatherings over dim sum on weekends.

Good:
I’ve worked and lived in China for almost 20 years and had dim sum countless times including the heart of dim sum in Guangzhou, Guangdong province. The good thing is that Yangtze Restaurant’s dim sum is possibly the closest you’ll get in terms of authentic dim sum flavor in Minnesota, perhaps reaching 85% with what I’ve had in China. Next level would be in a city with a bigger Chinese community such as Chicago, NY or San Francisco.
Bad:
There’s unfortunately a lack of transparency with the dim sum menu in terms of pricing as there are no prices displayed. Of course, we should’ve asked since it was our first time but we did not wish to be rude and ask how much each dim sum cost. Also, it was really busy (Easter Sunday).
In the end, we ended up paying a total of $270 including tip and tax for 4 adults and 1 kid (photo of receipt below for reference). That’s about $90 per person since three of us decided to split the bill. When asked for an itemized receipt, it did not show which items were ordered. Instead, dim sum is categorized as medium, large and X-large prices.
In addition, our host decided to lecture us on how to fill out our dim sum order form. It was an honest mistake on our part but she didn’t have to be rude. But then again, we came on a busy Sunday and she had been dealing and yelling with customers the entire morning. Our server, a gentleman, was very nice to us however.
Area(s) to improve on:
Improve dim sum menu which displays prices or at least allow customers to know which are priced which.
Also, improve host’s service with customers while waiting in line when it gets busy. Although not directed to us, it makes us feel uncomfortable. How would we know if the host will treat us any different?
Conclusion:
Next time for dim sum, Yangtze Restaurant won’t be our immediate choice because we want to try out the other places in the Twin Cities to compare.

I’ve been there twice, for dim sum, in the last two months. Both times it’s been the same two adults and one child. The first time we ordered 11 plates. The second time, 14 plates. Same pot of tea. I don’t understand how our first bill was ~$87, and the second bill was ~$123. Even taking into account the different sizes and different prices for each size, surely our extra three plates weren’t that much more? There is no itemized bill at all so you just don’t know what exactly you were charged for.
Also, gratuity is automatically included. If you’re in a hurry and don’t look carefully it’s easy to miss it, because there is a big blank space asking for an additional tip. I see no reason for the receipt to be formatted this way except to mislead people into double tipping. (There are no signs on the wall or indications on the menu that a good % gratuity is automatically included.) The first time I was there I felt rushed by the crowd waiting to pay, didn’t notice the gratuity and ended up double tipping by quite a bit.
The food is delicious. The actual table service is very good, servers are friendly and attentive. But the non-transparency over pricing (how did a few extra plates cost that much more?) and unstated automatic gratuity with an additional big blank space for a tip don’t sit well with me.

We always like YangTze, and is always our favorite Dimsum in MN in the past. They used to have carts push around, and be able to see the dishes.
But since COVID, they took the carts away, and using the paper to place order.
Besides, on our last visit, the foods is not as good as it used to be. The Shrimp Dumpling (hagao) ‘s wrapper texture is not right. It seem slimy., and also it seem like they are using the same mixture for the Spring Roll (猪肠粉).
The chicken feet is not soft as old time I remembered.
Anyway, food is ok, but just not as good as it used to be.
Yes, the price is expensive, and they automatically add tips no matter your party size. They do not show what is the percentage of tops they charged.
I just hope they put the price on the sub-category on the tab card (white card) and stated the plate size (eg, medium, large , or X-large) on the order card (yellow paper).

Kinda disappointed. Since this venue is a stones throw away from the hotels and Shops at West End, prices here are elevated compared to what you would pay at any other Chinese restaurant.
For the price, the food wasn’t worth it. They do give you a good amount of food and generous amounts of protein but the flavor was just lacking. I got the Hunan triple crown since it was recommended. Maybe I should have picked something else.
I do have to give credit to the guy at the front desk for being an excellent host. He was very courteous and I noticed that he even put in the effort to remember the names of frequent patrons.

Great food, semi-traditional Chinese restaurant (as in it reminds me of my childhood in the 80’s and 90’s)

Food used to be good. Not so much anymore. Hot and Sour soup was very bland. Crispy duck was dried out and mostly gristle and bone.

As always you will find delicious authentic Chinese food in a lovely setting. The Asian staff is is gracious attentive and always thinking ahead.
This is one of our favorite places to go on a date night out to eat and bring our friends.
Their proximity to the Double Tree hotel and convenient shopping is a plus.
There are busy times on Sunday for Dim Sum and Friday and Saturday evenings.
Of special note the lunch buffet is excellent and inexpensive.
