Reviews
But unfortunately I heard in the recent reviews the food is not what it used to be. So last week I went to go try it again, so that I can give my critique. At first glance most of the food still looked decent. I ordered the usual items I mentioned, except the chow mein noodles. Because that was the only item that looked very different than before. It looked very bland almost looks like a plain spaghetti noodles with some vegetables, but that might be a different dish and probablygot rid of the chow mein completely. So instead I had fried rice with sesame chicken and spicy wings. They did not taste very good, the sesame chicken was soggy and some of the pieces tasted expired so i discarded the rest. The wings and fried rice had less spices also less flavor, not getting that wok hay taste of the rice but also didn’t taste like fried rice anymore. Plus wings needed to be cooked a little longer.
I think the reason why the quality is lacking is because theres a different owner now. Atleast that’s what I read in the other reviews, but it seems to be true. Since I also saw a new owner in person. She seems nice, but i recommend she sticks to the original recipe of what the previous owner had. But also having the original constituency and quality, because thats what made this restaurant successful. It could also be because there might different cooks that made it go downhill, but I’m unsure.
Its okay to have some changes if it actually needs to, but it doesn’t. Theres really no point of changing if the quality is lacking, and its losing more customers especially regulars. Because it used to be packed with tons of people. But now , not anymore. Mainly because they have experienced tge same problem as me. But I hope the new owner and cooks take these people’s reviews seriously and go back to the original recipe. Because we used to love going here, so its heartbreaking that it’s not the same. So i won’t be coming back until I hear they went back to the original recipe.
The space itself is small and a bit chaotic during lunch hours, definitely not a relaxing spot to sit and dine, which is one reason I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars. But this is a perfect takeaway spot.
I ordered the orange chicken with fried rice, and wow—you get a lot for your money. I couldn’t even finish it all, and it was packed in an easy-to-carry takeaway box. From what I’ve gathered, this is among the most affordable meals available in downtown Minneapolis.
OH!!! I forgot to mention their amazing breakfast sandwich, that is by far the most reasonable in Minneapolis. Egg, Cheese, on a English Muffin for under $3.50. WHAT? And so tasty! YES. I will take another! I always get a hashbrown on the side with it. Get there before 9:30 a. 🙂
I didn’t get to eat the sesame chicken because they were out of it. I think I came too late now. You got to come early. Everything closes much earlier than in the past. The egg roll, what’s not good at all. It was pretty dry to me. I believe they fry them, but this didn’t taste fried to me. It tasted baked, it just didn’t have that saying crispiness and flavor on the outside that the egg rolls I used to eat would taste in this vietnasa egg roll. Iwas told by the original owner that they half Vietnamese and Chinese and made both type of dishes. The new owners are other family members from my understanding, but the food just is not the same. The friendliness is still there, but the food lacks what it used to be. Our office used to do a lot of catering for all kind of occasions. Like I said, this was the best restaurant to get chinese vietnamese food in downtown Minneapolis and to me, in the twin cities.
