“I've never been to the physical restaurant, but I always order the pho soup through Uber Eats, they give super generous portions and the soup is always so tasty, I started ordering the soup about 7 times a month, not to mention the price is affordable !! You can try this restaurant, it's worth every penny :)“
“Increasing my review to 5 stars from 4. This place has improved a lot. Still the worst part is their "Chinese food"-style chicken/beef/pork dishes. If you can make it when their grill is open then only go there for meat. But the grill being open is no longer a deal breaker to going here at all. Plus where else are you going to go? R.I.P. Ocean Buffet.“
“Food was delicious! This is my second time here already. We loved everything we ordered, from the pork belly to the red curry, and papaya salad. If you haven’t tried, definitely stop by and give it a try.Parking: Plenty of space!Kid-friendliness: I brought all my four kids and it was a great experience!“
“Excellent selection of food. If you are going to try it plan to come back. You can get a great lunch/dinner just trying their apps. The szechuan dumplings are amazing. The sauce can be used on the rest of your meal. All the dumplings are amazing.“
“This is a yummy new spot for us to enjoy!Try the fried noodles. That was our favorite dish. We also loved the scallion pancake. It was nice and crisp and had a light/non-greasy flavor. We found the whole experience enjoyable. The friendly staff and very clean environment will have us back again as well.“
“I haven't been here since I moved to Maple Grove. I had chance to try their food last week. They didn't have buffet anymore, no dine in cuz they short staffed (no complaints). The restaurant changed a lot, things made me unexpected is food. The egg foo yang and chowmein was changed, it's better than few years ago. Price is reasonable, helpful staff, food quality improvement. Excellent!!!“
“We have never eaten at a restaurant like Legendary Spice. It was an interesting experience. Our waiter was very helpful directing us through the process. There is seriously so much food. The steamed dumplings and sesame balls were absolutely amazing. I ordered the Mushroom hot pot & my boyfriend ordered the spicy beef pot. His was definitely HOT, so not my thing, but he enjoyed it. You can make nearly unlimited choices in Chinese veggies & meats.“
“I'm not a sushi fan, so I got shrimp pad thai, which was excellent. "Medium" spice was enough for me. My dad got a custom sushi roll that was made perfectly to order, which he really loved. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable. We'll be back!“
“This is the best Chinese restaurant I have been ever eaten in Minneapolis! We ordered sesame chicken and beef broccoli for our lunch special! The foods are so good. The service staff is very kind, with detailed and patient introduction, I will come again!“
“I have been searching for the best Chinese food spot as I recently moved. All I can say is China Tiger is it hands down. There’s a few spots around the area I have loved, and other areas in other cities I constantly vouch for people to drive 45 minutes for if need be. However, I had the biggest surprise after ordering my food today. The House Egg Foo Young is the best I’ve ever had in my life and I used to work with natives of China when I taught at an immersion school a few years back, this food reminded me EXACTLY of their home styled Chinese/Asian cooking made fresh every day. The spicy garlic chicken and vegetables was amazing as well, hands down this will be my go to spot to order (I had to stop eating my food just to make sure I gave them the recommendation immediately because I’m at a loss for words over this Chinese Cuisine).“
“I'm a huge fan of pho ! This is my go to place their broth is delicious and sweet. I also have an obsession for their cream cheese wontons. Service is great every-time staff is very nice. I recommend if you want to try pho for the first time !“
“One of the closest Vietnamese restaurants in my area and the foods always great every time I come, especially the beef vermicelli noodles salad. The services were always great and quick. Also they have a big parking lot and lots of other great places nearby, very convenient. The price is also decent compared to other restaurants.“
“Very delicious food. Ordered shrimp lo mein,sweet and sour pork,beef and broccoli, fried chicken wings, and cream cheese wontons. 8 out of 10 overall. Small restaurant. Customer service was great. Please support this family owned business. Large is very large, I found out.Parking: It is located in a strip mall. Plenty of parking.“
“Pretty sure this restaurant is run and owned by Helen and Martin, when they had The China Restsurant in St. Cloud, MN previously, and it was my absolute favorite St. Cloud restaurant. What a loss to our community when they left..!! So glad to have found them again. Their Hot and Sour Soup is absolutely to Die for. I can't wait to drive to Blaine and get a big Take-out order to tide me over for several days. Really looking forward to it..!!“
“A great little place I must have driven by a 100 times! Sad I hadn't stopped before. My daughter and I stopped in on Easter Sunday after a day of moving. The food was AMAZING! I had roast pork loin mein, she had shrimp fried rice and we shared potstickers. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. A really wonderful little family business that I will absolutely visit again. Highly recommend!“
“I ordered this through doordash.Their Pork Eggroll is HUGE! and has lots of flavor, and it's crunchy not rubbery! their sesame chicken is also amazing! Best Chinese chicken I've ever had ! very crunchy and lots of flavor! I will definitely order from here again ! only reason for 4 stars is I specifically asked for utensils and didn't get any so I had to go around asking coworkers in hopes they had a fork! But food is well worth ordering again!! Highly recommend!“
“The go to place for dim sum. Family owned with a younger kid running the restaurants which always means the food is amazing. The dim sum menu is voluminous with the traditional dishes. Servers don’t walk around with carts but will walk around with plates of food. Hard to find that nowadays with the traditional carts. The food here is always fresh and busy. Definitely recommend to everyone!“

“I grabbed take out and everything was great. I ordered the chocolate wontons, Szechuan wontons, wonton noodle soup, chicken with black bean sauce and lo mein, and shrimp fried rice. The portions are huge and everything was fresh and flavorful.“
“Wonderful quality at a great price! We called in an order closer to closing and the owner was kind enough to fulfill our request! You get great portions for a very affordable price, they have standard Asian American staple dishes as well as some creative options as well! We got beef chow fun (very tasty) chicken chow mien (chunky and NOT mush) and curry crab puffs (SO GOOD). A great find, I will definitely be a new regular!“
“All the food was really good. The phở broth is amazing, though the chicken was a little dry. They really give you a lot of meat, which can be a little much for some people. Call me crazy, but I would've like more noodles and less meat.The rice and apps were fantastic, though the pan-fried dumplings seemed equivalent to store bought. All others were really good...especially the egg rolls, amazing.“
“Phenomenal! Fantastic! Superb! Delectable! Fabulous! Joyous! This restaurant is an absolute gem. A hidden gem in Roseville. Friendly staff! Tons of food! Great experience! More food than the average college dude can eat in a sitting. Worth driving across the world for. A must visit!“

“I tried the beef fat noodle dish. The crunchy noodles are so good, and then they soak up the savory sauce. I will be craving this dish for some time. Service was excellent, place was clean. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating was its spendy. $18 for lunch.Parking: If it’s busy, you can park in the next lot.“
“We have only gotten take out, so my review is specific to that.Amazing food! I love the egg rolls and my wife loves the spring rolls. Highly recommend both.General Tso's chicken has a great sauce that was significantly better than the seasoned paste you tend to get at other Chinese restaurants.“
“I’ve been coming here since 2019, this is the only place I will get Chinese food from, in this this area. Always friendly, food is always made fresh, you can even watch while he makes it! Online website is super easy to navigate, making pick up sooo easy. 10/10Parking: They have curbside parking, in case you do not want to go inside“
“Dumplings and dim sums were a great hit....loved it! Totally worth the price and the customer service is the best. I can't wait to go again! Very authentic and the pig intestines were the best I've had in a long time! Very crispy and flavorful duck , too!“
“I came here since I was a child. So, the service is alright, they forget our drink, but we reminded them politely. The Atmosphere is fine. The food is OK, it's just that some of the food looks a bit off, but it's edible and delicious at least for me. 2 people for nearly 45 dollars isn't that bad. They have fruits, fried food, vegetables, sea food, and desserts. I'm giving this a 5 star since the food is delicious and there was no rude employees.“
“My favorite dim sum place-only available early on weekends but it's my absolute favorite. The dishes range from small to large. Small being less costly and large being more expensive. This is my dim sum fix the ingredients are so tasty and refreshing. They have a about 30 plates worth of dim sum here. My favorite is their congee (they have 3 types), taro cake, lava bun, and the siu mai is crazy juicy good. The service is pretty nice and speedy too. I like the ambience as well. It's very clean but it can get busy ofc cause it's great! :D The waiters are super attentive and great at getting your order. I love the competency and speed in which they fulfill your order by crossing off things. I will say sometimes the water gets missed but it makes sense cause they're super busy. There is this one favorite waiter who kind of recognizes me as I eat there a lot. She's honestly great, and super sweet. Thanks Sister!“
“My car broke down light one night and I was stranded in -35 degree weather. The people here welcomed me inside even though they were closing and let me wait in the warmth. They even brought me a cup of hot water. They were very kind when I was in need.“
“Perfection!!!! This place is a tucked away JemVegetarian options: Is there a very accommodating when placing your orderDietary restrictions: Not only do they have fried but they have steamed options as well for a person who cannot have fried food that is amazing“
“Got take out here for the first time. Food was great and portions were above par for sure! I especially enjoyed the crab rangoons (cream cheese wontons with crab) and the Mandarin Chicken Combo. I’m not really a fried rice person but this fried rice was awesome:) will come again!“
“Been getting delivery from here for about a year or so and I am rarely disappointed (I’ve never gotten BAD food, just sometimes it doesn’t slap AS HARD as others but it’s always good) . The General Tso chicken is always delicious, and the orange chicken has a good balance of spicy and sweet. Hot and sour soup is DELICIOUS, so is their cheese rangoons and donuts. They always deliver to me lightning fast with PIPING hot food. Literally the only Chinese place we order from and the prices are crazy low. I can’t believe how much food we get for such low amounts.“
“Was craving sushi and Chinese, so decided to check this place out. I ordered to go and the food was still hot and crispy when I got home. The quality of the general tso’s chicken was really fresh, cream cheese wontons had lots of filling, and the fried chicken was flavorful, crunchy and juicy. Also, the sushi roll‘s rice to fish ratio was perfect! Will be back to try other dishes ?“
“Food from here tastes better than other 'takeout' in the area. Quality ingredients and more veggies on the menu. Everything so far tastes good. No weird bitter aftertaste, no over-salted or over-breaded meat.Mandarin Chicken - good balance of meat and veggies, not too salty or saucy.Japanese Chicken - also very good, good balance and good sized pieces.Orange Chicken - actually has orange peel!“
“They have been here for years and it is a family who owns and operates it. Good people! My favorite as well as my wife's and her sister's favorite is the chow mein with crispy noodles. I think they make their own noodles and they are the best crispy noodles I have ever had. They are unique and very light and crispy. I get the chicken chow mein and my wife gets the fried tofu version.It's not a saucy chow mein. It is like a stir fry and the vegetables are crisp and fresh. I don't like old fashion chow mein with the heavy sauce. For $10 you get a large portion and I just love it! Egg rolls and spring rolls very good too.They do a lot of takeout so there is always plenty of places to sit. That plus the lack of decor I give it a 3 for atmosphere. Parking in the rear or on the street is not a problem.“
“My go to take out place since 2016 when I was in college. Their Pad Thai is one of my favorites in the Twin Cities - I crave it all the time! Perfect Vietnamese egg rolls too. Owners are always extraordinarily sweet and welcoming! Can't say enough good!“
“I was there on January 30th. The food was super hot and the service was quick! What was supposed to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside was! I was actually pleased that the food was brought out as it was finished being cooked...one entree at a time. I knew that the food was fresh. The food was so hot that it didn't matter the entrees were brought out one at a time we still had to wait for the food to cool down to eat it. I was VERY pleased with the price for the amount of food we received! We were not from the area, came from UP NORTH, I don't understand the bad reviews, maybe the people who wrote the bad reviews are competitors or happened to go on and off day? We have to come down to Minneapolis area again and on the way back we are definitely stopping! BTW we have a lot of Asian Cuisine... Fargo, Duluth, Brainard Area , St. Cloud and all points in between!! So we know!“
“Service is not always great but the sesame chicken is the best I've ever had. I've been here 3 times in the last month just for the sesame chicken. It's that good. I'm sure there are other good items on the menu but I keep coming back for the same thing. It's crispy and always has the perfect amount of sauce. The fried rice has a bit too much black pepper for my taste but is still pretty good as well.“
“Don't let the modest atmosphere fool you. The food is fantastic, plentiful serving sizes (we are on day 4 of our leftovers) and beautifully fresh. Amazing pho and pad Thai. A favorite little corner restaurant, always has available seating and helpful staff.“
“I order pickup as this place is near my work. And as I’m eating the pho I always utter obscenities of utter satisfaction. I’ve had it 3 times now and each time it hits the spot and makes me happy. I don’t usually leave reviews and after having bad pho at a different Vietnamese restaurant, I appreciate fresh ingredients and quality food. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I went to this restaurant for many years until I moved to California... It was my first time back to MN and I discovered that this business not only survived the pandemic but also has a bigger and better building in a new location. The only thing that hasn't changed is the fantastic customer service, the fantastic atmosphere, and of course the fabulous delicious food.“
“Wanted to eat local in Minneapolis. Looked online for Chinese food in this had a high rating. The reading sad that the atmosphere was very basic, and it is. But who cares when the food is as good as it is! If you like Chinese food and you’re in the Minneapolis/st Paul area put this on your list of restaurants to try.I ordered the potstickers (see picture) and Chicken Kung Pow. Both were amazing!“
“Lao Sze Chuan makes some of the yummiest Sichuan food. Sichuan food is savory and spicy the Sichuan peppercorn makes your tongue tingling. It's something to become accustomed to because most people are use to eating HK style food and American Chinese which focuses on salty and sweet flavor profile. I enjoy the mapao tofu and sichuan boil fish. I always order these two!“
“This place is for carry out! Decent prices and great food. We ordered chicken lo Mein combo which was a huge order, comes with fried rice and 2 crab Rangoon (cheese wontons). Egg rolls were decent. The service was amazing, super nice and friendly and very welcoming.“
“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!“
“Their dumplings are a meal in itself. The absolute thickest dumplings I have found in the area and goes good with their legit chili oil dipping sauce. I would not be surprised if they handmade these themselves. I like their thick lomein noodles too.More of a "To-Go" place but they do have a few small tables you can eat at inside.“
“This place has some very delicious asian food. They also have some good vegetarian and vegan options. The only problem is the menu! they do have any menu, they have some items written on the back wall, but it does not have all their items. The food is very delicious and I must say that they make the BEST Lo Mein in town. The price is very reasonable and its your wallet friendly.“
“Very fast service. Order and pay online for pickup or order and pay in store. Food is usually ready on time and hot. The special lunch menu is decent and isn't overpriced, but it is limited with only a few options to choose from. The fried wontons and chicken wings are delicious!!!! Price is fair.Vegetarian options: You have the option to order vegetable dishes only. They are very accommodating as long as you specify in the instructions section when you order online or verbally request what it is you want / don't want when ordering in store.“
“Good restaurant. Service was great. Restaurant clean. They have a nice menu selection. I got combination #5 which is chicken chow mein, sweet & sour chicken, 1 egg roll and fried rice. Egg roll was my favorite followed by sweet sour chicken. The chow mein and fried rice were also good. Coke products served but in a can so you will pay more if that is not enough for you. There is plenty of parking. I enjoyed my dinner and would go back.“
“Excellent, fast, clean takeout ready in 20 mins with huge servings. General Tsos was excellent and the quality of chicken was much better than the take out standard. Chicken Lo Mein was also a huge helping and great flavor. Egg rolls have a nice crust and not overly greasy. Everything was great at Shanghai Chan and the workers were friendly. This will be our go to place for Chinese take out!“
“It was my first visit. I called in an order for take-out. I ordered 2 dishes. Mongolian beef and General Tso's chicken. Though not really a Chinese dish, General Tso's chicken is kind of a benchmark dish for comparing restaurants. The portions were generous. Though not a major cost, I appreciated the sides of white rice that came with the meal. They were easily twice what I have received at other places. It is definitely a take-out restaurant. They have a handful of tables for dine in. Will keep them in mind for future visits.“
