    Well, if food, service, and ambience are the three categories I should consider in my review,…read moresuffice it to say I wish I could give them negative stars. The neon sign outside says "Dine In" and yet the woman who stands behind the Covid era plexiglass will shout at you "take out only!!" To that end, there is no service. They only take cash, (so I'm relatively certain they're not reporting all of the income on their taxes). And when I say they only take cash, I mean there's no other options. No credit card, no debit card, no Zelle, Venmo, CashApp... Nothing else. Now for the main attraction, the Food. I'm reluctant to critique anyone's artistry, but this food is shit. There is no nicer word. Relatively certain the eggrolls, the chicken tenders, all of it comes frozen and is loudly prepared on a grill. Since you can't see it being cooked, all you can hear is the metal utensil clanging loudly against the grill. All of the sauce is store-bought, prepackaged, sugary, gelatinous slop. I suppose the only nice thing I can say about this place they have free parking. Seriously, save your time and your cash. Do NOT eat here.

All the hallmarks of a solid Chinese-American restaurant. If you can stay open for as long as they have, the food has got to be right. Support this neighborhood restaurant. FYI, their parking lot is a one-way. Pros: - Good food - Reasonable prices Cons: - Cash only

    I have been coming for 25 years when the original owner ( older lady) ran " a super TIGHT" ship…read morebarking orders to staff, racing around full speed with her almost non stop orders especially on weekends. (Loved chatting with her, miss her.) Several times I saw whole HUGE beautifully roasted and decorated entire pigs sold out the door for private parties! EVERYONE came back then from EVERYWHERE! She was " famous" state wide for having the BEST DUCK. She had delicious big bowls of noodle duck soup too! Her roast duck and roast or barbecued pork were New York City Chinatown quality!!!!! ( I grew up & worked in NewYork for 40 years) Sadly she passed away and about 5 years ago I slowly saw the quality portion size cooking process and especially taste/flavor in the seasoning and marinating almost disappear. I wrote about this on my last trip from Florida where I moved 5 years ago. We permanently moved back to MN 1/26 and just returned to House of Wu today. OUTSTANDING.... Perfect Juicy. Just like in her original old days! Yay! Finally. Today the dining room was filled with 10 older and a few younger family and staff- - an EXCELLENT sign that her original recipes and wonderful care and quality of preparation HAVE RETURNED. Thank you. Thank you family.

    The roast duck is an absolute TREAT -- the only roast duck I've ever had that was better was at a…read more3-star michelin restaurant in Taiwan but it was pretty close. The skin is so flavorful and the meat is tender. The bag of drippings it comes with it is liquid gold -- drizzle that over the duck and a bed of rice (rice not included). You can request extra drippings. Call ahead to reserve a roast duck with a pick up time, as they can get busy and run out. One roast duck fills a standard square styrofoam container. The restaurant is carry out only. It's located in the middle of a bunch of warehouses and there's a big free parking lot. The roast pork is also good and has a thick crispy crust, but the duck is definitely the star.

    I used to go here whenever I had an extra $10 back in the 90's when I was a college student at the…read moreUofM. I loved it, it was my comfort food spot. I hadn't been there since at least 1996 but my family and I visited last weekend. The lunch deals were inexpensive IMO. Egg rolls were nice and crispy, fried rice was yummy, and the garlic chicken was exactly as I remembered it. I'd love to go back and try some of the lobster and crab dishes. While Dinkytown has changed a LOT, Shuang Cheng hasn't, and that's a good thing! Also, my bro ordered the chicken with orange peel. I don't usually like sauces breaded chicken dishes because the reading is often soggy. We all agreed that their chicken was delicious! I'll go back the next time I'm in the beautiful Twin Cities!

    There is a reason why a restaurant survives for 36 years. It has to have great quality food, be…read moreconsistent, have good service, and fair pricing. It helps too to have a well maintained, attractive place to eat. Shuang Cheng has ticked those boxes for three and half plus decades. Let's start with one of the most basic items: Wonton Soup. Boring, I hear you say! Well, consider this: broth that has a deep, deep flavor and wasn't something that was an afterthought. Generous slices of roasted pork, tender wonton wrappers stuffed with a great-tasting filling. Boring? Hardly. It's literally the best wonton soup I've ever had. OK, what about something like lobster with black bean sauce. Nailed it. Sweet, generous portion of lobster in a sauce so good, you can use it as a dip for your lobster and it's fantastic over the rice. EMPEROR'S CHICKEN (15.85) - My wife varied from her usual Sesame Chicken (which she thinks is better than any other Chinese restaurant) and is a lightly breaded and deep fried chicken fillet slices of ham over a bed of bok choy and mushrooms. Perfect she said. The service is always good, the restaurant was remodeled a few years ago and if you can overcome the parking challenge in Dinkytown, this traditional Cantonese restaurant deserves a permanent place on your regular restaurant rotation. Enough said.
