    Inside order area
    Robert W.

    China Moon is excellent fast food Chinese. It reminded me of being a kid at the mall and getting food court Chinese. The place is really sketchy inside, with it having a pretty rundown seating area with flickering lights, broken chairs, etc., but it's a takeout place so no big deal. I ordered the Sesame Chicken Combo plate which came with fried rice and an egg roll. For the price, it is one of the best options in Uptown. It was super cheap and a large quantity. The sesame chicken was also delicious.

    Taro pancake ($6.55). Pretty good and lightly sweet. More like a fried dessert.

    China Moon looks like a straightforward Chinese stripmall takeout spot that's really cheap, but it's a teensy bit above-average with a couple unusual options. I'd probably come back for their savory dishes. We got the vegetable egg rolls ($1.55 each) and they were respectable, though mostly full of cellophane noodles. The steamed vegetable dumplings ($5.85 for 8 pieces) were fine, but not any different from what you'd get from the frozen aisle at a grocery store. Their taro pancake ($6.55) is unusual (I don't know of any other places in Minneapolis that offer this) and slightly sweet. It's more like a fried dessert. The scallion pancake ($6.55) was fine, and the cold noodles with sesame sauce ($4.60) is a giant portion size for decent, but slightly sweet noodles. Take a pass on the kong pao bean curd ($10.25) which had a ridiculously sweet sauce that made the dish inedible. It was like candy. The bean curd hunan style ($8.55) and the vegetable lo mein ($5.69) were both good, solid dishes. I also liked the mock duck ($8.55) which is an unusual dish for a Chinese restaurant of this type, though the mock duck pieces themselves were too large. Pro-tip: order from their BeyondMenu website instead of GrubHub. The menus are identical, but GrubHub's menu prices are all 10% higher for the same exact dishes. Delivery is $3 and took about 45 minutes from order to getting to my door. If you're looking for giant portion sizes and low prices, China Moon is pretty good. If you want something more authentic in the area, check out Szechuan Spice on Lyndale.

    I am searching for the best cheap Chinese in Minneapolis, and this definitely ain't it. I truly loathe writing negative reviews to small businesses, but this food simply is not good. I hadn't tried this place in a few years after getting burned on a meal, so I figured I'd give it a second go hoping that it got better. It did not. We got the General Tso's chicken lunch special, and hot/spicy shrimp lunch special. The General was overwhelmingly sweet to the point that the food was practically inedible. The hot and spicy shrimp was done with some sort of red sauce that tasted like a mixture of sweet and sour with Louisiana hot sauce. We requested for both to be extremely spicy, and both dishes were truly mild. The hot and sour soup was the star item of the meal, and that wasn't amazing either. With so many legitimate Chinese options in the city, this is certainly one that you'd want to cross off your list if you like truly spicy food.

    Terrible customer service I came here to pick up a order for door dash they told me 10minutes so I left and went to pick up another order and came back 20min later and they still don't have my food ready!!! I would never recommend coming here to pick up food especially order very unsanitary and unprofessional

    Singapore chow fun
    Linh N.

    My roommates craved for American Chinese so we came here and we left very frustrated and disappointed. To begin, we did not expect much since we knew it was one of those greasy Chinese American place and we did eat here because we wanted it. We ordered sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, and Singapore chow fun. The sweet and sour pork red sauce was neither sweet or sour; and the pork was not at all crunchy. The Mongolian beef was actually the best dish; it was what you would expect it to be. The most disappointed dish was the chow fun. The noodles were hard and undercooked for the most part and it had no flavor one way or the other. We also waited for more than 30mins to get our food, noticing that some people came after us were served before us. They also did a bunch of delivery order, which came in after us, before our meal. I would not recommend this place at all. Maybe if you order delivery, but not for pick up...

    Shrimp chop suet and hot and sour soup

    We got take out last night and I had hot and sour soup and shrimp chop suet. Everything arrived hot and good. Also we got rice and crunchy lo mein noodles. Food was good- not great but tasty nevertheless. Hot and sour soup was ordered medium spicy but it seemed a little more than that. Still very nice. Chop suet had decent amounts of shrimp. Others in our group liked their orders too. Portions were BIG. Had to save some for later.

    I think it's a toss up between star ratings. I found they're one of the rare places that serve crab rangoons. I give it a definite 5/5 tasting! I can tell it was handmade and all the ingredients inside consisted of what I grew up having. I also ordered their beef lomein. Vegetables were sparse but enough beef and lots of noodles. It tasted as if it had too much soy sauce or salt. I'd give it a 3/5, hence my end rating. This was takeout and it was made in a good amount of time during the weekday. I love it. Also, I love their plum sauce for the crab rangoons!

    My best friend and I just ordered randomly online (we're both Minneapolis natives) and have eaten at a lot of the Chinese places in the city. However China Moon is new to us and it was a surprising success. I wasn't sure what to expect but everything was so hot, fresh and flavorful. We picked it up in store and when we got there they were still finishing making it - they took the food straight out of the wok and into the containers for our order. Nothing was sitting in warming pans, they made it all as we watched. We ordered general Tso's chicken, fried rice, wontons, doughnuts, beef teriyaki and egg rolls. Everything was fantastic. Full servings! I would have taken more pictures but we demolished everything so fast. The wontons are my favorite because the majority of places in Mpls use a mixture of cream cheese and a sweet cream to make their wontons. However China Moon uses regular cream cheese to make a savory, crispy hot treat that I love. I prefer plain cheese wontons and I finally found a place that does them perfectly! I loved it. Definitely will be going back soon!!

    Crab Rangoon, Peppered Beef, Chicken Fried Rice, Beef Eggroll and Cream cheese Wontons.

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!

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.

It's indicated as "spicy" but I felt that it could be spicier so I added more chili oil. Comes with slow cooked beef and 2 giant beef ribs. Noodles are bouncy and al dente.

The food itself was mediocre at best--and honestly, some of it was just bad. Then came the bill: over $75 plus tip for three people, with two lunch specials and three drinks.
