I hadn't been there since at least 1996 but my family and I visited last weekend. The lunch deals were inexpensive IMO.

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.

The scallion pancakes were super crispy, the Szechuan dumplings had a LOT of garlic + chili oil (in the best way), and the Shanghai pork buns were juicy and full of flavor. The pork belly was braised perfectly with tasty bok choy, while the farm pork was a classic stir-fry with just the right amount of spice. Everything came with a generous amount of rice too! Definitely a spot I'd come back to with 4+ people so you can order a bunch of dishes, get quick service, and share everything family-style.

Extremely Disappointing -- Save Your Money…read more I honestly don't understand how Tea House gets rated as a top place. From the outside appearance and lack of upkeep to the service and, most importantly, the food, the entire experience was disappointing. The service was odd, the staff didn't seem very familiar with the menu, and there were several misses that made the experience even less enjoyable. 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. For what we received, the price was absolutely ridiculous. For me, this was a hard pass. The food wasn't worth the money, the service wasn't impressive, and the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Don't waste your time, and especially don't waste your money.

The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me.

Don't sleep on the cucumbers either...smoky, spicy, and sweet, with peanuts and sauce. My favorite potstickers were the Beef & Carrots and the Kimchi Pork.

This is our go to for great Chinese food (we had it delivered via Grubhub this time, free delivery, thanks to Amazon Prime). The food came piping hot and consisted of Cream Cheese Wontons done right. Crispy, not soggy, and actually had real prepared hot mustard, not the stuff in a packet. Not greasy at all. The wife got the garlic chicken, extra spicy. The chicken was spicy hot, and the veggies crisp. Just be aware that there are thinly sliced wood ear mushrooms (for those that don't like fungus). Tasty! I got the Prawns in Garlic Sauce, extra extra spicy. It was a mirror of the chicken dish, but came with a lot of perfectly cooked plump shrimp. Like I mentioned earlier it was very hot temperature wise, and the burn to my upper palate was worth it when I dipped into it. The portion size is excellent, with enough food per container for at least two meals per entree. The prepared mustard was excellent as well, and cleaned out the sinuses. For those of you that don't like the sinus clearing mustard, mix a little with the sweet and sour sauce. It adds a nice tang when dipping. This was a great meal to celebrate the beginning of spring break! My wife was happy as well (she's a 2nd grade teacher) and was a bit hangry when she came home. As for me? I'm retired. Everyday is Friday!!!

A Trip Down Memory Lane at 50th & France: Supporting a Neighborhood Icon…read moreThere are some places that don't just serve food; they serve memories. For me, Great Wall Chinese Restaurant at 4515 France Ave S is exactly that. I've been coming here since the 1980s, back when I was just a small child peering over the tables. Walking in today, I was struck by how the place is still absolutely filled with wonderment. Even though it's now under its second owners, that soul of the neighborhood remains perfectly intact. The Classics Never Fade This visit, we leaned into the staples that have kept this place a local favorite for over 40 years: Kung Pao Chicken: Perfectly balanced heat and crunch. Chicken White Rice: Simple, clean, and the perfect canvas for their sauces. The "Legit" Sauces: You know a place is the real deal when the spicy mustard has that proper kick, the chili paste is rich, and the sweet-and-sour for the veggie spring rolls is exactly how you remember it. As I sat there, I couldn't help but reminisce about my "all-time" favorites from years ago--the Mushu Chicken, the Mushu Pork, and of course, the legendary Flaming Duck. Passing the Torch It's heartening to see that while the ownership has transitioned, the business is as solid as ever. Throughout our meal, there was a steady stream of takeout orders heading out the door--a true sign of a small business that the community continues to wrap its arms around. The best part? Getting to share it with the next generation. My seven-year-old gave it a definitive two thumbs up. Why We Support Local Great Wall has been a fixture of the Minneapolis/Edina border since 1981. In an era of ever-changing food trends, there is something deeply special about a spot that maintains its consistency and "old-school" charm. It's a reminder that supporting our local small businesses isn't just about the meal; it's about keeping the history of our community alive. Even though I've traded the Twin Cities for California, Great Wall remains a non-negotiable landmark on my itinerary every time I return. It's more than just a meal; it's a connection to my roots. Distance might change where I live, but it hasn't changed the fact that this is a must-stop whenever I'm back in Minneapolis. If you're lucky enough to live just around the corner, don't take this gem for granted! If you haven't been back in a while, or if you're looking for a reliable spot for your next family dinner, give Great Wall some love. Let's keep this local gem going for another 40 years! #GreatWallMinneapolis #50thAndFrance #SupportLocal #MinneapolisEats #RetroMinneapolis #CommunitySmallBusiness #ChineseFoodNostalgia
