    General Tsos and Singapore Chow Mei Fun
    Steve S.

    I've lived in the south suburbs for a few years and East China remains the best and most consistent Chinese delivery option available IMO. Patrons would be wise to try the Singapore Chow Mei Fun and General Tso's entrees. Also, for those of you who like a crispy chicken wing, try them here. East China also offers very reasonably priced lunch and dinner combination platters. The owners are always customer centric and a pleasure to do business. I've tried others and East China remains my go-to for both customer experience and its food.

    Kung Pao chicken combo. Lots of Pao, very little Kung. But still okay!

    This place is pretty decent! A lot of the food is very reminiscent of the typical American-Chinese food you find everywhere, but they simply execute it better than most. The Singapore Chow Mei Fun is VERY good, and well worth ordering. I don't think I'd ever tried it before but it's basically thin noodles and curry with a variety of meats (shrimp, chicken and pork maybe) and a little spice. Yum! I also ordered the General Tso's and Kung Pao chickens "Extra Spicy" and it was medium at best... but I ordered Chicken and Garlic Sauce "Medium Heat" and my girlfriend thought it was hot. She's a wimp though, so it was probably also medium. In any case, not very spicy-- kind of a bummer. Also, half of my General Tso's had soggy breading and half of it was crispy. I think this is typical from them, as I remember that being a complaint before too. Sauce is good though, and so are the portions. Egg Rolls are fairly meh. The Singapore Chow Mei Fun is bomb though, so 4 stars it is! Picture time!

    Terrible food. The sweet and sour chicken were mostly batter. The fried rice was not fresh with little flavor. Never again!

    Really fantastic, well-cared-for little restaurant. Other reviews mentioned limited seating and…read morethat's true, but we didn't have any issues since we went on a Wednesday night. We had the clams, waffle fries, regular fries, cod, and halibut. I basically have no complaints about anything. We also had the tartar sauce and MN sauce. If I were to go again, I would just get the waffle fries. They are better than the regular fries. The MN sauce was a nice change in flavor, but the real star of the show is the tartar sauce, and that is what we used the most. The fish was great. The batter was amazing and it wasn't overly battered. My wife and I both agreed that the halibut is probably not worth the extra cost. When we go again, we will likely just get cod, or maybe walleye. Service was nice. It seems to be a family-owned restaurant and they seem to run it well. Overall, this is really just an amazing place. It is very expensive, but I was expecting that for fish so I was mentally prepared. I believe we spent about $50 for everything, which is definitely a pretty penny, but again we were prepared and knew the halibut was a premium. I would highly recommend checking them out. I am planning to go back!

    Great walleye and waffle fries! Easy to order ahead online for pickup. We'll be back to try all…read morethe other options on the menu.

The whole ambience and vibe of the restaurant is really nice. Granted, we were the only people there at the time, but it's still a really cozy and relaxing atmosphere in my opinion. The waitress that helped us was more than kind as well. Very nice, great service. The only thing I wish they would've asked is if we wanted the bill split, they just brought it to both of us. I was with my sister so we had to split it later. We didn't want to inconvenience them so we just paid the full bill. The BBQ pork bun was absolutely amazing. For only $5.50, I would recommend getting it as an appetizer. It's a fairly decent size too so you could split it with at least one other person. Or, you could have the whole thing to yourself!!! I'll probably get one just for me next time. I liked the chicken satay skewers. Those are really good. But, I was expecting more than just two small chicken skewers for the cost. Really good flavor though. Then we got sushi rolls. They were all fantastic. I remember I got the Ooka Roll. It's the most expensive role on the menu, but it's fantastic. I think we also got the 150th roll. Also fantastic. Overall, I really recommend this place if you want some sushi. Just be prepared to pay a lot of money. If you need a cheaper option, there are other sushi places that are a bit cheaper close by. But these guys are very good and I will be back. I would rate 4.5 out of 5 stars, but Yelp only lets me do full stars - so I'm bumping it up to a 5. I'm excited to try their hibachi when we go back, and more sushi.

You pay when you first arrive with cash or card (they only take visa and mastercard). Note that if you pay with a card and add a tip, they will just give you cash from the register for the tip amount to leave at your table when you leave. I would bring cash to tip your server with at your table. After paying, you can seat yourself anywhere and a server will come by and take your beverage order. The buffet includes unlimited soft drinks, drip coffee, and hot tea. Their Dr. Pepper is extra syrupy compared to normal fountain drinks, would recommend! Throughout the meal, the server will clear your empty plates and at the end of the meal they will drop off fortune cookies and towelettes. Crab days are Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. During these days they serve lil crabs. There is also a build your own noodle station where you can choose your mix-ins and sauces, and they'll fry it up for you. The fried rice is solid and the garlic toast is shockingly really good. Food is pretty fresh and warm, and there are people constantly refilling trays and cleaning the buffet.

Usually there is a very nice young girl working the front. Today I decided I wanted lunch while I take a break from DoorDashing. I walked into the restaurant and saw my order was ready but I had to use the restroom so I proceeded to walk toward the back where they are located. As I'm walking back there an older crabby woman with a permanent frown moved the phone away from her mouth and yelled, "excuse me"! I looked at her in shock and said, "I'm going to use the restroom". I'm 36 and something like this has never happened in all my years of life. Why on Earth would I walk to the back of the restaurant with a secret agenda!? People usually wash their hands before they eat anyways. I 100% feel like she said that to me because I am brown. I use the restroom at many restaurants all day as a doordasher and I have never had someone try to stop me when it's very obvious where I was going. I've never written a review before but I think during the times we are in other brown people need to be aware of the microaggressions the Apple Valley staff, specifically the crabby old woman has toward brown people. I will not be coming back to this location after this Interaction. I'm not spending my money AND TIPPING people who think I'm a threat. Don't come here, drive to the Eagan location.

We got the follow: - Chicken Wings with the Spicy Sauce - Jalapeño Crab Meat (must order) - Fried Chicken Bun (must order) - Chicken Stir Fry Ramen I honestly have no complaints about the food, ambiance, or service. It's all great. I guess if I could complaint about one thing it would be that the chop sticks are weirdly large/wide. I usually have no issues using chop sticks, but these threw me off a bit. Also, I guess I wish I got a little bit more than 4 wings for the price. But they were large wings, and like I alluded to before, the prices are great compared to what you get at other restaurants now-a-days. I can't recommend this place enough. I have several items on the menu I want to try and will be back. I hope they open a Lakeville or Farmington location.
