I see people saying the staff was rude...I didn't get that at all..maybe I came at a time when it wasn't busy but the son, mother and father where all welcome to me.. The pork and duck was excellent...my only complaint was the duck was on the lukewarm side, which didn't really ruin it for me but it would have warranted 5 stars if it was warm (next time I'll ask them to microwave it a bit) Also someone was saying the pork skin was too hard..that how many Asian restaurant (particularly Filipino) do it...I personally love the crispy skin and tender meat read more

Best bbq pork ever, this is s family run restaurant and every time i come in i get 5 star service, treatment and the owner is so kind and humble. Bbq pork is fire and i can't wait to come back and try the duck. You won't regret coming to this place. read more

I would just like to say that the wife of the owner there is very bad customer service and she is very very rude. She has a very bad attitude every time I go there and ask for help. Often times She doesn't want to give me what I want. She is a BITCH . I will never take my money there again. read more

I will never come back here. Ordered the red roasted duck, waited 15 minutes, paid $50 with tip, and when I got home, it was basically a box of bones with almost no meat. When I called, the owner Sam was completely unprofessional, rude, yelling, and blaming me for supposedly "eating it" before taking pictures. Instead of apologizing, he told me, I would have to drive 45 minutes back that same night before closing. Yeah, no. I went back the next day, and again he was rude, disrespectful, and literally counted the bones to question me, as if I was trying to scam him. Before giving me my refund, he told me, "I'm not going to do business with you at all." Good, I won't either! This place has terrible customer service, no accountability, and zero respect for customers. Save yourself the money, the drive, and the frustration, go somewhere else. read more

We've only heard great things about this little Chinese restaurant and driven by many times. Finally placed an online order to go and got half a duck & an order of cream cheese wontons. When we came to pick up, we were immediately and warmly greeted, they were just wrapping up our order so we had a chance to look over their dine-in menu. It is incredibly expansive!! We were really intrigued by the family style meal options and may have to come back again to eat in the restaurant. When we brought the duck home, it was still hot and so delicious. It wasn't enough for our family of three so we may need to get a whole duck next time. The wontons were a bit greasy though and we only ate about half of the order unfortunately. We'll be back again soon and bring the whole crew! read more

The roast pig and cha sui was not good. Pig skin was hard as a rock and the chopping skillz were lacking. Food came out looking like an amateur using a cleaver. Duck was ok but they need to prep it on time. We came to pick up a pre ordered duck and had to wait 30+ mins. Going to go to House of Wu from now on. read more

Drive here from Kansas and very disappointed, ordered duck and it tasted like a thousand year old egg, order some seafood and it was cold, not only that owner was rude read more

The owner is so rude, I have gotten food from this place multiple times because I really like the food but the owner is always rude.

Best authentic Chinese BBQ food in Minnesota! Family moved here from LA and could not find anything close. Met the family, handing down the cooking skills to the kids. We had our testers (beef chow fun, fried rice with char siu (bbq pork), fish fillet with black bean sauce, crispy tofu, chicken with ginger and onion sauce, pork chops with spicy salt and pepper). All excellent, tasty and they actually taste different (like they are supposed to). Next time roast duck and steamed chicken and more seafood! read more

I came for the brown duck as this place was recommended to me. The staff was extremely nice to me and asked how I heard about them. They even recognized me the 2nd and 3rd times that I visited. I will definitely continue to come back. read more

Haven't dined in for a while but have done take out from time to time. Finally was able to dine in and honestly, always great service and food! Great welcoming and owner remembered us too! The best Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn Center! Large menu, delicious food, and super fast service! Food came out fast and hot! read more

This place doesn't look like much but the food is worth it. I have only ever ordered directly from the menu, which has lots of traditional Chinese dishes plus the americanized ones we all know. I think this place does a lot of take out orders and we have done that too. Both eat in and take out are great and after a few visits, they definitely know us. :) They also feature a counter where you can order more "exotic" things like whole ducks and foods that us westerners might not consider. Everything that I have tried was great actually. No fuss, just good food. read more

Phenomenal experience all around. We came in on Saturday night, and the space was relatively full. The vibe is very cute, hole in the wall Chinese with Guan Yin on the wall. The woman who was in charge was running dishes quickly and efficiently. She was also one of the kindest, warmest, and most attentive people I've met. She speaks many languages: Mandarin, Canto, English, Vietnamese, and Lao. Now the food: OH MY GOODNESS. We has cha siu and hainanese chicken for the apps, and garlic pea tips for the veggie. Our main was the braised pork with pickled vegetables. Everything was stellar, the two mains especially. The pork was butter-soft and tender, and the pea tips were generous in portion and so fresh. Piece of advice here: when you order, don't go for the American dishes! You can get those anywhere. Try something on the authentic side-- XiaoHongShu (Chinese instagram) recommends their lobster noodles and their pork liver. Hip Sing is a must try. read more

Place seemed clean and decent. Service was questionable and seemed the woman didn't like me. I ordered the Yeung Chow fried rice and after feeling ill later checked my plate to find small amounts of rotten cabbage in my food. After digging some I see they have a history of serving bad food and being rude when confronted. read more

Food is veryyyy delicious! But the customer service can be better. Order out some food one time and they forgot the extra sauce I purchased when i asked if it was in the bag. I also call to see if their wings were available and they said yes, its ready and available but when i got there 15 minutes later, it wasnt even ready. They gave me a option of a refund or to swap it. Food 5/5 Customer Service 2/5 read more

Not the best, everything was greasy...very disappointed.. The egg rolls were unedible, the spring rolls were too flavor less, the pork was very dry and chewy, and the fried rice was completely flavorless and also way too oily. Not good at all! read more

If you don't know, go find out. lol the roast duck is the best anywhere. The noodle soup with chicken and roast duck really hit the spot during one of the coldest winter days too. read more

So this was the place on EatnGo page that talked about the rude poor service from the lady and the man. Lmao! I had no idea until I ordered today, first I called to order takeout, man on the phone said all takeout order on line only. So I did. Got to the restaurant and was asked what I wanted and got my order. I asked for chili oil and was told it's $2. Never been to any Chinese restaurant or any Asian restaurant that charges. It's always been complimentary! Maybe they need to retire since they're so grumpy at life! read more

Hidden in suburban town of Brooklyn a little north of Minneapolis, suburbana living in Brooklyn area should consider this authentic Cantonese restaurant for roast duck and roast pork rice dishes. The owner + server that took my order was super friendly. I ordered the roast duck and roast pork rice with vegetables while my friend had the roast duck and bbq (char siew) pork rice and vegetables dish. We also order their wanton soup which was great as you could tell they were handmade (not ordered pre-wrapped from a manufacturer). I gave it a three star because IMHO, the roast duck was not as good as my fav House of Wu in Burnsville where their roast duck sort of melts in your mouth with its oily and juicy meat But if I were to live in Brooklyn this would definitely be a fav on my door dash delivery app FYI - they offer online ordering! read more

Honestly food is always good here, especially the roasted red ducks, but that owner (lady) attitude gotta go! She's rude and talk with rolling eyes...she doesn't know what customers service is, but she has her two sweet boys always helping and are so kind but when she talks to them, they seems so scared of her too. Bad customers service, even with ordering Togo! read more

This place and Mandarin Kitchen in Bloomington are the only places that serve my favorite meal of steamed chicken and ginger sauce. Otherwise it's a 412 mile drive to Chinatown in Chicago. My dining partner raved about his beef broccoli dish also. Wish I did not have to drive all the way from Eagan to enjoy this. But I do. Their extensive menu looks like they serve a great number of delicacies. But I can't bring myself to order anything else. read more

Hip Sing BBQ & Seafood - Steamed chicken, ginger sauce, Chinese broccoli - Barbeque Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Soooo good! Tasty House fun ! The service is excellent and the food came out timely and delicious!

Small little place but their bbq pork belly is to die for! You can also get whole roasted pigs here for special events.

Best roasted duck and pork in the twin cities. Very casual dine-in experience. I assume a lot of their business is take-out. It may appear that there are a ton of customers there, based on the used car lot number of vehicles parked in the front and back in the business but it is like this even when the restaurant is empty. I asked the waitress about this but she just flashed me an evasive confused look like I had asked about some long buried family secret. ;) read more

great service came here before prom and was amazed. The food came out hot and amazing. The staff were nice and helpful when ordering. It was a fun and interesting experience. read more

The dine in foods was the worst soups I ever had. Ordered pho and wonton & roast pork egg noodle soup and believe me when I tell you, it was absolutely disgusting. Broth tasted like water with noodles added to it with a pinch of salt. It's so bad that I would rather eat white bear lake pho than this place. We also Ordered eggrolls, and the meat filling smelt rotten and old. Spring rolls was good. Roast duck was amazing. Please don't order anything else other than the BBQ items. Stick with the meats that are hanging in their deli. The restaurant has different restaurant name on the outside, but the menu inside still has it as hiep Thanh BBQ. read more

Authentic Cantonese food. We're in town for a soccer tournament and it was great. Hoping to go at least 1 more time before we leave.

Very very bad service I ordered this dish and honestly I don't even know what it is, so I went with the photo posted on their page. And it look totally different from the pictures on website, I called and asked if I can change this dish for other one since it isn't what I wanted and looked nothing like the photos online. The manager was very rude and unprofessional saying those pictures are from google image and to not look at them when ordering. So then I asked for a refund since I cant even get another dish and because I had lost my appetite cause it was not good. He said no due to covid 19. Never coming back. very rude. Don't bother looking at their photos of their menu. read more

My new go to for sesame chicken, great flavor, hot, crispy and delicious. We also like the fresh spring rolls. They have pork and shrimp in them and fresh mint and a nice dark sauce for dipping. Chicken Fried rice is good, fairly average. I have had the chicken and vegetables as well it was solid. The servings are big and reasonably priced. Me and the other half can easily eat it for dinner and a lunch the next day. read more

Authentic food at a great price. A hole in the wall. Very clean and quick. I had the pork with rice. They have lobsters and crabs in tanks which I'm sure would make a fine fresh meal. Will definitely go back. read more

Hip Sing BBQ & Seafood - BBQ pork with rice and vegetables. - Barbeque Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Over used msg, stay away ! Moreover, when I requested no msg in my seafood dish in 2016, the owner who was a Chinese woman replied defiantly , " we can't do business if we don't use msg." I was stunned. She was a Chinese immigrant in Vietnam, just arrived to America not long before that, and continued doing things that violate policies for food service business in America. Should have been reported to public health department. read more

TLDR: go for the duck, skip everything else. On a whole, this restaurant is underwhelming. What brought me here was their roasted duck and boy was it the most succulent in the metro area. I've gone only to be told their first batch sold out and second one would be out in 30 min so I stuck around only to be told it'll be another 30 minutes. Any other place I never would have but I'm an addict for their roasted duck. If they served only duck, this place is easily 5 stars. Drawn in by their delectable duck, I tried their regular menu. Soup was terribly watered down and lacking any umami. The stir fry was worse than what you can find at a Leeann Chin/Panda Express. The roasted pork is very dry, I would recommend stopping by next door to the Vinai Market for their pork belly (their duck is cheaper but lacks the depth that Hiep Thanh has). The only other redeeming item here is the duck feet/wings. They're perfect for snacking, mildly sweet and plenty savory. read more

Alright, as of what I've seen from some of these reviews, I get it. Some just aren't used to that awkward, not completely restaurant feel. Also, note to all people who ever want to go for a place for Pho. Since there is such a 'boom' in the interest of my peoples food. Do us all a favor, and don't go for some cheap Pho, and another note. If you see other Asians eating at the place then it's good. Otherwise, probably not. Now.... LET'S START THIS REVIEW! First, their roast duck is VERY good. Their BBQ pork is good too, but finding good duck, is kind of hard. This one is reasonably priced for the amount. When I came here, my party ordered two bowls of roast duck, egg wonton noodle soup. The duck, was plentiful and delicious. Wontons, they were alright, I've personally had better at home or in vegas. But for Minnesota, meh. The noodles, they were meh as well. As for the broth, delicious. Now, this bowl was huge, and it cost $10 approximately, for a bowl. This IS MORE THAN reasonably priced, due to the fact that many other places you order a bowl of roast duck egg wonton, and it is $12-15 dollars, and either the quality of the duck is poor or you get a small small amount. Other than that, they sell great bread for chao. And their bien bao is not too shabby either. Bottom line: I'm giving this a 4 stars because of their duck, price for the soup and speed of service. NOT FOR PHO. Because... come on people.... you should know better. read more

The food is good no doubt there, however if you're gonna allow your kid to work in the front, please train and teach them proper sanitary rules and regulations. Lucky This kids wasn't handing the actual prepping of food and putting it together. He was up in the front by the register close enough to where his mom was chopping the meat and putting the food to go flossing his teeth!!! Touching the floss. Then didn't even bother to wash his hands. It was disgusting. He bagged my food and put utensils and napkins in the bag. You betcha I sanitized the and and utensils. Please please stop letting you kids work in restaurant handling other people's food when they have no idea what they are doing and you don't bother to tell them the correct way to work in restaurant. read more

Summary: - Odd store that functions as both a restaurant and a place to get roasted meats to go - The duck is tasty - The pho was tasty but filled with MSG - The Banh Mi was well filled but the bread was dry - The service was mediocre --- I took a nap shortly after going to Hiep Thanh and with a wicked hangover which was weird because I didn't drink a drop of alcohol. The store was strange, with both a restaurant seating area, and a booth to order for duck take-out. I ordered Combination Pho with all the meats and a BBQ Pork Banh Mi. My mom also picked up some duck for me to try. The roasted duck was juicy with just the right amount of fat. It came with a soy sauce based dipping sauce that complimented all the favors. The Banh Mi came shortly after. It was larger than most Banh Mi's I've had, about the length of a footlong at Subway with dry, large loafed supermarket french bread. Though the filling was solid it wasn't good enough to make up for the subpar french bread. Finally, the Pho arrived. My dad, who was dining with me, ordered Pho as well but they screwed up the order. After some confusion for about five minutes, things were finally sorted out. The owners were very nice; I'm pretty sure they gave my dad extra meat. The broth was nice, flavorful, and clear, which is a good sign of clean pho. The noodles were a little overcooked, unfortunately. The meat was also relatively sparse. But I thought the broth made up for it. It wasn't too salty but especially... zesty for lack of better word. I finished completely satisfied and went into a food coma. Unfortunately, I woke up confused with hangover symptoms. I was severely dehydrated and craved water for the rest of the afternoon and night. I'm guessing there was a bunch of MSG added into the Pho... which was made worse by the amount of soup I drank in the end. Overall, the food and service were all right. Just don't make the mistake of drinking the broth. read more

Our family has been very loyal customers to this small business family when they were on Eat Street in Mpls on Nicolette Ave. It was a tradition that my mom would get food here every Friday waiting for us after school. Hands down they have the best roast duck in the twin cities! Roast pork is great also but depending when you go and what they have, it can get rather dry. We were ecstatic when they relocated to Brooklyn Center. Less traffic and more parking! Despite the pretty tasty roast duck, we've taken our business elsewhere. They lack customer service and I feel the couple who runs the place is severely burnt out from being over worked. I know they've changed their restaurant menus a few times and limited their deli selections but don't come expecting a warm greeting. More of "what you want!" As if you're bothering them by walking through the door. The wife more so then the husband. Otherwise speedy service if you're there for the deli and bbq selections. read more

I would give it zero star if I could. It is the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. It was Covid-19 time so I called in for a takeout order. The woman sounded very angry and rude. I called again 15 minutes before the pickup time. She didn't even have my order written down! Without any apology, she asked me to repeat the order. I almost wanted to cancel my order after I finished with her because she didn't even want to say "Thank you" before hangup. The food was not impressed, either. Chicken Pad Thai was plain. Half of the Beef Briskets was fat. This was my first time going there and will be my last time. I don't recommend it to anyone because they won't appreciate your business. read more

My past experiences to this place have been nightmares. The owner/workers are rude. Apparently they take offense when you question their food. I'm glad to have walked out on them on a couple occasions. They are not worthy of my hard earned money. Be warned about eating at this place. The food preparation will get you sick. This place needs to be shut down and be reported to the Health Department. I hope the owner reads this too so they can clean up their act!! Below star ratings. read more
