    Beef with broccoli lunch special
    Abbie F.

    Had the beef and broccoli lunch special. Upon ordering I thought it was fairly pricey at $15 for a lunch special. Lunch came with one egg roll and white rice. You could upgrade to fried rice for $3. The woman who took my phone order and when I picked my food up from inside was extremely nice and helpful! It looked busy inside when I took it to go. The container looked bigger than I thought it was going to be with good flavor. I probably would order something different next time and I would definitely go back to try some more of their items. Still pricey and need to try more things to determine if it is worth it.

    Shrimp and pork shiu mai

    Came here for lunch and it appears that I can't just order one or two things at Jade Dynasty. It was pretty quiet since it was pretty close to their opening time. Service was great and friendly. The dishes were flavorful. I didn't care for the shrimp and pork shiu mai.

    Garlic fried fish fillets

    Service is good, the restaurant is spacious, nicely decorated, and has plenty of seating. The food is good too. I had dim sum with a friend and everything tasted freshly made and good. I just wish there were at least 1 more piece of chicken feet in the order and the sponge cake not be as sweet or sticky. It's good, but it also had a very bold flavor of brown sugar and a lot of it was sticking to the paper. The garlic fried fish and roast duck were flavorful and fresh too. The take out containers were large, so amount of food was worth the price. I'd come back for the food again!

    veggie egg roll

    This is our second visit to this restaurant and I'm and in this updated, I'm giving it five stars. The shrimp dumplings were the standout dish from last time, so I ordered it again, and they were equally terrific. I believe we ordered the egg rolls last time, but these were veggie and also were crispy and delicious. Impressive is the more-subtle-than-most sweet and sour sauce. Usually, it's cloyingly sweet, but Jade Dynasty does it most better than others because it's flavorful without that usual overwhelming sweetness. Also excellent. For main courses my wife had the minced Minced Pork Stir Fry with Chives and xo sauce. This had great flavor with the minced pork, fresh chives and XO sauce combining well for a good dish. I tried the Kung Pao Chicken. For as common as this is, it's interesting that every restaurant has a different spin on it. Jade's version was excellent with a variety of veggies, in addition to good (and generous) pieces of chicken. Among the ingredients were green pepper, yellow onion, green onion, and peanuts. The sauce was excellent and I very much enjoyed it. In terms of appearance, Jade Dynasty is a joy to look at. It's bright, opulent, and just plain beautiful. It looks better than any Chinese restaurant I've ever seen. Our server seemed a bit distracted, like her mind was somewhere else. But other than giving my wife regular Iced Tea, instead of Iced Milk Tea, everything arrived hot and in great shape. I believe that Jade Dynasty has dramatically reduced their menu selection, which is a good thing. It was overwhelming to read, and I'm sure the food was overwhelming to make. Now that they have paired it down, this is an improvement. In this case, less is definitely more.

    Jade Dynasty brought up some genuine concerns for me. When we walked in, the atmosphere was really nice and I actually liked the way the restaurant looked. The service was okay and we were seated almost immediately. We ordered a variety of things. The dumplings were just okay, and the kung pao chicken was also pretty average. The sauce was good, but the chicken itself tasted a little freezer burned to me. We also ordered a large meat platter with duck, pork, and poached chicken, and everything came out very lukewarm. When I asked our server about it, she told me that was how it was prepared, which surprised me because I have been to plenty of Chinese restaurants and have never had a meat platter served that cold. My biggest concern happened when I walked toward the restroom and noticed one of the fish in the tank. It was upside down, barely moving, and repeatedly hitting against the side of the tank. It looked extremely unhealthy to me and appeared to have visible damage to its body. When I got back to the table, I mentioned it to our server. She told me she had already checked on the fish and said that sometimes they do that. The whole situation made me extremely uncomfortable, especially seeing a fish in that condition inside a restaurant. I obviously cannot say what was actually wrong with the fish or what they planned to do with it, but what I personally saw was concerning enough that I did not feel comfortable eating here again. Between that experience and the food being mediocre, I have to give this place one star.

    He Said: While I am saddened that Fuji-Ya left Uptown, I am very happy that such a quality restaurant has filled Fuji-Ya's vacancy. Jade Dynasty is like the Captain Planet of Chinese restaurants. Many powerhouse Chinese restaurant owners/operators have come together to form JD. The inside looks great. The food options are plentiful. The parking is easy (not a given in Uptown). I have had their regular menu items, dim sum, and seafood. All delicious. Pros: - Great to have a quality food establishment in Uptown - Clean and courteous - Good food quality Cons: - Prices are slightly higher compared to other mom and pop Chinese restaurants

    Fried Rice with Shrimp
    Carla R.

    Jade Dynasty was absolutely delicious! Their dim sum menu offers a wonderful variety of shareable plates, making it perfect for larger groups or anyone who loves trying multiple dishes. It's such a great spot if you enjoy sampling different dishes. The space is stunning, especially after the recent remodel. You walk into a beautiful dining area that opens up into a larger space with high ceilings, gorgeous light fixtures, and an airy, open feel. It feels modern, elegant, and welcoming all at once. My favorite dishes were the fried mochi, the duck, soup dumplings, and the pork, each one was flavorful and perfectly portioned for sharing. The dim sum was fresh and beautifully prepared. What really stood out, though, was how friendly and involved the owners are. You can tell they genuinely care about the restaurant and their guests, which makes the experience feel even more special. Everything we tried was delicious, and I can't wait to go back!

    FN01 Beef Chow Fun (4/5)
    Kenny N.

    Awesome experience! A blast from the past as I was able to delve into some of the most classic HK Noodle dishes back when I was a UofM student Jade Dynasty comes from the same heritage with many familiar faces. Ordered - Roast Pork/Duck: Tasty, good balance of fat to meat ratio, and phenomenal when paired with rice. Also, not gamey which usually can occur with duck - Beef Chow Fun: Wok Hei was on point (IYKYK). Noodles were skinnier than other places but still was delicious - Golden Fried Garlic Fish: Our favorite. This was circa 2010s from college. A dish originated by HK Noodle owners and have seen seen variations spread across other Chinese places in the Twin Cities with Overall, we had a great experience! Staff was friendly, decor was upscale and clean, and parking was fairly straightforward ($1/hr parking) for being in the city

    Heard great things about this restaurant, with friends from LA saying it was the best Chinese restaurant they've been to. I was excited to discover they served dim sum every day. Meant to order the green beans that I read high reviews about but only getting things from the dim sum menu. Loved the shrimp rice noodle - impressively long, and made with very large and well flavored shrimp. The turnip cakes were amazing - will definitely get those again. I also really liked the taro puffs and coconut puffing. I was a little disappointed with the sticky rice in bamboo leaf since it was a little mushy and the flavor wasn't as deep as I expected. And the stuffed eggplant was quite disappointing. Pretty but very bland. But everything came out very quickly and hot. And the service was very friendly and efficient. The restaurant is also very lovely. It was very impressed with the decor, and the gigantic 22 seat table on the upper level. I need to gather 21 of my closest friends one day to try more of their dishes at that table.

    Just sitting down and so far so good. A little ehh about paid parking with a big lot, but kind of par for the course.
    David P.

    For Dim Sum a high bar has to be met for me to be blown away and this was not it. The food was ok but honestly as dim sum goes it was ehh. Lack of choices that I love, no carts going around, overpriced versus other dim sum locations. Also pay to park was not the experience I was going for. Was worth a shot and may try their other dinner options, but for dim sum it's a no go.

    I've came here a few times recently very friendly staff and very accommodating. There's plenty of pay parking behind the building or metered street parking. We love the wanderers punch and it's gorgeous inside. Definitely will keep coming back here. We always order the sweet-and-sour chicken or the Mongolian beef because both of those are really good.

    Arhonda C.

    This is a nice and convenient spot. It's very spacious, so there is no problem accommodating a big group. You also don't need a reservation since there are so many table. However, I still wish they had a better reservation system; it's currently not automated and requires an email to reserve. Overall, this restaurant is really aesthetically pleasing with attentive and pretty quick service. Although, I've only been during non peak hours, so service experience may vary. Now, the food is quite good and I enjoyed most of my dishes. This place is on par or slightly better than most other Asian restaurants. I especially enjoyed the fried rice options, the bbq pork, and the Korean short ribs. However, I was underwhelmed by the fried chicken and potstickers, both lacked seasoning. Portions are huge as well so you get a lot of value for your money because this place isn't expensive at all. In totality, this was a nice restaurant with a lot to offer, and I've already came back a second time and the quality of food held up.

    Stumbled upon Jade Dynasty being in the area and looking for a place for dinner. We started with a Livener bubbles drink and a boba tea. Their menu is large and I was overwhelmed. We order shrimp dumplings (3/5), fried cheese puffs (5/5), beef chow fun with black bean sauce (4/5), and seafood with lo mein (3/5). The lo mein had good flavor but because there were various types of seafood mixed it and it felt a little bit like mystery meat trying to figure out what type of sea creature you were eating. Our server was very nice and provided recommendations, but a little slow. The serving sizes are LARGE, we shared and still had two meals of leftovers to take home with us. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant and it is pretty easy to access from Lake St. The restaurant is pretty and depending on where you sit you can see the fish tanks. At least you know the seafood is fresh.

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.
