We usually come with extended family and this is one place that has a big enough tank for 12. We were celebrating a birthday so ordered too much food for our group of 7. We also arrived early enough for dimsum. We ordered: Dimsum: Steamed Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls Shrimp & Chive Pancakes Steamed Soup Dumplings Steamed BBQ Pork Buns Sesame Balls Pan fried Shrimp Dumplings in Crispy Tofu Skin Steamed Pork & Shrimp Dumplings Siumai Shrimp Dumplings Ha Gao Baked BBQ Pork Char Siu Buns Peking Duck 2 Ways Yangzou Fried Rice Typhoon Shelter Fish Seafood Stir Fried Cantonese Noodles Salt & Pepper Octopus Szechuan-style Dry-Fried String Beans We havent found amazing dimsum in the Twin Cities but Jade Dynasty's dimsum is okay when you need a fix, which goes for all their options. They have a laminated menu and you mark what you want with a pen. The Peking Duck was good but really haven't had much to compare it with in the cities. Our favorite is the Typhoon Shelter fish - the crispy garlic is so good and it's our must order. The rest of the non-dimsum food we ordered taste authentically Cantonese and better than other Chinese restaurants around that we've tried.

We went a little overboard for 4 people... pork dumpling, chui chow style dumpling, steamed beef ball, bean curd pork wrap, fried shrimp ball, turnip cake, crispy egg tart, Macau egg tart, baked BBQ pork bun, pan fried veg & pork bun, shrimp funn roll, three slice chow fun, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and roast pork. Next visit I'd likely skip the turnip cake, it wasn't crispy at all. Instead mushy and very gluttonous.

My lil bro and his wife generally goes to Yangtze and has taken me there before but I was not impressed. The menu is pretty extensive considering you can order dim sum plus the regular menu on weekends. I came on Saturday because I've been waiting all week to try the dim sum during my visit. Everything came piping hot and was fresh and the servers were all extremely nice. I wish I had more stomach because there were so many things in the menu I didn't get to try. My lil bro first griped that this place was too far, but after he ate, he changed his tune and said "okay" when asked to come back

The Asian aunt servers were extremely rude. At one point, a few of the staff insisted that we had ordered items that we did not. When we tried to clarify, they were dismissive and rude, repeatedly insisting the dishes were ours. It took a while before they realized the order had been brought to the wrong table, and there was no real acknowledgment of the confusion, which made the situation a bit frustrating. That said, one younger male staff member stood out in a very positive way. He was attentive, professional, handled everything calmly, helping to smooth over the experience and make us feel more comfortable. Guy needs a raise.

Didn't get any pictures but they well have menu specials when they gave fresh seafood too. Ginger scallion lobster is a must. Chinese broccoli with garlic is cross delicious and refreshing. We also like the beef chow fun. Try the fried soft shell crab from dim sum and the beef tripe. The only I would say I expected more from is the chili oil. Not spicy or flavorful. Service is quick and we never had to ask or wait for water refills. The all you can drink mimosas are good too.

Always looking for new places to try. Stumbled across this place- was skeptical at the prices…read morewhich seemed a tad high, but once we got our food, I see why- huge portions, enough to last for a few meals. Food ordered: Curry Combination entree- I'm not a fan of curry at all, but my husband likes it and said it was very good. Pork egg foo young - good but there were certain bites that I felt the grease as I swallowed. Big chunks of pork, but very greasy. I always toss the gravy out. Egg rolls- meh. I could leave those. I prefer the ones with cabbage- this one was just meat and the wrapper tasted oddly like a funnel cake. Chicken nuggets I thought my son would like but he didn't like them. They look just like McD's but had an odd spice. Pork noodle soup was deliciously fresh- I love bean sprouts and green onions. The broth was tasty- not sure the lettuce works and the dumplings were plump. I tried this as there was no wonton which is my favorite. They have really nice take out containers- especially the soup. Not the typical flimsy containers. Extensive menu- would probably venture back.

Wrong. It took forever to acknowledge that I was waiting for a table even though every seat was open and my service was slow. I made sure to order appetizers, the drink, and full meal together once I realized I was in for a slow serve. The cream cheese wontons were my favorite of all the food. The steamed pork buns were just okay and left a weird after taste that I didn't enjoy. Lastly, the sesame chicken had great portion control and wasn't soaked in sauce yet some of the chicken pieces were questionable mixed with both dark and light meat. The cherry on top was that there were 15 flying tiny bugs similar to fleas that would swarm my food. This made me question the hygiene of the entire spot. All of this was such a turnoff to me. I think the tea house is now more of a takeout spot. Bummer!!
