Atmosphere is casual, waiters were attentive and made sure we had full waters on the 90+ degree day we visited Cashew chicken and Kung Pao chicken dinners were both excellent with definitely enough for two people. Included with each dinner was worked an egg roll, which was excellent, or cream cheese wontons, which were the best I've had. They must have had fresh oil as the flavor was perfect and crispy. I would definitely return. Returned 10/2018 and Kung Pau shrimp excellent. read more

Sidewalk Kitchen - SW16. Pork Stomach with White Pepper Pot First time ordering it, exceeded my expectations! - Chinese Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I was feeling slightly under the weather and craved congee, and Sidewalk kitchen was one of the few delivery options that looked promising based on the extensive menu with more uncommon dishes. I ordered congee with preserved egg & pork, as well as roast duck, because I always need to know who does duck well. And I was pleased by both dishes. Congee usually comes bland and people might give you sauce to season to taste, but this came perfectly seasoned with every bite, and not going to the other extreme of being salty either. The duck was moist, well-seasoned, and came with plenty of meat. Even though pricing was decent, I thought portion and quality was worth it and would definitely order again! read more

My husband and I had a party for 26 people the end of January. I ordered 5 dishes times 5, including fried rice and stir fried noodles. Plus, I prepared two proteins on my own. On the bbq pork, I ordered by the pound. I was shocked and my heart sank when the food was delivered! I immediately knew it was not enough....and it wasn't. Since we had eaten there the week before, I knew the portion sizes. Instead of 5 orders, I estimate we received 3 of each. Maybe 4 of the rice. When I texted the owner the next day, he wasn't even apologetic. The food and portions at SWK are good when you eat in. I will never again cater from them, and I've told friends the same! read more

However when its does. Your food is piping hot, flavorful and fresh. The wait is worth it. You will get more bang for your buck! Many return visits already and more to come read more

Solid Cantonese style food on campus. My rents and I frequent this place a lot as it one of the few options that serves up decent Chinese food in MN. They do have a wide variety of food items from veggies to bbq delicacies (only thing I wouldn't recommend, IMHO), everything else is great as the chefs know how to proper toss a wok to get the aroma and umami flavors to peak. We often get the four seasons green beans, the fish and tofu pot, and the beef brisket hot pot. Their HK lemon tea and milk tea are not bad either, better than most other attempts but nothing compared to the real thing from HK. Also, the restaurant itself is small so if you plan to have a large group call ahead! read more

the side walk kitchen is the best restaurant that I have ever been to whenever I'm near it I always go because of the super friendly service the always fresh food and how clean it is I also love the cream cheese puffs it tastes like the perfect bite read more

Minneapolis is definitely becoming more diverse and along with it the food scene is booming as well. Sidewalk Kitchen is one of those new comers to the Asian food scene in Minneapolis! Bringing amazing more authentic Chinese food to the city than your average take-out eateries or dare I say Panda Express!?! Anyways, the food is spicy, deep in flavors, and truly what Chinese food taste like. My favorite being the poached Szechuan fish fillets. This dish is cooked with fish fillets in a pot of dried chilies, pickled vegetables, mushrooms and tons of garlic. It burns good, most likely regret it the day after, but I can't get enough of it. My friends and family also love the Sidewalk Kitchen stir-fry Special which is a bunch of garlic chives sautéed with dried squid, taro, and anchovies. This place hits all the notes for a good Chinese meal! read more

I had my birthday dinner at Sidewalk Kitchen and they did not disappoint! I had to get my favorite dish (see video): Sidewalk SW6. Sidewalk House Special Stir Fry!!! It's full of umami deliciousness and I haven't seen it anywhere else. You need to try it. My friend introduced me to a new dish this time: Pork SW5. Pork Stomach with White Pepper Pot!!! I highly recommend having it in this cold weather as it was such a comforting soup. My friend says it tastes just like back home and he loves getting it from here. The service was also excellent, no complaints!!! The owner even stopped by and greeted us as well. ^_^ Loved the ambiance, very comfortable as we enjoyed our meal. Can't wait to come back! read more

Their milk tea is delicious 5/5 would recommend over and over again. Not too sweet and just overall a nice balance of flavors. The food however was just ok. In my opinion could use some more flavor. I would however try it again because I do see potential for really good dishes. The portions are huge so keep that in mind when ordering. read more

Good food! Good Service! Nice Interior - feels like you're in Hong Kong! Owner is really nice - staff recommended good food.

You're allowed to park in their back lot after 7 pm. Went for lunch and it wasn't too busy, but they should've had better service since it was doable with 3 servers. We were patient and eventually the hostess informed a server to come to our table. A plus their food wasn't too salty. Often times Chinese restaurants tend to be too salty. The portion and price were so so. Portions could be better. The Poached Chicken doesn't compare to Hong Kong Noodles. There wasn't as much chicken and is was bland in flavor. I had ordered Roasted Duck Noodle Soup was mostly noodles. I wished they added more veggies or duck. Should've ordered the Roasted Duck and Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup like my friend. It would've been more ingredients allowing it to be more filling. Another friend ordered Beef with Snow Peas. The peas had a nice snap and crunch. That was pretty good. We ordered Kal Bi, but I didn't have a taste. It looked and smelled great though. Overall, it was an okay experience. I may give it another try and perhaps if I ordered something else I'd have a better experience. read more

My friends and I are regular customers of Sidewalk kitchen and we used to either order carry out or dining for years. We thought this restaurant is a clean and safe place to eat even during covid. However today we had lunch and there was an alive mouse dropped from the ceiling to our table while we were eating. We were freaked out and the servers were not serious about this. The first thing she said was there is nothing we can control about the mouse. Of course there is something you can do. Get a pest control company! And when another server tries to catch the mouse they were joking around. I was very disappointed how they dealt it. They offered 20% off and we said no. The final decision was 50% off and they even want tips as they provided services. We argued and they said okay forget about it, acting like we were trying to avoid the bill. I am just wondering if the owner knows whatever happened today. The servers showed no respect to their customers at all. I WILL NEVER COME BACK. read more

We have long loved Hong Kong Noodle's food over on the U campus - but we were less excited about the decor and the service. So we were kind of surprised to find that there was another extremely well-rated Chinese restaurant half a block away. I really think the food at Sidewalk Kitchen is pretty close to the same level. Once we really dial in on which items we love, I think this will be a great option for equally good Chinese food in a more pleasant atmosphere with less hostile service. So on our first visit, we tried as much as we could and found some real rock stars. So for appetizers, we got the eggrolls. They were definitely better than average eggrolls, but I still give the eggroll title to Golden Chow Mein in St. Paul. We also got the dumplings in chili oil, which were actually kind of meh. They were probably frozen dumplings. They were just slightly not hot enough... kind of more lukewarm than I would have liked. And they were swimming in chili oil but there was no garlic or chili peppers. It was just a bunch of resteamed dumplings in a pool of oil on a plate. Probably would not order again. Fortunately, things went up from there. For the main course, we ordered three dishes. The ma pa tofu, which is one of my favorites. This was a really good rendition of it. The chunks of tofu were bigger than usual and nice and soft. The oil and sauce were super flavorful and had that nice tang in the back of your throat from the szechuan spices. And unlike most ma pa tofu, the heat level was spicy but not too spicy. If I ate around the slices of serrano pepper, it was perfect. Very good dish. We also got the pan fried noodles, shrimp and sauce. The noodles were perfectly cooked, nice and crispy but also a little tender in the middle and the sauce was delicious and plentiful to cover the noodles. The shrimp allotment was generous, and they were really big shrimp. Likewise, we got the Chinese fried rice with shrimp (I think they called it Sidewalk rice on the menu) - also plentiful and huge. Probably the same shrimp. :-) The Chinese sausage in this dish was awesome... sweet and succulent. Really well done dish. So ma pa tofu and rice with jumbo shrimp. Awesome. We will be back. I did indeed enjoy eating here better than eating at Hong Kong and found the food to be on par. Exciting to have another option. read more

I visited this restaurant when visiting St Paul. My friend and I happened to come here when our first restaurant choices were closed. We ordered three dishes for two people: chow fun, boiled fish fillet, and Buddha's delight. They gave us a complimentary plate of some fried custard(?) for purchasing more than $50 which was delicious and perfectly crisply fried. To my surprise the Buddha's delight was made with vermicelli noodles and what tasted like fermented tofu? I liked the flavor anyway, but it was pretty salty. The chow fun was exactly what we wanted, chewy fatty noodles with good seasoning. The fish fillet was fine, also surprisingly had vermicelli noodles. It tasted more or less as expected, perhaps less spicy than I wanted personally. The thing we didn't expect was that every dish was definitely dinner banquet sized..so we definitely over-ordered for the two of us. I would certainly come back again for takeout if I lived in the area! read more

Great food, can only speak for delivery/pick-up. Highly recommend the chow fun beef XO sauce, the salted fish and chicken fried rice, and eggplant. Cantonese-style foods restaurant, staff are friendly. Price is a bit on the expensive side but you get a lot for your money. Parking is a bit tricky considering you're in the University area, you may have to find street parking or park at a nearby lot as I don't believe the restaurant itself has its own lot. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IVE EVER HAD Came in here tonight to get some togo dinner with a friend and I was really excited about the food because I heard good things but the boy who took my order was SUPER rude he looked as if he wanted to be anywhere but at work and then once we order 50$ worth of food I asked for extra soy sauce witch he told me he couldn't give me any because it doesn't come with any AT A CHINESE RESTAURANT? Oh okay and on top of ALLLL That we waited 30 minutes for our food and when I asked the two employees talking and on there phones they acted as if it was a problem SMH I'd never spend my money here even if the food is good LBS read more

Can't recommend this place enough! I ordered their BBQ pork with rice, and it was amazing. It tasted just like my go-to spot back when I was in Hong Kong. They have a huge variety of dishes, which I'm excited to try on my next visit, and they have excellent service! Parking is a bit tough since it's in Dinkytown, and they don't have many spots, but this place is worth the hassle! read more

So this is a tiny restaurant in the center of East Bank community, easily accessible to students. Walking in I was immediately aware of how busy this place was. It was packed, but luckily we were able to get a table. Service was fast, we ordered within a minute or two of sitting down. Since the place was really small, it was loud from everyone shouting to their table mate and the kitchen being open to the sitting area. Here's the thing--I don't remember what I ordered. I wish I did. But what I ordered was hands down some of the best Hong Kong style food I have ever had. I don't like to use the term authentic, as it doesn't have a proper definition and is subjective, but this is a case where I would say it. The food was phenomenal, and the clientele knows. I know what I ordered was from the lunch deals menu--which was really cheap for the amount and quality of food you receive--so I'll be working my way through that menu till I find it. Something to note, in addition to the normal menu, there is a lunch special menu and a whiteboard that has specials and dishes that are not available on the menu. I assume the whiteboard dishes are seasonal or by ingredient availability for what they get at market, given how fresh the vegetables were in the dishes. I will be back here, so be on the look out for those check-ins! read more

If your looking for some classic take-out Chinese food, Sidewalk Kitchen has it. I've ordered from Sidewalk several times and they are very consistent. Food is always on time, very hot and fresh. I love getting a lunch or dinner combo because you get A LOT of food for a good price. They have good vegetarian options and the portions are huge! They offer free delivery in the area and you can order online. read more

OMG. I had been looking to find the name of this place ever since we accidently stopped by for some food. Of all the food that was ordered there were two highlights. The Fried Tofu was awesome. Even the tofu haters (Including myself) love it. Creamy buttery with just the right salt. AWESOME. My wife unknowingly ordered the mushroom tofu mixed vegetable, which came with a lot of diff: mushrooms and we LOVED it. I am a carnivore and this was an eye opener. If you are in the area you need to try just that dish. And that only. You wont be disappointed. I certainly was not. I will most certainly be going back just for that mushroom and tofu. read more

I was seriously craving Chinese food today, and Sidewalk Kitchen definitely hit the spot! Came here with a couple friends around 2 pm for a late lunch, and the place was mostly empty. It looks nicer on the inside compared to the outside, I'd say, so don't ever judge a book by its cover! We split a few dishes to share family style: fried potstickers, beef chow fun (HK style), BBQ pork and eel over fried rice, and pea tips with garlic. The winner by far was the BBQ dish - I am obsessed with eel and how tender and flavorful it always is! The pea tips were also quite flavorful, but none of us were that impressed by the potstickers (could've done without them). All in all, an authentic place with good Chinese dishes that are great for sharing! I would come back for sure! read more

Haven't been here in over a long time and decided to give them a try. Went there for lunch and was sadly disappointed by how salty the food was and the amount of MSG they add in their dish. I know Chinese restaurants use MSG but this is overboard. I took 2 bites of my dish and had to stop. The service on the other hand was wonderful, even though they were super busy with take out orders the server was still very attentive to my table. read more

The food was great and service wasn't too bad. We got the garlic green beans, deep fried sole fillet with fried crispy garlic and the pork belly with preserved vegetables. All dishes were great and we received our food pretty fast! Each dish did come with a small bowl of rice as well. Pork belly was very tender! Price point however is pretty up there for the University area. The atmosphere was great though. I would come back again! read more

I came here for dinner recently since I was in town. My gf and I were craving Chinese and we saw this place with high ratings, so we decided to give it a try. Right off, the prices were pretty high for a Chinese restaurant. A lot of these dishes were 5 bucks or higher than what it normally is. We got the beef short rib, which was okay but it wasn't the flavoring that we were expecting. The walnut shrimp was a big disappointment. It was weird that they added apples and honeydew underneath the shrimp. The walnuts were stale too! I was so disappointed in my experience. read more

I found this place on yelp maybe 15 mins before we got here. I was excited because all I wanted was a noodle soup with rice noodles. I was pretty happy with it. We got there and got seated right away. We also got there around 9:30. It was one of the only restaurants that wasn't fast food open around the area until 11pm. The service was great my phone was at 10% and our server was kind enough to ask to plug it in. I wanted to actually order number 14 Korean style kimchi seafood noodle soup. But the server suggested that I get number 13 the Thai style Tom yum seafood noodle soup. I think that it was good. I honestly think that I would have enjoyed the Korean Kimchi soup better because it was more what I was feeling. The Thai soup had coconut cream which normally I'm all for. But I wants completely feeling creamy. Though the best thing about the soup I thought was the seafood. 5 stars for the seafood! Normally I feel like when I order seafood it's totally over cooked. The seafood in this soup was spot on! Soft and moist. Completely not over cooked. The noodles were skinny and I was excited about them but I felt like they were a tiny bit undercooked. It'll be good for leftovers! My best friend got the pot stickers and said they were delicious she said she's give it a 4 star for sure. My boyfriend had number 7 the Pouched chicken noodle soup. He wanted one with duck but they said they were out. Which is understanding since it was 9:30 at night. When he got his soup there were still bones in he chicken. I think that rubbed him the wrong way. But the actual soup was really good. Though this place has a GIANT menu. (I took pics of the whole menu) It was pretty traditional though the menu on the wall that was hand written had more Chinese writing than English. I thought it was cool they had a bunch of stuff with frog legs in it. So I wasn't surprised. He just wasn't feeling it. Also they had a really cool wall that had a design made from pennies. It was really cool! Overall I say this place was a 4. I'd like to come back and try some of the other menu items! I'm glad I found this place! read more

I lived in Guangzhou for 8 years. Very authentic food. Cooks where all from Guangdong.

Overall, a decent dining experience. There were definitely some highs and then otherwise meh. Came by on a weekend for dinner. It wasn't super busy, and our table of 3 was seated right away. Service was attentive. The menu has a lot of variety-- from traditional to Americanized! It was hard to choose. Our table shared salt and pepper baby octopus and Japanese fried tofu appetizers. Tofu was good texture, but very bland and paired with a too-sweet sauce. It really would do better with the classic sauce for the tofu to soak in. On the other hand, the octopus was amazing-- solidly on the salty side, but super crispy and otherwise well-seasoned! The curry beef was the highlight entree at our table. Very much adored-- enough that my SO froze it so it would keep better on the drive home to Milwaukee. Lemongrass chicken had good seasoning, but quite dry. General Tso's chicken was decent, but the broccoli was blegh. (I really much prefer Chinese broccoli to this blocky broccoli... but I guess shame on me for choosing the Americanized Chinese dish out of all the things I could've ordered.) I sit at a 3.5/5, but the highlights of the curry beef and the baby octopus round me up to the 4. I would come back to try other dishes. read more

They offer some great options that are unique from the two next door in Dinkytown. I like to order from the wall. The deep fried sole with garlic is da bomb. EXCELLENT and a must try. The Shanghai steam buns are good, nothing special. One of our favorites is the half garlic chicken. The honey walnut shrimp is made with more like a tempura batter...which makes it soggy compared to other restaurants. It's served with apples, which I've never seen. Flavoring is good if they could improve the crispiness of the batter. This is a busy spot and I'd recommend coming early or later than the typical rush. Otherwise, service can be a bit slow. read more

This place has a unique blend of authentic Chinese cuisines and Americanized Chinese options. We came here for dinner on a Tuesday and it wasn't that busy. Their fried foods are really golden and crispy. Their meats have lots of sauce on them and seem to be good nicely. We got the chow fun for a noodle dish and it wasn't as salty as I'd like but still good. Prices in general are more than normal but it could be based on the location. read more

This place warms my belly with flavors and smells of Hong Kong. I've been to HKG 7 or 8 times and most recently in 2015. I'm not saying this restaurant is on the same level but putting it in perspective that this is a Minnesota restaurant makes it deserve a high rating. The broth in the the wonton noodle soup is exactly right, and I'm always a sucker to add a little chili oil. Soup is served super hot and the quality of the wonton filling is probably 4/5. Love the roasted meets hanging on display, I've had the boiled chicken and roast pork. I'd wish they could be served a little warmer but the flavor is there. The Kalbi (short ribs) make my mouth water and portion size is large. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

It's an annual tradition for us and my brothers and sister to annually have a meal that reminds and honors our late father. We have this meal on the date of his passing. Being part Chinese, we always have Chinese. For the past few years we have tried different places. We certainly have found some places we really like however our zest to try new places as well as the desire to find an even better dish or place fuels us to check out new places. This year our "Yelpsearch" led us to Sidewalk Kitchen. We are big fans of take out so that was our plan for this year. Sidewalk Kitchen is located near the U of M and is on a pretty busy street with not much parking around. So take out worked perfectly for us. I placed our order online which was very convenient. They have a really large menu which can be exciting and overwhelming. As I usually do I ordered too much. I ordered some of our "staples". I of course had to try their dumplings and chow fun. They had two different styles so I of course had to try the Hong Kong style. The beef brisket hot pot and kalbi short ribs looked like something to try and we added beef fried rice and sesame chicken. We picked up our two big bags and were on our way. Unpacking all that food was kind of daunting yet felt like our own buffet. Dumplings were very good. I say dumplings but these were potstickers. Sometimes I prefer the steamed dumpling and sometimes I like the texture and additional flavor of the potsticker. These were stuffed well and very good. Didn't last long. The standard chow fun was good. Didn't wow me, but wasn't bad either. Standard chow fun. The beef brisket hot pot was ok. I thought the meat was a bit too fatty. The short ribs were good. I liked the peppers with the short ribs however they were not as tender or flavorful as I expected. The HK chow fun was something much different than the chow fun I have always had. There was much more sauce than I like however maybe this is the HK way. I actually had this with some rice which was good. My tells me the sesame chicken wasn't anything special and the beef fried rice was also good. All in all pretty good food and no real complaints outside of the brisket being a bit too fatty. With their large menu I would be interested in trying some of their other entrees especially the congee. I love a good bowl of congee. read more

I had FINALLY got a chance to take my lazy a$$ out and try this place. Been always wanting to try it out for I don't know how long. Well I made it out here for our Christmas dinner! The place is smaller than it looks in pictures lol. Lucky it wasn't busy. The menu was quite large, but good thing I've just been looking at their menu for quite sometime now before coming to try it out. For appetizers we got the baby octopus with salt and pepper and the 1/4 of roast duck. Both items was amazingly cooked and seasoned just RIGHT!! The skin on the roast duck was on point. Had that nice crunch to it and flavored so well. The meat wasn't dry either. The baby octopus was tasty as well. The salt and pepper seasoning wasn't over powering and the light breading made it just pop. If they had a soy/ vinegar dipping sauce for it, it would have completed this dish well. For our entree dishes we ordered, sizzling beef intestines, clams with crispy minced garlic xo sauce, and lamb hot pot. The clams was the showstopper from the other two entrees. I.t was almost like it was dusted with flower then flash fried. Then you had the minced garlic and black bean that probably was flash fried also, that was topped over the clams that gave it that extra ummph in flavor. If they would've fried it any longer, they would've burnt it. But nope, it was done right. Next is the sizzling beef intestines. Not to many eat it due to the texture and where it comes from lol, but me, I love intestines and it all depends on how it's made. This was actually stir fried with veggies. The flavor was good. The only thing is that the texture of the intestines tasted like it had more of a braised taste to it. Which I don't mind unless it was whole vs sliced. Other than that I enjoyed it, just not as a reheat plate after lol. Last is the lamb hot pot. This resembles sweet pork with eggs dish(kaw) that us cambodians make, but less sweet. The lamb was nice and tender, but just tasted more like pork to me for some reason. Maybe im used to our Cambodian dish that's cooked with pork Haha. I know it was lamb from the cuts of meat and bones that I saw, but man it tasted like. I enjoyed it. It seemed like it was slow simmered in some five spice by the way it tasted. Last but not least,.... will I go back??? Oh hell to the sh*t yea. I was looking at everybody else's food that came out and HOLY SH*T. They all looked BOMB. read more

4 stars: great food, great service, a bit pricey. Sidewalk Kitchen stands out from the five other Chinese restaurants on East Bank. The restaurant does a great job of making their dishes very flavorful without being too greasy and or salty, which is a problem that I run into a lot with Chinese food. Rarely have I felt gross and bloated after my meals here!! Also, the food comes out very quickly, even during their peak hours. Service is always 100% with the waiters and waitresses being super attentive and prompt. I always drink like 8 glasses of water with my meals and the Sidewalk Kitchen staff always seems to keep up, which is very appreciated. The only reason I gave Sidewalk Kitchen four stars instead of five is because of the price. I feel like compared to the other restaurants, Sidewalk Kitchen tends to be on the pricier end, especially when you take into consideration the portions. Also, with a lot of the meat dishes we have noticed that there tends to be a greater portion of vegetables than the actual meat itself. Don't get me wrong, the vegetables are tasty af, but it's slightly disappointing when you order a meat dish with vegetables but instead you get a vegetable dish with meat, if you get what I mean. Definitely a place to try. I would try ordering something from their chef special menu on the giant chalkboard hung up behind the counter! read more

Humungous menu, generous portions, reasonable pricing, delicious dishes etc etc etc Sidewalk Kitchen is excellent! Though our heads almost fell off while trying to narrow down the extensive menu, we settled on: pork & century egg congee (with fried bread), garlic green beans, ma po tofu, galbi (Korean short ribs), and 1/4 roasted duck. My fave was the congee; I was specifically craving it and god DAMN is it soul-soothing. The pork in it was well-seasoned and this is a good intro to anyone who's freaked out by preserved eggs. I also loved the roast duck which was tender, juicy, and came with a satisfyingly salty dipping sauce/jus. I wish the short ribs had a little more sweet and heat, but they were still incredibly tender and we got a good amount of them! Service was fast at first, the food came out swiftly, but then got slow towards the end. Stop in and bring a group so you can all share and probably bring home leftovers too. read more
