New location, bigger, brighter, spacious layout with average service. Understandable under staffs during soft opening. Water, tea, Digital and eliminated dimsum menu provided once we seated. But it takes a very long time to flag a staff to place the orders. The orders take even longer to arrive on the table. It wasn’t busy. If you have little ones, you should order once you seated. The wrapper of the shrimp dumplings and chive dumplings were a little too thick. custard pineapple buns with coconut were very dry. Pork dumplings and Mild sweetness egg custard was okay. Tender Pork with salted and pepper and flavorless crispy noodles with chicken and vegetables was average. Extremely bland string bean dish and Shrimps, eggs and chives dish contains mostly chives( the worst I ever had). Overall every single dishes were lack of flavor/lack of seasonings. Hopefully it will improve in the future.

3 stars is being nice more of 2.5 ✨. Putting in consideration that it's a soft open at the new Bloomington location and that we came before the Friday dinner rush. Waited a little bit to get a tablet to see the menu and sat awhile to put in our order... That was just the beginning of it all. It took 35-40 min for food to completely come out. Food was warm/cooler than it should be. It seems like it was sitting in the kitchen for awhile waiting for the waiter to serve it. An extra 40+ minutes literally in waiting for the check to come out and they have the audacity to charge 18% for a family of 3. Trust me we were not the only unhappy ones waiting for the check. Bill came out to be $145. I saw an older couple in their 80's sitting there waiting for the check way before us and the husband had to walk around struggling with his legs to find someone to ring them up. Smh 🤦🏻‍♂️We tried to flag down 3 different staff to get our check. Don't even ask about how long it took us to get togo boxes. After asking 3 staff we still waited for a long time. It got to the point my wife stood up, raised her voice very uncommon for her to do that and waived the guy in front (host/owner) to ring up our check. It was not a good experience! Food was good slightly salty but there was no refills on the water or extra napkins. Very understaffed but don't do that - Service is service and you deserve tip when it's earned. Charge when it's 6+ people or more. Very disappointing! Wait for this place to get their kinks situated before trying it out because it not worth the long wait IF you're a loyal fan of the original location at the UofM. Location is very inconvenient and tucked away between hotels, motels, and business buildings across from Walmart. Somewhat going out of your way to find it.

Update: I come here at least once a week for sushi. The sushi is always top tier. got my lunch from here today and overall it was a great meal. The sushi was extremely fresh and absolutely phenomenal. Their sushi was actually better than most places I’ve been that are dedicated to sushi. The orange chicken itself was good, nothing too special. The rice was very DRY! Other than the rice being dry, it was pretty good. You can kind of see how it’s like sticky rice so it dried out really fast once I opened the container to eat. I will definitely come back here for the sushi and roll alone!

Ordered on line for four people. Ordered at 12:30pm for a 5:30pm delivery. Great on-line site to order. Forgot an item so I called and man on the phone was able to pick out our order and add the item. Came right on time and food was nice and hot. Very polite delivery person. Portions were generous and everything we ordered was correct. Hopefully other people have the same experience.

Honestly, it is a very reasonably priced Chinese restaurant. The food is good and the service is fine. They have a great lunch menu that is mostly catered to American palet and other authentic Chinese dishes. This is definitely a family friendly restaurant located in a strip mall. I'd recommend giving them a try. We'll definitely be back!

A hidden gem in the greater Twin Cities area. I came here for lunch on Saturday and absolutely loved the soup noodles. We got the beef brisket and the pork ribs one. I recommend the beef one more - the meat was just more tender and more flavorful. The squid rolls were amazing. I highly recommend this dish if you like squid. It was a good mixture between crispy and squid texture. I recommend this place to anyone who likes spicy food (they have non-spicy dishes too). The drive was a bit far but definitely a must check out place if you’re in the area!

I used to get take out here years ago when I lived in the area. Decided to stop in as I remembered it was good. Was greeted warmly. I had some questions about ingredients and the young man was more than willing to look up ingredient labels for me to verify. Quite accommodating. We ordered pork fried rice, Curry beef and barbecue pork appetizer. The curry beef was excellent, quite delicious. I'm already planning a return trip for more in the future. The barbecue pork appetizer was not quite like I remember it. I remember caramelized pieces of barbecue pork. This was barbecue pork in a sauce. It was good, just not as good as I remember it. The pork fried rice contained pieces of pork that were closer. Prices are excellent. No price gouging here. My total was under $20. However, be prepared to bring cash as they don't have a card machine or Google/Apple pay. I will definitely be back again.

This is the worst $9 I ever spendt in my life. Food was so horrible and chewy I couldn't even eat it. Cheese Wontons were like rocks because of how hard they were. Sesame chicken didnt have any flavor and was chewy. Rice was typical. Im so disappointed!!

Greeted warmly at the door. We had ordered on line and I was a little early. The cuisine was prepared to order and was still properly warm once I got it back tobthe hotel. Portion sizes were too huge. There was enough for at least two or three people for each order. Sweet and sour sauce was delicious. Chicken with cashews and shrimp dish was fantastic. Little hole in the wall place certainly met and actually exceeded our expectations.

The food is good here but the location is a little small if you tried to bring a family it would fill up fast. The food is worth it though, if you don't need a lot of flavor. The flavor it muted but delicious all the same. There are drawings hung on the wall by children that make it feel more homey.

This is for a delivery order. Food was good! The appetizer tray isn’t bad, I’d pick just the chicken wings out of the mix though to get again. The wonton soup has veggies and pork added which is a nice touch, the broth is flavorful and the dumplings are great. The chicken chow mein is a solid classic comfort dish and the Singapore chow mein with shrimp was good. I mixed the veggies and shrimp and sauce with the noodles to have a lo mein type meal of it and added soy sauce for flavoring. It all hit the spot for a classic Americanized Chinese meal without skimping on quality/flavor

I've been going here 30 plus years. Not many restaurants survive 30 years. A few things you should know about this place: It's called "Keng's Chow Mein", which means you should get the Chow Mein. I don't generally like Chow Mein, maybe you don't like Chow Mein either, but you should still get the Chow Mein. The fried rice is bland, but that's okay, it tastes great mixed with the Chow Mein. Egg rolls are good, chicken wings are good, but again get the Chow Mein and then experiment with the rest of the menu. It says that you can dine in, and I have seen people do that, but it's frowned upon. This is a take out place. If you insist on eating there don't expect service. Even if you pick up the food, don't expect service. More than once I've stood there for ten minutes plus waiting for someone to come to the desk. They don't care, they will get to you when they get to you. Think the soup guy from Seinfeld. Buy the big containers, you're gonna want leftovers.

We got dim sum here, there weren’t as many options as some restaurants; however, they also had so many entree options and other Chinese food. They have a lunch buffet Monday-Friday. Dim sum took around 15 minutes to come out and each dish was like 5-7$. Shown below: Egg Tart, Sticky Rice, Shrimp Dumplings, Egg Rolls, Scallion Pancakes

Good quality food , with vegetarian options. We had 1st birthday party of grandson. Great service with smiles and tasty food.

Flew in from CO and just experience the best Chinese food I’ve ever had in the US so far. We were in the neighborhood and caught a delicious smell of Chinese food, so we wandered around until we found this place and man, the food was as yummy as it smelled! We had cheese wontons, egg flower soup, and chicken with broccoli. The wontons had a thin delicate crispy fry on them and were filled with cream cheese, the soup had a rich broth - one of the best we’ve tried, and the sauce on the chicken with broccoli was so flavorful and the broccoli was still slightly crispy. Not sure who this chef is, but this will be a must go-to every time we’re in Minneapolis. Nice work guys! Delicious food, friendly staff, clean restaurant, at a great price. Go check them out!

Great spot for that Chinese food from your childhood small town strip mall. The atmosphere is stark at best and be prepared for some off-putting odors. Grab your food to-go if this might bother you. That being said, the food here makes it all worth while. We ordered the egg foo young and the Szechuan tofu. Service was slow, but the staff here are kind and apologetic -great people. The Szechuan sauce was the perfect balance of salty umami with a touch of sweet, and heat that creeps up on you. The veg really was cooked to perfection. Cooked through, but still a nice crunch remaining. This was my first egg foo young experience and it was great. That brown gravy is special stuff. The best part of the experience after the food, is getting the check. This place is impossibly affordable. Two people can easily split one entree and still have leftovers. If you're looking for that old school strip mall hidden gem, this place will tick that box.

This was the second time I have ordered take out from this place and the second completely disgusting experience. The first time I wanted a quick snack and got some Vietnamese egg rolls. They were barely warm and so dry, it blew my mind how that combo could happen. I chalked it up to a bad night to give the benefit of the doubt. Went there again today for a snack and both items were inedible. The cranberry cream cheese wontons were fried within an inch of their life to the point where the filling was gelatinous. The fried potstickers were luke-warm and the dough was tough and gummy. I do not understand how this place has above a 4 star rating.

Ordered sweet &sour pork, usually get pineapple & green pepper with it. Not from this place. Wonton and egg rolls were way over cooked until hard. I won't be ordering from here anymore. Place is nothing like it used to be.

I got sesame chicken. He got GenTsao combo. Both were sub par. He got a big ball of connected chicken pieces which you can't help but wonder if it got to temperature for food safety. My chicken tasted freezer burnt. He said his just tasted stale. I think they are the same chicken though. It was definitely chewy, as if it was overdone or just past is prime before it was even cooked. Rice was good. He also was lacking in any sauce on the bottom of the container. Fried rice was alright. His wontons were both crispy and soggy/greasy, but the dog liked them. I couldn't eat my food. I spit out both the broccoli and the chicken and ate just the white rice. We will not be returning.

The food is edible for me. Not good as this is not my taste. The chicken wing is taste so different than my usual chicken sauce I order from other place. Guess it is just depends on how people liking the tastes. The fried clear noodle also not tastes good to my preference. But like I said, everyone has their own preference taste so tried for yourself. But for me, not going to come for second time. The service is good. No dine in spot.

This is one of those low key hidden gem restaurants that serve authentic food without a doubt, because it's not only difficult to locate, but also relatively exclusive in terms of its clientele. I enjoyed everything I have had here so far and definitely appreciated the authentic aspect of the food they have. The only improvement I could suggest was the taste of a lot of their dishes, as flavors tended to be on the mild side. It doesn't mean their food is any less authentic, though, and I would recommend all that are looking for authentic Chinese food to visit here. Individually, I ordered dishes that I would normally order in Chinese restaurants, so while I am not sure if there's anything I can necessarily recommend yet, I will say that I thought every dish I have had were above average in comparison to the same dishes I have had elsewhere. My favorite so far is the fried pork in scoop (锅包肉) and I don't even regularly eat pork. There was a nice layer of sweetness and sourness witht the sauce outside the pork pieces. The vegetable dishes like eggplant in garlic sauce (鱼香茄子), green beans with garlic (干煸四季豆), and Chinese cabbage (手撕包菜) are all tasty enough. The Chinese cabbage contained a lot of vinegar, and I bet some people would enjoy that. I didn't taste enough cumin in the cumin lamb (孜然羊肉) dish, but there was an abundant amount of lamb and I appreciated it. The spicy pepper chicken (辣子鸡) was very delicious and had the right amount of spice in my opinion. There is a Relaxing Healthy Center that's connected to the restaurant and apparently that establishment has been very popular, especially in the evenings. I have not visited there yet but I heard that it was similar to saunas in China, and I would love to visit there soon. Regardless, this is a hidden gem, hole in the wall, type of spot and I would definitely recommend everyone.

On a Saturday at 11:30 am, we arrived at the restaurant and found that we had the entire place to ourselves. The interior was spacious and bright, with plenty of natural light. Our server was friendly and helpful, answering all my questions about the menu. We ordered dumplings, general tao’s chicken, shrimp fried rice, and beef fried noodles (lo mein). Every dish was fantastic! Unlike most Chinese food that can make you feel heavy and bloated, the flavors were light and delicious. We were impressed with the quality of the food; the shrimp fried rice had large, fresh shrimp, and lo mein noodles were cooked perfectly. I know this place is a hit or miss from previous reviews but give it a chance yourself. We highly recommend this restaurant to friends and family and will definitely be returning. We hope that it will be around for many years to come! I had to mention their spicy pepper chicken and Kung Pao chicken that we tried the other day! I'm so happy I asked the server what her favorite dish was- spicy pepper chicken isn’t as spicy as it looks and packs so much flavor and crispiness! The Kung Pao was very light and fresh!

After reading recent reviews I was a bit hesitant to try this place - but what most had in common were that they were disappointed it's not the same food as with previous owners. I was staying at a nearby hotel for business, so gave them a try and I'm glad I did. The food overall was good, not perfect but much better than other fast food or quick Chinese restraunts. The worke was helpful in making my selections. The sesame chicken seemed a bit overcooked and over oiled but the sauce was good. The beef and broccoli also had a good amount of both broccoli and beef, which other places usually leave it lacking in one or the other. I really did like the bamboo shoots in it. And the beef Lo Mein was my least favorite with the beef being a bit dried out but I still enjoyed it - and would 100% order again without a protein instead. The white rice that comes with the entrees was basic but good and what is expected. I under estimated the amount of food I was going to get, so have eaten it for 4 meals and still have leftovers - it is also heating up well.

We catered here for our company lunch party on Friday ordering a dozen trays of food. The staff gave great feedback on the food and the service was timely.
