Good: I’ve worked and lived in China for almost 20 years and had dim sum countless times including the heart of dim sum in Guangzhou, Guangdong province. The good thing is that Yangtze Restaurant’s dim sum is possibly the closest you’ll get in terms of authentic dim sum flavor in Minnesota, perhaps reaching 85% with what I’ve had in China. Next level would be in a city with a bigger Chinese community such as Chicago, NY or San Francisco. Bad: There’s unfortunately a lack of transparency with the dim sum menu in terms of pricing as there are no prices displayed. Of course, we should’ve asked since it was our first time but we did not wish to be rude and ask how much each dim sum cost. Also, it was really busy (Easter Sunday). In the end, we ended up paying a total of $270 including tip and tax for 4 adults and 1 kid (photo of receipt below for reference). That’s about $90 per person since three of us decided to split the bill. When asked for an itemized receipt, it did not show which items were ordered. Instead, dim sum is categorized as medium, large and X-large prices. In addition, our host decided to lecture us on how to fill out our dim sum order form. It was an honest mistake on our part but she didn’t have to be rude. But then again, we came on a busy Sunday and she had been dealing and yelling with customers the entire morning. Our server, a gentleman, was very nice to us however. Area(s) to improve on: Improve dim sum menu which displays prices or at least allow customers to know which are priced which. Also, improve host’s service with customers while waiting in line when it gets busy. Although not directed to us, it makes us feel uncomfortable. How would we know if the host will treat us any different? Conclusion: Next time for dim sum, Yangtze Restaurant won’t be our immediate choice because we want to try out the other places in the Twin Cities to compare.

Kinda disappointed. Since this venue is a stones throw away from the hotels and Shops at West End, prices here are elevated compared to what you would pay at any other Chinese restaurant. For the price, the food wasn't worth it. They do give you a good amount of food and generous amounts of protein but the flavor was just lacking. I got the Hunan triple crown since it was recommended. Maybe I should have picked something else. I do have to give credit to the guy at the front desk for being an excellent host. He was very courteous and I noticed that he even put in the effort to remember the names of frequent patrons.

Had an appointment nearby and decided to eat at this Leeann Chin location instead of driving up Route 7 to Knollwood Plaza. Ordered my typical chin dynasty that consists of two (2) 1/2 entrees over fried rice. I got the usual firecracker shrimp and the second option was the sesame chicken. Nothing short of excellent, the store was clean, the food was hot.

Don't recommend the noodles at this location, 3 out of the 5 times I've been here it's tasted like play dough. The rest of the food is good. Service is great.
