Big Bowl Ridgedale
Wait staff is so friendly & accommodating. She even allowed me to change my tuna poke bowl to salmon. Food is excellent!
Very good food. Chicken Satay is very flavorful. Stir-fry bar has some great options. Our server, Crystal, was totally on top of every need and request. Would eat here again. Gets pretty noisy when busy.
Tri's Wok
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.
Yangtze Restaurant
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.
Leeann Chin
Was shopping in ridgedale and wasn’t able to find something I wanted to eat.. then the smell of orange chicken hit my nose.. looked over and saw Leann Chin calling my name. Must of been fate, as I walked up to look at the food choice the lady working up front came from the back with a fresh pan of orange chicken.. seeing that sealed the deal!! I ordered the orange chicken with noodles and fried rice, got a soda as well. The prices are decent but the food was great! Fresh tasting and quick. Having this made the rest of my day go well. Thank you again
I frequently choose Leeann Chin and visit several times a week (mainly at the Knollwood location) and it's rare that I would an unsatisfactory dining experience, however, this past Good Friday I was up at Ridgedale in the early afternoon. So I walked in and didn't see any shrimp and asked the counterperson who didn't even look at me while stating simply one word: "No" and just kept doing her thing. As a result, I'm not spending $16 a pop for that kind of attitude, so I'll eat elsewhere not caring one bit that it was originally a local chain.
