Excellent and Consistent

by ErikWestgard

We like the beef (Pho) and chicken soups and I have #22 a lot. The bubble tea is outstanding - try taro. The salads are light and fresh. They are skilled with tofu.

If you are tired of Americanized Asian this is your place.

• Pros: Soups and noodles are tops

cheap good eats

by peacereaper

I've been here more than once. The coconut bubble tea is delicious. I don't remember straying away from the noodle dishes here as they don't seem to have many other vegetarian choices in other areas. It's cheap food with large servings. Brought my family here and everyone enjoyed their food. At one point, we ordered the green papaya salad, which was extremely spicy. Waay to spicy for me and my boyfriend (granted I don't have an iron tongue). This may be a place people pass by to go somewhere more aestetically pleasing, but once you get past that, it's a good place to eat.

From a caucasion and Cambodian.

My girlfriend, who is Cambodian, and I went to Cheng Heng today after a horrible experience with Village Wok in Minneapolis and the moment the food was put in front of me, I knew it was going to be good. I had the #52, which is in the "new item" section of the menu and it was delicious. The green peppers were crunchy and perfectly cooked, as were the onions -- and the chicken was wonderful. The subtle sweet sauce in this dish is what convinced me. Eaten with chopsticks.

My girlfriend choose the #15 which featured Chow Fun-like noodles (she says it's spoken like Mee-gah-ton noodles) but she enjoyed it very much.

I would suggest getting a soda dispenser as opposed to using normal 12oz soda cans because not only does it taste better when dining out in my opinion, but it's also cheaper for the store itself.

This was my first experience with Cheng Heng and it won't be my last.

• Pros: Authentic, delicious food cooked and prepared well.
• Cons: A bit messy environment by Caucasion standards. Funky bathroom. Soda comes in 12oz cans.
