Outstanding service

by garliceggs

We were staying at Children's Hospital and ordered food for delivery. The building is secured at night and cells phones aren't allowed. You have to call the NICU unit desk and then asked to be put through to a room. This is the number I gave the restaurant when I placed the order.

They said it would be 45-60 minutes so I went downstairs after an hour and waited around. I didn't see anyone so I came back, no one had called either. I called them back and they said that they had tried calling me, but there was no answer. They had sent the driver over, but they ended up returning with the food to the kitchen.

It turns out I had transposed two of the numbers and given them the wrong number. The driver had gone home (it was now after closing), but they guy I talked to (owner?) said he would bring the food by himself. He came right over.

The food was good. We read about the chicken in black bean sauce and ordered it - very good. Flavorful, tender chicken, large quantity. I thought the kung pao chicken was about average, not spicy (even by MN standards), but good quantity.

It's worth mentioning that this food is a great value. I thought we got a lot for the money. Would I order again? You bet.

• Pros: Service, value

Best Chinese food in the Twin Cities.

This is the place to go to find some of the best Chinese food made by a chef born and raised in Hong Kong. I recommend the chicken and black bean sauce pan fried noodle, otherwise try it with the FUN noodle, which are actually hand made noodles. If spicy is not your thing try Chicken and vegetables with noodles. They are known for having the best Pork Bao in the Midwest. It is a family run business that has been there for over 17 years. They use the freshest ingredients possible. This is the only Chinese place I can stand to eat at. The lunch buffet is the most valuable option, aside from the vast array of choices on the menu. You can try something new every time you go to Grand Shanghai!

• Pros: Great food, great value
• Cons: Parking may be difficult on Grand Ave.
