Editorial Review for Shuang Cheng Restaurant – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
Popular with high profile chefs out for a bite as well as university students who know a good, cheap meal when they see one, this big place is always busy. Bargain-basement decor matches bargain-basement prices for reliably fresh fare. A dictionary-size menu is overwhelming--with Szechuan specialties, hot pots, vegan options, and loads of seafood, such as the sesame shrimp--battered with a light airy touch, the prawns are drizzled with sweet but not overpowering sauce.

This is hands down the best chinese food in the twin cities. Our family has been going to this restaurant for years. We have tried most if not all the chinese restaurants in town and no one cooks seafood like they do. If you ever go there, try their deep fried walleye with meat sauce. We live about 40miles from them but it is worth the trip for some good food. Their price is really cheap compared to other places we've been to, and the portions are big. I Highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for some authentic chinese food.
Pros: Really good food, and nice people working there
Cons: We get too full when we leave

I was in search for some great sesame chicken when I moved up here. Out of the numerous restaurants I've tried, this one stole my tastebuds. For $12, and a large portion that could serve 2 very hungry people or 3 people, it's a great deal. The flavors are there and it hits the spot when I have a chinese craving. The service is always quick and friendly. I usually order to-go but they have great daily lunch specials. Enough food to fill you up for $5.50. What a deal! I feel like I'm stealing from them it's so good. It gets very busy at lunch time after 12:00 but there is enough seating to accommodate a hungry crowd. I ordered the garlic chicken and the mongolian beef the other night. I was not impressed with those dishes and would not order those again. The garlic chicken had too much ginger, almost inedible. The mongolian beef just did not have a good flavor, it was just a little off. The egg rolls are really good, also some of the best egg rolls I've had at a chinese restaurant.
Pros: Sesame Chicken, Value, 1Hr parking validation
Cons: Ambience
