american chinese food , bad dim sum

by ceciyumiyang

they already change owner and all the chefs on three years ago, can't you taste the big different than before? the chicken feet taste weir ,the rice noodle roll looks like creamy mud, size so small. the moo soo pork is so bad , the worst I ever have, I won't go back anymore.

by the way , Best Dim Sum awarded to Jun Bo Chinese Restaurant in 2006,2007,2008.

looking for the winner of 2009!

• Pros: easy to park
• Cons: bad dim sum , size small, pricey, no authentic stired fried

I didn't like it

by frizzipunk

I'm sure if I liked the food items more it would have been better (I'm a chinese food and sushi fan, I thought this would be ok) but the majority of the food looked gross and weird, I didn't want to try it. The few things I did try I thought were kinda icky, didnt think anything was good. This is my own opinion though. After about a 15 minute dining experience, my bf and i left and paid $25 for i dont even know what. This is definitely my personal opinion as the other reviews rave about this place. If you want to try dim sum and you dont want to be disappointed, I wouldnt go here unless you go with a dim sum professional who might be able to help you pick out the items based on what you already do like. Just looking at them didnt help us pick them out.

• Pros: Seating area is comfortable
• Cons: price, staff was kinda odd

Best Dim Sum, excellent Asian food, great customer service, friendly staff, no smoking (good!), nice ambiance

by LisaKitty

I totally disagree with "nirv" in that review. The Yangtze has excellent food, etc. and has won awards for their Dim Sum and Best Asian Restaurant and I think that is more important than one bad review. We have been going to the Yangtze since it opened in 1982 and surely wouldn't have kept such a faithful return if the food and service and ambiance weren't up to par. We go there once or twice a week for either dine in or take out, and Dim Sum at least twice a month. All the staff are very friendly and attentive and go out of their way to be of help. The majority of reviews are giving 4 and 5 stars, so they must be doing something right!

We have been to other Asian restaurants just to compare, but always return to the Yangtze.

• Pros: Everything about the Yangtze is pleasing
• Cons: I can't think of any "cons"

Sub par.

by nirv

I'm a huge fan of typical Chinese food: Chicken Chow Mein, chicken fried rice and Cream Cheese Won Tons. I tried all of these in 1 trip to Yangtze a few weeks ago and was disappointed because nothing I ordered was better than the Great Pearl in Brooklyn Park. (763) 566-1990‎.

The food was very salty and the cream cheese won tons especially were pretty terrible. They were too hard, small, and difficult to eat. The won tons found at the Great Pearl are the best I've ever had in Minnesota. You can shove an entire won ton dipped in sweet sauce and your eyes will roll into the back of your head because they're so delicious.

Not only was the food at Yagtze below my expectations, but the price was $12 more for the same amount of food at the Great Pearl ($37 compared to $25). So if you want better Chinese food at a lower price, try the Great Pearl. It's located right across the street from Whitle Castle on Zane/Brooklyn Blvd.

• Pros: Good interior, decent location. Polite service.
• Cons: More expensive than others, salty, below average taste.

My Favorite Chinese Restaurant

by lasa75

My family has been going to Yangtze for the last 24 years and has never been disappointed once. We have tried everything on the menu and their Dim Sum is the best in town. Highly recommend their fabulous Spicy House Shrimp, Volcano Chicken and Imperial Beef. Yangtze is GREAT for any occasion.

• Pros: Clean Place,, Generous Portions,, Friendly Service
• Cons: Can't think of one

Everytime when I come to the Twin Cities, I have to stop by for some Dim Sum.
