I should have read the reviews before we got food from this joint. We have been eating southern comfort and American food for the last 2 weeks. My daughter and I needed some Asian food in our lives. We ran into this and decided to grab a quick meal.
The food options were looking scarce. You can tell the food had been sitting for a while. Some of the sauces were dried up in the dishes from sitting in the warming plate for so long. It was truly slim pickings but there were a couple options that looked decent. I asked the cashier if they would be making more food. It was a little after 9 and they close at 10. "No" she said. "The kitchen is closed".
I got noodles with the orange chicken and Thai chicken curry. My daughter got the noodles with tofu, orange chicken and some green beans. I asked if the green beans count as a portion. There was barely any in the first place. That's why I asked her if they were making more. I'm happy she didn't consider it as a portion, I would have made her put it back. My daughter literally got 6 green beans and 1 of the 6 was actually a long stem.
Needless to say, the food was not worth the money I paid. The noodles were flavorless and so oily. The orange chicken was definitely cooked earlier and had sat for a long time. It had gummy texture from the sauce sitting on the breading for too long. The Thai curry chicken did have good heat to it but the chicken was dry and not rich in curry.
Just know there are so many food options in this airport before you make the same mistake and commit to this place. Don't do it. You're going to eat it, regret it and then have shoppers guilt for spending your hard earned money on this food. Go save yourself some money and eat at...
Read moreI was going to Panda Express but saw this restaurant was closer and similar so I gave it a try. Even with prepared lower expectations for airport food, this restaurant still managed to disappoint us.
We ordered a plate with 3 entries: garlic soy string beans, sesame chicken, firecracker shrimps. The rice here is less than the amount that Panda Express gives you. Flavor-wise: -String beans were very salty. If they make it less salty, maybe it'll be more eatable -Sesame chicken and shrimps were decent.
The place ambiance and seating is pretty good. Seems to be clean and spacious. Not sure if the bar is still open because no employees were standing in the bar area.
Service was definitely not good. They're not rude but not friendly. After my order, they ran out of rice AND noodles. All people behind me had to wait for at least 10 minutes to get their food. For me, I had to wait ~10 before I could pay because they had some issues.
If I had more time, I'd walk a little more to eat at...
Read moreI give 4 stars with the caveat that it is a pretty good option in the airport context. I fly out of the MSP airport regularly. It hosts many eating establishments. Many are really expense for what you get. I was pleasantly surprised to find Leanne Chins by Concourse D and C is affordable and the food is decent. I got a pick 2 entrees with fried rice. It cost $10.25. I got the sesame chicken - which was tasty. I also got the Thai Chili chicken, which was pretty standard. They offer comfortable seating in a relaxed atmosphere. Drinks are all bottled - except for drinks from their bar which is attached to the space. The staff was helpful, though not particularly friendly nor unfriendly - just doing their job. The venue was clean and well lit. All things considered, I’m sure I’ll stop back in on...
