Skyway Wok — Restaurant in Minneapolis

Final update: This was the nail in the coffin for me. I don't know if they're under new management or what is going on but they just get worse. I was in a pinch today, rarely go here anymore because of my last bad experience, but today I didn't have time for breakfast or to pack a lunch and I was super hungry so I popped upstairs to get some lunch....there was a huge fatty piece of chicken in my cashew chicken (that was supposed to be kung pao chicken, by the way because they didn't update their menu on doordash), that tasted like old fish! That usually means the chicken was rancid so...... I will never eat here again. I will hustle myself down to Whole Foods and back or Andrea Pizza or something if I find myself in this position again. It's just gone downhill so badly over the past year or two.

I've been a customer here for over ten years but when I came in to pick up my order last week, they asked for proof it was my order - fair enough, but when I showed them the email, it wasn't good enough. I don't have the doordash app anymore, so I couldn't show the actual order itself, but I had the confirmation email, the receipt email and the email and text saying it was ready to pick up and she still argued with me about whether it was my order or not. Even with proof that I paid for it and it IS mine, she wouldn't give me my food until after like, 5 minutes of arguing about it! I was made to feel like a criminal, a thief and a bum by her and will never go back again. Not that it makes a difference to their bottom line, but it is rather disappointing since I do like the food quite a lot, actually. I had a super busy day at work, I was already late for an appointment, was just going to pop upstairs real quick to grab my food before they closed and go back to my appointment, but no, it held me up an extra 5 minutes, got me embarrassed in front of all the other customers since they were accusing me of trying to steal someone else's order basically, put me in a terrible mood to go back to work in and ruined...

(DATE: 2025 June 11) Huge caveat to anyone coming here! Look carefully at the dates on the reviews you are reading!

They have greatly REDUCED the portion sizes while increasing the prices. To this day, a three item combo (Ex. Fried Rice + item1 + item2) comes to almost $15! The last few times I went, I only did so to punish myself because I continued to believe that I happened to be unlucky 4 or 5 times in a row - I am not unlucky, just stubborn. It is clear that the new servers there will no longer pile on the food like they used to.

If you are a smart consumer, disregard any reviews older than a few months to this date (Again, DATE: 2025 June 11). Those reviews are relics of the past, and can no longer be reliable. You'll note many of the newer reviews indicate the same!

I'd like to note, even with the reduced food amount, each meal probably still delivers enough sugars, cholesterols, and fats to independently feed you for the next day. Perfect if you need to incapacitate yourself for...

Very good food. Today I had the chicken wings, egg roll and spicy noodles. Everything was fresh and hot. I ate there a couple weeks ago and had the lo mien and fried rice which was also very good. Gotta try the green beans next time. Service is fast. Not overly friendly but certainly not bad. They get you in and out--exactly what you want in a Skyway lunch place! 11/20/14 update: I eat lunch here at least 4-5 times a month. I no longer like the spicy noodles but I notice they are very popular so maybe I just ate them too often??? The green beans are really good. I still love the egg rolls and chicken wings and have been getting the egg foo yung lately which is also quite good. I really have no complaints except the egg rolls are very greasy which makes then TASTE GREAT but probably not too healthy.

Enjoy!

9/23/19 update: stopped going here due to the ultra grumpy lady. She just doesn't even try. To be honest I still go sometimes but it's always the same...
