Leo's Chow Mein — Restaurant in Saint Paul

Update 03/13/2024 Oh Leo's why did you have to change? Alright food is still A1, great, taste the same for the most part. They changed to no more dine in, which also means there is no lunch buffet there any more. It's a sad Era, they also changed their soda selection, now it is just the basics, Pepsi, diet Pepsi, Dr P, Mntdew, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Rootbeer. Well they don't have dine in so that also means no more of that crushed shaved ice they had, that stuff was good too. On the hot summer days their lunch buffet saved me from not eating, and that yummy shaved ice that you got with your soda cooled you down. Well it could be worse, they could have closed all together. So to rehash, no more dine in, it is take out only, the recipes to me taste the same as there may be small differences, but the food is still great with same size portions. Your sod choices are basic, no more strawberry, grape or orange, no buffet, no apple pay either. They do except cash and/or debit/credit card, still have to ask for extra spy sauce. Hahaha oh yes and they will still tell you soy sauce is in bag, but u better check because they get so busy they do forget, a lot, but remind em and they'll do it. So good food, no dine in, take out only, soda selection basic, cash and or cards that's it. 03/13/2024 ^^^^^^^^^^^

The is a classic place for me. Grew up eating here and still love this place. Whenever I eat Chinese food I always use Leo's are my comparison as in " Leo's doesn't make their fried rice like this." Prices are comparable to the market as well, and the food quality is just how I remember. There are more items included on the menu now. They are taking orders for pick up, due to COIVD there is no dining in, which means no lunch buffet. When the lunch buffet does come back it is worth a try if you have never had it before. They bring the dishes to your table for selection and they offer many different items for the lunch buffet. If you've never had Leo's before I suggest giving it a try and I doubt you will be disappointed, may even become your new go-to. Update 10 Feb 2023 So my precious Leo's has been switched to carry out only. I asked the employees and owner and none have any idea of when or if they will have dine-in ever again. Now the issue with this is that means there is no lunch or dinner buffet anymore. That was a lifesaver during my summer break when in middle school, and my parents were at work. Use to be $6 for lunch buffet all u can eat and a...

I went there in Oct 2017 & order wings, egg roll, fried rice. The food was good that day back then. I've ordered the same food twice since then, in Feb 2018 & in May 2018. In Feb 2018 the egg rolls & rice was not as tasty, the chicken tasted ... old & was dried out. May 2018 Recently my order of fried rice tasted off putting, the egg rolls: pork and veggies ones had a terrible flavor & smell - old & earthy. Was outdated old cabbaged used perhaps??? The chicken had the same smell & taste (Frying everything in the same oil is my guess.) Plus there was slight chemical cleasning agent taste present while eating the chicken too.

My guy friend & I ate the food. We traveled a few miles to go there, and he spent over $30.00, we didn't want to drive back & return half eaten food, nor waste the money. Also watching Leo's employees prep food in the public dinning area is a big turn off. High carbs, high sodium, high priced & tastless. I won't eat there...

We have been going to Leo's for over 30 years. When Leo actually owned it We love their fried rice more than anywhere else. No one else's compares, and we have tried many other places. Recently they changed the meat from those weird little squares, and I have to say the squares were actually better. The chicken was really dried out. So I'd say order the meatless at this point. They still have the best fried rice around.

Some of our other favorites are the Beef and Pea Pods. Love it! Their Fried Chicken and Fries is also a great meal. I love their Wontons, Egg Rolls, and Egg Foo Young. Their Chow Mein is pretty typical of all Minnesota Chow Mein. Still good. It's not the greatest place aesthetically speaking, but the food has always been good. It's worth the trip. We no longer live in St. Paul, but I stop in when I'm on that side of town. Still the best Fried...
