The food is very affordable, quick and each dish has a unique flavor (unlike some places where it's all very bland and everything tastes the same)- plus good portion sizes. Bathrooms have recently been remodeled and were clean. Seating for about 25 but a lot of people took their food to go so we didn't have trouble finding a table. Very authentic flavor at fast food prices. Update to other reviewer- they do have a soda fountain machine now.
Review Source:I FINALLY ordered from Eddie's. I've lived in the neighborhood for years and haven't ordered. With the flyers and coupons and I STILL haven't ordered.
I was hungry, pulled out my Yelp, read the reviews and remembered Eddie's! Duh! One reviewer wrote about the extra "flavor" that might be MSG. It's salt. LOTs of salt. The chicken part of the sweet and sour chicken was salty. The gravy for the egg foo young was salty. The filling on the crab rangoon was too much. So it wasn't everything that was salty, but it was enough to make me uncomfortable. I couldn't get around the sweet and sour chicken. I was stuck with the crab rangoon. I ate the patties with the tiniest bit of gravy.
Portions were fantastic! Delivery was fast. The prices would make the brokest college student do a happy dance. I ordered SO much stuff and it was perfectly packaged so that it felt like I had won a bingo getting so much food in one bag. But it was too salty for me. I will order from someone else next time. Sorry Eddie.
This place is tucked away in the same strip mall as Best Buy and Sports Authority off 494 and Lyndale.
It's a smaller place, but most people don't eat in anyway. If you go at lunch time, you can get a 2 or 3 item to-go box with rice for under $6 bucks. They have all the standard stuff. General Tso's Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, Chow Mein, Kung Pao chicken, etc. It's not bad. It's pretty standard take out chinese fare. They don't have a soda fountain but they sell cans of soda. Not sure if they use MSG or not. It tastes like they do. Don't know for sure.
The service is very quick. If you go at lunch time for the special, they have all the usual "favorites" already prepared and ready to go, so you don't have to wait for anything to be cooked. In and Out for cheap. Not a bad place for lunch.
Look, go into Eddie Cheng with the expectations that you'd have at any Asian takeout-delivery place and you probably won't be disappointed. Â They are fast. Â The food is heavy on flavor (is that MSG I feel coursing through my veins?), and the people are friendly. Â Don't hate me for saying this, but their English is better than it is at most spots like this. Â The language barrier HAS caused them to put in the wrong order for us once, but the meal we got instead was tasty so we didn't complain.
I am a fan of the kung pao chicken and fried rice. Â I haven't branched out and I haven't yet been disappointed in the half-dozen times or so that we've gotten take-out since moving nearby. Â The kung pao has a good kick to it. Â The cream cheese wontons are amazing here. Â My girlfriend is a connoisseur of the things and she gives them her seal of approval.
I'm a big (linebacker type) of guy, and the portions are, to me, very big, Â They've provided me with leftover lunch the following day every single time, and it's been surprisingly good reheated.
We recently got take out from here again with pretty much the same order that we got last time, except that we tried the crab rangoon instead of the cream cheese wontons. Â I was seriously craving some Chinese and the smell wafting from the bag on the way home was driving me nuts. Â The service was still good, but the veggie fried rice was too dry and the sweet & sour shrimp was overcooked and pretty oily. Â Maybe the oil wasn't hot enough when they were cooking it. Â My husband, who is a S&S shrimp slut (he usually finishes his and then tries to steal some of mine), actually threw out 2 of his shrimp - that's saying a lot. Â I don't recommend the crab rangoon because it's pretty much a cream cheese wonton, except that they charge you more. Â There is no crab taste in the rangoons. Â I looked at the rangoon, thinking that perhaps they gave me the wrong thing. Â Nope, there were tiny specks of red here and there, which leads me to believe that there is a miniscule amount of "crab" in the rangoon. Â I wonder if there's some ratio of crab to cream cheese that's required for it to actually be called crab rangoon.
About half an hour after I ate, I was in the bathroom, sick, and I almost never get sick from food! Â No one else in the family got sick, but now that I think about it, no one else ate 2 of the crab rangoons. Â Guess what I'm throwing out? Â I'm back to going to Red Pepper to satisfy my cravings. Â Sorry, Eddie Cheng, but I'm going to have to remove you from my pathetically short list of good Asian restaurants in the suburbs.
If you happen to be in the 494 corridor of the Twin Cities and have a hankering for some takeout Chinese, you'd do well with Eddie Cheng. Their menu is pretty large and very cheap. How cheap? A *large* soup is between $2.00 and $2.50. The house specialties menu is pretty solid as well. They have tables, but it's not a place to eat at. It's a great place to pick up food from, or, if you're in their delivery area, get delivery from. This isn't a destination, but a utilitarian place to get some good, cheap Chinese. The only thing I found odd is that a couple times, a younger guy works the register, and he won't let you order lo mein with extra garlic. What's up with that?
