Dirty restaurant and old food. Absolutely disgusting place and I never write reviews like this. Seriously. There were numerous puddles on the floor, including one right where I was sitting that was completely dirty standing water and ruined the bottom of my new work pants. My food was sitting out for a long time and there was barely any of the chicken left. She just scooped up the few old dried out pieces up and gave me my order totally under weight so she didn't have to put a new order In I was in too much of a hurry on my break from work to wait for new food. And the pink lemonade that's prelemade and sitting by the salads is gross and warm. Nasty. Never coming back here again which is a shame since it's right by my work. Oh and she tried to charge me 19$ for one small.meal and a drink and offered no apology and acted annoyed when my change was kind of stuck in my wallet and I had to spend an extra half second grabbing a quarter. And she didn't even tell me what I owed either time. I had to look on the register. No words spoken at all. No thank you, sorry for inconvenieve, have a nice day, come again. Nothing. She just stood there looking all extra bright. Lol

I have been to many LeAnn Chin places and its only ok food. Nothing special but it works. Today I went there and the food was just old and soggy. The girl working there getting my food seemed very annoyed that she was even at work. Not only am I proceeding to still purchase soggy old food since I'm already there I get a side of attitude from the employee. I knew exactly what I wanted and didn't take long so I'm sure it wasn't me being a picky customer or holding up the line (there was no1 behind me though) that made her crabby. The guy there was cheerful and it was him just being who he is that made me actually go through with paying for the food. Sorry I don't recall any names. The food was very plain. I got the bourbon chicken and rice. It tasted like it looked. Soggy and old. At this point I've given up on LeAnn Chin. I gave it 2 stars because it was clean in there, not busy & the 1 guys cheery personality pushed it up from 1 star to 2.

I haven't been to Leeann Chin for over 15 years and I thought I'd give it a try again. Well, it's still pretty bad as I remember. I don't think it's this particular restaurant only, but as a whole chain, the food is soooooo salty. I don't understand how this is good to anyone. This place makes Panda Express like gourmet restaurant. One thing I do like from here is the fried rice. It's not salty and has good flavor.

Well it's a mall food court so you don't expect the best meal ever, and you might find the surprise here and there. But I have been to Leeann Chin downtown and even had it at other locations. Then there is this one. This outlet is the CHEAPSKATE king of crappy food! I ordered the Thai chicken and beef and broccoli. I got two pieces of chicken one of which was the size of a finger tip and two pieces of beef both small. The rice was normal. The Leeann Chin downtown easily doubles this place's crummy miser portions and why pay that much for salty carrot slivers with next to nothing for meat? Do yourself a favor and walk down the other end to the Mandarin place. Get more, as good or better and save money. Or go next door to Little Tokyo which is about as Japanese as this food is Chinese. Leeann Chin was supposed to be a quality version of a Chinese American restaurant, but the Eden Prairie one is bad overpriced and stingy. Avoid these cheap crumbs!

Seriously, this isn't even close to Chinese food. As usual with most Chinese, too much salt . The selections not so great. Honestly, you'd do better at home with a box of minute rice, a jar of sweet and sour sauce and some Tyson chicken nuggets. Actually, I think that is the recipe for sweet and sour chicken at Leeann Chin. Try just about any other Chinese chain.
Lovin it! If I could eat as much of this as I wanted and not gain a pound, I would. I love Lee Ann Chin's. The food of course is not authentic but who cares when it tastes like this. They have a fairly large selection of entrees that range from orange chicken (which is awesome!) to a couple beef dishes that I have never ventured to solely because I had the Peking chicken one day and have never looked back! They offer fried rice but it differs from other places in that there is none of the egg, carrots and peas in it. Instead it has mushrooms, bean sprouts and onion ( I know that I am missing something still just not sure what. Just another excuse to go back!). The lo mien noodles are alright but not the best ever. They offer white rice too of course. They have many appetizers too! The cream cheese puffs are a must! Going in and not having at least one is just unheard of. My mother and sister love the oyster wings and have been known to have those as their entree. This location has frozen yogurt too. Ask for a sample and they will definitely oblige. I personally am not a bit fan but will say that it is very light and would be great on a hot summer day.

Ever since Leeann Chin sold out, this place has definitely changed for the worse. Now, finding any entrée that isn't made with what appear to be mini-chicken mcnuggets is incredibly difficult. Occasionally, they have one dish with beef or shrimp, but typically it is sold out. Everything else is coated chicken. While I think it is still okay if you like coated chicken, I really don't see any of that as desperately healthy, which is kind of what Chinese food is known for. I reviewed this location in particular for another reason, though. It is LOUD! Which is totally annoying. Has nothing to do with the other customers however, and everything to do with their flooring. The chairs sliding along the tile floors...even if you are moving your seat up a couple of inches...sounds like a cat in agony! AND IT ECHOES and is soooo irritating! If you do choose to eat here, I would strongly suggest you grab something 'to go.' The noise level alone is enough to ruin your meal.
