Cantonese favorites & seafood, steamed whole fish, Peking duck
"Highlighted for some of the best steamed whole fish in the Twin Cities, with recommended preparations such as yellow fish in a rich black bean sauce or sole steamed with ginger and scallions; the piece also reminds readers of traditional service practices, such as placing the fish head facing elders and saving a little for the next day as a symbol of good fortune." - Serena Maria Daniels
"There’s a dizzying array of Chinese fare on the menu at Shuang Cheng, with seafood dishes especially well-represented, like shrimp stir fried in lobster sauce and steamed walleye with ginger and scallions. The hot pot (choose from over a dozen meat, seafood, and vegetarian options) is a tasty way to take the chill off a winter day. Hours are 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., with last call at 8 p.m." - Stacy Brooks
"This 31-year Dinkytown staple is known for its top-notch Cantonese menu. It specializes in seafood dishes, like crab with ginger and scallions and baked lobster in a five-spice salt. (For holidays and celebrations, the Peking duck is a solid choice.) Shuang Cheng has great hot pot, too." - Eater Staff
