There is a place on 55 out by Medicine Lake that had good orange chicken about 8 years ago. Then they changed hands, and they have the same old battered chicken like every other Chinese joint I've tried.

I'm looking for thin, crispy strips done in dark and spicy sauce, but not too much. Any recommendations??

I'm not an orange chicken afficionado, but have you tried rainbow chinese on nicollet?

I haven't been in a while. It has a good reputation for chinese food, though I don't know if its super authentic or not. It is across the street from a great asian grocery store though.

Another idea: Yangtze on 394 & Park Place/ Xenia. Supposed to have the best sunday brunch; again not sure of overall authenticity.

Can't we go ONE WEEK without another one of these Minneapolis Orange Chicken threads?

Went there like 5 years ago. I should go back and try. That's make a good Sunday ride for me and my Chinese-food-loving buddy. The ride back might suck, buffet and all.
