Went there for Saturday dim sum. Arrived at noon and didn't have to wait for a table. Food was okay, service was excellent but like anywhere you go for dim sum it was very crowded.

Chinese food in general in the twin cities areas is not great but this place is particularly not good. Overflavored with salt, overpriced and limited portions.

Good:
Ive worked and lived in China for almost 20 years and had dim sum countless times including the heart of dim sum in Guangzhou, Guangdong province. The good thing is that Yangtze Restaurants dim sum is possibly the closest youll get in terms of authentic dim sum flavor in Minnesota, perhaps reaching 85% with what Ive had in China. Next level would be in a city with a bigger Chinese community such as Chicago, NY or San Francisco.
Bad:
Theres unfortunately a lack of transparency with the dim sum menu in terms of pricing as there are no prices displayed. Of course, we shouldve asked since it was our first time but we did not wish to be rude and ask how much each dim sum cost. Also, it was really busy (Easter Sunday).
In the end, we ended up paying a total of $270 including tip and tax for 4 adults and 1 kid (photo of receipt below for reference). Thats about $90 per person since three of us decided to split the bill. When asked for an itemized receipt, it did not show which items were ordered. Instead, dim sum is categorized as medium, large and X-large prices.
In addition, our host decided to lecture us on how to fill out our dim sum order form. It was an honest mistake on our part but she didnt have to be rude. But then again, we came on a busy Sunday and she had been dealing and yelling with customers the entire morning. Our server, a gentleman, was very nice to us however.
Area(s) to improve on:
Improve dim sum menu which displays prices or at least allow customers to know which are priced which.
Also, improve hosts service with customers while waiting in line when it gets busy. Although not directed to us, it makes us feel uncomfortable. How would we know if the host will treat us any different?
Conclusion:
Next time for dim sum, Yangtze Restaurant wont be our immediate choice because we want to try out the other places in the Twin Cities to compare.
