Jang Won is a Korean-Chinese restaurant with a very cozy atmosphere and a fine selection of both Korean and Chinese dishes. If you've never had kimchee, this is the place to try it, both cabbage and radish kimchee are served as a condiment with every meal. Be adventurous, and order something from the Korean side of the menu -- We heartily recommend the Be Bim Bop, sort of a Korean Cobb salad featuring beef, egg, and fresh vegetables. One of the nicest features of this restaurant is that they are MSG Free.

A very exciting place to celebrate a special occasion or impress a visitor. Meals are prepared at the table in a highly theatrical style and served up with a great deal of flair.

Prices are about 30 dollars a plate. A Sushi bar is also available.

This is an excellent choice if you are new to Thai cuisine; it is a noodle dish with a rich peanutty sauce with chicken and lemon grass and just enough zing to make you smile. Another dish that is not to be missed is their pork in white pepper and garlic sauce. Prices range from $10.00 to $15.00 per plate.

This new Thai restaurant is on the border of Burnsville and Savage right on the busy County Road 42. They serve great Thai dishes from Pad Thai to tasty Thai curry. The restaurant offers special authentic Thai varieties on the weekend from Cat fish mango salad to Northen style Thai noodle. My favorites include, of course the Pad Thai (which I think it 's by far the best in town), fresh springrolls w/ tamarind sauce, Walleyes in their Sam Ros sauce and last but not least, the sweet sticky rice and fresh mango. They also offer variety of Thai noodle. Very nice ambience with wine and beer. Friendly staff. I think it is one of the best kept secret Thai restaurant in MN.

Traditional Japanese dining and sushi in a smoke-free environment. A bright interior and lots of blond woods make this an upbeat, cheery place. In addition to some of the best sushi in town, they offer bento, traditional soups, and teriyaki. With a wide selection of sakis (Japanese rice wines), this is a great place to celebrate that special occasion. Top it off with their tempura ice-cream and go for a stroll along the Mississippi.

Located on Grand Avenue just East of Hamline, The Grand Shanghia Express offers some of the best Chinese food in the Twin Cities. It's not your run of the mill Chicken Chow Mein (although for the less adventurous that is on the menu), rather, the menu is rich with a variety of delicious and authentic Chinese dishes. Start out with the steamed dumplings as an appetizer, then savor the 7 spice sole or the Chinese Greens with Chicken. The sole is melt on your tongue tender and is spiced to perfection. It's very delicous and the portions are generous enough to enjoy the next day for lunch or dinner.

A hip sushi place on the second floor of Calhoun Square, Sushi Tango features wonderfully fresh sushi imaginatively presented. Their chiragi sushi puts one in mind of the korean dish be-bim-bop, but done with raw fish. They also offer an array of creative martini drinks as well as the more traditional sake. This popular spot is somewhat small, so if you go on a weekend night expect to wait a bit for a table.
