Bloomington, Minn. / No. of units: 41
This concept is a household name in Minneapolis, regularly receiving “Best Chinese Food” and “Best Takeout Food” ratings, as well as taking home numerous local and national awards for restaurant design. Although previous efforts to develop locations outside the confines of the Twin Cities area have been disappointing, the company is poised to embark on a third expansion attempt. In addition to an array of Chinese menu items, most locations boast the chain’s proprietary Red Cherry frozen yogurt.
