Remember "Nankin" Chicken Chow Mein? Found "Wangs" in "Tonka even better.
Been searching for years and years for good 'ole Nankin restaurant type chicken chow mein (with the little bits of ground pork in it) and a couple of weeks ago I stumbled into "Wangs Chinese Restaurant" and was amazed how good their chicken chow mein was, I was stunned actually. Might even go out on a limb and say it's better than Nankin's. They are working on putting up a website (under construction) but love their take out www.wangschinesefood.com . Generally when you order dine in, everyone's dish comes out with the chow mein on top of the noodles already with a side of rice (pay $1 more and get their fried rice with the chow mein, good!) but I prefer a seperate bag noodles with mine that's why I prefer take out. Please let me know what you think, it's worth the trip!

The old Nankin was before my time, but there are three restaurants that supposedly have Nankins recipe: Uptown Cafeteria & Support Group, Asian Bistro, and Red Dragon. Wangs does sound delicious, but I just thought I'd mention it in case you wanted to continue your quest. http://www.twincities.com/restaurants...

Oh! Sorry I wasn't clear. By "before my time", I meant "before I moved to MN". I'm a relatively recent transplant here. But, people talk about Nankin frequently on Chowhound, even though it's been gone for years. Sorry I missed it!

Yes, Asian Bistro in Woodbury! The owner, Brian, is a direct descendent of the original Nankin owner, and he has kept the classic Chow Mein recipe alive and well!
