Crazy, when did you graduate? I'm going there now.

whatever that drive through vietnamese resturant on division is... it's tastey

Hmmm...I can't say I've ever had vietnamese food. The first thing that came to mind when I read that was lee ann chin though. I really have no idea what kind of food they serve. It's funny though, if you google "lee ann chin," the first thing that comes up is a page called "The Worst Restaurants in Minneapolis." Maybe that's not it. I go down division every day on my way to work, maybe I'll keep an eye out and report back.

edit: Looks like lee ann chin is chinese

Leann Chin is so Americanized that the only thing Chinese about it is the last part of the name. Best Chinese food I've had was in Vancouver, Canada. It's cheap and the cooks are actually Chinese. I can't say much for the Twin Cities Chinese food restaurants, except that Leann Chin SUCKS! Village Wok near the east side of the University (forget the street it's on, but it's near the Huron St Exit on 94) is way better than Leaan Chin.

If you want good Vietnamese food, go to Saigon on University and Dale in St. Paul. They have kickass Vietnamese sandwiches, pho, and Vietnamese cuisine. It's cheap and it's good. Pho 79 is also very good down in South Minneapolis.

That may be true, but when you're an American not of Asian descent and, thus, don't have an "Asian" palate, Americanized food tastes good no matter what it claims to be

Just wait till you taste real Chinese food; you'll never go back to Americanized.

Leann Chin is not chinese food! Go to Pad Thai on Grand Ave., or Wllow Gate, go to city pages and they usually have some good locations listed. If you want Lean Chins come to my house and I'll cook you some crap and over charge you. So is every one here in MN of drinking age?

Rainbow restaurant! That's good stuff.

EDIT: Or Ping's if you want it delivered. (But if you're going to pick it up or eat out, Rainbow all the way!)

I did pesticide application for a city government to suppress the mosquito problem...I'm not familiar with asian lady beetles. I'm sure I *could* get something that would take care of 'em...but I wouldn't spray it indoors.
