Golden Chow Mein to Remain on West 7th

“FINALLY!!!!!! The news we’ve all been waiting for! Golden Chow Mein will continue with new owners!!!!!!” Long-time employee Mary Erjavec announced on social media August 19.

Erjavec said owner Kwok Qu Ng had found someone to take over the business in October, which was when they originally had planned to shut down operations. 

“The new chef has 15 years of experience here in the Twin cities,” Erjavec said. “Qu is already working with him to ensure that it will be a smooth transition.” 

She said that transition includes keeping the menu as-is for the time being.

Golden Chow Mein, which has been making traditional Cantonese fare on West 7th for 38 years, first announced its planned closure in April because the owner was ready to retire. The originally planned closing date in October was timed with the restaurant’s license renewal.

Erjavec said she and Ng’s final day will be October 22, with the new owner taking over shortly thereafter.
