50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Cahokia

“Great service, great food we all love China Express“

“Drove about 50 miles to try this spot out and it was definitely worth the trip! Everything we tried was fresh and delicious! My favorites were the wontons with chili oil and the pork bao buns. 😊“

“Well I had my usual Chinese craving that always comes at least once a month. It had been a couple days before I could finally get the time to go get some Chinese. Luckily, for me when this time came I was door dashing in U-City, because I came across this hidden gem. The restaurant itself looks very deceiving, but I had read the reviews so I knew better. I ordered the dinner special broccoli chicken and was surprised that I could add Lo Mein instead of the traditional rice as a side. It was $3 more but well worth it. It also came with a spring roll which was the only thing that I wasn't impressed with. The whole meal cost just under $14 which was well worth it. I also will say this, I ordered carry out and walked quite away back to my car. When I did get back to my car, and went to eat my food, it was so hot that if I hadn't tested it first, it would have given me 3rd degree burns in my mouth. No joke! I have no idea how they had gotten my food so hot, but it was by far the hottest food I've ever experienced and it took quite awhile for it to cool down enough to even begin to eat it. With all this said, this by far was the best Chinese food I've ever eaten! And I've eaten at a lot of different Chinese restaurants. I believe the gravy the food was prepared in was what made the difference and off the chain delicious. I would highly recommend eating here often and yes as soon as I'm anywhere near U-City I'll be stopping in to get more food from here. 5 stars all day long!“

“Everything was good“

“I just moved nearby and was looking for a new Chinese food spot. St. Louis is hit and miss on Chinese food, with mostly a lot of misses. I was super happy that the food was terrific at New China! I had the Kung Pao chicken lunch special. Came with fried rice and an egg roll. It was the best I've had in the area. The crab rangoon and fried dumplings were on point. 10/10, I'll be back!“

“Hosts were attentive and frequently refilled our water cups. Everything was freshly made and hot despite it was a later dinner for us. Some food was bland (mushrooms) until combined the sauce from another dish. Buffet was reasonably priced at 12.95. We'll definitely be returning!“

“All the best food spots in STL are in questionable locations! ?? I grew up eating Ho's, so I'm definitely biased, but it's definitely a great spot for Asian food! The staff is sassy, but for good reason. They have to deal with the characters in my old neighborhood. Great food here if you are in the area!“

“Tiny spring rolls, with thin paper!STILL GOT THE FREE VESS @ the hood chinamen. Popular in the neighborhood. Quick service. No call-in orders, no waiting area, no heat. *update what did I find in Family Dollar down the street? Do you see it.“

“The food was great. Order prepared quickly each time I've visited. Been back about 4 times in a single week. Pricing is a bit higher than other suitable Chinese restaurants but Food has Great and my orders were exactly what I asked for and expected.

I highly recommend.

How ever, there is no guarantee to get a call in order answered.“

“I'm from St Louis, and we have a very different kind of Chinese food here. And this one is very good and not in the best area but guess what. The Food is GREAT ?. All the old school Chinese taste ? The St Paul was really good. Wow ?“

“ordered today. great food and quick service. everything was correct and love it. definitely will order again“

“I was visiting from out of town this past weekend and my boyfriend bought me a St Paul omg it was so freaking good. I will be back. Wish I could have some shipped to me.“

“Facebook is asking me "What do you recommend about China Garden on Gravois?" Well, I could - and truthfully should, write a whole essay on this subject. However I will not do so since I will instead be enjoying everything about my repeated excellent experiences at China Garden on Gravois. I will leave you with this note - China Garden on Gravois is stupendous and makes all other Chinese take outs look like imitators.“

“Tonight our pickup order was about 20 min late. Apparently there was a new cook doing the dumplings. We just want the new cook to know that you may have had a tough night, but your dumplings were excellent. Thanks!“

“Best St. Paul sandwich I've found so far. Sometimes a little salty, but still the best I've had. I've tried other food from here, but mainly come for the St. Paul. You can call in a pickup order, which seems to be what most people do. Or you can come wait while your order is being prepared. They have a dining room but rarely have I seen anyone eating there... the wait is usually something like 15 minutes. You ring a bell through the plastic partitioned ordering window when you arrive and someone will come out of the kitchen (if no one is already there) to take your order. This place isn't fancy by any means, and the tables seem like they could use a cleaning. Of note are the plants up front which are seemingly ancient. Lastly, not the St. Paul, but I went in late on a rainy night and had the best egg drop soup I've ever had. It may be because I was the only customer at the time, but I will definitely be back to try for that experience again.

Wheelchair accessibility: A step or two up into restaurant, so probably not wheelchair accessible.“

“Although they are slow it's so good!“

“In the majority of these restaurant/Chinese....what's to be expected but you either call your order in before you go, or order when you get there. The services are not like a real restaurant...hell you can even go to the restrooms in the majority of them. The food is cooked to order and usually be reasonably-priced and good. I can't say even say if they are rude...I have never been treated rude here, your service is simple "How can I help you "give you a total, you pay. You either get a number or they call out what your order number, you get your bag, check it and go. The majority of the places you stand and wait on your food and go. I can say...in the City for me the food is better....at the majority of the all Chinese restaurants. Everyone has their favorite one to go too...but by far the City's restaurants are better.“

“They have good food I like the fact that they don't put egg in their food by me being a vegetarian I get plain fried rice or vegetable fried rice I really appreciate that they don't use egg that's the biggest thing about me going to other places so with that being said I stick with King chop suey and not only that they are very nice.“

“Best Chinese food hands down I live in the county and I drive here once a month sometimes twice to get me and the family the Saint Paul,the best crab Rangoon, fried chicken wings, I get shrimp fried rice with ham extra eggs and yes bean sprouts Omg so good I also love there funnel cakes!!?“

“Food here was great. The Parathas are very good and the Chicken Tikka Masala was great too. The staff is helpful and kind. Would recommend people to try it out. Although I’m on vacation I would definitely come back here if I’m in Missouri“

“South St. Louis' best Chinese Food. It's take out only, which is fine by me. If you ask anyone on the Southside who has the best Chinese, this is the place they'll refer you to. Everything is freshly made. And is so good. Best shrimp fried rice ever!!“

“The best beef fried rice around. Fair prices and great service.“

“I ordered Harold's Chinese food yesterday and was well pleased! Everything was delicious. I ordered the hot braised chicken platter with shrimp fried rice, and crab ragoon. The crab ragoon was sweet, but not too sweet and had a nice balance. I also ordered vegetable egg rolls which were very tasty and crispy. I was very pleased and will definitely eat there again!“

“Best Chinese food in Saint Louis. Best St. Pauls, rice, Rangoons, and eggrolls. Call ahead of time, it won't take that long. When you driving by, don't blink or you'll miss it. Parking "lot" is super small, just get in when you can. And it's one of the last places that still give you a free drink when you spend over $10!! Only thing is the hot wings. They're dry, no sauce. Not my thing, but the wings were still cool.“

“I just wanted to take a moment this time to share how well this location is ran.. I am a regular customer that comes quite often, and every time the food is good and the service is quick and easy. Not to mention their chicken fried rice is made better than any other China king I have ever been to! I use to ask for a spoon with my rice, but now they know it before I even ask- you have my service for life, lol. It’s the little things sometimes!“

“Love the food good people we where going to grand wok not good the rice yellow n when u say not to dark it's dry A1 is the best thank u“

“No dine in option is available only take out. The hot braised chicken boneless was well seasoned and plenty of sauce noted. I asked for rice without white onion and it was still white onion in the rice. The crab ragoon the way that it was wrapped was the lazy way. It was just folded in half like a triangle. It was good though and and you saw the imitiation crab meat in it.

Dietary restrictions: They do have vegetarian options“

“Me and my husband love this place! The food is so good and not greasy. The woman who runs this place is so friendly. Every time we order from here we look forward to seeing her too! You can tell she cares so much about the quality of her food and the happiness of her customers.“

“This is the place to go for Chinese food in STL. Delicious food, polite A+ customer service, clean place, and an eccentric menu with many options. A word of advice though. NEVER tell the cooks that they didn’t make the General TSOs spicy enough. They’ll put some spice in it next time That’ll make you forget your name and where you live.“

“Excellent Chinese cuisine! I'm very particular in the taste of Chinese food, so I'm always weary of trying new places. I tried Yang a few years ago, and have yet to eat Chinese food anywhere else. The two owners do a marvelous job at meeting demand of customers. Highly recommend?“

“Large portion of combination plate. Ordered to-go general two’s chicken. Large crispy chicken pieces, broccoli, good sauce but not spicy (ordered regular, it said spicy). White rice is basic good white rice, not jasmine. Crab ragoon only sweet cream cheese filling, placed in same container as food, causes them to get softer. Still tastes very good. Great price for portion of food! Placed order online. Easy.

Parking: Drive thru window on side for take out orders. Small inside no seating, take out is best.“

“Definitely a whole in the wall dive joint with no place for inside dining. Take cash because they don’t accept credit cards. This was the best place I have had for Chinese food. I got a St. Paul sandwich with Chicken Wings and Veggie Fried Rice. This place hits different from any other Chinese restaurants. Everything is seasoned well with lots of flavor.I will definitely return when I come back to visit St. Louis!“

“Facebook is asking me "What do you recommend about China Garden on Gravois?" Well, I could - and truthfully should, write a whole essay on this subject. However I will not do so since I will instead be enjoying everything about my repeated excellent experiences at China Garden on Gravois. I will leave you with this note - China Garden on Gravois is stupendous and makes all other Chinese take outs look like imitators.“

“Love their food. Mr. Lee is very friendly and the food is cooked to Order. The one thing I appreciate about Egg Roll kitchen is that Lee will not only make menu items but if you have a special request, he'll see to it that your needs are met with your Order.“

“Really enjoyed their combination plate. Everything was so tasty!!! And their Hot and Sour soup is even delicious the next day.“

“Special Lo Mein to any fried rice, Duck and noodle and St.Paul sandwiches I've all tried and loved it. But the crab racoon and egg rolls always keeps me coming back. I've tried many chinese restaurants and nothing else compares. People from out of town love stl "chinamen" and they all go here. I've been going here since I was a kid and I'm 22 now. I will go until the doors cloSe. Henry will hook it up“

“Ive passed this place sooooo many years..heart of the hood. finally tried it..Had a plain st Paul. It was tasty. Got a half order of plain fried rice..good.. got a side of gravy that was meh.. it was more like teriyaki sauce..it was about 815 and they close at 9p. Next time I will go early in the day when its a bit fresher.. also.. the half order box is the size of a whole order and the whole order box is way bigger than the norm.“

“They have the best food around me. They sold their original space for a club that literally closed down after 2 months. The serivice is quick. They get you in they get you out. I like that. I don't want to start up a conversation when I just want my food.“

“I come here often. Out of everything else similar on telegraph they win my business time and again. We've tried other places but always come back. You know how every places crab Rangoon (aka "goons") is somewhat different? Well not here! Their goons taste exactly what I think of when you think goons. Reasonably fast, and usually busy. They rarely make mistakes. Couldn't ask for more, will return again... and again... and you get the point. Try the Mongolian beef "chef kiss".“

“Mighty tasty stuff & very reasonable“

“i grew up in that neighborhood and was practically raised on John's cuisine. it was typical for the owner/cashier to act rudely, though promptly, from behind the plexiglass. nobody questioned that expedient because the neighborhood was extremely rough. i'm talking ppl getting shot inside the little waiting/dining area. it seemed at the time that if John had been polite, ppl would hang out inside or in front to control the traffic in what was and still is a hotspot for gang clashes and drug dealing and robberies. every street over there, floy, mimika, era, etc, hosted rival gangs. and though most on one side of w. florissant purported to be Six-0 Crips (blue and yellow), the other side where John's restaurant was had every other type of gang and gang color, including those insufferable ones wearing blue and orange. a lot of ppl have been taken out right there on the premises over the years. as far as the food: it's standard STL chop suey, which stands out in the USA for some reason as tastier than chop sueys in other towns - and i've sampled them in 20 cities, with Philly coming in a close second and Chicago registering as third in that top tier. Los Angeles and NYC might as well shut down their operations. something is missing or otherwise went wrong.“

“I have been to many Chinese food places in STL. I have to say they are on of the best. They are across the street from the old schnucks on grand. Love their rice. Their st Paul's are on point.their prices are on par with other places. They don't take long to get orders out. Now that I'm talking about it, I might go there again today....“

“This place has been here since I can remember. My Uncle worked at the wonder bread factory down the street from here over 40 years ago. They are inventing new ways of making Asian cuisine here with the Ultimate Saint Paul sandwich, and the infamous 'Happy Box'. Your favorite rice, or noodles, topped with saint paul patty, and asian gravy. Sprinkle a little red pepper, and you've got street food like your over there buying it. The neighborhood has changed a bit, but for the most part its still the best fried rice I've ever had in the states?????“

“I didn't like the atmosphere due to the Fact it was lots of junkies around the front of the store. But the food is Amazing their chicken lo mein and st.paul was Delicious my first time being here was amazing , come here if you love chinamen like me“

“Very good“

“I'd give this place a 10, if I could. The lady who took my order held the door open on the way out, also offered to take my food to the car(on crutches after a knee surgery). Got home and the food was still steaming hot, tasted really fresh to. Will be my new go to spot.“

“My favorite 💯🥇✡️hood Rice 🍚 House since the 90s on hollows

Vegetarian options: You can find something but if you don’t like fried food try there duck and noodles 🍜

Parking: Get in where you fit in

Kid-friendliness: Safe place for children great place to meet old solid friend

Wheelchair accessibility: You just have to have a nice person to open the door for you.“

“Yummy, yummy, yummy. I got a small fried rice and side order of duck, and my friend got the special fried rice (all the meat options). Our food was hot and only took about 10 minutes to be done. I have been craving their duck fried rice since I left. We'll be back!“

“This was my first time eating here and when I say that I had idea that their food was awesome and seasoned perfectly i made thistle my personal Chinese place and I will not eat no other than this one i mean what I say I don't live anywhere near this place so you know that I really like it when I will travel to get there food“
