41 Best Chinese Restaurants near Ballwin

“Delicious comfort food! 😋“

“Oh my gosh this is my favorite pho spot it is very inexpensive especially for how much food you get. They definitely don’t scam you on the meat and broth is so so so good I feel like just get big hug when I eat this also I feel like the broth gets better every time.I personally recommend the steak pho but if you getting to go or just particular about texture of the meat get the flang on the side so when you plate it you then put the meat it so It’s not over cooked. 10/10 recommend“

“Love the Pho here!“

“Came here a while back and was recommended this restaurant. I did an online order and got a bunch of food to celebrate my partners birthday. I started off ordering appetizers like Crab Rangoons and Fried Pot Stickers. Then got a quart of Egg Drop Soup, Fried Rice, Pork Fried Rice, Vegetable Fried Rice and White Rice. An order of Lo Mein, Beef Lo Mein, Chicken Lo Mein, and 2 Vegetable Lo Mein. For the main dishes I ordered Beef with Broccoli, Orange Chicken, 2 General Tso's Chicken, Shrimp with Cashew. The employees were very nice and even help me carry the food out. I really liked the Crab Rangoons and Egg Drop Soup. But everything else was really tasty as well. Cannot go wrong here and I really recommend this restaurant.“

“We always get our food to go so I can't say much about the atmosphere. The food is exactly what you want when you think of getting Chinese takeout. The Crab Rangoon is better than anywhere else we've tried. We love it and won't go anywhere else!“

“NO vegetables in Shrimp St. Paul sandwich. Sweet & Sour Shrimp was 1 container of plain white rice, NO vegetables anywhere, the "shrimp" (2/3 plain fried breading & 1/3 shrimp) was NOT cooked in sweet & sour sauce, and packed separately. Quality is now abominable.“

“We were very disappointed that the sauce which came with the steamed dumplings appetizer has been changed significantly. Is way too spicy. Even the meat on the Mongolian Beef was not as tasty. Also, we used to be able to get sweet and sour pork even though not on menu, but now can't. Whoever changed the menu's and recipes should reconsider to avoid reduction in business. Thanks.“

“Good food, kind of expensive. It's worth it for the place itself (clean, good decor) and was quick too. One dish is enough for one person (I was afraid it'd be too little). They also have good vegetarian options. Anyways, I'd reccomend the eggplant and dumplings!!!“

“Super friendly and delicious food!!! Been looking for awhile for my go to take out place- I found it!“

“I got the steak bowl with rice, chicken spring rolls, and banana Boba. all of it was so good. the bowl was so flavorful. I will definitely have to come back soon!!“

“First of all, this is the closest thing to home food.
I don't understand why people gave bad reviews, they are so nice, my food always comes out less than 10 mins.

First best is the Mongolian Beef, and you'll have to try the dumpling, and Lo Mein when you're feeling it.“

“The mixed vegetables delight is truly a delight to eat! Is my very favorite dish and oh so.healthy too“

“The weather has changed my plans today. I went in search of a coffee house and a sandwich but was lured away by this really nice looking China Wok restaurant.

I’ve beat the lunch rush (or just missed it more likely) and the place has only a few couples inside. But the Wok is clean and cool and the waiter seems in a good mood ;)

I ordered the combo mix veggies and rice with a side clip of sour soup. The soup was great! The veggies mix plate was hot and surprisingly very fresh. I don’t get easily impressed by veggies as most restaurants (more in St. Louis and Han out here in Pacific) throw frozen substitutions in. No - this was extremely pleasantly o chew - nice and crisp - but temp hot!

I give this place 5 of 5 stars for the chill atmosphere, very attentive waiter, and the impressive food. Keep up the good work China Wok. I’ll bring the kids next time I’m in the area.“

“Amazing food, clean, and great service.“

“The sautéed broccoli is perfection. Tastes just the same as it did when I ate it in China. 🤤 My kids love the sesame chicken and chicken lo mein. It’s our go to everytime for delivery. The owner is also a very sweet woman.“

“All Chinese restaurants in St. Louis are what I call fake Chinese food. However, I like to judge them by how they make their Singapore Mei fun which is what I always order. Well this one is delicious! Mei fun means rice noodles and Singapore Mei fun has all the meats including shrimp chicken beef and Chinese bbq pork in a slightly spicy yellow curry sauce. I give 5 star also for friendliness!“

“I will go to no other place for Chinese. The owner is the most politest person in the world.“

“Called and went in to order within 20 mins of them closing. Not only were they super friendly. The food was great, all prepared fresh and did not wait for very long at all. I will be ordering from this place for all my future orders. Thank you all very much... It even all is given to you to carry out in sturdy reusable shopping bags!!!“

“This is the best Chinese place I've ever eaten at there not hesitant with portions and they are extremely respectful. It's clearly shown in their cooking how much care and love there is in this food. Please come here if you have a chance!“

“For what it is it’s pretty great. It’s a local family owned restaurant. They are always very nice. The prices are great, and the crab Rangoon are killer. I wouldn’t expect the best plate you have had, that’s tough in Stl. We have a great Chinese food scene here, but this place is a solid go to if you are in the area.

Wheelchair accessibility: I“

“I don't know what some of the people reviewing expected, but as far as this area goes, this is the best chinese food I have been able to find. Crab rangoon and lo mein are top tier. Szechuan Beef and General Tso's are really good as well. Skewers and spring rolls were meh but other than that I really like the quality of food.“

“Excellent food and great service. We will definately go back again.“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“Perfect for takeout. Customer service was kind and concise, perfect for a quick and easy order. The food is the best Chinese I've ever had. Delicious Orange Chicken and Chicken Lo Mein. They gave fortune cookies with the meal, and we got some almond cookies as well that were great. Would recommend and will go again!“

“We ordered takeout last night, for the first time since the new owners had their grand opening. We ordered several dishes for sharing, cashew chicken, chicken lo mein, beef pepper steak, chicken pad Thai, chicken fried rice, Rangoon, egg rolls, and hot/sour soup. Everything was delicious!“

“Best Chinese food in the St. Louis area..... I have been going there for years.“

“It was my first visit and the produce was the best!“

“Husband and wife run this place alone. Excellent service, food, and prices!“

“Best Chinese Food in West County!!! Everything is fantastic!! Our family will not go anywhere else!! Their sushi is amazing too!!“

“We had a lot of questions, they answered each one with kindness. Food was great!“

“After trying several other places in the area, we finally decided to give this place a try as it's super close...SO GLAD WE DID. It is absolutely our new go-to place. My 14yo even requested it for a birthday dinner with friends...we ordered 9 combination dinners with additional stuff and the whole order was perfect. Everyone loved it and there are plenty of leftovers. We love that they have the combination dinners...entree, rice/noodle choice and either crab Rangoon or egg roll for a great price.“

“My first stop when I come in town from Florida. The food is the best Chinese food in the country. Not exaggerating. The chicken broccoli with garlic sauce is my favorite. The hot and sour soup is also the best I have ever had. The shrimp dishes are also delicious. The food is always very fresh tasting and cooked perfectly -- crisp vegetables & tender meat. The owner is so nice. I highly recommend Hunan Empress if you want a great meal with large portions and very reasonable prices. Simply put -- THE BEST!“

“Came in during a busy lunch rush and placed an in-person to go order.

Got the Orange Chicken combo and a half order of beef lo mein-- $15 altogether for a lot of food

Orange chicken is well cooked and flavorful, with a very orange-forward sauce that goes well with the rice too. Also was surprised to find extra chicken under my rice for a pretty generous lunch portion at a great value-4stars

Egg Fried rice is fine, nothing special but also got the combination rice not a standalone full order. Could probably use a bit of onion to hold more flavor- 3.5 stars

Crab rangoons are very good, sweet and pretty cream cheesey. Well fried with a tasty wonton too - 4.5 stars

Beef lo mein is fine, a bit greasy without enough flavor to be really worth it, and the beef is a little too chewy- 3 stars

They were really busy for the lunch rush, so I can give them a little slack for that but still not ideal to wait 20 minutes for a to go order (on food that's already prepared) all of the staff were very nice though, seemingly family-run- - 4 stars for service

All in all a pretty solid strip-mall stop for local (americanized) Chinese food. The staff were certainly overloaded with online delivery or pickup orders, I saw about 10 of those get worked on while waiting for mine to get filled. Will likely try again, but will order ahead online.“

“I don’t know why people say the new owners don’t speak English. They do. Also they’re very polite. 5 stars all day. Just ate an egg roll. Absolutely delicious. Now I feel like a jerk because I started talking to them like they don’t speak English. They do!“

“First visit here in quite some time. It’s 8:00 Friday night. I had a dine in experience. Many of the food items looked tired and not abundant. Same story as most places. Not enough staff. Only me counter person. Two people preparing food. One person cleaning.If you have a pickup order you are low priority. They stand and wait while walk ins are handled first.My food was below average. I only came here as my first choice restaurant’s dining room is closed.“

“I just discovered the beef Lo mein here and it’s the best in town! I have ordered it a few times this week (consistency), has been GREAT every time! Not a huge fan of the pork egg roll but the spring one is good! Plus the lady upfront seemed very pleasant!“

“This place had a new energy to it tonight. Idk what it was , new crew, new mgr. Who knows. It was busy, lots of eat in customers and call in orders and still we were out of there in 15 min. I was thoroughly impressed. I am not a constant patron but compared to the old place.... Even 4mos ago, huge difference in my little snapshot of time. Thank you. You guys did fantastic !“

“The food here is delicious and it comes out quickly. They have great vegan options too.
The service was the best! Gina was so patient and helpful while I asked a lot of questions and tried to order with two chaotic children running around. My 3 year old dropped his fortune cookie on the floor and she already had two more in her hand for him before I could even ask. :)“

“I really enjoyed the food - it was cooked to perfection, with balanced flavors that hit the mark. The beef bulgogi was seasoned beautifully, though I would’ve loved a bit more green onion for extra freshness. The rice-to-protein ratio was just right, and the portion sizes were generous. You could easily make two meals out of it.

The crispy pan-fried dukbokki had a lovely sesame flavor, with a perfectly chewy interior and a crisp exterior, making them an excellent snack or appetizer. I also appreciated the thoughtful packaging - the perforated box kept them from getting soggy, which was a great touch. The side of kimchi was delicious, adding just the right amount of tang and spice.

I ordered lunch takeout, which took about 40 minutes to prepare. No complaints—it’s a busy time, and the food is absolutely worth the wait. Can’t wait to try more from their menu!“

“It was a takeout order. We ordered the shrimp broccoli and shrimp lo mein, and both dishes were fantastic! The portions were very generous, and each bowl had a good amount of shrimp. The shrimp and broccoli sauce was especially delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Overall, a great experience with tasty food and great value. We’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Wok Express has become my local go to. I usually go with the (Springfield) Fried Cashew Chicken and gravy or Sesame Chicken with fried rice.The crab Rangoon are old school where they are more savory than sweet. I do wish they had a St. Paul Sandwich. Give this place a try.“
