13 Best Chinese Restaurants near Barnhart

“Our first time to this restaurant. First, the order taker spoke better English than a lot of places I've ordered from, so she definitely helped me with a few questions, which I appreciated! Pickup time from order was about 20 minutes which was also great and the counter lady was friendly and personable at pickup. The store itself was not well kept, bicycles inside the eating area, kinda cluttered; not really a place you'd want to dine in. The food was good. It was not great but it was not bad and the lunch portions were adequate for the price. The egg rolls had a heavier (I think cabbage) taste than most other places I've had, but again, not terrible. It's decent Chinese food at a decent price. I won't be rushing back for more but I'll probably hit them again in the future since they're close by.“

“This is obviously a local institution - many of the customers when we visited obviously ate at Lam's Garden regularly and were known by the staff. The local police occupied a whole table at lunchtime.The food was OK - the chicken in my General Tso's chicken was a little tough. However the service was most friendly and attentive.The restaurant is a little hard to see from the street - it is located behind other businesses closer to the street and you have to look between buildings to see the restaurant. There is plenty of parking in front of the building - parking spaces on the side of the building are reserved for pickup orders.“

“We have been coming to this location for around a decade. The food is always delicious and fresh! The owner is hilarious! We had one issue in ten years where a sauce was missed and he took care of it right away. We highly recommend Great Peking!“

“We were seated quickly upon arrival. The restaurant itself appeared clean, as did the restroom facilities. The buffet itself was immediately impressive with a very wide selection of foods and in particular a small sampling of sushi rolls stood out in its own section as well as a dessert bar & ice cream cooler. The food was good, our server seemed to be juggling most of the room but did a good job on collecting used plates and topping off our soft drinks, because they prefer not to have customers use the soda fountain directly. Pricing was decent. Around $5 for our little kids, $8 for our bigger kids and $14 for adults + soft drinks charges. For 2 adults and 3 paying kids, we paid about $65 (without tip) for the all you can eat buffet and soft drinks. My wife loves sushi, and seemed satisfied with the quality of their selections in particular. We will likely visit them again in the future.“

“I have only ordered take out. But they are very nice & think it is so cool that they already know who we are and did after only one order. I have to admit we have quite a few orders in a very short AMT. Of time. As we just moved up north from about 40 mins. South and this is seriously the second or third Chinese restaurant that is actually really good & well made EVERY TIME!! SO A BIG TY FOR UR TIME AND HARD WORK TO CREATE AND DELIVER AMAZING FOOD EVERY SINGLE TIME WE HAVE ORDERED! YOU ARE APPRICIATED!!!“

“Best Chinese food! My husband and I recently moved away but we still drive 25 min out of way for this restaurant. I’ve been going here since I was a teenager and I’m 30 now. Food is always delicious and the women who takes orders/helps the customers who first walk in is always really nice and pleasant to deal with!“

“Good take-out chinese. Always quick with take-out orders. Large portions for price. My husband and I usually get things like the sesame chicken, pineapple chicken, general tsos, crab rangoon, and egg roll. The inside of the building is the definition of a "hole in the wall" lol so nothing special there, which is why the atmosphere rating is low.“

“THE BEST CHINESE FOOD in St. Louis is served here! The food takes about 10-15 minutes to make once they take your order which is 15-20 minutes faster than some others we’ve visited. That being said, their combo plates are awesome! I also recommend their spring rolls (light and fluffy) and their almond cookies are 3 for $1.00! Ands taste great! This restaurant is very reasonably priced in spite of inflation. There were three of us who ordered from there and the cost with combo plate, 1 set of 3 cookies, an order of spring rolls (and egg roll that comes with combo plate) was around $13-$14 with tax. If you skip the spring rolls, it would be around $11. Or $10 if only the combo plate. I personally think this restaurant is a diamond that other Chinese food foodies have yet to discover. But I personally will stay a loyal customer because the food is just devine! I ordered beef broccoli. If you like these two foods, I suggest trying it at this restaurant! There is a sauce that permeates the fish even past when the food it gone. Food stays minister and hit to the end! Not spicy at all. Also, their menu puts a hit pepper emoji next to any spicy foods on their menu so no awful surprises for your tongue and taste buds when your order is served. We did take out and even after driving home and unpacking groceries, this food was still hot (temp)! This restaurant is just so on point!“

“Everything was delicious and fresh. It always helps when going to a buffet when there's a lot of people there. It keeps the food moving, and it's a good indicator that it is good. Plus, my body always tells me that Chinese food is or isn't tampered with. I know they all claim not to put in those chemicals that trick your brain. However, those chemicals don't trick my body. As of right now, they aren't putting them in. If they start? We will definitely be running a campaign to let everybody know. As of right now, if you love Chinese, it's the go-to place. Hopefully, they don't ruin it with greed as so many others have that are no more. It's funny how greed can make one destitute.“

“Always good food and good prices, when they are open...Hours vary and not always accurate. I've found they are randomly closed on some days. Dine in is not an option anymore, even 4 years post covid (their dining room is still closed).“

“If you are looking for good Chinese take out in South County check in with China King. All the workers are all polite and very helpful. They do have a few tables - but we (and most people) use them for take out. Everyone in the family really seems to like their crab Rangoon They have large portions for a great family sharing dinner. If you are looking for a healthy choice - I like the Mai Fun Chicken. Really enjoy the rice noodles, vegetables and chicken. I like to add a little spice - hot sauce and soy sauce and mix it up. If fried rice is more your speed - recommend the chicken or beef.“

“Been eating here since it opened in the 90's and the new ownership is bringing this place back to life!! Food is delicious, served hot, fast, and not over priced!! Egg rolls are crispy and flavorful, crab Rangoon is FULL of the good stuff. Chicken and Broccoli (made spicy) was DIVINE, and Double Sautéed Pork was perfection. Tons of food at a great price. So happy to see this establishment doing major justice to the original. So good!!!“

“Um, went in there thinking I was about to come out broke.... But came out with heafty weighted bag of food and money to spare. Prices are outta this world, for sure glad I went with them and not taco bell..I've experienced them via doordashing and though I don't know his name, he usually works solo and during the evenings? For sure waved to him at a gas station once. ?? He's absolutely awesome, definitely a great place of business to visit.“
