50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Berkeley

“The service that I received was A1. The food was hot, fresh, and tasty. The St. Paul was probably the best I've ever had. The ingredients seemed very fresh and they sprinkled a little salt on top of the St. Paul patty which was a pleasant surprise for my taste buds. The hot braised chicken is good. The crab rangoon is really good. The fried rice isn't anything to brag about in my opinion though it's not bad by any means. It's a mix between the cities dark fried rice and the county's typical light colored rice. I'd probably opt for steamed white rice next time. My only complaint is that there was a man sitting inside asking everyone for money. He wasn't rude by any means but it made me uncomfortable. With all that said, I'd still go back because the food was really good overall.“

“Upon first glance at the restaurant store front, one may assume Cate Zone to be a simple dime a dozen Chinese takeout, however don't be fooled. Upon entry, one will be greeted by friendly and attentive staff and see a slew of patrons enjoying traditional cuisine in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The quality of the food is fantastic and the spice and seasonings of the provided dishes are consistent, and really showcase the cuisinier here care about the culinary tastes of their dishes. Perfect for a lunch date or small dinner with the family. Plan for a wait during peak hours due to patron volumes, however the food and experience are truly worth a wait.“

“Food was absolutely worth the wait and the bubble tea was awesome! My friends Jeff and Katie brought my husband and I for the first time and I enjoyed watching a gentleman make noodles through the window! We will be back! So tasty and fun!“

“很棒的台式料理 牛肉麵 魯肉飯 還有薑母鴨和鹽酥雞 滿足了我們的味蕾“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome! I got one of their combo meals for dinner. It was perfect, the food came in a solid plastic take out container with fried rice on the side. It came with 2 crab rangoons and a thing of sweet and sour soup. There was so much food it was enough for 2 meals, and only $8! The lady at the front was very nice and the food was ready quickly. I'll definitely be returning!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“Everyone is so friendly they all have smiles and they will go the extra mile to make their delicious food if you have never been please go in and try. They are very clean the whole restaurant shines sorry this is long but they need a 5 rating not a 3.8 I love my Hunan Restaurant in Hazelwood thank you all.

“A review mostly about their durian cake: Took a chance and was quite pleased by the outcome. Real durian chunks mixed with durian cream in the center layer with typical not-to-sweet whipped cream outer layer and topping with some fruits. The cake consistency was similar to your typical castella or sponge cake. Very bouncy and light.

Amazingly quick turnaround. I called right when they opened and they had it ready for pick up same day at 4 pm.

They also offer taro fruit cake but the manager recommends calling at least a day or two prior for preparation. Will have to try that one next to relive my childhood taro cake memories :)

Chinese bbq favorites: roast duck, roast pork, chicken feet

Pastry favorites: sponge cake, pork floss (dried pork) sponge cake, and sesame red bean ball“

“Their food is not only delicious, but you can tell theyve put a lot of effort in preperation and cleanliness.Me and my significant other were running errands and decided to stop by and give them a shot after seeing their ad we got in the mail.We both really enjoyed their food. their crab rangoons are home made and more on the savory side as opposed to sweet. 5/5!“

“Nice service and the food was great. Not a big menu....we had it all. Nothing dissapointed.“

“Mostly great food. The lo mein, St Paul sandwiches, fried rice and eggs rolls are great!! The only thing I would advise against is the boneless hot braised chicken... because it is not real hot braised chicken. Instead it is breaded in beer batter and smothered in BBQ or a ketchup type sauce. So all in all stick to the classics you'll be very happy!“

“Everything! I haven’t had a bad experience yet and I’ve been here several times.“

“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.“

“Best Chinese in North County.“

“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.“

“I am a first time customer. The outside looks a little dingy, but don't let that keep you from trying it. In reading the reviews there are a handful of people that have had issues, but many have had a good experience. I had to do a double-take on the lunch menu prices. They are at pre-pandemic levels. In other words, this place is incredibly reasonable. I had the Kung Pao Chicken lunch to go. It was ready in minutes. The egg roll was crispy and hot. For basically $7+tax, try to find a freshly prepared lunch meal anywhere for that. I will be back. I highly recommend this place.“

“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!!?“

“Amazing food and great service!“

“Always delicious food and great service.“

“The ‘Hot Eggplant’ is great! Perfectly lightly crispy and seasoned just right. Fabulous!“

“Food is pretty good. My go to dishes are veg egg foo young, s&s chicken, potstickers. Efy not bad but their gravy needs work. Also, if you get veg fried rice or something you have to also ask for egg in it, & you get charged for EVERY LITTLE THING. They charged me pork efy, minus pork, no minus charge, then charged for veggies. Same w/ the rice. They did similar thing on the lomain we ordered. Crazy. The food is good, s&s chicken definitely tasty. I'd go back.“

“Love the food, love the friendly service. if this is your first time ordering take your time. there’s a lot to choose from. he will help you with whatever you need. if it is your second time he will more than likely remember your order, and always remembers his customers will always go back“

“Had there food for first time a order of shrimp fried rice and order beef fried rice and Crab Ragoon omg it was very good cant believe ive been passing by this place coming home everyday and just Trying 4 1/2 Star Ratings only because Parking jack up.“

“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!“

“Amazing food, clean, and great service.“

“By far the best vegan food in St. Louis. There’s something here for everyone. I am vegan and my guy is not and we both love it here. I am Obsessed with the vegan beef bahn mi and vegan cheese rolls. Seriously, we eat here multiple times a month and have been doing so since I was introduced to it by a coworker.“

“Great STL Chinese food. One of my favorite places.

Vegetarian options: This is your typical Chinese restaurant where you can modify what you want in your order. You can get vegetable fried rice. You can specify what vegetables you want in there and what you don't. You can get vegetable curry, you just tell them you don't want any meat in your curry. I would just note that it's probably cooked on the same thing that the meat is cooked on, so if that is a problem I would suggest you go somewhere else.“

“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 love it, 10/10 recommend . Just remeber to bring cash.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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?“

“Great service and the food is amazing“

“they are always been friendly to me an my family ,inspire of what others went through they been good to us“

“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.“

“To be honest I moved away about 15 years ago and one off first foods that I wanted as foodie was some chop suey. To come bravo Abe you guess made my taste buds melt thank you so much! The food was great! The prices are amazing! Man I dream about your food. Thank you for still being open!“

“~ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Hadn't been in a few years, was in the area, and the Fish/Rice Combination Plate called my name. STILL THE BOMB. Kinda Pricey, but always good. STAY PACKED. I travelled nearly 40 miles just for this dish. Now the atmosphere...that's another story. Unless you are from here or familiar with the area, it may seem a little bit shady~“

“Every visit I think the food gets better!“

“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’m from STL but moved to Nashville. Everytime I come home I GOTTA go to China moon. The crab Rangoon never fails, sweet, hot, and abundant. The rice is really good too. I’m mainly a St. Paul person so that’s what I usually get and absolutely love it! And I got more of my family switching to them as well!“

“They are one of my favorite Chinese restaurants i ordered the General Tso's Chicken, Chicken lo mein, plain fried rice and fried wantons. As always, we had leftovers for days. They have the dark fried rice that is seasoned perfectly. They just might make the best wantons that I've had and the egg rolls are HUGE. The inside is clean with a couple of tables, so I guess you could dine-in, but I've never seen anyone do so.

Dietary restrictions: They will prepare each dish as you wish if they are able.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible by wheelchair.“

“They have great service it's best to call in ahead of time and go pick it up they have the best special fried rice they actually put stuff in it not like a lot of the other places that charge you a lot of money and give you nothing they're very generous great “
