Chinese Restaurants near Ellisville

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

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

“Love the option for placing the order online to pick up in store. I with the food was fresh EVERY time. We've been a few times when it was sub par, as with any other fast food establishments, hit & miss sometimes. Glad to have this in Ellisville!“

“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!!!“

“Quick, friendly service! We started with Shumai and Soup dumplings and both were delicious. The Miso hotpot was to die for as well as the Crispy seafood noodle. And to top it off we got the Brown sugar milk tea shaved ice. This place definitely lifted our spirits and got us out of the winter blues.“

“Nothing fancy, just went for the meat and potatoes of it to test the water here (plain fried rice and 2 egg rolls). You can tell the fried rice wasn't cooked in years old oil like many other establishments, and the egg rolls tasted more like fresh veggies than anything. Again, nothing fancy, but for the amount of rice they gave me in a properly resealable container, and for the price, I'll give it 5 stars. Friendly and attentive staff at the front counter.“

“The food was really good. This is the first time we have ever eaten there and we were quite impressed and will definitely be going back. We live in Pacific and there is no comparison to Chinese restaurant in pacific. This food was excellent. The crab rangoon was absolutely delicious. The pork fried rice was amazing. I know we did carry out but the service was excellent. Very friendly.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely wonderful dinner. Very delicious hot, tasty. Love the gentle spices in my sesame chicken. Enjoyed steamed dumplings for an appetizer.
Enjoyed a generous pour of a glass of wine
Great price and they gave me free soup also!
I’ll be back“

“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“

“Delicious comfort food! 😋“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

“A hidden gem of tasty takeout! Food comes out fast and fresh while being reasonably priced. The chicken fried rice has onions, sprouts, and large pieces of chicken. Chicken and broccoli has a mild brown sauce with large chicken slices, broccoli, and carrots. Sweet and Sour chicken and honey chicken both have white meat chicken pieces, breaded and fried, with most of piece being actual chicken! Egg rolls and teriyaki chicken sticks are also recommended!“

“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!“

“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 !“

“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.“
