49 Best Chinese Restaurants near Manchester

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

“I just had a great experience at this location. The food is always good, it's always fast. But this particular experience went above and beyond. You can tell the store was busy, but the manager was very kind and great about communicating with his other team members. I can see. He was working on scheduling, appropriate break times and making sure that everybody was covered. The team was happy, and he was also happy. Great job Zay. Somebody give this guy a raise“

“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.“

“Always good, always plenty to eat.“

“We hadn't been to this restaurant in a while because the last time wasn't good at all. The place seemed unkept and old. The food was not good. What a turnaround! The menu was new and the food came out hot, and was everything tasted wonderful. Will be going back more often again.“

“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.“

“Authentic yet accessible Chinese cuisine expertly prepared from fresh ingredients. Cate Zone is not like any other Chinese restaurant we've been to in St. Louis. Everything we've tried has been delicious. Try the Black Pepper Beef, the Pineapple Chicken and the Crispy Fish!“

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

“Thank you Xièxiè nǐ! for one of the best customer service experiences since being back in the area! Your smiles and words shone during ordering, and when you came out to bring me our food! The egg dishes, such as St. Paul's and Egg Food Young, seem to contain double the eggs compared to other restaurants. I will be back to try the Teriyaki Chicken as you requested! Also, I love your presentation with the egg foo young! It keeps the egg warmer!“

“Best food and customer service ever Please give this restaurant a try youll love it.“

“First time visiting and absolutely agree with the 5-star rating average!

We ordered a bunch of stuff (see pics) and loved almost all.

First to hit the table were the pumpkin sambosas. I've had a good number of sambosas and samosas in my time. These were among the best. Also interesting was the dusting of powdered sugar on what was otherwise a savory dish. It worked very well. This was my best bite of the night.

Next up: spring rolls. I was a fan but the others weren't.

Somewhere in there we decided to order a pot of their house special tea. It was really flavorful and the aroma turned heads at other tables. The price seemed a bit steep (no pun intended) but it was definitely worth the price. Strongly recommend trying the special tea.

I think the lamb kabobs were next. Minimum order of three and there were three of us so it made sense. At least until the wife declared she didn't want hers. I split them with the kid and we both really enjoyed the meat and the onions dusted with that red spice blend (not sumac) with a name I can't remember. Lamb was seasoned nicely and tender. Important to note is the portion is in line with the price. If you want to eat lamb for your meal, you'll want to order a bunch of the little skewers.

Laghman beef in brown sauce was next. Really tasty and full of great stuff. Hand-stretched noodles topped with a beef & mushroom mixture, matchstick carrots & cucumbers. Great flavor even for someone who picks mushrooms out of dishes, so not noticeable.

Final dish to hit the table was their beef yoghurt wrap. Bread resembled a pita and was filled with slices of beef, onions, tomatoes, lettuce and their yogurt sauce. Beef was tender and beautifully seasoned and the vegetables were fresh. Beef was really interesting! I kid you not, my first impression was Big Mac. That said, a significantly upgraded Big Mac!

Dessert was a pecan chocolate baklava. It was tasty and appeared to be house-made. One recommendation would be to let it sit for a while to temper. I suspect a fair amount of flavor was suppressed by serving it refrigerator cold.

Overall a really spectacular dinner. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.“

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

“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!“

“The food was OK. I kind of felt that I got ripped when I ordered a whole order of pork fried rice. It came to a little bitty small plastic container. I was very upset with that because a couple weeks prior I ordered a half order of fried rice and it pretty much came in the same plastic container. I like my rice to come in boxes like old-fashioned way. But the food was very good though I still come back“

“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!“

“My husband and I have been exclusively ordering take out from Here for 40 years. Rhe food is always great and they are so accommodating that when we moved slightly out of their delivery area in 98 they continued to delivery to us anyway. Love this place! Ordering tonight!“

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

“BEST CHINESE FOOD IN THE AREA!! My wife and I love this place.. she's a huge fan of their crab rangoon. I like that the owner is actually involved and is always there, taking orders, answering the phones, whatever needs to be done. Never had a bad experience here... when we eat Chinese, we eat at the china wok, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up!“

“In a nutshell... Jenny the hoatess/server was a Rockstar. She had a party of approx 25 automotive salespeople show up an hour before closing. She was a 1 person dynamo. Never anything but a positive disposition on her end. Never an excuse or complaint from her... Just a smile.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I frequently dine out at places like Pei Wei but Pei Wei has become my new favorite. That is due in no small part to Jacinta, one of the employees. They were having a bit of a mid afternoon rush and she was acting as the cashier, server, bus person and just about everything else associated with front of house in a restaurant. She really hustled and took care of everyone efficiently and with a smile. Honestly if I wasn’t retired and was still in business I would try to steal her away. I’ve eaten at Pei Wei for lunch the last three days and I don’t see that trend stopping anytime soon.“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“Sunny China on was excellent. We ordered the beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, and shrimp with mixed vegetables. Everything was fresh, especially the veggies, and the food was flavorful and well cooked. Portions were generous, pricing was reasonable, and we’ll definitely be back.“

“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!!“

“I have been stopping at China in Bombay every time I pass through the St. Louis area for years, and it continues to be a reliable favorite.

This visit was no exception. The beef pho was outstanding. The broth was deeply flavorful, hearty, and comforting, and the portion size was enormous. Easily one of the highlights of the meal and something I would go out of my way to order again.

I also tried the cashew shrimp and the Szechuan chicken sticks. While I personally would have preferred the shrimp fried rather than stir fried, and the chicken sticks actually served on a stick, both dishes were still very tasty and well seasoned. The flavors were bold and satisfying, even if they were slightly different from what I expected.

The food quality here is consistently excellent, and the flavors feel authentic rather than watered down. A major plus for me is that the food is halal, which makes this a dependable stop every time I am in the area.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The space itself is small, but that is well known, and most people opt for takeout. Even so, dining in was still a pleasant experience.

China in Bombay remains a must stop for me whenever I am passing through St. Louis. Great food, generous portions, authentic flavors, and friendly service. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

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

“Just got back from Vegas late and looking for a snack. My wife is very healthy conscious and wanted vegetables. After checking out several restaurants that were already closed, we checked out Valley Wok’s menu. She ordered the vegetarian moo shu with tofu. I ordered the steamed dumplings and shrimp and pork hunan style. Everything was delicious and enough food left over for lunch. We will definitely put this on our regular take out list.“

“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“

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

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

“The Hunan joint down Westglen Farms has gone from not great to absolute trash. Yen Ching is long gone. Panda Express is over-sweetened garbarge food with zero flavor. I had completely forgotten we had Panda hidden away off 109. We ordered online, expecting a disappointment, but instead we got extremely solid, very delicious food. The garlic beef and General Tso's were excellent, the fried rice on point, the dumplings delicious, and the shrimp egg roll was perfection. This will be our go-to Chinese order, for sure.“

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

“Delicious comfort food! 😋“

“I have only gotten delivery. The time was fast and the food was the best Chinese food I have gotten in St. Louis to date. The chicken was very fresh and well prepared. I called ahead and asked if they use day old chicken and the reply was no. Fresh every time.
A question you should always ask before ordering every time.“

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

“Finally a good Chinese place in St. Louis. It's still a basic, run of the mill American Chinese place, but it's good. I've tried a lot of places and none of them have been very good. We will make this our go to place for a Chinese dinner on a Friday night takeout.“

“Everyone thinks their food is superb but the wonderful lady at Liu Shun was not exaggerating. She only said the food was very good: it's actually excellent! The hospitality was way better than what I'd normally expect from a walk-in kind of restaurant. This visit was not planned: I got a flat tire and had to wait for roadside assistance. Next visit will be on purpose. 😊“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years! We have tried many items and everything is fantastic. They have the best hot and sour soup in west county. The owner is always so nice when we come in and the place is very clean. We can’t say enough good things about this gem!“

“Decent place to get some Chinese food for the Creve Coeur area. I usually stick with the chicken fried rice here, the other chicken menu items can get a bit gelatin. Nonetheless this place has decent portions sizes for the prices and service is generally quick. Best part I like is for this area, if you want to order online you can customize your dishes, for example I like extra chicken, egg and onion with my fried rice. They are the only ones around that can convenient offer that option when ordering on your phone. Love it“

“This is the office's favorite place to get Chinese!! Food is the best, and the service is even better!!“

“Moving my reviews over from Yelp. This was a favorite for a long time! Started going there when it was for the fact that everything on the menu could be had as a $5 lunch special. Big food too.

2017 Revision:

I've decided it's time to bump them up a notch. Why? A few reasons...

1. They are always hellaciously busy and that means the food is always fresh. Always!
2. Their food is consistently better than any other similar place I've tried in the STL area.
3. I really respect the amount of business they do. Yes, that's also my #1 reason but the fact is that if you go in for lunch and spend maybe 30-minutes in the place you'll probably see them push out 50+ meals in that time with an unknown number going out for delivery as well. That's just pretty damn impressive for a little Chinese place.

They are what they are...but I respect that a little more after trying other similar places. They really are at the top of their segment.

Original 2015:

Sometimes a three star review is an indication that a place is doing just fine but that their chosen niche just doesn't warrant a higher rating. That is exactly the case with this place. They are a high-volume, counter-service place pumping out massive quantities of Americanized Chinese food. Therein lies the rub...I cannot really stick more than three stars on such a place.

I had the General Tsao chicken. It was served hot (no shit...it was lunchtime and they were slammed) and near my upper limit for spiciness at lunch. Less than 10 minutes between ordering and receipt plus everything was obviously freshly cooked.

A good portion of crispy fried chunks of chicken in a thick sauce with exactly two pieces of broccoli tossed on top as an afterthought. Add a couple of run of the mill crab rangoons and a pile of fried rice in the styrofoam clamshell and it was a pretty good value at less than $6.

I will certainly be back but not because I will be looking for a gourmet experience. Nope, I'll be back when I want a pile of steaming hot Americanized Chinese food for way less than ten bucks...and sometimes that's just fine.“

“Love the Pho here!“

“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!“

“I came here for the first time as recommended by a friend. I am absolutely in love with this play and order from here two days in a row. I now have a fav spot for when I visit St. Louis. Also the young African American lady that greeted me with absolutely amazing, enthusiastic,and made my experience truly inviting.“

“Tony's K Food is my favorite restaurant ever. I'm so happy I found them. They're literally a hole in a wall inside of a grocery store that is equally as amazing. I have not tried a single menu item that I don't love. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Any time I can recommend this place, I always 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.“

“First time to visit Dynastt Buffet.

We were greeted and seated promptly. The staff seemed very attentive to the buffet and dining room area, continuously cleaning and keeping the areas orderly.

The food appeared fresh and had good flavors. The food trays were well supplied.

I verbalized a concern, and the staff addressed it immediately. Also, the cups of sherbet and ice cream lacked flavor.

Overall, it was a positive experience. We plan to return.“
