50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Maplewood

“I live in Atlanta now & the Chinese food pales in comparison to my hometown of St Louis. That said, when I come home I have to have some immediately. This time I happened to get in on Sunday. I was lucky to find one open. I called it in and was there in less than 15 minutes. The wings were great & piping hot! The vegetable egg foo young and shrimp fried rice had me moaning with pleasure. Whenever I come back home this St Louis Kitchen will be my first stop. The staff was friendly even though it was closing time for them.“

“Outstanding noodles and Bao Bun. Everything we tried was amazing! Worth the trip!“

“Overall great prices and amazing food! I enjoy going there with my friends since a lot of the meals are shareable which makes the experience even better. I will say if you come during a rush hour, you’re most likely going to be added to the waitlist and if I’m correct you usually have to put yourself on the waitlist once you arrive since they don’t really do call-ins. Other than that, this place is truly a must and I enjoy every little thing about this restaurant.“

“This was such a cute little family owned restaurant. While it looked like most people picked up for delivery, you can eat in and they give you paper plates. We ordered the popcorn chicken which had fried basil in it and it was so unexpected and delicious! My littles loved the stir fry noodles. Also unexpected was what they called Chicken Chili stir fry! The pork belly melted in our mouths!! Absolutely delicious. We will be back“

“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.“

“A back alley restaurant with absolutely bussn food! Small and can get crowded quick but the food comes out quick. I had the best lo mein of my life here. The vibe is exactly what you'd expect so you know the food is going to be amazing.“

“This spot is quite possibly the best Chinese restaurant in St Louis. I’ve ordered 4 different times, different dishes, and the food is always amazing.

They get very busy on the weekends. On Sundays, if the wait time isn’t 10-15 minutes, add 10-15 minutes to whatever they tell you it is. If they say 30-45 minutes, it’s more like 45-60 minutes.

Amazing spot, they’ll always have my business, but they gotta get better at giving customers accurate wait times.“

“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.“

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

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“Hosts were attentive and frequently refilled our water cups. Everything was freshly made and hot despite it was a later dinner for us. Some food was bland (mushrooms) until combined the sauce from another dish. Buffet was reasonably priced at 12.95. We'll definitely be returning!“

“Best STL Chinese! Always on point. Extremely kind and friendly staff. My family and I have been loyal customers for over 20 years. They have always remembered us and showed us extreme hospitality. Service is also very quick. Highly recommend“

“Movoc Hot Pot was a whole experience 🔥 I built a custom seafood pot loaded with fresh shrimp, mussels, fish, and veggies in a rich, flavorful broth. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. Fun, interactive dining that’s perfect for date night or pulling up with the crew. Definitely going back.“

“Facebook is asking me "What do you recommend about China Garden on Gravois?" Well, I could - and truthfully should, write a whole essay on this subject. However I will not do so since I will instead be enjoying everything about my repeated excellent experiences at China Garden on Gravois. I will leave you with this note - China Garden on Gravois is stupendous and makes all other Chinese take outs look like imitators.“

“Food is fabulous... Parking is a bit questionable. Street parking or get stuck in the parking lot. This place has been at the corner of Goodfellow and Nat Bridge for years and years... And is always busy!! Arguably one of the best places to get Chinese food!!“

“This review is for the bakery ONLY. Everytime we go to St. Louis, we stop here (We live at the Lake of the Ozarks). The mini custard pies are amazing, try the fried, sesame seed balls which are filled with two different kinds of bean custard, both are delicious.
The yeast buns are stuffed with a variety of sweets and cheeses and are killer. On the right side of the shop as you enter, there are usually a few versions of the Dim Sum they serve next door in the restaurant and they are all DELICIOUS!

I've purchased the Duck & the deep fried pork hanging in the window, several times & it's been legit. We buy half a duck because there's only 3 of us, but plenty. I always order a small order of their rice so we can eat our duck at the hotel.
It can be VERY crowded on the weekends, so come as soon as they open. There's usually only the one lady working the register and dude chopping up the duck & pork, but they're fast. A++++ It's not cheap but it's soooo worth 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!“

“Great food and the owner and her mom are a joy. One of my favorite places for dinner and teas.“

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

“Decided to try a new dish somewhere new to me. This was the best of Chinese options. Small. Unpretentious. Cheap. My entire lunch special was $6.99. I can't remember what I last saw prices like this, and the food was great. A little sweet. A little spicy.“

“Best St. Paul sandwich I've found so far. Sometimes a little salty, but still the best I've had. I've tried other food from here, but mainly come for the St. Paul. You can call in a pickup order, which seems to be what most people do. Or you can come wait while your order is being prepared. They have a dining room but rarely have I seen anyone eating there... the wait is usually something like 15 minutes. You ring a bell through the plastic partitioned ordering window when you arrive and someone will come out of the kitchen (if no one is already there) to take your order. This place isn't fancy by any means, and the tables seem like they could use a cleaning. Of note are the plants up front which are seemingly ancient. Lastly, not the St. Paul, but I went in late on a rainy night and had the best egg drop soup I've ever had. It may be because I was the only customer at the time, but I will definitely be back to try for that experience again.

Wheelchair accessibility: A step or two up into restaurant, so probably not wheelchair accessible.“

“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!!?“

“Although they are slow it's so good!“

“Northside STL staple slingin’ classic Chinese takeout! Happy Box delivers that Gateway comfort punch, crab rangoon droppin’ sweet heat (crunch dialed up next round).$10+ holds strong; wings/fries combo ($11) callin’ my name—Grand Ave ready to wow. Neighborhood anchor, chop suey swagger. ★★★★☆“

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

“just finished take out dinner from lemay wok, had forgotten how good it was.“

“Great service and the food is amazing“

“Food here was great. The Parathas are very good and the Chicken Tikka Masala was great too. The staff is helpful and kind. Would recommend people to try it out. Although I’m on vacation I would definitely come back here if I’m in Missouri“

“Ok im not from St Louis but I really wanted to try rethink place because Mr Chimetime reviewed it and said it was good and guess what it was. The fried rice was a 10 outta 10 the St Paul needed more seasoning. The place looks a little sketchy but it was worth it. A lot of people were ordering the duck im try that next time.“

“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!“

“This is my fourth time in St. Louis, and each time I've randomly ordered Chinese food, which has always been quite ordinary. This time, I ordered from this restaurant, and I think it's the best lo mein I've ever had. The large portion of lo mein was generous, and the noodles were very fresh! The General Tso's chicken was also plentiful and tasted good. If I come to St. Louis again, I will definitely visit this little restaurant again! By the way, the guy at the counter was very friendly and helpful!“

“Best Orange Chicken I’ve ever had in my life! Comes with actual orange slices! 🍊So so good!!! Great portions and great price, like $9 with tax. Big chunks of white chicken, huge scoop of rice, two DELICIOUS crab rangoons. I can’t wait to eat here again! 🍲🥢“

“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!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴“

“I was nervous to go here but I saw the reviews and I decided to give it a try. I got the duck fried rice with gravy and a duck leg.

Duck leg was really good. The rice was good too. The gravy doesn’t taste like regular STL gravy. But I also understand they’re not Chinese either.

Will go back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best beef fried rice around. Fair prices and great service.“

“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“

“I enjoy every lunch special I’ve ever gotten from here! Their wonton soup is Really Good!!! Everything is phenomenal I hope on day they expand and have a buffet with a Really enjoyable restaurant maybe some type of flowing pond waterfall inside it’s a nice place Great Quality Food for lunch or dinner
If you are handicap I bet if you called when you pulled up they would bring you your food to your car!!! It’s worth the experience“

“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 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.“

“Owners are super friendly. Probably the best Chinese food I’ve had!“

“Solid chop suey spot in the county. They are still serving up what I’m starting to think of as soul Chinese food. The box of rice we grew up on. It’s hot, reasonably priced, salty, and good. I hate how dirty the outside is and I wish they gave us a better experience but as long as the rice is good and the shrimp are clean, I’ll be back.“

“I have been ordering vegetable fried noodles 🍜 from here for 3 years now and the noodles are the absolute best I have ever had before!! The noodles never disappoint. Make sure to bring cash also you can park across the street at the dental office and parking is non existent at this location“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“Facebook is asking me "What do you recommend about China Garden on Gravois?" Well, I could - and truthfully should, write a whole essay on this subject. However I will not do so since I will instead be enjoying everything about my repeated excellent experiences at China Garden on Gravois. I will leave you with this note - China Garden on Gravois is stupendous and makes all other Chinese take outs look like imitators.“

“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!!“

“The food here was really good. Would say excellent... but they forgot my fish plate. When I went back to get it ... it was ok ... but not what I was expecting. The atmosphere is horrible. You will have to fight through tweaker to get your food as they are posted up in the resteraunt, outside the door ... and they will walk up to your car.“

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