50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Maryland Heights

“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!!“

“We've been going here for almost 2 years now. It's our go to for Chinese food and we've never had a bad experience. The food is always hot and delicious and super affordable, the service is always quick and friendly. I will always highly recommend Wok Express.“

“My husband and I absolutely love this place! The food is consistently delicious and authentic, and we always make it a point to order and pick up from here.

It’s interesting how some reviews focus on things other than the food. For example, Debby Leonard gave it one star, mentioning the restrooms and the building, but she didn’t say a word about the food itself.

It makes you wonder—did she go for the food or the ambiance? If the food is what you’re after, that should be the focus of the review!“

“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“

“I had three different non-alcoholic fruit beverages Blackberry, Lychee and passionfruit. Each of them was unique and delectable. Our server Byron was attentive, caring, and informative. The only downside in my opinion was each of the dishes that we got was a little too heavy on the sweet side. When ordering garlic noodles you expect to get garlic and noodles what the predominant flavor being garlic. I look forward to coming back here in the future! It was one of the more pleasant dining experiences I have had in the greater St Louis area in a while for a national chain restaurant.“

“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.“

“I LOVE this location of Cate Zone. It is beautiful and much bigger than the U City location. They adjust the spice level and have fast service for both take out and sit down meals. Portions are large, especially the noodle soups. Several vegetarian options available.
Strongly recommend“

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

“Self service restaurant, very affordable, nice taste
They have a lot of broth to choose from, but they have dry stir fry as well.

Anything you pick is delicious.

Place is kinda small but have enough seats.

Rice and water are free for dine in“

“I had one night in St Louis after traveling to Springfield,IL for work. When I say the food that I ate in STL was better than my week in IL(Chicago excluded obvs)!

All anybody from STL talks about is their dagger on Chinese food! All this time i definitely doubted it since I'm from North Jersey and have access to the best Chinese in America. However STL is doing Chinese like NYC and Jersey used to do in the 90s!

I got shrimp fried rice only and ive been thinking about that rice for days! They gave a healthy amount of shrimp and they weren't mini shrimp that you barely recognize as shrimp. The egg,beansprouts, scallions..everything was great!

But the true deciding moment was that the rice was cooked perfectly and no added sauce was needed! 10/10

If youre looking for the STL Chinese food people brag about. Try this spot!“

“Ordered 7 items in the lunch menu. It was delicious. Best crab Rangoon and soup.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The food was great!! Healthy portions. I chose the sweet and sour chicken over noodles. It had the perfect combination of sweetness without going overboard. The noodles came on a separate dish with just enough liquid without soaking them. My drink was Expresso mojito without the vodka. It was Delicious. Our waiter was awesome!! Truly a great Mother's day experience with a group of 8 and two little ones.“

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

“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!“

“The restaurant was extremely quiet as I was the only one there. The food and service were wonderful, pleasant and fast! The atmosphere was a good vibe but, they had fans running which is fine but, on a warm day like today air would've been better. I will be back with my family!!“

“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.“

“Best Chinese in North County.“

“Great service and the food is amazing“

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

“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 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.“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“This is my Go-to place. I don’t enjoy “St. Louis style Chinamen” so I opt for the more commercial style fast food Chinese restaurants. They always have the best Fried rice, wings, and crab Rangoons. Very friendly and accommodating if I want extra pork in my rice.“

“First time going to this Chinese food restaurant. Someone told me it existed in st. Charles, so I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the pork fried rice and Saint Paul sandwich. So far the best fried rice and st. Paul I've tasted this side of the river. Normally you would have to go to north county to get rice as good as this.“

“Very upscale and beautiful interior restaurant. Clean and peaceful feeling. Crab rangoon are stuffed full and very flavorful
They use round lo mein noodles instead of the flat ones and their sauce is good but not as seasoned as others I've tried. May be good for someone who is sensitive to strong seasoning.
Service was polite and super quick. We would eat there again.“

“We went a couple hours before they closed so it was not crowded at all but the service was really good. The server was patient with it being my first time there. The food was plentiful; well worth the price. They have many options for sauce so you can make your own flavor boosters and it was really clean. Would go again.“

“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.“

“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 “

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

“Amazing food and great service!“

“Yall better stop sleeping on Young's!! I'm always skeptical about trying new Chinese Food, but this place is FIREEEE!! The rice, noodles, crab ragoon and egg rolls!! They have really good customer service too, all the staff I've encountered have always been in a good mood, funny, very kind & really chill!“

“We ordered Beef fried rice with no onions, crab ragoon, sweet and sour pork w/ pineapple, and sweet and sour soup. Did not know they were new owners. We did carryout for many years with old owners! Great food though!“

“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.“

“Crab rangoon, fried rice and egg rolls are incredible and very well priced! My husband and I both ate for $18 with plenty of leftovers! Highly recommend if you are in the STL area. I only wish we could have eaten inside because we were staying in a hotel 30 mins away so we ate in our car. So be ready to take it to go!“

“China King is my absolute favorite place for Chinese food!!! They are always so kind and quick.. I have never had a single issue with their service... or their food.

I always get their chicken on-a-stick and an order of their crab rangoon... it NEVER disappoints!! Other places may also have chicken on-a-stick... but not like this. Always moist, juicy, and crispy... perfection on a stick!!

Their crab rangoon are some of the best St. Louis has to offer!! Hot, creamy, perfectly crispy...just .... divine. Partnered with their hot and thick house red sauce... not some watered-down sad excuse for sauce...hard to find much better especially for the price...

Great hours and plenty of space to dine in... absolutely worth it!!

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“
