Chinese Restaurants near Saint Charles

“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 staff is friendly, they have reasonable prices and they have the best General Tsos Chicken in the state!“

“I absolutely love this place. It reminds me of my childhood. I love an old school feel, nothing fancy just like my childhood Food was great. Staff was friendly. I found my new favorite Chinese buffet. Suggestion maybe some music playing other than that I love it❤️❤️“

“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“

“Out of the P.F. Chang's locations I have frequented, I can say that this store is the best by miles. Kylee and Caliegh showed why they are in thier management positions! These two are rock stars! We came in for a quick appetizer but were convinced to to stay longer than planned after the butternut squash dumplings were dropped at the table next to us. These ladies made our evening! Highly recommended!!“

“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!“

“fast. good. and cheap“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“PROS: Good and inexpensive food. Friendly service. Convenient, right off of the highway. Online ordering option.

CONS: Doesn’t take calls after 8PM even though they close about an hour later. Somewhat small containers of rice included with meals.“

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

“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“

“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!!“

“My husband and I havent been here in a long while because the salt and pepper prongs were taken off the menu a bit back, recently I got word they were back, so here we are, got here and got greeted by Elijah who got us started with delicious drinks, got our food and had a small issue with it butt Maddie came over and corrected it right away, very professional and prompt. Definitely will put pf changs st. Charles back into our dinner rotation 👌🏽“

“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.“

“Fair prices٫ very nice employees٫ And delicious food“

“Amazing food, clean, and great service.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food is good, usually I order online and I come pick it up. From what I have already tried the food is very good. Customer service can be worked on a bit. Usually always dead when I walk in so never have to wait in a long line. Overall good place“

“We have tried several local Chinese restaurants and this one is by far the best. Not overly greasy or weird flavors like other places we have tried. The pork egg rolls, crab Rangoon, beef teriyaki sticks and chicken fried rice are the best!“

“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.“

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

“Amazing food and great service!“

“Love this place. Clean kitchen. You can see them cook right behind the counter. My NEW FAVORITE Chinese place by far. And it is right down the street from my house. Only down side is no delivery but thats ok bc they are so close and delicious also bc they are open on sunday.“

“So this is place the boys like to eat. And since they are VERY picky. We ate here. We all got fried rice. I ordered crab ragoon. The rice was good. The crab ragoon was better. The boys usually wont eat them but they did that night. So 10 out of 10.“

“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.“

“Favorite spot for American Chinese food for weekday dinners. Particularly find of the shrimp Egg Foo Young, but they have a number of traditional Americanized dishes that appeal to the Western pallette.

Parking: Strip plaza parking, open to public patrons“

“Best Chinese food ever! and owned by a great local family“

“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.“

“It was a takeout order. We ordered the shrimp broccoli and shrimp lo mein, and both dishes were fantastic! The portions were very generous, and each bowl had a good amount of shrimp. The shrimp and broccoli sauce was especially delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Overall, a great experience with tasty food and great value. We’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Good food, I got the Mei Fun chicken noodles. If you like heavily seasoned things, I don't recommend this dish. But I enjoyed it, it was a nice chicken-broth flavor. There's no description on the menu, so if I had to tell you what veggies are in it I would say celery, white onion, mushrooms, and some other veggie that I didn't recognize but was yummy. Definitely would've been better if there was more sauce or broth, but nonetheless good. Crab rangoons are sweet but not too sweet. Sweet and sour was good, came with the bright red sweet and sour sauce on the side. I would go back again ?“

“My favorite Chinese place in town. It's not fancy - there are only three tables at this little hole in the wall. But the food is tremendous. Good serving sizes, reasonable prices, and the consistency is locked in. Try this place, you will love it.“

“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!“

“Not sure why some say the service here is bad? I’ve been coming here going on over 18 years and even with the new owners I have ALWAYS experienced the BEST Service, food and prices than any where else and I’ve eaten Chinese food all over the USA and Europe. Even better than San Francisco where I grew up. In my opinion anyone who has a bad experience is probably not to easily pleased wherever they go or with ever whom they inner act with. Yes they get busy and sometimes mistakes can be made. Be kind and Be understanding life is more beautiful and precious this way and more peaceful. 😉👌💕😃👍“

“Better than many Chinese takeouts I’ve had, but I’m halfway convinced some of the “chicken” was actually seitan 😂 SO that said the chicken was really good and tender and juicy. So much so that i couldn’t believe all of it was really chicken lol“

“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!“

“Old-school Chinese restaurants, some of the staff have limited English, but although the service is not friendly, it is efficient and the restaurant is clean. The menu is loaded with pictures so if you have difficulty deciphering what the food items are, you can take a peek. The appetizers are delicious, including the chicken feet, salt and pepper squid and the entrée sole salt and pepper deep-fried is good too. My only complaint is that if the prices on the menu or not would appear on your bill! My dinner ended up being over $70 with tip is I was charged more than the mini price. I paid the bill this time but if I do go back, I will call them out on it.“
