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!“

“First time patron. Receptuonist escorted me to a booth.ask for drink order. Afterwards I proceeded to self serve buffet. Food was fresh & desirable. Large selection on lunch buffett. Lunch price was reasonable.
My only minus is the restaurant appeared as if the interior was partially closed to the public. Inside boxes and other unused items were unsightly visible to customers who were dining in..thise un sightly items and the entire area It should have been out of sight from customers, especially those of us who were dining inside the 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.“

“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.“

“fast. good. and cheap“

“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“

“Max was so polite and thoughtful! He helped us choose what to order and what spice level suited us. It was phenomenal! The flavors were not lacking and it was a treat to experience another culture’s delicious cuisine. Thank you for being so attentive and providing us with an amazing dining experience. We will be back!“

“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!“

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

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

“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 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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

““101 Asian Cuisine”
The food was exceptional and always consistent! Being Asian and knowing the true taste, is was is necessary to give a TRUE review….

Service is genuine and respectful!

Environment is warming and delightful! If you haven’t been here before, I highly recommend the “Shrimp with Eggplant” / the Crab Rangoon is unique and the best / Wonton Soup is perfect as well!

A must try to have everything on point in 1 Chinese Restaurant …..🙏“

“We've been going to Lucky China for some 15 years now (sheesh ya blink right...)

This place has always been our go-to for Chinese take out. The people are very friendly (though often busy/on the move) and they always nail our order (including changes to the standard menu). Over the summer we shifted from placing phone orders to their online ordering system which has worked out really well (allows you to leave notes if you need to customize a food item).

The food quality has always been great and even more so consistent even after all this time. We primarily do different variations of beef or chicken entrees, spring/egg rolls, crab rangoon, soups, chicken sticks, steamed dumplings, white/fried rices (pork/chicken), and the occasional lo mein or mei fun dishes.

Hope nothing but continued success for them, its one of those places that would be difficult if not impossible to find an alternative to.“

“I made a mistake by failing to order a half order instead of a full order and didn’t realize until I went to pay. I was on a very tight budget tonight and after the counter lady gave me the price is when I realized I failed to order a half order. She was kind enough to go ahead and charge me just the half order even though I received a full order. I feel like Customer service isn’t what it used to be in the food industry, but she was kind and hospitable.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food and great service!“

“Had the great pleasure of working next door to China Kitchen, It was my go to spot for lunch and I would alternate between the orange chicken and General Tzo chicken with crab Rangoon. They get the food out in a pretty reasonable time and it’s great for taking 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!!

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

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

“Looks like they expanded the dining space and it really brightens up the atmosphere. They provide a great portion of food for the price. Their Mapo Tofu dish is spicy but absolutely perfect. As well as the house rice, delicious 😋“

“This is absolutely the best restaurant I’ve ever been to, the family that operates this restaurant is incredible. Their food is incredible. Always warms my heart to get exquisite food and know I’m helping a fantastic family. The food is so delicious. I always get their general toe’s chicken, eggrolls, and sometimes the crab Rangoon‘s and oh my goodness it is always so good. I wish I could give more stars, but they only let me give five. I will look forward to my next visit every time I had the last! So so so tasty and good! Recommend you visit tooo!“

“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.“

“**UPDATE - someone must have read the below review because things have improved!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! We love China Star!!!

I have been a faithful customer for years but the last 3 months or so the food has been TERRIBLE!!!!!

The owners seem to never be around anymore and the quality is suffering!!! Tonight I got my usual St Paul sandwich, they used bread and butter pickles rather than the usual hamburger pickles and it tastes disgusting. Last order my fried rice was burnt. The time before that my chicken was burnt.

I used to tip and every once in awhile the staff would give us a thank you in return like a bottle of soda or an extra crab rangoon. Needless to say they don't do that since the owners stopped working in house, and after the last three trips I'll never tip again if I even decide to go back.

Please look at my online order history! We usually order from your store every Sunday. I know how your food is supposed to taste, and something is definitely wrong!!!

By the way, I would have loved to speak to the owners any other way than a public Google review but there's no way to get a hold of them. I've even tried to message them on Facebook but no one monitors their page.

PS- please clean up that disgusting fish tank behind the counter. It's covered in mildew, grime and mold... not very appetizing.“

“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!“

“First time trying… We orders 16th of June near 8:00 and they were AMAZING! We ordered a fair amount and it was ready sooner than any other food place you can go to. Let alone, great prices, and hot food. They workers were so sweet and kind , and the atmosphere was amazing. So beutiful to sit and talk in. Love you guys! Will be back.“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing Korean street food spot tucked inside the grocery store! I ordered the beef bulgogi and dduk bokki, both were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The store was very nice and staff was friendly and welcoming, and it was convenient to grab a few groceries while I was there. Such a great experience, will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“I have no idea why there are so many one-star reviews for this place. It's a fast food Chinese joint in a grocery store, and for what it is, it's terrific. The food is far better than any of Panda Express', and the people behind the counter are wonderful.

The people giving one-star reviews are mental. Were they expecting Maxi Noodle from a grocery store counter??“
