50 Best Chinese Restaurants in St. Louis

“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.“

“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“

“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 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.“

“I’ve been here a few times and I like it. I tried the St Paul sandwich because it’s a St Louis thing and I would get that again, but the Singapore noodles are my favorite so far. It has a spicy curry flavor and I like the combination of proteins in it.“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

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

“One of the best in town. My favorite is Tomato soup base (imo, it's better than Haidilao) . If you want stir fry then go with no.7 . I have been here countless time and the quality is always the same. Highly recommended it to anyone who loves hot pot and authentic 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.“

“I have eaten at YET Bun twice and both times the food was delicious. I had been meaning to try tgis places for years and I finally got a chance to do so. The gravy is dark and very favorable. The rice is fried to perfection and the portions are decent. Look rice is not super cheap like it use to be back in 2007, but if I am going to spend almost $10 on rice it better be good like this location!! While the atmosphere is a bit sketchy with the location it's still worth the drive!“

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

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

“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.“

“ordered today. great food and quick service. everything was correct and love it. definitely will order again“

“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!!?“

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

“This restaurant appears to have been a drive in at some point so pulling into the parking lot is kind of cool. Once you get out of your car, you go inside and order your food. They were doing a brisk carry out business, obviously they were very well known in the neighborhood. We chose to eat in one of the booths. Yes, it wouldn't hurt if someone did a bit of cleaning around the windows, but we weren't too put off and really enjoyed our meals. Would return.“

“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“

“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. ★★★★☆“

“Tonight our pickup order was about 20 min late. Apparently there was a new cook doing the dumplings. We just want the new cook to know that you may have had a tough night, but your dumplings were excellent. Thanks!“

“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!“

“They have good food I like the fact that they don't put egg in their food by me being a vegetarian I get plain fried rice or vegetable fried rice I really appreciate that they don't use egg that's the biggest thing about me going to other places so with that being said I stick with King chop suey and not only that they are very nice.“

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

“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“

“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! 🍲🥢“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴“

“The best Chinese food I’ve had in years. I always get sweet and sour chicken combo.🔥. Wish they had a second menu hung in the waiting area, Away from the window. I always wanna try something new but I walk to the window to look at the menu and they are immediately there like I know what to i get all ready . That’s why I’ve only gotten the one thing.. no update menu available online. But besides that, the food is fantastic. Hot and fresh. Plus they have all flavors of Faygo and Vess!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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 usually get a happy box and it's 😋 yummy if u like St Paul's it's the pattie with gravy and fried rice... so it serves for both...it was loaded with meat also...crab Rangoon are delish and hot wings hit too..every now n then I get a kabob... variety is my thing.“

“Best Chinese food in the surrounding metro area. Hands down the best crab Rangoon I’ve ever had and the Chicken Szechuan is always on point. It is a little pricy, but we don’t mind paying a little extra for quality! Will be ordering tonight!“

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

“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 “

“Great food. I recommend the low mein, fried rice, egg rolls and egg fu young . Their duck fried rice is their specialty. Food is served hot and fresh. There was a man outside the door pan handling and it made us uncomfortable. We waited inside but there were no chairs. It's located is a plain old building.“

“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.

“Found this place on door dash and decided to give it a try. Or food arrived on time and was nice and hot, proteins are decent sizes and cooked perfectly, they followed the requests made on out order, were very generous with sauce and utensils. The food was DELICIOUS! Crab Rangoons aren’t too sweet and have lots of crab, lol main was delicious as well as the fried rice. The general Taos, sesame, sweat and sour and orange chicken dishes were all a hit with it family and kids. Will absolutely order again!“

“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!“

“Please ignore atmosphere and ambience because this place doesn’t have that….I kid you not, the BEST Chinese food especially the fried rice. Jon’s been going strong for over 40 years and you better know your order when you come in or call or NEXT.“

“I'm disabled and as some know it take a minute to do things,when I called I was outside, I didn't even ask, and the young man asked if I would like to order and have it bought out???? Ok this has only happened at the QT, that's it, I ordered and they bought it out, I tipped also..the food was great, the mom that bought it out....RESPECT look at the condiments!!!,the food was piping hot I had to take my teeth out because..whewww.. Great food, Great service..I wish I could go 10 stars....thank you“

“I have been coming here for about 10 years now. It is consistent and always very good. I have tried probably 75% of the menu and have always been impressed. The portions are large and the prices are cheap. The staff are all incredibly friendly and this is a family run restaurant.“

“I have been to many Chinese food places in STL. I have to say they are on of the best. They are across the street from the old schnucks on grand. Love their rice. Their st Paul's are on point.their prices are on par with other places. They don't take long to get orders out. Now that I'm talking about it, I might go there again today....“

“Really enjoyed their combination plate. Everything was so tasty!!! And their Hot and Sour soup is even delicious the next day.“

“My family has been coming here since before I can remember. The food is always excellent and has been very consistent for decades! I live out of state now, but I have to come back to get a St. Paul, the special fried rice, and egg foo young every time I'm home! Will always come back and recommend to others!“

“No dine in option is available only take out. The hot braised chicken boneless was well seasoned and plenty of sauce noted. I asked for rice without white onion and it was still white onion in the rice. The crab ragoon the way that it was wrapped was the lazy way. It was just folded in half like a triangle. It was good though and and you saw the imitiation crab meat in it.
