50 Best Chinese Restaurants in St. Louis

“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 is my favorite go to Chinese restaurant in St Louis!! All the dishes are sooo good, so good that I have to get 2-3 each time and have leftovers. My go to dishes are chicken n broccoli ( healthier), general tsos and the mei fun noodles Singapore style bc it has a little more pazazz with a light curry flavor!! The Mei fun Singapore style is a must try!!“

“The BEST Chinese restaurant in Saint Louis. I cannot stress how clean the restaurant is and how great the food and service are. It is so hard to find a great Chinese sit down restaurant and this is the place. Fresh, delicious and always hot. I recommend this restaurant to everyone that I know. I especially enjoy Linda the server and how nice and intuitive she is to all her customers' needs. I give this place 5 stars. I absolutely love King Doh. The Best in the Midwest. Thank You!“

“This place was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was so clean and organized. The workers were so kind and polite. And the food was so delicious ESPECIALLY the crab Rangoon it was chef’s kiss! Definetly my go to number one top restaurant for Chinese food. I would rate even higher than 5 stars if I could. Would def recommend!!!“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“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“

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

“Found this place on TikTok. Definitely worth the hype. A but run down but that's usually all the good food spots. The fried rice was different from what I've had in the past in a good way. Service was meh but my food was good and hot. Would recommend“

“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!“

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

“Whole duck was delicious. First time visiting and will be back. Didn't have a chance to try anything else because it was the day of thanksgiving and the kitchen was closed to their other items and all I wanted was a whole duck anyway but will go back to try other items of the menu. Duck EXCELLENT!“

“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.“

“4 star when it comes to the special fried rice, they cook the rice very well.

Poor service for real. Always call and someone either irritated or just answers the phone and place you on hold for long periods of time.

Hopefully they get more workers so they won't feel overwhelmed. But service need mad improvement.“

“Food is pretty good. My go to dishes are veg egg foo young, s&s chicken, potstickers. Efy not bad but their gravy needs work. Also, if you get veg fried rice or something you have to also ask for egg in it, & you get charged for EVERY LITTLE THING. They charged me pork efy, minus pork, no minus charge, then charged for veggies. Same w/ the rice. They did similar thing on the lomain we ordered. Crazy. The food is good, s&s chicken definitely tasty. I'd go back.“

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

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

“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!“

“Me and my husband love this place! The food is so good and not greasy. The woman who runs this place is so friendly. Every time we order from here we look forward to seeing her too! You can tell she cares so much about the quality of her food and the happiness of her customers.“

“In the majority of these restaurant/Chinese....what's to be expected but you either call your order in before you go, or order when you get there. The services are not like a real restaurant...hell you can even go to the restrooms in the majority of them. The food is cooked to order and usually be reasonably-priced and good. I can't say even say if they are rude...I have never been treated rude here, your service is simple "How can I help you "give you a total, you pay. You either get a number or they call out what your order number, you get your bag, check it and go. The majority of the places you stand and wait on your food and go. I can say...in the City for me the food is better....at the majority of the all Chinese restaurants. Everyone has their favorite one to go too...but by far the City's restaurants are better.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! ❤️I have been in love with this place over 20 yrs!! I have traveled all over the US and this is the best Chinese restaurant! I If you are looking for fried rice, chicken wings, and mouth watering St Paul sandwich ( it’s fried egg, onion, bean sprouts and your choice of protein on a bed of lettuce with mayo and pickles!!) YUMMY 🤗 Very affordable too! If you live here or passing through STL this place is a must!!“

“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!!?“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love the food good people we where going to grand wok not good the rice yellow n when u say not to dark it's dry A1 is the best thank u“

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

“We at at the restaurant. Everything from the front door to the tables and chairs was sticky. Which was disappointing. The food was brought to us in a timely manner. Everything was delicious! The lady and gentleman behind the counter were very friendly and took good care of us.“

“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“

“This place has been here since I can remember. My Uncle worked at the wonder bread factory down the street from here over 40 years ago. They are inventing new ways of making Asian cuisine here with the Ultimate Saint Paul sandwich, and the infamous 'Happy Box'. Your favorite rice, or noodles, topped with saint paul patty, and asian gravy. Sprinkle a little red pepper, and you've got street food like your over there buying it. The neighborhood has changed a bit, but for the most part its still the best fried rice I've ever had in the states?????“

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

“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.“

“If you are craving great Chinese food, please consider giving this amazing little place a try. I found them during the pandemic and I think for an entire year while delivery was free on DoorDash I ordered them twice a week. The food was that incredible!

During that time I lived with my roommate and this place hooked us up with amazing portion sizes. We loved the Mai Fun noodles and there was always leftovers even between two people with one order! Honestly I still crave those noodles every few months or so, along with the teriyaki chicken kebabs; even with my regular order, there hasn't been a dish I've disliked so far in 4 almost 5 years.

I've never dined inside the establishment, but when I pick up my order it's always clean, the atmosphere is bustling, and the staff is so friendly. I'm not even ordering their food currently, and I didn't just finish a meal. I just noticed a past order and thought about how I needed to tell everyone how great this place is. 10/5 stars.“

“Excellent Chinese cuisine! I'm very particular in the taste of Chinese food, so I'm always weary of trying new places. I tried Yang a few years ago, and have yet to eat Chinese food anywhere else. The two owners do a marvelous job at meeting demand of customers. Highly recommend?“

“Very good and staff is very pleasant! Food is not salty which I look for in a Chinese restaurant. Loved it. Everything was great that we got. Crab Rangoon, egg rolls pork fried rice and orange chicken and cashew stir fried chicken. Can’t wait to go back.“

“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.

Dietary restrictions: They do have vegetarian options“

“Love their food. Mr. Lee is very friendly and the food is cooked to Order. The one thing I appreciate about Egg Roll kitchen is that Lee will not only make menu items but if you have a special request, he'll see to it that your needs are met with your Order.“

“I only order plain fried rice. This time I also ordered gizzards. Umm never again. The gizzards looked like they where cooked in old grease and was not crunchy I will order plain fried rice again but nothing else“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“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.“

“This is the place to go for Chinese food in STL. Delicious food, polite A+ customer service, clean place, and an eccentric menu with many options. A word of advice though. NEVER tell the cooks that they didn’t make the General TSOs spicy enough. They’ll put some spice in it next time That’ll make you forget your name and where you live.“

“They have the best food around me. They sold their original space for a club that literally closed down after 2 months. The serivice is quick. They get you in they get you out. I like that. I don't want to start up a conversation when I just want my food.“

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

“Excellent food and great service. We will definately go back again.“

“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.“

“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 eat here about twice a month and I can tell it's top notch. The owners are so friendly and accommodating to how you want your dish made. All establishments vary in prep so please let them know your preference ahead of time. Cannot say enough good about the crispy fried wings and fried rice dishes. Stop in if you are ever near the airport. You will not be let down!!!“
