50 Best Chinese Restaurants in St. Louis

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“After muchhh research we landed on Yet Bun for our taste of St Louis fried rice and it didn’t disappoint. We called our order in but I think because it was so large they didn’t start (or complete) the order until we arrived …. likely because they only take cash. I’d recommend having your money ready to pay in hand or your pocket (as opposed to a purse or wallet). Another customer had told us of an instance of someone going to pay and someone ran in the store and snatched their money out of their hand. I’d recommend verifying your order total as well because we almost got charged twice for our sodas but the other employee missed was written on the bag.

I had a whole special fried rice (no ham and added green peppers) and a beef St Paul (no mayo). The rice was everything I was hoping it’d be and the red pepper and sauce combinations really set it off. The St Paul honestly was great without the mayo but I did get a side of gravy to dip it in and the combo was perfect. Because I got a whole I had leftovers for days so this is well worth the value. This is a must stop for me the next time I visit!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!?“

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

“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.“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“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?????“

“Special Lo Mein to any fried rice, Duck and noodle and St.Paul sandwiches I've all tried and loved it. But the crab racoon and egg rolls always keeps me coming back. I've tried many chinese restaurants and nothing else compares. People from out of town love stl "chinamen" and they all go here. I've been going here since I was a kid and I'm 22 now. I will go until the doors cloSe. Henry will hook it up“

“Holy cow the price was good. My family of 4 paid $33 and had enough food for 2 meals each. The rangoons, egg rolls, and fried rice are as good as I've ever had. I'd never had a St. Paul's sandwich before, so Chong Wah's was my first. It was delicious, huge, and only $5! The General Tso's was slightly less flavorful than I was expecting (my wife loved it though), but nothing a complementary little soy sauce and chili seasoning couldn't fix. The texture of the chicken was amazing too, super crispy.

Plan on carrying out whatever you order. The lobby is really small and full of stuff, so there's not much room to sit and eat. But if you're looking for carryout, this place is top notch.“

“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 “

“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.“

“I ordered Harold's Chinese food yesterday and was well pleased! Everything was delicious. I ordered the hot braised chicken platter with shrimp fried rice, and crab ragoon. The crab ragoon was sweet, but not too sweet and had a nice balance. I also ordered vegetable egg rolls which were very tasty and crispy. I was very pleased and will definitely eat there again!“

“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.“

“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.
