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.“

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

“I highly recommend everyone to come to this restaurant, the service is very good!“

“This spot is quite possibly the best Chinese restaurant in St Louis. I’ve ordered 4 different times, different dishes, and the food is always amazing.

They get very busy on the weekends. On Sundays, if the wait time isn’t 10-15 minutes, add 10-15 minutes to whatever they tell you it is. If they say 30-45 minutes, it’s more like 45-60 minutes.

Amazing spot, they’ll always have my business, but they gotta get better at giving customers accurate wait times.“

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

“Self service restaurant, very affordable, nice taste
They have a lot of broth to choose from, but they have dry stir fry as well.

Anything you pick is delicious.

Place is kinda small but have enough seats.

Rice and water are free for dine in“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Food is fabulous... Parking is a bit questionable. Street parking or get stuck in the parking lot. This place has been at the corner of Goodfellow and Nat Bridge for years and years... And is always busy!! Arguably one of the best places to get Chinese food!!“

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

“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!!?“

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

“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.“

“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. ★★★★☆“

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

“Ok im not from St Louis but I really wanted to try rethink place because Mr Chimetime reviewed it and said it was good and guess what it was. The fried rice was a 10 outta 10 the St Paul needed more seasoning. The place looks a little sketchy but it was worth it. A lot of people were ordering the duck im try that next time.“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍴🍴🍴🍴🍴“

“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! 🍲🥢“

“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.“

“I can’t go all the way to south city so I searched until I found this place and it’s my go to Chinese food place now, love everything I’ve tried so far! The egg drop soup is amazing. Clean place and friendly staff.“

“Checked out New China and had a good experience. The food was served hot, flavorful, and the portions were generous enough to leave everyone satisfied.

The restaurant has a simple, casual atmosphere, and the service was quick and friendly. Nice spot for a convenient Chinese takeout or dine-in meal“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Solid chop suey spot in the county. They are still serving up what I’m starting to think of as soul Chinese food. The box of rice we grew up on. It’s hot, reasonably priced, salty, and good. I hate how dirty the outside is and I wish they gave us a better experience but as long as the rice is good and the shrimp are clean, I’ll be back.“

“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.

“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 food here was really good. Would say excellent... but they forgot my fish plate. When I went back to get it ... it was ok ... but not what I was expecting. The atmosphere is horrible. You will have to fight through tweaker to get your food as they are posted up in the resteraunt, outside the door ... and they will walk up to your car.“

“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.“

“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“

“I enjoy every lunch special I’ve ever gotten from here! Their wonton soup is Really Good!!! Everything is phenomenal I hope on day they expand and have a buffet with a Really enjoyable restaurant maybe some type of flowing pond waterfall inside it’s a nice place Great Quality Food for lunch or dinner
If you are handicap I bet if you called when you pulled up they would bring you your food to your car!!! It’s worth the experience“

“Always delightful service snd good food.“

“Yall better stop sleeping on Young's!! I'm always skeptical about trying new Chinese Food, but this place is FIREEEE!! The rice, noodles, crab ragoon and egg rolls!! They have really good customer service too, all the staff I've encountered have always been in a good mood, funny, very kind & really chill!“

“This is the office's favorite place to get Chinese!! Food is the best, and the service is even better!!“

“Now Im telling you straight. This place is 10 of 5 stars. We was late getting into town. They stayed open for us. We had pork lo mein and beef pepper steak. With 2 egg rolls. O my gosh. Everything was perfect and so hot. Chaulked full of huge veggies. It was very well portioned. The inter was so nice. Best ever food. We're definitely going back. Don pass this one up.“

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

“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....“

“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“

“This is a hole in the wall Chinese place. It is an old gas station. The waiting area is a very uninviting, and somewhat prison like atmosphere. Honestly, some of the patrons are threatening and sketchy. I am not a fan of the neighborhood, but it is close to the VA, Powell Hall, and the Fox theater.
I got the special fried rice half order“

“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.
