This place is a gem. The food is pretty darn good and they give you a lot of it. The prices are very reasonable. They are actually pretty cheap compared to prices in restaurants these days. They stay open pretty late, especially for St Louis, and the service is excellent. I moved into the neighborhood recently. I'm a 3 minute walk from this place. What a great find. They're open until 10:30 which great if you like to eat later like I do. They're very fast as well. I usually pick up, but I ordered delivery a couple of times when I wasn't able to get out, and it was super fast. Also if you live in a 2-mile radius the delivery is free. Deliveries that are farther than this have a pretty low fee also. This is pretty much unheard of these days. Considering most restaurants use a delivery service now, not only do they jack up their prices but you pay an exorbitant service fee. Do not use doordash for this restaurant, you'll do much better letting them deliver it and you'll save a couple bucks too. Also use the menu on their own website. It is more complete than the prices are a bit better than doordash. On one pickup order I didn't check my bag they left out the egg roll. I called them and she they told me that they would include an extra one in my next order. My next order was a delivery because I wasn't physically able to get out. Not only did they give me a replacement egg roll, but they gave me 3 free ones as well. Just great service! Also very considerate. The lady who runs the front is always really busy but always super nice! Great little find in this neighborhood.

Overall it's a good Chinese restaurant with quality food.
- The flavors and dishes are definitely different than what you typically get at most Chinese restaurants. I added salt to mine and it tasted much more normal to me after I did that (moo goo gai pan)
Ex- Triple Protein Fried Rice - it tasted good but had green been peppersand bean sprouts vs reg vegetables, not bad just different than what you might expect.
Portions - portion was large and you were definitely full.

Was always my favorite Chinese place. But since the new owners took over, I’m about to find a different place. Changed the pot sticker sauce which was my favorite. They do give you an option for the old style sauce but it’s still not the same. Just better than the new one. Changed the general tso which has more of a sweet and sour chicken taste and now changed their crab ragoon to sweet. Absolutely hate it. Their crab ragoon used to be the best. Now they are changing everything. It’s probably my last order there unfortunately. I went there for specific items and now I can’t get them. I literally order 6 items and they have changed half of them now. The new owners have ruined a great place.
Good Chinese food. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area. I got the seafood Fried Rice and the St. Paul.

When I say this was the absolute worst Chinese food I have ever had, I'm not joking. I got the General Tsos Chicken special, and the chicken was pure fat and the sauce was so chunky and gloppy. I wanted to throw up. The egg roll and rice were old and tasted like rotten grease. Never, ever again. Horrific experience. Waste of money.

SO GOOD. I love their Chicken Lo Mein - loaded with fresh veggies, big pieces of chicken and a whole container is enough to feed two adults. I typically have leftovers the next day! Delivery is super affordable and always arrives within or before the estimated wait time :) Big Fan

Really to get better quality chicken. Too often it's stringy and rubbery. Get higher quality chicken, charge customers one dollar more, they'll pay it and be happier.
The best ever. Portions are HUGE, meals are always delicious, tender attractive. Well worth the price. When you order small portions don't be surprised when you look at your order and you think they made a mistake, the portions really are huge.
I had not eaten here in years and I decided to look at reviews and they gave high praise over the St. Paul, so I went to get one well yah it was not good very disappointed it was small and flat with no taste, just a tear drop of Mayo a lil piece of lettuce and a little tomato just disgusting I ordered with cheese the cheese was so old and I paid a $1 each for old hard cheese, together it added up to $13 and something this was a waste of money. Do not purchase this, who ever liked this they do not know what good food taste like!!!!

Best St. Paul sandwich I’ve ever had. The woman at the register is super nice, and the service is quick too. 10/10 would recommend.
