Food was so bland, barely any sauce in the moo gai pan. I threw most of it away. It wasn't even average for Chinese.

Favorite restaurant in cape! Food is always great and so worth the money! It makes for plenty of leftovers as well! The staff is always so nice when I go in to pick up my order! read more

We have only eaten once traveling through. The food was tasty and the service was good Better than you find in most small towns. We are hoping to stop by on or way home from Kansas City tomorrow. read more

Ordered the combo and a full meal. I should've just ordered the combo- it was enough for 2 people and cost the same if not cheaper! Crab Rangoon and crispy spring roll (vegetarian) were very good. Mixed vegetables in brown sauce was delicious and white rice was perfectly steamed (not too sticky). One meal was a serving for 2 (days) if not 3! The hot and sour soup was disgustingly thick with cornstarch that my spoon stood straight up in the center of the bowl and the base "jiggled". I also didn't know if it was vegetarian or had a meat or fish base. They didn't disclose it. They didn't update the Yelp order status (it was still in "waiting for restaurant to confirm" status when the delivery driver texted me that they had arrived!). read more

Ordered takeout. Everything was pretty horrible. Fried dumplings were swimming in so much grease that I was nauseated after a bite. Egg rolls were fried at such a low temperature that they absorbed a large amount of oil. Wrappers were soggy and undercooked. Used to be one of my favorite places, but no care is used anymore. read more

Found a few new favorites for me!!! Off the original menu the hot beef dinner!!! The "other" menu.... Cumin beef!!! Plenty of heat and flavor with both of these dishes. The cumin beef does not have a sauce on it, but the flavors of cumin and onion and pepper are on point. The hot beef comes with vegetables and a sauce... lil sweet... then rice wine.. then an after heat. Perfectly balanced. read more

The People's Choice Winner.... 9 years running!! I would absolutely agree with the recognition the locals have given this excellent restaurant. Our meals included the Hot and Sour Soup, the fabulous Shrimp Rangoon, Generals Tso's Chicken, my favorite the Chop Suey and a dish that only people that have lived in Missouri probably know about, the "Springfield Style Cashew Chicken." We all ordered Hot and Sour Soup. The waitress asked if we had ever had it here, because it is a "little different" she said. She brought out a sample for us to try. It was different. It was very good, but I would call it Hot and slightly Sweet Soup! The Shrimp Rangoon was the most crispy, delightful wontons we have ever had! The Chop Suey was perfect. The General Tso's Chicken was a little different. The sauce had some tomato base to it. It was not oily or syrupy, a really nice flavor. Then there was the Springfield Style Cashew Chicken. This Dish originated at Leong's Tea House in Springfield, MO. Instead of stir-fried chicken, it is deep-fried then covered with a sauce made from chicken stock, soy sauce and oyster sauce, topped off with cashews and green onions. My wife and I had this at Leong's in Springfield, on one of our first dates, many, many years ago. Wow! Pleasant memories! Outstanding! Nice, friendly staff providing very good service. read more

Locally owned restaurant with bustling business. It's intimate but relatively spacious on the inside. Definitely ask for the Chinese menu - it has the more authentic options. Don't fear: it still comes with English translations + pictures! Food came out incredibly quickly and it seems our server was also the owner, so obviously the service was extremely prompt and friendly. The food wasn't the best I've ever had, but everything tasted decently authentic for the region and the Chinese menu offers lots of options. I was surprised that despite almost everything being red when they came out, nothing was too spicy (and trust me - I'm not that good with super spicy food). They give a big bowl of rice for every entree you order (not counting noodles/fried rice dishes), and charge $1.50 for every additional bowl you order. Unless you ordered less entrees than the number of your party, you should be good with the rice they give. Try their fried frog legs and mapo tofu, they were the best dishes we ordered! read more

Really enjoy most all dishes except for Hot and Sour Soup. It isn't sour. It is sweet! I tried adding rice vinegar but the sweet is still over powering. read more

Great food, clean and pleasant dining room, longtime Cape family taking care of their business!!

Came back for lunch today, wife had the boneless spare rib lunch, way to sweet...left half of it..I had the Mongolian beef, which was also to sweet..sauce was really thick, meat was tender. Came with won ton soup with two won tons. I could not find or taste meat in the won tons....appeared to be a ball of dough..didn't care for it...was hoping we'd like this place..not happening.. read more

I've have been here about 6-8 times just for takeout only because of the pandemic virus issue. Overall the food is pretty good a little pricey but you get good portions. Never really had a bad experience here except sometimes understanding what they are saying. I had to download a menu as the old one was not right price wise. I've sample quite a few meals here from General TSO Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, Kung Pao Chicken & Beef, Cashew Chicken, Springfield Style Cashew Chicken, also the Egg Rolls, Shrimp Rangoon and Wonton Soup. Also Hot and Sour Soup. I prefer the Lo-Mein noodles vs regular or fried rice which cost extra because I like the noodles vs rice. Overall never had a bad meal here and they are pretty friendly. I use to go to perryville and eat at Chan's there as they have a all you can eat buffet which is pretty good and best time to go is around lunch as the prices go up after 3PM. read more

Amazingly good food and excellent service, very clean inside. Ordered a sampling of 4 dishes, wonton soup, egg drop soup, egg rolls, moo goo gai pan, s&s pork, general Tao chicken, Kung pao and fried rice, awesome on all dishes, huge portions, enough for 3 more meals!!! read more

Mongolian beef looked like it had dark brown gravy on it. Egg drop soup was orange and was greasy.

I'm not big on eating Asian food yet I eat here! When I pick my food up I get excited because I get to see the plates come out of the kitchen and they all look terrific! read more

Great atmosphere, delicious food, love the tons of origami on display (see pics). Egg flower soup: 3/5 Hot & sour soup: 3/5 (rated by friend) Shrimp rangoon: 5/5 (first time trying it, asked for red sauce to dip to compare to duck sauce, liked red sauce better cuz it was thicker Hunan Chicken: 3/5 (rated by friend) Sesame chicken: 5/5 (one of THE BEST I've ever had, savory and sweet sauce, battered chicken wasn't soggy, great texture, just a hint of crispness, perfect) read more

We have eaten at this restaurant for year. After today we will not. Food was so awful we left it on our plates. When we told staff how bad it was they simply shrugged. Pathetic service and food. read more

If you are looking for Authentic Chinese Food, this place is the best place in town! "Best crab rangoon" They have 2 Menus -- One is the typical chinese menu. Wonton soup, egg drop soup, eggrolls, fried rice. Orange chicken etc. If you ask for the Authentic Menu... They have varieties to choose from... Real Chinese/ Spicy Eggplant with pork is my husband's favorite (No 12) Fish with Napa Cabbage and spicy sauce is one of my favorites (No 11) Love their Noodle Dishes The staffs are very friendly and the service is good! Enjoy!!! read more

Can't believe I've never reviewed this place. What can I say, consistently the best Chinese food in town. They have an authentic menu as well as the Americanized version. The staff are quiet, hard working and friendly. Kiki runs the place standing at the register most of the time. She works all the time. What a sweetheart. All of my family come here from Marble Hill, Fredericktown, and us From Cape Girardeau. Is the food good? Just watch the take out biz that they do. Tip: Try the eggplant and pork from the Chinese menu. Waves of pork goodness will wash over your being! Eggplant is so tasty. One of my go to favorites. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect because I'd never been there before. What a pleasant surprise! The food was delicious! The service was great! If I lived closer I'd go more often. I have two friends who were there with me and whom I know will be returning again soon. I highly recommend this restaurant for great Chinese food! read more

Simply stated! One of the best places to eat in Cape. The food is fresh and the head lady is a workaholic. I love it!

They have the best Mongolian Beef I've had in years. They also have great egg rolls. They food gets out quickly and the service is fine. They need to get a diet drink other than Pepsi but probably should be drinking water anyway. read more

Chan's food and service is always on point one of the best Chinese restaurants around

Good food but their combinations need to be a little better priced for customers.. I have friends that can go their for a good price but I simply just want sesame chicken and vegetable lo mein but they say I have to get two entrees which usually run around $17-$20 not sure but they don't have them combined. Great food I just spend a lot of money when my girlfriend and I go out there. read more

Chans is awesome! Always cook to order fresh and with specific old owners recipes. Love this place!

Ask to see the Chinese menu, or go ahead and order the Kung Pao Chicken, Chinese style. It's the bomb!!!! I would order something else, but this is just too good! It's locally owned and the lady that has it is so nice. I enjoy supporting her restaurant! read more

As I headed south, I was looking for something to settle my stomach after gorging myself in St. Louis, and I settled on Chinese comfort food. They offered me their authentic Chinese menu, which offered a wide variety of things I really wish I could've eaten, like fried frog leg and chili fish. But I just wanted something simple to digest, so I ordered a large bowl of wonton soup from the regular menu. It was tasty, comforting, and easy on my poor stomach, and I left happy. The place itself is nice, too. It's well-decorated with dollar bill origami, the surfaces are all color coordinated, and everything looks pretty and clean. read more

The wonton soup and Rangoon were amazing! If I was rating just these it would be 5 stars. However I was highly disappointed in the fried rice and sweet n sour chicken. read more

While traveling in China some years ago, I discovered that I really prefer Americanized Chinese food. Sorry China:( Maybe they do the authentic food better, but this was the worst Americanized Chinese food I can remember eating. The dumpling in the soup was tough and contained overcooked pork, the egg roll was super-greasy, and the hot braised chicken was so bad that I ended up sending it back. They were kind enough to take it off my bill so I just ended up paying a la carte for the soup and egg roll that were supposed to accompany it. Call me crazy, but I would come here again. The service was good, the people were friendly, and they had this amazing collection of origami money that I just found fascinating. There are framed origami money collections over almost every table, they have a showcase under the cash register, and another collection on the wall. Someone who works there has a real talent, and more dollar bills than a strip club. I almost gave them 3 stars just to encourage people to go see the origami money, but that just didn't seem quite right. read more

Great food, great service, at a very reasonable price. Also good atmosphere. Try the chinese chicken noodle soup with egg on top, or the general Tso's chicken, its great. read more

Chan's Restaurant - The origami all around the establishment is neat to look at. Inviting atmosphere and great food. - Chinese Near Me - Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Back in the day, like perhaps almost 2 decades ago, this place was the shiz-nit. I learned to use chop sticks, fold cloth napkins all fancy-style, and like Chinese food here, and the owners used to give us lolipops, too. The last time I went here the Christmas before last, the ownership had changed and the menu was all Cantonese-y, and the food was pretty flavorless. 5 stars for what it used to be, 1.5 stars for now, and I'll round up to 4 stars as my perception of food is different in Cape than it is for food in California. read more

Fantastic food, great service, and a good environment. Very rarely encounter a wait for seating or a long wait for food. If you're going out for Chinese, choose Chan's. It feels like a nicer restaurant. read more

I love this place and recommend it to everyone. Dine in or take out. Clean and a nice place, service is always great and generous serving size read more

Best Chinese food in town! Delicious.

Chan's is still my favorite restaurant. The food is to die for. The menu has so many things to choose from. They also have an authentic chinese menu for some more options. I will always love Chan's and I suggest you give it a try! read more

Love going to Chan's for dine in and getting to go. Owner and staff are so sweet and great at recommending new things. I almost always order off the authentic menu to try new things but the Singapore mei fun is always a must have. Delicious fresh soups and crab Rangoon's. The price point is great for the portion you get. read more

Great food at a reasonable price. The sesame chicken and shrimp Rangoons are super solid.

Having lived all over the United States including both coasts, I have had countless meals of Chinese takeout. That said, hands-down best Chinese food in the country especially for the price. read more

This is our new favorite Chinese restaurant Service is fast and courteous. We were promptly seated, served quickly, the meals came out beautifully presented and tasted fabulous. We were looking for vegetable choices or meatless options and Chan's has plenty to choose from. It's the best selection of vegetable choices at a Chinese restaurant that I've ever seen. We will be back. Service is great. The food is great. Prices are reasonable. I only wish they had delivery. Walk around the restaurant and check out the dollar bill Origami collection. read more

They are quick, and accurate. Lots of decorations made of money: they are wealthy. Lots of good food for the price.
