My coworker and I come here often for lunch. The food is always so good and the service is great. We get our food pretty quickly and it's never super busy. It's an older building, so it's not very modern. If you're looking for affordable Chinese food and good service, this is the place to go! read more

One of my favorite take out Chinese for the price and portion size. Special friend rice, wonton soup, crab rangoon, potstickers, and friend wontons are a few of my favorites! read more

I stopped here once after work because it was close to my job. It was ok, not the best Chinese food but not the worst either. It was definitely locally owned, a Chinese couple was running it, the wife in the FOH and the husband was cooking in the BOH. If you live close to this restaurants I can see you using it frequently for takeout. Definitely was a takeout spot, no dine in so the ambiance was limited. read more

Some of the best crab rangoons I've had in the city. Also, the general tsos chicken is made with hand breaded pieces of thigh meat. It can't be beat! I live right down the street and I'm always pleased with what I get. read more

I've been going here for years. I love the chicken fried rice with egg foo young gravy and those chicken wings! Lee and Tina are really nice people. When I come into their restaurant, they know exactly what I want. They are amazing, after all of these years. It's always a friendly welcoming atmosphere. read more

It's insane how affordable this place is. $10 bucks got me AT LEAST 10lbs. Though, there was an extreme lack of msg. The flavor needed enhancing. read more

My friend and I have been trying to find a good Chinese restaurant in the area and we stumbled upon this establishment. I'll say this is by far the best one we have come across in the Tower Grove/South City area. I was happy that the rice was brown. However, I wish that the shrimp and veggies were cooked a little bit longer and that they had green onions (my friend asked the cashier lady and she said no green onions but they had green peppers). Also, they do accept major credit/debit cards, but you have to spend a minimum of $10 and there is a $0.50 fee. read more

China Dish - Shrimp Fried Rice with bean sprouts. - Chinese Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

As somewhat of a General Tso's connoisseur, I was shocked to taste my meal. I immediately assumed I had accidentally been given a different dish, but it was labeled GTC (which context clues lead me to believe was my order). It tasted nothing like the GT of other dining establishments. It was mediocre, hot, a good quantity, but not what i was expecting. The fried rice was really really really good. Gold star. The crab rangoon was cold and the flavor was lacking. My coworkers all had different meals and felt similarly, the real kicker, was the 5 of us had a bill of 72 dollars. In addition to this, the delivery driver was incredibly rude (though very quick!). With all the fantastic places to choose from in STL, don't come here. read more

Good food . No frills and always hot . Not as greasy as other Chinese joints I usually get egg foo young with no gravy or broccoli chicken . Both delicious and packed with ingredients . Not salty either read more

I was craving Chinese food and this restaurant was close to me. It took about 45 minutes for my take out order to be ready, granted I did order quite a bit of food. The food was average, nothing absolutely amazing. Would order again if I was in a pinch but was not my favorite Chinese take out restaurant in Saint Louis. read more

Very delish! Definitely got the mama and pop vibe from this restaurant. Everything was perfectly cooked!

Upgrading from four to five stars. Soooo delicious... And fast (disclaimer: I order take out always, never tried their delivery) food is always ready when they tell me. I love the Shrimp Egg Foo Young, and my wife really enjoys the Lemon Chicken. Great portions, great taste, great all around! read more

Consistently good no matter what we order. The food is plentiful and the leftovers the next day are an added benefit.

Favorite Chinese food in the STL area! Haven't had one thing that tasted bad! House special rice with gravy is 10/10!

On the recommendation of other yelpers, I decide to try out China Dish. 1 downside, I live in CWE, literally less than 10 minutes from them, but they said they didn't deliver, oh well, had to get off the couch. But, was it worth it. Hot braised shrimp, chicken wings, duck fried rice. OMG. Yes. The duck was juicy, not greasy and flavorful. My hot braised shrimp was seriously the best I've had, spicy but not hot, and plenty of sauce. Will be back, even if I have to drive there. read more

Okay, so I'm generally not a huge fan of Chinese food, but I wanted a change of pace and this place has always intrigued me since it's technically in the hill. first: this place is speedy. second: I am incredibly confused by the person that said they don't get enough food for each order... I attached a picture of my HALF order of chicken fried rice. Massive (and it was a half order!) third: it was pretty yummy and there was a decent amount of chicken in it (sometimes they skimp and you wind up with 85% rice fourth: I completely agree about the crab rangoons... It was mainly crispy outer and hardly any cream cheese. read more

China Dish - half order of chicken fried rice - Chinese Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I'm sad to give a one star rating, but I am not a fan. I've had their food twice now. I won't be ordering again. I've ordered delivery both times, and each time took about 30 minutes. I usually eat a late lunch at about 1:30 or 2 pm. So 30 minutes for a spot a mile away seems a bit long for that time of day. The Cashew Chicken was extremely salty, as noted in a couple other reviews. I'm not sure if it's just this dish - but after one bite I was ready to throw it out. The Fried Rice was extremely dark and very salty - and the egg in it was also over cooked. I subbed Rangoon for soup. The menu said I could do that, and I'd get 3 of them. However, only 2 showed up in my lunch combo special. Doesn't matter really - the Crab Rangoon was savory (not at all sweet) with little crab. So it tasted like fried dough and warm cream cheese, which wasn't really appealing. The fresh steamed veggies with white rice was fine. So as long as they don't add sauce or season your dish you might be okay. read more

First time ordering and it was fantastic! The food was great, we got everything we ordered. Pickup time was very fast and so close to where we live! My husband said they were very nice when he picked up! read more

You know finding good Chinese in St. Louis is near impossible, but finding good Chinese that is good and also delivers is almost unheard of! That's why when I saw the reviews and the chance that China Dish would deliver to me I had to try them out. Yes, there is a huge language barrier when ordering, but if you are patient and know this ahead of time they are worth having to spell out every single instruction So once we established that delivery was available I ordered a half portion of Mongolian Beef, a half order of Chicken Fried Rice, an order of pork stickers, and a wonton soup. (I posted a picture of half of all of this) Honestly I was concerned they would have issues finding our house since they didn't ask for a phone number or give me a delivery time estimate, but sure enough within 30 mins I had an extremely friendly guy at my front door. Everything I ordered was in my bag, and they even threw in a complimentary Vess (even better since it was peach!). The pot sticker was doughy but tasty, and the Mongolian beef and chicken fried rice were MUCH better than anything I've gotten from the closer option=Park Chop Suey, yuck. My only complaint is why I cannot seem to find a less greasy fried rice anywhere in this town. The portions are truly as large as others say, and easily split my meal with my dad. So if u are dying for Chinese, and happen to live near the Grove neighborhood I suggest skipping the hour long hunt and ordering from China Dish. read more

Just tried to make an order for delivery. The prices online and what they actually are were different. Because I asked why my total was so much for a couple of soups etc. She said the price of the item I wanted to order and because I changed my mind before I could order something else she said "sorry we can't deliver" and hung up on me. Myself and a lot of my coworkers order from there. I will be sure to let everyone know about the subpar service read more

Love their food! Love how quick they deliver. Always super friendly to me! Every time they deliver they always have a smile on their face. Favorite Chinese place in the city read more

This is our go-to spot for Chinese delivery. It is small. It is fast. It is cheap. And, as other have noted previously, it can be difficult to communicate depending on who answers the phone. But we have never had a bad meal there, and we've been ordering for at least 5 years. Favorite item is the crispy cashew chicken, which is as close as you can get to Springfield style cashew chicken in St. Louis. Hunan and Szechuan chicken are both very good too. My daughter loves the vegetable lo-mein. The hot and sour soup varies from not very hot to ridiculously spicy, but always pretty good. Bonus--every delivery comes with a random Vess soda. We have quite a collection in the fridge now. read more

I've lived in the St. Louis area for almost 3 years now. I've tried countless Chinese restaurants and usually leave disappointed. Went out on a limb today and tried this place, although I was skeptical because it looks kinda sketchy. It was absolutely awesome. The crispy cashew chicken is So dope and the little woman working was so sweet I wanted to put her in my pocket and bring her home with me. Best Chinese food in the city hands down. read more

I get delivery from here all the time (never been to their location). The guy who delivers is awesome- last week I had been waiting a long time for my order to arrive so I went downstairs to see if it was here. It turns out the guy was calling the wrong number and my buzzer doesn't work, so he had been waiting there 15 minutes just knocking. I felt so bad!! But I appreciated that he hadn't left. The food was still hot when it got to me too! China Dish isn't anything exquisite (the 5th star is for the service), but this place is a solid option for good Chinese delivery at a good price. I haven't ordered from anywhere else since I found it. read more

Great stuff! We are still seeking out a go-to Chinese delivery place and this could be it. I got the crispy cashew chicken and my hubby got the curry chicken. I loved my meal and Greg said he had finally found the curry flavor he's been looking for since we moved here. Delivery was freaky fast, in fact, they arrived 7 minutes ahead of the quoted time - major bonus points! The only thing I took off one star for was that I felt the portions could have been a bit bigger. I'm used to having at least one meal's worth of leftovers and I downed the whole thing in one sitting. This is good stuff! read more

Went over to a friend's house to watch the Cardinals playoff game and they were regulars of China Dish and wanted to order-in. This is some solid Chinese food. Sampled the Lo Mein, the Sweet and Sour Chicken and the General Tso's Chicken. Really liked the Lo Mein, and the General Tso's was one of the better versions I've had. It wasn't sweet like I've experienced elsewhere, but (bear with me, here) almost somewhat of a Chicken Marsala-type sauce..? I definitely recommend that. The full portion will definitely leave you with left-overs. read more

Absolutely terrible. I quite honestly don't even know where to begin. The food is cheap, so that's nice. Food was flavorless, the hot and sour soup was not spicy, not sour, but tangy?!? I don't even mind that the place looks like a dump. In fact, I tend to prefer those places since *typically* the food makes up for it. If you want chinese food that's edible, you'll need to head up to Olive. read more

I'm giving this establishment four stars. It's a great value, service was good, food wasn't bad but wasn't the best we've ever had. We always read reviews before choosing somewhere to eat and the reviews here seem to be a mixed bag. We ordered sweet and sour pork and chicken, beef with broccoli and sesame beef. The total for four dinners plus an egg role, order of crab rangoons and pot stickers was less than $30, plus came with soup, so it's a great value. The sauce was already on the sweet and sour, which we tend to not like as much, but it wasn't bad. The beef with broccoli was pretty good and that's my standard, I figure if the beef with broccoli is mediocre nothing will be fantastic. The sesame beef wasn't what my husband expected, it was more like beef in brown sauce with sesame seeds but he said it wasn't bad. The crab rangoons were mediocre. I've had a lot that were too sweet but I'd prefer that to just a dab in the bottom. I also like ordering beef or chicken sticks which weren't on the menu. The soup wasn't bad either. We will try other places but this wasn't bad and we've certainly had worse! read more

Good! Crispy Cashew could have been crisper, but I'm partial (grew up in Springfield) .. maybe I'll order the sauce on the side next time... and there will definitely bee a next time! Pretty happy with my delivery today. read more

VERY RUDE!! I called to place a carry out order. The woman on the phone asked me "is that all?" I asked a question about what came with my order. She answered and sounded annoyed (they don't have a website with a menu to look at). She asked me again "is that all?" I said yes and she slammed the phone down and hung up on me. I guess they can't be bothered with single orders. I was ordering so I could tell my coworkers whether or not it was good as they always order from another Chinese restaurant. No one in my office will be ordering from them! read more

The service was great, delivery was prompt, prices are affordable and the food is good! Definitely looking forward to ordering in the future. read more

I've been going here for years for my carry-out Chinese food needs. The food is always delicious. My favorites are their General Tso's chicken and the Orange Beef. read more

The food is pretty good! They have great service and the delivery guy is always so nice and pleasant! I live for their crab Rangoon!

Awesome food and very friendly. You get a free can of Vess soda with your order too! Nice surprise!!

Overall I have to give 5 stars. Food is not the BEST but it is very very good, I aam a fan of having plenty of sauce and this place does not disappoint. I have never had mushy veggies like some places. Prices are very good and works with a budget nicely. They deliver to my area which nobody else will sadly so that right there is a high point to me. Everyone I have dealt with especially the delivery driver are very nice. read more

The service was prompt and the food was hot. I ordered the pork fried rice and an order of sweet and sour chicken. The sweet and sour chicken is served already soaked in the sauce which becomes soggy and just to much sauce. The pork fried rice was bland. Overall just not a lot of flavor. read more

I too have eaten from here for years. Consistently good Chinese food. The couple that own it also run it and are always very friendly and accommodating. Talk about freaky fast delivery they sure did on my order today. I do live close but wow. I usually get moo-shu chicken or hunan chicken both real good. Prices are as low as they get. read more

Kind of a scary looking place, but the food more than makes up for it. Everything I've had here has been delicious. This became my go-to Chinese food place after moving to Southwest Gardens, and I love that they deliver also. Definitely recommended if you're looking for some tasty Chinese food, plain and simple. I mean, where else can you get crispy cashew chicken? No where, as far as I know. And it is awesome! read more

After reading all the 4 star reviews on yelp for this place I was excited to try it since its just down the street. Boy I was way underwhelmed. I ordered this as pick up over the phone, the telephone greeting was a simple "Hello" nothing that indicated that I called the right place. My food was ready in about 8 minutes, so they were definitely fast. My main issue though, was with the food. I ordered the crispy cashew chicken combo, which came with egg drop soup, white rice, and two crab rangoon. The portions were much much smaller than what I am used to getting at a Chinese place. Typically I can get two meals out of a single order, the little soup container I got wasn't even filled the whole way. Their crab rangoon was super disappointing, they were small and filled with very little cream cheese, also just for your info their crab rangoon has a savory filling, not a sweet cream cheese. The cashew chicken was way way too salty, couldn't even taste the flavor in the sauce because of how insanely salty this was, and the cashews had a weird, almost dirty, taste. So, while they are fast, I am definitely not interested in eating from here again, alas my search for the best Chinese food in STL continues. read more

Was kind of skeptical about this place. But after getting the general chicken and fried rice my fears have been relieved. Food was great(HUGE portions), delivery was quick, and cheap. Definitely will be ordering from them again. read more
