Chong wah has been my go to china man for 30 years now. The owners are friendly and even know us by name. Plenty of options on the menu to satisfy all types of taste buds. Give them a try if you're ever in the area! read more

Good Chinese food at a decent price. Small parking lot doesn't accommodate large crowd so use caution when parking. Open until 9, later than most places I know. Closed Sunday. Their St. Paul's are really (greasy) good. I think I'll get one today! read more

Chong Wah was one of the most unique dining experiences I have had in St Louis. Before entering, an unhoused woman sitting just outside the door solicited us for money. Just inside the door, there was a booth piled high with a variety of socks. There were also a few men in booths, not eating or waiting for food, just hanging out (and possibly trying to sell the socks?). We were visiting from far out of town, and desperately wanted to use a restroom, but were told that there was no public restroom available. This was the first time I had ever experienced this in a restaurant. The counter had a very tall plexiglass window with a faded menu on the wall behind it. The area where the bathrooms should be was taped off and filled with junk. Two of the three trash cans were taped up and the third was overflowing. The floor was dirty and many of the booths were too. We ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan, Sichuan Beef, Chicken Lo Mein, potstickers, crab Rangoon, and Sweet and Sour chicken with no sauce and no sides. The MGGP and SB were both delicious and piping hot. They had a very high vegetable to meat ratio (we would have liked more meat), but overall were good. The sweet & sour chicken came with sauce on it, which we had to return because my daughter wouldn't touch it with sauce. They threw away the saucy order and brought us a fresh order within 5 minutes. The chicken was greasy (we wrapped each piece with a napkin to sop up the extra oil before eating). The pot stickers were enjoyed by all. The general consensus was that the crab Rangoon needed more filling and were slightly dry. One of the most difficult and frustrating things about our meal was that there were no plates with our order and the forks were flimsy- which made it hard to eat out of the little cartons. We all had to share from the cartons, since we had NO PLATES. Seriously... no plates is incredibly inconvenient, especially when eating with children. Overall, if you're considering eating here- get your food for carry out. Dining in was not the most sanitary or comfortable environment. After our experience, I doubt that we will return to Chong Wah. read more

Flavor and get the order correct. This place use to be good, what happen? I ordered a whole order of egg foo young and got a whole order of chicken fried rice read more

This place has been open since before I was thought of if you go here make sure you have cash no cards is accepted

Chong Wah on Lindell use to be the best chinese food this side of the city. Now it is possibly the worst. This chicken was so dry today. I was embarrassed that I brought my work friends there. There was hardly any sauce on the chicken and I hate to say it but every piece was in the shape of a mouse. These use to come in a nugget shape but they are all the size of a small mouse. Very odd and suspect! read more

Quick and Convenient. We ordered Chong Wah for a late dinner on Saturday night. I called for takeout and my food was ready by the estimated time. I ordered the whole order of sesame chicken and and order of crab Rangoon. The crab Rangoon were decent but I felt the filling to wrapper ratio was a bit off. I was impressed by how much sesame chicken was included in my order. The portion size was quite large this could easily feed 2 people. The broccoli included with the chicken was not tender at all though and bordered on being raw. Overall, I would return to this location a Chinese food fix read more

Good, fast food that's convenient. Carryout preferred...................... I don't need eighty five characters

Cheap Chinese/American standards at Chong Wah: fried rice, egg foo yung, lo mein, chow mein, General Yao's chicken, plus St. Paul sandwiches. My pork fried rice came up quickly but was so-so--a bit on the bland side though adding soy sauce throughout helped. Following all COVID protection protocols. No inside dining though tables are open for customers to use while awaiting orders. read more

The special fried rice is fire! Not only is it loaded with tons of fresh vegetables such as beans sprouts, green peppers, onions and mushrooms but it has tons of meat in it as well. It has savory shrimp, duck, pork, beef and ham in it. This fried rice is very filling and tasteful. read more

That chicken was overcooked and old the rice was undercooked and hard. The only thing that was edible or enjoyable was the bottle soda also the scramble eggs in the shrimp fried rice had Metal shavings in them I called the store they weren't apologetic but I did offer to remake but I refused I won't be eating there again read more

Chong Wah - The eggs have metal shavings in it - Chinese Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

For years, Chong Wah has been (arguably) the best Chinese takeout option in the central part of the City. As far as I can tell, that's still the case. The options lean heavily on Chinese-American carryout favorites: General Tso's, fried rice (with onion and egg, by default), cashew chicken, egg rolls, hot & sour soup, chop suey. Less common options like egg foo young and St. Paul sandwiches (egg foo young, in sandwich form) are also available. (Menu with old prices: http://go2chongwang.weebly.com/menu.html). Fast, inexpensive and consistently prepared, the fact that I can't recall a mixed-up order or unpleasant batch of rice in over a decade keeps Chong Wah on my neighborhood shortlist for lunch or a quick dinner. COVID tips: The dining room booths are currently blocked off and there are social distancing markers on the floor. The front door may be propped open to allow contactless entry and exit, and a clear divider has been built over the counter with a gap and red tray set off to the left to pass orders. Hand sanitizer is available on the counter and the staff were wearing masks, gloves and, in some cases, face shields. Walk-up ordering for carryout is allowed, but it's probably much easier to be heard if you call ahead. read more

great food great service , quick completion of order. will be coming back! very pleased with the service , came after a recommendation from a frequent customer read more

It was fine. We were from out of the area and it wasn't the flavors I was expecting. They were very busy with many customers! It seems very popular. Order was quick and accurate. Prices fair. read more

Ever since I moved her this is the only place my sister goes to get Chinese food, I like the food it doesn't upset my stomach being a vegetarian no MSG. The location is pretty convenient easy access by public transportation or your vehicle. I recommend it if you haven't been try it out! read more

Food is really bad. Like really bad. Crab Rangoon has almost no filling and is hard as rocks. The lo mein and rice have exact same favor (or lack thereof). 100% would not recommend. read more

I love Chong Wah for the food quality alone! The food taste really good and the portion size is huge! You get a lot of food for the money you pay for it! This places is located in the Central West End by the schnucks on Lindell! You can either call in your order or you can go pick it up. Usually it is done within 10 or 15 minutes. Here is the bad part about this review. When you walk in there will be a few homeless people who try to get you to buy from them certain stuff. I am sure the stuff is legit but it's kinda scary. Then after you go past them the staff is not the friendliest people in the world. You also have to pay for everything. Things other restaurants give for free you are charged here. They also do not let you grab your sauces because they want to limit how many you can have. I'll go back here a lot for Chinese because it taste good, you get a lot of food and it's a good experience all around! I highly recommend this Place who wants cheap, good food! read more

It's average cost effective Chinese food - staff is nice, food quality is 4/5. Not bad . You can buy food for 6-7 dollars .

Good food cheap. For those complaining about the "less than desirable" people who may be sitting in there getting refuge from the weather, get over yourselves! read more

I'm not sure why this place had such a high rating. The main benefit for me when I eat here is price and location. The food has a long way to go before it will make me want to return. The vegetables were off-colored, but I give this a pass because it's hard to find good fresh vegetables at an affordable price in the CWE. The place was old and dirty, but again given a pass because it's CWE. What I was most disappointed in was the quality of the sauce on my Mongolian beef. Watery and flavorless. The beef wasn't dark, but light. Worse than fast-food quality, in my opinion. The yelp rating is extremely misleading. It's like they got all their friends to rate it well, even though it isn't. read more

Like others I am confused why this is rated so high. First of all this place is sketchy as hell. Walked in the door and there were 2-3 knuckleheads up to no good inside. One man had bags and bags of undetermined goods piled up in the booth next to him and asked me if I wanted to purchase a movie from him. Received a few mean mugs while I was there too. Food was average and not good enough that I would take that adventure again. Giving this place two stars because the crab Rangoon was decent. Place also doesn't deliver and the restaurant was dirty and dingy inside. read more

This is my favorite Chinese take out spot in the CWE. The food is wonderful, cheap and it comes comes out fast! My favorite dish here is the General Tso's Chicken which is amazing. The duck fried rice is fantastic, too! The only downside is that it looks kinda ghetto from the outside, but don't let that fool you. The food is good! read more

Honestly, the food is decent. HOWEVER, every time I get food, there is an inch of watered down sauce (in part due to condensation). It wakes the chicken soggy and when the cheap, thing bag tears, there is immediately sauce ALL over your car. It's a huge inconvenience & is enough of a reason to not return...... Additionally, the portion sizes are inconsistent. read more

It's not the best and just alright. The Chicken St Paul sandwich was good. The service is good there. I had orange chicken and the orange sauce over the chicken was watery and bland tasting. I never had orange chicken that taste as bad as theirs did. read more

The best Chinese in town. Good price, good service and good food. Nice selection of food as well.

Food is ok, but the prices on the menu they give you are different. They are cheaper on the menu, but when you order, your price is higher. I find that deliberately misleading because a place of business should be up front and honest with their prices. read more

To sum it up in two words: --Not advisable-- I'm also at a loss for words as to why people give this place a five star rating. read more

We had veggie fried rice, pork fried rice, crab rangoons, and orange chicken. Everything was really yummy. The inside of this place is a little run down and a couple of homeless people came in and out while we were there so definitely order it to go. read more

Love the food here Neighborhood Chinese spot. Always busy. Call ahead. You won't be disappointed

WAIT TIME: My call in order was not ready 35 minutes after I placed the order, despite being told it would be 15 minutes. FOOD QUALITY: The Hot Braised Pork was extremely heavy on the portion of "meat," but with a tiny box of steamed rice. I realize this caters to some, who simply want a lot of meat - and I would've been accepting of this had the meat been good - but it wasn't. The pieces of meat looked deceptively large. The actual meat was about 1/3 the size of the chunk, surrounded by breading (or POSSIBLY skin), with an air pocket in between. PROS: 1. The sauce was good. 2. The younger guys behind the counter (maybe sons of the family) were very kind. read more

I just wanna say this place is awesome. I've never been disappointed. I feel like I've tried the majority of the items on the menu within the past month and they are all great. I'm a big fan of the pot stickers and the special fried rice. The employees are nice and the restaurant is pretty clean. Prices are also reasonable. One issue I had is I saw an online menu that said they sold coffee but when I got there I was told they do not. Which is no biggie at all but I will have to admit I was confused. The only thing preventing me from giving this place all 5 stars is the location of the restaurant. I'm a slu student and I get harassed by strangers at least twice a week when I'm the area. People catcalling me, asking me for money, etc. it would be nice to get my Chong Wah with a side of peace! But I love this place and will keep coming for as long as I can. read more

I only gave them two starts because my food was ready on time and they were nice, but the food was not good. I ordered shrimp fried rice and sweet and sour chicken and it just tasted weird. I wouldn't go there again... definitely not for it. read more

Food was awesome! Portions plentiful! My only issue was the cheap plasticware. The fork kept bending in half and I could barely pick up my food. I ordered the shrimp with broccoli. Overall an enjoyable experience. read more

My boyfriend and I have had take-out from this place a few times now, and we keep going back. We love that all the ingredients are very fresh! And affordable to boot. I love their orange chicken and vegetable lo mein. read more

Fantastic greasy chinese food. The duck fried rice is the bomb, as is the General Tso's chicken. Love getting take out from here late nights! read more

This place is solid. The food is fast, consistent, tasty and very affordable. It feels like the local meet-up for some customers from the neighborhood. I see some folks just hanging out and talking most times I come in. Once, there was a guy who tried to sell me cologne, so it's got it's charm. Overall, it's a great standby for Chinese take-out. read more

Delicious food! All the flavor you expect in Chinese food and yet not as greasy as you usually get. No fortune cookies though! I would not eat here though. Definitely stick to take out. read more

This may be the best Chinese takeout joint in St. Louis. The only downside is that the place is often very busy, and the wait times can be long if you don't phone in your order ahead of time. A whole order of duck fried rice (w/ no green onion for me), and an extra duck leg really does the trick for me. As with most "takee-outees" you need your own bottle of soy sauce because the stuff in the packets is merely colored salt water. read more
