Lunch
Bonnie L.

This is the place to be! Everything is 10/10. Plenty of parking. Service is excellent. Can be a wait for a table. Wontons in chili sauce is one of the best. Tender skin, delish filling, just the right amount. It's a bit spicy for sure. Black pepper chicken. Amazing flavor. My fav dish. Fried rice is so good! Simple dish but so tasty! Everything on the menu has so much flavor. Everything is fresh and delish. Great milk tea and boba. Highly recommend.

3 cup chicken

I can't believe it took me so long to try this place! We ordered the crab Rangoon, wontons in chili oil and the pork bao buns for appetizers. The wontons were a huge hit for the 5 of us. I got the 3 cup chicken and it was so flavorful and saucy. The cucumber salad was very crisp and fresh. Huge portions for everything. I would definitely recommend joining the waitlist on Yelp beforehand so you don't have to wait as long. Our server was so nice and attentive. Only downfall is that not all our meals came out at the same time but we didn't mind too much. There is so much more on the menu to try. Their to go bags are top notch

The food at Corner 17 is always delicious and fresh. Their bubble tea is one of the best in the STL.. The staff are always pleasant and provide prompt service. The lime accent color gives the restaurant a calm ambience. The big window looking into the kitchen is fun to watch them making the noodles by hand!

ALWAYS a great experience at Corner 17!! I've been here so many times and tried so many different kinds of dishes and appetizers on their menu - everything's delicious! Today was the first time I tried dessert from Corner 17 (since I'm usually too full for dessert!) : we got the Mango Shaved Ice. So good!! The mangos are fresh and the shaved ice also has the flavor of mango, without tasting artificial. The popping bobas on the side are also a great touch. Service is also always quick and friendly. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't been here before yet!

Kung Pao Chicken and rice
David C.

When you see the option to join the waitlist, you should take it; when you see the ETA, you should believe it. Corner 17 is a popular spot at lunch time, dinner time, and any time between. Simce we already found ourselves near the Loop, my wife and I decided to visit for the second time tonight. We're glad we did. As busy as it was, their system is efficient. There was a span of about 50 minutes from walking into the dining room and back out onto Delmar, with multiple water refills and check-ins along the way. Once you open the menu, time is replaced with a question: How can I decide what sounds best with so many options that sound delicious? We both struggled between three or four dishes, but soaked in the bright green walls and large window into the kitchen as the team hand-stretched noodles and our choice narrowed down to an order. We finally settled on an appetizer of crab rangoon along with Kung Pao chicken and sesame chicken for our entrees. The crab rangoons have a wonderful crispy wonton texture and balanced cream cheese filling that leans on the sweeter side without being too sweet. My main dish (Kung Pao chicken) featured a rich sauce coating that was slightly sweet and slightly savory, with a variety of subtle flavor notes and a pronounced kick of chili peppers at the end. The texture combo of marinated chicken and roasted peanuts paired very nicely with the soft, fluffy white rice served on the side. My desire to enjoy it again as a leftover this week was the only thing that kept me from eating the entire entree tonight. Corner 17 is worth the wait. Check it out if you're visiting STL or check it out again to explore more of their expansive menu - we definitely will.

V11 Bok Choy With Garlic Sauce
Jenelle B.

Tonight's visit was our sixth or seventh to Corner 17. Every time we discover a new dish we love! Stir fried, hand shaved noodles were the star tonight. Amazing texture, fresh-made in-house, lightly sauced and served with cabbage and chicken. Our go-to sides to share are the bok choy and the sautéed green beans. The must do appetizer is the wontons in chili oil. Service is always prompt, but this place is hopping so be sure to get on the waitlist about 30 minutes before you arrive.

Corner 17 Hong Shao Pork
Sandi M.

The Hongshao pork ribs and the spicy wontons are my 100% go to. The ribs are always tender and flavorful. The service was timely but I will say everyone's food at our table was brought out at different times. Maybe 5-10 minutes apart, not an issue personally but an observation. The ambiance was great, very packed. I would recommend putting your name down on the wait list as the wait is lengthy. Our estimated wait time was 110 minutes!

Sunny P.

A tried and true favorite that I've been coming back to for years with my friends. Popular for a very good reason. Whenever friends visit from out of town this is always one of my go to recommendations and every single time they leave raving about it. It is always packed so just mentally prepare for a wait. We usually put our name on the waitlist and then walk around or grab boba from the front area while we wait. The takeout section is equally slammed with orders. The menu is great and has photos and it also includes options for vegetarians. The hand pulled noodles are super popular and must order dish. You can watch them being made through a glass section in the middle of the restaurant which is a fun touch. The staff is super efficient and friendly even when it's at max capacity. Every dish we've tried has been consistently delicious, nothing has ever disappointed. One of those spots that never gets old no matter how many times you go. Highly recommend.

First time at the Corner 17 with my wife and sister! We had a great experience at this Chinese restaurant in St. Louis! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The crab Rangoons were crispy and creamy, the dumplings were perfectly steamed, and the orange chicken had the right balance of sweet and tangy. The Kung Pao shrimp packed a nice spicy kick without being overpowering. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was cozy. Overall it's definitely a spot I'd recommend for a tasty meal!

Menu

This is a busy place! You can check in, and they will text you when your table is ready. There is a waiting area on the right side of the area, I think it's also a place to order drinks. When our table was ready, we were led to the dining area in the middle of the room. Great view of the window to see the chefs making the noodles. So interesting! Liz was our server and she was great! She took our appetizer orders and then let us think about our main dish option. She took the time to explain some of the dishes we had questions about and explained mala. Fried potstickers - great, chicken skewers - great, wontons in chili oil - great - it is hot, Crab Rangoon - ok - too sweet for me. Overall, really great appetizers. General Tsos chicken - good, orange chicken - good, black pepper chicken, really good, and mala stir fry - interesting. Liz explained the mala stir fry to perfection as a little tingly/numbing and a little hot at 1 heat level. I think maybe I just didn't pick the right ingredients; Bok choy, cauliflower, cabbage, chicken and hand shaved noodles. Not a lot of flavors there. I really liked the black pepper chicken so on a return visit, I would order that.

Vanilla Boba Tea and Corner 17 Thai Tea
Carrie R.

Grabbed lunch to go and was not disappointed, per usual! I've tried a few different things from the menu but I consistently get the shrimp or chicken stir fry noodle and a Thai boba tea. It was a relatively busy lunch time so I decided to take it to go. I gave 4 stars only because the interactions I've had with staff have been just ok. They're helpful and knowledgeable of the menu but there is room for improvement for friendliness. Aside from that, im glad I got to experience this place when there aren't so many people inside! Hah.

S7 Fish With Chinese Pickle Soup
Kay S.

Although a very busy restaurant, the wait staff was polite explained the dishes and followed up well. We tried two dishes a pickled fish soup (sounds different but it was great) and garlic beef. The soup portion was huge. The wontons for an appetizer was great. The beef entree was our least favorite, it was a little sweet for me, but not terrible. The Thai tea was delish! Matcha was good, but the Thai tea was much better. The menu was huge, Will definitely be back to try other things.

Beef Stew Noodle Soup
Erica H.

Overall, the noodle soup was great! There's a generous amount of beef, and I love how you can choose different types of noodles! I got the hand-shaved noodles because they give a chewy texture. The parking requires some walking if you park in the back of the restaurant, but overall, I would love to come back and try tiger dishes from the menu!

Been here a few times now and it is one of the most authentic Chinese spots in the city. Brought my…read moreChinese friends along and they fully approved and you can tell just by the crowd in there. Weekday visits are pretty chill but weekend dinner time gets busy, just something to plan around. Also a heads up on parking, the lot isn't very big so when it's packed it can be tough to find a spot. Would recommend carpooling if you can. I have a pretty low spice tolerance but there are still so many delicious dishes to choose from if you look around the menu. The soups are so hearty and comforting. Insider tip: the tofu egg dish is not on the menu but ask for it anyway. It is so worth it and the best way I can describe it is like eating a savory cloud puff. So unique and so good. The service is always super efficient, food comes out fast, and the staff will get you in and out. Every single dish I've had has been full of flavor and nothing has missed yet. Would absolutely come back and highly recommend.

We stopped at Chilispot for a family lunch and overall enjoyed our meal…read more The dumplings were a favorite at our table, while the spicy chicken was my personal standout. It was excellent and had just the right amount of heat. I also enjoyed the smoky ham fried rice, although it lacked the distinct smoky aroma I was expecting. Some of the other dishes didn't quite land for me. The fish soup wasn't my favorite, and the beef noodle soup wasn't especially memorable. The cumin lamb, however, was better than expected and ended up being one of the stronger dishes we ordered. That said, the service was friendly, the portions were generous, and there are plenty of interesting options on the menu. I'd definitely come back to try some different dishes next time.

It was a mistake to try Chinese food on Christmas Day. I hadn't planned ahead and hadn't gotten…read moregroceries, and a Jewish friend of mine mentioned his Chinese food tradition, so I figured I'd give this place a shot. Maybe they're fine on other days, but it took two and a half hours for my meal to be ready, long after the quoted time online. I sat outside in my car for a while when I went to pick it up, and the place was totally packed with people waiting for their food. Perhaps they should have capped orders or something? I'm sure they were exhausted and working nonstop. The pepper chicken was pretty good, except it was missing the egg I paid to add, as well as the rice. After waiting so long, I was really annoyed about the order missing the extras. It was an extra $5 to order online, too. I'm giving them grace because they were way overworked that night, and the food was pretty good. But they definitely need to cap orders or give more accurate time estimates. There were a lot of furious (probably hangry) people there who left without their orders.

So, I got delivery, pretty late...the food was hot and fresh! It was delicious, and I literally got…read morethree meals out of my one order of General Tso's chicken. And they include a free small side! I got crab Rangoon, then ordered another order of it, knowing that a small side wouldn't be enough. To my surprise, in total, even if I had not gotten the extra couple of pieces, it would have been enough! And their crab Rangoon is also delicious! I will definitely be ordering from then again! I've been looking for a new Chinese spot that delivers on Sunday, since that's apparently the only day I crave Chinese food, and most restaurants are closed on Sunday, which is another reason why I really like this place!!!

I flinch whenever I hear the "movoc" and I get so excited I want to throw up whenever someone suggests going to movoc for a hangout. There are lots of toppings to choose from, and I think that the concept of hot pot price by weight just like FroYo is fun and unique. Service is fast, and clean. The hot pot was delicious and not too spicy and the sauces they had to offer were very delicious as well. Not too salty. It's a wonderful place, whether you go alone or with friends.

This was my first experience at a hot pot by the pound restaurant. I've only been to all you can…read moreeat hot pot restaurants, so I was excited to try this place out. Apparently, I wasn't the only one because this place got packed by 6p on a weekday! The line was out the door. It can be a little confusing for a first time goer as you enter the place and grab a bowl to select the ingredients you want to eat. The minimum weight that you have to buy is 0.9 lbs, but you really won't know how much your bowl weighs until you get up to the cashier and put it on the scale. My bowl was underweight my first time through, so I went back to grab more ingredients. If I had to guess the minimum cost for a 0.9 lb bowl, it's probably about $16, which is a pretty good price for a hot pot. My bowl weighed about 0.97 and it was way more than I could comfortably eat. The next decision you have to make after you have selected your ingredients is the base and spicy level. I went with #1 Oil splash spicy soup at medium spice level. Now, I enjoy spicy foods, but this was at the upper limit of enjoyability. Although tasty, I think the oil in the broth got to be too much and I will want to try a different base next time. After you pay for your food, you get a number which you take to a table of your choosing and wait for your bowl to come out (they cook it for you). There is a drinking water station next to the free rice station, which was around the corner from the complimentary pickled vegetable station. Overall, positive experience and I would return for more. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026
