As a beginning culinarian I was grateful for my school Chef for introducing me to this place. The staff is very kind and informative. You can get what you need from hotel pans, frying pans, walks, knives, dishware, to rolling pins and serving utensils. They also have cutting supplies woks and so much more. I have been a repeat customer for months now. Prices are amazing! I've told many people about this place. A rare find and a must have to keep in your back pocket when you need supplies. read more

What a find. This is primarily a large warehouse that you might go to if you operate any kind of asian restaurant and needed everything to do it. It's also open to the public and there is no minimum purchase required. It's an older place with layers of products everywhere but that's what makes it such a fascinating place to visit. They seem to have everything from chopsticks to soup spoons to large pots to cast iron fittings for gas lines and it all seemed cheap enough. The lone staff person was very helpful and seems to know what is where in a seemingly chaotic inventory. A big plus is that they are right on it with proper COVID precautions. read more

Dragon Trading Co - Restaurant Supplies Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This a is a good "no frills" restaurant supply store with a good sized selection of items. You will find the basics here, but not everything. The best deal I found were the sturdy Piano whisks, which were a very good price and they have several size options. You really have to take your time to sort through the clutter, but it's a fun way to spend 30 minutes or so. I also left with a really cool restaurant style plastic container & lid that I've been looking for with measurements on the side for marinating lots of meat, bamboo tongs and an Asian-style soup ladle/spoon for my take-out ramen & curry noodle bowls. Yay! read more

Dragon Trading Co - "Piano Whip" 10" & 12" (restaurant quality, heavy duty Whisks). These would be FAR more expensive at Williams & Sonoma. - Restaurant Supplies Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

What an interesting place.... I almost don't want to write about it so that it stays hidden and out of the way. It's definitely not for everyone, that's for sure. you're kind of shopping in a damp basement warehouse. There are all these doorbell jingles that are motion activated as you walk down the aisles, like one every other step. So each time you browse up and down the aisle, you are greeted by a cacophony of out of sync doorbells. It's really unnerving. Other than that, they have a lot of stuff. Tools of all kinds for kitchens, that you'd also find at restaurant depot, but considerably cheaper. some of the stuff is like the worst most generic commercial brands, so it's not the place to buy yourself fancy equipment. But they do have a very affordable version of everything. It's not organized in the least, but the owner/employee there was very helpful and patient with me. If you know what you're looking for, have the patience to search, you can stock your kitchen here with commercial tools and general restaurantware - that is, inexpensive, sturdy, and easy to replace once it does break/gets lost. And again, good prices compared to Restaurant Depot, but at times you also end up with a lower quality product. read more

Places like this scare me, at the same time they are amazing to me. When you first walk in the place looks cluttered and disorganized, but then all of a sudden you realize there is a method to the madness. If you can't find what you are in need of ask one of the employees (they're all family) and they'll take you right to it. How they know where everything is in the huge warehouse will blow your mind. Allan C. warned you about the senor chimes welcoming you as you enter, but he forgot to tell you they are "Hello Kitty" sensors. Once she speaks in English and then the next one will be Chinese. As we walked deeper into the store there were the more traditional chimes like doorbells and each one had a different chime. It's like being a dog on a leash, they know where you are at all times. I started playing a game and I only won once. I'd let Brad walk ahead of me and see where the next chime activated, then I'd try to pass by without setting it off. They were so hidden in merchandise, that only once was I able to sneak by. It is a restaurant supply store, but if you play "chef" at home and need hard to find "chef tools" check this place out. They also have dishes, signs and those cute little plastic baskets that your burger and fries come in at some places. If you come here to shop, keep in mind it is not Crate & Barrel or Williams-Sonoma. read more

This place is pretty freaking sweet... and freaky. The second you walk in you're inundated with sensor chimes, welcoming you in.... and then for the next 15 ft that you walk as well. It's pretty absurd, like something out of Puppetmaster or something. But really, all you really care about when you come into a place like this is if they have what you're looking for and if it's for a reasonable price. This was actually the 2nd Restaurant Supply place I went to looking for any absurdly huge pot and a strainer to go with it. BJ Peerless didn't have the strainer that I was looking for. I asked the nice person at the counter what I was looking for and I was out of there in no time with my newfound Magnum(80 qts!) of a pot, strainer, and cover. This place is open up to anyone so do check it out. It's definitely worth rummaging through. read more

Man they have everything here! Whenever I need to find something or have a question, Dragon Trading is the first place I call. They have so much stuff in there seriously, you can spend hours it's awesome read more

THEY HAVE EVERYTHING HERE. Once we travelled all over the city trying to find a lot big enough to cook a big batch of broth for a pho. We came in here and 10 mins later went home with a lot big enough to fit our 4 year old child. This place does not dissapoint. The store might be intimidating at fiest, but the woman that works there knows every hook and cranny. read more

Love the huge selection of items here. I didn't catch the name of the woman we worked with, but she was super knowledgeable about the various equipment we were looking to buy. She recommended various options and patiently explained the differences between them. Grateful for all her help, and I left feeling great about the purchases I made. read more

Very friendly and helpful owner working here. She helped me find just what I needed and offered great alternatives as well. Loads of restaurant equipment here. I am just a home chef but found useful items. I could wander around a place like this for hours. I am that kind of cooking geek. read more
