go to for Chinese delivery when the craving hits. Food quality is great and they have some great out of the ordinary dishes you don't find at other (american) chinese places. Tip: they are a little parsimonious with the white rice simply order yourself a little extra. read more

So good. They actually put the pineapple and onion with the sweet and sour chicken, and veggies in the rice. So many places stopped doing that. They've always been polite. read more

We eat here once a week, no joke! This place is a suburban gem. I didn't think I would find such a place with great vegetarian options when I left the city, but alas... here it is! General Tso's Tofu is the absolute best around! The staff is super friendly, food is consistent, and very reasonably priced! Never change, Hsu's! read more

Service is always great and food is generally good but the prices have raised and some of the food has lost flavor. I ordered crab Rangoon the other day and it didn't taste like there was any crab in it, it tasted like there was just cream cheese. I paid $8 for a cream cheese Rangoon. read more

The eggplant with garlic sauce was like a trip to the Parisian Opera : in a word iconic. The flavors are so strong they blast out your craving for any other cuisine read more

St. Louis County's BEST Chinese food...hands down. Their special low neon is so delicious and General Tso Chicken...unbelievable!

Best Chinese food in St. Louis!!! The pot stickers and the egg rolls are the beeessstt!!!

A carryout place, kept it simple shrimp fried rice and an egg roll. Both were okay, but the rice was a bit moist, like it drier. The egg roll a bit soggy, but just okay. Also, got lemon chicken, lots of chicken but little sauce and chicken was just okay! So 3 stars is about right for tonight. read more

Really wanted to like this place but it was a flop. As someone born and raised here I can name over 30 other places that taste better and no where near as high. Crab Rangoons tasted old and like they had freezer burn, didn't taste fresh at all. Almost $7 mind you for the worst crab Rangoon I've ever tasted. Sam's club boxed crab rangoon taste better and that sadden me. Not STL style rice at all. If you know you know. The general tso chicken was the only thing that tasted decent. I enjoyed the broccoli not being smothered in the sauce. However it was clean and the customer service was decent. read more

I love coming here. Fast service and good food, decent pricing. It's a small place but they always have my food ready in the time they say. The ambiance is cozy since there's not a lot of seating. We don't eat there though we always do take out. read more

No offense to the owners, but this is easily the worst food I have ever ordered in my entire life. The fried rice tasted like it was 10 days old, the meat had no flavor and was mushy, and the crab Rangoons had no flavor and hardly any filling, but that wouldn't matter anyway since it tasted like nothing and was mostly fried wonton. Sauce may have helped but the only sweet sour sauce they offered was the yellow packets. You couldn't have paid me to eat this it was that bad. read more

Tonight was my first time trying Hsu's Hunan Yu and it was really tasty! Definitely some of the better sauces, overall the food was light and didn't make me feel exhausted after eating. The sauces were packed with flavor without being overbearing. General Tao Chicken : the sauce wasn't too spicy but had lots of flavor. The peppers were a nice touch. I liked that the broccoli was separate but there was a chunk of ginger I bit into that surprised me. Overall 4/5 for flavors. The chicken was slightly over cooked but it didn't drastically impact the overall dish. Orange chicken : this sauce was great! It was light and not to vinegary or a citrus bomb. The chicken was slightly over cooked but again, not making the dish inedible. 4/5 The plain fried rice was my favorite. Simple yet had lots of flavor and was cooked perfectly. 5/5 Egg rolls : another light item but sooo good. Mine was the perfect amount of crunch and it had an even temperature throughout and overall tasty. 5/5 Egg Drop soup : again, light but lots of flavor. It wasn't as warm as I liked for only an 8 minute drive home but still good. 4/5 Something did spill in the bag on the car ride home but I feel like that's a chance you always take when ordering Chinese take out. We paid cash but online accepts credit cards as well. No dine-in, either delivery or carry out. Customer service was friendly and the establishment was clean. Hsu's Hunan Yu will definitely be in our takeout rotation. read more

Three stars for the food, one additional star for being open on Monday and until 10pm in a post-Covid world. The good: our takeout order was ready very quickly and was fresh and hot when we arrived. The sesame chicken was very good and the pieces were gigantic, there was enough for two extremely filling meals; I also kind of loved that the broccoli was served on the side and there was so much of it! Usually you'll get maybe two pieces as a garnish at other spots. My husband got a shrimp st. paul and said it was an 8.5/10. It also came on an everything bun which was really interesting and he said it set it off. He also enjoyed his shrimp fried rice. I also subbed my white rice for fried, it was fine. Nothing over the top tasty but I've also had much worse. Affordable for the amount of food we got. Apparently the gentleman at the register was very nice (I waited in the car). The bad: hardly "bad" but the egg roll while crispy, had very little flavor and the crab rangoons didn't have any crab flavor. Just cream cheese - like just cream cheese. I love a savory rangoon, but there was no chive, garlic, or anything. All in all, we're satisfied. It probably won't become our go-to spot, but in a pinch on a Monday it does the trick. read more

Hsu's Hunan Yu - Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Good local Chinese food with good quick service! Nice, reasonably priced variety on the menu.

No ambiance, but excellent and reasonably priced food for delivery and take out. Delivery always punctual and friendly. And still hot!

Great Chinese carryout. No dining in. Ambience? Not here. Virtually everything I've had has been really good, but I really like the egg fu yung and fried rice. The guys at the counter are always nice. Give it a try if you're in the area looking for a good carryout meal. read more

Chicken chow mein was not what I was expecting. They had the chicken on the side with fried wonton strips. Very misleading as I was expecting pan fried noodles mixed with chicken and vegetables. Won't be ordering this again. The egg roll was good though. read more

Hsu's Hunan Yu - Chicken Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

We ordered online at 5:47p on a Wednesday. It said it would be 30 minutes. We arrived 5 minutes early (about 6:12p) and went inside. The very short woman at the counter seemed not to know we had an order, despite our confirmation email, and kept asking for an order number (like we were from DoorDash or something). Apparently NONE of the food was ready or anywhere close because we sat there for over half an hour (while five different people came and got their orders and left) before the food was ready. No apologies, no discount offered, nothing at all - just made us seem like we were at fault somehow. First and only time there for sure - NOT recommended read more

Food was excellent! Got the kung poa chicken and they accommodated my requested for extra spicy. The gentleman who took my order was so pleasant and the meal was very fresh. Great quality. Lunch combo with egg roll and soup was $6.50. Forget fast food lunches come by here! read more

Unfriendly service, mediocre food, high prices, no dine-in area, and the ambiance of a storage closet. I've been there several times because its close to work, but never really pleased. Sometimes I feel guilty or self-critical and this place fits perfectly. read more

Get lunch here often as it is close to where I work and other than not being able to dine in it is really good food for what you are paying portions are great too. Food also comes out quick and timely from my experience. read more

For what this spot intends to be, it's an absolute grand slam. This is a place where you can grab quality, inexpensive Chinese-American takeout. It should be legally required that every American should have one of these spots within a 10 minute drive but unfortunately inexpensive and quality are usually a mismatch. I've ordered lunch from this place probably a dozen times and every time the food has been tasty, fresh, and good portions. What else can you ask for? read more

Hsu's Hunan Yu is delicious, cheap, and fast. The perfect place to get takeout. Just be aware that they don't have any seating.

This was quite the experience, and to be honest with you based on the food I would have likely gone with a three-star review as it wasn't bad. However, the overall experience made it deserving of a two-star review. Hsu's Hunan Yu is located in a small strip mall, parking itself is limited, and the inside is small however there is enough room for four booths for seating. I would likely encourage another option than dining in because they had a portable space heater that felt like the fire of Hades had expanded into the dining area, making the experience uncomfortable. I feel that carry out and delivery is what keeps this place in business. When we first arrived, we were greeted with a less than enthusiastic how can I help you, which wouldn't have been an issue on its own but it likely signaled the start of a downhill dining experience. After ordering, we grabbed a table and waited, and continued to observe the employee who seemed to become annoyed any time the phone rang. On one occasion we overheard the employee venting and swearing in the back. Apparently, a customer had called in, and they didn't have their order, he repeatedly told the customer that they had to have called the wrong restaurant, only to discover after hanging up that the order was placed online and took time to process. The highlight of my visit had to be when I overheard the employee storm into the back and yell, "Call me when's delivery comes in, I don't want to be here all fucking day". As far as my food goes, the hot braised pork seems to have more breading than actual pork, but the sauce was tasty as was the rice. Lunch specials offer very reasonable value for those looking for a quick, cheap lunch. read more

I've had delivery from here twice because I try to maximize my cleaning time by not leaving the house at all on one of my days off and it's just way too hot to go out for lunch anyway. Today was the most recent delivery I've had and sadly, they messed up my order. I did not call or have it fixed as I am hungry and didn't want to wait anymore. I ordered a full order of beef fried rice and got an order chicken fried rice. I double checked my order on my screen as I still have it and yes, it is for a full order of beef fried rice. I also ordered a full order of general tso's chicken without the white rice. It came the way I specified and they also added a small container of steamed broccoli on the side which was nice. Delivery takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes from here. I don't remember what I ordered the first time but it was correct and I liked the flavors. It's not the best Chinese food I've had but it's pretty acceptable in a pinch. With that said, my general tso's today was actually pretty good, quite saucy and the chicken pieces were not over-breaded. So that definitely got a thumbs up from me. With that said, I will definitely order from here again on one of those gaming or cleaning days when I don't feel like leaving the house. read more

Our absolute favorite Chinese restaurant, Hunan Royal on Tesson Ferry in Dierbergs plaza, is closed due to coved 19, so we went to Hunan Yu for the first time in over three years. I remembered it being very good, but I must say we were very disappointed this time. We got Kung Pao Shrimp, Chicken Fried Rice and crab Rangoon, our standard order at Hunan Royal. Nothing was anywhere near as good as at Hunan Royal. We have become very spoiled by their consistent high quality. My shrimp were 1/2 the size of those at Hunan Royal and we're overcooked, tough and dry. The fried rice had very little taste and the crab Rangoon were tough and chewy. If I had to rate the meal, I would give it a four or five out of ten....meh! We are anxiously awaiting the reopening of Hunan Royal, the only local Chinese we will go to from now on. read more

Food was nasty straight up be careful ordering they will add their own tip to there convenience when delivering so let's start on the food the bourbon chicken is salty green are cooked all the way through though I can smell the pot the egg drop soup is cooked in and it was egg shells in the egg drop soup 10/10 do not recommend read more

My personal favorite of your standard takeout Chinese places. The pork fried rice is exceptional. If you want my advice, add vegetables. I also really enjoy their Kung Pao beef. The Kung Pao sauce is much better than most. The dinner combos are also really wonderful and good value. I don't live close to hear and come often just to fulfill my craving. read more

My neighborhood Chinese carryout. We are SO LUCKY to have this fine Chinese restaurant in our backyard. They deliver, they do carryout, and there are a few tables at which you can dine in. There's a daily special which is always delicious. I've been a happy customer for over 25 years. DAMN I'm getting old! read more

Service was friendly and fast. The food overall was ok. We got the lo mein, crab ragoon, garlic broccoli, general tsao chicken and Hunan beef. Everything was a little bland. Not bad just not something I think I'd crave. read more

First time here. Crab rangoons were really chewy. Had a hard time biting through them. And really there stand alone flavor wasn't great. Same with the egg rolls. Crispy shrimp was decent. Orange and General's chicken was ok. My wife wouldn't eat her Cashew chicken, the sauce had a medicinal taste. Gentlemen working the counter was nice and helpful and they were pretty quick. The amount of food for the cost was good, combos come with an app and a soup. I'd like to give them a better star rating, but the four of us just had an overall disappointed with the the food. read more

As far as cheap Chinese places go, this place is as good as it gets. This is my family's go-to takeout spot for over 20 years now. One of the greatest things you can hope for from a restaurant is consistency, and over the years, the food has always tasted exactly the same -- amazing! In all those years of carrying out, I don't think they ever made a mistake with our order. I guess it helps that the owner basically learned our order over the years. The egg rolls here are honestly the best I've had outside of China. Did I mention this place is cheap? If you live in the area, do right by yourself and make Hunan Yu your go-to for Chinese take-out. read more

Have been ordering carryout Chinese from HHY for a longtime. Food is always good, fast and reasonably priced. You will ho back!

Quick decision. Easy ordering and it was worth it. The orange chicken and egg rolls were amazing. You won't be disappointed

Small mall footprint but giant example of great Chinese food. John the owner is a decent honest owner who serves excellent food at fair prices. You won't be disappointed. read more

Not bad, not life-changing either. Trattoria Toscana was crazy busy and we needed some place else to go to dinner. This place is right down the street from T.Toscana. Plus we had an Entertainment Book coupon so we decided to try it. Generous portions. Not very spicy at all. Fried rice was not as good as I've had in other places but better than some places. Very nice girl at the front desk. We mentioned Yelp and got a free can of soda. No Fountain drinks are available. read more
