The inside of this place has a ton of boxes scattered everywhere on half the side of the building. When I immediately walked in the guy looked at me but I was looking at the menu then he came up to the counter to take ny order. I ordered a half order of veggie fried rice, crab ragoon, and whole order of chicken fried rice. The rice itself isn't the dark looking type of rice that most people from STL is used to. The crab ragoon was only filled with cream cheese. The rice was just bland in my opinion and definitely needed some soy sauce. If you are looking for some flavor I'd look elsewhere. For $24 its overpriced for sure. read more

Yeah, could've been better. Tried the crab Rangoons, steamed dumplings, steamed chicken and broccoli, and sweet and sour chicken. It was all very mid. The crab Rangoons were filled with just cream cheese. The steamed chicken was a weird soft flavor that was a bit off-putting. The sweet and sour chicken was fine but mostly fried batter instead of protein. The dumplings were the only things that were pretty good. read more

I had to recommend not coming to location. Between the cleanliness, staff and service it is just absolutely terrible Every time I come in, they are sitting on a chair playing video games and they tell you to wait a moment until they finish their game before taking your order. The tables are always dirty. If they mess up your order, they refuse to make it right Highly discouraged coming to this location there much better restaurants in the area that are a lot better service and cleanliness wise read more

After paying, was given a WARM bottle of soda. Yuk, there are much better places....do not come here. read more

I came by here Christmas Day to grab dinner, and considering they were one of a handful of places even open, they were fairly prompt on getting my meal ready. It isn't much to look at from the outside, but I thought the prices were reasonable. Before any tip, my Crab Rangoon (4 pieces) and chicken with garlic sauce dinner was a total of about $17. And there was enough food to make 2 meals out of it. Nothing fancy, but it's a good option to grab a quick dinner to go read more

I originally gave these guys 5 stars. I'm not gonna lie the food is good... however I placed an order 1 hrs and 20 minutes ago. When I placed the order I was told that it would take 45 minutes. So I called. The woman that answered told me that I had been told by the person who took the order that it would take 45 minutes to an hour. Now 1st of all... they only said it would take 45 minutes. 2nd... it's been now 1.5 hrs. So either way it's late. Now read my other reviews I'm not a bitch. I'm understanding and to be honest if the woman who I spoke to hadn't hung up on me as I was talking (I was trying to tell them I understand) I wouldn't be writing what I am. 2 hrs It's a beautiful night. I'm standing outside. 2.5 hrs. The food finally arrived. The delivery guy was super sweet. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered from ST Louis Kitchen on DoorDash and not only did the meal arrive warm and presentable despite taking a little longer than anticipated and being the second stop, it impressed us that we will order here again and maybe even stop in. The lo mein was better than any other I've tried from a fast Chinese restaurant- nice flat thick noodles, not greasy and flavorful. The pork and broccoli was a good portion size and had decent amount of vegetables to pork ratio. The crab Rangoon was the hit of the meal with cheese filling worth the money! Flaky crunchy fried wonton with a generous portion of crab-cheese filling popping out each corner. The fried wontons weren't what we were expecting as it was different from another restaurant I like. read more

The food itself was fine, standard American Chinese food in large portions. Crab Rangoon was just cream cheese. However, it was not worth the two-hour wait. We ordered online and it said it would be 15 minutes. That seemed overly optimistic so we waited 20 minutes to go to the restaurant. An hour and a half later, we finally got our order. (Two hours after ordering online!) There was no way to cancel the order. I understand being busy but I wish the system had given us warning or a realistic timeline. My husband missed Christmas evening at home because he was waiting at the restaurant- they were not able to give an estimated time. read more

Took me a moment to realize there was affordable American Chinese food near my new home in Brentwood. Maybe their name had something to do with it? That said, the family liked the dumplings, but really liked the ample egg rolls. The orange chicken was too spicy for my wife and kid, but I really liked it. The beef lo-mien was tasty. Carry out service was good and they even threw in a nifty bamboo roll up 2020 calendar. They didn't however toss in 3 fortune cookies and my son nearly lost is marbles when we realized there was only 2 for the 3 of us. Price*Quantity/quality=good value. We will return.

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.

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

Depending on what time you go. Food is fresh and I love a few different options on the buffet…read more Service is good in my experience. I'll be back for sure.

The food is fine for a Chinese buffet. Lots of options mostly seafood and chicken the day I went…read more They serve all the classic Americanized Chinese dishes. The wait staff is prompt at taking care of us and friendly. It is an older restaurant without Any upgrades for as long as I can recall. The eating area in the front is kind of dark, but they have another room behind the buffet that has a lot of window windows and is bright.

Fried rice, lo mein, potatoes, green beans, general tso's chicken

A family dinner and it was DELICIOUS. You need to order the crispy beef because it was the stand…read moreout dish for our meal. This place has a huge menu, so it was a little overwhelming, but I think we did a good job lol. This place shares parking with other businesses, so parking can be limited depending on time of day. They have the standard big, banquet tables inside, and a fish tank for your little ones to enjoy. The service was friendly and DIRECT - so if you need to be coddled, you will not get that here lol. Be ready to eat and know what you want. I want to come back because I want to get their dim sum, and we moved from AZ where dim sum was available all day... so that was a bummer.

Party of 6 for a birthday and we ordered a number of delicious plates…read more * pan fried dumplings * sweet and sour chicken * crispy beef * beef fried rice, Hong Kong seafood noodles I can't remember the rest but there were at least 2-3 more... and everything was delicious. I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's never failed to be a great meal and good times. I'll always come back! Also the wait staff was so nice. Like extra nice. You'd think we were VIP or something and some of the other guests they knew by name and hugged them. What a great restaurant:)

We ordered from St. Louis Kitchen last night and it was possibly the most disappointing cheap Chinese I've ever had. Delivery was fairly prompt, within the time frame quoted. That's about the only good thing. Portions were large, but the food was so bad you didn't need all of it. I had the sweet & sour chicken-- the sauce was basically sugar water with red dye. It actually stained my hands red. No flavor whatsoever. The chicken was subpar and the rice was dry. My husband got a different chicken dish, which was mushy and flavorless. Even my 3 year old didn't want to eat any of what we ordered. To boot, their take-out menu is riddled with spelling errors. read more
