As someone who's not originally from the St. Louis area, I've struggled with the local Chinese food scene since moving here—most places serve dishes that are way too sweet for my taste. However, this restaurant has completely changed my perspective. It’s the first restaurant where I've enjoyed truly GOOD American Chinese food in over three years. I ordered black pepper chicken and pork lo mein (my standard go-to at any new place), and for the first time, the flavors were genuinely savory and delicious. If the quality remains this high, I can definitely see it becoming my new favorite spot!

Not a native of STL area Saint Louis style Chinese food has been the bane of my existence since moving up here. It seems like every restaurant, the food is overly sweet. This restaurant is the first GOOD American Chinese food I've had in about 3 years. Igot black pepper chicken and pork lo mein (my go to order at every new restaurant) and this is the first time it's been trulysavory and good. If the quality here continues, it will be my new favorite spot.
I was quite disappointed with the food. The Mei Fun was overcooked and lacked flavor. The sweet and sour chicken had barely any chicken in it, mostly just a lot of breading. While other reviews are positive, I might consider giving it another chance, but my experience this time was definitely not good.
This is seriously the best Chinese food I have ever had! When I lived in st charles we ordered it all the time! We moved about 35 minutes away 4 years ago. I have never found a place that even compares to this.. I make the hour round trip just to enjoy this amazing food!! Book a table now
Really did not enjoy the food. The Mei fun was very overcooked and had no flavor. The sweet and sour chicken had almost no chicken in it, just a ton of the breading. Other reviews are great so I may give it another shot but did not have a goodexperience at all.
Very sweet young lady taking phone orders and checking you out at pickup. Food was fresh, hot and delicious. General Tso?s chicken was not much different than sesame chicken, but still good. I will be back for certain, and maybe request more spice inthat.
Love this place! Seems to be family owned, and they have always been very nice! Love the sesame chicken and friend rice! Hands down the best Chinese in st charles.
I doordash here a lot. And because the employees are so nice I have started to order my self food from here also. The food and the customer service are great. Book a table now
It seemed just so-so to me, mostly because the sauce seemed watered down as it was thin compared to other places (Kung Pao Chicken).
The BEST Chinese food. I've lived in other states and this remains my absolute favorite. The BEST Crab Rangoon!
