Customer Reviews
Excellent time! Went for Christmas. They were extremely crowded, but we were able to sit at a table with strangers and ended up meeting some great folks. It was quite the Christmas/holiday experience. The food was good. They did run out of appetizers but I think that just comes with how crowded it was. The service was good. They managed to get the food out pretty quick once we ordered. The food was pretty reasonably priced, it wasn’t a cheap Chinese place (like Chicago Chinatown cheap) but it wasn’t expensive and the food was good and portions were big. I’d say expect to spend around 20-25 per person (in late 2025 going into 2026). I really liked the atmosphere here. It has a 90s sort of theme to it. Really enjoy it. Would definitely recommend this spot! Go there for Christmas/the holi
We were walking around the area and came across Wonton King. The need to have Chinese food overtook and we regretted it with the very first bite. The recent reviews talk so highly of the place and the reviews that are older than a year have had terrible experiences. We unfortunately share the same sentiment. I wish we had followed through the reviews written in the past because they clearly are more in number than the recent ones. The food was really bad. We were carried away when ordering and placed a huge order of crab rangoons, sesame crispy beef, kung pao chicken (spicy) along with chicken lo mein. Crab Rangoons: Doughy, undercooked, imitation meat was fine, but it could certainly be better. Something didn’t feel right. It wasn’t the takeaway Chinese we love. Sesame Crispy Beef: It
Best Hong Kong chow in the city 🔥🔥🔥great customer service , very friendly staff. Food is very good and in the middle of Ucity! The new china town. A must visit if you love STL Chinese 🔥🔥🔥
I would be willing to bet I've dined at Ling's place something over 100 times at this point. Back when I was a Yelper, I hosted about a half-dozen events at this place and pretty much everyone loved it. I brought clients and customers here for business lunches, etc. Here's the very first review I wrote of the place back in about 2014. Pictures were taken over the years with the most recent being Christmas Day 2025... Great Dim Sum place in the same basic geography where most of the Dim Sum in the area can be found. I realize that STL does not have a "China Town" per se but Olive east of 170 seems like it is close enough. A few notes: Their chang fun were possibly the best I've had in STL. The noodles were cooked perfectly, slightly sweet and presented an overall sense of freshness.
Wow!!! Admittedly this place was a little expensive for my tastes, but I nabbed a 50% off coupon and decided to give them a go. They are worth the price, y'all. Holy crap. I say this as someone who has lived in New York City: this was the best hot and sour soup, AND the best beef chow fun that I've ever had. No lie. Wonton King was fantastic!!!! The beef in the chow fun was perfectly velveted, giving it that melt-in-your-mouth texture. Usually I have to add a little soy sauce to the sauce, as I find Chow Fun is often made with tradition/heritage in mind unlike super salty Americanized dishes, and I didn't need to add any soy sauce to this. The sauce was perfect. And the noodles! Listen...I kind of think they're using leftover Cheung Fun noodles and not Ho Fun, because these suckers were w
