★★★★★ 5.0 Shuneequa Pierce · Oct 2025

This was our first visit to St. Louis and this place. We almost managed to try everything on the menu. The service was prompt and friendly, and the rice was simply the best I’ve ever had. It was unlike any typical fried rice with peas and carrots. The lo mien was equally delicious. I wish the duck had been crispier, but it was still good. The wings were incredible. We were so impressed that we went back on our last day in St. Louis. Even the rice, which had been on a 9-hour drive, tasted great. That should tell you something about the quality of the food.

I end up going as soon as they opened and ain’t no way this food tasted like mash potatoes. Taste like it was made for my grandma to eat, “GUMMY”. It’s the worse I’m ever had and I’m from the city. Stop being lazy, n start with fresh rice. This is disgusting.

Lived in St. Louis for 10 years and NEVER came to East St. In Ofallon, IL for the night so I decided to drive the 12 miles to try this spot after seeing the ChimeTime video on FB. The location is nothing to write home about but style wise, but this place was PACKED at 740pm on a Saturday night. They close at 8. I the customer service was 10/10. The young man even gave me some recommendations after sharing I’d never visited. While I waited in line to order, I noticed other people ordering extra egg, extra green onion… so I did too. Lol! The food was prepared fresh and toook about 15 minutes. While I waited for my food, I heard people asking for red pepper when they were called for their order. I asked a nice lady sitting next to me about the red pepper… she said definitely get some and add

I got a half order of special fried rice (A) with crab rangoon. The rice was very good but the crab rangoon gave more of a cream cheese only vibe. I'd go back

The customer service was really good and my favorite part about the whole visit. I work in the hospitality industry so customer service is important to me. Now the food was really good and in the St. Louis area which I'm including east St. Louis this place hands down has the best food. The egg foo young was banging, the orange chicken was banging, the fried rice was banging, and the pepper steak was good to. Overall I gave this place a 9 out of 10 starts. My only complaint was that my orange chicken was a little over cooked and the pepper steak had a slightly overpowering sesame oil taste, but overall this place is really good so I'll be back and that says a lot because I live about 30 minutes away. This place is better than all the ones I've tried. Do yourself a favor and stop on in.
