I have tried the Spicy Thai fried rice, Thai Spring Rolls, Pad Kee Mao, which have all been very good. My wife tried the Stir Fry in Peanut Sauce with chicken and enjoyed that also. It seems as though the majority of their service is carry out, so not much on the ambiance for eating in. It isn't bad just not dressed up for a really nice experience. One last note, order early on Saturday nights. They can get backed up for Saturday night carry out.

China Bistro is inside Pan Asia Supermarket, so it's not really a traditional sit-down restaurant,…read morebut the food is seriously good if you're looking for bold Chinese flavors. We ordered the cumin beef, twice cooked pork, beef noodle soup, fish in chili oil, and also a beef pho (not pictured because we started eating it right away). The twice cooked pork was my favorite. Really flavorful pork belly with leeks and chili, a little smoky from the wok, and perfect with rice. I'd go back just for that dish. The cumin beef was also great -- lots of cumin and spices with crispy bits of beef. The fish in chili oil came in a huge bowl packed with dried chilies, garlic, and peppercorns. Definitely spicy but really good if you like Sichuan-style dishes. The beef noodle soup was comforting and hearty, and the beef pho was solid too -- good broth and a big bowl. It's a pretty casual setup since it's inside the grocery store, but the food is legit and the portions are generous. Definitely worth stopping by if you're already at Pan Asia or craving something spicy

Place your order, go shop a little and go back and grab your food or stay and eat-in at one of the many tables. The #17 noodles, no protein is my absolute go-to FAVORITE dish along with the sauteed green beans and their plain fried rice is better than their shrimp fried rice. I love that they offer whole and half duck. I have to try the crispy pork that hangs along side the duck in addition to the duck. Also the prices are reasonable and the portion size is nice. They have a great menu offering and even sell cold dishes on the outside of the register in the display case, such as: sushi and vegan duck. See my pics attached to my review for Pan Asia

I just made the mistake of going back on my lunch break today because it is close and I was short on time. When I told the lady I wanted fried rice, but to go, she took the menu out of my hand while I was still looking at it and walked away swiftly. When I got back to work and opened the so called fried rice, it was very disappointing! It was basically white rice with boiled chicken and a couple other pieces of pale meat. There was nothing fried about it, loosely packed, and completely flavorless. I added the 2 packets of soy sauce, hot pepper to try to spice it up, but that wasn't enough. The resteraunt appeared to be clean as far as I could tell. The employees/owners don't look up from their phone or offer any sort of greeting when you walk in. The only one moving around was the rude lady. I will not be going back here, nor recommend this place. I will go the extra distance on my lunch break to Golden Wok, where the owners are extremely friendly and grateful for your business, and the food is delicious everytime.

I was craving Chinese and was unable to find a good place in West County. I came across this…read morelocation and decided to give it a try. The parking lot is shared, and the restaurant is in a corner. I walked in and was greeted immediately even though she was working on other orders. They have about 3 to 4 tables for dining in. A few people were eating there, but mostly people waiting to pick up and go. I ordered a shrimp St. Paul and crab rangoon. The order took about 15 minutes, so I ran to schnucks to grab a few things. I came back and waited about 5 minutes until she called my order. Since I've been craving this for a while, I ran to the car and took a bite out of everything immediately. Ugh, I'm a bit disappointed. The Rangoon wasn't as crunchy on the outside as it should be. It don't have any pictures because my husband ate them. He also said he's had better. The shrimp St. Paul was bland and didn't have many sprouts in it. Guess I'll have to drive to North County or the city for the best taste. Overall, the staff was nice and I didn't wait very long for my order but I likely will not return.

The counter person who waited on us had no personality and acted as if he was imposed upon. Not a good start. We ordered eat in and took a seat. About 10 minutes later we were called to the counter and our order was packaged for take out instead of eat in. Oh well. We ordered the lunch special menu. I had hot and sour soup with urban chick and fried rice. My wife had Moomoo gai pan with the hot and sour soup and white rice. The soup was hot but tasted like they added cornstarch to thicken it up. Rather bland but plenty of tofu and mushrooms. Not great, but not the worst I've had. the Hunan Chicken was rather bland. No sweetness to the sauce just loaded with red pepper flakes. Not a winner by any measure. The Moomoo gai pan was just bland, but the veggies were crispy. Bottom line, not an epicurean delight bu if you just need fast convenient carry out Chinese it will do.

I am vegetarian and you HAVE to get their fried tofu and broccoli. If you are somebody who likes their tofu actually fried and crunchy on the outside then this is the place to go. I don't think I've ever gotten tofu at another Chinese takeout that makes their tofu like this. We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the food! But we also got an order of crab Rangoon, veggie moo shu, and vegetable lo mein. My mother (who is picky) said "this is Chinese food with actual flavor!" When comparing it to another place we had tried. They have the same retro interior that I'm sure hasn't changed since they open. I like the look of the booths and it is all very clean and a great place to eat your food if you're not taking it with you. It's probably a good thing I don't live close by anymore because I'd be getting this too often!

What a find this was!…read more See pictures for the interior feel of the place. That's the only down side. Small place, feels more like a place to order take out. Not really conducive to eat in, it's not a totally comfortable vibe. But we did! As well as a few other people that came at the same time. The service was great! Server guy, I'm not sure what to call him, was extremely attentive, personable and did pretty much all the running around while we were there. He handled all the tables, handled the people picking up food for take out, and did it all smoothly. The food really was amazing. Again, see the pictures I posted. We over ordered, on purpose, to try a little of a lot of things. The corn soup was different, but good. Seems to be a mix of a few cans of cream corn, broth, and a few chicken bits (if you ordered chicken). We found it pleasant. The fried spinach was amazing. The yellow curry was amazing. The Mongolian beef was amazing. Thank you for the rice, there was quite a bit of it and the fried shrimp (I forget the official name...fried shrimp?) off the appetizer menu) was AMAZING. We will definitely go back. Even if it's just take out. I must say....we took the left overs home and they made the trip just fine and were still good as left overs. Highly recommend.
