Delicious food. Great friendly service. Polite and professional. But again DELICIOUS!

#53. Kung Po Chicken
Sunya A.

My go to neighborhood Chinese restaurant. They always get my order right. Food is made very quickly and fresh. Reasonable prices. The kung poa chicken is soo tasty. The general Taos has a light sweetness and isn't coated in too much breading. The Mongolian beef was very tender.

Breading from the chicken

The old saying is "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me". I have been getting dinner from this restaurant for the last 10 years, at least. About a month ago, I got my usual Sweet and Sour Chicken combination with Crab Rangoon. The Crab Rangoon is one of the best in town, it is made with petals instead of a folded over crust. The fried chicken had an exceptionally thick coating of breading on the chicken pieces, I called and spoke with them and told them the problem and it was acknowledged. I decided to try it again and as you can see from the picture, the breaded crust far surpasses the amount of chicken you get.

Chicken and broccoli was primarily celery.

We were seated immediately, which we appreciated because we were tired and hungry. Since we already have our favorite dishes at Cate Zone, we knew exactly what to order as soon as our server came by. Our go‑to appetizer is always the beef tripe -- non‑spicy -- and it never disappoints. We always enjoy it with a bowl of rice, and the combination is incredibly comforting and flavorful. We also ordered the crisp shrimp with egg yolk, which is my 6‑year‑old son's absolute favorite. It's unbelievably tasty -- rich, crispy, and just out‑of‑this‑world good. For our last dish, we tried the crisp sautéed pork for the first time. This one didn't quite hit the mark for us. The flavor leaned sweet and salty with no spice, and it didn't have the same wow factor as the crisp shrimp we love so much. Still, it was worth trying something new. All our dishes came with a bowl of hot, steaming white rice, and everything arrived at our table in under 10 minutes -- their speed is impressive. The portions were generous, and we left completely full with leftovers to take home. Cate Zone continues to be one of our favorite spots, and experiences like this are exactly why we keep coming back.

The food is always really good, but I find the service to be lacking at times.

So while I would like to leave a 5-star review for the food alone, I've had enough experiences struggling to order that it doesn't seem like a fluke. This location is more spacious than the one in UCity but the menus are the same. Food is delicious at both.

When the new owners took over a couple of years ago, they remodeled 1/2 of the restaurant. We have…read morenot been there in a month, and they not only finished the other half, they remodeled the half that was completed. The gaudy over-the-top remodel is gone, and the entire restaurant is modern, sleek and very comfortable, with a nice mix of tables and booths, with beautiful black and gold tiling on the floor, and interesting finishes to the ceiling. The entrance has changed with a maitr'd stand there and a wall, so you cannot see the diners from outside the restaurant. Very comfortable, very pleasant atmosphere. The menu has not changed, nor the prices. We have enjoyed the food since the new owners took over, and found them very obliging to special requests. I had Garllic shrimp, which is just large shrimp, very well cleaned, a lot of water chestnuts and mushrooms in a spicy/sweet sauce. quite good. My wife had Broccoli Beef. Either they use a better quality of beef than most Chinese restaurants, or it is marinated, but in any case the beef has always been very tender. Soups were spot on as was the traditional egg rolls. Service was attentive and pleasant. Prices are a little higher than most take-out restaurants, but in West County there are not too many choices. Highly recommended.

Excellent attentive service by our waitress! Food was delicious too. We all ordered from the lunch…read moremenu that includes a cup of soup, vegetable egg roll and crab Rangoon.

As unique as this stand was compared to the other food stands I knew I had to check it out since I had never tried or even heard of Uygher cuisine a day in my life. I am so glad I did because it was Amaaaaazing!!! I tried the Braised beef burger and the strawberry yogurt drink, my friend had the laghman and the mango yogurt drink. I liked the burger but I loved the laghman even more, and both of our yogurt drink tasted really good! They offer a variety of spicy and non-spicy dishes as well as halal, vegetarian, and gluten free meals (their menu has icons by each meal to show which are spicy, gluten free, and vegetarian)

Apparently, they are the only Halal Chinese restaurant in STL! We started off with pumpkin sambosas: deep fried triangles filled with beef and pumpkin, dusted with powdered sugar. A good mixture of savory and sweet. Then we had to try their yellow hand-pulled noodles and they did not disappoint! I loved the bouncy texture of the noodles. The thick sauce had notes of spice and was slightly unbalanced but still yummy. It was perfect to sop up with their soft fluffy naan. Lastly, we got the sautéed mala chicken which was a massive portion for $26 - by itself, it could probably feed 3-4 people! It was truly mala (spicy and numbing) with generous Sichuan peppercorns. The chicken was flavorful, though slightly tough. This dish would've gone well with the yogurt drink. Overall, this was a great dinner for 2 people with leftovers. I'd like to try one of their lamb dishes next time. You should definitely give them a try!

There were also tons of board games! I got the strawberry fruit tea- it was wonderful. Not too sweet, had real strawberries in it with lemon slices, as well. Strong green tea flavor if you're a fan of that. Prices were great! Very affordable. I got the crab rangoons which were very good and crispy. The dumplings were alright. The pork and shrimp ones didn't really stick out to me. The beef ones were good! My favorite of the three I tried was the chicken with shiitake and bok choy. I got them pan fried, but I felt like the sides of the dumplings were a bit doughy and undercooked. Overall a very nice place for lunch and a treat! Will definitely return.

It's a pretty spacious restaurant with board games to play, a few random kitchen appliances for sale, and peacock chairs to chill in. The lady working here was really nice, and clarified a few things on the menu for me. She seemed busy with tickets, and pick up orders. The food took a while to come out, but it wasn't too bad of a wait. I wish our drink orders had come out all at the same time though. drinks: Red Bean Uji Matcha - ordered with less sugar, my MIL liked the flavor Pineapple Fruit Tea - ordered with all the sugar, my husband did not get a lot of pineapple flavor Jasmine Tea - ordered with less sugar, I liked the flavor and that the jasmine was strong Food: Cucumber Salad - it was drenched in the sauce, but it was still good. I wish it was smashed cucumber instead of sliced though Pan Fried Dumplings - it was missing a lot of crisp, but the filling was good. We got beef. Boiled Dumplings - Pork was the filling, the wrapper was good and chewy, but it nothing was stand out. Shrimp Shumai - Compared to most shumai, this was big and you could see chunks of the shrimp at the top! Chicken Teriyaki Udon - the noodle was great! I think this had the most flavor, and was the best option for the table. Considering the area, it's probably the best option y'all have, but I think having the udon will be the way to go!
