    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.

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.

I liked the burger but I loved the laghman even more, and both of our yogurt drink tasted really good!

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!

This place is an absolute delight that's well worth your time. My personal favorite dumplings are the beef and onion, but all of them are great, the soup dumplings especially. And they color code the dumplings, which is helpful if you're eating with food restrictions. There is also a pretty good variety of foods, it's not just dumplings and a few sides. A buddy of mine got sweet potato fries once, and they were pretty good, and anytime I go, my mom asks for a poke bowl. I haven't had a dish I didn't like. The boba is also good quality, and is adjustable to your tastes---you can control ice, sweetness, anc caffeine levels. The honeydew milk tea is my personal favorite. The wait time is also usually fairly short, though if you're worried, they have multiple board games along with various knick knacks to look at. It's a great spot, so I certainly reccomend checking it out.

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.
