I had 5 kids with me and the only thing they had in common was they all wanted chicken wings. The rice and wing combo saved me the hassle of trying to please everyone. With 5 rice variations ranging from duck to shrimp and even pickier choices like no onions or an egg roll instead of crab Rangoon, Northland Chop Suey got every part of my order right. The man at the window was nice and patient and his service was A1. My Shrimp St. Paul with cheese was PERFECT! My rice was nice and dark but not greasy. My only critique is they are a CASH ONLY restaurant. Definitely worth trying.

The crab Rangoon is basically just cream cheese, with VERY minimal MICROSCOPIC alternative crab meat. The egg rolls are good. Chicken wings are fried right, but I dont care for the batter they use.

I flinch whenever I hear the "movoc" and I get so excited I want to throw up whenever someone suggests going to movoc for a hangout. There are lots of toppings to choose from, and I think that the concept of hot pot price by weight just like FroYo is fun and unique. Service is fast, and clean. The hot pot was delicious and not too spicy and the sauces they had to offer were very delicious as well. Not too salty. It's a wonderful place, whether you go alone or with friends.

This was my first experience at a hot pot by the pound restaurant. I've only been to all you can…read moreeat hot pot restaurants, so I was excited to try this place out. Apparently, I wasn't the only one because this place got packed by 6p on a weekday! The line was out the door. It can be a little confusing for a first time goer as you enter the place and grab a bowl to select the ingredients you want to eat. The minimum weight that you have to buy is 0.9 lbs, but you really won't know how much your bowl weighs until you get up to the cashier and put it on the scale. My bowl was underweight my first time through, so I went back to grab more ingredients. If I had to guess the minimum cost for a 0.9 lb bowl, it's probably about $16, which is a pretty good price for a hot pot. My bowl weighed about 0.97 and it was way more than I could comfortably eat. The next decision you have to make after you have selected your ingredients is the base and spicy level. I went with #1 Oil splash spicy soup at medium spice level. Now, I enjoy spicy foods, but this was at the upper limit of enjoyability. Although tasty, I think the oil in the broth got to be too much and I will want to try a different base next time. After you pay for your food, you get a number which you take to a table of your choosing and wait for your bowl to come out (they cook it for you). There is a drinking water station next to the free rice station, which was around the corner from the complimentary pickled vegetable station. Overall, positive experience and I would return for more. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026

I'm actually here on business in Washington, MO and the reviews for China King near there were horrendous. So, I drove 7 miles here to see if the people were telling the truth and yes indeed they were. Man oh man, this is the real deal Holyfield here. I ordered my fav curry chicken, house rice and wonton soup and can I tell you, they did not disappoint. I'm almost afraid to admit this but their food tastes a lil bit better than the restaurant in New Orleans where I go. The flavors are popping, the heat is just right, spice wise and the temperature is spot on. I can tell it was made fresh indeed. Chile, now this is a true hidden gem in the plateaus if there ever were one. I will say this, they were skimpy in the shrimp in my rice but it' cool, I get all the shrimp I want in Louisiana.

I randomly drove by this restaurant on Olive and was like wait a minute... A BBQ place just opened…read moreright next to Shabu Day??? It was definitely unannounced but pleasantly surprising. I was able to find the name of the restaurant on Yelp and found out that it was Chinese BBQ restaurant. Needless to say, I hopped in my car and drove straight to it right after. They open until late (midnight) so it's a perfect spot for hanging out and gathering. The restaurant is not too big so I would imagine a little wait if it ever gets busy. We came on a Friday but it was not too busy. You will be given an iPad to look through the menu and send orders to the kitchen. The process was straightforward. Food was pretty good in my opinion. I can't tell if it's authentic or not since I'm not Chinese but the whole experience was so cool. Food was cooked but they brought out a stove to warm my food. I recommend getting the lamb skewers and the Taiwanese sausage. In addition, if you like seafood, try out the oyster and vermicelli tin foil. The oyster was really juicy and fresh. Price was a little high. Expect to spend about 30-50 per person. However, I do enjoy my experience and will return for sure.

I am a sucker for a good lamb skewer so when I walked in to visit I ended up order 6 of them. You can order at the kiosk or at the register. My total was $16.99 before tax and tip. The interior of the restaurant is pretty small, but there are a few tables for seating if you're not getting them to go. I enjoyed my skewers and the flavor but thought that they were a little small for the price. I might try some other skewers if I'm in the area but would likely not purposefully make a trip out of it unless going with friends.

Weekday visits are pretty chill but weekend dinner time gets busy, just something to plan around. Also a heads up on parking, the lot isn't very big so when it's packed it can be tough to find a spot. Would recommend carpooling if you can. I have a pretty low spice tolerance but there are still so many delicious dishes to choose from if you look around the menu. The soups are so hearty and comforting. Insider tip: the tofu egg dish is not on the menu but ask for it anyway. It is so worth it and the best way I can describe it is like eating a savory cloud puff. So unique and so good. The service is always super efficient, food comes out fast, and the staff will get you in and out. Every single dish I've had has been full of flavor and nothing has missed yet. Would absolutely come back and highly recommend.

We stopped at Chilispot for a family lunch and overall enjoyed our meal…read more The dumplings were a favorite at our table, while the spicy chicken was my personal standout. It was excellent and had just the right amount of heat. I also enjoyed the smoky ham fried rice, although it lacked the distinct smoky aroma I was expecting. Some of the other dishes didn't quite land for me. The fish soup wasn't my favorite, and the beef noodle soup wasn't especially memorable. The cumin lamb, however, was better than expected and ended up being one of the stronger dishes we ordered. That said, the service was friendly, the portions were generous, and there are plenty of interesting options on the menu. I'd definitely come back to try some different dishes next time.
