I've been a regular at Cate Zone Chinese Café for a long time and usually go once or twice a month…read more I always order the crispy fish and mala tofu, and up until recently, I loved this place enough to justify a 30 minute drive. Unfortunately, my most recent visit completely changed that. I went on Sunday, 11/23, the weekend before Thanksgiving. I worked from 6-3 that day and placed my usual order online around 1:00-1:30 pm for ASAP pickup so I could grab it before their lunch break. I even left work early to make it there. When I arrived around 2:40 pm, I was told my order wouldn't be ready until 5:00 pm and that I would have to come back. I showed them my order confirmation, which originally showed a pickup time around 2:50 pm. Even when I refreshed the website, it showed 3:30 pm, still nowhere near 5:00. The cashier, a young man, was dismissive and didn't seem to care at all that my time had been wasted or that the information given online didn't match what I was being told in person. This was extremely frustrating and honestly unacceptable, especially for a place I've been loyal to for so long. I wasted my time, left work early for nothing, and left without food. As much as I've loved Cate Zone in the past, this experience was enough to make me question whether I'll be returning.

Located in the Delmar Loop, there are a lot of good restaurants but I highly encourage you to check this spot out. While I dined in, it seems perfect for takeout too. The 'Three Cup Chicken' was a big time winner with crispy chicken thighs, cooked perfectly and very flavorful. We also tried the chili oil dumplings, and some sort of magical green tea drink. Service was good, vibes are good, and really it's a great spot. I feel like you could probably point anywhere on the menu and find something that sounds delicious, including their boba and other tea drinks. Go check this spot out!

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.

Not to mention the rude service we received, you have to ask for napkins and basics, which seemed to be a bother tithe rude waitress. She never once said thank you or hello Also not very clean either. I should've turned back around when we noticed the filthy glass doors. However I've been wanting to try this place for a while.

Ordering was easy, just scan the QR code and choose from the menu. We got a few skewers and some main dishes, I was excited to see a few nostalgic childhood favorites like stir-fried tomato and egg, braised beef with potato, and sweet and sour pork ribs! The sweet & sour ribs were super delicious, they tasted just like how I remembered! That said, the portion size was a bit disappointing. For $19.99, there were maybe 8 or 9 pieces of small ribs, which felt a little overpriced. The tomato and egg dish was flavorful and perfect with rice, the braised beef was just okay, the meat was a bit on the chewier side. The skewers were fine too, nothing to write home about. We also got the Sichuan cold noodle, which I do not recommend, it was overloaded with numbing spice and the noodles were soggy. Overall, it was a decent experience with a handful of dishes I enjoyed! I'd probably come here for takeout pretty often if I lived in St. Louis.

Scan the QR code and you can order/pay right from their app. A few minutes later, a helpful runner brought the food to the table. The spicy fries were indeed spicy. Maybe that's "Szechuan" spice but they're hot crinkle cut fries with a ketchup dip. The soup dumplings were very good. Very hot soup inside, so use caution! We also had some "meat on a stick" that was delicious if chewy. The only downside here is that Noodle Story doesn't serve alcohol so no Asian beers or wine or sake. Bummer.
