A quintessential American Chinese restaurant. Quite inexpensive, generous portions, food was delicious. Egg drop soup was warm and light - slightly thickened without being gloopy. Crab Rangoon was crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, and wasn't super fishy like some other places. Fried rice was slightly oversalted, but otherwise savory and flavorful. Broccoli Chicken was really good: sweet and savory. The broccoli was tender without being overcooked and soggy. I called ahead, and my food was just coming out when I arrived. The owner gave me directions better than Google Maps to help me get back to my hotel faster, so my return journey took less than half the time as my trip there. Generally, pretty good food, generous portions and great service. read more

Don't recommend this restaurant. Fried rice too salty and all prices are too expensive. It's rice for God's sake.

I have been going to Park chop Suey for years. They are awesome. The food is great. And they treat me like I'm Friend . Thanks so much that you are local available and reasonable. read more

After years of living here in St. Louis I finally found the best place ever, I've ordered so much since I found them and it is all so good, the combo plates hot braised shrimp is my fav and they have the dark fried rice that has the best homestyle flavor like it was cooked on a 100 year old wok ! I haven't been able to Order lately so I hope they didn't close I would be so Upset!!! read more

This is my go to place for Chinese carry out when I am at work. It is a convenient location to get in and out of without any trouble. I work so close, that when I walk in the door to pick my phone order up, it is coming out of the wok. Making it so hot and fresh. I love their fried rice, beef is my favorite. A half order is big enough for me to have two lunches. My lunch yesterday, I wish I would have taken a photo of the crab Rangoon, it was picture perfect and so was the taste. They by far make the best fast Chinese Crab Rangoon I have ever had and I think it may even beat PF Chang's. The two Chinese carry out joints near home, have disappointed us recently. I am thinking the next time we have the craving at home, I will drive the extra distance for Park Chop Suey. read more

My second St. Louis native food feat included a St. Paul sandwich. These are found in Chinese American restaurants only in St. Louis. I heard Park Chop Suey was the place to get 'em. One source has the origin of the St. Paul sandwich dating as far back as the early 1940s, when Chinese restaurants, desperate to attract the American public to try their cuisine, invented the sandwich to appeal to their palates. According to local legend, the St. Paul Sandwich was invented by Steven Yuen at Park Chop Suey in Lafayette Square, a neighborhood near downtown St. Louis; Yuen named the sandwich after his hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota. The sandwich consists of an egg foo young patty (made with Mung bean sprouts and minced white onions) served with dill pickle slices, white onion, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato between two slices of white bread. It was good, but it's probably not something I'd make a point to have all the time. The big, cooked sprouts on an egg were a little weird for me and I couldn't finish the whole meal. Apparently, St. Louis also has their own style of preparing fried rice and crab rangoon, so I added those to my order. The fried rice is darker and does not have peas and carrots in it. In fact, it had nice, big chunks of chicken and as you can see, the crab rangoon is folded into a triangle. And yes, it was very delicious! I must add that I felt really uncomfortable entering and exiting the building. There was a lot of cat calling and as a female traveling solo, I wasn't sure how safe of an area it was. Inside, however, the lady behind the counter was ever so helpful. Very kind and explained to me in the best english she could what I was getting into. read more

Huge Crab Rangoon or maybe just Rangoon because, as usual, I did not get crab flavor. However, I like cream cheese & there was plenty. These massive things do not make think of a kindly old grandma hand pinching closed each. These were power stuffed & machine pressed closed. Real Chinese? I don't think so. Real good? Yes. After reading Steven B description of the Crab Rangoon & knowing I wanted an order vs 1 on a combination plate, I made the mistake of ordering from the special diet menu. (or asking for extra sauce for it) Steamed shrimp with vegetables- The little bit of sauce is put in a little cup and placed on top. Sauce tastes great, but not enough to flavor the steamed food to my taste. I ended up adding sweet-and-sour and soy sauce from the packets... Everything was steamed al dente (The way I like it). The drawback is realizing how much I eat baby carrots. These were not babies. This is normal at these place, but obvious without sauce. Crab Rangoon made me a fan (like Steven B) The miss ordered meal was my fault. read more

Terrible first experience at this establishment. The individual at the front counter was very rude while taking my order. It seemed as though he did not appreciate the business, nor did he care about his job. Upon eating my food, I realized there was a worm sitting on top of my chicken (see pic). Without hesitation, I immediately tossed my meal and the other four meals out. I didn't waste time by calling to complain, however, I did notify the health department who scheduled a health inspector within the next 10 days. Chinese take-out can be delicious, but watch where you eat! If the place looks sketchy from the outside then it is most like the same on the inside! read more

Park Chop Suey - Worm in my food! - Chinese Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

I've been eating at this place since the late 80s and the rice isn't as good as it used to be and the customer service sucks. My rice wasn't hot like at other places when I arrived to pick it up, only 10 minutes later & the crab rangoon was NOT crispy... I was disappointed. read more

We were wanting to try another Chinese delivery in the downtown area. Not impressed. Had one of those experiences with the food where you don't want to even try again. We are huge crab Rangoon fans and these had nothing in them. It was less than a teaspoon in each of the 6 so it wasn't a rare thing. All the food was bland or over cooked. It pains me to say this but I'm even throwing out the leftovers. Bummed and going to try a few others in the area. read more

According to Yelp they deliver. When I called to place an order for delivery, I was told I have to go through Postmates. Considering the fact that Postmates is unreliable, I'm going to pass. The last two times I've used Postmates I've had problems, the last time they never delivered and didn't tell me they wouldn't until after everything was closed. They need to update their listing to say no delivery. read more

Best standard general chicken in the city. Sauce was deep mahogany, a touch spicy and umami, oh my. Good Saint Paul sandwich and fried rice as well. Delivery to near downtown south city areas. If you want get it done take out or delivery, this is it. If you want a dining experience, you didn't want Chinese anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. read more

I don't like you , but I love you . . . Park Chop Suey reminds me of an ex girlfriend that you just can't let go. Sure, she was mean to you. Yeah, she probably cheated on you with a far-lesser man or men. Did she steal your favorite t-shirt? Absolutely! But you just keep coming back for more. I was in the mood for Chinese, which isn't all that unusual, so I decided to take a chance on Park Chop Suey. When I arrived in the nearly abandoned parking lot on the corner or Gun Shot and Stab Wound, I was already having regrets. I hadn't even made an order yet. I could have ran without any ties to this place. But I couldn't say no. I entered the empty room to find a giant menu and two chairs placed in the corner for brave carry out patrons. I could see clearly into the kitchen area, where one worker seemed to be cooking away. I didn't even notice the other clerk until I leaned over the counter. I didn't even move when he saw me, just continued to talk on the phone. Meanwhile, I browsed the menu, trying to plot out my order. Finally, he addressed me after taking another phone call. I made inquiries, and he responded in broken English. Once I was satisfied with his information, I made my order, asking for combo plates of Sesame Chicken and General Chicken. The combo plates came with fried rice, soup, and an appetizer. He didn't ask me which appetizer I wanted. "Can I get crab rangoon?" I asked rather pensively. "Too late," he snapped. "It will cost you extra." He showed me a hand menu, which wasn't sitting out, and explained how each combo plate had set appetizers. Crab rangoon would be 55 cent more each, and the minimum debit card purchase was ten dollars. He had already ran my card, and I didn't have any cash. Annoyed and hot from sitting in the lobby, I took the food home. Much to my surprise, the chicken was actually pretty good! It actually tasted like chicken, and the sauces were better than most that we've come across in our time in St. Louis. Also, I was a big fan of the rice. Park Chop Suey, I know that we got off on the wrong foot, but, baby, can we work this out? Maybe next time we can meet at my place, if you're not busy tomorrow night . . . read more

Ok.. Ok........ I know... 5 stars right?????? WEEEELLLLLLLL...... listen here buddy... As you can tell from my past reviews, I am somewhat a knowledgale "body" when it comes to chinese takeout in the Greater St. Louis area.... What a claim to fame... I know.. But get in where you fit in right? Anyways. Instead of writing a review about a chinese spot the VERY FIRST TIME I try it, I decided to wait. I was tired of giving a place 3 stars one day, that 5 the next.. Or 4 on one day, that 2 the next... Consistancy is key when it comes to me and my chinese takeout. Well.. There are many keys a true chinese gem must possess to get through my 5 start door!!!!! Which brings me to Park Chop Suey... Key#1 they have: A very nice, clearly english speaking woman or man to take phone orders. Key#2 Again... Polite. Key#3 Place order from parking lot on phone, 5 minutes its done and to you. Key#5 THE TASTE,,,,,,, OMG!!!!!!!!! The General Tso Chicken here is by far..... BY FAR, the best I have ever tasted. And for $6.75, you get a big portion of chicken, a TON of pork fried rice, soup of choice, and 3 crab rangoon or egg rolls... The sweetness, yet spicyness of the chicken is the most perfect blend. In fact, I could actually smell the sweet spicyness through the bag whe whole drive home... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... Ok. All in all.. Is you are looking for a whole-in-the-wall GEM of a chinese place, with a very large, very cheap menu. And the best thing of it all, is the food is the best!!!!! read more

So we were on our way to A-1 Wok but decided to stop in here after running across it on yelp. BIG MISTAKE! Ordered 35.00 worth of food, had a mixture of a lil bit of everything from fried rice to the st paul and chicken wings. The rice was sooo freaking dry, it literally soaked up the soy sauce. I don't think they even fry the rice. The color of the rice was barely brown. The st paul was disgusting and tasted like the bottom of the skillet. I never knew you could mess up a st paul sandwich. AND they give you mayo packs instead of putting on the sandwich! The gravy was salty but was necessary to consume the rice. The chicken was OK but lacked any flavor. And the french fries were soggy and a complete waste! Now my stomach is churning and I'm praying I don't have to spend the rest of the night on the toilet!! I hate that I wasted my money and should have followed my 1st mind and kept driving right past this place. FYI... PAY ATTENTION TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!! read more

Park Chop Suey - Chinese Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Bottom Line Up Front: I did not get sick. Ventured out on MLK Day for Chinese. Read up on my Yelp to see what was what and was not turned off by the reviews of Park Chop Suey so I made the short trip. First impression was that it was closed. At 1:15 p.m. on a Monday afternoon there was not a single car in the expansive parking lot of this former service station. The "Open" sign in the window was hard to read in the sunlight but when I tried the door it was unlocked so in I go. The vestibule is small with a St Louis-style "bulletproof" window to protect the employees. A large menu board lists the popular takeout entrees. I opted for my "go to" Kung Pao Chicken which I asked be made "extra spicy" and was informed that KPC already comes extra spicy. When I opened up the traditional origami box I was greeted with fresh, abundant chicken and mushrooms and peanuts with ample chilis. The overall sensation of their "extra spicy" was medium at best, but I was not displeased. The white rice was on the smaller portion size for a "dinner" KPC dish, but it worked. For mama I got the Garlic Chicken. My car was filled with the scent of fresh garlic by the time I got home so I was thinking we had a winner. The dish was fairly simple. Lot of chicken, lot of garlic, lot of cooked carrots. Oh well, the dogs love carrots. Overall, mama liked her dish as well. Got a large Chicken Fried Rice as well and it seemed least loved of my order, but passable. The general impression I got from the wait and the sounds in the kitchen, in what was formerly the garage-side of the ex-service station, is that the food was made somewhat fresh to order and not just slopped out of some buffet warming table into styrofoam to feed the delivery orders. While I waited, 2 additional takeout customers arrived, one obviously a businessman from his attire, another college-age patron. While I've certainly had better Chinese takeout in my lifetime travels, I'm definitely a future Park Chop Suey customer. Next time I'll try delivery and I'll Yelp it if there's a significant need. read more

I can only speak for the "Chicken Broccoli", which I can only assume is supposed to have an "and" in the middle. The half order came to just around $6, and honestly exceeded my expectations. Flavour was perfect, came scorching hot, with just enough rice on the side for my liking. The location and atmosphere (empty "pick-up only" style place) definitely leaves something to be desired; but if you're just concerned about your taste buds and your wallet, then I would say give Park Chop Suey a shot for sure. I literally could not start the car and drive back to the hotel because the food was so good; I couldn't stop eating. Bonus- If you don't feel like making the jaunt down to the area, they now offer delivery through an online food delivery network: www.skipthedishes.com read more

Park Chop Suey - Delish sweet and sour chicken! - Chinese Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

My wife and I ordered Chinese delivery from Park Chop Suey thinking it might be good to check out more Chinese restaurants in St. Louis. We ordered pork fried rice, egg rolls, and beef with snow peas. The food came quickly and was nice and hot. The food tasted fine. The egg rolls were too crispy and hard on their shells. The fried rice was too salty. But the beef and snow peas was really good. The snow peas were crisp and fresh and the beef portions were generous. The dinner was good enough, but we'll probably skip next time. read more

Tried to do the Delivery but it cost too much. So I decided to pick it up. I ordered Half order of Pork Fried Rice and Cheese Fries. I pick it up and go back to work. To my dismay the cheese is minor more so not even there. I basically called and said 'WTH?" The guy told me 'dont order no more'. I called him a 'F$#$% for being rude.Waited a few moments and tried to call back to and get a refund but they ignored my call. I drove back only to get yelled at by the dark haired lady at the door 'Im not dealing with you. You causing problems with the delivery.(they never delivered it) We dont return food. (How the hell do you not return food at a restaurant) lol. I pushed the food back to the lady and walked out. Went to White Castles as I should have done in the first place. I am going to the BBB. Terrible customer makes ANY place bad.. PS. Did not get my money back. read more

Park Chop Suey - ..these are the 'Cheese Fries' that they gave me for an extra $0.55. Like really?!?! - Chinese Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Fast. Reliable. Delivery. The food is good - exactly what you would expect from solid Chinese take-out from a hole in the wall Chinese restaurant. Best part for me, and the reason I gave 4 stars, is that they deliver and do it quickly. I seem to be just beyond the delivery range for a few different restaurants, and while Park Chop Suey is actually a little farther they never quibble about how many people I'm order for or if I am purchasing $20 or more (Red Door, West End Wok). I also have a severe peanut and nut allergy, and I felt comfortable that the gentleman taking my order over the phone understood the severity of my allergy. read more

I ordered a shrimp Saint Paul and order of crab goons and everything was tasty and warm. My total was 7.30 something but since I used my debit card it was an additional fee that I didn't mind paying. Place was clean and it didn't have an odor. Took them about 7 mins to get my order ready. I also like that they put the mayo on the side and not on the sandwich. read more

Whaaaat! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy found a good chinamen around my house. Usually they're lacking somewhere but I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Location is awesome and the last delivery was 15 minutes exactly from when we ordered. Food was piping hot but did not taste like it was reheated. Fresh fresh fresh!! The 5th star really goes towards their crab rangoons...OMG. I broke down to my babe why their crab rangoon was awesome and I will share again! they're folded like triangles so whatever bite you take ur getting the cream cheese and enough fried crispy whatever it is. Most other crab rangoon is folded true wonton style where you have to break it apart or just get too much cheese or just crispiness!! Just for the prices and crab rangoon alone I'm a fan. read more

We first ordered from Park Chop Suey about a year ago, and were really disappointed by the overdone chicken and the fact that everything tasted burnt. Last night we tried it again, figuring that hey, maybe the cook had a bad night. If anything, this time was worse. The vegetable fried rice had a disgusting burned flavor and the crab rangoon was disappointing, at best. I'm not picky when it comes to hole-in-the-wall chinese places, but this place is gross. read more

Not the quality of Chinese food you'd find at, for example, a PF Chang's, but this is fast food Chinese/Chop Suey. So with that in mind, it's good and can satisfy that hankering for some Chinese. I order the Orange beef and Sesame Chicken repeatedly, and the fried rice is greasy and good. It's a takeout place, no dining in. read more

Delivery. Straightforward, tummy-stuffing chinese counter. Other reviews' pricing not accurate for dinner delivery. Paid $20 for full order of general's chicken with crab rangoon with delivery tip. comes with steamed rice; TONS OF FOOD. typical communication difficulties with phone order; food came when promised and was hot! perfect to satisfy the i'm-not-leaving-who-is-fine-seeing-me-in-my-PJs-with-pinot-grigio-in-my-hand-craving that I only get once a year or so. read more

By far the worst Chinese food I have ever swallowed. I feel like this place serves rat food. The rice is dark brown and nasty and the chicken is dripping with fat. Honestly I took one bite and had to throw it all away. Was a complete waste of money. Don't be fooled. This place has super bad food. Trust me. read more

Ordered the orange chicken and was throwing up all morning. wouldnt recommend unless you want food poisoning

I love this place! I only live a few blocks away, and when I want Chinese food, this is my go to place. The food is awesome -- not your run of the mill Chinese -- and very inexpensive. I always rely on them for delivery when I don't want to leave the house, and they are so fast -- way freakier than Jimmy John's! Tonight I called them to make an order and less than 15 minutes later they were at my door. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up! read more

The food was totally disgusting and inedible. I have no idea why anyone would give this place a good rating unless they have no idea how Chinese food is supposed to taste. The pot stickers were huge and had some kind of disgusting, unidentifiable meat that was not cooked enough. The rice was tasteless, the eggs and onions were old. We ended up throwing this food away and will never order from this place again. read more
