    General Tsao's chicken and crab ragoon.
    amy a.

    It's a hole in the wall, next to the Chevron, with bomb food. I had pork and broccoli and my friend had General Tsao's chicken . Delicious. Fried rice cooked deep brown! Crunch egg rolls. I'd drive out here from JC again!

    Whole orders

    Being a TRUE ST LOUIS NATIVE!! This is the Real definition of home away from home. Me and my family drove over an hour and it was worth every minute !!! the rice, the noodles the Saint Paul, the crab Rangoon, the vess sodas the "sundance "chips. Everything was on point. We got sweet n sour sauce. Not "duck sauce ". The rice doesn't have vegetables because who eats peas and carrots in they "chinamen" ?? Rice was just the right amount of dark !! I could go on for days. But instead. We'll just go back. We gladly spent over 200$ on three adults & 6 kids !! Worth every penny. See you next weekend lbvs

    Chicken St. Paul
    Mahauganee S.

    Anyone from St. Louis, MO understands how hard it is to get Chinese food *anywhere* that is prepared how it is in STL. The struggle is real!! So when some other STL people who now live in ATL metro told me this place was the real deal, I had to come. I walked in and explained what the streets were saying. The owner said "yep, that's where we're from." I replied with one question: does that mean you sell St. Pauls? He replied in the affirmative, so I skipped the menu and went right into my standard order: one chicken St. Paul and a half order of plain fried rice with extra egg and gravy. Dear reader, it was perfection. The St. Paul had the softest bread to ever touch human fingers. The rice was dark brown as it should be and the gravy dressed it right up. I needed to add soy sauce but was so into eating that it was gone before I could. This place is like an hour from my house, so I can't come frequently but I will certainly be back!

    I was not impressed with this place. I ordered Shrimp egg foo young and shrimp fried rice. Wanted a combonation for this but this place does not have an egg foo young combination. So I had to pay for each item separately. I asked the guy was the gravy light brown and he said yes. Which it was not. My total was $17.75 just for shrimp egg foo young and shrimp fried rice which is ridiculous. when I got home is when I found out the gravey was not light brown it was dark something and thin like water. The gravy was nasty . The egg foo young was also greasy. I was very upset. So this is a one and done for me.

    When it's attached to a gas station, you already know the food is going to be good! Taste 8 was highly recommended by friends from St. Louis. Ordering was convenient. You can do this online on their website. They will call you to let you know when the food is ready for pick up. Currently, the location is for pick-up only. You order at the door space they converted to a window. Everyone here is sweet and friendly. Food came in huge portions and piping hot! Ask for gravy on the side for your fried rice. Would definitely come back again. :)

What I found instead felt like a small echo of what the place used to be. The food has shrunk in size while the prices have climbed, which makes the whole experience feel out of balance. I ordered the bao because it used to be the star of the show for me. I still remember the way they were fried on one side before, with that golden crisp that added texture and soul to every bite. This time the bao arrived soft and much smaller than I remembered. The flavor was fine, but the magic was missing. It felt like the memory of a painting that has faded over time. I do want to say that the staff were kind and welcoming. They suggested a hibachi special, which I was not interested in, but they made the attempt to guide my order. Their warmth was the best part of the visit. I left with a sense of nostalgia for what used to be. Maybe the menu has evolved or costs have changed, but the experience simply did not match the picture I carried with me. I hope the place finds its rhythm again, because it once held a special spot in my rotation.

The soup was well balanced and flavored perfectly. The drunken noodles and the sweet and sour chicken were so delicious and perfect portion size. It was perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. My wife and I were very amazed and caught off guard at how delicious our entire meal was. The owner who waited on us was such a delight and took care of us with such a cheerful presence.

When you walk in you can hear Thai music playing and it definitely has an authentic feel to the decor. The hostess we spoke to was charming and helpful and made adjustments to our order with no problem. We wanted to add protein (shrimp) to the kid's fried rice and it was only an additional $7 charge for five very large shrimp in a generous portion. The Thai tea was authentic and delicious, not too sweet. We had the pad see ew, which was perfect. The texture of the noodles was chewy and not soggy, egg was plentiful, chicken was plentiful, they definitely got all the flavors right! We also had the special, chicken rice, and it was so delicious we hope it will make its way to the regular menu. Our new Thai spot for sure. We will definitely be back frequently! :)
