This is one of my favorite authentic Chinese spots in Stl. The food is amazing and they have an extensive menu. It's a very small place and near WashU's main campus, so I usually go off hours or order ahead for takeout. The food takes a bit because everything is made to order. It's counter service, meaning there aren't any regular servers. Nevertheless, the service is always good. I always order the mapo tofu and crab rangoons. They're HEAVENLY!! read more

Vegas Wok - 10. Mapo Tofu (Pork) on Rice - Chinese Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Vegas wok is a small, casual restaurant with great chinese food and affordable prices. My favorite is probably the tomato and egg with beef over rice but I've never had anything I didn't like. The food is always freshly made and comes with steaming hot. The restaurant is pretty small so there isn't too much seating but the tables that are there are cleaned frequently! read more

Vegas Wok - Tomato and egg with beef over rice - Chinese Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

We shared the General Tso Chicken and Vegetable Lo Mein with tofu. The sauce with the General Tso Chicken didn't taste quite right. It seemed heavy on vinegar. The Vegetable Lo Mein with tofu was much better. Fresh and hot we ate all of it. Small place on a side street off the Delmar Loop. Very quiet chill vibe. read more

I'm mad at myself for the amount of times I've walked past Vegas Wok. It's absolutely delicious. Every time I've had it, it comes out sooo hot. The portions are huge and shareable, which I love. It's always busy when I go inside but my food doesn't take long to come out. They have a lot of authentic dishes on their menu that are worth trying. The lady at the counter was very friendly when we placed our order. It's a little small location and there's only a few tables inside. Everytime I'm in the loop, this will be my go-to. read more

Update 3 years later: After living in Chinatown in NYC, I can say with confidence that nothing holds a candle to the quality, service, or price of Vegas Wok. Not only is it the best place on the loop, this spot is a serious contender for the best fast casual Chinese American restaurants nationwide read more

I think I'm the only washu student that wasn't crazy about this place :( I guess it was ok but there was nothing about it that really compelled me to want to go. read more

Vegas Wok is located in the Delmar Loop on a side street called Melville. Since I had already parked in the Loop for my hair appointment, we walked over. The restaurant is a small, quaint spot that's pretty much quiet except for the sounds of people eating their food. Our food was out within 5 minutes from ordering. First came the appetizers and then our entrees. I ordered the orange chicken combo plate with Crab Rangoon. My friends ordered General Tso's chicken, Lo Mein Noodles, egg rolls, dumplings and more Crab Rangoon for us to share. When I bit into my first piece, it was piping hot. I had to let it cool down! Once it cooled down a bit, the red chili came through really strong - and a bit too much for my level of spice. I loved that I could see actual orange zest throughout the sauce. You only get two pieces of broccoli and a healthy serving of white rice. I would love to come back and try some more dishes. This was definitely a hidden gem! read more

Vegas Wok feels like a little hidden gem. It's located along the Del Mar Loop area down one of the smaller streets, and has kind of limited seating. It feels pretty authentic and unpretentious, and the assortment of dishes is very homey. Service is so fast for a sit-down place of this quality, and it feels like their entire staff is well-trained for this. The food was also very affordable, and it makes for the perfect quick comfort meal. I ordered the beef tomato egg with rice, and it came out probably in 5 minutes steaming. The beef was so tender and flavorful in a way that juxtaposed with the tomato sauce's sweetness beautifully. The egg was perfectly cooked (not soggy, not dry) and added nice texture. The tomatoes were also very well cooked in that they weren't soft or too hard. Truly can't complain about Vegas Wok, and will likely be back whenever I feel like I need a home-cooked-esque meal. read more

I went to get to go from here last night. I called in my orders. I got the beef mei fun, minced pork with eggplant and beef stew rice noodle soup. They all taste pretty good.

There are a lot of Chinese places on the loop that have come and gone, but I hope Vegas Wok is here to stay! This is such a great place for good, authentic Chinese food that always hits home and is super affordable with generous portions. Many of the dishes that come with rice are just about $10 and their prices haven't gone up much at all in the past few years. It's the perfect spot for students who are coming and going from the loop to campus. While there are only about 4 tables for dine in since it's a small space, ordering take out is always fast and the staff at the counter are always so friendly. My favorite dish is the minced pork with eggplant on rice, but there are so many others that are amazing and that you can't go wrong with! read more

A small hole-in-the-wall place off a corner of the Delmar loop. It looks unassuming outside but the food we had was so good. We had the tomato & egg w. Beef and Minced Beef w. Eggplant and they both came out quickly and PIPING HOT, the way it should be. The eggplant was a bit salty but still really good. Very home cooked meal style. You order and pay at the front before the food comes out. Only street parking and the few spots at the back available to park. read more

I had shrimp lo mein and crab Rangoon. There were about 7-8 dime size shrimp in the container. The noodles were ok. The crab Rangoons were really sweet, not what I'm used to and not my preference. I tried the vegetable fried rice and that was pretty good slightly better than the noodles. There is street parking. Worth trying. read more

I ordered the beef and broccoli and beef lo mein. You get a lot of food, but unfortunately the food lacked flavor and was just ok.

Happen to walk by this place in the loop and gave it a try. It is a small restaurant with delicious food and an extensive menu! The seating was limited but we were able to get a table. The food came out pretty quick (no more than 15 min wait) Both dishes we got were pretty spicy but very tasty!! Will definitely go back. Affordable, quick, friendly staff read more

Around 1400 on October 31, I was in the Delmar Loop and decided to stop by. I found parking near the bank. Street parking wasn't available at the time. I glanced over the menu and decided on plain lo mein spring rolls, and canned soy milk. It took ten minutes or less to receive the order and there was very limited seating. I settled on patio seating outdoor. Walking to an open seat, I passed 5-10 people dining in that I immediately regretted ordering so plainly. The menu had much more to offer than that. However, I will say my meal was delicious and who would've ever thought canned soy milk would be a decent pairing? I would visit again! read more

The food was quick and the general tso's had great flavor. The breading on the chicken was definitely too thick to the point where some pieces only tasted like breading, but it was overall ok. The rice and crab Rangoon where yummy, but the Rangoon could use a little more filling. Small eating area so I would recommend eating outside or ordering to go. 7/10 read more

Ordered Mongolian Beef and it's more like Mongolian Onion. I had maybe 5 pieces of thin sliced beef in this dish. Also, got the combo and I didn't get my egg roll. Maybe other dishes are better, but this sure wasn't. read more

Vegas Wok - Mongolian Beef, but where's the beef?!?! - Chinese Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I don't rly know why so many talk about this place because the food is just mid for me. It's located on delmar loop and the shop is quite small, holding only a few tables. The price is pretty reasonable. I got the pork and rice the first time I went. It was ok; kind of bland with no fresh flavor. I had a problem with how greasy it was as it was swimming in oil. It did fill me up though. The second time I got the beef stew with noodles, thinking nothing could go wrong with a classic beef noodles. Again, it was ok. Weak flavors, too salty and too oily again. The noodles were not chewy enough and did not absorb the flavor. A bit underwhelming. I'll try ordering something else next time. read more

Vegas Wok is a hidden gem for Chinese food in the Loop! They have a diverse menu with quick service. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the delicious aroma in this hole in the wall restaurant. The cashier knew the menu well and told us about some of the vegetarian options listed below. You seat yourselves after ordering at the register. The first time we came here we ordered the dinner combo Szechuan chicken and the mapo tofu with pork. The Szechuan chicken came with a lot of veggies but unfortunately the chicken portion was quite small. The mapo tofu with pork was plenty and had a nice spicy flavor, but we felt that the numbing peppercorn was a little too much. On our second visit, we ordered the Singapore noodles and the braised beef with Szechuan oil sauce. The Singapore noodle is great bang for your buck because it comes with egg, shrimp, and chicken. I'm not a fan of the curry flavoring of the noodle, but that's just my personal preference - I would still recommend it since it was really well done! My favorite so far is the braised beef in Szechuan oil sauce. The beef was tender, spicy, and full of flavor! For you vegetarians out there, the staff told me the following are vegetarian friendly! - Vegetable fried rice - Vegetable lo mein - Dinner combos 19-22: Steamed mixed veg, Kung pao tofu, Broccoli with tofu, Vegetable with tofu - Chef special #9 Mapo tofu with rice (ask to remove pork) - Chef special #11 Tomato and egg with rice (ask to remove beef) Overall, Vegas Wok offers delightfully savory dishes which are superior to the classic Chinese take out in STL. Will be back for more! read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally got to try it. Mainly wanted to try the spicy beef soup with rice noodles. But decided ro order a few other things since they looked pretty legit. Also ordered the beef lo mein, mapo tofu, and crab rangoons. Everything I had was amazing!!!! So goooooood. The beef soup was perfectly spicy with nice fatty brisket pieces. The mapo tofu had that tingly peppercorn szechuan tingle. The lo mein was also flavorful and delicious. And can you ever really go wrong with crab rangoon?! Will 100% be adding this to my go to list of restaurants. Can't wait to try what else is on their menu. Also got it to go and everything was still amazingly piping hot when I got home! read more

Wonderful Chinese take out! The menu was a mix of American with some authentic Chinese too. We choose the Minced Pork with Eggplant, Pork with Garlic Sauce, and Roast Duck Rice Noodle Soup. All were delicious! The Pork with Garlic Sauce had a mixture of veggies (which may have included peppers, dried ear mushroom, celery) and perfect rich flavor and great spice. We also enjoyed the Roast Duck Rich Noodle Soup's spiciness and fresh noodles! It had a few pieces of roasted duck that were not too bad, plus egg and broccoli. We Also have had a lot of eggplant stir fries and this was one of the better dishes! Not a spicy version, but the eggplant was tender and the pork added a great hint of texture and flavor. Overall so many more dishes to try. I hear there is also a secret menu??? If this is true, it would be fun to have someone help translate and try some of the special dishes. If you want excellent Chinese takeout, this is your place! Go and eat! read more

Food and service were excellent. It's mostly a takeout place with a few places to sit if you want to dine in. No atmosphere here but clean. I ordered the Beef Stew Rice Noodle Soup. The broth had a rich, deep flavor and really made this dish. The beef was tender with some fatty pieces that enhanced the mouth feel of the stew. The noodles were spaghetti sized but with that pleasant texture and lightness that good rice noodles have. The dish was very satisfying and hit the spot for what I was craving. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes here. read more

It's rare, especially post COVID, to find a place whose prices are still affordable for take out. THIS is a place that feels appropriately priced! And as an Asian American, more often than not it's cheaper and sometimes as easy to cook such cuisine on my own. But sometimes you just want it done for you, and this I think will now be a go to place for quick and fresh Chinese take out. It truly tastes made to order, both dishes ordered were flavorful, had great textures, and didn't need to be covered in soy sauce to be salvageable. In fact we didn't add any at all! read more

This time around I had the eggplant and pork over rice, as well as the the pork with garlic sauce over rice. There were huge portions but the taste didn't do it for me. It was a general salty and bland flavor, which was disappointing compared to the flavorful general tsos and Mongolian beef. I also wish the pork was in larger chunks than it being ground. read more

This place is hands down one of my go to spots for Chinese food in STL! I mainly fell in love with the crab Rangoon but I ended up trying other dishes and everything was so good.

Wonderful service and I cannot wait to return! read more

I love the Singapore Noodles they are very flavorful and amazing. They are very busy but make the food fast. I will return

This place is absolutely delicious. It fits the perfect crowd by having a menu consisting of tons of delicious Americanized Chinese dishes, as well authentic dishes. I haven't yet tried there authentic dishes but what I can say is that their American dishes are awesome. I had the Mongolian Beef which came with a delicious savory sauce, crisp vegetables and tender pieces of beef. They are also always packed with international students whenever I go so they must be making some delicious authentic food as well. This should be your go to take out spot for all things Chinese. read more
