Vin Hoa has been a staple in Granite City for as long as I can remember. I've been ordering the same thing for the past 25+ years and that's the Combination B plate - sweet & sour chicken with veggies, fried rice, and your choice of egg roll, crab rangoon, or fried wontons. Everyone I know that goes here has their go-to order. My dad's is the Combo C (pork egg food young) and my mom's is the special fried rice. Some of the best crab rangoon around! Since covid they have gone to take-out only so you can either call ahead or order and wait. Give it a try if you've never had it! read more

Vin Hoa - Combination B (sweet & sour chicken with fried rice & wontons) - Chinese Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

Fast and great food. In a hurry, call ahead. They get busy all the time. Always giving you plenty of sauce packs and red pepper.

It ain't fancy but it ain't trying to be. Solid Chinese takeout at a decent price. Ain't gourmet but it's good enough. read more

Vin Hoa - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

Glad to have Scott back he was missed Jessica does a great job as well she is not as friendly though.

Local spot that always hits the spot. The food is ready within a decent amount of time, but it is cash only.

Good food straight up rude though in every way possible my wife likes their food but if it wasn't for her I'd never come here again

Vin Hoa has been the best Chinese food since I 1st started eating there 40 years ago. They still make the best fried around!!!

Very good food, fast service! Cash only, will definitely be ordering again! Not from the area, and would say it's some of the best Chinese I've had. read more

It's the best Chinese food you can get in the metro east. Some of it reminds me of the old Wing Wah Chinese food in Collinsville, and that was great Chinese food. read more

If you are from Granite City, you are loyal to one of three Chinese restaurants. Vin Hoa, China 88, or Lam's Garden. Vin Hoa has the most authentic Granite City taste. The owner is amazing with faces and names and connects well with all of his longtime customers. Why am I reviewing a restaurant I don't eat at... because people I care about eat here when they come home so the place is worth mentioning. Go Team China 88 read more

Vin Hoa has been located in Granite City since the mid 80's. The food is very good. Their combo plates offer entree, side of rice, and a wonton. I normally swap the wonton for two crab rangoon. They haven't had dine-in eating since COVID hit, but their Carryout business is still going strong. I would highly recommend Vin Hoa if you're in the Granite City area. Their cashier chicken is outstanding and is large enough for two people. read more

Good fried rice and a general Tso with a different spin on what you are used to in most Chinese restaurants.

It's a pick up and take it home kind of place! Cash only! Food is excellent! This place is a GC staple!! The BEST fried rice!

I have been eating Vin Hoa for over 30 years. Hands down the best city style Chinese food on this side of the river. Service is very good and the orders are always accurate. The side orders of meat are phenomenal. The St. Paul's are the best I have had. If you are on the area and want something delicious...Vin Hoa. read more

If you're from the area, you know. Good food. Fast service! Just an all around good experience every time

This restaurant has been around for as long as I can remember. People come back to Granite City and it is their go to. The food is great and the service is good. read more

Best Chinese food I have had in years! Don't miss the chop suey and the crab rangoon. Wish I could bring this place back to Colorado with me! read more

Long time family restaurant. The food has always been consistent and delicious all these years. In my opinion best Chinese I've had.

Chinese take away that sets the bar for Chinese food in the area. In Granite City, you either love or hate Vin Hoa (almost always love but there are some weird people), but you always come back to it. Everyone that I know who has moved away always gets it when they are back in town. read more

Same family has run this business & they are always pleasant. Great food every time .

Amazing food! Best fried rice in the area!!! Definitely will go out of my way in order to purchase from this business!

Good food , good taste. Not greasy nor salty. I recommend Egg Foo Young, Shrimp Fried Rice.

Very good staff, clean bathroom, and the manager made sure I got free food once they messed up my order. Very tasty. Will be back soon!!!

Love this place best for Chinese food. Definitely recommend. Love there Mongolian beef and orange chicken.

This place has been up and down on my food list for years. I have to be in the mood for them and also have cash on my person. I like most of the fried rice options, the crab rangoon is sweet and great ( you get a lot in an order), the sweet and sour chicken is also amazing. If you like leftovers, go ahead and get the full order of everything. They give you plenty of sauces too if you ask. The service is great and the locals tend to call ahead and pick up their order, rather than eating inside. read more

I truly love this place the ownwer is very friendly and greets you like an old friend and great customer service i drive here from st louis just to go here it is also a sit down restaurant and the portions are good The fried rice is always great and is the only place i will go to egg foo young is also great ... great food and excellent customer service is what i look for in a restaurant and this place is great,,, So I wholeheartedly recommend all try it but not on the day i am coming in lol go by and support my favorite restaurant Kenneth smith read more

I do like their crab Rangoon, but I don't use cash a lot and they are cash only transaction.

Vin Hoa has been around since I can remember. I've never been disappointed. Call ahead and pick it up. Cash only but ATM next door.

Best pork egg rolls that I've ever had. So crispy, hot and full of porky deliciousness. They also offer vegetable egg rolls which are just as good. Seriously though, everything here was fantastic. We placed a to-go order for shrimp fried rice, pepper steak, chicken lo-mein and general tso's chicken. All of it was perfect except for the fact that she couldn't make my shrimp fried rice spicy. She didn't elaborate as to why but it was still really stinkin' good. You may have a little trouble finding the place, so look for a bright yellow sign and look directly across from Granite City high school. No debit or credit cards accepted, so walk your hungry butt two doors down to the Regions bank and use the ATM. Highly recommend! read more

Vin Hoa - two cars parked in front of a fast food restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

See all

I have been enjoying food here for the past 30 years. This family owned business serves Chinese food at a reasonable price.

Best Chinese food ever! Friendly family run restaurant! If you haven't tried them you must!

Divey Chinese-American staple. I moved away from this place and still come back despite having Chinese delivery in my neighborhood. The hook? For me, the crab rangoon. For whatever reason, so many places put sugar in the rangoon filling until it's sweet and foul. Vin Hoa's filling is tangy and savory and there's plenty of it, not just a pocket beneath fried wonton nothingness. If they took cards and/or always had a decent meat/veg ratio it would be five stars. There is an ATM vestibule right next door but the fee is $3!!! read more

The only Chinese food my husband and I eat in Granite City! It's the best and very delicious! Only thing you need to know is that they only accept cash. No checks or credit cards. read more

Honestly, my favorite fast Asian restaurant in town since I moved here, and the only one I keep coming back to. The employees aren't much for conversation, but I think it's more of a cultural difference and bit of language barrier than anything. The shop itself is quite small with only a few tables, but they have a ton of foot traffic for take-out orders. I'd recommend calling ahead and don't be surprised if you have to wait a few minutes in line during the dinner rush. Their beef fried rice and crab rangoon are stellar. Don't forget the red sauce! read more

More grease and MSG than one should have to ever experience, even in a cheap Americanized version of a Chinese restaurant. Second star is for the staff, who are at least polite and do a decent job of keeping this small restaurant (there are maybe 8 or 10 tables) clean. read more

My family has been dining on Vin Hoa more than the 31 years I've been alive. Each of us live at least 30min away from the restaurant so it has become tradition to carry out a ton of food and keep it warm with the foot heater in the car cranked on high. I've eaten at a lot of different restaurants and Vin Hoa is the best. Nothing and nowhere even comes close to it. I have to go get some now because just writing about it gave me a huge craving. read more

I moved out of this town 30 years ago, but whenever I'm back I always try to grab something from Vin Hoa!

I ordered sweet and sour chicken and crab Rangoon. They were both pretty good. The inside of the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. read more

My guiltiest of guilty pleasures. This place is such a stereotype. A small Chinese restaurant, tucked into a strip mall, and draws a huge crowd from locals no matter what. I feel like we all hear horror stories about the place, and people from other towns may look down on it, but this place is a gem. There was a common argument in Granite about which is the better Chinese restaurant: Vin Hoa, or the place literally right across the street. There can be no doubt which camp I fall in, and if you're on the other side, we probably can't be friends. Try the fried wonton appetizer and the General Tso's chicken for the main course. Gets me every time! read more

I would have given zero stars if possible - This was the most terrible experience. I ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan, which is a chicken dish that is traditionally mild with mixed vegetables in a white sauce. It came as a chicken and beef dish (with only 4 total pieces of random meat and bone) with onion and cabbage in an extremely greasy brown sauce. I ordered white rice - and of course was given fried. The fried rice was burned and it had large chunks of lunch meat ham in it. Truly one of the most horrible Chinese food experiences of my life. I grew up eating Chinese food daily in NYC and have many Asian friends that are great cooks. This place is the worst. I am only writing this review in hopes of saving even one person from having this food. read more
