    Mongolian Beef combo plate with white rice, egg roll and crab rangoon
    April M.

    As far as delivery goes, this might be one of the freshest Chinese places in STL. I was impressed by the quality of ingredients, portion size, and spill proof packaging. I will order again for sure.

    Orange Chicken

    It saddens me to leave this review because I really liked this restaurant. In the last few months I've been disappointed in the serving size I've received after ordering the same items for years. Last week I ordered delivery through uber eats- the bogo orange chicken and the west end beef. They both tasted like nothing but sugar. The beef was over fried, it had the consistency of beef jerky. The orange chicken sauce was like an orange/brown glob without any remnant of orange flavor. Even more insulting was both dishes are supposed to come with broccoli. The orange chicken had none at all, the beef had about 3-4 tiny pieces. In all my order was about $40. Definitely wasn't worth the $.

    I can't recommend this place more! The staff is kind, the food is phenomenal, and the portions are generous for the price. One of the best Chinese dishes I've had in STL! You won't be disappointed!

    Buddhist Delight Dinner Combo
    Stacey C.

    West End Wok is a nice and fast Chinese takeout restaurant located in the central west end. I've found this take out restaurant to be very reliable in the past and well priced for the portions. In the past I've ordered their Hunan Tofu, Beef and Broccoli, Fried Chicken Wings, and House Lo Mein. Today I ordered their Buddhist Delight Dinner Combination which comes with rice (white or fried) and any combination of 3 sides (spring roll, soup, and/or crab rangoons) for all for $11.50. West End Wok is my go to spot whenever I am craving Chinese food and it never disappoints. The spring rolls were crispy and delicious and the fried tofu and vegetables in the Buddhist Delight were nicely coated in a balanced sweet and savory sauce. The egg drop soup too was a nice touch. My portions was large and all of my food was ready to go about 10 minutes after I ordered. I will continue to come back here and enjoy their delicious food whenever I have a craving for Chinese food!

    Combination plate general tso chicken with rice and crabragoon
    Timira M.

    I decided to go here for lunch since my co-worker was raving about this place. I'm very particular about my Chinese food. When I arrived, they were a bit busy, and it seems that if you call in an order, you get your food faster. When I approached the order counter, the lady was nice in waiting for me to figure out what I wanted. I settled on the combination plate with general tso chicken, rice, and crabragoon. You also get a soup, which I got the egg soup( not pictured). I'll be honest the rice wasn't that great even with soy sauce. The general tso chicken had a good kick of heat to it, so you may like that if it's your thing. The egg soup I was not a big fan of and ended up not even eating it. The crab rangoon was decent. It wasn't bad but not something I would try again.

    Chicken Lo Mein
    Catherine C.

    I placed a carry out order, it was ready when I got there and the employees greeted me as soon a I walked in! The food was sooooo good and it was still steaming hot when I got back to my house! I recommend this place for takeout and you can eat in as well, it's in the perfect little spot to walk to on a nice day in the CWE!

    The orange chicken was very chewy and the lo mein didn't smell good. Only liked the white rice and the food was ready in 10 minutes.

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.

When you walk in you are always greeted with a smile. The seating is quite close but not so close you cannot walk through. Tables and booths. Very clean and well kept.

The menu is varied with authentic or Americanized "Asian" stirfry and egg rolls. The Pho is outstanding! My goodness, the flavors of the broth, with added ingredients from chicken and beef to vegetarian. What brings it home are the side dishes of flavor bombs they serve along side: jalapeños, bean sprouts, and Thai basil. Add it to the soup and the noodles seem to envelope it all with an explosion of flavor as you slurp even to the last drop. And grab those last leaves or noodles with your chopsticks. It's worth every bite. I highly recommend Mai Lee, as it is at the top of our all-time favorites list.

It's a great place for friends or family or alone too. They to takeout as well or order delivery. The ingredient selection is really impressive and very vegetarian friendly. Everything looked fresh and they refill often. There are also lots of soup base options to choose from plus a stir fry option if you want to mix it up. The make your own sauce station is a great touch too. The staff works incredibly fast at turning tables and keeping everything clean. They only have one bathroom (it's clean) so just be aware for wait times. They also give you one free rice bowl which is a small but good bonus. There's a good amount of seating though I've heard the line goes out the door on weekends. Overall I really loved this place and I am already looking forward to coming back.

    This was my first experience at a hot pot by the pound restaurant. I've only been to all you can…read moreeat hot pot restaurants, so I was excited to try this place out. Apparently, I wasn't the only one because this place got packed by 6p on a weekday! The line was out the door. It can be a little confusing for a first time goer as you enter the place and grab a bowl to select the ingredients you want to eat. The minimum weight that you have to buy is 0.9 lbs, but you really won't know how much your bowl weighs until you get up to the cashier and put it on the scale. My bowl was underweight my first time through, so I went back to grab more ingredients. If I had to guess the minimum cost for a 0.9 lb bowl, it's probably about $16, which is a pretty good price for a hot pot. My bowl weighed about 0.97 and it was way more than I could comfortably eat. The next decision you have to make after you have selected your ingredients is the base and spicy level. I went with #1 Oil splash spicy soup at medium spice level. Now, I enjoy spicy foods, but this was at the upper limit of enjoyability. Although tasty, I think the oil in the broth got to be too much and I will want to try a different base next time. After you pay for your food, you get a number which you take to a table of your choosing and wait for your bowl to come out (they cook it for you). There is a drinking water station next to the free rice station, which was around the corner from the complimentary pickled vegetable station. Overall, positive experience and I would return for more. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2026
