Chao Zhou Cuisine

The best! (Compared to other Chinese restaurants in St. Louis.)

Food is okay, nothing really outstanding. They had a decent selection, but in terms of quality it’s pretty much on par with other Chinese restaurants in the area (which is to say, it’s average at best).
Maybe they haven’t gotten around to it, but none of the menus or lists of their items had prices next to them. We were just given a total at the end, so I have no idea how much each plate was. Odd, but maybe that’ll change in the future.

This is the most traditional and delicious Cantonese food in Central America! The best is the desert!

Nice food, good price and transitional Guangdong cuisine. But don’t forget to bring cash here.

After walking around the zoo for the morning, my Chinese friend who lives in Saint Louis recommended visiting this «hole in the wall» Chinese place. It’s owned by a couple that literally runs the place-he’s the cook and she’s the hostess/​wait staff all in one. This is not a place you go to if you’re looking for a swanky atmosphere. It’s down to the bones; get ready to grab your own rice, tea, and chopsticks. Also, all the specials and the desserts are written only in Chinese, though the menu does now include English!
But all that said-​I don’t think I’ve had a better Chinese food experience in StL!
We got:
–Marinated tounge, pig ears, tripe, duck wings, preserved veggies
–stir fried A choi veggies
–preserved veggies with pork belly
–whole pan fried tilapia with jalapenos
–duck cooked with tea
–duck soup with winter melon
And all of it was awesome. The fish took the cake for being incredibly fresh and delicious.
Will definitely be back when I’m in town!
