Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Takeout was hot and delicious.

This place beats P.F. Chang's any night. I recommend any of the specialties, especially if you like seafood. They offer family dinner specials that include soup, appetizer, entree, and desert for a very reasonable price (starting around $14/person). They also have a Chinese language menu.

I really wish I could give this place a better rating. The atmosphere was ok. We went on a Friday night around 7. It took a while to be seated. Tables were open just took someone a long time to seat us. There was a young girl cleaning off tables but seemed to make a bigger mess instead. She dropped things and just left it on the floor and in the seats. There were 3 servers. The server we had kept apologizing how busy they were when the place wasn't even packed. It took forever to order then when we got our soup we had to wait for utensils which took another 10 minutes. The 3rd server kept walking around and "cleaning" off tables. I figured he was scheduled to be off at 8 so he didn't want to wait on any tables. Right at 8:00, he walked out the door. We finally got our food but again had to wait for more utensils and had to ask twice for refills. The two tables near us both looked unhappy and complained. There was a lady that was messing with the cash register and printing off receipts I assumed was counting the cash drawer. Maybe she was an owner or manager. She should of been more worried that one of the servers is running around instead of worrying about the register. If the staff would of helped each other out, the service would probably been better. The food was awesome. The crab Rangoon and wonton's were delicious. I really wish this place would of been better. I'll try the place again one day but will probably do carry out instead.

"Your duck is cooking even as we speak. It is so succulent ... So succulent!" Ok, so our host Mr. Guo isn't exactly Seinfeld's "Poppy," but he is just as animated. Sure, there is a language barrier (a request for a lemon wedge leads to a lemonADE, and a conversation about gluten-free white sauce results in a shaker of white SALT. But he is SO friendly that you just want to smile and say, "Thank you very much!" The duck (with Chinese vegetables) is pretty good, too.

Went for lunch. Food wasn't bad. Preparation of the meal was exceeding fast which means dishes are prepped and ready to go for lunch (dunno about dinner). That's makes me weary as to how long they are sitting in wells on the line in the kitchen. I got the hot braised chicken combo which lacked and crispiness at all which in turns means I didn't make it before they rotated the morning stock of food. Hopefully it's not zip locked n served the next day to patrons. Waiter made me feel rushed which was kinda nuts seeing as there were 6 people in total in house. Point blank if you want a fast cheap lunch by all means.

Great, actually authentic Asian cuisine. This is definitely upscale chinese for a great price. Great for takeout. They also have amazing lunch specials, lots of food for a great price.

Every time I think of this place, I can't help but giggle. The interior is nice: clean, with high ceilings and nice pieces on the walls. It's in a good location, right off of 157. The food is your typical Chinese food, though a bit pricier and for no apparent reason. I had the appetizer sampler that comes with a variety of fried goodies, some suspicious looking chicken wings, and a little fire pit in the middle. It wasn't all that amazing, but came with a lot and offered a wide variety (not to mention the built in entertainment of your own personal fire). But my giggles come from the service side of things. Our short, middle-aged waiter man was brash and bossy... and hilarious. I'm not sure that he was trying to be, so I stifled my dinner-time laughter. But I thought he was great! Average food, entertaining service!

I really can't understand why this place isn't ever busy - at least not when I've been there - which is many times. Stopped here on a Friday night because all the other nice restaurants in town are very difficult to get into on a weekend. The food is very good, the best Chinese in town (i.m.o much better than their less classy neighbor, Wang Gang). Wanting great food with no wait? Give this place a try.

Fresh and authentic! Food is made to order and can be customized. The service is attentive and personal. You feel like a regular at the second visit.

Our family was traveling back from Wisconsin to Missouri and we found this great place thanks to fellow Yelp users! There is another Asian restaurant next door but we are glad we stuck to the great reviews about this place. It's a very large and spacious dining room and there were only 6 other people there when we arrived. That's unfortunate considering what good food they had! We ordered the crab Rangoon, vegetable egg roll, vegetable Lo mein and the traditional Chinese style Kung pao chicken (from the Chinese menu) and it was all very delicious. The Lo mein wasn't too oily and it was full of flavor. The Kung pao chicken was fresh, flavorful and fantastic according to my husband. It had just the right amount of spiciness. Both entrees were pretty large portions so be aware of that when ordering from the dinner menu. Our bill came to just under $30 with one added drink. Would have been cheaper with no appetizers and water but it was all worth it! The waiter was friendly and the service was good. The bathrooms were extremely clean. The place next door looks like a cute and fun place to eat but please take our advice and give this place a try! They've been there for eight years and we will plan on stopping in whenever we make the drive to and from Wisconsin! We really liked it and hope you will too!

Too bad I live an hour away from this restaurant. I've been on a search for good Chinese for ages and I think I'd be a regular here. I went to lunch and expected the typical Chinese decor and was pleasantly surprised to find a very cozy and comfortable atmosphere. I don't think I would choose this place to hang out and drink a few beers with my buddies, but it had a nice bar set up too. Our server/owner maybe? He was very attentive and on the ball. This guy couldn't stay busier. As soon as he was finished tending to his tables, he'd go off in some other section of the restaurant and sweep or wipe something down. I'm not a health nut, but I do try to make better choices now and then and they have a "weight watchers" section in the menu. I'm not sure if they understand the actual company or weight loss system of "Weight Watchers," but it is lower calorie/fat selections. I think they call the selections that because they are for those who are watching their weight. Basically these items are non fried, sauce on the side dishes. Food came out lighting fast and was presented pretty good. The ingredients seemed very fresh and had good flavor. I think this place might be really good for eating unhealthy Chinese selections. I would love to come back and have their fried rice or schezuan chicken.

Great food! And last couple page of mean are real Chinese food. I am a Chinese who was growing up in Chinese! I felt blessed I could find a restaurant near my place have real Chinese food! Now I am a regular for shangri-la.:))))

The food is pretty good, (how about some crab in the crab Rangoon, tho?), but the "spicy" marked items are not hot at all. I gave the restaurant a lower score because of the miserable atmosphere and a couple "no no's" We probably will order carryout at some point, but I doubt if we will sit down and eat there again. The hostess seated us while she talked on her cell phone, pointing toward a table. Then, the hyper owner jumped out from behind us and indicated, "NO Sit Here!" There were many empty tables in the area, so we did not know why it was important for us to be seated next to a large group of people with kids who sat forever after they ate, talking. Some of the kids were running about and dancing right next to us. As with the other businesses in the strip mall, the ceilings are metal and sky-high. Add that to hard floors, and the noise level is awful when people are talking and children are running about. The swinging doors to the kitchen squeak loudly, every time someone goes in or out. We ate quickly so we could get out of there. Owner: for the comfort of guests, get some WD-40 for the doors; some sound-absorbing materials, maybe ceiling baffles or a floor covering; and fill up all those empty soy sauce bottles on the tables.

Wow! I can't believe how good this place is!!! I ordered take out Mongolian Beef lunch special. I got fried rice, two crab Rangoon and egg drop soup! All this good for $6??? Delicious! Try it and you will be glad you did

Easily the best Hot Braised Chicken I've had anywhere. Portions were large too. The regular order of Hot Braised Chicken (C8 on the menu) would have been enough to feed two. We recently moved into the area and this has just become our go-to Chinese place. Looking forward to our leftovers, as well as our next visit, which is sure to be soon!

Best Chinese I've found in the St. Louis region. Lots of flavor and not too greasy or oily. Even though I live in Missouri I will drive all the way to Edwardsville to go to this place. It's that good! Oh, and the decor is cute and the service is quick and friendly. The host greets you like you are his long lost best friend that he hasn't seen in 30 years. It's hilarious. And don't miss the crab rangoon!
(5)Eric C.
This is our go to for Chinese in the Edwardsville area. I'm fairly certain they put crack in the generals chicken. Yes it is that good (possibly the ginger). No MSG!! No fish tank. All Chinese restaurants should have a fish tank or two or three.
(5)Jessica B.
When you walk in on a Friday & there's nobody else in the restaurant you admittedly panic a little, but in this case, it wasn't at all warranted. The food was very flavorful & the server was attentive! We had the general tso's chicken, cashew chicken & egg rolls with sweet & sour, & we liked it all. My only complaint is that the center of the egg roll wasn't hot. I have no idea why this place isn't busier!
(5)Jason V.
Eh it was alright. Nothing special, just plain Asian food. Price wasn't very nice, and neither was our waiter.
(3)Eliz O.
I like the decor in this place. The food is just okay. It's super fast though, if you are dining in you may be in and out in 20 minutes! That's the same with takeout too. You may not even have to call ahead, the wait is only a few minutes, which makes me wonder, what the heck is going on inside that kitchen. Every time I am there, there is a man that is a barman/waiter/host. He always has the same facial expression and it feels like he is screaming at you when he talks to you. It's pretty funny! The food portions are huge and I am not kidding! 2 people could eat on one entree and there can still be leftovers. The taste is just okay, not my top Chinese place.
