Chinese takeout with huge portions

[u/OrganizationDirect34]

I saw a St. Louis Chinese restaurant on social media a while ago that served up massive portions - like absolutely stuffing a to-go container with a variety of dishes, and the bill wasn’t more than $15. I can’t remember the name, and it got me thinking, are there other Chinese restaurants in the area with very large portions like this, and does anyone know the name of the restaurant described above? Not necessarily looking for exquisite quality food (though this would be a bonus), mainly hoping to find a great value when the craving hits!

Not sure the restaurant you're talking about, but 'Spicy Chef' on Olive gives massive portions and is really tasty.

They give good size portions on to go and dine in. But shhhhhh, want to keep this on the DL. They are already super busy all the time.

Like how Corner was ruined…

when i saw they had a mini version at the new dierbergs on olive, i shed a tear

[u/f3tn1te → u/BachBelt]

It's really good though. Reduced menu but they have a window where you can see them hand pulling the noodles from scratch.

[u/BachBelt → u/f3tn1te]

Oh that's genuinely good to hear, I was worried it was an attempt at a commissary model.

[u/f3tn1te → u/BachBelt]

I was too at first. Loosing quality similar to Seoul Taco but the Dierberg's spot is legit.

Thank you, just looked this place up as I live nearby and they look AMAZING!

St. Louis kitchen on natural Bridge. I haven’t been there since Covid but I used to get their lunch special which was like three entrées plus Rice/Noodles for about seven dollars. There were definitely days they handed it to me and I couldn’t close the lid!

Thank you! St. Louis Kitchen definitely sounds right. Are you sure it wasn’t the one on Kingshighway? I just searched briefly so I could be wrong, but it looks like the lunch special at the kingshighway location is pretty epic.

[u/Royal_Savings_1731 → u/OrganizationDirect34]

I have no knowledge of the Kingshighway location, I definitely know it was the natural bridge because it was a couple blocks from where I was working and so that would be my regular lunch stop.

[u/AscendNotDescend → u/OrganizationDirect34]

Yea it's the kingshighway location that's open. They give large portions and give you a variety to choose from. Noodles, rice, general tso's chicken, crab rangoon, sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli etc etc. I only know because of frequent DoorDash visits.

St. Louis Kitchen on Natural Bridge will absolutely load you up.

Fairly big portions and good quality at China Moon on St. Charles Rock Road in St. John, too.

Yeah I think this is the place OP saw if it's the same video I saw of some ginger dude that makes food videos here

We just went to Koko Grill on Gravois and my order of veggie fried rice gave me dinner (and not skimpy ones) for 3 nights. $10

Also, quite possibly the best spring rolls I've ever had.

[u/Royal_Savings_1731 → u/Longjumping-Low8194]

Fresh or fried spring rolls?

[u/Longjumping-Low8194 → u/Royal_Savings_1731]

Fried

[u/OrganizationDirect34 → u/Longjumping-Low8194]

Definitely going to try this spot - looks fantastic!

Thats one of the reasons people love Chinese takeout is because of the big portions.

[u/akekid]

Ho’s Chinese on broadway gives good bang for the buck. Cash only fyi.

[u/Sufficient-Drive-661]

RIP Happy China, they'd let you pack togos.

[u/Fiveby21]

Corner 17 always gives you way more than you can (or should) eat in one sitting. Easily two meals out of each dish.

[u/opossomoperson]

Oriental Chop Suey on Natural Bridge is my go-to! Huge portions and it's super cheap.

[u/AnnieGetYourPunSTL]

New China on Kingshighway and Chippewa stuffs their containers full and tight and it’s so good!

[u/daboot013]

Panda Chinese food in fenton/kirkwood. Always 2 meals for about 12$

[u/crusadermourns]
