"January 21 2024: Not sure what's going on, but their making changes and hate to say it not for the better. I've been going here since they opened and now their new relatives are making changes evidently. Shrimp Toast is half the size literally which takes away from the entire taste, you can barely taste the shrimp and its dry not moist. Then the combination Fried Rice had less meat than it did and I ordered extra Shrimp yet it seems less chicken or beef. About the only regular items I order the crab Rangoon and potstickers haven't changed. They need to go back to how these items were made that makes them delicious along the reason they have returning customers. Shame on them for breaking something that wasn't broken. Disappointed to say the least, not sure about continuing to be a customer getting less food for the same amount. This is the best Chinese restaurant in St.louis and not greasy at all, not to mention the choices. My go to is Fried Pot Stickers, Shrimp Toast, Crab Rangoon and finally Combination Fried Rice with Extra Shrimp. Pot sticker are filled with delicious meat always plump, Shrimp toast is so tasty just tell them not well done and it's perfect. Crab Rangoon is my brother's favorite and always nice and crispy. Now the Combination Fried Rice is the best there is so much meat, Pork, Beef, Chicken and big Shrimp. I always get extra Shrimp because it's so big and delicious. Their prices are so cheap it's under $30.00 for all these items along with $5.00 extra Shrimp."

"The food was delicious! Both entrees had great flavors and nice portions (we took most of both entrees home). The beef on the appetizer plate was very, very tasty. We didn't eat the calamari ringa because they were rubbery. Otherwise, everything was excellent. The server was very pleasant and attentive. We ordered an appetizer and had just about finished when our entrees arrived. The place was very empty but it was Christmas Eve. The only downside was the bathrooms. Both bathrooms were unkempt and dingy looking. It's an old building, so it may just look dingy because of the age. We will definitely return to try other dishes."

"Once you find a chair that isn't torn up to sit in it appears ok. Then the fun begins....ordered lemon chicken and egg roll appetizer, did not receive the egg roll. Wish I had not received the lemon chicken. It smelled fishy and had an after taste like it was cooked in a pan with fish oil. Smelled funky. The Mongolian Beef appeared ok, my companion enjoyed it. The place is in need of repair as mentioned about the chairs, also dirty, swinging kitchen door. Hostess in front was washing her hands in bathroom same time I was there. She did not use soap or dry her hands. I will not go back to this place."

"Fast service and decent food. I ordered it to go and it was ready in about 10 minutes. The crab rangoon didn’t appear to have any crab, real or artificial, but it was a solid cream cheese rangoon. The egg roll wasn’t great. I’ve had trouble finding a good Chinese restaurant in the area. Sesame is one of the better ones but I’m not sure I’ll be back."
