Great Dim Sum! – Best Dim Sum in St. Louis. Pricey but dim sum usually is. This is our favorite place to go on Saturday afternoons. My daughter is 10yrs old & picky about Chinese food. She is used to having dim sum in Chinatowns of larger cities. She looks forward to coming here.

Do not eat here!! Too expensive for bad food! – First of all, the reviews that say this place is great are old. I have seen reviews from 2003, and 2006. We ordered takeout dinner on Nov. 25th, 2010. This was supposed to be our Thanksgiving dinner. We ordered chicken fried rice and Yun Nan Chicken. The fried rice was not edible. It looked as if it had been boiled, and the only thing added were a few peas and carrots. There were no spices, no onions...it was very, very bland. We called to ask about it, and were told it was fri... read more

It's okay at best. – This place is not as great as some people say it is. I remember years ago this place used to be the best chinese restaurant in town. However, this restaurant has really lost it's flavor. The quality is mediocre and the servings are decent. I would save my money and go somewhere else.

My Favorite – This is the best Chinese resturant in St. Louis! The food is wonderfuly seasoned and fresh. The service is also top. This is the place I have always gone to after a special event ever since I was a kid. This is the perfect place to get dressed up & gve yourself a special treat.

Good food, but pricey – This is a nice place to eat if you want to spend a little for maybe an anniversary or if you want to impress someone, or even a business lunch/dinner. But not for casual dining. Don't be fooled by the review with the one dollar sign. It's more like 2-3.

Awesome Food – As you walk in the first thing you notice is the way the restaurant is decorated. After that you'll notice the great service. When your food arrives you will find it to be excellent. I also noticed there were a lot of other Asian families eating here.

Make the trek to Overland for fine Chinese dining. – The Scene Open since 1978, the Overland location of Mandarin House (there's a second outpost in Union Station) is getting better with age. From the moment you walk in the door and spy the turtle pond (yes, the turtles are real), you know this isn't your typical Chinese restaurant. There's nearly always a birthday party or anniversary dinner going on, but don't worry about noise. Celebrations are subdued, and you'll never catch the waiters singing. The Food Don't let the fo... read more
