Chong Wah Restaurant Restaurant in University City

Chong Wah Restaurant in University City is a great spot for Chinese takeout. The restaurant is a total hole in the wall that only accepts cash, but the food is definitely worth it. The menu has something for everyone, from Crab Rangoon and St Paul sandwiches to special fried rice with extra meat. The portions are generous and the prices are great. The staff is efficient, although they don't always offer service with a smile. The restaurant is always busy, so it's best to order ahead on the phone to avoid wait times. The food is usually prepared well and tastes great, although sometimes the shrimp isn't completely deveined. Customers have been coming here for years and it's one of the few original real STL Chinese food joints left. It's a hit or miss with the food, but the crab Rangoon is always good. It's a cash only place, but the food is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!
