Kim Van Restaurant: A Taste of Authentic Chinese Cuisine in St. Louis

On 12/16, Kim Van, you guys are so awesome! This is excellent and very well prepared !

The food was so good. I got the hot braised chicken with fried rice highly recommend to try. The service was fast. I placed an order and went to the store to pick up and it was ready to go!

I've only had take-out from Kim Van, so I can't say much about the service or atmosphere, except that the staff is friendly when I pick up the food and the place is clean and cozy. But the food! There's a reason why my co-workers and I keep coming here. The hot and sour soup is some of the best I've had in town. Crab rangoon and egg rolls are very tasty. We've had several of their lunch combos, and they're always delicious and plentiful. Yes that's right, you get A LOT of food for your money here. Today I had the pork lo mein (half order) and it's still going to make two meals for me. And I do get some hot and sour soup with every order, it's that good.

Had a St.Pauls sandwich with chicken & broccoli that was on point! Got the sesame chicken combo as well. Everything tastes great!

Best St. Paul sandwich I've found so far. Sometimes a little salty, but still the best I've had. I've tried other food from here, but mainly come for the St. Paul. You can call in a pickup order, which seems to be what most people do. Or you can come wait while your order is being prepared. They have a dining room but rarely have I seen anyone eating there... the wait is usually something like 15 minutes. You ring a bell through the plastic partitioned ordering window when you arrive and someone will come out of the kitchen (if no one is already there) to take your order. This place isn't fancy by any means, and the tables seem like they could use a cleaning. Of note are the plants up front which are seemingly ancient. Lastly, not the St. Paul, but I went in late on a rainy night and had the best egg drop soup I've ever had. It may be because I was the only customer at the time, but I will definitely be back to try for that experience again.

Ate here in June. The BEST Chinese food I have ever eaten!! The food was all so fresh and delicious! I got the General Tso's chicken combination plate with egg rolls. The staff was also very friendly and helpful! I would recommend to anyone.

The first time was great, however went for a second time last night and the food was just mid at best. Went tonight and everything was perfect and hot. Updating review to reflect this.

Was very enjoyable. We ate in. Was super fast, very big portions, and low prices. My kids really liked it also... The curry was super hot but awesome.
