Pretty cool restaurant. Great Chinese food menu with a lot of vegetarian options. The wait time is about 15 minutes on a typical dinner to-go. The bakery has some amazing ham and egg baked rolls. The bakery kind of reminds of you of the options at the keloche factory with the fresh stuffed rolls. Also, the dine in area is very chill, round table setup, with a tv in the front. I recommend the vegetarian egg rolls. Great snack on the go.
ALL The bakery counter items are fresh, not stale or overly dense. I've tried 1 of everything in the case. Best fried potstickers I ever had . Even the sauce has a genuine pepper flake flavor. Giddyup.
I've been coming here for Dim Sum (weekends only) for a long time. The menu is clear, and easy to read, and I enjoy the variety of options available. Everything always tastes fresh and light, especially the pastries. Cozy interior and while I prefer coming in winter, summer is also excellent. I love seeing the ducks roast near the front door.
This place is amazing. The food is phenomenal! They offer Peking Duck with a preorder and they have roasted pork that is delicious. On my next visit I'll try the traditional baked goods. They have a custard pastry that I cannot wait to try.
It's located across from Jay's International, a beloved neighborhood market for its extensive selection of international cuisine. I think dine in is closed. I originally got delivery. Try the Yang Chow Rice and the double meat Chow Fun. Today is more Yang. I can't decide if the scrumptious pork is better as is or should I add it to say a mess of Greens. Asian traditional meets African American Soul food. Always a beautiful cultural experience. ❤️

Bakery goods to go are excellent. Great steamed pork buns, siu mai, shrimp dumpling, baked custard buns, and shrimp crepe. Perfect way to build a dim sum feast at home. Extremely budget friendly as well, if you're looking for that. Enough food for two people to over indulge and have some leftovers was less than $30. I would cheerfully have paid twice the cost for that quality and quantity.
Edit: since that review, I've now ordered once for dinner from their main Chinese-American menu too, and it was also excellent. BBQ pork and egg fried rice was just sumptuous with umami flavor. Beef chow fun, dry style, had exactly the smoky wok flavor and toothsome chewy texture I remember from my favorite place back in Chinatown SF. General Tso's chicken was just a perfected version of that dish. Tender chicken, delicate crispy breading, spicy-sweet sauce with enough sliced chilis floating around to give it some respectable heat, though not aggressively so (I like my Thai food medium spicy, for context, and I'd consider this to be mild comparatively, but way spicier than the bland dishes that are apparently well loved in the Midwest.)
This is my new favorite Chinese-American in StL, by a wide margin.
Really good. Good prices, filling, complex flavors. Mapo tofu tasted like it was made by mom, and the sesame balls had a crunchy skin and a bouncy chewy inside with smooth semi-sweet filling. Perfect for a treat!
Wei Hong is my favorite traditional Chinese restaurant in south St. Louis, and is one of the few restaurants that is consistently good each and every time; we've never had a bad experience. The barbecue duck, pork, and poached chicken are divine, and the egg tofu dishes are addictive. The fish and vegetable dishes are on point! You can also get shrimp with heads on or heads off. And the weekend Dim Sum assortment is delectable!!! Wei Hong is a St. Louis institution. I hope they never close their doors.
I was craving for soup and they offer so many noodles soups that you can add what you like in them.
We’ve been eating at Wei Hong for over 20 years, even after leaving St. Louis, and it remains one of the “must-do’s” when we visit. By far our favorite Cantonese restaurant.
Our favorites:
- Salt and pepper squid - I get this dish at nearly every Cantonese restaurant I try and this remains the best version I’ve ever had. Crispy, with nice soft onions/peppers and just the right amount of salt/pepper.
- Hong sue tofu - char siu, bok choy, fried tofu in a brown sauce hot pot.
- Beef with crispy noodles
- chopped beef with rice
And of course, have to finish it off with sesame balls or bao.
My girls love the BBQ pork buns, we go anytime we’re in the area. All it takes is getting on 40 and as soon as they what direction we’re going they ask if we can go to “that one bakery with the good food” and I know exactly what they’re talking about. I haven’t tried the duck yet but it’s on my list of things to try, they look so good hanging there. So yeah, don’t go if you’re vegetarian or vegan, probably won’t the first thing you’ll see after walking through the doorway. Other than that, it’s a great place to grab a bite to eat if your walking down Grand.
