First time ordering from here, it was two hours late and the delivery guy didn't want to give back change (no we were not tipping this idiot). Second time I didn't get my tip out fast enough and the delivery guy called me a b*** for not tipping him. Needless to say I put the money that I WAS going to tip him back in my wallet.

My co worker and I ordered for lunch and were very displeased with what received....i ordered "catfish nuggets" and I received "cod", the fried wontons did not have very much meat...very unhappy about that....my coworker wasn't pleased either...While we understand things happen, I should expect to receive exactly what was ordered...not to mention delivery took more than an hour...if this is how your business operates I will never place another order with your establishment..RespectfullyVery displeased....

Dinners were below average. Egg rolls were good. Hot and sour soup was bland. I had a coupon for free crab rangoon and they did not bring it. I called and spoke with Lisa, she said they would not bring it, they would bring it next time. Poor customer service and an overall bad experience. There will not be a next time.

I placed my order (I order from here often, but will probably NEVER again.) and then I received a phone call saying that they were too busy to deliver to me because I don't tip them enough. WHICH IS RUDE AND NOT TRUE. The first few times I ordered from them I only had big bills and they took my money and ran to the car. Didn't give me any change at all! MORE THAN A $35 TIP! So the next few times I only have them a little bit because I didn't feel that was right. So I called her back and told her to cancel my order and she goes thank you and hung up. I called back and they hung up on me. So I called back and told her the whole story and she pretty much called me a liar! What?! When I worked in the food industry we realized that the customer is your paycheck. You don't treat them like this.

Convenient location, check. Great food, check. Big bang for your buck, check. What's not to like? In addition, they have Americanized Chinese dishes AND traditional Sichuan spicy dishes; all priced at bargains, and not to mention everything I have tried so far has been very tasty. I would definitely recommend the orange chicken, sichuan spicy chicken, and yu xiang pork.Picking up and eating there have been fast and friendly in my experiences. If there's one thing I would suggest, it would be better if the delivery was faster. However, I have noticed it's really efficient lately so I think the place has gotten their delivery system under control - keep up the good work!

What a wonderful discovery!I moved from LA to St Louis half a year ago. I love Chinese food. Wherever I go I would try all the best Chinese food. I've explored St. Louis area with quite a few Chinese restaurants, including LuLu's , the Mandarin House, P F Chang's., etc. Since I like spicy food, and authentic Sichuan food is my favorite.I am a little disappointed that all the so called "best Chinese food" in St Louis are just so so. Until a few days after last Christmas, I inadvertently found Hon's Wok at 4489 Forest Park. I've never heard of this small, plain looking Chinese restaurant, and never expected to have great Chinese food there. But what a surprise! They have some real good authentic Chinese food, especially the Sichuan food I love. Their Fish in Chili Broth is so good! And the price is surprisingly low. Other dishes I like including Yuxiang Pork, Twice Cooked Pork, Sichuan Spicy Chicken, and so on. This is definitely my favorite Chinese restaurant. I would give a five star and strongly recommend it to all real Chinese food lovers.

My current appreciation for Hon's comes down to one point: speed. I ordered online and arrived about 15 minutes later. As I approached the counter, my order was simultaneously being bagged. I left with a fairly large box of very hot food for under $6.This, in the world of take out, is about as good as it gets.I can't say that the hot braised chicken (the only dish I've yet to try here over the years) is the best in town (since the closing of the predecessor to Bamboo Bistro, I haven't quite found a good carryout replacement). The sauce, an unusually bright, smooth red blend, is a little heavier and a lot sweeter than you'd expect. The latter quality overpowers whatever "hot" element you might hope for. The result is far from unpleasant though... especially for under $6.Like similar places, there's little ambiance afforded by the strip mall surroundings, but that's not why you choose Hon's. If you're looking for very quick, pretty good take out Chinese, this is it. If you're looking for exceptional Americanized Chinese food, you might need to continue your search. (...or try ordering something other than the hot braised chicken...).

I just placed an order for food. While calling the lady did not say anything about me calling a restaurant all she said was Hi and asked what I wanted. She then continued to talk to other people in the middle of me putting in my order and never told me the amount or when to pick it up. I've ate here once before and the food and service was great. Hopefully I will not be disappointed like this again.

I'm actually a bit surprised to be writing a four star review for a dumpy little Chinese restaurant in a strip mall but they earned the review.I stopped in for a quick lunch and opted for the general's chicken. I'm not a fan of egg foo young so the St. Paul sandwich was never really considered even though it seems to be what they are known for on Yelp. The place was busy but there was only a short wait for my food to be prepared. It came out as a cashew chicken the first time and I received no push-back or attitude when I told the server that it wasn't what I had ordered. On the second appearance it was exactly right.The chicken was piping hot so I started with the fried rice. Initially, it seemed like average, run of the mill fried rice but I kept tasting something a little different and finally a few bites in it dawned on me - there was a small amount of ginger in there too. Great way to elevate a relatively pedestrian side dish! The crab rangoon were pretty good but nothing that different from what you can get elsewhere. Once the chicken reached an edible temperature I discovered that it was really good. Crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked and tender on the inside. The sauce was a bit thicker than most places but that just led me to pair each bite with some fried rice. I also liked the addition of green onions as it represented another little tweak to something that is widely available.I was out the door for about $7 and will certainly be back...

I am a born and raised san diegan, spent a lot of time in St. Louis because my dad is from there. This crab Rangoon is awesome. I wake up with cold sweats in the night craving it, just kidding. PLEASE consider shipping the Rangoon frozen, at least to me, lol. I am still trying to identify the local wonton labelled cream cheese wonton, they aren't even close to being in the same weight class. They resemble humiliated crab Rangoon:). Thanks Nikki

This place is alright. The lady isn't always the nicest and isn't good with timing. The food is okay. Nothing fantastic or disgusting, just okay. My only complaint is that the cooks don't always move at an efficient speed. There have been times where I have called ahead, walked over to get it, and still had to wait an extra X amount of minutes until my food was ready. I don't think I'll be returning for awhile, seeing as to how there is a better one closer to me.

Well after waiting 45 min for my food. I called. They told me I was out of their delivery range. Cool I'm glad someone told me. The guy on the phone didn't apologize and I guess I should have checked to make sure. But if I am placing an order online I feel like there should be some kind of pop up telling me I'm not in the delivery range. And I was really excited to get some awesome chinese food. Not ever getting food from that place, even a pick up.

I would suggest looking elsewhere in the CWE for chinese food as I really did not enjoy my meal. I got an order of General Tsos and Duck Fried Rice. The chicken was way over cooked and the duck fried rice had so many bones in it, I couldn't eat it because I thought I would chip a tooth. It also took over 30 minutes for me to get my order, which I thought was strange for chinese food. The staff is very nice but the food was very disapointing.

When we first pulled up to the place, we got a good laugh, as it is located next door to a Cat Clinic. After the obligatory jokes about "General Meow's Chicken" and "Kung Pao Tabby" we went in to have lunch.The first thing to know about this place is to skip the stuff that is on the menu above the counter. Don't get me wrong - it's good, but nothing special. You need to pick up the paper menu and go to the section labeled "Authentic Chinese Dishes". There you find some real treasures, zooming with flavor and prepared perfectly. The Yu-Xiang Pork, Beef Tendon w-Noodles, Twice Cooked Pork, Poached Fish in Chili Broth, Ma-Po Bean Curd are all nothing short of amazing. Look around you during lunch: half of the diners are Mandarin speaking Asians and I promise you they are not eating sweet and sour pork.

Oh Hon, you have a good Wok!I only tried Hon's Wok because we had a UYE one night. I don't think I would have ever made it to visit Hon for any other reason. Thanks for hosting such a large crowd.I had the cashew chicken and it was good. Not the best, but certainly not the worst. I am not sure, but I think they used too much sesame oil or something because I could taste it way more in this dish than I ever have before. It was still good though. The Crab Rangoon was awesome! I will give that a 5 stars! So tasty and perfectly delightful.The service was good considering there were 20+ of us there at once trying to order. They seemed to have a good system down and the food was being brought out fresh each time. I think they did a good job.Will I go back? Probably not. Will I recommend this place? Yes. I think it was the typical "American Chinese Food" and I think people will enjoy it.

I recently was enlightened by Tracey W. that I have been missing out on a St. Louis staple the infamous Saint Paul Sandwich.I went with 20 or so Yelpers to Hon's Wok for the Balls to the wall not in St. Paul, St. Paul Sammie whammy. I was excited as well as scared, honestly I had never heard of this mysterious sandwich that so many people seemed to dis.I went with an open mind and low expectations. I was trying to decide what to order the chicken, the beef, the shrimp, so I just went and got the mac daddy of Saint Paul, the special! I was nervous, what if I didn't like it what if I feel betrayed by Tracey and never trust her again, then I realized I paid like $2.80 for it and would probably not feel bad about tossing it if it was gross.It finally came out with the crab Rangoon I ordered and was all nestled in its paper rapper. I slowly opened it and was taken back by the shear ugliness of the Pattie, it was a little like a deep-fried cow pie, I know rite you are like Jeremy please stop now. But I threw my fear to the wind and smothered that bad boy with Sweet and sour sauce and took a big steamy bite. At first I was shocked that I wasn't spitting it out, I mean people were talking about how gross this thing was but I was really enjoying the salty sweet taste and then I hit the monster shrimp hiding inside and was like OK this is one bad ass sandwich. I felt like high fiving someone but I was to busy high fiving the saint Paul with both hands into my mouth. OK so that's my story on the saint Paul, I would most definitely go back for another but need to find someplace closer.I also ordered a combination plate to take home for lunch the next day of General Tso's chicken but tried a bite while I was there and it was pretty much inedible. When they brought it to me, the chicken was so crunchy that I could barely chew it. I ended up letting it marinade till lunch the next day and it was Delicious. But I doubt most people are doing this so yeah one star for too crunchy of chicken bits.Other than that I think everything was pretty decent, but I seriously told the lady at the counter to stock Black Cherry Vess from now on, seriously this is St. Louis!Thanks Tracey W. For making me come to this event even though you really didn't make me.

I have lived in Saint Louis for 32 years and never had a St. Paul sandwich. How did I ever do it? When I saw the posting for a UYE celebrating a sandwich, that I have been avoiding for 32 to years I knew it was time to give in and have one.A crowd of Yelper's meet at Hon's Wok, to experience the wonders of a St. Paul Sandwich. I relied on the guidance of experienced St. Paul fans and ordered the Chicken St. Paul. They assured me it would taste like a Chik-Fil-A.For those of you who do not know, the St. Paul sandwich is only available in Saint Louis. Who else would want to serve this sandwich? It basically is a egg foo young patty served between two slices of white bread. You can give your sandwich more flavor by adding, beef, pork or chicken. They then add lettuce, mayo, dill pickle, white onion and tomato as condiments. Mine did not taste like a Chick-Fil-A, but it had its own unique flavor.It was a little greasier then I'd like, but the Wonder bread soaked it up. Many of the other Yelper's that where enjoying their sandwiches, thought they needed more salt. I on the other hand, thought they were extremely salty. However, let me clarify that by saying, I am not a fan of salt, period.I also, experienced an Egg Roll which was fairly good for a fast food Chinese.The staff was friendly and very accomendating to our large group taking over their dining room for a party celebrating the St. Paul sandwich. Their customer service was so great, I'm coming back to try more of the menu.

Hon's Wok rocks my face off.They expertly accommodated something like 30 people in their restaurant with very few problems last week, and did so smiling the entire time. They didn't bat an eye at all the high maintenance Sally-esque requests for mayonnaise on the side. They just smiled and took one for the team, man.Their food is freaking GOOD, too. It's not freaking Ruth's Chris, people. It's a takeout Chinese place in St. Louis. As far as takeout Chinese in St. Louis, I'm willing to bet this is the cleanest and has the best service. Seriously. Context, people, context.I was extremely jealous when one of the Yelpers (who shall not be named) started chatting in... Mandarin?... with Mrs. Hon's Wok. I feel like maybe she told him a secret or some really good gossip that I missed out on because Class 4 languages weren't offered at my high school. Haven't slept since (the event at Hon's, not high school).Will I be back here? Sure. Although we must take into consideration that it's in the Central West End and it's a Chinese takeout place. But yes, I'll be back. Someday. And you should go there, too. Even though many Yelpers have written about their St. Paul, you can get a St. Paul at most Chinese places in St. Louis. There is nothing special about the Hon's Wok St. Paul, except maybe that you're less likely to get food poisoning than at other Chinese palces. Go ahead and get normal Americanized Chinese food here. Quick, cheap, and easy. My three favorite words.

I am giving them 4 stars (rather than maybe a more reasonable 3) strictly because they seemed to handle the sudden crowd from the UYE very well and they deserve credit for that. That may make little difference when you walk in, then maybe it's just your normal Chinese food place but there you go. I did order the St. Paul sandwich, something I had been looking forward to since I clicked I'm in. It had been years since I had my first and only one and while I remember it being just a blob of a sandwich, it was a good memory. I loved this one ... messy, the mayo, pickles, all falling apart, filled the right spot that night. I also ordered the pot stickers that were pretty good. It seems like most others liked there food but I also have rarely been to any similar place that stands out. Not worth a special trip but if you are nearby, why not.

I went to the Tracey UYE S.P.S. Extravaganza. Where were you? I ordered the "special" St Paul Sandwich. I was guessing this was the best way to go. It was okay. Pretty much what I expected. The mayo was a little weird. Hot mayo grosses me out.I think I've made this sandwich late at night after way too many vodkas. You go to the Philco (fridge) and start grabbing and frying. You bring it all together with about 3 eggs, throw it on bread and there you go. I like it on toast. Not exactly the same but similar.Hao had the hook-up since she speaks Mandarin, they had a little food conver with the owner. I know she seemed pretty happy with her food. Cherie, girl you had enough food for 2 days, your so little too. Darn you. That tofu dish you ordered looked good.I meet a new Yelper friend Tonii, if she puts the east side "like" event together I'll go. Venice Ill doesn't scare me.It is a cute, and colorful small restaurant. Next time I'm jonesing for a Vess peach or cream, I know where to go. The owners were very nice and they busted a move to get that food to the table. We did take up the whole middle of the restaurant. I give them 5 stars for their service

I came here for the UYE. The event was AWESOME but the food was only ok.I shared a st. paul sandwich and decided it was too bland for my taste. Hoping for some salt and pepper, i remembered I was at a chinese place. I then looked for soy sauce. There was none at the table. I ended up stealing some from teh table over.The st. paul itself as really greasy and not extremely appetizing to look at. Maybe I should've asked for gravy... that could be my failure. Either way, I'll probably not want to eat that again considering how much amazing food is in this city. This alone would've earned this place a 2 stars.I also ordered a sichuan style spicy chicken. It came stirfried and very oily with green beans and rice. The beans and chicken were both pretty good... so maybe 3.5 stars for that.Also, the lady working the counter was really nice. She spoke mandarin and I talked with her some. I might come back to try more of her food just to see if there's anything I absolutely love. Maybe I'll get lucky? Who knows.All in all, decent chinese food on the chinese menu, pretty good service, and meh on the st. paul sandwich.

Sooooo this review has two parts:I saw a thread regarding st. paul sandwiches. So I commented and all of a sudden I'm at this Yelp event via an invitation by Tracey W. I went to the Red and Black Ball, but this was different, smaller and more interactive. At the Ball, I saw a friend and talked to him the whole time...no need to mingle with strangers, lol. At Hon's Wok the group was small, maybe 30 people. A 1+ called me just before I was to attend the event so I brought her along, whew! Everyone that I met was so friendly. I had a good time. 5 stars for Yelpers. Now to the food......!!!!I'm a kinda a food snob even when it comes to inexpensive food. I ordered the shrimp st. paul (that was our purpose for being there) and vegetable fried rice. The shrimp st. paul was bland. I was disappointed because I only have those every couple of years. I have not tried the rice yet. It looks good with plenty of vegetables, but not too many. Having it for lunch.Noooooow, if you want some great "fast food, carry-out, Chinese food", you've gotta go over to the ill-side (Illinois). I mean like Brooklyn, Washington Park and East St. Louis, not Belleville or Fairview Heights.Now there are a few customs that you must adhere to for this great food:1. Although any place will have good food, knoooo where you are going. Don't get lost. Lol.2. Use the buddy system. Take a friend or 3 with you.3. Take cash. Most place will not accept a credit card.4. Remember, this is carry-out. You will not have a place to sit and enjoy your great meal.5. Get a Vess soda! Peach or Cream.6. And most important...Order your food and return to your car. There will be a lot of interesting people and conversations that you will want to avoid.IF YOU ARE DARING ENOUGH, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
