Kim Van Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Excellent food. Very good lo mein, crab Rangoon, and egg rolls. Very nice people behind the counter.
Some of the best, if not the best, Chinese food in STL city hands down!! Everyone there works super hard to get food out on time and it feels great to support local legends. Keep buying from locals!!
large portions, great food, very fast, and the sweetest employees!! they also recently updated the interior of the restaurant and it looks so nice!!
The best fried rice in city if STL and top tier Crab Rangoon. Period. Not in the best part of town. But i go here often, and its fine. Staff is friendly. Worth venturing out of the way for without a doubt.
Enjoying the food here. Hot braised chicken & St. Paul sandwich was very good. A regular stop.
Inside and out the restaurant looks old and worn. I've never seen anyone dining in, but their dishes are good. Quality is good for quick takeout. I usually order the house special lo mein, sesame chicken, potstickers, and combination fried rice
This is my new favorite Chinese take out in STL. Had pork egg foo yung and moo goo gai pan. Both were tasty, filling, not at all greasy. Rice is fried rice by default. Rice is a little salty, but that's a good thing taste wise. If you are sensitive to salt, request the white rice instead. Items are about $1 more than most similar places here, but so worth it to unbox your lunch back home and find it NOT swimming in grease. The guy behind the counter was friiendly, with a sweet, low-key smile. Brightened my day. Will def be back to try other dishes.
Best Chinese place in the downtown/soulard Saint Louis area. My girlfriend & I usually get the crab Rangoon, orange chicken & Szuanch Shrimp with fried rice and it is always delicious. The building itself does not scream "dine in" so we usually always order take out. Overall 10/10.
Staff is very nice and hardworking. Food was delivered very fast and the wait isn't long at all. The food is also amazing. Especially the crab rangoon and the chicken wings, so crispy and creamy, 100% recommend. They egg drop soup are also very hearty and the fried rice is very satisfying to the taste, not so salty like other restaurants
I almost hesitate to write this review, because then the secret will get out! This spot has quickly turned into one of my go-to's for a satisfying, generous portion of Chinese food for lunch. For just $4.99, you get your choice of nearly 2 dozen different options (king pao chicken, garlic chicken, sweet & sour pork, lemon chicken etc etc) plus a very big portion of fried rice AND your choice of 2 crab Rangoon or 1 eggroll or 2 fried wanton. Seriously: it's at least 2 meals for me whenever I go because I can't finish! I can't speak a lot of the staff since i'm usually getting it to-go and eating outside or back at my office. But they are super quick and efficient every time I walk in. The interior leaves a bit to be desired; however, don't let it fool you. Oftentimes, the hole in the wall places are by far the best!
