Lemay Garden — Restaurant in Mehlville

I don’t know who they paid to give them good reviews recently but there is no way someone ate there that has any taste whatsoever and liked their food!! Currently a 4.2 rating?!?! Misleading… Very close to my house so I thought I’d give it a try. Mistake!!! If you are looking for good Chinese food, go somewhere else. The only thing I enjoyed was the fortune cookie.

1. Slow-There was one woman by herself
2. My Hot n Sour Soup was Hot Sour and a bit sweet….. which was weird
3. my General Tso had hunks of onion broccoli and very old dried out slices of carrot. I’ve never really had anything but broccoli and chili peppers in this dish at other places but ok. Then It had cinnamon or nutmeg in it… REALLY off in the flavor profile… the breading is weird and the meat was tough and chewy. Gross three bite attempts and over it.
4. Crab Rangoon had hardly any filling and the filling wasn’t great anyway. 5)Rice was greasy and flavorless
5. Beef and Broccoli in a burnt tasting sauce and horrible. The “beef” definitely was suspicious 🤨 7)Szechuan Dumplings weren’t too bad, but it was the sauce that made those doable. 8)portions were small for a typical combo plate (then again I’m comparing to other places) but since it all went into the garbage I guess it’s a less waste of food $35 dollars down the drain And then some because everything I did taste or eat came right back out...

I was looking for a good local Chinese take-out place in my neighborhood, and came here for the first time and really enjoyed it. This is a pretty decent Chinese take-out place in South County (I have been to many Chinese take-outs in St. Louis.... and many lack quality, and lack service especially).

This place looked clean, there was ample parking (it's in the Dierberg's strip mall), the lady at the desk was both friendly and sharp, I got my pick-up order efficiently with very little wait, and the food was good. Their crab rangoon was great. I ordered the Chicken Kung Pao and it was very flavorful and spicy as I like it. My partner and I are very particular about our Chinese and Mexican food, and this place got the thumbs-up from us.

The value is good too (big servings for what you pay). I don't understand the reviews saying the portions are "small"? I would have to strongly disagree. The Half size for entrees are pretty HUGE, I couldn't imagine eating the Whole size they offer... (P.S. - as far as combo plates at Chines take-outs in general go, they are actually supposed to be smaller servings... if you want a bigger serving, consider getting the Half...

I got the General Tso combination plate with egg roll and a order of crabrangoo. Let's start with the fact that there was a hair in my rice not only that but the fried rice was white. Fried rice should be brown. So they remade my order minus the rice cause I wasn't eating it and that chicken was nasty as hell. Crabrangoo was just cream cheese no flavor what so ever only thing worth eating was the egg roll. Everything else went in the trash. 1st and last time I will ever go there. $15 worth of food is...
