Wei Hong Bakery — Restaurant in St. Louis

I had a very very very bad experience at this restaurant. When we (my significant other and I) were seated we were the only table seated with forks instead of chopsticks (which was an automatic assumption that we didn't know how to use them). The waitress asked us what we'd like to drink and then left to get the drinks. After her return she pressured us to hurry with our order and was outwardly unhappy when we weren't sure what to order. Then the waitress offered me General Tso's chicken, which is the most generic and common dish on the menu, to just get me to hurry. Our food took a very long time to cook and we were never offered a refill on our water, I had to ask for a refill. Then once our food came out (BBQ Pork &Rice and Beef Curry on Rice) the curry was half beef and half fat. It honestly looked like they chopped up beef and threw it in without removing ANY fat. When we left to check-out we mentioned how much fat was in the curry and the waitress/cashier laughed and asked "You don't like fat!?". She then explained "Well, some pieces have more fat than others, that's how it is". Terrible service. We got the feeling that our poor service was because we were white people in a Chinese restaurant. The offer of General Tso's Chicken and the fact that we should like fat...

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...

I love this place as well as everyone in my family. Just be careful when you are doing your wedding cake here. I requested a certain color for the wedding color, and it wasn't the right color at all. My mother and I went there on THREE different occasions to talk to someone to confirm that everything was okay with the wedding cake and roast pig before the big day. They said yeah, we have it all. But I didn't even say anything to them for them to confirm. The day before the wedding my mom went back up there for the final payment. The day of my wedding, after my ceremony, while taking pictures, an hour before my reception they called me. I couldn't understand anything the man was saying who illegitimately scared me thinking he said he couldn't do it. That's when I had to get my mother to go meet him, to figure out what was going on. Everything was done by the time I got there, but the color was wrong, and I didn't understand why they couldn't get the information before instead of the worst...
