I came all the way from University City after a VIP guest from work was in town visiting from California mention this is the best rice in the city, after hearing it come from them and they was raised n born here I came get a half order of shrimp fried rice with bean sprouts and green onions.......Was worth the wait because it was extremely busy here the little short Chinese lady smiled at me, they was Impressed how polite I was placing my order they all looked at me like I was some celebrity The rice was so extra delicious!
I like Johns I feel like they are one of the best Chop Suey in St. Louis I’ve been eating there for a long time and never been disappointed
Food is great here. Beware located in heart of hood. Always packed. Call your order in ahead of time. You still gone have to wait anyways if you do but it cut down wait by hellas as opposed just going in person to order. Make sure you got protection too. Get you some cigs , blunts, bootleg movies while u wait on order.
Best in the STL to me!
Great food very clean store !
