Chinese Restaurant $ 4.3Google (392)


Lam's Garden is recognized for its dedication to authentic Chinese cuisine.

" I used to love Lam's Garden when I lived in St. Louis. It holds a special place in my heart because I remember spending many afternoons there during college. Their special fried rice is still the best I've had, but when I returned recently, I noticed the portions seemed smaller than I remembered. It's still a solid choice for takeout, especially when you're in the mood for classic Chinese dishes. Just keep in mind you have to pay in cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Each time I visit Lam's Garden, I am reminded why it remains my go-to for Chinese food. It has a charm that's hard to match. The owners are such lovely people, and the food remains consistent. My favorites are the special fried rice and their hot braised chicken, both guaranteed to satisfy. I appreciate that they stick with cash only, but it does require a bit of planning ahead. Highly recommend for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I went to Lam's Garden, I was really excited to try their menu. I ended up getting the shrimp St. Paul sandwich and a side of fried rice. Unfortunately, the shrimp tasted a little off, and the fried rice was not what I expected. The service was decent, but the place looked a bit unkempt. I was hoping for a better experience, especially since I had heard good things. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Lam's Garden left me disappointed. The hot braised chicken was overly salty, and I think the food was not as fresh as I expected. The only saving grace was that the staff handled my complaints professionally. Unfortunately, I won't be returning as there are better options in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and friendly service! The vegetable fried rice was simply amazing, and the staff were welcoming and smiled whenever I entered. I didn't have to wait long for my order, which I appreciate. I love that it's a cash-only place, which feels very old-school. Definitely a spot I will visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food, but the cash-only payment and lack of seating can be a hassle. The crab rangoon were delightful, and the sweet and sour chicken was a big hit—filled with flavor! I appreciate their speedy service and the fact that they honor call-ahead orders. Will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try Lam's Garden last weekend based on frequent recommendations. While the service was warm, I felt let down by the food. The fried rice tasted bland, and the crab rangoon was a bit oily for my liking. However, I might visit again and try other menu items as I’ve been told to never just stick to one dish!
