Lindberg (about 1/2 mile north of 270)? I personally like their hot and sour soup and kung pao shrimp over any others that I've tried in St. Louis.

Definitely sounds worth a trip out there :) My personal favorite (so far) is at Hunan Empress just a little west of Olive and Woods Mill, just a few doors east of the Four Seasons bowling lanes. It looks no different, but it has a sweet tang and it's full-bodied. Alas, my all-time favorite was in Brooklyn, New York 10 years ago. A place in Park Slope called Wing Wah. Their H&S soup and Egg Fu Yung were to die for and I've not found anything to compare to it. Very tangy soup and sweet brown EFY gravy. John [email removed]

Lunch on the weekdays is a good price performer. If I don't feel like Chinese buffet, Hunan Empress is where I go for lunch.
