Olive Boulevard, a heavily traveled stretch of suburban strip malls, has developed an impressive collection of Asian restaurants. You may have to hunt for them amid the copy stores, chain restaurants and tanning salons, but they're there, somewhere on the other side of the parking lot. Royal Chinese Barbecue is one of them, and it stands out for its authenticity. The menus may be read in Chinese or English, and there is a decided movement away from the bland, homogenized fare that is sometimes passed off for Chinese cuisine in the United States. As the name of the restaurant might suggest, meat is the featured offering here, whether dished out in a carefully prepared cut or in a stew. Chinese food is always best enjoyed family style, that is, sampling from the plates of your companions, and Royal Chinese Barbecue offers plenty of opportunities for sharing and exploration. -- HW

BEST St. LOUIS CHINESE in 2008
By stlmom2008 on 02/17/2008
have loved this place for years. try the salted pepper calamari, barbecue pork and scallops with black bean sauce. skip the hot and sour soup and instead try the peking duck. also try any of the hotpots and the snow pea tips. mmmm.

For the past 5 years or better, this has been my favorite spot to eat! Service has always been better than great. The food is alway fresh, tasty and ample. My average visit is once a week and sometimes more. Try it, you will like it!
