Dud you actually go into the BAKERY section of the wei hong on olive? there is a separate bakery building on the side of the restaurant and i’ve never had better service! The olive wei hong has much better service than the one on grand, I go to the olive one about once a week and have never had problems. the woman who works there is super nice, and a lot of times will knock off some of the price if its small change. $7.15 will be $7.00, $3.10 will be $3.00, etc. Also, I don’t even know if they serve bubble tea at the olive location, unless you didn’t go in the bakery, you went in the restaurant. I also think you have their phone number wrong.

Never, NEVER eat at Wei-Hong on South Grand.

On my first trip to Wei-Hong, I ordered the vegetables and tofu lunch plate. I started feeling ill a few hours later, and subsequently had to be taken to the emergency room and spent three days in the hospital with severe bacterial gastroenteritis. No joke. I have never had any problem at any restaurant before, and after this I am disgusted to think of what must have been in my food to make me that ill. I have always liked to patronize independent, ‘mom-and-pop’ restaurants instead of chains, but I will be thinking twice about where I eat from now on. Do not eat at Wei-Hong.

I lived in STL in 2000-02. The location on Grand was one of my favorites. We went a few times a week after work or on weekends. We drove from W County b/c their food tasted great (I’m Asian) and had the best value! When I recently moved back to STL, I was excited to go to the Grand location and the new one. I’m never going back! At Grand, they microwaved my roast duck, chicken, and pork right in front of us! It’s not roasted anymore! I went to the Olive location twice. The 1st was for dimsum and they charged every item as a M or L dish but we had several S dishes charged wrong. I spoke with one of the Chen owners I knew from before (she didn’t remember me). She apologized and said she couldn’t figure out the discrepancy b/c I had paid. The 2nd time I had dinner there they overcharged me again. She told me the menu was wrong when I asked. I will never go back again, I am sad to say!! Royal BBQ used to use these tricks. What a disappointment that Wei Hong has stooped to this level now.

As with any business, restraunt or even home cooked meals with friends, there can be times when things just dont go as we would like. I might suggest that we reconsider posting negative comments and focus on the positive.

Although we eat at both Wei Hong locations, we prefer the one on Olive Blvd. Both locations offer excellent quality of food,service and pricing.

Sunday “Dim Sum” simply cant be beat! In addition to the cuisine, they have an outstanding bakery. I would recommend trying the “Coconut Bun” warm.
