Upon arrival you’ll find Cate Zone unassumingly located next to a Dierbergs, don’t let the location fool you, Cate Zone is not one of your standard Chinese takeouts, and offers significantly higher quality Chinese cuisine than one might expect. The staff are friendly and swift to greet and seat. Compared to the U City location, the Chesterfield location has a much roomier dining room that makes their decor pop. I ordered sweet and sour pork, braised pork belly, Chengdu chicken, Kung Pao chicken. The sweet and sour pork had a nice thick and light crisped fried layer and a healthy coat of sweet and sour sauce that paired well with the pork, the braised pork belley was succulent, well seasoned, and almost melted in my mouth, the Chengdu chicken also had a light crisp to the fry and was well seasoned and had mala chili oil aroma of Sichuan pepper and red chili pepper, the Kung Pao chicken was a little sweet and lighter on the mala than I would expect, but none the less far superior than many Kung Pao chicken dishes you’ll find in the area. I also ordered a Mapo Tofu to go, which made for a nice late night mala delight. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with anything you try at Cate Zone.

This place is much more spacious and quieter than the other one in Olivr and has no wait. They can accommodate bigger groups (with the cute turning table😙), and foodwise I think it's same (quality/quantity) as the other place - both are SO GOOD. Definitely try sweet and sour pork, mala stir fry, and sizzling eggplants🤤 I can eat here everyday

While the choices here are pretty standard, everything is delicious and made with love. This place is a St Louis institution. Perfect for a casual night out.

It was great. The general tso chicken was sweet and just a hint of spice. The crab Rangoon was crispy and full of filling. The egg roll was so fresh and the fried rice was delicious with carrots and onions. Will be back. Yum
