Raytown To-Go

My favorite Chinese food spot! The spicy shrimp fried rice is the best and the service is always great.

I ordered this for takeout as it was recommended by a friend and dang was it good. She got the mei fun and I got the beef and broccoli and it was tasty and delicious as how you'd imagine your favorite take out Chinese place would be. I would definitely recommend it again if you are in the area.

I live equidistant between Raytown to Go and another Chinese restaurant, and I typically order from the other one. No particular reason, it was just the first one we tried and we became used to it.However, a couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I came down with Covid for a second time, and the only thing that sounded appetizing when we were sick was hot and sour soup and lo mein. Since Raytown to Go is on DoorDash and the other restaurant isn't, we ordered from Raytown to Go.I still prefer the lo mein from the other place, but the lo mein from Raytown to Go was more than adequate. Very tasty. I just prefer the thicker noodles and Raytown to Go's noodles are more spaghetti-like.But the hot and sour soup...that's really what our sick bodies craved, and it definitely did the trick. Plenty of spice to ease the congestion and it was nice and hearty and flavorful and everything I want in a hot and sour soup.Yesterday, I was running some errands and was craving Chinese food and Raytown to Go was on my way home, so I decided to stop in. I ordered curry chicken and some scallion pancakes. Curry chicken is my go to, and it did not disappoint. Plenty of spice and enough sauce to coat the rice the way I like. If I had anything negative to say about it it would be that it's a little salty for my liking, but then again, the usual place I go to also oversalts their curry chicken, so at this point I pretty much expect salty curry chicken.The scallion pancakes...now this is one of those items that I've heard about and seen on Chinese menus and have been interested in, but had never had a chance to try. Well, since I saw them on the menu at Raytown to Go, I decided to try them. They were SO GOOD! Super crispy and oniony and delicious. I think you're supposed to dip them in soy sauce, but they were delicious as-is. I don't like cabbage, so I'm the person that if I'm given an eggroll, I just eat the outside. The scallion pancakes taste like a super crispy eggroll wrapper chock full of scallions. I'll definitely be ordering that again.I'm looking forward to my next visit to Raytown to Go and trying some more of the different menu items, but I think the scallion pancakes will be a regular part of my future orders!

The scallion pancakes are my absolute favorite but the chicken sticks and crab rangoon are great too! My husband liked his general tsos and I previously got an enjoyed the black pepper chicken, the garlic chicken and fried noodles weren't my favorite but wasn't bad just not what I'm used to. The fried rice is also GREAT worth the $1 for sure highly recommend!

The egg drop soup is delicious and hearty, the sweet and sour sauce is really good and citrusy (best sweet and sour sauce i've had), and the rice is fluffy and well cooked. my only complaint is that I wish they had more fried tofu entrees, If they had sweet and sour fried tofu, i'd be going every week. overall good place though

Don't let the casual name fool you. This family owned establishment makes great quality Chinese food for a good price. The delivery is prompt, although during these pandemic times you can expect a hasty parking by your house and a good honking after leaving the bag at your door and waiting for you to acknowledge that the order is received. Make sure that you specify your tip amount when ordering with a credit card over the phone. I really always order either fried rice or lo mein noodles with some chicken sticks.

I ordered almost 40 dollars worth of food. This is my favorite Chinese food place because the quality is better than anything else in town or around. With my food I ordered AppetizersA 05 (6) piece crab rangoon 4.55A 13 House tray for (1) 5.75Lo MeinL 06 shrimp lo mein 8.25 All day Combo special plate Served with fried rice, crab rangoon, and an eggrol.(When ordering this one on the phone I specifically said the one with the fried rice and sides just to be sure and inquired about a split payment between card and cash)(R8) general Tso's chicken 7.55When the food arrived it was cold in the middle of every item, and I only received the fried rice with my general Tso's all day combo. No big deal my family is still hungry and it's an easy fix to just get the sides sent back out right?I called the place and the lady first told me I had to get the special order to receive the other items with the general Tso's and it would be 9.25 insteadI responded with no, that is the chef special and the website says the 7.55 order under the app day combo comes with fried rice, egg roll and crab rangoon.After offering to send screen shots I was told I didn't tell her the special so it only comes with the rice and its 7.25 instead of 7.55 (I was charged the 7.55)It may be different in a phone order but there is no option in the website for just the chicken and rice. General Tso's is only available under 2 catagoriesThe all day combo special (which has no options to choose just the chicken and rice it just has options for extra sauce or chicken) and the chef special with respective prices of 7.55 or 9.25After going back and forth and reading straight from their website and paper menus from last time ordering I was tired of being told no over something so simple and I asked for my money back and would return all of the unopened food.I got hatred and rudeness, attitude and sighs and then I got screamed at that she was putting in a new order for the missing items and I said no I just want my money back and I want to go somewhere else the principal of the matter is I'm not satisfied, I've been polite thru the entire exchange never interrupting, raising my voice or anything. I'm not that type of person I work in the food service industry and highly value a good attitude and understanding goes a long ways. I was denied any refund and was hung up on with the items (2) arriving almost an hour later. Cold and hard not even worth eating.I was not given a receipt for my cash side of the transaction but I have my credit card receipt to the transaction and I'm sure it can be found. Over something so simple as 2 pieces of sides I was called a liar, yelled at told I ordered wrong, was refused a simple refund for luke warm food, (bottom of every container was even cold including the chicken) screamed at, and hung up on. This is my favorite chinese place. It's always a great time delivery or carryout or dine in, I dont understand it. I'll still go back, I still respect them but this was uncalled for over a few dollars worth of missing food after spending 32 dollars plus tip (I dont want the tip back or anything like that) I was understanding up to the point of having someone be that rude to me over something so simple. I just want my money back and better luck next time.

This is a little Chinese place in a strip mall on 63rd St. When my friend first brought me here several months ago I was pleasantly surprised that the food was so good. She got Moo Goo Gai Pan and I ordered Shrimp Lo Mein, and both were excellent. However, when I ordered the Spring Rolls, I was horrified to find they were absolutely filled with black pepper. They weren't labeled as spicy, either. When I brought this to the cashier's attention, she said (in very broken English) that they weren't spicy - they had only pepper! and pointed to the pepper shaker. I told her that pepper made them spicy and I couldn't eat them, and she just said that a lot of people liked them that way. That was my first warning.The next time I went to dine in I had a cheap bottle of water placed on my table instead of a glass. I ordered the shrimp lo mein, and instead of lo mein flat noodles they used spaghetti, which ruined it for me.Spaghetti noodles just don't cut it for lo mein, anymore than chili cuts it in a taco shell.This last time I ordered & paid online during the pandemic. I got the House Appetizer Tray ($5.75) and the House Chef's Special Happy Family ($10.75). The total came to $20.52, but I was hoping to have enough leftovers for another meal. Included in that was $1 for fried rice instead of white. The food was ready when I arrived. When I got the receipt, however, I noticed that I had been charged $1.50 as a convenience fee. This despite the fact that I ordered and paid online, called to let them know when I got there, then went inside to pick up my order. As near as I could tell the convenience was all on their part.They didn't include any napkins or plasticware at all. Or a single fortune cookie. The appetizer tray consisted of a fantail shrimp, a crab Rangoon, a chicken wing, an egg roll, chicken on a stick, and a spare rib. The last was so dry and tough it was all but inedible, but the others were okay.But the entree was sadly lacking. It was described as "a combination of shrimp, scallops, chicken, pork, beef, & crabmeat sauteed w. snow peas, carrots, water chestnuts, mushrooms, bamboo, broccoli, & baby corn in brown sauce." Well, I did find 2 scallops, shrimp, and all the other meats. But the dish was full of zucchini, barely cooked huge pieces of cabbage, large underdone slices of celery, and green beans, some very dry and stringy. There was not a snow pea in sight. I found two mushrooms hiding in the bottom. No bamboo shoots. Lots of carrots, though. A few baby corn. One water chestnut. The brown sauce was nice, as was the meat, but one taste of the celery and cabbage and I picked them out. They ruined the dish utterly.You know a Chinese place is going downhill when they begin to cut corners by substituting cheap American veggies for traditional Chinese ones. Another place I used to go to cut corners by loading every dish down with huge amounts of onions, barely cooked. I picked them out of one entree & discovered they compromised half the dish!Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, this place has seen the last of me.

The first time you have a chance at the top is the second one that I have a lot to do with you I just need you guys I need to know if you're coming or if you're not coming or if you don't I just want you

I came in ah 9:50pm to order and they closed at 10pm. Not only did they take my order with pleasure, I added a few items 5 minutes later, with no hesitation on their end! I know first hand how it is to take an order when it's about to close and the fact that they did it with such kindness, goes to show a lot! It also helps that their food is AMAZING!!
