I stopped by for a quick lunch waiting for doctor's appointment…read more I ordered Green Curry with vegetables and miso soup. The miso soup must have been pre-made and ready to be served because the waitress brought the soup within a minute. The soup was flavorful. The Green Curry was served quickly (before I 1/2 way finished the soup). While the curry was more soup based than I expected, the rice mound added rounded out the dish. The curry was flavorful, but not really hot (as warned by the waitress). Overall- the meal was what I wanted. The price and the strip mall location was a little let down. This was not bad for a lunch special.

Akar has been on my list for a long time and WOW! Was I missing out!…read more Akar is one of STL's best restaurants for good reason - the ambiance is perfect for all occasions, the service was so great and helpful, and the food was phenomenal. I have been dreaming about their Roti, General Tso's bites, meatballs, and shrimp noodles! Every bite is filled with so much flavor. I can't wait to go back

So glad to have Grand Bistro back in my life! The food is just as good as I remember from when it…read morewas Pho Grand, and honestly, the service when I went with friends last week was incredible. I knew they don't take reservations and won't seat an incomplete party, but I still got there a little early just to see if we could grab a table for five. I was surprised (in a good way) when they seated me before everyone else arrived. I even told the hostess I didn't mind waiting, but she encouraged me to go ahead and sit, which was really nice. Our server was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of while I waited. As my friends started arriving, he was quick to get them settled in too. We started with some non-alcoholic drinks and spent some time chatting before diving into the menu. It was honestly hard to pick just one thing, so I went with both the chicken pho and fried rice. I knew I wouldn't finish it all, but I really wanted both. Once we ordered, everything moved smoothly--our server checked in, made sure drinks were filled, and kept things organized. When the food came out, everything looked amazing and tasted just as good. Of course, with all the catching up we were doing, it took us a while to finish, but there was no rush at all. When we were ready, he brought the checks and was more than happy to split them out (always appreciate that!). Before leaving, I ordered a to-go meal for my husband and asked for a box for my leftovers. Our server actually took my plate and packed everything up in the back, which I wasn't expecting but really appreciated. He also brought out the to-go order right when it was ready. Honestly, everything, from the space to the service to the food, was just great. I'm already looking forward to going back again soon.

If you are looking to hibachi, then this is for you. They offer hibachi/teppanyaki style dining…read more They are not as entertaining as the other well known hibachi place, but decent. Prices are reasonable, and all the food is cooked to order. The sushi was delicious, my chicken and shrimp were cooked perfectly. Big servings, enough to have leftovers. Staff were friendly, and answered any questions we had. They were able to accommodate our party of 15 with no problem.

By the time the food was ready and we got home it was that hour + wait. The Chicken and Broccoli was alright. The Orange Chicken wasn't spicy, but still had good flavor but the chicken pieces didn't seem like they had trimmed the nasty off. The sushi didn't have any complaints! Since we didn't stay to eat I can't really say much but it seemed clean and on the quieter side until one of the chefs tossed a bite to someone.

The food was delicious, hot, and surprisingly good. Will definitely order from them again.read more

Nudo House in Creve Coeur absolutely lives up to the hype, especially if you are hunting for a…read morestellar vegetarian bowl. I dropped in on a Saturday evening and ordered the **Shroomed Up** ramen, and it was a ramen masterclass in a bowl. The broth managed to be incredibly rich and deeply savory-sweet all at once, without ever feeling heavy. It was loaded with thick, substantial slabs of mushrooms, tender-cooked bok choy, and the noodles were the star of the show--thick and perfectly cooked to that ideal sweet spot where they aren't too chewy but have zero mushiness. Even with a line stretching out the door when we arrived, the wait wasn't tedious, and we reached the counter reasonably fast. The ordering process is standard counter service, but the staff member who took our order was incredibly nice, polite, and helpful, practically predicting my questions as I was looking over the menu. The same employee even brought our bowls out to us. The space was definitely crowded for a weekend night, but the seat-yourself setup worked out perfectly for the two of us; we still had three tables to choose from. The interior has a great energy with fun, East-Asian and Japanese-themed decor lining the walls. The Breakdown Food Quality: 5+/5 + Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Vibe: 4/5 Quality/Value: 4/5 **Pro Tip:** Don't let a Saturday evening line out the door scare you off! The counter service team moves people through the queue efficiently, and if you are dining in a small group of two, the table turnover is quick enough that you'll still easily find a spot to sit down.

BOTTOM LINE: I Love this place as does my family much much better broth in Pho than anywhere I've…read morebeen. My wife and I finally had a chance to come to Nudo near Creve Coeur. I've known qui for decades when the original Mi Lee was on Delmar. I heard he opened a new places. Well it's just fantastic Pho and does NOT need to be "doctored." Staff has always friendly and greet at register(order 1st then bring to table) with a smile and fast bring your food to you. Seems ALL ways busy. Thursday is $10 Pho(I love the deluxe so it's basically 1/2 $). We've already come back numerous times. My wife's only issue is that her Tofu Pho, we are charged extra for Tofu yet she asked for the meat "on the side" since she wanted to give it to me; no response from cashier. Regardless This is now my go to for Pho!!

Disclaimer: I didn't eat here. And the reason is that 75% of the menu , come to find out, is…read moreprepared on the same grill as everything with pork/ham/bacon in it. So just a huge fyi to all diners with those kinds of dietary restrictions. To make a reservation took a lot of forethought and I was looking forward to my experience. The service was questionable - made me feel a little weird when I walked in, but that's fine. We got to our cramped table and got seated. Our waiter was really great though because he was very honest - he immediately told us which items did not work for my restrictions. As mentioned, that ended up being most of the menu, leaving only cold sides/salads as things I could consider. He offered to let us leave (lol) without charging us - because to no-show/cancel a reservation is a hefty fee of 20$ per person. It felt very weird to leave within five minutes of sitting down... So I have to say thank you to the waiter for being knowledgeable about the menu and dietary restrictions. However, for a restaurant with these kinds of ratings (and prices) , I expected so much more. Very non-inclusive of a huge portion of the population who does not eat certain meats. Thank you to the waiters who are honest and know the menu like ours did, but I think the menu could be vastly improved.

Such a cute place!…read more The food was all delicious! As an appetizer, we tried mustard cucumber, which was cold and super freshing with a burst of pickled flavor. Definitely whetted our appetite. For entrees, our group got the mentaiko cream udon, volcano fried rice, tonkatsu, and dan dan noodles. The mentaiko cream udon was creamy but not too thick or heavy. You can just slightly taste the roe that the sauce is flavored with, and I loved that. The prawns were also super juicy and fresh, and the topped nori added the perfect mild savory, umami bite. Everyone else enjoyed what they got as well. Service was also super friendly, quick, and attentive. Definitely will be back!
