    a close up of a plate of food
    Jessica S.

    My second St. Louis native food feat included a St. Paul sandwich. These are found in Chinese American restaurants only in St. Louis. I heard Park Chop Suey was the place to get 'em. One source has the origin of the St. Paul sandwich dating as far back as the early 1940s, when Chinese restaurants, desperate to attract the American public to try their cuisine, invented the sandwich to appeal to their palates. According to local legend, the St. Paul Sandwich was invented by Steven Yuen at Park Chop Suey in Lafayette Square, a neighborhood near downtown St. Louis; Yuen named the sandwich after his hometown of St. Paul, Minnesota. The sandwich consists of an egg foo young patty (made with Mung bean sprouts and minced white onions) served with dill pickle slices, white onion, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato between two slices of white bread. It was good, but it's probably not something I'd make a point to have all the time. The big, cooked sprouts on an egg were a little weird for me and I couldn't finish the whole meal. Apparently, St. Louis also has their own style of preparing fried rice and crab rangoon, so I added those to my order. The fried rice is darker and does not have peas and carrots in it. In fact, it had nice, big chunks of chicken and as you can see, the crab rangoon is folded into a triangle. And yes, it was very delicious! I must add that I felt really uncomfortable entering and exiting the building. There was a lot of cat calling and as a female traveling solo, I wasn't sure how safe of an area it was. Inside, however, the lady behind the counter was ever so helpful. Very kind and explained to me in the best english she could what I was getting into.

    Worm in my food!

    Terrible first experience at this establishment. The individual at the front counter was very rude while taking my order. It seemed as though he did not appreciate the business, nor did he care about his job. Upon eating my food, I realized there was a worm sitting on top of my chicken (see pic). Without hesitation, I immediately tossed my meal and the other four meals out. I didn't waste time by calling to complain, however, I did notify the health department who scheduled a health inspector within the next 10 days. Chinese take-out can be delicious, but watch where you eat! If the place looks sketchy from the outside then it is most like the same on the inside!

    So we were on our way to A-1 Wok but decided to stop in here after running across it on yelp. BIG MISTAKE! Ordered 35.00 worth of food, had a mixture of a lil bit of everything from fried rice to the st paul and chicken wings. The rice was sooo freaking dry, it literally soaked up the soy sauce. I don't think they even fry the rice. The color of the rice was barely brown. The st paul was disgusting and tasted like the bottom of the skillet. I never knew you could mess up a st paul sandwich. AND they give you mayo packs instead of putting on the sandwich! The gravy was salty but was necessary to consume the rice. The chicken was OK but lacked any flavor. And the french fries were soggy and a complete waste! Now my stomach is churning and I'm praying I don't have to spend the rest of the night on the toilet!! I hate that I wasted my money and should have followed my 1st mind and kept driving right past this place. FYI... PAY ATTENTION TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS!!!

    Delish sweet and sour chicken!

    Best hole in the wall Chinese place! Might look a little sketchy but fantastic.

    ..these are the 'Cheese Fries' that they gave me for an extra $0.55. Like really?!?!

    Tried to do the Delivery but it cost too much. So I decided to pick it up. I ordered Half order of Pork Fried Rice and Cheese Fries. I pick it up and go back to work. To my dismay the cheese is minor more so not even there. I basically called and said 'WTH?" The guy told me 'dont order no more'. I called him a 'F$#$% for being rude.Waited a few moments and tried to call back to and get a refund but they ignored my call. I drove back only to get yelled at by the dark haired lady at the door 'Im not dealing with you. You causing problems with the delivery.(they never delivered it) We dont return food. (How the hell do you not return food at a restaurant) lol. I pushed the food back to the lady and walked out. Went to White Castles as I should have done in the first place. I am going to the BBB. Terrible customer makes ANY place bad.. PS. Did not get my money back.

We lucked out and got two seats at the counter soon after we came in. The staff was hustling! Stews was busy, but felt comfortable and not crazy. The Menu had drinks on one side and food on the other. The patron next to me ordered a Mule and it looked really good so I ordered that and it tasted as good as it looked. I knew I had to get the Brussels Sprouts and they did not disappoint. It was a pretty good-sized order so I had some to take home for anther meal, yum! I also ordered Lo Mein and enjoyed that immensely, as well. We had somewhere else to be after eating so it was nice to get in and get seated, order drinks, order food all in a timely manner. It wasn't rushed at all, and everyone pitched in with serving and all of it. Well-orchestrated service. If you are trying to remember things that came before and you are thinking of the Wood Shack, you are correct! I thought it was but it had been a while so I asked and our server confirmed :).

Pro Tip: GO ALONE! lol the tables for one open a lot faster than they do for larger parties. The entire inside holds about 35 people. When STL weather cooperates, the front patio doubles the size of the place. Do with that what you will. You have been warned so plan accordingly! NOW FOR THE FOOD! Order The Salmon! Order the brussel sprouts. I wasn't a fan of the T-Pockets as they are NOT traditional crab ragoon. Think, jalapeño poppers but with cream cheese and crab. ORDER A COCKTAIL! I've had their Manhattan and an "After Dark". If you are a bourbon person, you can't lose on either of those. Drinks range from $10-$14. THE STAFF: The space is tiny and is always packed, that alone is a recipe for disgruntled guests and employees BUT NOT HERE. The Stew's team is always friendly and cool under pressure. They have seating and serving down to a science. Kudos! AMBIANCE: Think intimate bar in Japan. Can't imagine that, then visit Stew's. Thank me later.

We chatted briefly with Jeff, the owner, and learned a ton about the restaurant's history and re-launch. It's a good sized venue, with great lighting and seating plus excellent service.

    This is the BEST restaurant that I've been to in STL so far!!…read more First, the service was absolutely wonderful. Our server was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive to our table. The food was purely amazing: - The Sake Sashimi was absolute chef's kiss (rate: 10/10). The fresh sashimi in the ginger mint sauce left us speechless, the salsa gave a fresh and fruity burst of flavor, and even the fried chips on top had a ton of flavor! - The Isaan Hamachi (rate: 9.5/10) was also a must! I first tried the candied garlic on top, and it was truly sweet with only a hint of garlic. The yellowtail was also super fresh, and the coconut sauce brought out even more flavor from the yellowtail (and masked any fishy taste)! - The Massachusetts Scallops (rate: 9.5/10) was one of the best scallops I've ever had. Topped with crab and combined with the pea puree, everything complemented each other so well. There were only two scallops, but they were large and super filling. - The Shrimp Toasts had layers and layers of flavor (rate: 9/10)! The shrimp was inside of the toast, creating a super umami flavor, and then the light and fruity topping and sauce, along with the thin slice of cucumber, truly made this a party in my mouth. - The Chili Garlic Noodles were super nutty and so good (rate: 8/10)! The noodles were slightly spicier than expected, but the spice was a quick burst of flavor, so the spice didn't overpower the dish at all. The noodles were mixed with vegetables and topped with a crunch - definitely make sure to mix before eating to get the different textures and flavors in each bite! We also got cocktails (Pretty in Pink & Sands in the Sun), and both were really yummy. Last, we got a dessert - homemade ice cream by the Sous Chef that day: soy ice cream with red bean! Flavors were all subtle but together they created such a unique and beautiful end to the meal. Came here for my birthday, and I will certainly be returning!

I get that this is a Thai restaurant, not Chinese (though it's more Chinese than I am), but Meyou might consider such a policy. I would have benefited from it yesterday. I visited on a Wednesday evening with members of a running group. There were umpteen of us. If we'd been given a single egg roll appetizer, we would have been forced to cut it in tiny pieces and share. I would have been willing to do that, because I'm a confirmed, avowed savage. My reputation precedes me. Arguably, they should give you one free appetizer for every six members of your party. But I digress. Now, where was I? Ah yes, Meyou. I'd describe this place as a somewhat Americanized version of Thai food, based on what little I know from having recently visited Bangkok and eaten in roughly 40 or 50 restaurants, food stalls and what have you over the course of a few days, i.e. not a whole lot. You can get pad thai and various other soups, noodles and curries, along with fried rice, egg rolls, crab rangoon and chicken wings. It's got a little something for everyone. Do they charge you $0.25 for extra soy sauce? Can you call up and try to harangue them into giving you a free order of crab rangoon by claiming that they shorted you the last time you were there, knowing good and well they can count better than you? I'm not sure. I might try that on my next visit and report back. This time, I went with something called Pad See Ew, which wasn't nearly as gross as its name suggests. In fact, it was good. Its description on the menu, with broccoli, eggs and soy sauce, called to mind various things I might order from a Chinese takeout--which is what I tend to look for in a menu item. As a noodle dish, I figured the overall flavor profile might not be different from a lo mein lunch special I used to get decades ago, that I still fondly reminisce about on a weekly basis. I wasn't that far off from the mark. They let you choose the spice level, ranging from mild to hot. I usually get hot in most places, but I'm hesitant to do that at Asian restaurants, because they might have access to peppers that are technically considered research chemicals, like Temu Ozempic, and therefore not subject to FDA approval. There were a few girls there, and I didn't want to run the risk of my throat starting to close up. I'd have to find a new run group. Medium turned out to be just right for me, but maybe too spicy if you're expecting something along the lines of a buffalo wing. Even the mild, apparently, has a bit of a kick to it. The noodles were nice and slippery and cooked a touch beyond al dente, right in that Goldilocks zone between undercooked and mush. The heat, and the complexity provided by whatever they use to season this, helped offset the underlying sweetness. You get your choice of meat. No Diddy. I went with pork, natch, with apologies to the Honorable Minister. The amount they give you is surprisingly generous, except that this dish will run you. I'm talking modern-day Chipotle prices. Maybe a dollar or two more. Yikes! But I'd argue that the quality justifies it. If I lived nearby, and I had the means, I'd stop by on occasion.
