I wasn't expecting much from this place since we're in the middle of no where- missouri. But it actually wasn't that bad. I will say I was a bit surprised at how small the menu was. It's a good and bad thing. They've honed in on their specialty and developed a good product. From what I can tell the owners are Vietnamese and actively involved in running the store which is always a good sign. I ordered the meatball pho which is always my go-to. The soup was pretty good and flavorful. Not heavy, I want to say I tasted a little MSG, but not sure since I haven't had it in awhile and what pho doesnt have MSG? Either way, it was good with just the right amount of cut up meatballs. It came out super hot which I love. I think this store is a hybrid of boba tea shop and modern pho restaurant. I say modern bc it doesn't have the nostalgic Vietnamese feel. Sometimes I crave the feel and ambience of home made pho. For example hoisin and sriracha bottles at the table... I would definitely come back. I like how the cashier attempts to speak Vietnamese. It's enduring that she, too, embraces the culture. read more

Great service, friendly and attentative! Menu was limited which was fine because I always get pho and some kind of spring roll. They had a pretty extensive boba menu. I ordered the beef pho and shrimp roll. Beef pho was fine, except the beef was overcooked and I wish tendon and tripe was included. The broth was amazing! Shrimp spring rolls were excellent, not dry like some other places. I enjoyed a quiet lunch in their clean space! read more

Authentic Vietnamese spot at Arnold. Service is very wonderful. The owner came to check on us occasionally and refilled the water constantly. It has a casual vibe. Being someone with extensive experience with Vietnamese food, here are my thoughts regarding the food: 5/5 on the pork egg rolls. It's freshly fried and was packed with delicious protein. 2/5 on the hot jasmine tea. It's disappointing that it's made with the boba tea jasmine mix. I threw it away after one sip. 4/5 on beef pho. Love the flavor and the toppings for the pho noodles. I wish there were more selections for the protein, such as chicken, beef tendon and tribes. Guess it's tailored to the clientele. It's still a wonderful addition to the food scene. Will certainly be back! read more

Surprise! Pho in Arnold, Mo! Spring rolls & peanut sauce: they looked so delicious I didn't have time to take a photo before I picked them up, dunked them in their creamy, well-balanced peanut sauce & exhaled a satisfied sigh at first bite. Pho - I got the beef...believe me, it didn't even need meat, this bowl was full of flavor! Even on a hot day, I'd come back for this broth. All the toppings were fresh & tasty & the gentleman who took my order followed up to make sure everything was satisfactory...YES! Every bite soothed my soul! Q Tea is a gem! Clean environment, friendly staff, quick service, & fantastic food! I really can't ask for anything else! read more

I had the beef pho, wish there were more options and hope that more people come in! The mango tea with brown sugar boba was also great. The last pho I had was.in California a couple weeks ago, and this was amazingly comparable. I am so happy I found this place, give them a try! The dining area is super cute, clean and comfy.

The food here was absolutely perfect if you love authentic pho and spring rolls. A friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is very clean and new. We dined in and had 3 Pho Beefs and 1 order of shrimp spring rolls. The shrimp spring rolls came out first and were freshly rolled and had plenty of ingredients. The peanut sauce was the best I've had in a long time. We then got the pho and all the fixings. The mint and bean sprouts were fresh and very tasty along with the lime slice. The jalapeños however were not fresh which would've been a nice touch, but the pickled jalapeños worked out fine. The sauce for dipping the meat was excellent as well. We will be sure to come back here again soon. Prices were very comparable to what you would see around St. Louis and the quality was well worth it! Also the owner was extremely friendly and helpful and made the experience even more pleasant. The food came out quickly as well! Definitely highly recommend you give it a try too! read more

The menu has changed since its been opened. They offered a lot of variety, but now it seems like they are limited to pho soups. They definitely have improved their boba teas overtime, which is great to see! When I went inside, there's limited seating, but they are very quick to serve you and wait on you. The owners / workers are super nice and they have a great memory! Everyone is super sweet and I would say that it's a great place for lunch! read more

Pho just might be my favorite food. Being from San Diego California I never had short supply of Vietnamese Pho and excellent taco shops. I'm new to the St Louis area and this was my first pho place here. The service was very friendly and boba was excellent, perfectly tender and not rubbery. The tea was refreshing but not too overly sweet just the way I like it. With my pho I always get spring rolls and they were very good and fresh. The pho was very good too. I would have wanted a little more in portion but me wanting more is a good sign which means I will be coming back very soon. read more

I think the focus is on the tea at this cafe , but we are lacking Vietnamese food in SoCo so I had to try their food. Limited food menu but not disappointed; in fact it just made it that much easier to choose. The Pho has so many levels of flavor. Fragrant is the best way to describe the broth. It's soooo good. The Basil is gorgeous. Is that mint in the spring rolls? Or basil? Either way, they were delicious. We also had the rice noodle with pork and the pork chop. Only thing we didn't try was the chicken sandwich. All so good/light/refreshing. Not oily . Thank you for using (mostly) paper To-go containers. Boba tea was fun. Jasmine tasted like flowers (in a good way). Restaurant was clean and staff friendly. It's my new go-to when in Jeff Co. thanks for opening. We need more restaurant diversity. read more

I know it's called China Wok. I've never ordered off their Chinese menu, and frankly, neither…read moreshould you. These folks are turning out some of the best Pho in STL. Their golden tofu and shaking beef are also solid, and I've never regretted ordering either one. That being said, they've got some supply chain issues which mean the other mains aren't consistently available. I also don't recommend their salt and pepper calamari - the squid they used was relatively rubbery and low-quality. Even with the drawbacks above this place is so fucking solid. I love them. I'm thrilled that they're here.

Literally best bun bo hue in St. Louis

DD Mau is a bright, newly relocated restaurant in the old Weber Front Row Grill location in Webster…read moreGroves. I ordered at the counter the 6 piece crab Rangoon, bowl of pho with brisket and a Thai iced tea for dine in. I ordered takeout for my boyfriend the spicy combination lo mein and crab Rangoon. My food was served piping hot and the Thai iced tea was so refreshing! Crab Rangoon were large and enough to share. The pho was delicious; nicely spiced and not salty. I haven't had pho with brisket before and I liked the flavor. Large bowl led to a take home container. I like the bright colors and sleek design of the restaurant. There are many tables and it was ok to pull some together for our group of seven ladies. Attentive staff member kept checking if our group needed anything. I'll definitely come back to DD Mau!

We travel quite a bit by car. On the way back into town we used to moan about what to have for…read moredinner. That was before DD Mau. Now there's no discussion. It's always DD. We phone it in from the road and pick it up hot and fresh before we even get home. Frankly, it's all we really want when we don't know what to eat (travel or not). We dine at plenty of other Vietnamese restaurants (along with Thai, Korean, Chinese and Taiwanese) so I believe we're qualified to compare St. Louis' Asian offerings. While DD might not have the largest menu, it's a variety of well-executed favorites: beef, chicken and vegan pho, banh mi sandwiches, fresh springs rolls (the shrimp rolls are excellent), crispy Vietnamese egg rolls, fried rice, vermicelli bowls with a choice of protein and sauces, and more. Something for everyone. Well-seasoned and a lot of it. I'm partial to the pho combo with a surprising amount of meat. My wife is stuck on the vermicelli bowls and vegan lemon grass soup. Prices are very reasonable, too. We've been fans of DD since they opened in Old Dwntwn Webster about eight years ago and are delighted with the new location on Big Bend near Webster U. Big, bright, contemporary space. Great for families. And a good place for kids to try their first Vietnamese food. Parking can be challenging in their small lot but there's usually plenty of street and other nearby lots across Big Bend. Try it. Enjoy.

They are fast and efficient and take the time to help answer any questions. We had a bigger group, so we pulled a couple of tables together and waited for our food and socialized! My friend and I decided to order two different things and share so we could have a combo. Great idea, they were both so good. Combo Lo Mein and Combo fried rice. They were both flavorful with lots of protiens. Fast and friendly and great food!

I really can't believe we hadn't tried Pad Thai StL previously...what a miss on our part. BUT NOW…read moreWE KNOW! We gave Pad Thai a go the other night and loved it. While many Thai places have gone to carry out only Pad Thai is a delightful restaurant, plenty of seating and great service. It was busy though so I can see how it would fill up. The staff works fast and they get everyone taken care of so all good. And the food...man, was it good! First, Pad Thai does serve alcohol so beer, wine and maybe (? Not certain) some mixed drinks are available. And our favorite Thai beer, Singha, was on the menu! Two please along with spring rolls...great way to start. My better half had pad Thai with tofu, no heat. I had drunken noodles with tofu lvl 3. Both were so good! My dish did not stand a chance, it was awesome and the heat level was perfect. My wife was able to take some of her pad Thai home for a nice lunch the following day. We are hooked and will become regulars. It's so nice to get great Thai food in a comfortable, clean setting with great service. Can't wait to go again.
