You also get a complimentary drink or appetizer based on how much you spend. The food was delicious and I would come back to try some of their other dishes. Three Cup Chicken with rice $14 - This dish is one of their popular dishes and is all chicken covered in a tasty sauce. It's not my kind of dish because I prefer a variety vs all meat. Braise Pork Belly with rice $16 - The pork belly is cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth. It is served on a bed of baby bok choy.

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.

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.

Love the new cocktail bar they added. It take away some seating however people can eat at bar too. We ordered cocktails while waiting for our table which took only a few minutes. My husband tried their version of an old-fashioned which used both bourbon and rum!!! It was good but he said definitely a "sipper". They have a full bar and much better wine selection now too. Starters for us were a bowl of wonton soup and the spring rolls. Both were good but rolls a little rubbery to me. The highlight of our meals was charbroiled pork. We are not capable of ordering anything else. Ha. I get 15.04 and he got 15.03 which includes an egg roll. Divine food!! The people who own this place are so friendly. Our waiter was also very nice.

However, I will tell you that Eddie turned it around. He was incredible. Sure, normally wait staff will tell you "oh yes great choice" so I asked if he would actually tell us if things were bad. Now, he didnt say anything was bad, but he did say he felt this other dish was better than what a person ordered because it had more flavor and yada yada. A honest man. Love to see that. Japanese Curry = Little spicy, but great flavor. Yum. Wagyu and bacon bao = amazing. Get it. Pork belly boa = a little dry, bummer. Fried shrimp boa = good. Fries = 100/10. Perfectly crispy. Amazing. Also a little thing, but the light on table had three different settings and I just really appreciated that. Treat yourself to this small restaurant tucked away in Clayton and go visit by boy Eddie.

We had reservations but it was so cold we went early praying that they had open seating. We were in luck the bar was open. Inside it was swanky, I liked the aesthetic. if you are looking for a place that's ultra private, this isnt it. but it would be an awesome date night. The bartender was welcoming and open. I was enthralled as they made the cocktails. They answered random questions and helped us picked something for our palate. I had the Paloma (Palo-Ho-HO-Ma) it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! i mean like go just to get one of those. Then i had the sweet chili popcorn tofu. That was also good. Next I had Tom Kha. Refreshing spicy creamy soup. almost licked the bowl. Then i chose three different bao sandwiches. chicken, the pork belly, and the shrimp tempura. All the sandwiches were great, but after all the food i ate i was so full i couldn't appreciate them like they deserved. Now all the food AND the drink was for $40.00 You see I gave them 5 stars. I usually don't do that and this was my first time at the establishment. The food was so good that I started talking to the persons next to me at the bar and looking at their food selection. I will definitely be back . Are you still reading this, why aren't you in the car driving there yet.

The drinks were okay! I could barely taste any matcha and it was very milk forward. I think the thai had a better flavor so I would opt for that next time. But food wise, absolutely loved the pho and that it came with fresh mint, bean sprout, and jalapeno. I also loved the broth! My husband's shrimp lo mein was also very good, but he had a lot of carrots in his lol My toddler loves noodles, so he liked both of our meals. Great spot for quick pho!

The restaurant is delightfully unpretentious--not in an ironic way, but in a "our food speaks for itself; sit at a stool or take it to go, we know you'll be back" kind of way. We ordered the tofu BTS, chicken BTS, kimchee, and a cheesy Korean corn dog. I added a side of red gochujang, which paired really well with the tofu, adding a bit more heat to the BTS sauce. The kimchee had a delicious umami aroma, but the flavor itself was a bit blunter in terms of spice. Still very good--just not what you might expect based on the smell, which was also good but different. The Korean corn dog... I'd never had a Korean corn dog before, so this was a new experience for me. At first, I thought it was just a giant, corn-dog-shaped cheese stick, but halfway through you get a bite of Korean hot dog. I might try another one, in my life in general, but I didn't totally fall in love with the actual Korean hotdog part. (Used to be pescatarian, so this might track) I even added ketchup and sugar to part of it as these were the condiments it came with. I didn't think I'd like that combination (sweeter ketchup), but I was pleasantly surprised. I've liked this spot ever since I moved to the area about three years ago. Back then, they only offered chicken and shrimp. Over time, they added some beef dishes, limited vegetable options, ramen, then tofu and Korean corn dogs. However, they no longer serve ramen, beef, or warm vegetable dishes. I really wish they'd add a veggie option again, but they clearly know what they're doing. On past visits, the owners have always been very kind. Tonight was a bit different tho, I'm not sure how long they've been offering homemade chicken dog treats, but they had them as a special tonight. The owner was kind enough to transfer custody of a few to me for my dog. He loved them
