Hands down the best ramen in St. Louis. I've tried a lot of spots around the city, and nothing hits…read morelike this place. The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The noodles are perfectly cooked, the toppings are fresh, and the portions are generous without feeling overdone. It's a small, cozy restaurant, so expect a wait during peak hours -- but trust me, it's worth it. The space feels intimate and authentic, which honestly adds to the charm. Once you're seated and that bowl hits the table, you forget you even waited. If you're in St. Louis and craving real ramen, this is the spot. No question.

When we pulled up, there was a line but it moved quicker than we thought. Once we got inside, we were both surprised at how small it was. While I've yet to go to Japan, it def gives off the vibe strictly from ambiance and the decor. It's small but intimate and offers seats at the "bar", as well as communal seating. We didn't get a choice and were sat at the bar. Ordering is done through the QR code and water is offered self-serve. We split an order of the appetizers: house cucumbers and karaage. I'm not a huge cucumber fan but I tried it. I preferred the one with miso as I found it to be more subtle in taste. The chicken was average and didn't wow me. We each got the chicken shoyu with no pork, no scallions and an extra egg. It felt like it took a long time to get our food. We were both surprised once we got it as we were expecting actual chicken pieces but after rereading the menu description, it was chicken oil. He was a bit disappointed as both our dishes were covered in scallions. I suggested we not send it back since it took quite a while to get our food and they were close to closing. Nevertheless, I found the broth to be tasty and full of flavor despite there being no meat. Overall, it was a solid first visit.

While I stood at the bar to peruse the lengthy menu the lady walked near me several times in haste with a notepad prompting my order. It wasn't busy but I felt rushed. I placed the order and watched the order be prepared within a few minutes. When the lady brought the receipt I noticed 15% gratuity was added. Appalling, especially since I wasn't offered water, a seat while I waited, nor was I greeted with a hello, a smile or thanked for coming in. Maybe the automatic gratuity is the very reason for the lack of hospitality here. The lack of hostility is the very reason I will never return. P.S. the sushi was decent. There are 100 alternatives I'd rather frequent for a pleasant experience. ~Christy

The restaurant itself is pretty standard in layout, but the décor is super cool and adds a lot of personality. The food is affordable and tastes incredibly fresh. The veggies were fresh fresh, and the fish was just as impressive. Presentation was definitely A+, every dish looked beautiful. Our server was extremely nice and took great care of us the entire time, which made the experience even better. One small note: the parking situation can be a bit annoying since you park facing against the street. I'm not sure how busy that street gets during the day, but it could be a hassle depending on the time. Overall, though, this has been the best sushi experience I've had in STL. Highly recommend!

When we walked in on a Friday evening we were surprised. It was a warm and comfortable feeling little place. We were Greeted and seated quickly in a booth at the back. The place was busy but didn't feel like it. The staff was friendly and made us feel at home. Lot's of smiles and attention added to the great food and sake. We started with warm sake, miso soup and squid salad. It was all tasty, especially the squid salad. Marinated diced squid on a sweet and savory sauce. Next came our mains . . . we had hald a dozen pieces of niguri, My favorite was the eel. We also ordered several rolls . . . Spider Roll, Eel Avacado Roll, Salmon Skin Roll, and Futomaki. They were all fresh, bright, and delicious. All winners! If you are a fan of sushi, this is a great place, We will definitely return again and again. Special shout out to the staff!! From the friendly welcome to the warm good bye and good evening . . . you all are awesome! Arigatō ありがとう

Robata is a small place with an ample parking lot size for its seating, or close to ample. I think…read morethere may not be enough seating for its customer demand... that's a sign of a popular place. Happy hour prices + the food quality are what had my friend invite me here. Some rolls are half off and so are a few beverages, like hot sake. I had never had hot sake. I've only had any sake once. I liked it fine, but I didn't want a second order after I finished the first. I was disappointed that Robata was out of plum wine. Instead I ordered what was described as a white sangria, but it tasted more like a brandy. I had a few sips and gave it to my friend. I had 4 vegetarian sushi rolls. Only the asparagus was included with happy hour. My 3 other rolls were takuan, pickle plum and BB. As much as I like plum (keep reading), and takuan was a pleasant surprise, and the asparagus was good, the BB, which has tempura asparagus, cream cheese, and sweet soy, was my favorite item of the evening. I was happy to see umeboshi onigiri on the lengthy menu. These were of a good size, but I think it perhaps would have benefitted from a higher pickled plum to rice ratio. (The only time I've had it has been from a food truck and I don't know how representative it is of onigiri.) Each order of food took a while to come out. My friend had trouble getting the server's attention when she wanted to put in more orders. Robata is not a place for a quick happy hour bite. It's going to take a while, especially if you're ordering in multiple rounds like we did. When the kitchen got too busy, my order another roll was denied. That happened well before dinner service ended and it was disappointing. I would have waited a bit longer. But it was probably good to get cut off from sushi at some point. We were a little confused by the bills. My friend may have overpaid (not gotten happy hour price) for some of her items, and there was some question about whether mine had been billed correctly, but in the end we decided that mine was probably correct. Hers, though... we aren't sure. I think I'll return to Robata for the BB roll, plum wine, and maybe something new, but I will be sure to have plenty of time, order a bunch all at once, and check the bill.

Since my source for umeboshi onigiri seems to have ceased operations (does anyone know what…read morehappened to the Izumi food truck?), i was pretty excited to see pickled plum rice balls on the menu here. I came with a friend for happy hour. We got the half off sushi (which included the mackerel nigiri, which is my FAVORITE (Tho, theirs isn't as good as Sushi Hanna in Alton)) and house hot sake, which was perfect for this freezing week. The heat was out? Which the waitress apologized for. They had a space heater out, so we sat right by that. I also ordered a few of the onigiri to go. They aren't the best I've had, but I'll probably be back semi-regularly to get my fix of the flavor, which is just so unique. Same for half off mackerel Maybe one day I'll even try their non-sushi offerings...

Parking is a little hard but if u are okay with walking you can park around the Starbucks lot. Service is very friendly!

Maybe I chose the wrong dish, but at least the shrimp pad thai was bad. I would generally say…read morethings aren't good, but here bad is very much warranted. The shrimp come tail on, which is fine, but one of them had sand in it, I'm not sure from what, but they definitely were not thoroughly cleaned. The flavor was flat and yet the Pad Thai was overly saucy. I saw people saying this restaurant it is authentic, speaking highly of the food, but they must be comparing it to other Thai-American spots because I just don't see it at least from the Pad Thai. Pad Thai should ideally have subtle cooked down flavors of tamarind and fish sauce, some complex sweetness from palm sugar, and subtle dried shrimp flavor as well. But here the flavor just was bland and uninteresting. Some redeeming qualities are that they had some dried shrimp on top, which is very rare in the US even in larger cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Seattle; the rice noodles themselves were cooked well (not over or undercooked); the bean sprouts looked fresh and clean; and the peanuts, chili powder, and lime coming separately was appreciated. I am do not believe in basing ratings on service and generally don't comment on service, but it wasn't great. Was told to sit wherever and then had to go up to place my order and it seemed like I was forgotten. Then asked for some chopsticks when my food came and the server said ok, then immediately went to the kitchen and then completely forgot and never ended up giving me any chopsticks. Then at the end had to go back up to pay.

I've been several times now, and each time I go, they are consistently great. We usually order crab wontons and two cardinal rolls. My wife can't get enough of the cardinal rolls.

My son really likes the hand rolls, and he is partial to the avocado and crab one. The service is phenomenal, and they are always welcoming. The inside is quiet and comfortable. We do often use the drive through, but I prefer sitting inside. Don't go changing Yummi Tummi, we love you.

Yummi Tummi has became my personal favorite Sushi spot!…read more When you walk in you immediately get greeted and seated. They even give you the choice of ordering online and picking it up. The staff are very kind, helpful and patient. The food comes out at the perfect pace, it doesn't take long at all. The seating is very comfortable, mainly booths with some half booth and half chairs. They have a bench up front to sit and wait if you ordered food to be picked up. They also have outside seating with umbrellas connected, perfect during the summer time. The atmosphere here is perfect for all different settings, a group of friends, a first date, just you and your significant. One of my favorite things to do is to bring friends from out of town and family members here to try out the Yummi Sushi. Everytime I visit Yummi Tummi I try a new dish or sushi roll, they NEVER disappoint! Their Spicy Steak Ramen is filling! The ramen has a great spice to it, it's not too spicy and has the perfect texture. Their meat in the ramen is delicious and cut perfectly. One of my favorite sushi rolls here is the Spicy Yellowtail Roll. There's really no bad sushi options here. The sushi comes out quickly, fresh, and placed on your plate with elegance and care. It's truly Yummy in my Tummi
