    Fruity Pebbles and French Toast Bingsu
    Chloe L.

    Stopped by right before the crowd rolled in, and both bingsu were ready in about 10 minutes. As someone trying bingsu for the first time, I wasn't sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations. The ice was soft, fluffy, and almost melt-in-your-mouth, while the cereal toppings added a fun crunch. The portions are huge and easily shareable. Overall, a refreshing dessert and a great first bingsu experience.

    Biscoff Caramel

    I love the comfy, but fun atmosphere of this place! You can order on a kiosk, but also order with a worker I believe. It can get very busy during peak hours, so be patient with the staff! We tried the Regular sized Caramel Biscoff bingsu (shaved ice) and it was the perfect amount for 2 people sharing. Their items always hit the right spot! I loved the taste of the Biscoff cookie crumble on top and the condensed milk is an excellent topping. It was delicious, and I can't wait to go back to try more of their menu options soon. Thanks!

    Oreo Bingsu (to go ~15 minutes from order)
    James D.

    I love bingsu and this place is pretty good. While the wait can sometimes be a bit long, especially during prime dessert hours, it's always worth it for me. I usually get the oreo, and always wish I had two. While I've never eaten inside the cafe itself, it always seems very nice and clean when I go to pick it up, and I never mind waiting inside when it's busy. Overall, great place for a nice, cold dessert.

    Strawberry milk tea

    I happened to stop in here as I was leaving the DMV and it was a nice, clean shop with reasonable prices. It's not the best milk tea I've had and came with unflavored boba but it was good. I like how I could order from the kiosk. The barista was very pleasant so I wouldn't mind going back if in the area.

    Spoonful is a trendy and great place if you are looking to get delicious Korean shaved ice. They also have great bubble tea and other desserts. The staff is very friendly and the work hard to handcraft each dish which may cause a bit of delay in getting your food, it is well worth the wait.

    Apple Cinnamon Taiyaki
    Wanda H.

    A wonderful place! The boba tea was delicious and the Taiyaki was VERY tasty. I'd never had it before and was impressed. Not overly sweet, with just the right amount of flavoring. They have other things I've never heard of before that I'll definitely be back to try. Service was a little slow, but worth the wait. Cute place for being in a strip mall. Prices were okay.

    peach tea with lychee jelly
    Shelly T.

    Went earlier in the day so it was quieter in the cafe. Super clean and the workers were SO nice! The bingsu was really refreshing (probably also because it's been extremely hot out) and the fruit was really fresh too! We got a small bingsu and it was still a lot for two of us. Tons of drink options; we got a coffee (quite strong) and a tea!

    Tiramisu bingsu
    Mishell H.

    Went here since I was in the west county area and wanting a little treat. Ordered the tiramisu bingsu. It was amazing! There have a decent sized menu so it was hard to decide what to get but definitely enjoyed my pick! Service was quick and timely. I was greeted right as I walked in the door. Restaurant is located by a few other restaurants and businesses and has ample parking. It was clean and modern inside. Def a must try and I will def go back next time I am in the area

    Tiramisu bingsu
    Monica M.

    Great spot!!! The sweet red bean taiyaki, the matcha boba, and the tiramisu bingsu are all phenomenal. So many flavor options for each. Super cute shop with a good amount of seating so you can stay and enjoy. Fair prices and good portion sizes.

    Nutella Taiyaki
    Kat G.

    2nd here and once again excellent service, food and drink items. The Nutella taiyaki was warm, sweet and had a perfect amount of Nutella. The apple cinnamon taiyaki was a little too sweet 'for me' but very good. The place was packed out tonight, Sunday at 7:00 but we had our drinks and food within 10 mins.

    Mango Tango Bingsu
    Victoria W.

    I recently took a summer road trip with the family up to St. Louis, where our extended family live. We usually do an annual trip and I've never really experienced great Asian foods, but this trip was very different. I really enjoyed my Spoonful experience! The inside is very cutely decorated for the gram, which I wouldn't have guessed based off the location in the strip mall. They have a cute photo wall and it was very crowded, which tells me the bingsu is on point, which indeed it was. I got the individual sized mango bingsu, which if I recall correctly, their individual size is only available during the week. Every bite was flavorful and tasty. I would definitely come back and try some of their other flavors on our next family vacation!

    Leah N.

    I have been to spoonful several times in the last two years. In the past I had their bingsu and I did tried quite a few of their many flavors. Out of all the flavors I have tried. I like the mango bingsu the most, not overly sweet at all. The taiyaki in the past only had two flavors. I did tried the red bean and Nutella, today I saw that they also added the apple cinnamon flavor. Today since I was already full from eating Korean food at the next door restaurant , me and my friend decided to just get bubble tea. Their price on bubble tea is fair. I got the whipped dalgona today and my friend got their tiger sugar. The level of sweetness that I get is seventy five percent here since I like sweet, fifty percent is perfect for my friend since she doesn't like her drink as sweet. The bubble tea is not something I would go here to get if I am not in the area since I had better. However for the bingsu, I will.

    Jason H.

    One word: Bingsu! And Taiyaki?!! Yes! Amazing! And the service is quick! Super clean and cute location. Can't wait for it to be franchised!

    I thought it was mid. The boba was good but the boba tea was very mild. The bingsu was very underwhelming.

I liked the art on the walls and the K-pop playing. On to the menu.... The All You Can Eat (AYCE) selection at WUDON is not AYCE. Unlike all AYCE KBBQ restaurants, WUDON limits selective items that you can order more than once. At AYCE sushi or other BBQs, once you select AYCE, everything can be ordered as much as you want. To top it off, you are required to share a soup, a pancake, and steamed egg. I was disappointed to find that you had to share those items and could not order more. Not exactly "all you can eat". And, like other reviewers, the galbi, or short rib, platter is a one-time order deal. That's..... unheard of for a $28.99 AYCE weekend lunch. St. Louis does not have many Asian cuisine options, especially Korean, so I always try to be understanding if the quality or service isn't the best. My issue is that they should not call a menu selection "all you can eat" if there are contingencies on how many times you can order certain items. I would pay $15 for All you can eat here, not $30+. If you are looking for a first time experience doing AYCE KBBQ in St. Louis, by all means, try WUDON. Since LA, NY, and Chicago are too far to get AYCE KBBQ that is worth it, WUDON is the next (somewhat good) choice.

    A Great Hole-in-the-Wall Korean Spot…read more I was really in the mood for Korean food, and as Korean culture has become more mainstream, I've noticed that some Korean restaurants have started to feel a bit commercialized. As someone who cooks Korean food myself and spent time living in Korea, sometimes you just want a simple, authentic, no-frills spot that focuses on the food. Thankfully, Asian Kitchen Korean Cuisine, located at 8423 Olive Blvd., St. Louis, MO, delivered exactly that. I knew I was probably in the right place as soon as I walked in and was greeted by one of the owners, whose direct and no-nonsense personality reminded me of many family-run restaurants I've visited over the years. It gave the place a lot of character. I kept my order simple and went with the beef bulgogi, while my sister ordered the chicken bulgogi. Both came with rice and kimchi. We also shared an order of vegetable potstickers, which were fried perfectly. Everything was delicious. The food had a homemade quality that felt comforting and authentic. The bulgogi was flavorful, the kimchi was satisfying, and the potstickers were easily one of the highlights of the meal. We ordered everything to go, so unfortunately I didn't get any photos, but the food definitely spoke for itself. One thing to keep in mind is that there may be a bit of a wait, but that's because the food is prepared fresh. If you're willing to be patient, it's well worth it. Overall, if you're looking for solid Korean food in the St. Louis area and don't mind a straightforward, family-run atmosphere, Asian Kitchen is a great choice. 4 out of 5 stars.

But…read moreunfortunately things are not the same anymore since they seem to give less banchan than they used to, and the menu appears to be smaller than back then, and they appeared to do some renovations since then. Despite that, the seafood pancake was crispy and yummy. The fried rice was alright, but it could use a little more seasoning. I was going to get omurice, but it's no longer on the menu so they need to either put it back on the menu or take the photo of that dish down near the entrance. Also, it was very warm and a little humid inside.

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while but since it's a bit out of the city and in the…read moresuburbs, I didn't walk in with super high expectations. I'm Korean and grew up with Korean food in Chicago, so I know what the real thing tastes like, and this is the real thing. I got the soondae stew and it completely hit the spot. The flavor profile was so authentic and satisfying!! Came out boiling still, so fresh. The banchan selection was great too and the waitress was really sweet about bringing more if you wanted. My only small note is that I wished the side dishes came out a little earlier rather than alongside the main food, because I was starving by the time everything arrived! But that's a minor thing. There's also a karaoke spot right next door that I heard gets pretty lively at night. I haven't made it over there yet but that is absolutely next on my list. 한동안 이곳에 가보고 싶었는데, 시내에서 좀 떨어진 외곽에 있다 보니 솔직히 기대를 크게 하지 않았어요. 그런데 깜짝 놀랐어요. 순대국을 시켰는데 정말 맛있었어요. 맛의 깊이가 딱 제가 찾던 그 느낌이었어요. 반찬 종류도 다양하고 좋았고, 웨이트리스분도 친절하게 더 가져다 주셔서 너무 좋았어요. 한 가지 아쉬운 점은 반찬이 메인 음식이랑 같이 나왔으면 하는 거예요. 너무 배고픈 상태였거든요 그래도 사소한 부분이에요. 바로 옆에 노래방도 있는데 밤에 꽤 활기차다고 들었어요. 아직 가보진 못했지만 다음엔 꼭 가볼 생각이에요.

    TLDR: Good Food, But A Lot of Red Flags…read more I had been wanting to try Shabu Day for a while and finally made it out. The food was honestly really good -- but there is a lot this place needs to fix before I can fully recommend it. The first thing that hit me when I walked in was the smell. And not in a good way. It smelled like a sewer. Not what you want when you are about to sit down and eat. It lingered the entire time we were there and was really hard to get past. The front of the restaurant looks okay at first glance. But once you sit down you start noticing things. The tables are wobbly and clearly rigged up with makeshift fixes. Extension cords are running visibly across the floor which looks bad and feels unsafe. The menus and sauce bottles were sticky -- like they had not been wiped down in a long time. Little things like that add up fast. I caught a glimpse of the back of the house and it looked grimy and dirty. That is a problem at any restaurant, but especially at a place where you are cooking your own food right at the table. The staff were not very welcoming either. They were hard to find when you needed something and did not seem very interested in making sure you were having a good time. Now here is the thing -- the food was actually fresh and delicious. The broth was flavorful and the ingredients were good quality. That part genuinely impressed me. But for the price they are charging? The total package is just not there yet. Good food can only carry a restaurant so far. They need to clean things up -- literally -- before I come back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ UPDATE: One more thing worth mentioning that I think is really important. Shabu Day is strictly all you can eat -- and that is the only option they offer. For most people that is fine. But for anyone with a medical condition that limits how much they can eat, this format is a serious problem. You are being charged full all you can eat prices for food you physically cannot consume in that quantity. That is not fair and it is not inclusive. A lot of restaurants in this space offer a la carte or smaller portion options for exactly this reason. Shabu Day should do the same. It is a simple change that would make a big difference for a lot of people and would show that they actually care about all of their customers -- not just the ones who can eat the most. Clean things up, fix the smell, train your staff to be more welcoming, and give people a fair way to order. The foundation is there. Now build on it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
