“Edit..we have been back since my review.The rude guy at the door is gone. Everyone is friendly and the food is beyond amazing!!Make sure if you want to try this place out, you make reservations. My friend and I decided last minute to try the restaurant out because I had read about it on line. When we arrived, we were informed that there would be a wait. I asked about seating at the bar because most places it is open seating. Let me tell you the host was so condescending that it was uncomfortable. There is no waiting area and he acted alarmed that I was going to approach the bar to get a glass of wine. He then informed us it was a 2 hour wait. After driving around forever trying to find a place to park and having much anticipation of trying Sado we just left. I rarely leave a bad review anywhere but I realize this place is new and hope they work on their customer service. I am sure the food will be amazing“
“Was in the mood for tuna bowl or some sort of bowl that was healthy and we happened to be down the street the Honey Bee when this place came up and saw that I had 37 minutes to get there and get my bowl lol.This place is hidden in a corner and can't see it so you have to know where to look....I passed it once But we walked in on a Saturday afternoon at 1:30. My daughter and I were planning on ordering and taking it to go since they close at 2. But, the lady(assuming owner) was inviting, didn't seemed bothered that we came in right before closing so we ordered our food to dine in.Daughter got their squid fried sticks and chicken tenders (she's 9 don't judge lol). She liked both of them and said were very good. I did try a bit of her chicken tenders and chicken was fresh not dried....wasn't expecting much for tendies but was impressed. I of course got the beef bulgogi with the egg on top. It was so good and extremely filling! We even ordered the chicken tenders at 1:47 at our food and was out by 2! I also over heard the lady literally taking a to go order with 5 minutes before closing. I love how accommodating and kind she was. The kinda service that makes me def want to come back and want to dry their other stuff. Def recommend giving it a try. It's nothing fancy.....food is served on to go containers, paper plates, plastic cups, etc. the chairs weigh a ton lol. But the food and service is top notch“
“My girlfriend and I were really craving sushi, but our usual place was closed on Mondays. We thought about Top Sushi since we passed by it all the time and never went and said, "Let's try it out."We were stunned by how delicious it was! We got 3 rolls and some spring rolls. Highly recommend the Crab Rangoon Roll!The gentleman who greeted us was very welcoming and couldn't have been nicer. The inside was very quaint and cozy. Simple seating and some music to enjoy while you eat.We will absolutely visit here again!“
“Every time I come the food is great. The price point is amazing for the food you get. Sushi rolls are always excellent and I order the same thing everytime but I always get a different hot food option whether it’s egg rolls, crab Rangoon, etc. and it’s always good! Hate the parking on Delmar and wish they had more locations but it’s worth it.“
“The food was hot and delicious.The service was excellent; very attentive and knowledgeable.Very, very clean and comfortable atmosphere.The only unfortunate business process was that they charge a percentage of you pay using debit/credit card. If you pay using cash is not an issue.I will be a returning customer paying with cash.“
“July 2023 update - My friend and I came back a couple times and the food has improved. Will be back again, increasing to four stars.Original review: My boyfriend and I have heard so many great reviews about Nudo House so we decided to try it! The ambiance was great - very modern and inviting; the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I asked what their suggestion would be and they said you can't go wrong with the classic Nudo or the Bahn Mi so we ordered both, but sadly it was very underwhelming. The flavor wasn't rich or flavorful like we expected, and the noodles tasted like instant ramen, kinda rubbery and very bland. Maybe it was just an off day for them but it was highly disappointing, especially after reading all the amazing reviews!Their Mai Lee restaurant, however, is incredible.“
“Had the 4 course omakase dinner here, and it was amazing. The interior decor is beautiful, elegant, simple. The setting is intimate, and definitely gives and elevated vibe. The service is impeccable. Each course they brought was a hit. The fish was very fresh and skillfully prepared. I appreciated that all of the fish had minimal sauces or seasonings, thus letting its natural flavor shine. Definitely a great place for a special occasion!“
“Wonderful food. Elegantly presented sashimi, sushi, takoyaki, gyoza, udon, don buri (bowls of food), and other Japanese options. Many many types of sushi rolls. In total, there is not only more than standard Japanese fare, but it is also delicious, high quality, and beautifully presented. Many different sakes, mixed drinks, and Japanese beers along with international Gin, bourbon, tequila, rum options. They even have Japanese soda pop. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely decor with exquisite hand painted scenes. I had been there once before and couldn’t wait to go back for seconds to show my adult son who also, this day enjoyed his food immensely.“
“We really do love "I Love Mr. Sushi" and find ourselves returning time and time again for high quality, fresh, and delicious food at a reasonable price. The Crab Rangoon Roll is a true winner, especially for skeptical sushi-goers who fear raw fish. Kind and attentive staff with quick service put the cherry on top of this Olivette gem. 5 stars.Edit: The Hot Mama Roll is DELISH!“
“Ocha Thai is part of my regular rotation with Uber Eats delivery. The pad Thai, yellow curry, and udon noodles are all amazing. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable and the portions large. I will miss this spot when I leave St. Louis.“
“If you’re looking for a lot of grocery store quality sushi for a good price and great vibe this is your spot.The fish wasn’t the best , the rice fell apart, but the drinks were strong and the portions were great for the price.Service was exceptional and they all look like they’re having fun and treated well! Check this spot out and come hungry!“
“I have come here several times over the past several years. Today I noticed they were slammed. I took note of everyone working the front including the cook running in and out. Despite a rush, everyone was still very good spirited and polite. I was just sitting back waiting my turn and thinking I should take this time to make a review. The food is great and the people are always nice. I strongly recommend this place.Kid-friendliness: There's a play center for kids here.“
“Great tasting and great price. My buddy ate 5 rolls on the "All you can eat menu". Not sure how he did it, but he did. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that they used way too much cream cheese in their rolls. Over powers the fish and other ingredients. I will be back for sure.“
“I absolutely loved this place, The atmosphere is excellent and the service is perfect. Came in got seat, got food in less than 10mins, ate and left. Sushi was good and my wife's teriyaki chicken wasn't dry which is common at most sushi places. Highly recommend!!!“
“We love supporting small local business. I realized I haven't written about Ichiban- my favorite sushi restaurant in St. Louis. We have been customers here for about 5 years or so. We came here at least once a week. We usually ordered to go during the weekdays and dined in on the weekends.The owners treat and talk to us like family. Our go to orders are hamachi sashimi, spicy crazy roll, hamachi Kama (yellowtail collar), spider rolls and eel avocado rolls. Last night, I was in a mood for grilled fish so I ordered saba shioyaki combo. It came with ginger house salad, and miso soup. I absolutely loved the ginger dressing here - the owner made it herself. The restaurant is quite spacious, and clean. Highly recommend.“
“Foodie Friyay!Newish spot on the Delmar Loop, G-San Kitchen, is serving up Japanese dishes. Chef-owner Gavin Gao, who likes the casual vibe of izakayas, aims to bring a unique pub experience to University City. Gao owns bubble tea eateries currently but wanted to open a spot offering whiskey, sake, wine, and Japanese beer.G-San offers katsu, skewered meats, ramen and other various veggies, appetizers, rice plates. We started with edamame, shrimp dumplings and spring rolls. I had the shrimp rice plate and shrimp skewers. My shrimp were plump and huge.Our server was knowledgeable about the menu because you know foodies, we have a lot of questions. Ha!“
“Ok, coming from sushi in Seattle and Vancouver, BC, no sushi in st Louis come close quality wise. That being said, most sushi here isn't bad either. Now that we have those conditions it's more about value for me. The sushi AI all you can eat special is the absolute best value you will get for sushi anywhere I've found. Rolls, nigiri, miso soup, you name it. It was all just as good as any overpriced location I've been to.“
“This evening was my first time trying Thai Nivas and I will absolutely be back! They have a very big menu. My fiancé and I both enjoyed our meal - we definitely recommend any of the curry.They had 1 server for the whole floor while hosting numerous big groups (including a party of 20+), and still made sure we got our food as efficiently as the kitchen could produce our order.“
“Local spot for just Asian food. Sounds generic to call it generic, but this place has the biggest menu I have ever seen at an Asian restaurant. There is so many Sushi options - rolls, sashimi, a decent Thai menu, Chinese cuisine options, traditional Japanese cuisine items and more! And, if that isn't enough, there were three boards on the wall with another ~20 options AND a flip board on the table with at least that many more! Honestly, it was bit overwhelming, but not in a bad way. Service was very efficient and almost overly attentive. Super quick service and food delivery. I went with the all-you-can-eat lunch for $15 - miso soup (3.75/5): pretty decent. Traditional. - Thai spring rolls (3.75/5): serving of 3. Seemed freshly made vs frozen. Lots of cabbage. Decent. - tempura shrimp roll: (4.25/5) really good. I would order this again. - yellowtail spicy roll: (3.25/5) Ok. Not spicy. Texture of the fish knocked it back for me. It was kind of a smashed fish vs a filet. Maybe this is traditional...? Anyhow, not my favorite roll. I would come back again.“
“Everything you need from a sushi bar, you can get at Kampai. Sushi roll served on fire? They have it. Can't decide and want the chef to surprise you with a meal? They'll do it. Don't know which sake or soju you like? They have flights.The wait staff were so courteous and attentive. The entire restaurant was clean and has a lot of natural lighting. We had several types of sushi rolls, green tea mochi ice cream, and sake flights. Everything was delicious and presented beautifully.“
“Oishi Sushi was overall a great experience! The service was fast and very attentive. The sushi was excellent and the restaurant is clean! I came for dinner on a weekday and was seated immediately with efficient service the whole time!My only qualm is with the pricing as I find that their quality is not any different than cheaper sushi options I frequent.“
“I have celiac disease which, in very watered down terms, is a gluten allergy. I was nervous coming in because as a celiac, trying new restaurants is really scary when you know you might get sick.if you ask, they're super accommodating! my waitress was super nice and super patient and happily found an old copy of an allergen menu for me. as you'd expect, there aren't a whole lot of options available when it comes to rolls; there's spicy tuna, the california roll, etc. HOWEVER, there's tons of options when it comes to sashimi and nigiri! the fish is fresh and melts in your mouth and, above all, the staff is friendly, diverse, and all have really cool tattoos lol. thanks for the good food! :)Dietary restrictions: They happily make accommodations for gluten allergies!“
“I've been going to this location since they opened many many years ago. I have always loved the food and while it has had its ups and downs in the quality it is still delicious in my mind chicken teriyaki double meat with noodles and vegetables is the best thing you can “
“When coming to place it can be a bit confusing due to the construction in front but when going in its actually a great place to hangout with your friends. Food was good and atmosphere was cozy. Just wish there was a lil more help with figuring out how to order or putting away plates. Overall 8/10 would recommend giving this place a try.Kid-friendliness: A few different claw machines and super vibrant colors.“
“This sushi spot far exceeded my expectations. It is run out of an unassuming location, but the food is delicious, the pricing represents excellent value, the waitstaff are polite and attentive, and the restaurant is kept very clean. Those who have eaten at Sushi Ai will probably find this restaurant similar in many ways. It's a great spot to grab a healthy lunch for just a little more than the cost of fast food ($12.99 for 2 rolls, 2 additional sushi pieces, and an appetizer).“
“First time diner at Wasabi. First off, I can't believe I am leaving a 5 star rating based on the circumstances tonight. The food was excellent...some of the best sushi I have had in a while. But the place was packed...a complete madhouse...it was $7 roll night plus the night before Valentine's Day. Placed our order quickly and were excited for our rolls. The wait on our sushi order was over an hour which under normal circumstance would have me ballistic.What made this a 5 star experience was our amazing server, Michelle. She was incredibly good at her job...managed our expectations from the very beginning regarding the wait time for sushi and why things were going to take longer than normal. She also repeatedly mentioned that she hoped the long wait would not impact our decision to come back in the future...and is exactly what happened because of her care and attention to the situation.I dine out every day and was so impressed at how she managed our table. It is truly a rarity in this day and age to have someone so poised, professional and friendly able to manage our expectations the way she did given difficult circumstances. Thank you, Michelle!PS. we ordered the Philadelphia roll, the Batman Roll, the Yummy Roll and the Spicy Omega Roll...all beautifully presented and absolutely delicious...our favorite was the Spicy Omega.“
