“Saigon Cafe a local gem, w/ bright rooms, outdoor exposure, and friendly staff. Start w/ delicious Nem Nướng Cuon: fresh spring rolls w/ warm crunchy pork cakes within. You might want the warm spices of the Cà ri gà (chicken curry with veg) but I’m a noodle boy, so I picked the Bún bò xào chả giò: flavorful steak w/ charred veg over vermicelli. Really really excellent!“

“Upon placing our first order we were met with a ton of love and respect. She offered to sit us down in her dining room and the atmosphere was movie like. The food was great and she sat down and ralked with us for a little. I most definitely reccomend for dates and outings.“
“Service was quick and great! Food was delicious. When you enter, you order with a cashier and find your own seating. We were seated for about 5 minutes and they were bringing out food out already! We ordered O'miso Spicy, Pho Shizzle, crab ragoon, and crunchy umami. Definitely would recommend it!!!“
“This place is legit! I ordered the comb pho and the combo bun. The broth was amazing. Super beefy, meaty and lots of noodles. Totally hit the spot. I took the comb bun to go and the meat was perfect and not too salty. I also grabbed me a iced coffee. I would come back again for round 2! Shoutout to my waitress Jazmin for being super attentive and helpful!“
“Joyful House is a MUST try! ?Have you heard that restaurants attached to grocery stores are the best hidden gems?! Joyful House definitely lives up to this expectation!My Favs:#4 Goi Cuon: Fresh Spring Rolls (PRO-TIP: these are made to order, so you can request just shrimp or just pork)#42 Lau Canh Chua: Sweet & Sour Soup Hot Pot#39 Stir Fried Chili Tofu&& they have Boba Tea!!“
“During our two-day trip to St. Louis, we dined here twice. The food was excellent, with portions being generously sized. The dumpling soup from the appetizer menu was exceptional. I've never experienced a soup base so rich and comforting.“
“I always come here for my Bahn Mi fix.And keep coming back for the Kindest service in St. Louis.The guy at front has always been kind and super respectful.Today I complimented the smoothness of the pen while i was picking up my order. ?He said I can have it.And I kept asking if he was sure lol.. REALLY NICE PEN!THANKS BRO!“
“The garnishes for the two to-go pho orders I placed were put into the same plastic bag and looked like it was a serving for one person. I didn’t know It was necessary to request ingredients for both orders be entirely separate as I thought that would be a given. What if me and the other person were going in two different directions? Cutting costs on food and supplies at the patrons expense is never a good look. Just make sure you check your bag before you pull off. My order was brought out to my car which I appreciated and the food was delicious. Just wish they hadn’t cheated us on the garnishes.“
“Overdue review. Tried this place when we were visiting family nearby. We had the beef hotpot and it was good. Though a bit on the higher end of the price, serving is generous. Owner is friendly and accomodating. If there are any adjustments needed on the flavor, she said just let her know. I wouldn't compare this to bigger Asian food chains as this is a locally owned restaurant. So yeah, food may take a while to be served as it is only her and another employee prepping the dine in and to-go orders but she will let you know prior to ordering how long the wait time is going to be.“
“Love this little Chinese Restaurant in Webster Groves. Food is delicious, owners are friendly. I love the Hunan Vegetables combination with crab rangoon. Only a few steps away from a nice park in Old Orchard to eat outside. I can walk from my house. My favorite Chinese Restaurant in St. louis. Inexpensive. Great for take-out! Also features Vietnamese food as well.“
“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.“
