“Good Bibimbap always satisfying!“

“Me and my friends stopped by this restaurant and found it pretty cost-effective. It turns out that our decision was 100% correct! I had the pork katsuya and my friends stopped got an Alaska sushi box. Both of them were extraordinarily tasty and the staff here were also super nice. Our meal came out pretty fast, and my pork was fried very well and crispy. Will definitely come back for more meals!“

“Amazing flavors! We went two days this week! Beef and chicken Bibimbop were the best we have ever had! Lots of veggies, sauce and rice. Second trip was sushi and rangoons and they were freshly made and great. So glad we have found this restaurant!“

“Great“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“Best sushi in Chesterfield hands down. Their gyoza is the best I’ve had in STL and their fish is fresh. They are reasonably priced for the good quality and have a diverse menu. Never had a bad experience or bad menu item here. Their staff is friendly and fast. Highly recommend Fin!“

“Delicious Pad Thai! Love this place. 10/10“

“The best all around staff in Kirkwood. Thank you for helping to make a wonderful birthday dinner for my daughter! Can’t wait to see you all again!“

“Hands down my favorite sushi place in St. Louis. Incredible food and friendly staff. I am always glad to introduce friends to the magic of Ocha's sushi!“

“Love that I can get Korean and Sushi in one location. Sushi was fresh and delicious. We had the pork katsu which came with miso soup and salad. Also ordered some squid salad, seaweed salad and gyoza. The spicy squid dinner had just enough heat not overly spicy. They dont have Korean BBQ that you can cook at the table. But there are plenty of food options. It was nice surprise to get the complimentary pineapple and the end of the meal, super refreshing. Will come back again!“

“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.“

“Eating here is a must if you visit St Louis. My boyfriend and I went two days in a row. The service was amazing, the sushi is very high quality, it comes out quickly, and the cheesecake tempura is divine. 10/10“

“food, staff, outdoor dining :)“

“My husband and I have been dining here for 13 years and it has always been a wonderful experience. Carrie is a new server that we had the other night and she made sure that we had another positive experience dining in. The food, atmosphere, and service is always phenomenal!“

“G-san Kitchen in St. Louis was a great stop for a good meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. The katsu stood out, and the ramen was just as enjoyable. Overall, it was a warm, easy dining experience and definitely a place I’d be happy to visit again.“

“This is a cool experience if you never had hotpot before. You pick the base broth (you can pick 2), and order ingredients you like and pretty much cook your own food on the table. Everything is cooked in hot broth, so definitely super healthy. Lots of veggie selections, meat, seafood and starch. It is in the heart of the loop and very lively area all the time. There is a big free public parking lot in the back of the main area but you pretty much need to walk to where you want to be.“

“I have been coming to this restaurant since I was a little kid, over a decade at this point, and the quality of their meals have not changed. The hospitality alone is enough to make me want to come back regularly, but the fact that the food has stayed consistently amazing for my whole life is incredible. Thai Nivas will forever be one of my favorite local places to grab a bite to eat!“

“Would recommend it’s very good“

“We had a wonderful experience! There are tons of different sushi options and an extensive menu of traditional style dishes. The Sukiyaki is to die for! I highly recommend Ichiban for anyone wanting to explore a more traditional style that's full of flavor.“

“Try the Ocean Pyramid it’s amazing!“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. Loved it �“

“We stopped in for a quick Thai lunch while passing by, and enjoyed it very much. The large lunch menu was impressive, and the service on a busy Friday was excellent. And kudos to whomever picked the chairs in the dining room….very comfortable!

Looking forward to returning.“

“Literally the best chicken fried rice I've ever had in my life. I would eat here every day if I could, but we're a drives out. Regardless, its absolutely worth eating here. Its better than going to a hibachi restaurant, and far cheaper, too. The only downside is that I don't have a bigger spoon to scope more rice into my mouth at once.“

“From out of state while my mother was in the hospital, I ordered online and went to pick up my order. I mistakenly placed the order at the wrong location. Rebecca, the manager, was so helpful and understanding. She was very professional, as was Ana, the hostess. I will be back. Thank you.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants. It has a wonderful Mongolian barbecue along with an incredible assortment of Asian foods. Their hot and sour soup is one of the best I’ve ever had. The sushi is very good and the service is always been polite and very attentive to clear plates. I have never been rushed as I enjoy talking endlessly to friends while eating here. The bathrooms are elegant and very clean however, I think the bathroom doors are very heavy. I believe that is why they are usually blocked open. They also have very quiet hand dryers. The lobby is also elegant , the doors are hard to open because there is a very strong air handling system that keeps fresh air circulated I enjoy bringing friends here For a relaxing meal and conversation. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good place to eat.“
