“Staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating of allergies and questions. I was unfamiliar with ordering boba and they explained a variety of options and flavors. I've tried several and they've all been good. The pork eggs rolls, spring rolls, and pho are all great 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.“
“The bread they use is absolutely phenomenal. Both of our sandwiches were loaded with fresh toppings. The worker was very friendly and helpful for us first-timers, and we'll definitely be back! The addition of a Hi Chew candy is super fun, too.“
“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!!!“
“Had a good time visiting on a Saturday around 4pm. The place was a bit hard to find because their sign is pretty small. Service was amazing, quick and thorough. Jenny checked on us throughout the night and made us feel very welcomed. The food portions were huge for us! We each got an entree and shared 3 appetizers and it was much more than enough food for us 4. Our favorites were the bo lúc lắc and calamari. The noodles and the lemon grass chicken we ordered were a bit on the salty side but flavor was definitely there. Place was nice and really clean. Parking is street parking.“

It’s clean and bright!“
“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!“
“I liked the majority of the food. Number 68, the shrimp was actually so bad. However, the rest of the bowl was nice if you added chili oil. The cilantro stems were a little too long for my liking though. Number 11 was delicious. The service was nice. Keep in mind that I am not familiar with this type of food. Overall, the food was great.“
“Though this is a small establishment with a limited menu, they excel! I’ve visited 4 times in 2 weeks and keep trying the same dish. The spicy pork belly rice bowl has me in a choke hold. It’s the perfect thing to warm you up and the flavors are so developed and complex for such a simple dish. I also love the spring rolls with beef and shrimp. I’ll definitely be returning.“
“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.“
“Fresh, fast and tasty.The way how the menu is structured, you can mix any combination of noodles, rice or buns with a variety of proteins and sauces.I tried the vermicelli with shrimp and sweet and sour sauce and it was very good. They baos were also great either way the peanut sauce.“
