    3 Street Tacos
    Rebecca R.

    I got the trio of street tacos. First, the meat was overcooked, no matter taste. Speaking of taste, all three meats were marinated or cooked with a very sweet sauce. It took a lot of lemon juice, jalapeno sauce and salt to make it okay. The corn tortillas were soft yet durable, thumbs up for that. If sweet meat is your thing... This is right up your alley!

    3 seoul tacos - two spicy pork and one bulgogi steak

    holy cow this may be one of my favorite taco spots ever. it offers beautiful balance of flavors and textures in its tacos, burritos, nachos, and more. this is an amazing fusion restaurant in the loop, and it now catches my eye each time i pass it. me and my friends come often for the 15 year anniversary taco tuesdays and each tuesday as i walk out, i look forward to the next. the staff at the front are always very nice and orders are ready quickly. seoul taco has a very unique and eye catching interior, with lots of wall decor, luminescent lights, and graffiti style art.

    Gogi Bowl - chicken
    Jessica H.

    Went in for a late night dinner with the bf, his first time in, my first time back in a couple years. WOW this place sure has changed since covid. Arrived at 8:30 and there were maybe 2 other tables already seated. You order at a tablet up front and pick a table and wait for your order to be called, pretty standard setup to find these days on Delmar. I enjoyed the tea varieties they offer and settled with a mandarin cardamom tea, definitely sweetened. For food we got the trio sampler of tacos favorite was probably the chicken. And also ordered a spicy chicken bowl. Food was out fast, I'd say like 8 mins tops. Everything looked great! Lots of color to the plates and the greens weren't wilted or soggy that tends to happen with some of the bowl places. The egg was perfectly runny too! But sadly something just wasn't right. It's like everything was bland or sweet without having complexity that Korean food is known for. Felt as if these plates were something I would have thrown together at home not knowing the right portions of sauce or seasoning. Idk it's hard to put a finger on but definitely not the food I recall that brought me in initially. Maybe a new menu revamp is due or idk maybe I just need to not expect so much from them... I was fed, service was a tablet so can't say much and I didn't get sick. You decide for yourself :)

    Pros: - the decoration and space are very picturesque and welcoming - the fusion of Mexican/korean is pretty well done! The food was pretty good Cons: - the staff were quite rude and unfriendly, even though the restaurant was not busy (we waited at the counter for over 20 minutes to get service) - the wait time for food was ridiculous as well, especially for the small orders we placed (and again, the restaurant was NOT busy at all!) Overall, I would not recommend going again. Wish the experience was better because the menu looked promising!

    I recently visited it has been Asians things were different. You know order on a kiosk at least that was the case on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the bulgogi bowl with spicy pork. A combination of rice, mixed greens, spicy pork shredded carrots and a fried egg on top. Don't forget the gochujang on the side. I don't get over here very often but it's always worth the visit. That are always playing 90s and early 2000s hip hop. It's a good hang. Check them out if you have, swing back for another visit.

    Bulgogi steak taco, you can't go wrong!

    Funky-vibe Korean tacos joint! Kinda funny there are no Koreans in sight, in or out of the kitchen but hey, it's St Louis. Plenty offered here for a quick satisfying bite. The bulgogi steak tacos were stuffed to the brim, yum! And while here, don't pass on the restrooms...they will bring you back in time to the West Village, NYC circa 1979!

    Chicken Quesadilla Chips & Queso
    Annie D.

    A go to place for me in St. Louis when I lived here so I try to visit when I am back in town. Service is usually quick and the food is always good. I get the chicken quesadilla with no sauce and no greens with chips and queso. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

    Spicy pork burrito
    Lucy S.

    Seoul Taco is one of my favorite places to go if I want a quick, easy, and filling meal. I especially like the spicy pork burrito and gogi bowls. I always ask for the sauces on the side in the burrito (Seoul sauce, wasabi mayo, and sour cream) and then add the sauce afterward. If I'm not super hungry the burrito could definitely last for two meals. My friend got the sweet potato waffle fries and we were pleasantly surprised by how good they were! They came with Seoul sauce and were very crispy and fresh. Service was fast, and there is plenty of seating in the restaurant. Our table was a little dirty but it's more of a self-service where you clean your own table and put your trays in the return area. I'll definitely be back!

    My visit the other night was just okay. I ordered the chicken tacos and a side of sweet potato fries that I shared with my friend. My friend ordered a bowl with salad and chicken. While the food came out quick, I can't say that it tasted very fresh and the chicken was really tough. I also had to throw a taco away because I saw a bug crawling in it....no idea if bugs were in the other tacos, but I had already eaten them so oops! The booths were all messed up and some of the seating was torn which made the space look old and outdated. I think the vibe could be better, but I was just not sure what was happening that night. It was dimly lit and the service was just okay. Not sure if the guy working to take our order wanted to be there. Overall, I think this was just "meh" and I am not sure I want to go back.

    Kimchi Slaw
    Chris G.

    What's not to like. Soul taco is amazing. If you like Korean food and tacos, you will be in pure heaven. If you don't... you will be in pure heaven. Try the kimchi slaw! The tacos are top-tier. A must try when visiting the Delmar Loop.

    Elote quesadilla and Kimchi slaw
    Jen M.

    Everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences, and I really admire a person who works hard to share their experiences with others. I loved reading about the history of this small St Louis-based regional chain. I got the elote quesadilla and my husband and daughter got...other quesadillas. We usually try to try different things. I wish we would have but anyway, sometimes we fail. I was not super thrilled with my elote quesadilla. I liked my daughter's beef one better. I was more happy with my kimchi slaw. My daughter found her quesadilla to be harder to eat and messier than expected due to the way the sauces had been squirted on the top. I wouldn't mind trying more things on the menu, the items sound inventive and interesting. Unfortunately it's not at all a pleasant space to be in. It's quite a large area but is mostly empty. The chairs are not comfortable, the bench is worse. Broken and worn down. Tables are sticky and wobbly. They put some effort into decorating, otherwise, but it's just not a nice place to be. They have a constant loop playing LOUD. A thumping bass beat. None of us liked the sound at all, to the point that it would prevent us from returning here when we come back in town. Between the bad seating and the loud annoying sound, it really felt like they were trying to chase us out. Well, it worked. Maybe if they wanted to be sure people wouldn't be lingering at all the tables, they could just add more tables?

    Gogi Bowl with Chicken, Cup of Queso, Kimchi Slaw
    Cleo G.

    This place intrigued me. If a Korean-Mexican fusion restaurant doesn't entice you, I don't know what will. In terms of vibes, it's very casual. You walk up to the counter, order, and sit down to wait. There is a lot of seating though so I wouldn't worry about not finding a seat. One thing I wanted to note was that the server at the counter was so kind and offered to let us taste the kimchi slaw and kimchi fried rice before we ordered them. That right there is good service and a really nice touch. We ordered 2 gogi bowls with chicken, one with regular rice and one with kimchi fried rice. We also got a cup of Queso and a side of kimchi slaw. It took longer than we thought for the food to come out but it wasn't an atrocious amount of time. Just something to keep in mind, because it wasn't that busy when we were there. Gogi Bowl with chicken: Very good. The egg yolk is perfectly runny, the chicken is super flavorful and a really nice texture, it comes with lots of veggies (which we were craving), and has a Korean inspired sauce in it. You also get a side of gochujang with the bowl but in my opinion, there needs to be more flavor coming from the first sauce or other sauces. But it was still SO good, especially because I added the queso on top of mine to really seal in that Mexican aspect of it, and I highly recommend that. If you want extra spice and flavor, I'd definitely opt for the kimchi fried rice as your base instead of the white rice, but the white rice lets the other flavors shine more so it really is a personal choice. Kimchi Slaw: Highly highly recommend!!! Absolutely delicious. Wasn't super kimchi forward, but as someone who loves slaw and vinegar and Asian flavors, it really hit the spot. A great way to add more flavor to your bowl as well. Queso: Your standard queso, nothing too special, but gave great flavor and added nuance to the very Korean centric bowl. We didn't try the burrito or the tacos but that's something I'd look into next time!!

    It's more like 2.7 stars This place has gone down. It was one of my fav spots to grab something quick. Back home and decided to stop in, I first went to the Grove location but the girl who I'm assuming was the cook was back there eating tacos talking on her phone(thru earpiece) it didn't feel clean so I decided to leave. My friend mentioned there was a location in the Loop. Now I thought that location had closed well it did but they moved over to another spot in the Loop. Walked in was immediately greeted. I liked the cashier's energy. Ordered a bowl that came out really quick. We left I opened box in the car and although the presentation looked good, the taste wasn't. It was bland and didn't seem fresh. The "hot" sauce was at the very bottom, and it was very little of it. Nothing at all how it used to be. I hate to say it, but this was probably my last visit. I must mention that the Grove location was completely empty, and Loop had 2 people dining in. That says alot!

    So glad to have Grand Bistro back in my life! The food is just as good as I remember from when it…read morewas Pho Grand, and honestly, the service when I went with friends last week was incredible. I knew they don't take reservations and won't seat an incomplete party, but I still got there a little early just to see if we could grab a table for five. I was surprised (in a good way) when they seated me before everyone else arrived. I even told the hostess I didn't mind waiting, but she encouraged me to go ahead and sit, which was really nice. Our server was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of while I waited. As my friends started arriving, he was quick to get them settled in too. We started with some non-alcoholic drinks and spent some time chatting before diving into the menu. It was honestly hard to pick just one thing, so I went with both the chicken pho and fried rice. I knew I wouldn't finish it all, but I really wanted both. Once we ordered, everything moved smoothly--our server checked in, made sure drinks were filled, and kept things organized. When the food came out, everything looked amazing and tasted just as good. Of course, with all the catching up we were doing, it took us a while to finish, but there was no rush at all. When we were ready, he brought the checks and was more than happy to split them out (always appreciate that!). Before leaving, I ordered a to-go meal for my husband and asked for a box for my leftovers. Our server actually took my plate and packed everything up in the back, which I wasn't expecting but really appreciated. He also brought out the to-go order right when it was ready. Honestly, everything, from the space to the service to the food, was just great. I'm already looking forward to going back again soon.

Love the new cocktail bar they added. It take away some seating however people can eat at bar too. We ordered cocktails while waiting for our table which took only a few minutes. My husband tried their version of an old-fashioned which used both bourbon and rum!!! It was good but he said definitely a "sipper". They have a full bar and much better wine selection now too. Starters for us were a bowl of wonton soup and the spring rolls. Both were good but rolls a little rubbery to me. The highlight of our meals was charbroiled pork. We are not capable of ordering anything else. Ha. I get 15.04 and he got 15.03 which includes an egg roll. Divine food!! The people who own this place are so friendly. Our waiter was also very nice.

They had 2 wait staff working when we went and both greeted us immediately and seated us inside. Their air conditioning was broken and awaiting repair and they had signs throughout explaining that. It was still cooler inside than out so we sat inside. I was curious what a butterfly lemonade was so I ordered one. It was good and quite refreshing with traditional lemonade at the bottom topped with a vibrant deep purple concoction on top. After I educated myself, I found that the deep purple concoction is steeped tea made from butterfly pea flowers. We started with some egg rolls - fried with ground pork and vegetables and served with sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was great! I normally pass as most of them have a cloyingly sweet flavor that I don't like but theirs had a really good balance of flavors amd not too sweet. The egg rolls were flavorful enough to stand on their own though and yes, delivered piping hot to the table. I had the drunken noodles with beef at medium spicy level. At first bite, I was immediately able to taste the spicy level I chose. A great sign. Then I sniffed and started sweating. Another great sign of good spice level. My husband ordered the yellow curry with tofu and medium spice level as well. At first he said it could be hotter but then midway through he decided it was more of a build up and thought the level was actually perfect. Serving size was great. You can definitely get another meal out of an order! We took the rest of our food home. I cannot wait to eat my leftovers today. What a great spot for a delicious, quick dinner!

    Apparently, some Chinese restaurants have a policy where they give you free egg rolls if you're a…read moreparty of six. I get that this is a Thai restaurant, not Chinese (though it's more Chinese than I am), but Meyou might consider such a policy. I would have benefited from it yesterday. I visited on a Wednesday evening with members of a running group. There were umpteen of us. If we'd been given a single egg roll appetizer, we would have been forced to cut it in tiny pieces and share. I would have been willing to do that, because I'm a confirmed, avowed savage. My reputation precedes me. Arguably, they should give you one free appetizer for every six members of your party. But I digress. Now, where was I? Ah yes, Meyou. I'd describe this place as a somewhat Americanized version of Thai food, based on what little I know from having recently visited Bangkok and eaten in roughly 40 or 50 restaurants, food stalls and what have you over the course of a few days, i.e. not a whole lot. You can get pad thai and various other soups, noodles and curries, along with fried rice, egg rolls, crab rangoon and chicken wings. It's got a little something for everyone. Do they charge you $0.25 for extra soy sauce? Can you call up and try to harangue them into giving you a free order of crab rangoon by claiming that they shorted you the last time you were there, knowing good and well they can count better than you? I'm not sure. I might try that on my next visit and report back. This time, I went with something called Pad See Ew, which wasn't nearly as gross as its name suggests. In fact, it was good. Its description on the menu, with broccoli, eggs and soy sauce, called to mind various things I might order from a Chinese takeout--which is what I tend to look for in a menu item. As a noodle dish, I figured the overall flavor profile might not be different from a lo mein lunch special I used to get decades ago, that I still fondly reminisce about on a weekly basis. I wasn't that far off from the mark. They let you choose the spice level, ranging from mild to hot. I usually get hot in most places, but I'm hesitant to do that at Asian restaurants, because they might have access to peppers that are technically considered research chemicals, like Temu Ozempic, and therefore not subject to FDA approval. There were a few girls there, and I didn't want to run the risk of my throat starting to close up. I'd have to find a new run group. Medium turned out to be just right for me, but maybe too spicy if you're expecting something along the lines of a buffalo wing. Even the mild, apparently, has a bit of a kick to it. The noodles were nice and slippery and cooked a touch beyond al dente, right in that Goldilocks zone between undercooked and mush. The heat, and the complexity provided by whatever they use to season this, helped offset the underlying sweetness. You get your choice of meat. No Diddy. I went with pork, natch, with apologies to the Honorable Minister. The amount they give you is surprisingly generous, except that this dish will run you. I'm talking modern-day Chipotle prices. Maybe a dollar or two more. Yikes! But I'd argue that the quality justifies it. If I lived nearby, and I had the means, I'd stop by on occasion.

This place did have fresh food, I'll give it that. But, it definitely lacked in aspects that didn't make it amazing or something I'd really suggest unless someone I knew was vegetarian. We were served quickly but definitely felt like the staff had a very "meh" attitude. It's a very specific type of place, mismatched furniture, kind of eclectic. It gives very "lived in vibes". The food itself was okay. The steak dumpling were probably my favorite but I wish there was more options for dipping sauce rather than just chili crisp oil. I ordered the big Thai wrap, and while it was good, I had to ask for extra sauce because the lettuce was just overwhelming, like there was just a giant wad of it thrown in there. The wrap itself is a rice paper so you really can't put it down when you eat it or it just falls apart. But, overall, with extra sauce, rearranging things a bit everything was generally good. Would I go out of my way to go back? Probably not but it's definitely a great place to try for yourself.

Their happy hour is Sun-Thurs 4-6 with specials on wine, sake, beer, and select bao buns and snacks.

Also a little thing, but the light on table had three different settings and I just really appreciated that. Treat yourself to this small restaurant tucked away in Clayton and go visit by boy Eddie.

    Stews has been on my list for a bit and I finally made it in! We were greeted and told someone…read morewould be right with us. We lucked out and got two seats at the counter soon after we came in. The staff was hustling! Stews was busy, but felt comfortable and not crazy. The Menu had drinks on one side and food on the other. The patron next to me ordered a Mule and it looked really good so I ordered that and it tasted as good as it looked. I knew I had to get the Brussels Sprouts and they did not disappoint. It was a pretty good-sized order so I had some to take home for anther meal, yum! I also ordered Lo Mein and enjoyed that immensely, as well. We had somewhere else to be after eating so it was nice to get in and get seated, order drinks, order food all in a timely manner. It wasn't rushed at all, and everyone pitched in with serving and all of it. Well-orchestrated service. If you are trying to remember things that came before and you are thinking of the Wood Shack, you are correct! I thought it was but it had been a while so I asked and our server confirmed :). No food pics, so disappointed they came out super blurry

    Yes there is generally a wait time so put your name on the list and scan the drink menu for 20…read moreminutes... or so. Pro Tip: GO ALONE! lol the tables for one open a lot faster than they do for larger parties. The entire inside holds about 35 people. When STL weather cooperates, the front patio doubles the size of the place. Do with that what you will. You have been warned so plan accordingly! NOW FOR THE FOOD! Order The Salmon! Order the brussel sprouts. I wasn't a fan of the T-Pockets as they are NOT traditional crab ragoon. Think, jalapeño poppers but with cream cheese and crab. ORDER A COCKTAIL! I've had their Manhattan and an "After Dark". If you are a bourbon person, you can't lose on either of those. Drinks range from $10-$14. THE STAFF: The space is tiny and is always packed, that alone is a recipe for disgruntled guests and employees BUT NOT HERE. The Stew's team is always friendly and cool under pressure. They have seating and serving down to a science. Kudos! AMBIANCE: Think intimate bar in Japan. Can't imagine that, then visit Stew's. Thank me later.
