Nudo House in Creve Coeur absolutely lives up to the hype, especially if you are hunting for a…read morestellar vegetarian bowl. I dropped in on a Saturday evening and ordered the **Shroomed Up** ramen, and it was a ramen masterclass in a bowl. The broth managed to be incredibly rich and deeply savory-sweet all at once, without ever feeling heavy. It was loaded with thick, substantial slabs of mushrooms, tender-cooked bok choy, and the noodles were the star of the show--thick and perfectly cooked to that ideal sweet spot where they aren't too chewy but have zero mushiness. Even with a line stretching out the door when we arrived, the wait wasn't tedious, and we reached the counter reasonably fast. The ordering process is standard counter service, but the staff member who took our order was incredibly nice, polite, and helpful, practically predicting my questions as I was looking over the menu. The same employee even brought our bowls out to us. The space was definitely crowded for a weekend night, but the seat-yourself setup worked out perfectly for the two of us; we still had three tables to choose from. The interior has a great energy with fun, East-Asian and Japanese-themed decor lining the walls. The Breakdown Food Quality: 5+/5 + Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Vibe: 4/5 Quality/Value: 4/5 **Pro Tip:** Don't let a Saturday evening line out the door scare you off! The counter service team moves people through the queue efficiently, and if you are dining in a small group of two, the table turnover is quick enough that you'll still easily find a spot to sit down.

It sold Kimbap, rice cake, etc, the ones that restaurant may put a very pricy tag to discourage me, or according to some Korean friends, too much effort to charge with low dollar.

He was so sweet to my two year old, and got our orders out prompty! We ordered the Sushi Boat for my husband and I to share. The cuts of fish were fat, but the quality was so-so. Their salmon cuts I think were the best, and the tuna was alright. We would absolutely get sushi from here again because I liked the price AND it wasn't pretty good. We also ordered the chicken teriyaki for my two year old and it came out in a big plate. The rice was fine, and the seasoning for the teriyaki wasn't too sweet and a little peppery. This was also pretty decent, but exceed our expectation. I'm rating high for the customer service. If you are looking for some sushi, but not really want to go out fancy for it - try this place out!

I'm Korean and grew up with Korean food in Chicago, so I know what the real thing tastes like, and this is the real thing. I got the soondae stew and it completely hit the spot. The flavor profile was so authentic and satisfying!! Came out boiling still, so fresh. The banchan selection was great too and the waitress was really sweet about bringing more if you wanted. My only small note is that I wished the side dishes came out a little earlier rather than alongside the main food, because I was starving by the time everything arrived! But that's a minor thing. There's also a karaoke spot right next door that I heard gets pretty lively at night. I haven't made it over there yet but that is absolutely next on my list. 한동안 이곳에 가보고 싶었는데, 시내에서 좀 떨어진 외곽에 있다 보니 솔직히 기대를 크게 하지 않았어요. 그런데 깜짝 놀랐어요. 순대국을 시켰는데 정말 맛있었어요. 맛의 깊이가 딱 제가 찾던 그 느낌이었어요. 반찬 종류도 다양하고 좋았고, 웨이트리스분도 친절하게 더 가져다 주셔서 너무 좋았어요. 한 가지 아쉬운 점은 반찬이 메인 음식이랑 같이 나왔으면 하는 거예요. 너무 배고픈 상태였거든요 그래도 사소한 부분이에요. 바로 옆에 노래방도 있는데 밤에 꽤 활기차다고 들었어요. 아직 가보진 못했지만 다음엔 꼭 가볼 생각이에요.
