 Cutting edge cuisine |
706 DeMun Ave St. Louis, MO 63105 United States +1 314 725 8585 http://www.jimmyscafe.com/ |
Located just east of the busy Clayton business district, Jimmy's menu is definitely out of the ordinary. You will find novel selections like Oatmeal-Crusted Chicken, Salmon Pesto, and Lobster Dumplings. Or try dancing shrimp with toasted coconut. Most of the fare is contemporary American, with some Asian touches thrown in. The decor is casual and comfortable, and the walls are covered with hundreds of caricatures of St. Louis celebrities and regular patrons. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Local favorite for Thai fare |
3157 S Grand Ave St. Louis, MO 63118 United States +1 314 771 1777 http://www.kingandirest.com/ |
One of the city's most popular Thai restaurants, this eatery offers a variety of Thai cooking styles, with food ranging from sweet to mild to blazing hot. The extensive menu offers something for virtually every taste. Even vegetarians will find plenty to satisfy themselves. The duck with rice comes highly recommended, but you will also want to try the Pad Thai, the national dish of Thailand, if you prefer noodle dishes. For an appetizer, try the tempura-battered shrimp, squid and crab. Both American and Asian beers are on tap to quench your thirst. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Short on cost, long on selection |
8440 Delmar Blvd St. Louis, MO 63124 United States +1 314 993 3754 |
Affordable Vietnamese food, properly prepared, is the hallmark of this popular restaurant. The interior was recently expanded to meet demand, but many diners still prefer takeout. It is also worth noting the emphasis here is on the menu, not the decor. Chinese food can be found on the menu, but Vietnamese specialties are the real winners. The soups are large enough to serve as complete meals, while the spring and egg rolls make excellent appetizers. With so many combinations to choose from, it can be hard to decide. Waiters are accustomed to diners being overwhelmed and are always willing to help the indecisive. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Stay a while or get it to go |
481 Lafayette Center St. Louis, MO 63011 United States +1 636 256 8898 http://www.maneethai.com |
While the strip mall location might not hold a lot of exterior appeal, the headdresses, tapestries and prints adorning the walls make this place's interior worth seeing. The owner, a Thailand native, has put a lot of effort into this restaurant and it clearly shows. Manee Thai is a great place to relax after a long day of shopping or to grab a quick bite to eat in the middle of your day. Review © 2007, Wcities |

East Meets West |
4 Club Centre Court St. Louis, IL 62025 United States +1 618 659 9866 http://www.neruda2dine.com |
A lot of people drive out from St. Louis to this restaurant in the boomtown of Edwardsville for the pasta lover's buffet on Tuesdays and for the Sunday brunch. With the pasta, the usual Italian sauces are available, but there are also interesting sauces with Southwestern and Asian influences, offering a fusion of East and West. For the less adventurous diner, the steaks are very good. Diners' attire ranges from shorts to suits. The restaurant's decor is bold and contemporary with deep crimson walls. Definitely make a reservation if you plan to dine on the weekend. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Asian fusion and sushi |
14025 Manchester Rd St. Louis, MO 63011 United States +1 636 386 8999 |
Recently opened in West County, Nippon Tei features a blend of Japanese cuisine with Asian fusion influences of dishes from Thailand and Vietnam. The muted colors of the decor and mellow lighting add to the tranquil ambience. The sushi bar offers a wide selection of different sushi varieties, with and without raw fish. The chicken fried rice with pineapple and cashews was an unusual treat, and the salmon with teriyaki sauce was superb. Try the flavorful miso soup before your entree. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Vietnamese with Thai, Chinese and French influences |
3195 S Grand Blvd St. Louis, MO 63118 United States +1 314 664 7435 http://www.phogrand.com/flash.... |
Pho Grand, Vietnamese restaurant incorporates Thai, Chinese and French influences into many of its dishes, making it a favorite among the ethnic restaurants that stretch along South Grand Boulevard. The menu selection is relatively small, but the quality of the food makes up for the lack of choices. One recommended selection is the curry squid with coconut milk. Entrees are not too spicy, unless otherwise noted on the menu, but chili paste is always available for those who want to turn up the heat. Dinner portions are bigger than lunch dishes and ample enough to share. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fun with fusion |
1500 St. Charles Street St. Louis, MO 63103 United States +1 314 436 9700 http://www.redmoon-stl.com/ |
Red Moon is the place where fusion food meets beautiful people. Succulent plates of rice cakes, coconut shrimps, seared scallops, and tofu steaks are passed around by well-trained and courteous staff. Cocktails like Chocolate Lunar Eclipse and Hair of the Dog are worth sipping, so are the wines which are mostly Californian. Private parties are possible for upto 245. Valet parking is available.

Roast duck anyone? |
8406 Olive Blvd St. Louis, MO 63132 United States +1 314 991 1888 |
You can always tell whether a Chinese restaurant is respectable by looking at the clientèle. If there are Chinese people around, chances are good that the food is good. And if you see roasted fowls in the window, you've definitely found a winner. The regal dining area features dark tables and comfortable, red-velvet cushioned chairs. Everything is delicious, especially the roast duck and chow fun. You will leave with a full, satisfied feeling every time. Beer and wine are both available. If you are feeling brave, you might try the Chinese beer Tsingtao. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sushi and dumplings |
4955 W Pine Blvd St. Louis, MO 63108 United States +1 314 367 2020 |
Sansui has been a fixture of the Central West End for many years, serving a wide variety of Japanese dishes. The list of appetizers is impressive, numbering more than thirty. Sample different types of sushi, oysters on the half-shell, salmon caviar, or the mouth-puckering hot wasabi. For entrees, the Cherrystone Clams and the grilled mackerel are both excellent. Also popular are the enormous stuffed deep fried shrimp. For the less adventurous, fried chicken and steaks are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
