asian cafe bar & grill

fried rice. is the traditional firedricegluten free, and can it come with beef or chicken?

now offering lunch specials that include an entree, fried or white rice, hot & sour soup and two crab rangoon. all for 5.95! great deal!
i ordered the hot braised chicken and it was delicious, flakey, crisp batter around all white meat chicken. the veggie friedricewas not very good, dry and crunchy. the crab rangoon was great, crunchy, fresh but sweet filling. i prefer savory.
service was fantastic as usual! can't wait to go back!

we came for a nice private, low key dinner on nye. the service was great. food was fresh, tastey, hot. we ordered general tsos chicken.. it was great, but wish it was served with lo mein or something other than white rice. we came back a week later, i ordered the same dish and it wasn't as good as the first time. big menu! nice, clean, trendy feel. nice prices too. we will be back, but i will order off viet menu next time.

wow. this was the best asian restaurant we've gone to in a long long time spring rolls were to die for and the vietnamese dishes we had were incredible and the appetizers were half price and so were the kirins and chin taus (an incredible beef dish withriceand fresh stirfry veggies-7.95!) we haven't found anywhere in st louis any better than here. highly recommended.

quick review. very good. only thing so far i did not care for was their cha gio (fried spring rolls) not sure if they make them there. great greens with everything. soup is great. viet friedricegood. sushi ok. if they have ripe avacados, try the avacado smoothie. sounds strange, but it is great. long wait for this cuisine out west. it is a long way to mai lei or south grand from lake st louis.
