Midtown Sushi & Ramen: what do users think?
Tayler Bertelsman: My favorite sushi in St. Louis! Always fresh and service is great.Even after traveling to Japan, this place holds up!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Megan Barron: The service was so poor we didn’t even get to the food. Showed up at 2:30 pm to a sign that said “Please Wait to be Seated.” We were yelled at from the counter and waved on to a table, even though there were multiple workers and few patrons at the time. We sat down and then a waitress came over at 2:32 to say they closed in 10 minutes and could do takeout, but the kitchen was already closed (not really sure how that would work??). We questioned their closing time since we were aware that they closed at 3:00 pm, but were still told that they close in 10 minutes. We’ve both worked in the restaurant industry and have never worked at a place that stopped offering food before they were actually closed (outside of a bar). Definitely won’t return for that service.
Kevin Hacker (Khacker): This was the first time I dined here. We celebrated a late Mother's Day dinner since our son was out of the country. The food was very delicious and not fishy as I first thought it would be. The server was great, very professional, and courteous. We had the salmon avocado roll, Naruto roll, spider roll, and the Yoshi roll. All fantastic and very filling. The only issue I had was remembering how to use chopsticks correctly. A little out of practice. We had a party of 6 that night and just to let you know they automatically add 18% for a party of six. It was fair and you might want to go above the recommendation. It is worth it.

CB96: Food was amazing! Some of the best sushi we've had in a while in this area. Also, more vegetarian options than most Japanese restaurants offer. Staff was super nice. Prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back.Vegetarian options: More vegetarian options than most Japanese restaurants in this area. Including a build-your-own ramen bowl with a vegetarian broth option.
Todd Applegate: Great recipes.. excellent ramen. Rolls were delicious,,, any roll fried for $2 add. Ramen was amazing. Looked like they had a lot of other great food.Recommended dishes Crab Rangoon, Hakata Ramen, Spicy Midtown Ramen …More

Billy Wills: Yes! Great sushi and great service even when they were slammed! The ramen was alright but probably wasn’t fair when the sushi stole the show!
Cody Wallace: Very cool little spot. Sooo many selections and even a build your own ramen option. Everything was fantastic. Staff was very friendly. Will be coming back again.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Miso Ramen …More
Justin Johnson: Service was great as they were very busy. Flavor of food was really good but could use more salt. Ramen broth should be salty (its meant to flavor noodles and not sipped like a soup by itself. (Katsukare) Curry was tasty but could also use a bit more salt. Last time I was here salt content was perfect, not sure if a mistake was made on this visit or there was a recipe change. Servers were rockstars.
Rich Cline: Excellent Katsu and Miso. Great service! The food is very fresh. The prices are reasonable compared with today's restaurant prices. Clean place. You can park right in front off of Forest Park Parkway. I didn't try the sushi or the ramen here yet. I highly recommend if you enjoy Japanese cuisine, this is one of the best.
Paxkimi: Yummy!! A nice spot to eat!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Nicole M: very much enjoyed this ramen spot. staff was friendly and the food was tasty. just wish they had more vegetarian options. would come back.
Megan Scott: By far my favorite Ramen place
Eric Haake: I had sushi and my wife Ramen. Bothe were excellent at a solid price point for what you get. Would highly recommend.Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More
Cody Cummings: Talk about a place with some good energy! Midtown Sushi & Ramen is a must try for anyone who loves authentic ramen dishes or good sushi, and while it’s not in the name, the Donburi bowls are some of the best in town.I recommend the Hakata Ramen if you’re a fan of smoked meats! The pork belly really adds great smoky and fatty notes to the noodles.If pork isn’t your thing then the Spicy Midtown Ramen gives you the same base as the Hakata, but swaps the pork with shrimp and smoky flavor with a spicy broth!Which one is better is a toss up and is just one more reason to come back for a second visit.

Cyndie Roche: It was a little dirty. The waitress was amazing, but the host and seating process was a bit of a mess. We waited 30 minutes only to be told they never put us on the list and then needed us to scan a code to do it ourselves. We were seated right away when we scanned because they had about 30 tables open.
Vikas Trivedi: Food: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5More
Marisa Merritt: The food is always wonderful- I usually go to Westport but tried this one. The staff is friendly to the customers but leave much to be desired to their own coworkers. Me and several customers stood and watched how the staff treated the host who is on the spectrum (mentally disabled) they were mean to him, ignored him when he asked them questions, made annoyed faces at him and more! They made me feel so angry and 2 different diners left because they didn't want to be seated in the areas of the rude staff. I did reach out to the manager and I pray he fixes this.
Eduardo Otero: Really bad foodFood: 1/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 1/5 …More
Mark Flolo: Great service and food!!
JaNae Williams: I love everything about the Seafood rice and the fried Philly sushi roll is my favorite. The presentation is always so Beautiful! Every-time I order, it gets better and better :)
deepak agarwal: We went for dinner on a Sunday night and we’re finally able to be seated at a table after more than an hour of waiting. We were excited about the food since we were starving and the wait time and high prices had our hopes up for a good meal. We were in for an unpleasant surprise. First they didn’t have enough clean silverware so the server finally brought us a fork each by cleaning it himself( kudos to him for that!). The rolls were below average and you could tell they were just rushing to make them to meet demand. We had one of their most popular entrees as well which also was a 5/10 at best. My wife and I get Japanese in every city we visit. This was a great disappointment.Only plus is that they open late and that’s probably how they get business.
Rishabh Bajpai: Food: 3/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5More
Mary Baldwin: I really don’t recommend dining here. We sat for well over an hour and waited 45 minutes for our food. Our server barely came out to the table we couldn’t even get his attention to order more drinks. When our food finally came out our orders were wrong and the staff gave us attitude. It’s extremely overpriced for the service we received I really don’t recommend it at all. The restaurant was barely packed.
Bobby Kaye: Dragon roll was good - little bit on the overpriced side compared to other sushi places of similar quality like sushi ai. Edamame was good. Good spot for a leisurely lunch.Recommended dishes Sushi …More
Laverne McFadden: Food: 1/5|Service: 1/5|Atmosphere: 3/5More
Alexis Little: Everyone was so nice and the food was INCREDIBLE!! They also have a great drink menu
Cody Cummings: I dropped by Drunken Fish to grab some lunch with my wife while walking around the neighborhood, and it was pretty good. The presentation of the dishes was what you would expect from a sushi restaurant in the Central West End, and the prices follow suit. Not overly expensive, but some of the more basic rolls are a little pricey for what you get. That being said, I wouldn’t go to Drunken Fish for cheap sushi, I would go for nicer more unique rolls and dishes. The service was really nice, and the ambiance was casual but classy. I’ll be happy to come back by for dinner some time.
Sherry Sun: I came here with my fiance on a Sunday evening about 2 hours before closing. We didn't have a reservation so the hostess quoted us about a 40 min wait. Upon requesting to sit at the bar, she confirmed with the bar, and promptly lead us upstairs to the bar.After wiping down the bar table, she sat us down. We were greeted warmly by the bartender. We ordered the sushi combo and contemplated on sake. The bartender gave us samples of sake, which were all delicious. The sushi was fresh and delicious and service was spectacular.I would definitely come back here again. It's a bit pricey, but I think well worth it.

Jaron Black: I'm upgrading my review to a five star rating in retrospect. The main thing I would like to highlight is how the cashier was very helpful at answering my questions about whether I could order take-out and how the starter options fit my dietary needs. I didn't need to wait very long for my order to be ready (I only ordered one appetizer, so it only took five minutes) and the food was incredible. I am hoping to eat here again sometime in the future.
Jacob Brinker: I ordered the Chicken Katsu Ramen and the Spam Musubi. The spam was pretty good but the ramen was not. The broth was quite bland and the chicken was dry and kind of thick for katsu. It did not seem particularly fresh as the order was brought out to me within about 5 minutes.The inside of the restaurant was of dimly lit and smelled very fishy. Not a super pleasant place to dine in.Not worth the money as far as ramen goes. There are much better options in the same price range.

E: Ordered the Calamari, Signature Ramen, and the Black Garlic Ramen. The ramen was light but flavorful. The pork on top of the ramen was extremely soft and the egg was really well done. Highly recommend the calamari, was fresh out the frier and was light and soft.

Best ramen I’ve had since Japan and Vegas (shout out to Sora Ramen). Definitely coming back!!

Dan Slattery: The Nami Signature Tonkatsu ramen is highly recommended!! Super savory broth and the pork is the perfect balance of soft and crispy. Also, you have to try the bao buns. Pork or shrimp, you can't go wrong with either. I don't live anywhere near this restaurant, but I will DEFINITELY come back!

Sharonda Davenport: I had been wanting to try this place for a bit and it was meh at best. I ordered dumplings and a California roll. The Cali roll tasted odd. Almost as if it was old although they made it fresh. The dumplings were okay. The sauce was the saving grace. The house resiling had an odd taste. One of my friends found hair in their food, so that sort of ruined my appetite. The service was SUPER slow even though it wasn't busy. The wait staff barely let us speak before walking away from the table each time they approached with things like untensils or whatever. It was pretty rude honestly. I definitely won't be back.
Amanda Anderson-Gonzalez: Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5More
Cieria Simmons: To be honest, this place is not worthy of being downtown, I think this would be a better fit somebody in north country. The vibe of this place is VERY BORING. I did show up right at opening but it was still borning as hell. The best entertainment was the opening game for the cardinals that was being shown on the projector. Bow for the food, Sushi I had the new california roll which is a fried roll. It lacks flavor that I was expecting. Maybe it was a poor choice of the roll but I have been to other places like sushi ai that is far more tastier. The ramen I wanted off the menu was the Mizu ramen bowl which is their signature bowl but they didn't have it which was VERY DISAPPOINTING, how can you have something on the menu and don't have the item that matches the name of the restaurant. However I did order the chicken ramen and my husband had the shrimp ramen. Ramen was mid once again I had better at other places. The broth was spicy with slight favor but enough to complement the noodles. Almost like a scrambled egg instead of the normal egg you get with ramen. The beverage menu. My husband tried to order some type of bubble margarita which once again they didn't have. So the bill after everything ended up being 40 bucks with 18 percent gratuity included. I feel like 18 percent was a reach considering my waiter said she was bring me a refill on the water several times and I never got it until I was done with my meal. Overall this place is MID. Probably wouldn't pick this place by choice again. The place isn't bad, just you can pick a better spot to eat than this place. Make this your last choice but not your worst choice.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie optionsParking: Gotta pay for parking of course.
Sigi Ung: Waiting for 2h. no food, just miso soop. Finally THIS IS ORDER FOR 4 PEOPLE! arrived. At the end restaurant charged for the vine that was not delivered at all! Owner told she like sushi WITHOUT rice! What???Do not go there! DO NOT GO There!Food: 2/5|Atmosphere: 1/5 …More
Ronda Davenport: Came with a group for girl's night out and the service was extremely slow. Although I'm fairly certain there was only one server. The food was okay. I ordered gyoza, California roll and spring rolls. The spring rolls were the best part of the meal. Very crispy and well made. The sweet dipping sauce was a perfect pairing. The dumplings were good as well. The sushi was okay. The imitation crab was not great. Not to mention one person at my table had hair in her food. A couple of orders were wrong. If you're looking for a place with fast, dependable service, this is definitely not the place to go. And hopefully your dish doesn't have hair 🤷🏿‍♀️
Janice Z: We were forced to pay unauthorized 20% tip as gratuity and the tip was still listed on the receipt. On top of that, the waiting time was insane and the service was extremely bad. We waited for almost an hour and a half to get our food. We waited more than 30 min to get sprite. The roll was very salty. There was so little rice in my poke bowl that it took a while for me to find the rice in it. JUST AVOID. This is the first time I ever left a review for a restaurant.

Tyler Wildermuth: This restaurant used to exist in the same location as Nobu's Japanese Restaurant, and any review from before 2022 is in reference to a different place and concept, although run by the same Chef Nobu. Nobu's, in its current state, is an incredibly intimate omakase dining experience with superb flavor combinations and rare Japanese ingredients served in a space made to feel like Chef Nobu's private home. It's airy and elegant, and there are roughly 8 omakase bar seats with around 10 more at tables for larger groups. Reservations are likely required, although the host expressed they would be looking into how to deliver a more casual experience in 2023. Well worth the fine-dining cost for a special occasion.Dietary restrictions: Respected a peanut allergy in our group.
Charlotte Ealick: We enjoyed an amazing dinner. The sushi was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was excellent and always gracious.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Joanna Puterbaugh: A little late in writing a review but here we are. I have been eating at Nobu's since 2007 and my husband has been dining there even longer. We were so sad when the original location was closed and looked forward to his new venture. It seemed like the time would never come. Then an update, with a soft opening! We booked almost immediately. To say that Nobu's has changed would be an understatement. It's almost like Nobu's has grown as a restaurant as we have as people. The interior design is beautiful and simple. The service was top notch. The food was phenomenal. Nobu found out that my husband's favorite item from the original restaurant was the spicy tuna, so he made one just for him. Nobu's son (I can't remember his name right now) was a great host and we had a nice chat with him. Nobu's is more upscale now so the price is also more upscale but totally worth it for a enjoyable evening out.
Bobby Shah: Mind blown and unbelievable. Food was simple, delicate, curated and well thought out. It all came from a place of love, warmth and care for the experience. One of a kind in St Louis and can’t wait toGo back.
Dina Hyde: We thoroughly enjoyed the “omikase” tasting menu. We are so glad Nobu’s is back in a smaller, more focused and intimate setting. Everything is done with great intention from the restaurant design to the dishes and service and of course the food. It was outstanding on every level. As serious “foodies” we can say with confidence this was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. We look forward to coming back!
Dan Hahn: Absolutely magnificent food. You never run out of new things to try and everything tastes great.
Courtney DesMarais: Welcome to Nobu's- may your mind and palate be transformed into a world of absolute harmony.I am in absolute awe of this place. I LOVE that Nobu works in synchronicity with his family (wife and son) to bring traditional Japanese cuisine to STL.The minimalist and clean of the space design allows for all of the focus to be on the service, the dishes, the utensils/ dishware, and of course the ingredients themselves.I have had two different tasting course experiences here. Both of which are transformative. The overall understanding and balance of the senses and tasting notes is remarkable. Some dishes warm, some cool, some are digestive, some are crisp and all are nourishing. Nobu's understanding of texture, umami, sweet, sour, salty, pungent, and bitter is heavily highlighted throughout the tasting menu.Local ingredients are utilized when possible and even items like Sake are distinctly picked from Nobu's hometown. The thought and intention is evident from beginning to end.The price point may be high for some but even though the dishes are served as chef tasting potions, I have never once left hungry. This is because of the aforementioned balancing act that allows for a completely satisfied palate and stomach.If you go in for an à la carte meal then be sure to try anything in the miso mustard sauce and the chawanmushi.Thank you for having us Nobu staff and family!Vegetarian options: Make a request prior to reservations.Parking: On street or side parking lot options available in The Loop.
Alika McGuire: Went to their new location off of Delmar. How lucky are we to have such a place serving authentic Japanese sushi, Omakase style from real experts. Not to mention how great it was to speak to the chefs as he taught us about the food they made.Highly recommend. Just be sure to make your reservations before going!
tburr: This was one of the most amazing, intimate, and well orchestrated dining experiences I have ever had. Chef Nobu and his family welcome you as if you are old friends dining in their home. Every little detail is executed with great care and precision to provide the best sushi experience you can get any where close to St. Louis. We are grateful for this opportunity to enjoy a true master in his own element and cannot wait to return. You can tell that providing this experience is what makes Chef Nobu happy! Thank you!!
Jenny Lee: Cozy and modern restaurant. We had their set menu dinner and sat at a table. We were the only table at the time but dinner picked up at the bar. The entire staff consisted of 4 people - the family; they were Japanese polite. All sushi was very fresh and I usually don’t eat raw fish. Cooked entrees were balanced in flavor. House made matcha dessert and red bean is a must!
Minh Nguyen: One of the best experience we have ever had! The wine and sake pairing was perfect with our course. Nothing but highest compliments!
jueun moon: It was best dinner I ever had! It was my 31st bday and can’t ask for anything better than this restaurant. Please please go try. Everyone was really nice and professional.
Joshua Lillis: High quality omakaze dining experience where you let the chef decide what dishes are best served. The Kidera family has always been awesome and their new restaurant raises the bar so high. Each dish is an incredible experience, made even better as they take the time to explain its origins, ingredients, and how each is prepared. This is, hands down, the finest meal I have ever experienced. We will definitely do this again.
jeff cc: My Lord, I have never left a Google review before but I cannot neglect to express how absolutely earth-shattering this experience was. Not only is it so warm and intimate that it literally feels like a family dinner, but the food itself I can only possibly compare to the place my rich aunt took me to in Los Angeles. And it exceeds that by miles. The creativity, the attention to detail, the atmosphere; everything has been done flawlessly. In a strange way, it also is a celebration of the city itself; what they’ve managed to accomplish here could not be effectively or sustainably replicated in Chicago, New York, or any larger city. It wouldn’t be nearly as calming and personalized. I’m not even particularly attached to living in St. Louis, but truly, if I ever left, this is one place I would dearly miss.
Fred Moore: Amazing - Food, Service, Atmosphere. All perfect!!
Eugene Leong: Got there and was told they only take reservations today. Plenty of empty tables and there is no notice anywhere that says reservations was needed.
Austin: Started off 2023 with a Japanese flair.Truly remarkable dishes and a wonderful family that serves you. You feel at home. Highly recommend to anyone wanting high class sushi paired with high class service.Dietary restrictions: Will accommodate shellfish allergies.

Donald Frailey: We have come here for years! We drive by the O’Fallon il sushi ai to eat here. We love this Sushi Ai. It has a more expansive menu and fresher ingredients more artistically presented than other restaurants.There is a Sunday special of a discount off the second meal purchased.The service is always spectacular. We like Rachel as our server. She remembers our drinks and knows that I eat a lot of ginger and wasabi.I have a shellfish allergy and they have no problem keeping my order separate from others.Sushi favorites include: tuna, salmon, mackerel, spicy tuna, mountain and Alaskan rolls. We also like the miso soup, salad, crab Rangoon (wife), vegetable tempura, gyoza, and yakitori.Pro-tip Park across the street at the schnucks lot. Go buy a pack of gum and you get free 2 hours parking. Saves about 5 bucks.
Becca Marti: much cooler than any other sushi AI ive been to. they also seemed to put more filling rather than a bunch of rice. they were super quick with bringing our orders which were rather big. we also tried the ice cream and it was rlly good. the server was great and friendly and kept up with our requests. unfortunately i didn't take any pictures but just imagine how good it looked lol

chintot: Fair for a place like St. Louis. The dinner option 2 of $24 for 3 maki rolls, 4 sushi and a starter - is not a bad deal. I tried the St. Louis roll deep-fried option and it cooked the sushi inside. I didn't expect that. I was expecting it to be like friend tempura ice cream where the ice cream inside is still ice cream and not melted. So I'm disappointed about that. But the server was attentive so that's a plus.
Matt Chew: BEST sushi I've had in St Louis!!!

Matthew Griffin: Good food! Very fast
Ang Robinson: I’m pregnant and have been craving sushi. I was never a sushi eater before this, so I was a bit nervous about ordering it to my house instead of going out and sitting down to have some, especially at a cheaper place. While I’m certain it’s not the best ever, I was pleasantly surprised when the taste and presentation were pretty great. I always love when restaurants add sauces/utensils/napkins to the bag unasked, just like these folks did. Thank you for making one of my first experiences so enjoyable Sushi Ai!

T: Ordered the “forget me not Iced coffee” and the lemon drop roll and as avid sushi eaters we were more than pleased. The name and outdoor aesthetics had me weary- it gives off a bakery vibes, so we didn’t have high expectations.The lemon drop roll was so light, fresh and paler cleansing. Something I’d absolutely go out of my way to eat just that. Thank you and cannot wait to come back
Za'Mari Darden: Very sad, as I had high expectations for this place. I ordered a drink that included vodka that I wanted substituted with rum. The waiter brought me out a double shot of Tito’s VODKA in addition to the drink I ordered that also included VODKA. No rum at all!! My $7.50 drink turned into a $16 drink with the additional charge of the double shot that I did not ask for! My drink cost more than my meal! The waiter also brought me out a soda that I did not ask for. I truly believe that he was not listening to my order at all. He just put in what ever the hell order he wanted to put in. When I brought the errors to his attention there was no attempt to take accountability for his wrongdoing. Absolutely ridiculous. Everyone isn’t trying to get over! I wasn’t looking to not pay for my order, but to pay for what I ordered!!!
Danger Dest: The atmosphere is dark and muggy. Bugs flying around and crawling on the walls. Overall overpriced and sushi was lukewarm and not well prepared. The rolls were not rolled well, not uniform, and were one dimensional in flavor. The server was great but overall not worth dropping $100 here for a few rolls of mediocre sushi. Also it was not very clean.
