St. Louis Delicatessen

Update: I’m sorry I didn’t update this review sooner. Evidently, they must’ve read my review and changed back to the original recipe because the chow function is back to the ono white type like from the previous owner. Also, the gal working behind the counter is so friendly and helpful. Previous review: New owners now. Still great service. Ono fried chicken, cone sushi. But, shucks, the white chow fun has changed. I think they cook it differently and maybe using a different chow fun noodle. Used to be the only place I could get the white chow fun. 😢

I come to the place every chance I get. I love their tofu, fried fish, chow fun, long rice, shoyu chicken, etc. You should judge for yourself. Unfortunately, they are only open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. They close when they run out. Also, their prices, compared to other okazu-ya places are very low. I've been going there for decades. Check um out 🤙🏽

Best damn okazuya in town period! Simple menu and still cheap. Last of the Mohicans. 3/27/21 St. Louis Okazuya, kicks it big time! Best, cheapest okazuya in town. 7a - to 1p - or when they run out, Wed - Sat. I'd go before 10:30am. Just saying... 4/21/21 Pre-workout ritual - musubi, luncheon meat, 3 fried chix. Who serves luncheon meat anymore? They do! 6/16/22 Still, one of yhe best deals in town, hands down! Got my weekly fix on this morning. 😋🤙✌️ 10/2022 Yuuum! 😁🤙✌️ (And I've been a lot more often than these reviews)) 😉) 12/2022 Still kicking. They changed their chow fun and prices have certainly increased. Time will tell but still a great place to get your okazuya fix. 😉🤙✌️

Used to be pretty good. I downgraded a star because the chow fun tastes of garlic. I love garlic, but it is not part of the flavor profile of old-school okazuya style chow fun.

The à la carte menu is fantastic. As a first-timer, the cashier kindly offered recommendations, and I'm glad they did because the fried fish with tartar sauce became my favorite. The turnip was lovely as well. I also love how this place is incredibly budget-friendly.
