Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Belleville

"Anyone who’s made a bowl of ramen from scratch has experienced how much work goes into it. Add bean sprouts, pickled mustard greens, a ramen egg and slow-cooked pork belly to the equation and $12 seems like a steal for the O’Miso Spicy ramen at Nudo House. Not only is it the best ramen in town, but it’s served in a massive bowl."

"Cafe Mochi debuted in 2009 and has since become a staple for Asian-inspired cuisine in South City. The restaurant features sushi and Japanese-style dishes alongside Vietnamese classics. Popular picks include the eye-catching volcano sushi roll with tempura shrimp, asparagus and avocado, topped with baked crab, scallops and spicy mayo."

"With one location on Delmar Blvd and another on Euclid Ave, Poke Doke is an easily accessible poke place that offers fast and healthy custom bowls and more. Support them by picking up takeout or ordering delivery."

"Another great diner for kids is found on Locust Street’s historic Automotive Row. Eating in a building that was built in 1916 to build “high end sedans” is pretty cool. Besides great food, The Fountain on Locust ice cream was voted St. Louis’ best."

"Clementine’s knocked everyone’s socks off when they introduced St. Louis to “handcrafted small batch” ice cream, using only the finest natural ingredients. They call their ice cream Naughty and Nice because they have a selection of boozy ice creams–but their ice cream shop is totally family friendly. Their first location is amazingly TINY, so I suggest heading to their newest location in South Hampton at 4715 Mackland."

"Clementine's Naughty and Nice Creamery is an ice cream creamery that is right next to Washington University's campus in St. Louis. It is right in the middle of a neighborhood and has a small-shop vibe. The neighborhood and vibe of the store helps to push it to be one of my favorite and (I think) best places to get ice cream."

"I'm not even vegan, but this is some of the richest ice cream I have ever laid a tongue on. If you're 21 and feeling fun and flirty, check out their "naughty" flavors which all contain a wee bit of alcohol with every lick. As far as St. Louis goes, this is just the tip of the iceberg for foods and restaurants."

"The flavors are plentiful, unique, and, most importantly, they never skimp on the syrup so the ices are always tasty.My onl..."

"From its humble beginnings in 1948 as a small roadhouse in the countryside with homestyle food, Kreis' Steakhouse as it is known today sets the bar for fine dining in St. Louis. Its famous prime rib Sunday special, along with Prime steaks, fresh seafood and German specialties, are served to loyal patrons in an upscale yet cozy and romantic atmosphere. In every entree you order, you can taste the restaurant's dedication to quality, tradition, consistency and genuine hospitality, which all started with the Kreis family and continues today with current owners George Tompras and Renee Tompras Bogdanos."

"The restaurant is known for its signature steaks for any appetite from the petite filet to the porterhouse for two. Ruth's Chris also serves specialty entrees like lamb chops, shrimp, and lobster."

"Cinder House is now located on the eighth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel after closing the doors of the Cielo Restaurant it owned. It has been renovated since 2018. The chef has received many awards and arrived in St. Louis at only 25 years old."

"Next up is Fox Park's Lona's Lil Eats, situated at 2199 California Ave. With 4.5 stars out of 541 reviews on Yelp, the Asian fusion, vegetarian and Chinese spot has proven to be a local favorite."

"Lona’s Lil Eats delivers big on both portion size and flavor. Stumped on where to start?. Begin with their giant rice paper wraps."

"The definitive place to enjoy and imbibe gin from around the world, The Gin Room is located inside Cafe Natasha, a Persian restaurant on South Grand. Masterfully run by Natasha Bahrami (yep, the restaurant is named after her too), it offers quite possibly the most complete, exhaustive, curated collection of over 100 gins to be found in the US and certainly the Midwest. “The Gin Girl,” as Bahrami is called, is a true ambassador of the spirit, and her enthusiasm over the history, distillation process, and particular qualities of the different gins she offers is infectious to anyone with a soul."

"Café Natasha’s serves incredible, authentic Persian cuisine with subtle international influences. Enjoy finely prepared dishes such as the Beef Shish Kabob & Koubideh Kabob, Gormeh Sabzie (classic Persian herb-based lamb stew), or Savory Tongue of Beef. Café Natasha’s story begins in 1983, when founders Executive Chef Behshid Bahrami and his wife Hamishe Bahrami opened a small restaurant called “The Little Kitchen."

"South Grand isn’t lacking in creative plant-based fare, and some of the best can be found at Tree House Restaurant. Serving dinner and brunch, Tree House features a range of global influences, from jackfruit arepas and potato flautas that nod to south of the border favorites to seasonal risotto and wild mushroom-stuffed ravioli inspired by Italian classics. The brunch menu benefits from the same diversity in dishes such as the bánh mì sandwich (made with seitan or tofu) to the Desayuno Latino, a black bean- and vegetable-stuffed masa cake with housemade escabeche, malagueta and chimichurri with two eggs and housemade salsa roja."

"This modern vegetarian restaurant serves simple yet irresistible dishes for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Their selection of small and large plates make it possible to try a little of everything. Whether you're craving bibimbap or paella, Tree House has got vegetarians in St. Louis covered"

"Tower Grove South's Tree House Vegetarian Restaurant, located at 3177 S. Grand Blvd., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the vegan and vegetarian brunch spot 4.5 stars out of 338 reviews."
