Asian Arch — Restaurant in St. Louis

I stopped in and had their pepper steak & shumai while inbetween their lunch and dinner rushes. My server was super attentive and the dine-in area was one of the cleanest dining areas I've found in a restaurant. Not kidding. The music & AC were nice bonuses.

For their prices I was expecting small(er) portions, but I wound up with a generous serving for just twelve bucks. All in all I spent only 22 for an entree, appetizer, and two drinks! The pepper steak and shumai were both delicious, though the peppersteak was just a smidge oily. Most importantly, everything I ordered tasted fresh and vividly flavorful..

The sushi steals the show here, but I decided to try something different and it was delicious nonetheless! As a few others have noted, this is not "St Louis Style" Chinese like your usual carry-out-only chop suey. No picking up your food through a 1-inch-thick plexiglass turnstile here, lol.

I ordered Thai Fried Rice I feel like I could’ve done better had I cooked it myself it had no flavor no veggies and everything that I’m use to it being so not a fan very disappointed. I tried the St Paul that STL is known for it was decent but being that I’ve never had one I have nothing to compare it too. I had the fried Philly roll which I fumbled on not noticing the cream cheese which I’m not a fan of so it was ok. The Thai ice tea however was great a tad sweeter than wat I’m use too but it was...

Asian Arch is truly an example of a well rounded establishment. The menu was expansive and the food was phenomenal, served in ideal portions with a detailed description of each on the menu. The service was excellent and we were never left waiting to be cared for. The atmosphere was welcoming with a spacious dining area and lots of natural light. The manager was incredibly friendly and eager to learn our story as well as to share her own. To top it off, our visit followed the unfortunate local tornado, so the manager persisted that we stayed as long as we needed to charge our phones or use the bathroom, even offering us the option to return later and do so without needing to buy anything. I couldn’t list enough positives about this restaurant, come give it a try and support a great...
