  • Nobu's

    8643 Olive Blvd. University City

    314-997-2303

    Chef Noboru Kidera works a kind of alchemy at his University City restaurant. The deft movements of his hands as he works at the bar, chatting with diners, demonstrate just how complex the making of sushi is. But what you notice about a piece of Kidera's nigiri sushi is its utter simplicity: the small mound of rice, a brush of wasabi, and then the fish, cut to the perfect thickness and impeccably fresh. The standard sushi selection is excellent - salmon, topped with a sliver of bracing raw onion, and mackerel especially so - but treat yourself to luscious toro or something unusual, like "The Traveler." Nobu's offers several crowd-pleasing rolls, as well as classic Japanese tempura, yakitori and noodle dishes.

  • Noodles & Company

    1784 Clarkson Road Chesterfield

    636-728-1580

    Saying Noodles & Company serves noodles is kind of like saying Albert Pujols hits home runs. The Denver-based fast-casual chain treats the humble noodle like the king of all food (which for much of the world it is). You get ample portions of perfectly cooked noodles mixed with sautéed-to-order fresh vegetables, flavorful sauces and meat or tofu. Best of all, you can customize your meal to your heart's content, creating the expected (an "Indonesian Peanut Sauté" with chicken, say) or the, um, unique ("Wisconsin Mac & Cheese" with shrimp?). Whatever you choose, for not very much money -- and in very little time -- you'll enjoy a tasty and pretty dang healthy meal. See listings for additional locations above and under "South."

  • Ocha Thai & Japanese Cuisine

    12967 Olive Blvd., St. Louis Creve Coeur

    314-434-3455

    Located in a strip mall between Creve Coeur and Chesterfield in west St. Louis County, Ocha Thai & Japanese Cuisine offers diners a broad selection of crowd pleasers. The Thai menu features more — and more interesting — selections than does its Japanese counterpart. Basic curry and noodle dishes are satisfying, but consider the nam tok beef: spicy, citrusy grilled flank steak with red onion and cilantro. The Japanese fare includes a sushi bar, of course, though the selection is relatively limited: nigiri sushi and (in comparison with most other sushi bars in town) relatively restrained Americanized rolls. A few teriyaki and tempura-battered and fried Japanese dishes are also available.

  • Oishi Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar

    100 Chesterfield Valley Drive Chesterfield

    636-530-1198

    A Japanese restaurant in the teppanyaki style made popular by the Benihana chain: You sit around an iron grill while your chef cooks your dinner, ignites fireballs and a "volcano" made from onion slices and tosses shrimp into your mouth. It's silly fun, and probably a welcome diversion for those with kids. The sushi bar offers a standard array of rolls, nigiri and sashimi. (The original location, in Creve Coeur, offers sushi only.)

  • SanSai Japanese Grill

    20 Allen Ave. Webster Groves

    314-968-8484

    SanSai makes a great case for the introduction of Japanese fast food. This outlet of an incipient chain (there are four other SanSai operations, all in Southern California) hones the execution of deliciously fresh maki, sashimi and teriyaki plates to the razor's edge of a sushi knife -- and manages to pull it all off in under ten minutes per order. One of the healthiest, truly fast meals to be had, and the sashimi tuna salad, served on a bed of baby greens and frisée with rice and miso soup, is an excellent bargain.

  • Sekisui

    3024 S. Grand Blvd. St. Louis - South Grand

    314-772-0002

    The local outpost of a Memphis-based chain, Sekisui is the most cosmopolitan of South Grand's ethnic restaurants. Chef Kenji Nemoto's selection of nigiri sushi and sashimi is broad - though dependent on what's available each day - with popular favorites like tuna, salmon and unagi as well as sea urchin, the higher grades of tuna and other exotic fare. Traditional rolls are very good, while Americanzed rolls will appeal to relative newcomers to sushi. Not in the mood for raw fish? The menu offers an extensive selection of dishes featuring cooked seafood, vegetables and tofu, not to mention excellent soups.

  • Sekisui Pacific Rim

    7443 Forsyth Blvd. Clayton

    314-726-0033

    A close cousin to the Sekisui on South Grand, but Sekisui Pacific Rim resembles that sushi joint only in name. Tonier in look and more expansive in menu, SPR excels at Asian-inspired appetizers and at entrées like conch salad, lobster ravioli and wasabi Gorgonzola fettuccine tossed with monster-size hunks o' shellfish. SPR's sushi is plenty good, but you really want to seek this place out when you're jonesing for your seafood cooked and fabulous.

  • Sen Thai Asian Bistro

    1221 Locust St. St. Louis - Downtown

    314-436-3456

    Out with the old Sen Thai and in with the new bistro, in a new location on the first floor of the historic Shell Building. The menu is greatly expanded to include Japanese and Chinese entrées such as miso soup, the cold noodle dish zaru soba and tempura. Also offered are spicy salads, hot and cold noodle bowls and the expected Thai dishes. Prices are still reasonable, but the new location should draw a different downtown crowd.
