  • Asia

    999 N. 2nd St. St. Louis - Downtown

    314-881-7777

    Asia reflects only a sliver of the titular continent's size and cultural variety. Instead it focuses on those countries many might think of when they hear the phrase "Asian cuisine": China, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand. Sushi is prepared well, though the fish itself is merely good, not outstanding. Entrées lean toward Chinese and Chinese-American dishes like General Tso's chicken; house specialties include Peking duck and an excellent Cornish hen dish. The Cornish hen is one of the few values on a relatively high-priced menu.

    At the corner of Westgate and Delmar sits Blue Ocean Sushi, which joined the city's roster of sushi restaurants in 2008. Blue Ocean offers the standards (cucumber rolls, California rolls) as well as more adventurous options such as the AK-47 roll, which contains spicy tuna, cucumber, cream cheese, eel, sweet potato and sriracha sauce.

  • Cafe Mochi

    3221 S. Grand Blvd. St. Louis - South Grand

    314-773-5000

    The walls are a vivid magenta, the music an eclectic mix of mellow, head-nodding tunes - this is a sushi lounge, not a sushi restaurant. The emphasis is on rolls of the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink variety. The "Godzilla Roll" features tempura-fried tuna and spicy tuna (as well as crisscrossing spicy sauces), while the "Lemon Drop Roll" adds lemon zest and honey wasabi to a standard combination of salmon, crab, cream cheese and avocado. The nigiri sushi selection is conventional. Basic Japanese fare like tempura meat and vegetables, as well as soba and udon noodles, is also available.

  • Chi Sushi

    4 N. Euclid Ave. St. Louis - Central West End

    314-367-2209

    Sleek-looking Chi sits in the trendy Central West End neighborhood and serves up a variety of sushi. Sure, you'll find your California roll and spicy tuna, but here you will also find the "Central West End," which includes asparagus, shrimp, salmon, mayo, eel sauce, scallions and masago. Chi also offers reasonably priced lunch specials, nigiri and nigiri combos. There is a modest sake and beer selection and a more robust martini list, including sake martinis.

  • Chop Shop

    @chopshopstl St. Louis - South Grand

    Eliott Harris won a following for his work behind the sushi bar at Miso on Meramec in Clayton. Now he has gone solo — and mobile — with Chop Shop, serving inventive, overstuffed sushi rolls that you can hold in your hand to eat, like a wrap or burrito. Rolls include the “El Camino” (spicy yellowfin tuna with cucumber, avocado and a ginger-garlic ponzu) and the “Woodie” (snow crab utzed with a chile aioli).
  • Crazy Sushi

    422 Mid Rivers Mall Drive St. Peters

    636-397-2414

    St. Peters' answer to the multitude of sushi restaurants that have cropped up in recent years, Crazy Sushi offers an ample selection of fish favorites. The nigiri includes flying fish roe, toro and mackerel, while the makimono runs the gamut from the California roll to the St. Charles roll (eel, cucumber and tuna). Crazy Sushi's menu also includes noodle dishes, tempura and combo platters for those wanting a variety of tastes.
  • Drunken Fish

    639 Westport Plaza, St. Louis Maryland Heights

    314-275-8300

    All of Drunken Fish's St. Louis locations have online ordering and pick up. Free delivery on oders over $50. Order at drunkenfish.com or call the location closest to you.

    Audacious sushi creations in a mod lounge setting: The Drunken Fish is like one giant experiment to see just how sexy raw fish (and other Japanese food styles) can go. The house rolls throw together everything but the sushi mat: crab meat, radish sprouts, scallions, carrots, eel sauce, avocado, baked scallops, asparagus, tempura, mayonnaise -- and, oh yeah, sometimes rice too. Simpler preparations excel here, like the clean tuna tataki and steak teriyaki, the tempura vegetables and the ice cream-based desserts. As St. Louis' latest stab at a bona fide sushi lounge, the Drunken Fish may prove the start of a whole new dining trend. See listing for second location under "Midtown/West End."

  • Drunken Fish-Central West End

    1 Maryland Plaza St. Louis - Central West End

    314-367-4222

    All of Drunken Fish's St. Louis locations have online ordering and pick up. Free delivery on oders over $50. Order at drunkenfish.com or call the location closest to you.

    Trendy Central West End spot Drunken Fish, brainchild of Munsok So, brings sushi with a club twist. New-style sashimi offerings include red snapper carpaccio and yellowtail Mexicano, which adds jalapeño pico de gallo and ponzu sauce to the mix. Sake cocktails provide a buzz to go with the fish. This posh sushi lounge also features national and local DJs spinning techno, house and jungle every night. The West Port spot has more of a restaurant feel than the clubbier Central West End location, but no matter which Drunken Fish you choose, make sure your wallet is loaded

  • Dynasty Hibachi Steak, Seafood and Sushi Buffet

  • Fin Japanese Cuisine

    1682 Clarkson Road Chesterfield

    636-536-4228

    A sushi restaurant with more to offer than sushi - though those with a craving will be more than satisfied by the nigiri sushi, sashimi and rolls. Don't overlook the rest of the menu, though. The Japanese fare (some of it given a Southeast Asian twist, compliments of chef and owner Paul Kulkanjanatorn) is more than worthy of consideration. An order of miso ramen brings a big bowl of broth with pork, hard-boiled egg, vegetables and a tangle of noodles, while gindara miso is an elegant black cod preparation, fork-tender and delectable.

  • Fuji Sushi & Teriyaki

    84 Clarkson Wilson Center Chesterfield

    636-530-1392

    Situated in the Clarkson Wilson strip mall near the intersection of Clarkson and Wilson roads, Fuji Sushi & Teriyaki serves up an array of rolls, sashimi, noodles, appetizers and teriyaki meats, all in a cozy and inviting Japanese atmosphere. The selection of maki rolls at Fuji includes the usual rolls expected at a sushi restaurant, including the California roll, dynamite roll of spicy tuna and a few familiar rolls whose presentation reminds guests why they are so named, such as the caterpillar roll that looks an awful lot like a large caterpillar crossing the plate or the dragon roll that might cough up some gold. A few of the more outside-of-the-bento-box rolls include the BLT roll of bacon, lettuce and tuna and the Fuji volcano, featuring a spicy combination of baked scallops, crab meat and masago. Lunch specials are also available, such as tempura shrimp and vegetables with rice, sushi and maki combos and a pork katsu, a deep-fried pork cutlet served with rice. Teriyaki beef, salmon, chicken and shrimp all served with rice are also available.

  • Ginger Bistro

    6665 Delmar Blvd. University City

    314-222-2588

    This cavernous restaurant in the Delmar Loop describes its cuisine as "pioneering Asian fusion." Fans of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese cuisine will likely describe the dishes as defanged. Few dishes provide much flavor, let alone the vast array of vibrant flavors that any one of the aforementioned cuisines have to offer. Fortunately, Ginger Bistro is located only a short walk or drive from restaurants that serve the genuine article.

  • Hiro

    609 Eastgate Ave., University City Delmar/ The Loop

    314-721-9168

    This Delmar Loop restaurant looks like the prototypical sushi joint, and the sushi portion of the menu is a big ’un, from the requisite roster of nigiri sushi and rolls (Philadelphia, California, etc.) to “special” rolls of the elaborate modern ilk (“Golden Child,” with escolar and mango, for instance, and “Crunchy Pig,” with bacon and pork belly). But here’s where it gets truly interesting: Hiro also offers izakaya — Japanese bar snacks that are somewhat analogous to Spanish tapas — and the selection of these is both more intriguing and less likely to be found at other local sushi spots. Braised pork belly inside soft, sweet buns, for example, and a variation of crab rangoon made with smoked salmon.

  • Hokkaido Steak & Sushi Buffet

    660 N. US Highway 67 Florissant

    314-921-6666

    Located in the Florissant Meadows Shopping Center, Hokkaido offers an extensive selection of Chinese dishes as well as sushi dishes rolled fresh at the sushi bar. Guests can sit in the large dining room and choose from dim sum, lo mein, General Tso's chicken and soft-shell crab, among many other items. For dessert, take a plunge in the chocolate fountain, which includes plenty of dippable options.
  • I Love Mr. Sushi

    9443 Olive Blvd. University City

    314-432-8898

    "You came all the way from the Delmar Loop to visit us?" the server asks. In fact, I Love Mr. Sushi isn't too far from the Loop, but its narrow storefront in a nondescript Olivette strip mall lends this sushi joint the air of a well-kept secret. Inside you'll find beautiful presentations of familiar nigiri sushi and sashimi selections, as well as rolls both traditional (sweet futomaki) and Americanized (the "Texan," for example: beef, jalapeño and spicy mayo). Begin your repast with a cup of very good miso soup, and don't be shy when your server asks whether you'd like a second round. She's not teasing.

  • Izakaya Ren

    2948 Dougherty Ferry Road Kirkwood

    636-825-3737

    An izakaya is a specific type of Japanese restaurant that serves, for lack of a better term, bar snacks. (A tapas bar is a common comparison.) Izakaya Ren splits the difference between izakaya cuisine and the American concept of a sushi bar. You can order nigiri sushi, sashimi and maki as well as tempura and other familiar dishes, but branch out with the selection of skewered meats and fare like tako wasabi (cold, spiced octopus) or fried mackerel with a sake-based dipping sauce.

  • Jade Restaurant & Lounge

    910 Olive St. St. Louis - Downtown

    314-425-2900

    With the look and feel of a traditional sushi restaurant, Jade is a downtown lunch spot by day and a late-night sushi lounge during club hours. The sushi menu includes standard nigiri and maki, a pre-priced chef's-choice roll and a list of special rolls with names not found on a fish tank. Their "DJ E Roll" takes a shrimp tempura roll with cucumber, cream cheese, avocado and crab salad and adds an extra crunch. For fans of crab and then some, there is the "Big & Crazy" roll with soft-shell crab, crab salad, shrimp tempura, vegetables and sauce. The menu also includes a selection of rolled sushi for diners who prefer to steer clear of raw fish, or any fish for that matter, with different ingredients such as chicken, Doritos or beef. Jade also offers a full menu of familiar Chinese cuisine.
  • Japanese Garden

    108 Regency Park, O'Fallon Belleville/ Fairview Heights

    618-632-8700

    Japanese Garden features grill-top teppan cooking on one side and a sushi bar on the other. By offering everything from straightforward steaks, chicken and cooked seafood to brightly colored fish eggs wrapped in seaweed and topped with raw quail egg, the restaurant has something for everyone. Aside from an unfortunate reliance on fake crab, the sushi gets high marks, and the floor show from the teppan chef is an amusing diversion for the evening.

    636-527-7999

  • Kampai Sushi Bar

    4949 W. Pine Blvd. St. Louis - Central West End

    314-367-2020

    Employees of the original Sansui location bought out the owner (who continues to operate Sansui in Rock Hill) and transformed the Central West End space into Kampai. The look and the menu remain much the same, with a selection of nigiri sushi, sashimi and rolls. Standing out among the selection of California and Philadephia-type rolls is the "Kampai Special," which features a rather indulgent treat: a fried lobster tail. The menu also includes a few non-sushi entrées, as well as noodle dishes.
  • Ki Sushi

    2436 Taylor Road Wildwood

    636-273-5599

    A small, unassuming restaurant in the middle of a west-county strip mall, Ki certainly isn't the flashiest sushi joint in St. Louis. But if you're in the mood for sushi without all the fuss of a traditional restaurant or the hubbub of a trendy sushi bar, Ki's an excellent choice. The nigiri sushi is fresh and satisfying, and the chef's specialty rolls value substance as much as style: The strangely named "Zeus Mediterranean Roll," with the verdant, basil-like bite of shiso, is especially good.

  • Kobe At Westport Japanese Gril

    111 Westport Plaza Maryland Heights

    314-469-3900

    For those looking for more excitement at the dinner table, Kobe Steak House's teppanyaki-style cooking allows diners to see the meal prepared before their eyes. Options include chicken and salmon, steak and salmon, lobster, shrimp and scallops, and a veggie option is available for the non-meat-eaters. Lucky guests get the chance to catch a shrimp in their mouth delivered straight from their chef.

  • The Lobby Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton

    100 Carondelet Plaza Clayton

    314-863-6300

    Clever, persuasive New American dishes built on a foundation of classics. For a light meal, order a couple of fanciful appetizers in place of an entrée. If you're in the mood for more substantial fare, try one of the superb game dishes, such as rabbit or pheasant. For a finale, order any sweet thing that's red and ripe -- strawberry shortcake, say, or a pear poached in zinfandel.
