St. Louis Post-Dispatch“Noodle Story would be impressive by itself in any neighborhood, a two-story storefront with a boba-tea bar inside the main entrance and dining rooms on both floors.”

St. Louis Magazine“Two stories of beautiful vintage St. Louis brick architecture… it's among the most pleasant, tasteful restaurants on the scene right now.”

St. Louis Magazine“A table at the splendid new Noodle Story included a 2-year-old in a high chair who caught the attention of a server… off she went, hand in hand with the server… It was one of those moments that make dining so much more than dinner.”
