St. Louis Post-Dispatch

We came in at No. 7, seven months after opening.
“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.”
“The can't-miss Chengdu-Style Potato Snack: crinkle-cut french fries energized with the classic mala combination of fearsome chiles and tingle-inducing Sichuan peppercorns.”

The critic's verdict, two months after we opened.
“Two stories of beautiful vintage St. Louis brick architecture… it's among the most pleasant, tasteful restaurants on the scene right now.”
“Chile oil chao shou, well made as they are here, are worth a visit on their own… among the best of dishes here.”

A year-end highlight: "the splendid new Noodle Story."
“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.”
