Truc Lam would have to be my favorite place for Vietnamese pho in St. Louis. I recommend starting off with an order of BBQ pork spring rolls before you dive into your pho.

Their Western burger is pretty famous to me, if that counts at all. This specialty burger features BBQ sauce, bacon, cheddar and onion rings. And it tastes just as delicious as it sounds.

The main rule when it comes to pizza: don't claim a style if you can't deliver. But Mr. Gilberti's delivers when it comes to authentic Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Take it from me, as a former Chicagoan, their pizza comes pretty darn close to the real thing.

The fact that you can order the Flaming Sexy Guy roll and have your sushi served to you literally on fire, makes this place pretty cool in my opinion.
