Great new place!

So nice to see an Asian mostly vegan place! Definitely the best Asian I’ve had in St. Louis. The orange soya delight had great sauce and great seitan. Also really enjoyed the turmeric fried rice bento box with stir fried shredded tofu and bamboo. we shared the two dishes and they went great together.

amazing food - a must try

Tried this place on a whim on the way to STL airport. One of the best vegan spots I’ve ever found. This place is a must have if you’re in STL

Pros: Doubao Bento , TLC Lions Mane Rice

Delicious!!!

We went for the first time in June 2024. The restaurant is mostly vegan (except the wontons and crispy suji filet, which are vegetarian). The staff was super friendly and the food was excellent. We ordered the DauBao Roll and Sea-Y Filet bento boxes as well as the Orange Soya Delight and CY Bites. The bento boxes are packed with a variety of flavors -- each came with rice, cabbage, soy basil, five-spice tofu, and pickled radish. We loved everything, but here are some highlights:

- DauBao Roll: Our favorite part of the meal. Delicious, meaty texture.
- Cabbage: Lovely garlicky flavor. Great texture, tender but still a bit crisp.
- CY Balls: There's currently no picture for these on the website but we took a chance on them (3 for $2!), and they were great, especially when dipped in the sauces that came with the bento boxes.
- Orange Soya Delight: Satisfying, mild flavors. Much less sweet than the orange sauces often served in restaurants, which we liked.

We loved it and plan to come back!

Our new favorite restaurant!

We got a carry out order from Chuang Yi Bentos and it was ready right on time. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! We got a family bento and some additional dishes. The portions are great and the prices are very reasonable.
We enjoyed all of the dishes but our favorites were the Orange Soya Delight, the fried dumplings, stir fried Asian House Veggies, and the CY Braised DouBao Roll. We are already making plans to go back and can't wait to try more dishes!

Pros: Delicious food, great value, Friendly staff, order ready on time, Eco friendly food containers

Cons: Parking lot is a little tricky

New Kid OT Block

They are labeled as vegetarian, so I had to call them to inquire if they had any vegan dishes. The lady was very nice and informed me that as of right now, everything is vegan. Due to previous snafus with vegan restaurants serving things made with non-vegan ingredients, I kindly grilled her a little bit more. She assured me that everything is vegan here, for now. However, they are still in their soft opening, and she says the menu will change and may include vegetarian options. (Look forward to some ramen in the future.)

The menu has a nice variety and everything is extremely affordable a la carte. You can also get bento boxes in small, medium, or large. As a foodie at a brand new restaurant, it was my sworn duty to try as many menu items as I possibly could… Ya know, for research purposes.

Family Bento Box -
Comes with 2 large sides, 3 entrees, 4 spring rolls, and a large box of white rice for $34.99. You pick your sides and entrees from a preset list of choices.

My two sides of choice:
STIR FRIED CABBAGE - I honestly didn’t love the cabbage. I’d prefer it a tad more seasoned and stir fried. It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t order it again.

SOY BASIL - I love basil, so this was quite tasty to me. They were out of their lo mein, but I’d definitely order this again and couple it with their fried rice or lo mein.

My three chosen entrees:
FIVE SPICED DRIED TOFU - firm, not soft, tofu cubes that are seasoned by the hands of Father Flavor. 10/10 will order again

ORANGE SOYA DELIGHT - reminded me of a beef and broccoli with a tangy orange twist. Not bad.

SEA-Y FILET & CRISPY SUJI FILET - each of these can be order separately, a la carte. I love that you get a taste of each in this family bento box. One is a fish alternative, the other is a chicken alternative. I really like them both (very good flavors), but the Crispy Suji Filet was my favorite. 10/10 would order again.

Additionally I ordered…

CY BRAISED DOU BAO ROLL - delicious. Would order again.

MA PO TOFU - I don’t like soft tofu, but the sauce alone makes this dish worth it.

TLC FRIED RICE - a tasty turmeric fried rice that I used instead of the white rice. I don’t like mushrooms so I just picked out the few lions mane shrooms that came in it. Would order again.

FRIED DUMPLINGS - veggie-filled pan fried dumpling. They were good, as were the spring rolls.

One parting suggestion would be to label the vegan and gluten free items on the menu to lessen confusion.

Thank you for your detailed review. We really appreciate it! We’ve updated our menu to indicate vegan vs vegetarian options. Sorry we do not have gluten free items at the moment. We will take it into consideration. Our facility is small so it’s hard to avoid gluten contamination. Thank you for your understanding.
