The area's first Vietnamese restaurant has relocated to a bigger, better space, but its charm remains. The menu is quite long and has the rare quality of appealing to novices and aficionados alike. For example, you can order spring rolls (goi cuon) or you can roll your own. House specialties include excellent roast duck and a beguiling lamb dish with lemongrass and chiles, troo xao xa ot.

As St. Louis' first Vietnamese restaurant, Mai Lee's place in local culinary history is guaranteed. But when owner Lee Tran and her family announced their plans to move from the western edge of University City to a strange new location -- the ground floor of a parking garage in Brentwood, sandwiched between the Best Buy/Sports Authority colossus and the South Hanley Road Home Depot, even passionate fans raised a skeptical eyebrow. Our worries were unfounded. Mai Lee is thriving in its... More »
