Meredith Yarnbomb: Iced vanilla chai with boba + their HUGE portions of chicken lo mein or vegetable fried rice = best lunch ever.
Jazzy: If it's your first time here, get the #1 Boba Milk Tea (WITH boba, of course) for an authentic but non-risky experience.
Dustin Turpin: Best bubble tea in the St Louis metro area. Food is great too. 9/10 dentists recommend.

Laura: The house salad is a must-have: pistachios, prosciutto, and parm on romaine with a balsamic vinegarette that has the creaminess of ceasar. Tiramisu is light and fluffy. Excellent service. Low lunch $!
Alan Hautly: Excellent soups and awesome Gorgonzola spread
Cyndy Woodard: It's not on the menu... Bit ask for the fried ravioli. And put the Gorgonzola cheese on it. Yum!!

Riverfront Times: The dips-and-spreads app features warm pita bread fanned among three very distinctively different but complementary dips. SqWires' modern flare fits in beautifully against the historic backdrop. Read more.

Michelle C.: Trendy atmosphere. Had the bim-min-bob (sp?) and it was very good! Spicy, flavorful. Dim sum appetizer was good. A little pricier for what we got.
Riverfront Times: Try the "Hiro ramen," a delicate yet richly flavored pork broth filled to the brim with soft, nutty wheat noodles. http://bit.ly/1bWKwlP
Brooks: The Lobster Rangoon with the Chili Sauce is fantastic!
