Monsoon Vietnamese Bistro in Ballwin

Authentic, delicious Vietnamese food. Everything from Pho to Curry; hot tea to wine. Service is super friendly, prompt and fresh. Plenty of seating at a full bar as well as table service for family dining, meetings or date night. Closes after lunch until reopening for 5pm dinner.

the restraunt is nice

Really good food, extremely great service, great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back to try some other dishes.

Delicious mealMenu is essentialEasy to choose

Delicious! Great service.

Great prices, good service and yummy food!

I've only had the curry dish and pho, both are excellent, oh and the spring roll are like small burritos.

Food was delicious, and atmosphere was comfortable. Would definitely recommend the Pho!

Good ambiance, gracious host, great food, good options for vegetarians. On the more expensive side, but we enjoyed the dinner.

Nice decor / atmosphere. Very polite staff, but understaffed - slow service and looooong wait for food after ordering. My meal (stir fry vegetables and seafood (shrimp, scallops, and calamari) on seared egg & rice noodles was excellent. The sear made for a really enjoyable noodle texture and flavor. The calamari was firm, yet tender - wonderful. Looking forward to coming back.

They have such consistently good food. My favorite is the curry. Spicy calamari and shaking beef. I've yet to order anything here that wasn't delicious. They have skinny down the menu quite a bit and I did not see scallops which were always amazing so I don't know if they've been taken off the menu or if that's only available in the evening.

Excellent food excellent service pho was delicious as always

Nick is very friendly. The food is tasty with fresh ingredients. There are several authentic items that are delicious and unexpected, such as Vietnamese meat cake.

Pleasant atmosphere with great service, & simply amazing food. Had the spring rolls and grill pork vermicelli salad. Definitely be back for more.

The service is consistently speedy, great atmosphere, very friendly staff. Will return again when I arrive here.

This place has been on my "want to try" list for a while so when we discovered my favorite restaurant, Rice Thai Bistro, wasn't open we decided to give this place a try. The service was good and we didn't have to wait, but sadly the food was just okay. The calamari appetizer was good, but our entrees, Halong Bay Shrimp and Pad Thai, lacked the freshness and spice you'd expect from this type of cuisine. After reading other reviews, I'd consider going back to try the Pho, but I dont think it will be any time soon.

One of my favorites! Their dumplings are a must have.

Excellent food and the best Pho around! The owner is awesome!

The pho was very good, great prices and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Best curry ever bruh

Great Veg options. The owner is a incredibly friendly and provides exceptional service. He will make you feel like family. No wrong thing to order it's all good. The hard part is making a decision with every dish being so darn tasty. . As a meat eater I loved the fish and steak dishes. As a vegetarian I'm loving the tofu and I ask for all the veggies in curry, spicy lemongrass, or Zen sauce. The SPRING ROLLS ARE 🔥🔥🔥. Crispy tofu is b o m b. The side of eggplant curry kills it.

Great and fresh PHO. I’ll be back again

Their phos and Tom yum soup sooooo sooo comforting for a cold winter day...a must try

Love the pho here!

Food is good but a little overpriced for the portion. Highly recommended though.

One of the better places I have been too. The service and quality is outstanding. The owner is very friendly and always involved. Very relaxing environment as well.

A decent dining experience, consistent over two visits. Spacious, high ceilings, sleek and modern yet still comfy and casual. We enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered but no "wow factor" to merit a better rating. During the week, there is only one waiter. Somehow he manages to pull off a pretty amazing feat of getting it all done even with 8 full tables. Prices are moderate with a few specials at the higher end. Worth a try if you live nearby, not worth a long drive.

Outstanding food. Best dumplings we've ever had. I think the entre we had was "hu tiu xao CO bin", which had big seared noodles with shrimp, scallops and vegetables was also delicious.

Great food and service. The owner is very friendly as well. Had the shrimp Pho and it was delicious. Would definitely come back again.

Good flavors and portions. A little limited in scope. Surprised they did not have the vinegar/hot chili condiment. Sliced jalapeño is not the same thing.

Still the best Vietnamese hidden gem of Ballwin/Manchester.

Small menu, but what we ordered was excellent. Presentation of meal was great. Staff was efficient and friendly. Prices were as expected for this type of venue. Dinner for 2 for under $50. Will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed the food and the simplicity of the restaurant. The staff were very nice. The portions were just right. The food was delicious.

Great food and service. I went around 2:30. The menu has a lot of options from soups, noodle and rice dishes, appetizers, salads and grilled or seared steak and fish. Just wonderful. Not too fancy, but nice for day and night atmosphere and great food.

We've been long-time patrons. The owner is incredibly gracious, attentive and nice!The food is awesome 👌👌👌

Good service and good food

We always love the food! The only reason I took a star away is because the place is so understaffed. Everyone is kind but it takes forever to get seated no matter how many tables are available.

Delicious, freshly prepared dishes and outstanding service. There are too many mediocre Chinese restaurants in the area; Monsoon's Vietnamese fare is several cuts above all of them.

Absolutely delicious and great service

This place is fantastic. We've been going here about once a month since they opened many years ago. The staff is friendly - Nick always greets us by name - and the food is consistently great. I take clients here regularly and they always request to meet back here for future lunches. We eat at a lot of excellent ethnic places all over town and this is one of our absolute favorites - and one of the few where we don't have to head deeper into the city for something really good or original. You will not be disappointed.

Vietnamese foods are the best. Pho is delicious here.

good food. service was good but not great. the acoustics were horrible which seems like a weird thing to say but we went for lunch, there were a few other people there but it,wasn't crowded and I could barely hear the person across from me. When we walked outside we all commented on how loud it had been in there.

Our favorite place to get Pho in St. Louis. Friendly service, relaxing atmosphere and delicious food.

Really nice and clean broth for Pho.Tasty calamari with really nice dipping sauce but spring rolls were average. Service can be very slow during peak time so be ready to wait if you really want to try here.

The food was great, as always, and my wife and I were delighted to meet the owner. We will definitely be returning!

Nice quiet place. Love the appetizers and very good pho 👍

Very friendly owners, good food!

Yesssss. This place is a gem and my new favorite spot. So glad we found it! 🙌

Fantastic Vietnamese Food... I have been going to this place very often these day. I love their Pho Ga ...Only caveat, they need a bigger spoon for soup..

Great food, very friendly employees, consistently awesome vibes. They charge reasonable pricing and the food quality is good. I recommend this place.
