U-city Grill - University City

This restaurant is absolutely incredible! It’s my top choice when it comes to dining out. I haven't discovered any other place that compares to U City Grill in terms of taste, price, and convenience. Even though I've relocated to Atlanta, I still travel back to Saint Louis just to savor the dishes at U City Grill. I'm their biggest fan!

The food was amazing, but the staff seemed a little unfriendly while helping me. Also, be aware that they only accept cash, so come prepared!

The food was incredible! You sit at a counter where the chef and owner prepares the dishes right before your eyes. The place has a charming retro, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere that feels underrated. Be sure to bring cash! We ordered the bulgogi beef, bibimbap, and bokkeumbap, and everything was fantastic. We'll definitely be returning!

The food is consistently delicious. Please be aware that seating is limited.

As we were stepping out, the restaurant owner, a man in his mid-50s, came out and began to loudly berate us from across the parking lot. He accused us of being rude for not informing him we were leaving and claimed we had messed up his chairs. Although I'd seen various reviews online mentioning the owner's rude behavior, I never expected to be verbally attacked by him for simply adjusting four chairs. He started yelling at my family and me, insisting that customers inside reported we had caused a mess with the chairs. Confused by his outburst, we decided to go back in and ask the customers for themselves, while the owner continued to shout at us. To our surprise, the customers denied ever saying anything of the sort. We were left utterly baffled and appalled by the entire experience. We will definitely not be returning, and we were horrified by the owner's aggressive behavior towards our family.
