Thanks for the reminders about Shu Feng and U-City Grill, especially the latter, which is a great hidden treasure. I think St. Louis' Chinese selection is fairly limited in style. We lack high-end Chinese, and we lack noodle houses and other "diner style" Chinese, although I've heard of a new place called Wei Hong on South Grand in the latter category. We also lack the so-called fusion style of Asian, with the possible exception of Zoe's Pan Asian on Euclid. If you haven't been to The Crossing in Clayton yet, I can't say enough good things about it. Pretty expensive; much less so at lunch. I'd put it in the same category as Harvest and Fio's (and Richard Perry from years ago) in terms of introducing St. Louis to innovations. As for this group, it must have become so popular that nobody comes here anymore :-).
