Decent Food in Saint Louis?

Question

HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!! I've lived in Saint Louis for 6 months now and it seems like the only decent food in town is on the Hill or costs an arm and a leg at some foofy restaurant. Where are all the Mexican's and Asian's in this town? They have to eat somewhere.... If you tell me El McGeuey's Mexican on Olive (or however you spell it) is good I'm going to have to hurt you... That's not FOOD it's HOG SLOP! And what's with this nasty brown Chef Boyardee sauce everyone pours all over their Mexican food? I've got news for you... THAT'S NOT MOLE it's liquid crap!!!! Also you can't find fish in this town to save your life... fresh sushi just isn't possible here!

The only thing this town has going for it is BBQ.

I'm going to starve to death living here... HELP!!!!!!!!!!

In case you haven't noticed, look around, no one here is starving.  Too much BBQ!  There is a new Mexican place in Crestwood on Watson in a strip mall with a Shop & Save. It's just west of Sappington.  I though it was very good and they had a lot of things I've never seen on other menus.  Give it a shot.
Asian.  Try Olivette.  Or south city.  As far as Italian, the hill is still the best thing going.  Fish is a tough one.  I think Bristols on Olive is very good.  But it is fancy and expensive.  If you join their birthday club, you get a free lobster on your birthday.  I think it costs $10.00 to join though.  I don't like sushi so can't help you there.  If you ever feel like getting business casual at least, and have some bucks to spend, try Surf and Sirloin on Manchester in Des Peres.  One of my favorite places.

for sushi - theres a really good place on south Lindberg, just south of I-44, called Tokyo Sushi.  Its right across the street from Helen Fitzgeralds, which has excellent Irish food and hot wings.
