Corner 17 Noodles & Bubble Tea
Review! St. Louis, Missouri // Chinese restaurant + bubble tea // iconic
the ELEVATOR PITCH
Corner 17 is like a siren to a sailor, she can effortlessly serenade any tough I-only-eat-authentic-Chinese-food (like my dad’s) taste buds to oblivion with anything on her menu, she’s just that talented! From her starters to her hand pulled noodles, to the house made baozi and classic entrée dishes, this is as close to the streets of China as you can get.
And what’s more jaw dropping? The more you learn about her, the more you’re shocked! Deep, wholesome, inspiring origin story (read here)? Sweet service staff? Unique, elaborate, delicious bubble tea concoctions on top of wowza food? Seriously, are you even real?
Once the shock subsides, you just have to come to terms with the fact that Corner 17 is a lovely restaurant and bubble tea shop that seems to do everything well.
