Menya Rui

Menya Rui is a critically acclaimed ramen shop at 3453 Hampton Avenue in St. Louis's Lindenwood Park neighborhood, opened by chef-owner Steven Pursley, a Food & Wine Best New Chef 2023 honoree who spent three years training at ramen shops in Okinawa and mainland Japan. The first ramen shop in St. Louis to make its own noodles — on a machine imported from Japan — Menya Rui ranked number two on Yelp's nationwide Top 100 Restaurants list in 2024 and serves shoyu ramen, tsukemen, and mazemen to a 24-seat dining room.
