I am initially want to try their Pho but convinced by their pork belly. I always bought it to go and it’s a masterpiece! So delicious! Must try! With rice or noodles, they both delicious 😋
The owners are very pleasant and personable. It is more friendly than most Asian ran businesses. The food is fresh and delicious and consistent. My second time here, I got the pork belly both times and loved it both times. Nothing was microwaved, and for the price $20 I was very pleased and would come again.
TL;DR A great addition to STL with a few flaws
My wife and I visited last weekend! We’re a little spoiled because we lived in Seattle for 8 years and had a plethora of good Vietnamese food at our fingertips. Overall, we enjoyed the food here, but there are definitely weak spots.
The good:
- Family owned, local operation. Love to support local when we can and this is a great neighborhood spot.
- Clean, simple dining area.
- Fresh ingredients!
- Tasty food, well made. We left full and satisfied. I had the beef soup and my wife had the chicken noodle salad. Both were very tasty! The Pho was a little different than I was used to— there were bell peppers in the soup which I’ve never seen (not necessarily bad, just a little unusual ).
Could be better:
- Price and portion. $18 beef soup is a lot, especially in St. Louis. In fact, it would be expensive in Seattle too. The portion size was ok for the soup, but the chicken salad was quite small for $15z
- Lack of table side condiments. I would usually expect Siracha or Hoisin at the table. Soup also needed a little more in it like onion, basil, etc.
- No vegetarian main courses. This seems like the biggest oversight to me, especially since dishes can’t be substituted or modified.
We will be back though! Especially because I think STL lacks good Vietnamese options. I think you won’t be dissatisfied if you go here.

After seeing my friend post about Dou Dou Cafe on Snapchat, I knew what I was having the next day got lunch! A nice quaint space, limited menu but delicious offerings of what's available!
I had the Spicy Pork Belly Bowl that was amazing! The pork was so tender and the rendered fat gave boss flavor! The spice level was a lil up there but perfect heat for me! Also had the beef lettuce wraps and spring rolls that were both beautiful bite of savory, sweet and freshness! My buddy had the Spicy Lemon Grass Beef Noodle Soup and slurped it down to the last drop. Caution though... Spicy is Spicy... at least he was teary eyed but just couldn't stop!
Overall, don't miss out on this hidden gem! Literally... between the trees next to the historic Cheshire on Clayton Road! Get you some!

Dou Dou Cafe is a hidden gem that I’m so glad someone told me about! The restaurant is small, clean, and convenient to get to. The food is fresh and delicious! I loved my spring rolls and beef lettuce wraps and can’t wait to go back for pho! I’d highly recommend!
The food here is AMAZING. I am stoked we randomly discovered this place looking for somewhere to grab dinner last minute. The spicy pork was tender and soo flavorful. The lemongrass beef soup was fresh, spicy, delicious and beautiful. We will be back!
I used to live in Asia and this is the best Vietnamese food I've ever had.
It's a small store with a small menu, but my party of 11 got most of their menu and everyone loved what they got. The food is flavourful and fresh. So happy we found this place!

Highly recommended restaurant! The menu is small, but the food is fresh and delicious. It is family owned, and the owner is very nice. You can feel that the owner cooks with love. I also like the decoration and layout. Bright, clean and lovely! Definitely well come back.
