Tiny Chef

I was really excited to try Tiny Chef after having had read such wonderful reviews and since I typically enjoy Korean food. But the food was disappointing for both my partner and me. He had ordered the fried rice and pork. I had ordered the tacos on corn tortillas with tofu and dragon sauce. We both wanted to like it but it just missed the mark for us both. The flavors on the taco didn't compliment each other well for me. My partner said his pork wasn't really meat but more like skin. Although I didn't enjoy the food as much as I would have liked to, I will say the owner seems to really pour her heart into her cooking and craft. That alone is a rare find and makes Tiny Chef worth going to.

I've heard Tiny Chef was really good, and I got a chance to try it while playing pinball at the Silver Ballroom. I got the bibmibap bowl with pork belly and dragon sauce. It was delicious! The dragon sauce had just the right amount of spiciness for me (maybe a 2 on a 5 point scale). The ingredients were fresh, and it was full of flavor. 10/10, I'll definitely be having it again the next time I'm in the mood to play pinball.

My first time eating Tiny Chef and it was worth the hype! The food delivered bold flavor and a generous portion for the price.

The food good, but my tacos today missed the mark. I ALWAYS order the exact same thing, pork belly tacos, corn tortilla, dragon sauce. So I know what to expect. I get home today to find flour tortillas, 3x the normal amount of dragon sauce and only two lime wedges for three tacos. That much sauce throws off the balance that makes these a great taco. Wish I didnt have to knock it down a star, but this was lazy execution on a 'not busy' night. More sauce does not equal better.

I absolutely LOVE TINY CHEF!!!! I have had the tacos and bibimbap, as well as many of the specials. Whatever you choose is simply the right choice, because it is all delicious and made with love. I've been following the Chef and Owner's story for years now, and feel so grateful we have her making Korean street food for St. Louis! Also the bar (The Silver Ballroom) that this restaurant is situated in is the perfect dive, with a backroom filled with pinball machines. Come with friends and make it a night!

Excellent well seasoned food, not a huge choice of food and I missed the special written on the kitchen door at the window but my steak bibimbap was very good. Drinks at the bar are exceptionally well priced tho a different business. Laid back vibe, friendly ppl. I'd go back.

I tried Tiny Chef at The Silver Ballroom and it was incredible!! The special that weekend was Korean nachos and I got them with pork and dragon sauce. The meat was flavorful, tender, and rich - the perfect compliment to the spicy jalapeños, crunchy chips, creamy sauce, and salty cheese. Plus, I loved the dive bar ambience with pin ball machines. The service was fast and the person working the food window was very friendly. I can’t wait to go back!
