Nudo House
Nudo House has opened its second location in the Delmar Loop. Qui Tran and Marie-Anne Velasco marked Nudo House’s first anniversary in July 2018 with news of a second location, which is slated to open this spring in the Everly on the Loop building on the eastern half of the Delmar Loop. When they announced the news, Tran noted the significance of the new location’s Delmar Boulevard address to his family. His mother, Lee Tran, opened Mai Lee a few miles west on Delmar. “It’s very nostalgic,” Tran told the Post-Dispatch. “It’s coming full circle.” The new Nudo House will follow the original’s menu of pho, several different styles of ramen — including my co-favorites, the tonkotsu and the Hebrew Hammer (chicken paitan) — and soft-serve ice cream.
