Plenty of vegetarian options, I made my own spring roll with tofu, stir fried noodles, and peanut sauce on the side. The sauce was thinner than expected but very flavorful. The roll is hard to eat as it starts to fall apart so I was glad I was eating in the comfort of my own home lol, next time I might opt for a bowl. The spicy cucumber salad is amazing would definitely get again. Servers are very friendly, cute spot in the middle of a more residential area.

What a darling local hangout! There are lots of choices from vegan to carnivore, spicy or not, glass noodles or stirfry rice. The lines can grow long, but it moves fast. This place is obviously a mecca for everyone. There are a few tables downstairs, but there is another room past a flight of steps, with more room to enjoy your meal. The cashier was incredibly kind and patient, and took time to explain things to my elderly aunt. Diners get a great deal for the price paid! Parking was free , but in a residential area. It was my first time here, and it will not be the last! I got the spicy tofu rice paper roll with glass noodles and the smoked vinaigrette. It was large, and delicious, but not spicy! It came with a salad that had a peanut dressing, also not spicy. We also shared spicy Eggplant, which was very spicy, and Mushroom dumplings. The dumplings weren't spicy, but the chili oil dipping sauce had heat!

My #1 favorite spot in St. Louis!! This place is so unique and fresh and delicious I love it so much. I live about 15 min away but get it almost every week still. It's my go to place for sure. They have such great service and the vibe is very casual. It's great for a little date night, hanging out with friends, or even picking it up to go. I get the big Thai chicken wrap every time and it never fails to hit the spot. I recommend this to anyone and everyone for sure. I've never found anything like it anywhere in the states (trust me I've looked)! Not everyone likes rice paper wraps because of their texture but I recommend giving it a shot :) The only thing is the wraps won't stay good in the fridge because the fridge dries out the rice paper so they have to be eaten fresh!!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good Lona's is. I got the spicy tofu plate with a side of stir-fried glass noodles. The addition of the vinaigrette sauce was the best part (maybe because I really like vinegar) and I really enjoyed how the spicy tofu and vinaigrette combined. The location is in the middle of a neighborhood so it's pretty peaceful and nice to eat outside. I just wish they would give bowls for rice dishes so it's easier to scoop but not a big deal.

I guess this is an update to my numerous reviews of Lona's Lil Eats. As usual the food is excellent, and the service is quick. There's usually very interesting music playing in the background that seems to change from day today. If you're a vegetarian or would like to try a little less meat in your diet, I highly recommend the spicy tofu wrap. They also, if you're lucky have coconut, pineapple cookies, and really flavorful chocolate brownies for dessert.

It was 2024. A warm February. My friends and I were in St. Louis for a night, on our way from Ohio to Kansas City for a writers conference. Two of us are vegetarians, one is gluten free, the three of us are food enjoyers and looking for amazing food. Isaiah found Lona's and we walked there from our airbnb. The atmosphere is lovely and while I was sure the shrimp pesto noodles would be my order, I changed my mind as soon as I saw the rice paper wrap. I threw my plans to the wind and jumped on that wrap, ordering the Big Thai. Reader, it was the right decision. Somewhere, Taylor Swift might've been planning on running for office and announcing it during the Super Bowl or something. But me? I was eating amazing food with my friends. Isaiah ordered the veggie sampler, Kurt another veggie wrap. We also got the mushroom dumplings. We were intrigued by the awards on the walls and pulled up the article titled "The Tenacity of Lona Lou" which was so inspiring. Our server, Foster, clocked Kurt's "poems" hat and started speaking poetry. By the end of the night, we'd each (Foster included) written 2 haikus. It was a nurturing and filling and wonderful experience. Next time I'm in St. Louis I'll be sure to come back. Haiku: it feels like freedom I chew with my mouth open don't tell my mother

After a very long flight from California my cousin who's been raving about this place suggested we pick up some Wraps. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Wrap (size of a burrito) which included a side of Glass Noodles. I also ordered 3 Steak SpringRolls. We picked up the order curbside. As soon as I got settled in at home I dug into my meal. My goodness EVERYTHING was so delicious even the that peanut sauce. Before I return back to California I will definitely order another Wrap to take back California

Lona's Lil Eats: I love stopping in here for lunch, very close to Fox Park. They normally to get busy between takeout and dine in orders so be patient - the food is all very fresh and made to order, so it does take some time (or at least did for us this time). My friend and I both got the build your own options - they have an option for spicy and non-spicy tofu, the stir fried noodles are not super spicy but very flavorful, and the glass burritos are packed with fresh greens/salad. I got the Lime-Ginger Peanut Sauce - VERY good! Usually I get the spicy sesame, but I am glad I branched out this time! I also got a side of the spicy cucumber which was delicious - refreshing and not too spicy. Lona's is counter serve and then you can find a spot to sit, we love it!
