Lona's Lil Eats is definitely worth visiting. The overall atmosphere is upbeat and homey. It definitely feels locally owned. The service was quick and portions were large. I loved how well seasoned the food was. Definitely didn't regret checking it out!

I ordered take out. A rice paper wrap with tofu and peanut sauce. The wrap fell apart almost immediately, it was the hardest thing to eat. There were 2-3 pieces of tofu and practically no sauce. It was almost all noodles. The side was spicy noodles and it was flavorless and sauceless. I felt like I was eating straight pepper flakes with noodles. The half & half dumplings were really good though. I wouldn’t order from here again. Wasn’t my kind of food.

Love the rice wraps here. The atmosphere is very chill and great spot to eat outside. I have stopped twice while passing through St Louis. Easy access off the highway and usually plenty of street parking. Vegan/vegetarian options are solid.

Lona’s Lil Eats is a must-visit – the food is amazing with a great selection of plates and wraps that you can customize. The eggplant side is incredible. I can't wait to try the Thai chicken wrap on my next visit. With plenty of options, I will definitely be back!

Lona's Lil Eats was okay . It is a small restaurant that has you order up front at the order window. And then give you a number to wait at a table of your choice. The food was OK. I ordered a smoked turkey in a rice paper wrap with Jamie rice. The jasmine rice was tasty, and the smoked turkey was flavorful, but the rice halfway down the wrap was cold. This was a little disappointing. My wife had a problem with garlic. She ordered a salad, but the salad was dry, with no plain olive oil and vinegar in the place. They gave her a lemon that did nothing. Her jasmine rice was also cold. Overall, it's was not a pleasant experience . With a very large menu, you should find something you like. If you have some type of food allergy, you may want to look closely at how the food is prepared. There is a large vegetarian menu that should appeal to that group of diners.

LOVED the food. Excellent flavors and textures, lots of spice. The articles and awards on the walls speak for themselves. Very laid back and homey atmosphere. Great prices. We came here due to the gluten free options and on our trip to STL, this is the top casual eatery we experienced out of our 8 or so meals. About a decade ago, I lived in a town in Southern China and, until now, have never found anything close to the flavors I experienced there. This is the real deal.

We ate at Lona's on a Friday night in April and enjoyed ourselves. The spicy eggplant was our favorite, but it all was delightful. The atmosphere was quirky but clean. The service was friendly and prompt.

Our first time here and wow!! Great food. Smoked brisket wrap & spicy eggplant for the win! WARNING: SPICY 🔥 but good spicy. My wife got the Thai chicken wrap & spicy noodle salad. Mine was better but she got a side of peanut butter sauce to dip hers in.. 🫠 yummy Can't wait to go back!
