Great place in fox park! Really enjoyed walking over the other night from our Airbnb. Prices are reasonable, service was excellent, and the overall friendly vibe made this a great experience. Adult beverages are for sale as well. The menu is varied with several vegan and vegetarian options of their Asian fusion cuisine. As always, you simply can’t go wrong with smoked brisket. A real must try if you’re in the area!
I've been to hundreds of restaurants and this is some of the best food I've ever eaten! Absolutely phenomenal! The sauces are fantastic and be sure to try their pork!
I was so excited about this place.The stars are for the waitstaff - they were wonderful. I'm sorry I can't rate it higher. I don't know if they were running low on rice paper wraps today, but my wrap was more like a salad - it was only wrapped about halfway.I got the spicy tofu wrap. The rice paper was inedible. And the filling is mostly romaine. I can't say it's worth the price tag.
Love, love, love it! Was my 1st time there, the service was great, everyone was friendly & personable especially the cashier & it had a home feel to it & the food was delicious! And if you can have it, don't forget to get some "Punch"! I will definitely be back!
I posted a takeout order from Lona’s for lunch today. It was my first time trying their food. The online ordering was very easy, and the food was ready within 15 minutes, at or better what I am used to. The restaurant itself is very fun, with good music and friendly staff working the counter. I ordered the chicken spring rolls with spicy peanut sauce and eggplant side salad. Very reasonable price for what I am used to for takeout ordering, and what did not seem like a bunch of food at first left me with a nutritious and filling meal for a big guy! I can see why the past reviews are so good! It was highly enjoyable. Thanks and will be back for more!
I love Lona’s - possibly my favorite restaurant in the St. Louis area!I always get the Big Thai Wrap and the side of eggplant, which is delicious. Sometimes they run out of the rice paper wraps, which can be disappointing … but it’s also fantastic to have them prepare it over glass noodles, which I would recommend in that situation!Their patio area is great on a summer’s evening and you should definitely try the sodas from their drink machine, which are different than regular ol’ Coke. I really like the cherry one, but the others are good too.I would give Lona’s my unqualified recommendation - don’t miss it if you’re visiting or live in St. Louis!!
When I lived in St. Louis almost 10 years ago we went to this restaurant and were taken back by how unique and delicious the food was and how friendly the owners were. My mom and I were just talking today about Thai food and we recalled how amazing that place in St. Louis was. I could not remember the name of this restaurant, but low and behold google happened to save this in my location history from seven years ago! A little creepy yes but also kind of cool how we were able to retrace our footsteps. My family suggested we make a trip to St. Louis from Chicago just to dine here! How could I say no? Looking forward to potentially visiting later in the summer!
I was excited to visit Lona's for the first time and try some of their rice-paper-wrapped creations. Unfortunately, the night I visited, they had run out of rice paper! Yes, really.I ordered the spicy tofu wrap (on a tortilla, unfortunately) with spicy eggplant and an order of mushroom dumplings. The tofu wrap was good, tortilla and all. Delicious blend of flavors with the spice, the cilantro, the sweet cabbage... I could eat that every day. I bet it's even better on rice paper. ?The dumplings were also addictive. Savory, with a spicy sauce. Either item probably would have been enough on their own.I appreciated the dedication to minimizing waste by setting chopsticks aside to be washed and reused. I'm not clear on the wisdom of serving everything on butcher paper, but okay. ? I'll be back another day to try the rice paper.
First time and they said they were out of rice paper, I got the suggested tortilla instead and steak dumplings too. The dumplings are stupid delicious! My new favorite dumplings for sure. The chicken Thai wrap was delicious and very large! I got the glass noodles as the side, also delicious! This place is wonderful and I'll be back this week!!!!
Got the Big Thai wrap with a side of stir fry glass noodles and I am IN LOVE. My tastebuds are singing praises and will be thinking about those noodles forever. I live out of state but this will be a new must stop when visiting family. The clarity of the menu and their knowledge of which items contain certain allergens is so so wonderful. I have a lot of anxiety about trying new places due to my dairy allergy, so I am eternally grateful for places like this. Literally why are you still reading, just go order!!!
