Lona's Lil Eats

Soooo good and you can customize dishes to meet dietary restrictions like vegan and gluten free.

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.

The eggplant was unforgettable. The noodles, exquisite. Gluten free! Vegetarian! I’ve been thinking about alternate timelines lately — in this one, I live in a sweet neighborhood with brick houses in St Louis, a top floor walk up apartment with a fire escape. The sun is setting later, the evening is balmy. On Tuesdays I walk over to Lona’s for for their Veggie Sampler - a hearty rice, cucumber salad, tofu. Who presses all these soy beans? I’m grateful for Lona. For colorful paint on the walls and window sills.
