Consistently every week, Lona's comes up in our conversation and our rotation…read more Whether we're picking a place for dine-in or takeout, or we have guests interested in a quick bite, Lona's unique wraps, tasty side dishes, speediness, unpretentious charming neighborhood location, friendly service, and excellent price:performance ratio is a winner. Standouts for us include the smoked brisket wrap, bamboo stew, spicy eggplant, stir fried glass noodles. However every item on the menu is great.

After reading alllll the reviews I was excited to try this place. But, it just did not reach all my…read moreexpectations based off the reviews I read. This place did have fresh food, I'll give it that. But, it definitely lacked in aspects that didn't make it amazing or something I'd really suggest unless someone I knew was vegetarian. We were served quickly but definitely felt like the staff had a very "meh" attitude. It's a very specific type of place, mismatched furniture, kind of eclectic. It gives very "lived in vibes". The food itself was okay. The steak dumpling were probably my favorite but I wish there was more options for dipping sauce rather than just chili crisp oil. I ordered the big Thai wrap, and while it was good, I had to ask for extra sauce because the lettuce was just overwhelming, like there was just a giant wad of it thrown in there. The wrap itself is a rice paper so you really can't put it down when you eat it or it just falls apart. But, overall, with extra sauce, rearranging things a bit everything was generally good. Would I go out of my way to go back? Probably not but it's definitely a great place to try for yourself.

It's full of flavor and consistently great. The staff is always super nice and welcoming with a smile. The only downside on my recent visit was an altercation, with a worker and either stranger or a customer (I'm not sure exactly) but things got thrown, and it was pretty upsetting to witness as a customer. It was unsettling, especially with other customers around. Regardless, it didn't take away from my experience too much and we ended up getting takeout instead. Nonetheless, all my other visits have been fantastic. I'll definitely keep coming back, but I hope that kind of incident doesn't happen again.

It's a small spot on Cherokee, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for it! Order at the counter and they make it quickly. I wasn't sure what to get, they all sounded delicious! I asked the staff member what his fav was and he suggested their best selling sandwich. I *want* to say it was the crunch and munch after browsing the menu. Everything was fresh and I really liked the sauce on it. It came with a drink and chips. It lasted me 2 meals so it's a good size. I enjoyed on the patio while in my meeting. Overall, it was a good experience! I would definitely go back to check out their other sandwich types!

I was honestly surprised I was the only customer in this place when I walked in. You can decide from the menu if you want a burrito, nachos, poke bowl, or a salad. They also have a seasonal item which I think is a great addition. I ordered the tiger style tuna burrito and i was pleasantly surprised. Very flavorful and all the ingredients worked so well together. The only thing I regret is not getting extra OG fire sauce on the side because it was indeed, fire. Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

I ended up getting ordering a Cali bowl with jalapeños on top. The employee was friendly and allowd me time to decide on what I wanted. I will say their burritos are better than the bowls on my opinion. I ordered a bowl and a drink and it was $18 which to me is on the pricey side. I also think you get more bang for your buck with getting a burrito. The place is well lit and clean and they have an abundance of condiments after you get done paying. As always until next time...

WOULD recommend (general). Stopped by late morning for a quick bite, I have been here a few times…read morebefore but never actually ordered anything but its location is pretty good, right in the heart of the grove. There wasn't that much line when I went, they take your other at the kiosk by the bar. They have a large assortment of sandwiches, comes in whole OR half (which is half the price of a whole). I ordered 2 half sandwiches, "The Meatball" and "The Steak Out". It didn't take long at all to make my sandwiches and they also have options to customize specialty sandwiches if specific toppings are wanted. The Steak Out was the 1st sandwich tried, and was the best one out of the two. The steak was cooked medium rare but isn't too rare at all or overcooked past that if you are worried about that either. Not only that, but the jalapenos and the pepper mayo are to die for, and they didn't completely soak it in sauce (which is a common concern as well). Everything tastes so freshly made, with half a sandwich honestly being more than enough for 1 sitting. Overall rating 8.9/10. The Meatball was very good as well, meatballs were cooked well throughout and tender to the bite. I am not completely mad at the Baguette being the bread of choice but they couldn't have went wrong with ciabatta neither. It was a very solid sandwich, nothing too extraordinary but nothing I can really complain about neither. Overall rating 8.3/10. In past visits, I have also tried the Enzo Gorlomi (basically a spicy italian) which I thought was better than both sandwiches I tried during that visit, but I may be biased because I love spicy italian sandwiches. Should still try though in my opinion. All in all, I would definitely come back to this place when I'm in the area, pricing is pretty good for the food amount and quality you are getting. Vibes are cool in there, they seem like a business with a lot of experience doing what they do. I wouldn't say they are the absolute best in St. Louis... yet, but they are definitely up there for sure. They are also open until 1:30AM Tues - Sat so its a great late night option.
