Food is fantastic, unexpectedly I loved the Bamboo stew a lot. The tables are a little crowded, but I like the vibe of the restaurant as a whole.

As I understand, this restaurant was the catalyst to revitalizing this neighborhood and they have the James Beard award and additional accolades to prove it. I opted for a tofu noodle bowl with sesame and perhaps the sesame had too much of a vinegar quality to it, making my food tangy and acidic. It didn't balance well with the spice of the dish but overall I can tell there's some quality happening here, I just didn't order the right thing on my first go around. My friend gets the shrimp fried rice with the spicy eggplant and doesn't order anything else. I wish I'd asked for a taste but he scarfed it down like a ravenous animal. One bathroom available as the other in the 2nd dining area was locked and our table had the fried rice leftovers on my seat. They reserve tables of four for three or more people but we couldn't find a spot otherwise so our party of two sat there, we got a few looks but oh well. And they use non plastic silverware here which is a bonus. I also appreciate the Excel soda selection although I didn't get a chance to partake.

Stopped by here after a massage at Soma Therapeutic nearby and was highly satisfied. Food was great, customer service was superb, wait time was very minimal, and it gave good and laid back vibes! Would visit again; thanks Lona’s

Staff is friendly, and the food was not bad.

This place is tucked up in California Ave in St Louis. We have been here a couple times and honestly I love it. It's in an old house, but has maintained a bit of charm. Trust me if you like fusion food you need to try this place at least once. LonaQ sauce and the peanut sauce are a must!

My favorite place to eat in the area, I stop by here whenever I'm in town and get the big rice paper wrap, I haven't found a place with a food selection like this elsewhere.

Bland Americanized Asian food served on wax paper that becomes part of your food as you eat it. I guess wax paper is the seasoning? The food tasted and looked like left overs. Dry, tasteless chicken. The glass noodles were good, but not enough to enjoy the meal. 4 sauces we tried were mediocre at best.

What a lucky find. I was looking for a yummy dinner including a good veggie. The staff person greeted me and explained the menu in a super friendly way. I had the Big Thai Wrap in a rice paper wrap with a side of bok choy. To be honest this was as exciting as my first burrito from Burrito Brothers in 1991 Washington DC. Besides the food there was good standard jazz playing. The eaters seemed down to earth a diverse. I highly recommend.

Great neighborhood establishment. Cozy vibe, delicious food, and amazing customer service tucked into a pocket of St. Louis.
