Lona's Little Eats 10-4-19

We had heard from several people to go to Lona's.  Since we are from the Wentzville area, I knew we needed to be in St. Louis and then go to Lona's since it is about 50 minutes from our house.

We had been to the History Museum, which closes at 5 p.m., so it was the perfect time to head over to Lona's. 

I am not familiar with the Fox Park area.  It is very close to Lafayette Square. 

When we arrived (about 5:30) it was not super busy, so we were able to sit and read the menu and even ask questions. 

We decided to try a bunch of things...

• Spring rolls (3 rolls, each a different kind).  Came with dipping sauces.  Very yummy.
• Dumplings (we got 3 steak and 3 mushroom).  Both were good, but nothing great.  
• I got the rice paper burrito with steak and stir fried glass noodles (and some veggies) with the lime, ginger, peanut sauce.  It was GREAT.  It was too much to eat at one sitting.  I didn't know how well it would save, so once I started getting full, I just ate out the good stuff (shrimp, glass noodles) and tossed the outer shell
• Mike got grilled steak on stir fried rice with Lona-Q sauce.  This sauce was kind of a cross between a teriyaki and a BBQ sauce.  I asked him about the steak and he said it was tender and good...didn't seem to have been cooked way ahead of time.   If Mike says the steak is good...this is good...he knows steak!

The restaurant is not a big space, but it has seating inside and out.  It is very casual, you order at the counter and they bring you your food.  

They do have alcoholic drinks, but we were excited to see Ski brand soda (which our sons turned us onto about 10 years ago).  I was happy because several of the Ski flavors were caffeine free.

It was a pretty quick meal and we enjoyed it.  It is a fun, interesting menu and I would recommend this place.
