Wonderful place great food and great service, like the outdoor seating. The last time we ate there 2 off us ended up with diarrhea, we think it was the Brussels Sprouts.

Cool, relaxing vibe, service was great, food came quickly and tasted terrific. The Springs rolls and crab Rangoon were nice starters, great flavors. Pad Thai noodles with the beef, chicken, and shrimp was excellent, just the right spiciness. The pineapple chicken was packed full of pineapple and great flavors. Portion sizes were good. The background music was even pleasant and not too loud like many establishments. Great choice while we were back in town!

I recently did a pickup from Encore in Lawrence, KS, and ordered the Pad Thai w/ Chicken that was delicious.

The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the sauce had a great balance of sweet, spice (light) and savory flavors. The chicken was tender for the most part and well-seasoned, making each bite enjoyable.

The pickup process was smooth and efficient. My order was ready on time, and the staff was friendly and courteous when I arrived.

Spent under $20.

I highly recommend Encore. They came highly recommended from my daughter’s college roommate.

They do have a cotton candy machine inside, $4.

Parking: Was able to park on the street. Typical Lawrence street parking. Not sure if they had a parking lot behind restaurant.

I don't leave a whole lot of reviews, but man, Chee was the best server I have ever had. He was considerate in every way and even when he was sat with a 10-12 person table, still made the effort to make a special night for my fiance and I. The windowed bathroom situation is a tad weird, and I don't know if I'm here for the strange or not yet.

Dietary restrictions: They are willing to work with you on what you need. I have an all nut allergy and I felt safe.

By far the best Asian food you will find in Lawrence!! I absolutely LOVE this place!! They have a great variety of vegetarian and non vegetarian options and I have yet to find anything I don’t like, and I’ve tried most things on the menu!?? I had to give everything five stars but the service because its 50/50 if they double check your to-go order to ensure they are correct.

Vegetarian options: They have a great vegetarian menu and most dishes can be made vegetarian as well!

One of my favorite locations downtown, the food here never disappoints! The staff is always helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and interesting. They even offer fruit tea! (I like strawberry)

We travel 40 minites from Eastern South KC to go to lunch or dinner here. Great servers also.

We like the Beef Teriyaki bamboo bowl, most of all. They have remodeled in a great positive way.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs are very accessible here. You must experience the unusual Restrooms, also accessible since 2007.
