Lava Room 116 West Mobile Street, Florence, AL 35630

"So good! Fresh and to order. If you are craving a dessert, you can't go wrong here. And everyone is so friendly! Also my food allergies, they are so good to accommodate those. Even checking things I didn't think of. Very good!! Totally recommend!"

"The best food in town. The ramen, the bao, the bahn mi, the egg rolls, everything we've tried has been phenomenal! And the DESSERTS! We would come just for a dessert. The berry bao is so so good! But the kakigori! OMG! Absolutely divine! The service is great, atmosphere is great, the music is really great! And it's even affordable! I literally usually spend more at most fast food places! (Which has gotten to me choose Lava Room more often because it's so much better!) Also sodas and tea are free with your food with free refills. What? I have gone right at 4 when they open and around 6 and neither was too busy. The bar crowd doesn't really get in till a bit later and there's love music shows later too. I might go one night for the karaoke! Also I proposed to my girlfriend at the Lava Room and the bartender heard me say "she said yes" and repeated it louder and everyone cheered for us! Which is even nicer when I mention we're queer and this is a very queer inclusive space with pride flags behind the bar. It feels like all are welcome here! I haven't had a thing I didn't love. Go today! You'll be back, trust me!"

"Very laid back, retro yet moden vibe. The food was delicious & drinks unique and fun. Will certainly be back. We went on a Monday after work & cocktails were 1/2 price. Not many people there when we arrived but the staff is very friendly & interesting. I had the BLT bao bun & Koren bbq egg rolls."

"The food was different. It was my first time trying Raumen. The Nachos were incredible! I would go back and not share them next time. The chips tasted homemade, they were a thick, crunchy chip. The food was okay, it wasn't my favorite. I would say, try it. The cream cheese dessert was interesting. ... Overall, I'm giving this place 4 stars. It was different. I don't think it's for me. The person I went with loved it. The place had a hipster vibe. They did an incredible job with the building. I might go back and try something else."

"Really good, fun food! Pork in the traditional bao and banh mi was flavorful, chewy but tender, and plentiful. Veggies in both tasted fresh. The bao bun is sooo good. Wonton chips on the side of the sandwich are creative and delicious (especially with the dipping sauce). Sandwich was just a little dry but putting some of the sweet chili sauce for the wonton chips on it helped. Restaurant staff were very abrupt/curt which may be due to how loud it was in the building during my encounter so would wager that the service is normally better. Atmosphere is cool but a bit loud & dark for my tastes. For folks that like live music and more of a club-y vibe, it's probably great."
