Encore Asian Bistro (Encore Cafe)

"Originally went to downtown Lawrence to try a different restaurant though they were a little too crowed. Saw this place while walking and decided to give it a shot based off the 4.5 star rating. Waited for about 25-30 min for a table for 2, this was around 8pm and had extremely prompt service once seated. Our host was more than pleasant with a great energy and personality, will seek them again. The food was the best Chinese I’ve had in Lawrence and really out of all my fav spots."

"I’ve been wanting to go here due to how beautiful the window looked with its plants and statues. The interior design is stunning and our food didn’t take long at all. The presentation and taste of the passion fruit green tea as well as the general TAO’s chicken with fried rice was great! Our server was sweet and I even got an adorable, reusable, to go cup for my drink. Will one of my favorite Asian restaurants in Lawrence so far. Definitely plan to go again and hopefully try the option of adding popping pearls in my tea!"

"Excellent food and service! Me and my friend were confused about what to order, but the lady server gave us a fantastic selection of their restaurant. I loved the quality of the food. The Interior was also throwing Asian vibes there."

"First time visiting. Inviting atmosphere. Bathrooms were clean with a little twist. There is actually a clear glass window between the men’s and women’s bathroom where you wash your hand. So no you didn’t have too much to drink. That’s actually6 a person of the opposite sex looking at your too. The drinks were artistic and tasted good. The food was good. Not fantastic but good. As you can see from the pictures we had a variety of dishes. Everyone at the table was pleases."

"I recently had a delightful dining experience at Encore Asian Bistro, conveniently situated on Massachusetts street. The restaurant's location might require street meter parking, but once you step inside, you'll find yourself in a clean, contemporary, and minimalistic ambiance that sets the stage for a pleasant meal. One of the highlights of Encore Asian Bistro is its peaceful atmosphere, courtesy of the high ceilings that keep the noise level comfortably low. The attentive and speedy service further adds to the overall positive experience. The menu at restaurant boasts a selection of Asian dishes, with a particular emphasis on Chinese food influences. While we thoroughly enjoyed the various sauces served with the dishes, we did find the overall taste a tad bland. However, the presentation of the food was simple yet elegant. One aspect that definitely won us over was the generous portion sizes. You'll leave the restaurant feeling fully satisfied and perhaps with some leftovers to enjoy later. On the beverage front, the drinks were on the sweeter side with lower alcohol content, which could be perfect for those looking for milder options. Moreover, the prices at Encore Asian Bistro are surprisingly reasonable, especially considering the ample amount of food served. It's a great bang for your buck, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious diners."
