Encore Asian Bistro (Encore Cafe)

I absolutely LOVE this place! I’ve been going here since high school over 15 years ago. If the age of the restaurant doesn’t draw you in, check out their menu and try it. It’s called encore for a reason! My favorite dish is the vegetarian General Tsos and today I tried their lunch bowl with the vegetarian Szechwan beef. It was amazing! They have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options as well as classics. Plus they have alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. There’s literally something for everyone. Also shout out to all the plants and decor! ✨🤍🫶🏽

My partner and I have both only been to LK a couple times within the last decade, came here because good reviews. And we not disappointed! Funny enough we both realized the second we pulled up that we'd BOTH been here once before, and separately at that haha. Delicious food (VEGAN friendly) Nice environment to enjoy a meal and chat or quick service when you're on a time crunch (like we were before a concert!) Mao pelao tofu and Vegetarian General Sao Chick'n and Blueberry Mule yum!!!

I ordered to go. I am pescatarian and ordered the Vegetarian General Tso’s chicken. It was so delicious and I had been craving something like this for a long time and Encore perfected it. After the first bite I was so happy! I will definitely be ordering here again.

This is a go to for our family when we are visiting Lawrence. Food is great, always hot, and the staff are incredibly friendly. Highly recommend.

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!
