This is a great place for some Asian cuisine! My absolute favorite is the stir fry green beans and is what I get every time. Another great dish, an appetizer, Szechwan Won Tons. My personal recommendations besides the previous 2 are; Pad Thai, Kung Po Chicken, Rice in the Bamboo Pot - Beef Teriyaki, Wonton Soup and steamed vegetables. My favorite cocktail is the "Lush". It's nicely decorated with lovely plants in the front windows which adds to the charm. All of the staff is nice and friendly. The prices are reasonable. Sometimes when they are crowded the service is a little slow but overall I highly recommend this nice spot in Lawrence Kansas. A little side note they have about 20 different bubble teas, milk and fruit.

Best chinese food in lawrence, even in Kansas in general! I always get the mongolian beef & it is to die for. The Thai Style Tong Yum Soup was delicious and perfect for a chilly rainy day.

I come here often with my boyfriend and we absolutely love it. The staff is very welcoming and efficient when seating us, taking our order and checking in on us. The food NEVER misses and it always so tasty ( not to mention it's very consistent in flavor! ) and lastly the vibe in the restaurant is always great! Whether it's date night or take out we always feel welcomed. Love coming here!

Like many Asian restaurants in Lawrence, Encore tries to cover the map. Almost everything is delectable, including the best Kung Po in town. Pleasant atmosphere.

A delicious Asian restaurant on Mass street! I can't believe it took me this long to try Encore. I have heard nothing but great things from friends, so I finally went there to try it a few weeks back. I ordered the chow mein with beef which was amazing! My mom order the Thai Mango Chicken which was very flavorful. In addition, we also shared a jug of Strawberry Basil Soju that was so good! That was my first time having a special-made soju like that and I definitely wanted to order a second. The jug was about 2 healthy sized servings each. Soju did take a long time to come out unfortunately. Same time as our food even though we ordered it early. Plenty of low tables and booths as well as bar seating. Big windows out front that showed the bustle of Mass St. well. I'll be back!

The manager is AWFUL. Hate to leave this review because I have heard so many good things about this place - BUT - our waitress was amazing, food was ok but the manager was AWFUL. The way he spoke to the employees in front of customers was disrespectful and rude. He was condescending and honestly, embarrassing. Will absolutely not be returning, will never recommend it and caution any young people from seeking employment there.
