Our favorite Chinese food in metro-atlanta. They have a separate gluten free menu and the food is just as good. We’ll be back!

Diner Review №7

I picked up a to go order on Friday afternoon at 4pm. The place was empty except for one table. I ordered chicken pad thai to go. When I got home and started eating it, I realized that I was eating chicken and shrimp pad thai. If I were allergic to shellfish that would've been a VERY bad thing. My pad thai was very good, but be careful and make sure that you are actually getting what you ordered.

This is by far the best Asian/Chinese food you will find anywhere around. I have been to so many and I drive an hour to eat here each time. They have an extensive gluten free menu that is delicious. I have been coming for over ten years and it’s been consistently amazing every time. The service is superb and consistent as well. You won’t regret eating here…..ever.

Love this place! This is the only Chinese/Asian restaurant that I have found that has an extensive Gluten Free menu. I have 2 sons and 1 has Celiac while the other has Gluten sensitivity. Every New Years we place a large order of various dishes both from the regular menu and Gluten Free menu.The food is very good, however it is a bit bland. They don't use MSG which I appreciate and I also like that they allow you to season to your individual preference. I like garlic but sometimes when I order a dish it is so overwhelming that I can't taste anything else. This restaurant does it just right for me. I sometimes have to add a bit of salt and/or soy sauce to my dish here but that's ok with me. I like salt very much but my husband is a little more sensitive to it, so we are both happy to personalize our dishes. Our sons love their GF menu which is quite extensive, so if you have gluten sensitivity or Celiac this piece is a dream come true! The only problem for me is the location, it's a bit of a drive but so worth it. We have eaten at the restaurant once or twice but mostly do
to-go orders. The atmosphere inside is very nice with a bar and nice decor not tacky like some Asian restaurants can be. I would eat here more often if they were closer to my home. It is anywhere from 30-45 minute drive depending on traffic, so not horrible but not very convenient either. Definitely worth the drive for us on special occasions. Highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious meal. They have a seperate Gluten Free menu with lots of options and gluten-free soy sauce. Serving sizes are large and well priced. Clean, inviting atmosphere. Incredible service. We ordered the cashew chicken and the tuna, salmon, and spice yellowtail rolls along with hot tea.

Diner Review №12

This restaurant is top notch for Asian dishes. The best part of eating here is their large selection of Gluten Free (Celiac approved) entrees. If you want Asian eats, good prices, excellent service, and best tastes then go here.

Lavendars is awesome! The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. Mr. Scott is the best! They also have a large gluten-free menu.

Diner Review №16

This is the only Thai you'll find in the area that's open before noon, and probably the most reasonably priced!

That said, I'm leaving five stars even though I personally found the two takeout dishes just "meh." The reason is simply and my own fault. I told them extra spicy. It was not, but I didn't specify "Thai spicy," so they naturally just assumed "extra spicy" for an average "American." I also didn't specify more authentic Thai flavor with the fish sauce and herbs and less sugar, and more (Thai) vegetables than meat, so they just delivered what most of their clientele certainly prefers, which is American "Thai."

Running a small business and pleasing everybody is super hard—I know this firsthand, so I'm more than happy to give them one more try.

Diner Review №17

I’ve visited Lavender Bistro multiple times despite consistently poor experiences, solely because my wife enjoys it. However, after today’s visit, I feel compelled to share my concerns. My wife and I sat at the bar to order food and martinis. I fully understand and respect the importance of verifying IDs when serving alcohol, but being asked to verify my identity three separate times felt less like a policy and more like harassment. To address any concerns, I even presented my veteran ID for additional verification, which should have sufficed. What made matters worse was the blatant disrespect from this one employee. If there were genuine issues with serving us, I would have appreciated open communication. Instead, I was left feeling targeted and unwelcome. This level of treatment is unacceptable. If Lavender Bistro cannot uphold basic standards of respect and professionalism, I’ll gladly spend my money at an establishment that values its customers.

Diner Review №18

I ordered pad thai to go. It tasted like i was made with oveecooked Ramen noodles without a flavor packet. The chicken was bland, the pad thai had no bean sprouts and they didn't give me silverware or napkins!

Diner Review №19

This is my favorite restaurant. I recently went on a first date and, as usual, was treated with great care. This will definitely be our regularly returning place.

Diner Review №20

Definitely one of the best Chinese restaurants around Snellville. I've eaten here with my parents, friends, and grandparents and its always amazing. The food and portions are just right.
You can't go wrong with some sesame chicken, the eggdrop soup is also great.

I would definitely stop here if you're visiting the area, the staff are super sweet and kind people.

Diner Review №21

Good food, good variety on menu, reasonably price. Try the discounted lunch menu. We will miss Ping, our waitress.

Diner Review №22

We’ve been coming here for years, and it’s always consistently amazing. This restaurant is a true hidden gem! It's never too long of a wait and our server is always so nice and knows exactly when to check in and is very mindful. We make it a point to come every month, and the service never disappoints—friendly, efficient, and they always make us feel welcome. The food is just as good now as it was the first time we came. We always try something new, and always leave happy. They have sushi boats (without asking) that we get everytime we order the sushi!! It's our go-to spot, and we can’t recommend it enough!

Diner Review №23

We always get the Shrimp Basil Fried Rice! Nice humble spot for a quick and affordable lunch!

Diner Review №24

Pretty place for a family dinner. Servers were nice and food is always fresh!

I FOUND A COCKROACH IN MY FRIED RICE!!! This is unacceptable and disgusting. Will never eat here again

Diner Review №31

Lavender Asian Bistro is my favorite restaurant! My husband has Celiac, and LAB’s gluten free menu has allowed us to enjoy some of my favorite dishes on our dates without worrying about him getting “glutened”. Everyone is very friendly, and I always have a good experience. Great lunch deals as well! :)

Diner Review №32

Best thing at Lavenders is their rice. Very good. The pas see ew was blah. Overall decent place for Asian food.

Diner Review №33

The service was very nice but my dishes seem to have changed over the course of time. I used to come here frequently, but I hadn’t been in over nine months and I was looking forward to ordering the Larb. It was served Cold this time and I remember it being a warm dish. I also ordered the spicy tuna roll. It was just OK.

Diner Review №34

Diner Review №35

My daughter and I are absolutely obsessed with Lavender! She loves to order the Bagel roll off the sushi menu and I love the Eggplant in garlic sauce from the vegetarian entrees. For appetizers we get the basil rolls. The best ever!!

Diner Review №36

Diner Review №37

Love this place! They have great options for people with gluten allergies and you can tell that they take it seriously. Very clean with a window into the kitchen that is also very clean. Very kind wait staff. Very stocked bar and sushi options. Good ambiance

Diner Review №41

Amazing sushi everytime.

Diner Review №42

Called asked about delivery. Told me will deliver and will be $3 for delivery. However after calling to place order I was told they won't deliever because of distance. They only go 5miles and my GPS says in 5.1miles. They wanted to take the long way to make it 6miles based upon GPS. Wasted my time.

Diner Review №43

This place is a hidden gem in the Lawrenceville area. I always have great service and good food here.

Diner Review №44

Diner Review №45

We love this place. One of the best family restaurants. The price of the food is worth every bite.

Diner Review №46

I don’t like giving low stars 🥺. I’m sure there are other dishes that may be better in taste but I ordered the shrimp Pad Thai and it’s lacking in taste compared to others I’ve tried around here. Just reporting my experience for my fellow review readers.

Diner Review №47

Waiter kind and covered all his "bases"! The food was great. Very fresh!

Not only was the food service in atmosphere great so were the prices

Diner Review №52

Amazing customer service, delicious drinks and food.

Diner Review №53

Food was fabulous and full of flavor. The aura and color scheme were adorable. The biggest issue was the waiter, Scott - literally he got into it with a customer for not tipping.

Diner Review №54

Updating - Dropped overall rating and service and atmosphere. Kept at 4 stars, as one bad experience should not impact a small business, but utterly disappointed.

Took my mom to lunch today, should have been warned when it took 3-5 minutes to be seated or even being acknowledged. We placed our order around 12:20 and did not get our order until 1 pm. I had meetings and we were left in the dark about delays. When asked they said had a big order in front of us. If something is happening that is out of the norm - let your customers know (like will take 40 minutes to get their food). Utterly disappointed in this visit, the service was just lacking. Do not thing, we will be visiting to ever sit in, will start exploring other options in the area now.

My wife and her co-workers had ordered food from here. They all raved about how good it was. We had family coming over for our daughters birthday. We decided to give Lavender a try. They definitely have a large variety of Chinese and Thai food to choose from along with sushi. If you're looking for an Asian restaurant this is going to be the place to go to with a large variety. We ended up ordering a tray of chicken lo mein, chicken penang, and two quarts of hot and sour soup.

The food was all very good. Coming from Chicago I appreciate restaurants not skimping on the meat and the vegetables, or portions. I was very pleased with the amount of food in the trays. This place definitely delivered on both. Service and food quality.

We ordered to trays as to go. The food was on time and super hot, I did not have to wait, and the service was very good. The gentleman even wished my daughter I'm very happy birthday.

Diner Review №55

This is the place I love to take my visiting family and my dear friends. It feels like a dining experience! It’s a small, quiet restaurant where you can sit; relax and enjoy delicious food and excellent service!

Diner Review №56

Best restaurant in Lawrenceville!

Diner Review №57

This is our little secret sushi place. Love all the sushi options plus Chinese and Thai dishes they offer. Highly recommend

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

This place is wonderful, been coming here for years. The ambience, the food, customer service, all of it. There are like 5 business in this parking lot, they can't control the parking situation... We always find parking here anyways. Look at how cute they did our valentine's sushi! Thank you to Lavender for all you guys do! 💜💜💜

Diner Review №60

Absolutely do not ever eat here. The waiter was beyond rude and impatient, and on top of that, he stole a tip out of me!!

Diner Review №61

Great lunch experience

Diner Review №62

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Just some feedback: When the driver gave me the bag, I placed on the counter and noticed that the bottom of the bag was very wet with the coconut curry sauce. It then ripped open and the containers fell on the counter. Glad they didn't fall on the floor. I was able to salvage most of the Masaman, but had to do a lot of cleanup.

Diner Review №65

Ate here while visiting family for the holidays bc it came up with gluten free options. It was amazing. We had gf calamari, tangerine beef, Kung Pao chicken, golden crispy prawn, and sesame chicken. ALL of it gf and amazing. It was so good, I almost cried. We have lots of gf restaurants in our home town, but this all tasted like Chinese food from my childhood. It was delicious and nostalgic and we will be stopping here whenever we are in town! The service was also fantastic and friendly. It is too soon to know if we got gluten, but if we did I'll update my review

Diner Review №66

Everything I had was exceptional. I got sushi and red curry. It was possibly the most fragrant and floral smelling red curry I've ever had. They were very kind as well. It's also not very expensive. Definitely recommend. And they drew a fish on the plate ☺️

Diner Review №67

I have been here quite a few times. The employees and atmosphere are wonderful. Great service every time. Most of the food is pretty good, but the sushi is not.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

Diner Review №70

My waiter was very attentive and friendly!! The food on the other hand was very bland and I honestly didn’t finish it :/ I probably ate a couple of pieces and wasn’t hungry anymore from the lack of taste! The egg drop soup was good though!!

Diner Review №71

Diner Review №72

Do not trust this place. I have gotten sick on multiple occasions from this location and thought I would try again, but have found that it was always the common denominator. Their cooked sushi is always cold, and they advised it is served cold. I have gotten it warm before... so is it just old food then? My stomach issues were just a coincidence. I would be terrified of parasites... Beware...

Diner Review №73

Deep fried sushi is always cold. The staff is dishonest, and serves old food. My friend had a horrible experience with them through uber... she was pregnant and they admitted that they did not remake her order that was delayed and her secondary order was just rebadged with the delayed order that was over an hour late through uber. I would not trust this establishment, because they are dishonest to save a buck and do not care about their customers health.

Diner Review №74

The staff here is completely dishonest... I am pregnant and placed a uber order for priority delivery. For the sake of understanding, the order was placed at 6:50pm. This was a sushi order, which contained seafood. The first delivery person had an emergency and they cancled the order so it was reassigned. My huisband then re-ordered the exact same rolls and a drink instead of an egg drop soup. Uber canceled my order and refunded what was placed at 6:57. The second order that was placed was at 7:55pm, which was when my original order was due for delivery. My second order was due for delivery, and showed up stone cold at 8:15pm. The tag was ripped off the bag, and I recieved an egg drop soup and the original tag on the soup for my name, not my husbands name. The literally took the sushi that had sat for over an hour (A COOKED SUSHI, DEEP FRIED) and pushed it to another customers order. This is a serious health issue, laziness, I do not, and will not ever trust or order from them again. I advise you to do the same. This shows a lot about their business and the lack of health concerns for their patrons.

Diner Review №75

Such a lovely restaurant and food is just amazing. Great sushi chef too. We had masaman chicken curry and sushi for husband's birthday and it was amazing.

Diner Review №76

This place is always my go to for something extraordinary. I love the fact that they treat every customer with the same enthusiasm as the one previous. The food is always hot and served in the order you would expect from a 3 or 4 course establishment. If you’re hungry and love seafood I suggest the hot pot it’s to die for.

Diner Review №77

Nice little hole in the wall spot. Blends into a little strip mall, but don't let appearances fool you. Once you walk inside it's very nice. I've tried lots of dishes and the food has never disappointed.

Diner Review №78

Nice quaint dinner option.

Diner Review №79

The food is surprisingly really good, with a good ambiance. Our server was polite.

Diner Review №80

Great food, service, and prices. We enjoy their sushi and atmosphere. Plenty of variety on the menus.

Diner Review №81

The food was good but the quality is very lacking the sauce was bland and the quantity of the rice was about the size of a small soup ladle. It’s only enough for 4 bites.. staff also ignore you and walk past you when you try to call them over to order more rice then make a face at you like you wasted their entire day by making them walk to your table. I will never be returning here especially after last time which will be my first and last time at this restaurant.

Diner Review №82

Say they are "Thai Cuisine" just Chinese.

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

General tso chicken is good. I also recommend the coconut soup

Diner Review №85

Diner Review №87

I recently had the most incredible dining experience with friends at this fantastic Asian restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and treated to a delightful evening packed with amazing flavors, particularly their curry dishes, and wallet-friendly drink options.

Let's start with the star of the show - their curry. The curry we ordered was an absolute masterpiece. Bursting with aromatic spices, rich flavors, and the perfect balance of heat, it was an experience for the taste buds like no other. Every spoonful was a journey of delightful flavors, leaving us craving more. Whether it was a vegetarian or meat-based curry, the ingredients were fresh, the portions generous, and the presentation impeccable.

To add to the wonderful experience, the affordability of the drinks was truly remarkable. It's not often that you come across a restaurant where you can enjoy high-quality and delicious beverages without breaking the bank. The affordable drink options made our evening even more enjoyable, allowing us to sip and savor refreshing concoctions while keeping the overall bill reasonable.

The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful as well, with cozy and inviting interiors that made us feel instantly comfortable. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and happily accommodated any modifications or requests we had regarding our orders.

Not only did we have a memorable culinary experience and enjoy the company of good friends, but we also appreciated the excellent value for our money. It's rare to find a restaurant that combines exceptional food, affordable drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere so impeccably.

In conclusion, if you're searching for a memorable dining experience with mouthwatering curry dishes and reasonably priced beverages, I enthusiastically recommend this Asian restaurant. Bring your friends along and get ready to indulge in a delightful culinary adventure that won't empty your wallet. I can't wait to return for another memorable meal!

Huge menu, me and my husband absolutely loved everything we tried. We didn’t expect much since we just stopped by for lunch but we were left more satisfied than ever!

Diner Review №94

Beautiful atmosphere (purple lighting). Great for date night or family night (maybe). Kind of have that a slight sports bar atmosphere Part club like atmosphere. It’s hard to describe. Limited parking. Delivery services will have to go inside to pickup. Clean on the inside. Dine in is available.

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

Enjoyed a wonderful meal with family.
Coconut soup was great, curry delightful, and Spicy Basil rice w/shrimp just the right spicy in my life.
Our server Ricky was one of the best. Polite, attentive and just all around pleasant. Thank you Ricky.

Diner Review №97

Our go to place for Thai... but everything is excellent! We've been going for years and will continue to go.

Diner Review №98

Their gluten free menu is very extensive and I didn't get sick! First time I've had truly gluten free sweet and sour chicken in a decade! Will be returning!

Diner Review №99

Diner Review №100

Ordered takeout from here. The General Tso's chicken was great, but only 2 wontons in an entire bowl of wonton soup? That's pathetic, it was 99% broth

Diner Review №101

Great food with amazing service.

Diner Review №102

Great place for a quick bite.

Diner Review №103

Restaurant on Scenic Hwy... check for times and days open.... With friends, I decided to try something new and went with Mushroom Chicken. To my surprise, it had some veggies that were not mentioned on the menu. Was good but was hoping for some different mushrooms. Spring rolls were good. Hint: With other restaurants, karate class, etc sometimes it maybe hard to get a parking spot. We go thru the gas to get out sometimes by the traffic light if Scenic Hwy is crowded. Restaurant has a bar and open for lunch and dinner.

Diner Review №104

My Seafood Hot Pot was really delicious and worth the price. And one of my companions really enjoyed her chicken with string beans dish. However, the dish my other friend got was not quite what she ordered, and neither was the one they replaced it with. The waitress's English wasn't great, which may have been the issue. We ate there at about 5pm in June (so it was still light outside). The restaurant atmosphere, however, was quite dark and a bit old fashioned.

Diner Review №105

Killer sushi! The Masaman curry was perfect. Will definitely be back!

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №107

The atmosphere was dark, customer service was horrible, Pad Thai was bland, and the Sweet and Sour Shrimp was didn’t come with vegetables, and it was so over cooked the shrimps were tough.

Diner Review №108

I love the food! Thai Fried Rice is delicious, so is their Sushi, rather the California Rolls.

Diner Review №109

We were here taking our turn caring for elderly parents and ordered delivery. Picky parents enjoyed the shrimp and scallops in garlic sauce(not spicy) and sesame chicken. It’s been hard getting them to eat but they devoured their food. Made us happy to see that. We enjoyed ours also. Honorable mention to the crab Rangoon!

Diner Review №110

I brought my family here from out of town instead of going to Sri Thai. My curry was basically peanut butter after I asked for Thai hot. My family liked it ok. The food is just mediocre. The chicken is really unnaturally soft not sure what’s happening there. It’s just mediocre I wish they would cook authentically instead of trying to tone everything down into Americanized mush. People who go out for Thai want Thai or else they would buy some knock off at the grocery and stay home. Please step it up guys the curries are kind of a joke to be honest with you.

Diner Review №111

All of the things we have ordered from Lavender have been excellent. Their sushi is good and relatively inexpensive (their roll combo is a great deal). Their Thai menu is delicious - I recommend their tom yum soup. For their Chinese menu, we love their seafood options - the chef really knows how to cook the seafood just right.

One of my favorite spots, consistently good, friendly staff, recommend!!

Diner Review №116

The sizzling rice soup was not sizzling and the rice was like soggy Rice Krispies. The sauce for my very tough Mongolian beef seemed watered down. The spring roll was good. The outsourced fortune cookie was the best part of the meal.

Diner Review №119

Cheers to Lavender Asian Bistro for having such an extensive Gluten-Free menu with all sorts of different Asian dishes including sushi 🍣! Hot tea paired with the sizzling rice soup was perfect for the cold windy day🍃As always, we tried the pad Thai & it was quite nice. The General Tso's chicken was tasty but could have been spicier. The service was fine & the food was hot & fresh, but it took a while (to be fair, it was Friday night). It gave us time to chat & enjoy the lavender in the bistro. Definitely recommend🪻💜

Diner Review №120

From placing my order to delivery, it only took 25 minutes! The portions are large and both dishes we ordered tasted great. I will definitely be ordering again!

Diner Review №121

I just changed my review because the last time I went there (Feb. 2023) I ended up walking out. We sat there for 20min and no one came to take our order, bring us water or anything. They are horribly understaffed now, and there might have only been one guy trying to serve the entire place? Don't go unless you expect to wait

Diner Review №122

Will go again

Diner Review №123

One of my favorite restaurants

Diner Review №124

This is our second time trying their curry options and again, both curries were incredibly bland and watery (almost as though they used coconut water rather than coconut milk?). Their panang is likely the worst-tasting curry I've ever had. We also never received the crab rangoon that we ordered and paid for. We tried their sushi in the past, which was very stale and rubbery. In short, this was our second and last disappointing $60 "dinner" from Lavender.

Diner Review №125

We stopped in for lunch on Sunday. We've been here several times, but weren't pleased with this visit. The ambience and restaurant is nice. It took 10 minutes for our server to acknowledge us and take it drink orders. He wasn't the friendliest and most attentive. We finally placed our order and my meal came out with chicken instead of shrimp. The server told me that's what I told him, but he was the one to say chicken. He brought me a new meal. It looked better than the first. The pad see-ew was missing some flavor and some of the shrimp had not been completely deveined. GROSS, chewing and suddenly feeling grit in my teeth. This happened in at least 3 shrimp. My mom had a similar experience with her shrimp pad thai. Beware when ordering shrimp.

Diner Review №126

Amazing menu. So much to choose from. They have many varieties of rolls and sushi. We ordered lo mein noodles, garlic egg plant curry and thai green curry and all were delicious. They mostly have the most common thai and Japanese items on the menu.

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

Diner Review №129

This place rocks! You get a lot of bang for your buck. Lots of food/ sushi for incredibly reasonable prices. I was surprised by the quick service and cozy ambience inside as well. Definitely would recommend and will be back!

Diner Review №130

Diner Review №131

For the past 10 years this place has been consistently 5 STAR. Over the past year, this place is 1-2 STARS at best. I've tried 5-6 times recently hoping each time that the poor quality food was a fluke. There must have been an ownership change. I'll never return. The General Tso dish I received today was horrible.

Diner Review №132

Worst tasting Thai food I've ever experienced. Ordered Thai Ginger with Beef and Thai Shrimp Fried rice from Uber eats. The beef dish was inedible because the meat was tough, rubbery and had NO Ginger flavor. The rice dish also was not tasty, no Thai flavor and of poor quality. This did not even deserve 1 star but I couldn't provide feedback without a star rating.
Food was so bad that I intentionally visited their website to make this review.......
I'm so disappointed because I was so in mood for Thai food...

Diner Review №137

This place used to be one of the best. I don't know what's happened to make it go downhill but I don't plan to eat here anymore. The green curry used to be amazing but the last two times I've ordered it it has been terrible. They also used to have the best spring rolls but now they are filled with flavorless goo.

Diner Review №138

My dad loves this place. It’s pretty good for what you get but pretty overpriced and the service isn’t that great. Good food though.

Diner Review №139

Best Asian food in Atlanta!!! It's been over a decade since I have been here and the food is better than I remember. So good I came back the next day. The crab ragoon is the best I have had. The shrimp lo mein was so fresh. If you eat clean and want good flavor, this is the spot!!

Diner Review №140

Great food and hot and portion size is decent enough to be full. Not bad also for weight lose substitute. Will be going again sooner than later.

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

I just couldn't give more than 3 stars for this place .... however the Sizzling Rice soup was good! The hot tea too. My favorite the Salmon Roe was a bit off colored as was the flavor of it. The Philly roll was good. The shrimp lo mein wasn't quite up to par. Maybe they were having an off day.....

Diner Review №143

Besides coming in to dine in throughout the year, every year we order Christmas or Christmas eve dinner from Lavender and it is our favorite tradition!!! Always delicious!! The crab rangoons are the bessstttt ❤️ thank you, Lavender!

Diner Review №149

We had a party of 6. Every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We're all foodies! I gave 5 stars because of the food understanding that many restaurants are struggling with staff. Yes, the food took a little while and there were only 2 wait staff and probably short staffed in food prep but when one of the appetizers was incorrect, they corrected it with no hassle. This was my first time back since the pandemic started. Glad to know the food is still delicious!

Diner Review №150

We have orderd carryout from here many times. I recently ordered Chicken Pad Thai but it was missing some of the ingredients. There were noodles, chicken, sauce and limes but no peanuts, bean sprout, egg or scallions as mentioned in the description of the dish.

Diner Review №151

I stopped by for lunch and grabbed a few sushi rolls. Amazing. Even better prices. I have had their Chinese food in the past and loved it, but I am impressed at how good the rest of items were. Definitely will be back!

Diner Review №152

This used to be our standby for Thai and Chinese, where thevfood was reliably wonderful. They must have changed chefs or altered ingredients. My larb was 70% Onion. The spicy fried rice bereft of veggies and meat. Luckily my shrimp dish still had plump, fresh shrimp, but the walnuts were burned. Plus, the waiter made more than one error...unfortunately this isn't the first time.

I used GrubHub. I had chicken corn velvet soup and Tangerine Beef made extra spicy (medium). Excellent 👍. I've been going in person for years,and I Always had a great time, wine and cocktails are great! Prices are reasonable.The wait staff are attentive and accommodating, as I like booths better than a table. I will be returning in person soon.😋😋😋👍

For an early ladies lunch out for two gluten free guests Lavender Asian Bistro had a separate large gluten free menu. From chicken coconut soup to the Kung Poa chicken it was delicious. Great ambiance and seating was perfect. This is family owned and operated and a must try for my gluten free folks out there.

I have always received great service and perfect food from here. They do a great job with a simple and refined lunch menu that I always find something new on.

Diner Review №163

Been here three times and won’t come back. My family was really hoping it would work out because I have celiac and was told this place was great preparing gluten free meals. First time I did not get sick. Second time got sick, but figured something just went wrong and decided we could give it another try. Went there tonight and got sick again. Unfortunate because they do seem to have a large menu. Might be good for people with no dietary restrictions.

Not good

Diner Review №167

I’m sad to say after being a loyal customer for almost 10 years, tonight’s dinner was our last supper from Lavender. So disappointed! Higher prices and LESS food! A lot has changed here over the years and now I’m really starting to see it😒

Diner Review №168

Not sure about the other food here but this is the worst Chinese food I've ever had. It's like they are repurposing the proteins from different dishes. It wasn't fresh at all.

Diner Review №169

Great food, welcoming staff, regularly good atmosphere.

Diner Review №170

Those late-night dates or nights with a lot going on always led us to Lavender Asian Bistro, the roll is the best!

Diner Review №171

Excellent service. We love this place. The staff are very friendly and the food is delicious.

Diner Review №172

I had heard about Lavender Asian Bistro for a while but never had the chance to try it out. Tonight, was the big night as we we're celebrating our kid’s graduation. Regardless it was probably the best Asian food I've tried in Lawrenceville and the servers were very friendly!

The food was cold and service was bad.

Diner Review №175

We are usually very pleased when we eat here, but the past couple of times everything hasn't been up to the usual standard. We ordered calamari, which is usually really good. This time we immediately noticed a strong fishy odor and taste which indicates it wasn't fresh. Also the ginger dressing had a strange taste the last couple of times we visited. Otherwise, the soup was really good as was the sushi. We'll give them benefit of the doubt that this slump in quality was only temporary and hope for a better experience next time.

Interesting this Meme Coco has never experienced a good restaurant ever in his or her life. All his or her review turned out to be bad. What a coincidence.

Diner Review №177

Came last week had great experience from the older guy. Food was just OK but service made the difference. Today, food not so good and the Young girl server made sure I never wanted to come back. Terrible personality

Diner Review №178

Service and food good. Coconut chicken soup delicious with a hint of spicy 😋. Lemon drop and pad Thai good. Large selection of sushi, must try! Enjoy 🙂

Fodd was very good. Best sweet and sour I have had! Not super crowded, good menu including sushi. Will definately return!

Diner Review №182

The food was very bland. Ordered about $200 worth of food and almost everything lacked flavor. The food also took over an hour to arrive and only one of our meals came during that time, still had to wait longer for our main dishes.

There are much better Asian restaurants in the area. Go to those.

Food taste good but when I was sick with Covid & left my soup out...I had it delivered & would not bring it back out to my house. Got into it big time with rep on the phone. Advised I have been coming there for years & they never have to worry about me again

Diner Review №189

Food was excellent and priced well and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Diner Review №190

Pointed to the menu and ordered spring rolls. Never got them. Asked if they had hot tea just like I always do in Chinese restaurants and they charge me three dollars for a teabag and hot water. Didn’t get the soup with my lunch but just got one spring roll. I would make sure if you go to this restaurant that you make sure the waiter and waitress are paying attention to you. I won’t be going back ever again. Sad because they actually have pretty good food

Diner Review №191

The menu choices are terrific, including vegan. They're able to deliver for a reasonable price.

Diner Review №192

I had the Crunch Dragon Roll sushi (without eel) it was filling & really good even my picky daughter ate some! Plus the price of it was decent 👌🏾. My first time coming here and I will be back!

Good atmosphere and the food was good. I left one star off because it took a long time for the food to be served. Maybe short-staffed?

The red and green curry was good. Enjoyed the Sushi. But they are not friendly. Been twice, no smiling and very matter of fact. But I will go again!

Diner Review №199

Never had sushi that didn’t have any flavor. Hot and sour soup was ok. Lo Mein was decent.
