Red Pepper has some of the best Chinese food in Lawrence. They have been struggling lately because…read moreof road construction in front of their establishment but they will rebound. The location is close to busy downtown but there is always plenty of parking and the restaurant is easy accessible. There are many items on the menu and the servers are always willing to help you. This place gets very busy and that is a good sign for a restaurant. Prices are very reasonable and within range of similar restaurants in this community. Servers are so nice and kind. They helped me get my elderly friend to her car when our hands were full. Highly recommended!

I was told that Red Pepper Chinese Restaurant was moved to the current location. It terms of size,…read morethe restaurant is on the medium scale. I like the outside seating availability and the two inside dining areas. Monday night was not too busy. Some dishes were better than others. The braised beef spicy noodle soup, mapo tofu, and stir fried eggplants were good and the others were okay. Some bok choy or veggies in the soup would have been nice. Their soups only have a little bit of bean sprouts. It's a good Chinese restaurant in Lawrence, KS. It doesn't quite have the extra "wow" factor for me to yield the last star though.

Encore was busy, but we got in and had plenty of time to…read morecheck out the menu and eat before heading to the men's KU vs AZ basketball game. **What an amazing game** Encore's menu is so different and we enjoyed reviewing to make our selection. We started with the variety from the Appetizer Sampler which was our easy choice. We struggled to decide on the main course choice due to all the interesting choices. We settled on the Bird's Nest because of the proteins included and the change of pace to have pan-fried Canton noodles. Overall it was a good meal. We probably needed more flavor than the Birds Nest provided, but we enjoyed having the pan-fried Canton noodles. Due to the variety of the menu, I can see us going

While I have been enjoying Jade Garden for years for lunch, I prefer full table service at dinner…read moreand a more relaxed atmosphere. That is now available next door at the connected Jade Bar restaurant. Jade Bar not only provides full service, but also has a full bar, including Woodbridge wines by the bottle or glass. The table service is excellent and very helpful. They have two menus: the regular menu and the authentic Chinese menu. Since the server is so helpful with selections, it is best to request both menus. We ordered the clam soup, which is available only on the authentic menu. We expected soup containing canned clams. We were pleased to receive a large bowl of soup, enough for two or more to share, containing fresh clams in the shells. The menus are the same as in Jade Garden, but the choices are made much easier by the table service. In addition, you do not pay until you are done, while in Jade Garden, you are expected to pay when you order at the counter. For dinner, the atmosphere in the Jade Bar is much better than in Jade Garden. Jade Bar also contains separate rooms for Karaoke, if you are into that. We are not, but we looked into one of those rooms. It was very nicely equipped and comfortable with large couches.

We most often would get The Crazy Scientist Roll. But lately we have been trying some of the entries on the large Chinese menus, including the authentic menu. We have been surprised by how good some of them are. The Fish with Chili Flakes on the authentic menu is a winner, as are the Singapore Style Rice Noodles and the Tofu and Fish in Spicy Sauce. We also very much like the Steamed Shrimp Dumplings as appetizers. If you have not been happy with their food in the past, I suggest that you give them another try. Since their menus now are so large, it does take some experimenting to find the dishes you will like best. We are now happy we have made the effort.

Three Bowl Restaurant is a relatively newcomer to the Lawrence food scene, but it's been here for…read moreawhile and the story is complicated. More about that in a bit. First off, it's attached to South end of the Asian grocer F-Mart, what I personally think is a pretty remarkable store for this town and one I value dearly. They're serving up a lot of food choices you'd normally need to head to parts of Kansas City to obtain. You can even pass from the restaurant right into the grocery. Convenient. What I know about Three Bowl: it opened right before the pandemic first hit in early 2020 and we began to hear about some spectacular versions of Szechuan hot pot being served. We had plans to dine with a party of 6, and a few days before we got the chance, everything began to shut down, particularly restaurants. Thank you, Covid-19. Fast forward. For all I know its been shuttered since, but on a trip to F-Mart last week someone at checkout said they were reopening for carryout. In place of hot pot, the tables, all with heating elements (what must have been a very pricey investment), sit unattended with a few diners interspersed around the room waiting for carryout on our first visit. We ordered Singapore Fried Rice Noodles, Combination Vermicelli and Vegetable Fried Buns. The portions are enormous. One entrée would have easily filled us both. A bit surprisingly, since the menu has clearly been toned down and simplified for carryout, the food was spot on, seasoned perfectly, and although the person who waited on us was apologetic ("sorry, we're running behind, slammed!", possibly a whole 5 minutes late from the time the Menufy app said. No big deal. I almost laughed. So here's the thing: solid, decent, though pretty regular choices from the online menu for this style of fare, but there are some real plans here for when we can all sit down in restaurants inside again. Right now they've chosen that's not a good idea based on the space, and I'm totally OK with that. I'll await the return of the hot pot, and can't wait to experience that. Meanwhile, the city has a good new choice for carryout or delivery (DoorDash) and if you're a fan of this kind of food, no reason to not strongly recommend it. I hoping for the best for them, and in the meantime, plenty of leftovers tomorrow. Oh, and those vegetable buns were something else! If you come: carryout or delivery only as of the date of this review. Credit cards accepted. Very limited parking in the lot shared with the grocery, maybe 6 stalls tops. All filled on our visit, but street parking available. Open Tuesday through Sunday 4:00 - 9:00 p.m.
