We love checking out new places (for us). 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

Our server was great! He did a really good job and was attentive but not overbearing. A great waiter balance. The food was delicious as always.

I work downtown and have been wanting to try Kobi-Q but for some reason hadn't until yesterday. I…read moretotally wish I had sooner. It s in a cool old building, there's a vault door that leads to the kitchen, and a large skylight over the bar and dining area with hanging plants. The Korean fried chicken is so good, I loved the dry rubbed ones the best, might actually be on the list of best fried chicken I have had. The Crab Rangoon was absolutely fantastic as well. I had Spicy BBQ Pork & Rice Cakes for my entree and asked for it to be extra spicy, a menu option, but found it rather bland, it lacked any of big bold character that I usually associate with Korean, however my experience with Korean food is rather limited especially compared to other Asian cuisines so I'll be reserving judgement on that dish. Overall great place to be, the service was top notch, and those Crab Rangoon and KFC wings were amongst the finest examples I have had of those items. This is on my list of restaurants to drag my wife to.

Better than expected!…read more There was only 1 server working that day, but service was still relatively fast. We came in for lunch and ordered the bibimbop with spicy pork, hot tea, and spicy tofu soup. The bibimbop with spicy pork was flavorful and hearty. The spicy tofu soup came hot, was filling and came with a side of rice. The hot tea was comforting and soothing on the stomach, but scalding when first served. Nice interior with a skylight and greenery. There was an older movie playing on the side that was entertaining. Prices are on the higher end for the dishes offered, but with the small Asian population in the area it's understandable and the flavors were good. Would recommmend.

They get their ingredients locally when they can; so giving back to the community and fresh taste. The prices are extremely reasonable. I know that's a bit ambiguous but just check the menu ahead of time if it's a concern. They take their spice seriously so if you are a "white boy spice" enthusiast I wouldn't go above medium heat.

First off, location is immaculate. Mass is always an amazing spot for a restaurant. The decor and…read moreatmosphere is flawless. Quiet, cozy, small place. The service is great, no complaints. Wait times are never unreasonable. The menu is where it really shines. The overall value of the menu is amazing, with generous portions for reasonable prices. Lots of vegan options. Sizable and varied menu without straying too far (ex, Cheesecake Factory). The drink menu is also very good. Tried Vietnamese coffee for the first time here and enjoyed it. Would highly recommend for an American to try a less American cuisine. I personally enjoyed my meal. I suffer from the American palette so I probably didn't enjoy it as much as others, but even I can enjoy a good bowl of noodles. 9/10, always room for improvement but a very solid spot.

The fried rice was also delicious and a great portion size. One thing that really stood out was the amount of seating.

They've done an excellent job keeping the old aesthetic while making it still look fresh and new. The restaurant was so cool but oddly not one other patron in the space. My partners second visit and her second time with a fairly empty restaurant. I guess what I'm trying to say is it's an excellent space but possibly more of a to go spot despite the beautiful restaurant space. The menu is fairly trim but has flavors of east Asia and south eastern Asia. So pho, Chinese and I believe they had some Thai. The food was very good, our egg roll was perfectly crispy and my entree Mongolian beef was delicious. Lots and lots of veggies which is a great surprise for Chinese dishes. I'll definitely be back to try the beef and broccoli soon!

Ananya was incredible and very attentive to us. She answered all of our menu questions with ease and exuberance. We will for sure ask for her when we come back, which will no doubt be very soon.

The Vietnamese coffee is INSANE (in the best way) like strong, sweet, life-altering, I think about it later kind of good. I always get the vermicelli bowl and it's massive.

Also their online ordering is stupid easy, which I appreciate when I'm already mentally committed to eating everything in sight. Anyway, 10/10 worth the drive to Lee's Summit. I'm already planning my next trip

An automatic 18% gratuity was added to the bill without any notice, and we were only a party of three. There were no signs indicating this policy, and no one mentioned it before or during payment. On top of that, when I paid with my credit card, I was still given a receipt prompting me to "add a tip" and sign, which means I could have easily tipped twice if I hadn't caught it. It felt misleading, and it took away from an otherwise good lunch experience. Great food, but tipping practice needs more transparency.
