Okay we decided we wanted some great Food tonight for dinner and decided to go here. Absolute let DOWN. The food lacked in flavor completely, but they charge you for sauces.... I couldn't even finish my food because it was so disappointing. It was supposed to be vegetables and chicken and shrimp but there were nearly any veggies, specifically when I asked for extra veggies. The soup came with udon noodles when on the menu it said rice noodles. We also ordered a shrimp wonton soup and we were served vegetable dumplings because these contained absolutely no shrimp whatsoever. There are other places you should look before deciding to come here. They served a egg roll cold. I am honestly upset but how much money was spent at this place. They also did not do separate checks which was annoying. read more

Wow! Very tasty. Are you kidding me what a gem. The folks are nice the cooks are great the atmosphere needs a little work but I still give at 5 because it's so tasty. The sushi was also really good. Had the Kung Pao Shrimp, Pork with tofu and squid salad. And the sushi and tuna in the picture. Ate here two nights. Out of control. read more

Lavender Cafe - Sushi and Tuna Tataki - Taiwanese Near Me - Morgantown, West Virginia

This was my first experience dining in here at Lavender Cafe. I had zero issues with my experience! Service was quick, staff was friendly, food came out quick (both appetizers and main meals), and our drinks remained full! The restaurant was reasonably busy too. I was with my partner for dinner, collectively we had: general Tso's, orange chicken, fried rice, crab Rangoon, and pork steamed dumplings. The chicken was the best orange and general Tso's I have had in Morgantown! Everything was delicious down to the crab Rangoon! We were beyond pleased with our visit! read more

Lavender Cafe - Orange chicken and fried rich - Taiwanese Near Me - Morgantown, West Virginia

This place makes your food fresh, the service is always great, and food taste yummy. Their bubble tea is also great. There is a room in the back for a larger group seating, so if you want to have a party, you can. I think it fits at least 15-20 though. Decorations are little outdated, but I don't have anything bad about this place. I come back here for some authentic Chinese food. This is located on the upper part of high street though, there is a free parking in the back! Which is always a plus in Morgantown. read more

Really disappointed. Teriyaki chicken didn't taste like teriyaki, but like chicken that had bland canned chicken gravy poured on it. No teriyaki flavor. The general tso chicken had more breading than chicken. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this one was so disappointing. I figured with it being a little pricey I would get good quality, but this was no where near worth the money. read more

Lavender Cafe - Teriyaki chicken. It had no teriyaki flavor. It tasted like canned chicken gravy. I just can't believe I spent money on this. Ugh. - Taiwanese Near Me - Morgantown, West Virginia

I had to run down to Morgantown with honey to pick up a few things and decided to eat here based on some reviews we read. Food did not impress: lukewarm, not much flavor and the claypot squid portion was lacking to say the least. Example here, the squid was about $15, the amount in the pot may have been enough to feed half a person. When asked why there was so little they claimed that is one serving size and quickly left before we could say anything else. At the end, the total bill was nearly $60 and we left unsatisfied, hangry, and out $60 and nothing to really show for what we paid. read more

I had high hopes for this place because there isn't many Asian restaurants in WV, but this didn't quite meet my expectations. I had the beef noodle soup and crispy/spicy chicken. The noodle soup was bland. I liked the chicken but it would've been better with bigger cuts of chicken. Great costumer service though! read more

What the heck people. I think this was my first Yelp letdown. I got mapo tofu, which was slightly disappointing. I expected it to have ground meat, like it usually does, but theirs does not. It came with mushrooms and peas and carrots (probably from a frozen bag). Taste wasn't too bad though. I thought it actually tasted better the next day as leftovers. The rest of the menu was eh. I didn't see that many things that were incredibly appetizing or if they were, they were expensive ($15/plate for a Taiwanese cafe?! No.). I also got my usual milk tea with tapioca. Definitely one of THE WORST bubble teas I've had in my life. Tea was incredibly watery. The balls weren't soaked in syrup, so they were bland and tough. Staff was nice, though?? read more

I love lavender cafe. A ton of flavor in a cute little location. The lavender milk tea is amazing. I love getting the Morgantown sushi roll- I've never had anything like it and it is delicious. I usually get the Taiwanese chunk chicken in a hot pot as my entree (shareable) and it never disappoints. Check them out! Don't be afraid of the beechurst location. read more

We haven't had food from here in about a year and we were very disappointed. We ordered sushi, soup, an app and a hot meal for pick up. The sushi was warm because it was placed on the bottom of the bag with all the warm food on top. I ordered the triple delight which was supposed to have jumbo shrimp but it was tiny shrimp. The food was luke warm. When my husband went to pick it up he was told that the food wasn't ready, why was the cold food warm and hot food luke warm. None of the staff were wearing masks, not even the sushi chef. We have been at other food establishment recently and all staff were wearing masks. read more

I came to Morgantown to visit a friend and we got delivery from here. We ordered the volcano roll, general tso chicken and taiwanese rice cake. The volcano roll was really disappointing, the rice was a bit too sticky and the rolls were so big, they were essentially burritos. My friend regrets cheating on Volcano's volcano roll. The general tso was a little too sour for my taste, and I've definitely have had better. The portions were small, but expect for a lunch special. We ordered the taiwanese rice cakes, but we received taiwanese rice noodles instead. Aside from the mix up, this dish was decent. Nothing too special, but not bad. Bubble tea was OK. Their taro and ginger milk tea was good, and I like that they have soy substitutes. I probably wouldn't come back any time soon, but if I lived around the area I would give them another shot. Next time, I'd probably order some more authentic taiwanese dishes though. read more

Best Asian fusion in Morgantown!! So many vegetarian options! Very friendly and fast staff. 10/10 worth the trip!!

I love this place! It is a bit expensive but absolutely worth it if you want good Chinese food. The fried rice and the crab Rangoons were great. Dumplings are also amazing. I have only ordered takeout but every time I get it I'm never disappointed. read more

Great food and really quick delivery. We got sesame chicken, sweet n sour chicken, pork dumplings, sushi roll, and Thai milk tea with the tapioca pearls. All of it was super good, we'll definitely be getting food from here again. read more

Would have given a zero star if I could secondary to the service. The sushi was really good, I got the WVU roll. The general Tso on the other hand was disgusting! More breading than chicken, sauce was full of red pepper flakes with no flavor. No one checked on me the entire time, had my plate pushed to the side with one bite taken out of it for 20 mins then they ask me if I'd like a box. I said no and explained why I didn't eat it, she said it's supposed to be spicy, I told her it isn't spicy, it's nasty. She said ok and came back with the check with the general Tso on it. Never offered to make me something else in exchange for it or for it to be removed from my bill. read more

Ordered for delivery: --6 Pieces Deep Fried Crab Rangoons: Very tasty! Best part of the order, by far. Rangoons were crispy, filling had a lovely flavor, and the sauce was nicely balanced. --Shrimp Spring Roll: I was not impressed; only took one bite. Flavor is almost nonexistent, and something stringy inside put me off having any more. Outside was not very crunchy. I'm glad I only ordered one, and they were so inexpensive. --Miso Soup: Flavor was decent, but I feel it could use a bit more tofu compared to normal miso. --6 Pieces Salmon Roll: least favorite part of the order. Sushi rice was VERY dry, and the fish was not fresh - a bit discolored, more like grocery store quality than restaurant quality. I don't think I'll get sick by any means, but I won't be ordering sushi from here again. Food arrived in less than half the time estimated, which was pretty nice. The sushi was packaged in the same bag as all of the hot food, which warmed it up a bit more than I would have liked. Otherwise not bad! Next time I order I'll probably aim for only cooked foods like noodles and rice, but I will more than likely order again. read more

Ordered takeout on Valentine's Day (romantic, I know). This place caught my and my girlfriend's attention a long time ago, but we just never got around to checking it out. Anyway, I'm glad we finally did! We were indecisive as always, so we ordered a bunch of smaller items rather than one or two entrees. We opted for the deep fried crab rangoons, Taiwanese salt & pepper chicken, scallion pancake with egg, marinated beef, and chicken corn soup. The crab rangoons were the best I had ever had, as they were stuffed fuller than what I'm used to. The next best item was probably the corn soup. It had such an intense corn flavor and large chunks of chicken. The salt & pepper chicken was also really good with its sauce. We watched a movie in bed and ate the little pieces of chicken like it was popcorn haha. The scallion pancake and marinated beef weren't bad but forgettable. We're not from the area so we found the nearby parking to be a little sketch. This leads me to believe we made the right decision to take out. Overall we were really pleased with our order. We got quite a bit of yummy food for $30. We'll definitely be back again to try some entrees. read more

Let's add another place to the list "Restaurants I wish we would've had when I lived in Morgantown". I remember this being some beat up take out Chinese place when I was in school so when my friend told me Lavender Cafe had taken it's place, I wasn't expecting that much. Boy, was I wrong. It's very unassuming but quite cozy when you walk in, decked out with a lavender door and all and was hopping for a Tuesday night in Morgantown while the area was under a tornado watch. I liked their menu because not only was it one type of Asian cuisine-they had Thai, Chinese and Japanese food. My friend said their sushi was amazing and I am team sushi all the way however I didn't feel so confident about ordering sushi in Morgantown. I'm a sushi snob, there I said it! Not feeling like a gambler, I stuck with old faithful and got the Chicken Pad Thai. The portion sizes were out of control-so much food on such a small plate. I ate every bite up and couldn't have been happier. It was one of the best pad thai's I've ever had and they even listened to me when I said I liked it spicy. The spice was there but didn't overtake the peanut flavor which happens most of the time with me. My friend got the Godzilla Roll and I admit, when I saw it I had a bit of food envy. I tried and roll and again, it was fabulous (see the pic, it's gorgeous!!) Staff is very friendly and they had a team effort thing going on. They must have been very concerned about my hydration since I got 8+ refills of water. I like that they care about my water intake, hugs, Lavender Cafe! I can't wait for my next trip to Motown so I can hit up Lavender again! read more

At this point I think my wife and I have tried every menu item and never been disappointed.

I also especially recommend the Taiwanese rice noodles read more

This was my first trip to Lavender and it was delicious. Don't expect excellent service, their English isn't the best you will ever hear by any means, but of course it's not about that, it's the food. Dropped $60 here on 2 people without trying, I don't recommend the Beauty and Beast roll, it's not the best value, the the Godzilla roll is definitely worth it. Parking is around back behind Papa Johns if you didn't know (like me). read more

I was browsing the yelp app looking for the hot spots in the area as I typically do when staying in a hotel. I decided to click the delivery tab and found this place. After checking out the reviews and the pictures, I decided to give yelps delivery service a shot. I'm happy I did, as the food arrived quickly and it was all pretty good! I started with the miso soup. The flavor there was good, however it was about 99% broth. The tofu was diced so small you hardly even knew there was any there. Next was General tso chicken. Large chicken chunks were cooked to perfection. The sauce was a hero for me, thick so it stuck to the chicken and red with chills, it had a good bite but in no way overpowering the sweet of the tso sauce. I also enjoyed mango green tea boba during this meal, as good as any other boba tea I've had. All in all, not the best Chinese I've ever had but damn good and I wouldn't hesitate to return if I'm in the area again. read more

Ordered takeout, can't speak to the vibe of the place, although it seems to be in a heavily student populated area on Beechurst. The shrimp fried rice I ordered was several notches above what i expect from my Chinese takeout experience. Full of flavor and had an egg scrambled in the way it should. Wontons were pretty basic though. They had a very tempting drink menu with different teas and smoothies I didn't risk getting through takeout but I would like to try soon! I will be ordering my fried rice from them from now on. read more

Best lunch special in town! Check out the menu for unbelievable prices. I got the spicy ma po tofu and my boyfriend ordered the shredded pork with hot pepper.

If I'm ordering Chinese takeout, it's usually because I'm craving General Tso's chicken and some soup. I don't expect too much. Just for the chicken to be fried well and decent-tasting, and I'd hope the soup would taste normal, that's all I want. That being said, I'm quite surprised at how bad the food was here. The egg drop soup was neon orange, watery, and very oily. The General Tso's chicken was also super bland and there was way more breading than chicken. It seemed to be tiny pieces of chicken mashed together in each giant lump of dough. Also, I was unnerved at how I could taste the flavor of the oil used to fry the chicken, but there was no taste of the meat itself. It could have been anything in there, I couldn't tell. I hate wasting food, and this was the first time I seriously considered throwing away food I ordered. I remember Lavender Cafe being really good the last time I went, which was many years ago--I wonder what happened? read more

Subpar food and horrible customer service. My friends and I ordered $106 of food the other day- so naturally, we are expecting good portions and tasty food. Sadly, we were very mistaken. The food portion size is small for the price. The hot and sour soup was very delicious, as was the lomein and fried rice. However, the sesame chicken, sushi, and garlic chicken were quite average. And while if the customer service was quality, I would order again- it was far below that. I called to tell a sushi roll was bad and they yelled at me and said their job was significantly harder than mine (I'm a nurse) and said they work far worse hours than me. This is beyond unprofessional and I will not be ordering again- especially for average food. read more

I have a feeling the bad reviews rather got them on a bad day or don't know what Taiwanese/Chinese food is supposed to taste like... Got the hot and sour soup which was wonderful for a cold April day. I also got the Szcechuan chicken, which I am still wondering how they got it so crispy with so little breading. Warning though, it is actually pretty spicy, so unlike other restaurants in Morgantown, if the menu has a pepper beside it actually take their word for it. read more

We ordered spicy tuna roll to try also. They did a good job I think. The price was the same as everywhere else. What I like the most here was spicy and soup soup. It's the right spice level and it's actually sour. I ordered spicy beef soup. I didn't really care for it much. I think it was too bland. Not spicy or have any taste. The noodle was good tho. I couldn't remember the name of that tofu dish. It was to tofu stir fried with pork. I really liked it. I think it was too salty. but when I tried it with rice, it was perfect. Small business. #support read more

Fantastic restaurant. Everything there is consistently delicious, and whether you're looking for traditional Taiwanese food, Chinese, or sushi, this place has you covered. Be prepared to throw down a bit of cash (average person comes to about $20), but you won't feel like your money is wasted. Service is friendly and very efficient; I never found myself wanting for refills. The decor is quaint and easy on the eyes, and for large parties there are separate rooms, giving your group a privacy not often seen nowadays. I highly recommend the Taiwanese Chunk Chicken if you're looking for a spicy dish that won't disappoint. For something milder, but no less delicious or filling, try the Beef Stew. My recent favorite is the Seafood Pan Fried Noodles. For dessert, they have excellent mochi (a rice based ice-cream dish) and bubble tea and smoothies. read more

This place is quickly becoming my favorite place for Pan-Asian cuisine. Everything I have had here is delicious. From the Miso Soup (light, barely sweet, and very savory) to the sushi (as fresh as you're going to get in Morgantown, unless there's a restaurant with a helicopter somewhere) - I have yet to have something from this place that I didn't like. Now, granted, I am a biggish guy, and one of the reasons for my biggishness is that I like a lot of foods. But I can honestly say that the dishes here are refreshing takes on classic Asian dishes. The General Tso's chicken is spicy, with big chunks of chicken and vegetables. The Kim Chi has the most wonderful texture (although I doubt they make it in the most traditional way) and is eye-tearing, icewater gulping spicy. It is the single best dish for dark and dreary winter nights. My single favorite dish here is the deep fried fish cakes. They use sweet thai basil and other spices with a fish paste, and cook it into these golden sticks of deliciousness. I strongly urge you to check this place out. read more
