Spicy wonton

Yummy food, all cooked thoroughly Helpful staff and gave us our food in a timely manner The environment is very calming and relax

Szechuan chicken
Jacqueline V.

Rainy day Asian food run! The serving sizes are not the traditional chinese take out, and perhaps the cook called out sick today? The combo fried rice offered 4 shrimp, and chewy beef. The Szechuan chicken... well it was overcooked, looked like it was repurposed from a steamed chicken dish and the broccoli was overly steamed and twice beaten. See photo for the poor plating and serving size. I didn't photograph the small soup...it is exactly that...a small teacup size portion of soup. The Szechuan sauce was not a traditional brown sauce and was a runny, thin liquid. The best part of the meal was the egg rolls. Decent size and crispy on the outside. Perhaps the Japanese and Thai dishes might be a better choice next time? You tell me...should I give the other menu items a chance?

Red curry with fried rice and crab rangoon

This is an excellent place. Service is great. Food is amazing. Everyday they have specials. You can get excellent dishes from China, Japan, Thailand, Myanmar and other Asian countries

My General Tso's Chicken had too much breading and the pieces were small. Everyone else enjoyed their food. The service was good, the restaurant I don't have very good lighting.

Starting off with appetizers, we ordered calamari, gyoza, and takoyaki. The appetizers were hot but the takoyaki was too mushy on the inside, and the gyoza and calamari were mediocre at best. Food tasted as if it was packaged and right out of the freezer, not fresh at all. For mains we ordered salmon nigiri, tempura shrimp roll, and the eel bento box. Firstly the salmon nigiri was only one small piece of salmon for 5 dollars, and for the price you would expect the salmon to be somewhat fresh and have a decent color. The shrimp tempura was drenched in eel sauce which made the roll soggy. The bento box was not filling at all, the rice was cold and dry, the unagi was sliced thinly and the sauce was not good at all. The tempura might have been the best part of the bento box honestly. The waiter was nice, but lacked service. Overall, majority of the food was room temperature, everything tasted old, and the menu is just too big to have any dish really stand out.

1 Bento Box and 5 Bento Box

Been here a few times and have ordered off both the regular menu and the traditional Chinese menu (the hot pot is great). Particularly impressed with their bento boxes - a lot of food for the money. Yellowtail sashimi was amazing. Service has always been good as well. I have tried the Thai food yet but I'm looking forward to trying their red curry. They have a large variety of dishes and they do almost all of them right.

Teriyaki chicken bento box

We were visiting Lawrence briefly, and my daughter loves Asian cuisine, so we searched Yelp and gave this restaurant a try. It did not disappoint. If we are ever in town again, we will definitely go back.

Egg Drop Soup - A bowl of egg drop soup with a spoon, placed on a dark, speckled countertop, showcasing the bright orange broth and swirling egg ribbons.

Incredible food and drinks! I had the mango lemonade and the lychee iced tea, and it was incredible! The egg drop soup was to die for and the honey chicken was amazing! Highly recommend this to anyone.

Tuna poke bowl
Paige T.

Delicious food, excellent service, and a huge variety of cuisines. They have Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. The spicy edamame brought some serious heat- amazing flavor but only if you love spiciness. The tuna poke bowl tasted very fresh- it had edamame, seaweed, corn, carrots, rice, sesame seeds, tuna cubes, and roe. Very tasty!

Their customer service and delivery is in the trash. I've placed like 15 delivery orders, and they've left utensils out of every single one. They eventually offered me a $5 discount, but when I used it they just didn't bring me rice. Any time I've ordered soup, they have not included a spoon. The sushi rolls are slopped together and their sushi rice could use improvement.

See all

Food was delicious and service excellent. I had the orange peel chicken and the portion was enough to have leftovers to take home.

Food is great. Always is. Service on the other hand... the…read morewaitress/hostess we had was awful. When we first entered, she stood up from a booth, walked into the kitchen and came out 2 mins later to seat us. She gave my spouse his soda with cream cheese in the cup. She sat in a booth with somebody else not working, and when we asked for more beef at the bar she asked somebody else to do it, who then asked one of the cooks to do it. When we went up to our second plate, she didn't take any of our plates, the guy she was sitting with did. When my spouse got a refill she brought a whole new cup but didn't take the empty one. Then went down the whole line of people in booths asking if it was cash or card. A couple sitting near us had sweet tea and she told them it was too much to make more sweet tea this late into the night but they could get something else. It was 730. A group of college boys came in and she told them they got water, and then proceeded to ask them cash or card as they stood up to get their first plate. Offered a 10% discount then just didn't give it to us. When the booths on one side filled up she moved to another booth on the other side. The whole food bar was a mess and sticky, it was shrimp night and no shrimp was up there. She filled no sauces, no food, nothing. We felt bad asking because one of the cooks was coming out to do it. Cooks were amazing, food that was made available to us was awesome!

If you find yourself in Lawrence KS, you need to find Hu Hot and make yourself some Mongolian…read more dish. Don't just drive through this gem of a town, stay and eat you will not be disappointed. We ordered the egg rolls and potstickers and of course made our own noodle bowls.
