I recently had a delightful dining experience at Encore Asian Bistro, conveniently situated on Massachusetts street. The restaurant’s location might require street meter parking, but once you step inside, you’ll find yourself in a clean, contemporary, and minimalistic ambiance that sets the stage for a pleasant meal.

Excellent food and service! Me and my friend were confused about what to order, but the lady server gave us a fantastic selection of their restaurant. I loved the quality of the food. The Interior was also throwing Asian vibes there.

First time visiting. Inviting atmosphere. Bathrooms were clean with a little twist. There is actually a clear glass window between the men’s and women’s bathroom where you wash your hand. So no you didn’t have too much to drink. That’s actually6 a person of the opposite sex looking at your too. The drinks were artistic and tasted good. The food was good. Not fantastic but good. As you can see from the pictures we had a variety of dishes. Everyone at the table was pleases.

What a wonderful little place on Mass! Definitely popular. Wait about 20 minutes for a table, but the bar staff was incredibly friendly, making a delicious tequila sunrise.

Best Asian cuisine in Lawrence. Have not had anything bad here. Would recommend the crab rangoon, Mongolian Beef, Broccoli and Beef, Cashew Chicken. Lunch bento boxes are excellent choices for lunchtime. Really nice location as well. Not open on Tuesdays though… that has caught me off a few times.

Nice place. Lots of space. Super nice people. Food was alright. Not traditional Asian food. The ma po tofu was brown, which is not the traditional Chinese color and the Singapore rice noodles were a bit off too. Good for Americans but if you’re actually Asian, probably not the place for you. Still tasted great though! Just not traditional haha. But they also don’t claim to be traditional . They are American fusion. So all good.
