    Hot and sour soup
    Aash M.

    Lavender Asian Bistro was fairly populated on a late Friday night. We loved the decor of the place and they really lean in on the purple lavender elements in the restaurant. It was a nice change of pace from other restaurants I've been to that serve thai/sushi. The food was decent - definitely not up to my personal standards for Thai food. I ordered the tofu pad thai as usual and the actual tofu was really good but perhaps the sauce of the pad thai left more to be desired. Something tasted off and it's a bit difficult to describe. My friend who was with me also got pad thai but shrimp and he agreed with my sentiment to a point where we both went "It's good... but different." He also ordered hot and sour soup as a starter and noted the wonton chips were stale (or getting to the point of being stale). All in all, I don't regret coming here but I left feeling a bit disappointed given that I enjoyed the ambience. My search for the best Thai spot in the Lawrenceville area continues.

    Coconut Ch8cken Soup and California roll and Avocado roll  It's all very disappointing

    Very Dissatisfied, been going her for 15 years! This was what my Lavender Thai order for 50 dollars was today !!!

    Stopped in for a nice Chinese lunch. Service was good felt bad for waiter as he was only one there for about 8-10 tables. Food was hot and delivered in a timely manner. Main dish was very good , Hit n Sout soup was milder than I am use to but still good. Will Definitely be back.

    This place has really good vibes! Love the ambiance, kinda dark and relaxing. We came for the Chinese food, I do not eat a lot of rice these days but when I do, I want it to be worth the calories and it was, the fried rice was good. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice wonton soup. The portions were huge, unfortunately I was not a fan of the sauce served with the chicken it was really sweet and fruity, it gave off a pineapple/ tangerine taste, so I decided to eat the chicken with out the sauce. The service was great and the prices were pretty reasonable. I will probably try the sushi on my next visit

    I travel across the country now with my new job and I still make a point to come back here. Respectful, humble, delicious. Highly recommend their ichiban roll and their tso's chicken. They have an entire (and I mean ENTIRE, like several pages long) inclusive menu for my girlfriend who medically has to eat gluten-free that is also delicious. I could go on and on, I love it here and you will too.

    Spicy Girl roll with soy paper and tuna roll.

    We have been coming to Lavender for nearly 20 years. The management has changed a lot over the years. The food is still amazing but the service is very slow. They don't keep a full waitstaff it seems. Even our favorite server now works at another place in Grayson. I cannot say anything negative about the food. Especially the sushi. Always fresh and expertly prepared.

    As a long time Lavender customer, I love their food. Over the years, the personnel has changed but the food is still tops in my book.

    Good time trying new foods. Enjoyable with friends and family. We went all you can eat on a…read moreSaturday because we had no idea what we wanted to try. That was a good idea. We went back Friday for lunch. The price is a little bit better so if you can do a lunch one I would recommend that because you won't need to have dinner.

    You have the option of choosing between an All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) menu or ordering à la carte. I'd…read moredefinitely recommend the AYCE experience. We went for the dinner AYCE at $29.99 per person, and kids under 3 eat free. Our toddler (3) and baby, free of costs. But our toddler did have his own meal (chicken nuggies and fries...what a plus!) Keep in mind that some items are included in the per-person price, while others come with an additional charge. For example, the fried ice cream dessert was $1 per serving on top of the AYCE cost. Not a huge deal, but worth noting. Now, onto the revolving sushi belt experience. The bottom belt is full of pre-made sushi, circulating around, while the top belt carries the sushi you've specifically ordered via iPad. This is where a few concerns come in. Since the pre-made sushi is constantly circulating, you don't always know if someone has fiddled with it. As for the iPad ordering system, it was placed up above the top sushi belt, which was a bit of a nuisance. It would have been easier to use if it was within arm's reach, but again, not a major issue. We opted to order items that would take time to prepare and came directly to our table, so we could avoid the pre-made conveyor. The fried ice cream dessert was great, tasty--but the spoon they gave me was dirty and sticky. It honestly felt like it had been used by a kid before being handed to me. Needless to say, I didn't use it. Service was solid. Our server was helpful, especially since it was our first time, and walked us through the process. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are a few things that could be improved, particularly with cleanliness and the setup of the revolving belts.
