Lavender Asian Bistro has been our go-to spot for over 10 years, and that kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and just hits every time. We order sushi takeout so often it might as well be on a standing reservation at this point. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. Ricky is hands-down our favorite server. He remembers my daughter London's name and her order every time, which honestly says everything about the level of care here. It's not just service, it's connection. And if that doesn't seal the deal, London chose to celebrate her 6th birthday there. Out of all the places she could pick... that was it. Great food, genuine service, and the kind of place that quietly becomes part of your routine. If you know, you know. read more

We went for lunch and as always everything was delightful! The ambiance here is just beautiful with the purple lights. Of course, I love it because purple is my favorite color! We started with an order of spring rolls and I love the sauce that's served with it but my friend likes the hot mustard which was not served with them like it is usually and he forgot to ask for it. The hot and sour soup was delicious could've been a tad spicier for us. I got the shrimp and scallop with garlic sauce scrumptious . My friend got the shredded beef and broccoli with szehuwan sauce (I know that's not spelled correctly lol). He cleaned his plate. Our server is always one step ahead of us and I like that if I give him my 2 choices he picks for me! He gets it right every single time! This place has become a regular on our rotation before our movies. read more

Lavender Asian Bistro - Shrimp and scallops with garlic sauce and fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Food was good, price was adequate, service was poor. One server at lunch time. I would return

the food was so good! amazing options for gluten free people, always thankful to have a spot that doesn't give me celiac heartbreak !! service was quick and it looked very nice inside also:) read more

I have celiac disease. Just had lunch at Lavender Asian Bistro in Lawrenceville and it is awesome. Extensive GF menu, good Asian fusion food. Americanized Chinese and Thai and a very well informed staff. Highly recommend. read more

While the food is good, the service is consistently terrible. For starter, no one acknowledges you when you're waiting to be seated. At the most, there are two servers waiting on the entire restaurant. The server forgot to bring my beer and had to get up and chase him to bring it to me. Like I said, this poor service is consistent. You'd think they would hire more help. read more

The food was very good. My girlfriend particularly liked the Gluten Free menu. If you are looking for Gluten Free asian food, this is a great place to go. I had the Pad Thai (gluten full) and it was delicious! We're definitely going again. Probably today! read more

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. read more

This is our spot Sunday after church. Food is great and service is always warm. I usually get massaman chicken, but I occasionally get the sushi. You can't go wrong with either. read more

Lavender Asian Bistro never disappoints! I've eaten there twice before and enjoyed it immensely. Yesterday, I was taken there by the ladies in my Impact Church Bible Group for my Birthday. lavender offers a variety of Asia cuisines from various cultures. Our party ordered Chinese dishes (Mongolian and Szechuan Beef, Sw/Sour chicken, fried rice); Japanese (Mango Sushi) and Thai dishes (Penang Curry, Basil fried rice) along with an array of other dishes. ALLLLL. were delicious. Lavender even brought dessert to me to celebrate my birthday. The only reason for the 4 rating is that the decorum is a little dated and could use some revamping. BUT this has nothing to do with their yummmy cuisines. Would I recommend this restaurant??? OHHHHH YEAHHHH!!!! read more

So disappointed in my lunch order today. The Mongolian Beef had no peppers and the wonton soup wasn't anything like it used to be. It seems like there is a new chef or new management changing the standards. Either way, I'm not sure I'll ever order again. read more

I am so excited to be back at Lavenders! This was one of my faves when I lived up here. We were at Dekalb Market and decided to drive out here on our way home. ' We both got Hot n sour soup. It was eh. Spring rolls were ok. Am praying that my Happy Family will knock it out of the park......AND IT DID NOT. The Vega was overcooked. It hardly had any sauce. Ken's Hot pot was ok. Just ok. Y'all, we are so very disappointed. Omg, how terrible. . read more

It was my son's birthday and his sushi didn't show up until all of his family was done slow eating. When we asked for it they told us they had a lot of Togo orders to fill. When it finally came and expressed my unhappiness they brought out a free desert. oh Whoopi do. Things happen I understand but what the company does to make it better when they royally screw up determines how good they are and they pretty much did nothing I should have refused to pay for anything read more

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

Lavender Asian Bistro - Coconut Ch8cken Soup and California roll and Avocado roll It's all very disappointing - Chinese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

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 read more

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. read more

Great food and super great service. Waiter was very good and made the meal a great time. Portions were good as well.

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. read more

Lavender Asian Bistro - Chinese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Awesome food. Never tried this place before. Ordered the Pad Prik. It was so yummy I came back a few days later and got it again.

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. read more

We ordered takeout from Lavender. I ordered the Mongolian beef with fried rice. The food was about as you'd expect, but what really stands out is the large portions. One can easily make 2-3 meals out of this dish, making it a great bang for your buck. read more

Lavender Asian Bistro - B2. Mongolian Beef - Chinese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

I highly recommend the sashimi and also the general tso chicken. My go to Chinese restaurant the last 15 yearss

So I've been coming here for years and the quality is just as good as it was before. If Yelp reviews could have background music imagine the TikTok trend Harry Styles - As It Was in the background. I usually get the same appetizers and similar-type entrees every time I go and it's consistently amazing! The service is excellent as well. They have even stayed open a little later than usual to accommodate me and my friends before. read more

I was new to Snellville looking for an authentic Asian restaurant and found this gem because it is in fact a fusion restaurant. The inside matches the name with purple lights and lavender as part of the decorations. They have a mix of Sushi, Chinese, and Thai options on their menu. I had ordered their chicken lo mein and rainbow roll. The noodles were like glass and the sauce that paired with them made me want to finish the plate. The rainbow roll was HUGE. The raw fish on top was so fresh. This will continue to be my regular spot. It has been recommended by coworkers and I have not had any disappointment. read more

We stopped in for lunch on Sunday. We've been here several times, but weren't pleased with this visit. The ambience and restaurant is nice. It took 10 minutes for our server to acknowledge us and take it drink orders. He wasn't the friendliest and most attentive. We finally placed our order and my meal came out with chicken instead of shrimp. The server told me that's what I told him, but he was the one to say chicken. He brought me a new meal. It looked better than the first. The pad see-ew was missing some flavor and some of the shrimp had not been completely deveined. GROSS, chewing and suddenly feeling grit in my teeth. This happened in at least 3 shrimp. My mom had a similar experience with her shrimp pad thai. Beware when ordering shrimp. read more

Visited Lavender for Sunday night dinner with my partner. Tons of parking. Nestled in quiet shopping center. We were seated immediately. Service was quick and efficient. They had an extensive bar and drink menu but we stuck to soft drinks. I order wonton soup and broccoli chicken as my main dish. Everything was delicious. My partner had the crispy prawns and felt the same as the sauce was tasty and everything worked great together! Overall, this is a great local Chinese spot that you can't go wrong! read more

I always order takeout here, and it's usually a lo mein dish and a soup. Each time I place my order, by phone, they are extremely polite and very friendly. Though I've never eaten there, when I pick up my order, usually on the weekends , they are quite busy but the wait staff never seems frenzied and more then happy to assist me. The prices are moderate and I would definitely recommend the lo mein, it's quite good. Though I have a thing for wonton soup I'm hoping to switch up and order the seafood soup soon. Lastly they don't take forever with your order. It's usually only a 10 minute wait on a busy night. read more

I genuinely think this is my favorite restaurant I have ever been to. Finding good asian food as a gluten free girl has always been so hard but they have an entire gluten free menu with so many options! The service is always amazing and the decor is just beautiful. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Service is good, sushi is fresh tasting, my favorite dish is hot & sour soup and Generals chicken with steam rice. Their mongolian beef with rice is good but on the sweet side and not very spicy. I like it very spicy. I like it with lots of onions, Egg foo young is mediocre. Egg (vegetable) rolls are good read more

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.

Sesame chicken here doesn't look or taste like sesame chicken. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Great looking restaurant with a great menu for both Chinese and Thai. The lunch specials are good for Sunday and very reasonable! It cost me $50 before tip for 5 people with two orders of spring rolls. It would be 5 stars if the service was a little bit quicker and the sesame chicken didn't taste like sweet and sour chicken. Overall a very good experience and will go back again when in the area! read more

Thanks to Ashbeezy for reviewing this hidden gem and making me want to finally give them a try. I frequent this area and plaza and never tried the food here. Well, today was a good day for some hot wonton soup! I came in for lunch, just looking for some good Asian food and was pleasantly surprised to find this place has a full bar! This isn't just an Asian lunch special spot, it's a full restaurant with white linens and servers. The chef was really nice and came out to help me decide what to order. I decided on the Hunan chicken ($7.50) which comes with veggie fried rice and soup or a spring roll. He was nice enough to allow me to sub the wonton soup in place of the egg drop soup. The food came out in less than 10 minutes and was piping hot! The Hunan sauce was sweet & spicy and enough to pour all over my rice. The chicken was really tender along with the broccoli and red peppers. Honestly, it was so good I burned my mouth devouring it before allowing it to cool down first! The soup is a hit at this place, and it was good but I needed a bit more meat inside the wonton. Overall, I'm so glad to finally find a spot that sells a variety of Asian cuisine with great flavors, great service, and a full bar. I think my search may be over! read more

One of my favorite Asian Restaurants. We always get excellent service and the food is amazing!! My favorites are the dumplings with hot sesame sauce which are hot but not spicy. The pad Thai noodles, Happy Family and Panang Curry along with any of their fried rice. We love every thing but those are our favs. read more

This place is awesome! Came here on an early dinner date, after a movie. Had the Tokyo Tower, spring rolls, Coconut chicken soup, miso soup, Bagel Roll, Nigori Sake, and the $5 house margaritas...which were delicious! Staff was awesome! read more

We use this restaurant at least monthly and have found it to be superb. Because of mobility issues we get delivery service, but this has always been great in terms of time, menu items and food temperature. They are great folks and also make items with reduced sodium. I would definitely recommend trying them. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch and had massaman curry which someone posted that was tasty. Service was nice and pretty quick. This comes with coconut mushroom soup and those little crunchy fried wontons I believe they're called. Soup was good minus the raw sliced mushrooms. The curry was pretty good. The portion was a good size for lunch. I didn't care for the carrots it came with and it seemed to not go well with the dish. Overall good place to go. read more

My go to for delicious food that crosses various cuisines. The service is fast and my order is always correct.
