"I try to bring out more pan-Asian dishes," Zhao said. "It's more down-to-earth Asian dishes instead of typical American-Chinese."
Zhao said that unlike many Chinese restaurants, Encore Cafe tries to avoid being the typical American-Chinese eatery.
The pad thai noodles and mongolian beef are two popular dishes at Encore. If students are looking for an affordable but top-notch Asian restaurant, Encore Cafe tops the list.

The award for best delivery belongs to a sandwich shop that you may have heard of once or twice. With three Lawrence locations and the promise of a "freaky fast" delivery, Jimmy John's is a clear favorite among impatient college students
Although the restaurants offer a wide variety of options, popular sandwiches at Jimmy John's include the "Beach Club" and the "Italian Night Club," as well as the "Turkey Tom."
