Three Bowl - Lawrence

Very bland. Took over an hour after the given ETA time for food. Very generic, nothing special. For the price, I was expecting a LOT better. I won't be going back here.

Best chinese food ive had in lawrence. staff was friendly and the portions are huge. definitely coming back soon.

Update: fairly certain this place is closed. Put multiple orders in over multiple days and it always gets denied and refunded and they never pickup the phone.Would have loved to try the food, if i had actually got it delivered like i was supposed to. But unfortunately they failed to notify doordash they were closing today so i waited an hour and had money drawn from my account for no reason. Will update this review when i actually get to try it.

Pho was delicious! Large portion of food and customer service was amazing!

Three Bowl Restaurant is a relatively newcomer to the Lawrence food scene, but it 's been here for awhile and the story is complicated. More about that in a bit. First off, it 's attached to South end of the Asian grocer F Mart, what I personally think is a pretty remarkable store for this town and one I value dearly. They 're serving up a lot of food choices you 'd normally need to head to parts of Kansas City to obtain. You can even pass from the restaurant right into the grocery. Convenient. What I know about Three Bowl: it opened right before the pandemic first hit in early 2020 and we began to hear about some spectacular versions of Szechuan hot pot being served. We had plans to dine with a party of 6, and a few days before we got the chance, everything began to shut down, particularly restaurants. Thank you, Covid 19. Fast forward. For all I know its been shuttered since, but on a trip to F Mart last week someone at checkout said they were reopening for carryout. In place of hot pot, the tables, all with heating elements what must have been a very pricey investment), sit unattended with a few diners interspersed around the room waiting for carryout on our first visit. We ordered Singapore Fried Rice Noodles, Combination Vermicelli and Vegetable Fried Buns. The portions are enormous. One entrée would have easily filled us both. A bit surprisingly, since the menu has clearly been toned down and simplified for carryout, the food was spot on, seasoned perfectly, and although the person who waited on us was apologetic sorry, we 're running behind, slammed! , possibly a whole 5 minutes late from the time the Menufy app said. No big deal. I almost laughed. So here 's the thing: solid, decent, though pretty regular choices from the online menu for this style of fare, but there are some real plans here for when we can all sit down in restaurants inside again. Right now they 've chosen that 's not a good idea based on the space, and I 'm totally OK with that. I 'll await the return of the hot pot, and can 't wait to experience that. Meanwhile, the city has a good new choice for carryout or delivery DoorDash) and if you 're a fan of this kind of food, no reason to not strongly recommend it. I hoping for the best for them, and in the meantime, plenty of leftovers tomorrow. Oh, and those vegetable buns were something else! If you come: carryout or delivery only as of the date of this review. Credit cards accepted. Very limited parking in the lot shared with the grocery, maybe 6 stalls tops. All filled on our visit, but street parking available. Open Tuesday through Sunday 4:00 9:00 p.m.
