Let’s add another place to the list “Restaurants I wish we would’ve had when I lived in Morgantown”. I remember this being some beat up take out Chinese place when I was in school so when my friend told me Lavender Cafe had taken it’s place, I wasn’t expecting that much.

Boy, was I wrong.

It’s very unassuming but quite cozy when you walk in, decked out with a lavender door and all and was hopping for a Tuesday night in Morgantown while the area was under a tornado watch. I liked their menu because not only was it one type of Asian cuisine-they had Thai, Chinese and Japanese food. My friend said their sushi was amazing and I am team sushi all the way however I didn’t feel so confident about ordering sushi in Morgantown. I’m a sushi snob, there I said it! Not feeling like a gambler, I stuck with old faithful and got the Chicken Pad Thai. The portion sizes were out of control-so much food on such a small plate. I ate every bite up and couldn’t have been happier. It was one of the best pad thai’s I’ve ever had and they even listened to me when I said I liked it spicy. The spice was there but didn’t overtake the peanut flavor which happens most of the time with me. My friend got the Godzilla Roll and I admit, when I saw it I had a bit of food envy. I tried and roll and again, it was fabulous (see the pic, it’s gorgeous!!)

Staff is very friendly and they had a team effort thing going on. They must have been very concerned about my hydration since I got 8+ refills of water. I like that they care about my water intake, hugs, Lavender Cafe!

I can’t wait for my next trip to Motown so I can hit up Lavender again!
