"This is the first Chinese restaurant I've found that truly captures the flavors I grew up loving. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and my meal was served in no time. I was especially impressed with the egg rolls; they reminded me of the ones I enjoyed while living in California. While they may seem like a small part of the meal, they really enhanced my overall experience. It's wonderful to discover a Texas restaurant that offers such delicious food. Thank you for bringing me back to the comforting tastes of my childhood!"

I had a great experience with the Pu Pu platter and the sesame chicken. This is definitely the best Chinese restaurant we've been to so far. Once we find a place we like, we stick to it, and this has become our go-to Chinese spot!

Sadly they were closed when we drove from libertyhill to try them out. Google said they were open, standard times say they are open, even the posted sign claiming July 11 they will be closed didn't talk about them being closed. I guess call em before you head over!

Sarah was extremely polite and friendly, and her sister Stephanie is too, although she was not there today. The soup was fantastic—hot and flavorful—that I had to go back for another serving! My pregnant wife has been craving it for a while, and after finally trying it, I really loved it! View menu

We absolutely love this place! The egg rolls are truly the best; I've lived in Japan, so I can say that with confidence. Everything we've ordered has been excellent. Although we've moved to Lampasas now, we always make a point to stop by for a meal whenever we're in Georgetown. It never disappoints!

I found the food to be bland and tasteless, one note. Appetizer shrimp something so mushy, horrible mouth feel. I will not be going back and after reading about the hair, I can 't even finish my food.. hair is the simplest to remedy. I paid $27 something, gross. I 'll order pizza for delivery for $27 :⁠ '⁠

The interior could use some updating, but the food was exceptional. Our server was friendly and attentive. It may sound amusing, but I highly recommend the Pu-Pu platter sampler; the presentation, complete with a fire in the center, was impressive. This is a great spot in Georgetown for Chinese dining, whether you choose to eat in or take out. View menu

The first thing that caught my attention was the decor. This place is absolutely stunning! The food arrived quickly, and my waiter was fantastic. What I appreciated most was that I never felt rushed, even as the restaurant started to fill up. The food was delicious; I had the combination lo mein, and the portion size for the price is impressive.

I have a lot to share about this restaurant. First of all, the General Tso's chicken was incredible. The beef lo mein was also delicious, tasting incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. The egg rolls truly lived up to the hype—amazing! We also ordered chicken fried rice, and it came in a huge portion, which was fantastic and so flavorful. Plus, the lunch prices are very wallet-friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area or just passing through.

"My daughter and I had went to Georgetown last weekend to check out a few places to host her baby shower in April and we walked into Laurie’s cafe to check it out and we spoke to the owner Beth she seemed very welcoming and even offered to move some tea sets off a table but we liked them so we told her she didn’t have too. We discussed a few things and we were very excited to come back and try the food because we had already had lunch that day at another restaurant we were checking out so we told her we would come back and check out the food so that we could make our final choice on where we were going to host it so today Saturday February 24th we went to lunch there my daughter her fiancé and my mother and I to check it out we drove 45 minutes or so and we had high hopes and really had our heart set on holding it at this location. When we arrived the sign clearly states seat yourself anywhere you like so we did we picked a round table with a Pilar next to it so it would sit 5 people maybe and we had 4 I had stepped away to use the ladies room and when I came back I had noticed that the owner was at our table and I thought she had remembered us and maybe came over to talk about the baby shower but no she was asking us to move to a smaller table My daughter is 39 weeks pregnant tomorrow we wanted the bigger table for more room for her and for us to not feel so cramped The restaurant maybe had 2 tables with customers and was not busy We did move however I have a big issue with this treatment!! Why have a sign that says sit anywhere if you are going to have a problem with where we sit Also they had other options if a 5 or 6 people table came in so I don’t see what the big deal was or why she felt the need to approach the table in that way it’s a good thing I was in the restroom when she first came over or else we probably would’ve walked out!! We didn’t deserve to be treated that way and she even came out and talked to other tables but never to us mind you no other big parties came in while we were dining!!! A one person sat at a 4 top table but they were not asked to move to a two top table!! She never thanked us for moving tables or came by our table to see how everything was. She seemed more aggravated that we were even eating at her restaurant. I don’t understand why we were treated that way either as we didn’t deserve it we were only doing what the sign said and picked a table to sit at!! The more I think about it the more annoyed I get and I wish I would’ve said more and stood up for all of us and most importantly my daughter who is very pregnant and needed the space of a bigger table. The restaurant had plenty of options for other large parties!! I feel disrespected and mistreated and the way she presented herself today was WRONG on so many levels! Do not support this restaurant and the rude owner!!! The food was ok I did like a lot of what I ordered however the coconut cream pie I ordered for my mom and I to share didn’t seem cooked completely and it lacked flavor. My bill was over $85 for 4 plates and two desserts and two drinks and I feel for what we got it was WAY overpriced!! After the way we were treated we will NOT be hosting it at Laurie’s Cafe!! We decided to go with Sweet Lemon Kitchen and will be paying them close to $900 so next time BETH treat your customers better because you never know that could have been a good thing for your restaurant to host us and your waitstaff!!!! Don’t go to this place if your out in the Georgetown area Check out the many other places and the sweet lemon kitchen!!!!!"
