Did not have a reservation on this occasion, but they always make me feel welcome and manage to fit us in. Sat on the outdoor covered patio that was cool and shaded. The atmosphere is modern and lively, making it a great spot for a weekend brunch. Started the meal with cocktails including Lycheetini with Deep Eddy Vodka, Giffard Lichi-li. lemon, cranberry, I cut the cranberry. Also had a Fresa Paloma with Socorro Reposado Tequila, Contratto, strawberry, lime, grapefruit, five-spice that was very sweet and garnished with a flower. You are given a card where you can mark your dim sum selections. I ordered the Shrimp Pancake, Snow Crab Ball and Chinese Sausage Sticky Rice. The standout was the shrimp pancake that had a really great texture and flavor. The snow crab ball had a strange texture with shrimp surrounding the snow crab claw. The Chinese Sticky Rice is always a favorite. Also ordered the Truffle Egg Fried rice and Birds Nest with Seasonal Vegetable. The Truffle rice is so flavorful like a flavor explosion in your mouth. The Birds Nest is made with fried potato shreds which contain the a variety of vegetables including cauliflower, peppers, mushrooms and asparagus. The nest is also edible and has a crunchy texture. The presentation of the food is amazing and everything came out hot and fresh. The flavors were on point, and you can tell there's attention to detail in the preparation. Service was attentive outdoors and the pacing of dishes felt just right for a relaxed brunch. This restaurant is truly a gem whether you come for brunch or dinner service. Will definitely be back.

My partner was craving Chinese food, so we looked up Qi Austin on Yelp. We gave them a call ahead…read moreof time to ask if we needed reservations and to get a sense of how busy they were since we were only 20 minutes away. The person who answered the phone mentioned that it tends to get pretty busy, but didn't share much else and seemed a bit brusque. Despite that, the pictures of the food looked really tempting, so we decided to give it a try. Parking was a breeze. We parked across the street in the Whole Foods lot because we planned to do some grocery shopping afterward. As we walked in, we were given the option to sit on the patio or just sit at the countertop. We chose to sit inside at the countertop. We ordered Peking duck, honey beef, and hot and sour soup. I also went with the braised ox tail. The hot and sour soup looked very flavorful, but to me, it tasted more like water with just a little hot oil on top. The Peking duck had a good flavor to the meat but the skin wasn't very crispy. The braised ox tail was so tough to chew that I had to send it back. I make the same dish at home with star anise and shaoxing wine but I cook mine for 48 hours on a lower simmer and the ox tail always falls off of the bone. This oxtail at the restaurant was too tough to ever fall off of the bone with ease and there was no tenderness to the meat. We also ordered the mango bomb dessert which was the best dish of the night. The orange flavored chocolate spoon worked really well with the mango bomb's delicious flavors with the edible flower petals and raspberry flavored crumbles. I could eat the dessert all day long. Altogether, the quality of the food is not as good as its presentation. Yes, dessert ended on a high note and that is probably what the restaurant hopes that people would remember as they leave so that they forget the earlier dishes that looked great, but didn't taste so great.

This place is BANG FOR THE BUCK, delicious food, good price and atmosphere…read more.. Sometimes it's difficult to pigeonhole "ambiance"; Is it atmosphere you pay for despite mediocre food? Surroundings that transport you somewhere, like a villa, to embrace a type of cuisine? Here, I'd say ambiance is a comfortable escape with a kitchen and menu offering quality Japanese fare we all crave. The menu is vast and easy to read as you nestle in the cozy, Japanese themed surroundings. Not fancy. Cozy. You quickly forget the strip mall location and vape shop next door. It's a place to settle in for a spell or a quick, relaxing lunch. The service was extremely friendly, smiling and quick. The sushi was delicious, proper temperature and flavorful. The spicy seasonings were on point and the very spicy is appropriately noted on menu. I'm going back for more exploration, relaxation and `affordable quality.

My favorite roll is the Godzilla. It reminded me of my other favorite roll from Iron Fish sushi in Pflugerville called the Iron Fish roll, the crispy entire roll is fried, creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I stopped going to Iron fish because the sold it and new owners came and the Iron Fish is not the same anymore. Now, I found another restaurant that serves my favorite, Godzilla. I really liked the Philly roll, strong flavors from the cream cheese and big chunks of salmon. I found the golden river roll to be interesting from a texture standpoint. It has grilled oil on the inside and sashimi in the outside, so it has like a firm and soft texture at the same time. All the rolls were fresh, loved the rice, loved the super green avocados, and the only negative to me is the price points. I felt maybe the golden river, the dynamite, and Phoenix rolls from taste to experience could be worth $2-3 less in price to match competitors around $13-14 a roll. Other than the pricing, wonderful experience.

The inside was vey inviting and tastefully decorated. We had the Beef Bulgogi Bao, this was really yummy. The bao was soft and delightful. The beef had a sweet bulgogi glaze that worked really well with it. The rest of the toppings added a nice balance without overpowering the meat. My only wish was that it was 4 baos and not two since they are so small. The highlight was the Firecracker Shrimp. Be warned this is not a spicy dish like you might think from the name. The crispy shrimp was crunchy and not soggy at all, it felt pretty clean and not greasy. It came with salad, rice and a spicy soy sauce and it was just so good. With 12 shrimp, it's definitely shareable between 2 people. Lastly we had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was $6. It tasted like Ovaltine and was mostly ice with just a few sips. I wouldn't recommend it unless the cup size is increased or the price is decreased. So overall, it's a bit pricey. The menu was also a little confusing. We checked online prior to coming and they had a lot of stuff but when at the restaurant, there were only a few items listed which caught us off guard. We actually ended up ordering the wrong item (firecracker shrimp when we actually wanted dynamite shrimp, ultimately it worked out cuz it was delicious but the problem still stands). So those are the only cons I can think off. Other than that, The place was fantastic. Did not think Hutto would have a place of this caliber. We will be back to try the rest of the items, it all looked so good. Definitely will be a repeat customer. 4.5 stars rounded up for now.

My 19-year-old granddaughter is visiting from out of town, and she was so impressed with everything: the beautiful presentation, the restaurant itself, and especially the incredible flavors. We arrived around 11:30 a.m. and were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for a bit. Our waiter was wonderfully kind and attentive, checking on us throughout our meal without ever being intrusive. The wonton soup was delicious, with fresh, crisp vegetables that added the perfect crunch. The lunch special is an amazing value at $13.99. For just a $1 upcharge, you can substitute fried rice, and your meal includes an egg roll, your choice of soup, and your entrée. The portions were generous enough that we both had leftovers to take home for dinner. I ordered the Szechuan Beef, and it was absolutely outstanding.

I had…read morehonestly started to give up on Korean food after moving here from Dallas--cough Carrollton, IYKYK--but Ghama Zone reminded me what good Korean food is actually like. Unfortunately, I was too busy eating and socializing to take many photos, but the bossam in particular really stole the show. It was soft, flavorful, and not funky at all, which is one of my biggest pet peeves with bossam. It also came with lettuce leaves and soybean paste, which made every bite so satisfying. Their soup, which I did manage to photograph, was also amazing. The broth was clear yet refined and full of flavor. The beef rib had more meat than I could even finish and was incredibly tender. Overall, Ghama Zone is a great spot if you live nearby and are craving solid, comforting Korean food around Austin.
