Food was DELICIOUS! Ordered Beef Black Pepper udon which came in a huge portion, definitely big enough to share. We also got the Pork and bok choy dumplings which were giant and super yummy. But the star of the show was the garlic bok choy...I would eat this every day, super delicious! The staff was very nice and attentive! Will definitely be back!! read more

Toothpick lamb was my favorite, but I also liked their soup dumpling. Their spicy beef noodle soup had big chunks of meat. We'll definitely be back. read more

We tried One Bite Dumpling today for lunch. We loved it! The restaurant is clean and the staff are super hospitable. Our food was excellent; large portions. They even brought us to-go cups for our tea without us having to ask. We will be back! read more

Derive was good and fast. I had the Mongolian Beef and an order of the chicken soup dumpling. Beef was very good with deep rich flavors and tender pieces of beef. The dumplings were super tender and the broth in them was lovely; light and tasty. read more

Great food and wonderful service! This is real authentic Chinese food. The pot stickers and soup dumplings were amazing--can't wait to come back again! read more

Amazing flavors! We had the beef dumplings--awesome nuances, and the BBQ buns--light and fluffy with a hint of sweetness, sesame balls--also very flavorful, and green onion pancake. Very good table service, and food so good we're already planning to return. read more

This place is AWESOME! Everything is delicious. I personally have never been fond of fried rice but it tastes delicious here. Not sure what they do different but even my roommates who love fried rice say it tastes better here. And those little pancake things are also great. But go ahead and try everything because so far everything I have tried is awesome! Highly recommend. 5 read more

From the service, to the atmosphere, to the menu, to the dumplings, from the fact that they also served sweet American dishes that only Americans with an under developed pallet can enjoy, they have it all. They have the real deal for you. They have the sugar American crap for you and your kids. They have beer. They have rated, they have awesome servers and they make fresh dumplings all day. I'm going back, and then I'm going to go back again. read more

Dumplings were really good!! Same for scallion pancakes but no traditional sauce with the pancake. Beef and broccoli awful- globs of cornstarch oily sauce. Intestinal problems a couple hours later. Still, I'd go back for the dumplings! read more

Delicious vegetable fried rice prepared to perfection. I paired it with the crispy tofu and that was amazing as well. The food was prepared and boxed nicely and was very hot! Will definitely keep them locked in! read more

Popped in for some dumplings while running errands in south Austin. So glad I did, probably the best xlb's I've had in Austin. Really nice broth for the wonton soup too. Will definitely be back soon, can't wait to try more! read more

Good dumplings. Easy to get to. Fast service. Like the pork dumplings the most. Reasonably priced.

Over all this place was great! We decided to dine in to check it out. We miss hao hao! The food was good! We thought the sauces for the dumplings were lacking and there were a few mis leadings on the menu but all in all we would go back. The orange chicken was excellent! The server we had was pleasant and she seemed very thorough. Good place to go eat inside or just grab some to go food. read more

WOW! The soup dumplings, pot stickers and wonton soup were incredible! It was crowded and service was slow but we can't wait to go back and try several other menu items! I wanted to give it a bad review so it wouldn't get too crowded, but I just couldn't! read more

Genuinely some of the best Chinese food i've ever had. The dumplings are exceptional, and traditional entrees and appetizers are also very flavorful. Service is excellent and staff clearly takes pride in how their food comes out. read more

Uh-oh... I was WRONG!! 'Took two friends to dine in at 3pm yesterday and it was a dismal experience. Wait staff are unfriendly and RUDE. The hot and sour soup was the highlight. Noodles w/shrimp was overpowered by bell peppers and lacked flavor. Green onion pancake does not come with any sauce and was just ok. Beef roll, same. Bbq pork bun was lackluster and as we were leaving we saw that they were steamed from frozen. Horribly disappointing experience. And now this chef resumes the search for GOOD, fresh Chinese food here in Austin!! read more

This place is doing great work. We were pleasantly surprised to find a soup dumpling shop in the neighborhood but honestly not one thing disappointed! We also ordered a beef roll pancake and loved that it had cucumber in it. The black pepper udon did have a little kick but not too spicy. The noodles and dumpling are high quality and home made. Can't wait to try more of the menu! Definitely recommend! read more

This restaurant needs to be half the size it is or less given the staff and speed of food coming out. I'm not sure if I came on an off day where they were short staffed but what I'm observing is the very opposite of fast. On top of that, I think I'm the only Asian person here in the HOUR THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MY ORDER TO BE COMPLETED. I feel like this restaurant doesn't know what it wants to be as I'm eating Chinese food and K-pop music wafts through the speakers. It's frankly kind of confusing. Anyone that reads through my reviews understands that value is of utmost importance to me and the ultimate question of this inquires what acts as the primary driver for the owner to operate a restaurant? Is this a cash grab or is there a genuine passion for food? That is the primary question I always seek to answer. Let's start with the good: - The chili oil is actually decent and they provide a healthy amount. - the clear broth noodle soup is very good. That's about it. Whoooboy. Let's get into it. Here's the bad: - The staff do not move with the urgency I would expect from people who know what they're doing. Water cups are left empty, inside the restaurant is uncomfortably hot and humid. -here's the biggest sin: food is coming out practically cool to the touch as opposed to hot leading me to believe that much of their dumpling food is prepared not to order but based on anticipation and then kept on warmers so as to not overcook and burst. When we ordered XLB, it was the first to come out but in less than 5 minutes, which is quite surprising and it typically takes a minimum of 7-9 minutes of cook time. When biting into, it was basically lukewarm soup that came out which not what it's supposed to be. And don't get me started on the wrapper consistency. Thin in certain places, thick like pancakes in others. Not at all a great experience. As of this writing I had waiting a literal 1 hr and 20 minutes for my order of beef rolls and it still wasn't on its way. It was "being worked on", the same status as 20 minutes prior. For those who don't know, assuming that the dough is prepped, it takes approximately 10 minutes to make as your mise en place should already be set to make a quick assembly and cook. As a comparison, Julie's Noodles which is 10x busier than this place can pop out an order of beef rolls in about 20 minutes from order submission to food hitting the table. While the food is generally what I expect in terms of taste, this is what I would expect to be sitting in my fridge coming home late from work. Down to the temperature. In fact that's exactly what this food reminds me of: reheated home cooked dinner. And that's fine for home. But restaurant? No. This smells, tastes, and feels like a home cook who thought that they could do this for a living and decided to open a restaurant. That might be endearing for some, but this is not worth the time, inconsistent quality, lack of urgency on the staff's part, and most of all, not worth my money. I would rather go to Dumpling World or Julie's Noodles. I'm very disappointed and sad that a place that would serve food that is so desperately desired here in South Austin has delivered such a lackluster and poor experience so early into its tenure. Oh and beef rolls were delivered finally....but to a table that sat down 30 min after me. TLDR: not a place that respects your time and money. If you're going to eat this food, you're better off ordering to go. But really, go somewhere else. 2 stars. Awarded only by chili oil and good broth. Edit: I gave up. I asked for a refund on the beef rolls. And she keeps typing the same thing into the tablet and then cancelling. I think she's playing me. Either she doesn't understand the POS system or she's just scamming me for an order. read more

Finally a dumpling spot on South Austin! The noodle and dumpling options are so tasty. But the the scallion pancakes and the green beans are amazing and so fresh. read more

Food was excellent. Understaffed but who isn't these days. Will de go back! Menu has wide variety. Dumplings were excellent

Great soup dumplings. Best I've had in Austin. Also recommend the sting beans, chili oil won tons. Din Tai Fung's younger step sibling vibes. read more

The food was great the service was good and the prices were outstanding. It's a no thrills for ambience but I'd rather have good food and lower prices. We will definitely be back read more

The customer service was amazing and everyone was very friendly! I would definitely recommend their soup dumplings and pot stickers. One of the best dumpling focused businesses in Austin! read more

This place is AWESOME! We have been here twice in a week. The food is tasty and the restaurant is clean, service is friendly! My only complaints are that the orange chicken shows not spicy but shows up with peppers in it, I wouldn't typically send it back but it was for my 9yr old and he wouldn't have eaten it spicy. I would've kept it had it been for myself. Also, the flies! They're everywhere, I know they can only control them so much. But I spent my meal swatting them away which was unfortunate. But that aside, it wouldn't keep me from coming back! I'm so glad we found a south Austin gem! read more

Very delicious and wonderful service I recommend the wonton in chili oil sauce(make sure to order it spicy since the spiciness was pretty mild despite ordering it spicy myself.)The ambiance is very casual, and restaurant was nice and clean. Will go again to try the rest of the menu! read more

Went here for lunch with a friend. I had seen it on Instagram and wanted to try it. We were seated immediately. Very clean atmosphere. The service was friendly. The food came out fast and hot. We ordered cucumber salad, soup dumplings, spicy beef udon plate, pot stickers and 2 different soups. Every thing was DELICIOUS! So glad we decided to give them a try because we will definitely be back soon! read more

See all

Hand made soup dumplings. Very delicious. Beef noodle soup very tasty. Beef roll 100% you need try.

Out of town families came in for a swim meet. The grandson wanted dim sum. My usual place did not even return my call for a reservation, so...off to the 'Net. I found this place, which ironically was about three blocks from where I lived about ten years ago. The four of us met up with an easy 6:45 reservation. We had the popcorn chicken appetizer. It was maybe the best I ever had. Very crunchy in a crunchy, maybe part cornmeal batter. I could eat a basket or two of that and be happy. Orders were all over the menu. I had Mongolian beef, grandmother had chicken fried rice. Yes, those are pretty pedestrian as Asian cuisine goes. The son-in-law had a noodle dish I'd never heard of. The grandson had pork buns and soup dumpling. My beef was tender and delicious. Great veggies. The fried rice was really tasty. My son-in-law RAVED about the quality of the noodle dish, as did the grandson who sampled it. Grandson and SIL were VERY impressed with the pork buns and soup dumplings. One caveat: dim sum takes 20 to 25 minutes. We were all but finished when his dumplings came. But, he really enjoyed it. Very reasonable prices. $86, including 20% tip. There is a glass cage/room where the guy is making the noodles by hand and machine. No factory made stuff there. As we were leaving, He was stuffing a BIG oven sheet of handmade pot stickers. I MUST go back to try them, as they have five different types. read more

I don't know the first thing about good Chinese food... I mean, I know American Chinese food, which is not the same thing... I ordered the black udon noodle with beef an order of eggrolls... This place is awesome. The udon was not too spicy, I think the eggrolls were great. I will be back to sample everything this place has to offer. The staff was really cool too. I went on their recommendations and I'm glad I did.. the decor/ambience of the restaurant is nothing great. It needs a little work... read more

Had the pork soup dumplings and kongpow chicken everything was delicious. Service is great

We tried this place for the first time. It was really good. We have the green onion pancake, soup dumplings, potstickers and Mongolian beef. The service was great. We will definitely be going back. read more

The service was good and the restaurant is very clean. The food was just OK. I had the soup dumplings and there was barely any soup in them. The taste was alright. The greens beans were delicious, though. read more

The food was good and the server was great. Only problem was Fox News(no volume) was on at a busy lunch time. I let them know I didn't think any politics should be on at a public restaurant. read more

Casual new dumpling place in south Austin. We ordered a ton of food- especially loved the wontons in spicy chili oil (we were able to adjust the spice level) and the soup dumplings. Great place to grab a quick bite & enjoyed the quality. The food came out pretty quick and waitstaff was fast to refill drinks and check on us. read more

Great food including quality and fresh ingredients. Got my order "to go", order was accurate, well packed and on time. Thank you guys!

The food is soooo good! Some dishes should be eaten in the restaurant or they will get soggy in the to go containers. For example orange chicken is crunchy when eaten in the restaurant but totally soggy by the time you get home. But other than that it is our new go to Chinese food place read more

TERRIBLE service. I unfortunately can't rate the food because we left. We (two persons) arrived 1:30p on a Thursday figuring the lunch crowd would largely be gone and it was. But, after sitting, I noticed several tables were occupied (probably 1/3 of the tables) but without drinks, silverware or menus. The waitstaff were upfront just talking and milling around. After 10 minutes or so, we were given napkins, silverware, water and menus. A different person did each task. No one took our drink order. After another 10 minutes or so, one person began taking food orders from the table closest to the front. Recognizing it was going to be quite some time before the person made it to our table in the back, we left. If you go, sit in the front and I hope you have lots of time to kill read more

Great dumplings. We went just after they opened a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will get an alcohol license.

I ordered the spicy chicken and wanted it a medium hot and it was way too spicy. The chicken seemed overcooked and seemed to be reheated and not fresh. It was also super greasy.I let our server know as she asked how was everything and she apologized. My husband ordered a beef dish and it was ok but too spicey. She did not charge us for one of the dishes. Service was good. The restaurant has been remodeled and it was nice and clean. I think we might try this place one more time but I was very disappointed with my spicey chicken dish.... read more
