We started off strong. Got seated right at our 8:30 reservation time which is always good. All of…read moreour food was great, pho beef dumplings, shrimp and crab fried rice, and four seasons duck. All amazing! Timing and tempo could have been better. My meal came out around 5-10 minutes after my dates meal. His was cold by the time mine came. We were done with our meals for quite a while before the server checked on us about dessert. We were told we only had 3 minutes to order dessert which was a bit off putting considering we had been ready to order at least 15 minutes prior. We got our dessert shortly before 10, and at 10:02 the house lights came on glaringly bright - aka time to get out. We hadn't even gotten our check yet. Overall the back end of the night felt rushed which put a damper on the experience. I would come back maybe during social hour or earlier in the day.

I visited this location the day after Thanksgiving with my partner. We ordered a few menu items to…read moreget a good sampling of what this location has to offer. We started by ordering bobba tea and soda (neither of which they had, yet it was still on the menu). So we elected to get mixed cocktails as there is a full bar at this location. I asked for a Hendricks and tonic. While there was tonic, there was no Hendricks. At this point, I felt like there was a pattern starting to emerge that I wouldn't be fond of. Fried Prawns When the prawns were presented, they were battered and not fried. These are two distinct methods of preparation, "battered" means a food item has been coated in a batter (a mixture of flour, liquid, and other ingredients) before frying, while "fried" simply means cooked in hot oil. Needless to say, I wasn't too keen on the panco-style prawn. In addition, the prawn were absent of flavor. Pasta Cambodia I was excited to try this dish as it seemed like an interesting mix of ingredients. I ordered this dish with two types of meats as opposed to one (chicken and beef). The beef for this dish was tough but the rest of the dish seemed to be cooked properly and the flavor profile was balanced. Crab fried rice The rice on this dish was hard. Hard rice is usually caused by not adding enough water when cooking, which prevents the rice grains from absorbing enough moisture to soften properly; essentially, the rice is undercooked due to insufficient liquid. So, it seems that while the beef on the pasta Cambodia was overcooked, the rice in the crab fried was undercooked. I do understand that every spot may have their off days and perhaps this was a day that I caught them on such a day. Swing and a few misses here.

Went to this quiet cute little place in Georgetown for our anniversary and it surprised us with…read moregood food and drinks! Service was pretty good . We ordered the Valentine's martini - limited drink for V day and a couple of food dishes - pasta Cambodia was cooked to perfection and they can customize any dish to have tofu which was great ! We did medium spicy and it was a bit on the spicier side for us so I would recommend going one level down on the spice level to be on the safe side . They will give you chilli oil if you need it to up your spice level on the side . The lettuce wraps - omg!! Was truly amazing and refreshing ! The vermicelli noodles were soft and pillowy, the chicken was cooked well and the pickled veggies added a nice depth to the flavors ! Overall, had a great experience and will be back !

A really solid pick for a nice dinner! Good pricing and really cute environment…read more Order stations are numerous and the food hit the table pretty rapidly. Other than that it's pretty much self service unless you're there for drinks as well. I will say the Asian aspect of the fusion leaves a little to be desired, as in a majority of the dishes just contain some sort of ponzu or yuzu marinade, not that it's a bad thing just wanted more. The miso mustard flavor on the potatoes is a really good combination and was hoping for more flavor fusion in that realm. But as a smokehouse it is a really solid choice. Overall, a really good place to dine!

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. My granddaughter had the Orange Chicken, and we both agreed the Szechuan Beef stole the show! Austin Elite approved! We'll definitely be back!!

The place reminded me of Ling Wu in the Grove area because the decor looked similar. Maybe they are owned by the same people? Firstly, I was impressed with the fact they had a FREE parking garage nearby since this is in the downtown area and next to Whole Foods. It took me a bit to find it as I'm directionally challenged, but I did and was just running a bit late. We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. I got the Singaporean noodles, a mezcal drink, and a sake. The serving size was big so I had plenty to take home. We shared many of the other dumplings and dim sum items. Everything was very good! The place wasn't too crowded so after we paid our bill we sat around for a while longer to chat and catch up. Usually someone would come by to see if we needed or wanted anything further, but no one did so we kept chatting and left. I'm happy to know of a central location with easy parking as a future place to meet people. I wish they had a happy hour because the bill for 3 of us was unexpectedly higher than usual.

The set up is similar to a Chipotle or Subway where you order up front and there's a variety of ingredients you can select from. To start, you get an option between rice, vermicelli, zucchini noodles or banh mi. Then you pick the protein and toppings you want. There's also no limit to the number of toppings (woohoo!). Finally for the sauce you can pick up to two. Honestly for someone who grew up eating a lot of Vietnamese food, this place is legit. The food was 5/5 for me. Both quantity and quality was there all at an affordable price. I'll definitely be coming back here.

For the bowl, you select the base of rice, salad, vermicelli noodles and you can order half/half rice and salad, select your protein like beef, chicken or pork, select your veggies and drizzle of dressings. Since it was my first time visiting, I opt to get the dressings on the side so that I can try different dressings. I've ordered the pork banhmi and rice bowl and the beef rice bowl. Out of the three, I liked the beef most because of the more tender sliced meat. The bread was too soft for my liking and I wished it was a bit more like a baguette. The rice bowl is definitely better than the banhmi. Good customer service. Water cup is available on the counter.

Pros: - Japanese Whisky selection - Bao Buns are amazing - Attentive + Friendly - Parking is easy - Covered patio seating - QR code ordering Side Notes: - Can have a wait - Changed menu (check online) - Check hours (limited) - Multiple TVs What We Got Done: - A lot of Bao Buns - A lot of Whisky, haha - Fries What We Loved: It's a family-owned restaurant, so if it's busy, they make their cocktails to food fresh, so expect a bit of a wait. They tell you to set expectations, so if you are hungry, get a drink. Their cocktails are great! They recently changed their menu to Bao-only, from Search Ahi Bao to a Grilled Veggie Bao. You can add to the bao, such as kimchi, to this extra spicy sauce for a quarter more, but if you love the heat, try it! They also have egg rolls, french fries (super crispy), noodles/rice, and chicken nuggets for drinking food (or for the kids). Their drinks are incredible. They have a lot of Japanese Whisky, so sipping on that or making a custom old-fashioned Topo Chico ice cube they make custom has a different feel. They can make you anything, and the place's vibe is a great spot to enjoy a drink or five with some close friends/family. Also, the family is great. They feel like great friends and welcome you right when you get in. The family there takes care of you, and it's not about a transaction with them; it's about the experience and giving back to the neighborhood of Cedar Park in any way they can. Opportunities To Improve: I don't have any areas to improve, except I wish they had some menu items back! The steak and ribs on the menu were incredible, so I'll surely miss those. However, the Bao Tacos are so good, and the drinks hit the spot; you can likely let the other stuff go. Summary: It is a great place to eat, drink, and watch TV if you want. During the week or as a way to open up the weekend on a FRI night, it's a great spot in Cedar Park. I highly recommend getting some tacos, them FRIES, and an excellent old fashion and chop it up with the owners! Super friendly!

He makes dining here ridiculously fun and somehow makes an already great experience even better. The music and drinks were on point. The Puff Puff Pass was the cocktail winner of the night, followed by some really good whiskey. Then came the food, and damn... Kemuri does not mess around. We shared everything and ordered in waves, starting with Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio, Charred Edamame and Taiyaki Cornbread. Next up was the Chili Cheese Takoyaki, Wagyu Short Rib Skewer and Hot Pocketz.
