    I had the jalapeño beef, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The crab Rangoon was a bit flat but had a normal amount of filling and tasted good. The jalapeño beef was loaded with jalapeños and red and green bell peppers, with a flavorful sauce and tender, not-too-fatty beef, actual beef. This is the kind of Chinese food I've been looking for in Austin. The food tasted fresh, and like it was made with care, with generous portions. The customer service was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. You can tell they take pride in both their food and service. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and it looked nice. I'll be back when I'm in the area and have a craving for Chinese food.

    The food here is so delicious and fresh. We ordered the egg drop soup, crab rangoon, cashew chicken & honey walnut shrimp (both with a side of brown rice). The service was so wonderful too - they even called me to double check I knew I had ordered pickup from the Leander location (since they have another location in Georgetown). It's located in a wonderful little complex that has lots of lovely small businesses and shops. We will definitely be regulars here!

    OK, NOW, my husband and I finally came IN to the restaurant. So, now I can say, they have GREAT service! As soon as you walk in they direct you to a table, and waitress was right there. Even though we knew the menu from ordering thru the delivery app, we wanted to try a couple other things. The two main things we KNEW we had to order again though were the deep fried dumplings as an appitzer and the Singapore Noodles. OMG, They were both great! I am telling you, the Singapore noodles is something I have never seen at any other Asian restaurant, and it is the best item on their menu! Now, for entree, my husband tried the Szechuan Beef and Scallops. I tried it, and not as spicy, as thought it would be, by it's name, and looked like not a lot on the plate. I got the Happy Family (Shrimp, Scallops, Beef and chicken with mixed vegetables in brown sauce). Again, I like getting all the meats (like the Singapore noodles and in the past the combination fried rice). It was very good, not over sauced (like some places do). We finished our plates! (*took rice home, as noodles filled us up). The thing I love about this place is is had dishes you don't see at other places. Yes, they have your "traditional dishes"...and if you want that, fine. But, when I go to a restaurant, I look for items that are different. So, always go to their "Specialties" section! You will not be disappointed! Will keep eating (delivery and inside). Great food and great service!

    We stopped in for dinner on a Sunday night 7:30. We were sat right away, very clean restaurant and super friendly staff. We ordered orange chicken based on the amount of reviews that mentioned it. It did not disappoint-very fresh, great flavor and generous portion sizes. We also tried the sesame chicken, served with steamed rice. I found the flavor to be really good, and the chicken was cooked well. I will definitely come back for this alone. For starters we tried the egg rolls, won ton soup and egg drop soup--all wonderful. The iced tea was so good I got some to go! Definitely give this location a try, you will not be disappointed.

    Steamed Vegetables with Shrimp (H06), comes with Brown Sauce and a I opted for Brown Rice

    I came here with my family after driving home from college after spring break. For the appetizer I got to try one of their Egg Rolls which came out hot, fast (~5-7 min), and crispy. It was filled with what tasted like pork, cabbage, and carrots and was very well-seasoned so I recommend trying it out. The Steamed Vegetables with Shrimp has a side of Brown Sauce and your choice of white, brown, or fried rice. I opted for the brown rice which was soft, fluffy, and moist so no complaints there. The shrimp was cooked beautifully and was surprisingly tender and the brown sauce was sweet and garlicky. So if you enjoy garlic like me it's a win. However, I do think the vegetables could have been cooked more as they were a bit too crunchy for my liking, but overall not bad! Service and ambience were phenomenal. The staff was very quick in bringing out our food and were very kind and sociable. In addition, the place was very clean and the bathroom was spotless! Overall, if you're driving through Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Leander, I would check this place out.

    The food was very good. New go to for Chinese, but the wait time is almost an hour. Success has its drawbacks.

    The food was extra flavorable, more than I could eat, well presented. Best I have had a long time. I found a new favorite place to eat!

    The food was good but the owner will not turn on the ac so it is really hot in the restaurant.

    Soooo good! I asked on next-door what was good for Chinese food near me, several people recommended…read moretwin panda although it was a little further than I wanted to drive I'm glad I did! Shrimp and walnut prawn very delicious good size portion nice big shrimp and not gooey . Combination fried rice has plenty of meat. Great flavor and shockingly also has large shrimp. Mongolian beef because I thought I had to give it a try most Asian places I am very particular and don't like chewy meat. Very good not chewy! Bakmi Ayam noodles with chicken and mushroom very good. I like this more than I thought I would. I also appreciate that it had fresh greens on top. it's also served with some chicken broth. I did not use it yet, smells amazing though. When I walked in, I was greeted by two friendly young ladies. I placed my order and waited. I do not have a large waiting area. They also do not have a large dining room. I would love to come back and bring friends as it's a very cute place and the staff is very friendly. Small and casual decor would be a great place to come with friends. They do have some Asian beer in the back cooler. I can see from where I am standing. I apologize, not taking a photo of each dish however I didn't think about it until after I made my plate.

    Soulful flavors and a welcoming vibe defines this restaurant. The hostess was so polite and…read morefriendly. The restaurant is small yet cozy, decorated with Asian themed art. We ordered the tofu hot pot with chicken and vegetables. It comes with a side of white rice. The dish is prepared in a spicy sauce, served in a clay pot. The Indonesian rice noodles with tofu, vegetables and egg were very tasty. We were also offered complimentary wontons with sweet and sour sauce as a starter.
