Definitely recommend this place!

The jumping fish and green beans have always been my favorite, but this time, I tried the Dry Pot Lamb as well. It was so good! I usually don't enjoy the gamey taste of lamb, but somehow the meat tasted more like beef, but more tender! Service is always fast. Very minimal interaction besides ordering up front. But hey, you come here for a tastey and reasonably priced meal, not the service!

On Sundays, we eat Chinese! At least when mom's in town, or a special occasion, or (another rare…read moreoccasion) she's not cooking. Located in the TARGET shopping center, they're spicy like DASHI, casual like AUSTIN - open for counter service 11-2 & 4:30-8:30 TU-SUN (closed MON) & delivered by UBER EATS + DOORDASH. More reasons to break out of the house: HIGHLY DECORATED & AWARDED by INFATUATION, EATER, AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN & CHOWHOUND. Texans will love the heat on the CHONGQING MALA CHICKEN with LOTS of jalapeño & Sichuan pepper, but there's little dimension to the flavors beyond HOT, HOT, HOT! EGG ROLLS are satisfying with a traditional sweet & sour. VERY impressed with a BEEF BRISKET & RADISH SOUP - a rich yet delicate broth cradles simple ingredients, the radish absorbing hearty flavors but maintaining nourishing vegetal properties. I love the way they "KEEP AUSTIN SPICY" and am looking forward to some house specials upon return.

The restaurant is never 100% clean. The best way to eat is with chopsticks. My favorite dishes are the Kung Pao chicken, the General Tso's (it's weirdly spicy), and any lo mein dish. The serving sizes are bigger than your face and will literally feed you three times. Stick with water w/ lemon and you'll be able to leave spending under $20 and have three meals. I promise it's worth dining in. You'll be surprised when you see that your plate is just for you!

I met a couple of friends here last week for an early (before 5pm) get together that I thought was…read morea happy hour, but turns out they don't have happy hour so we paid regular prices. 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.

This might be the best dim sum in Austin now…read more I actually had never eaten at Shanghai having grown up in Austin. I didn't have their food until around COVID when we got dim sum to go a few times. I remember at that time thinking it was pretty unremarkable, and also quite expensive for dim sum. Fast forward to this year. I'm not sure if they have new ownership or new cooks, but the difference is night and day. I've been a couple of times now for dine-in in dim sum and each time was awesome. You can order off the menu or by QR code. They definitely focus on the classics but they're all executed really well. Standouts for me were the pan fried turnip cake, full of turnip and super sweet, the shrimp and leek pan fried dumplings, shrimp stuffed eggplant, and chili wonton. What makes them unique to me is that the food is all cooked to order and comes out hot and fresh. The fried items are crispy and hot and everything else you can tell just came straight from the kitchen. This avoids the one issue with carts which is that the food has been cooked who knows when and has just been sitting in a steam cart for an unknown amount of time. Also since you order off the menu, you can get exactly what you want instead of having to wait for a cart to come by. The service is always friendly and I've never had to wait to be seated, even on a weekend. If you haven't come here in awhile or written it off in the past, I'd encourage you to come and try it again. Right now it's a hidden gem but if more people realize how much better it is now, it might not be for long. Also bonus points for being a dim sum place that's not super far north like New Fortune 2 or Golden Palace.
