The dim sum was OK. The food didn't really taste that good especially the bean curd roll. The fried rice was really good and the tofu dish we ordered. The service was great and the shop was big and clean

It's very crowded when we got there at 12:30pm on Sunday, but we were a party of 2 so we were seated within 10 mins. The food is great as always

Great dim sum, got seated right away on a Thursday right at opening. They offer 20% off on tuesdays/thursday which is also awesome! Everything came out very fresh and service was great. We need to come back for family style dinner.

After a business meeting in the area, I decided to get food from New Fortune 2. The name was intriguing and was curious why it was called New Fortune 2 v 1. New Fortune 2 located Highway 620 is a rebirth of the original New Fortune restaurant, now rebranded with a "2" to mark its fresh start. According to my server New Fortune 2 gives classic Chinese flavors a twist. Chef William Wong is the menu master. While the building is not spectacular form outside except for the two golden lions, inside you get a different perspective. When I walked in I immediately noticed three tanks of live lobsters. They currently have a lobster special underway. I am generally not a fan of seeing seafood alive and then cooked for me afterwards. Other striking areas of the restaurant is the etched glass in very interesting patterns...quite beautiful. The restaurant is quite large with a private dining area. I decided to have a lunch special - sesame chicken. It came soup, rice and a veggie egg roll. The chicken was soft and flavorful. The rice was well seasoned with every grain separated...no clumping. I really enjoyed my meal except for the hot and sour soup as it was a little too vinegary tasting. The other parts of the meal was so overwhelming good, I decided to give grace on the hot and sour soup. I got my meal to go as I had more work to do. I will definitely consider returning to try other menu items.

Austin's dim sum scene is growing which back in 2006 when I first moved to Austin, was hard to find. Then now fast forward to 2025, it's getting much better. Happy to see New Fortune moved locations from its previous one, love how plenty of parking is available. Pros: All the normal dishes are fresh and amazing. From each individual dumpling, to the soft taro cake, to the tangy and spicy dumplings, every dish was great. I was very happy to try all my favorites such as the bean curd, the beef tripe, all the dishes are a must try. Great chew on all dishes, beautifully created each dish, fast service, and attentive servers. Every dish was a 5/5, you will not be disappointed. Cons: I will say, I had the dimsum at the restaurant and left overs for dinner. I have a very strong lingering msg dry mouth. I ate the leftovers without soy sauce and I still have a strong dry mouth taste. I know it's msg and to me, it's tooooooooo much msg, to me, the flavors are soo great, they don't need msg. I probably drank 2 cups of water. The dishes are expensive, I mean to compare dim sum in Austin from Houston or Dallas, Austin is expensive. I get it, if you want it, you have to pay it and prices here are too high. I get it so I can justify it. Har Gow for $7 wow, that's a lot, normally it's $4.95 but it is what it is. Most dim sum dishes I had experienced in the past range between $4.95 to $7 but to see the pricing across the board on all dishes high priced, it's fine to eat and try once in a while. Some of the dishes came cold, most dishes I would expect to come hot but some dishes came out cold which was disappointing but dam it still tasted good. I wish 4-5 dishes I got were cold to hot. For ex: the soup dumplings came cold inside, the fried shrimp was cold, the spicy dumplings were cold. Beef tripe was cold. But it's fine to try for my first time. Let's hope the 2nd time I try will be hotter.

Located right on the cusp of northwest Austin and Cedar Park, this newest dim sum spot satisfied my latest dim sum craving! The seating inside as well as the menu size isn't as big as the new dim sum restaurant in old Chinatown Austin (Tian Tian Golden Palace Seafood & Dim Sum), but I was pleasantly surprised our party of 3 arrived around noon on a Saturday and didn't have to wait for our seats. The second we sat down, the waiters rolled over their carts and we literally had food brought to the table within the first minute haha! In general though, none of the items we ordered exceeded my expectations. Again, they satisfied my dim sum craving but I was unfortunately not impressed by the flavors. I felt like the chicken feet and soup dumplings were a bit bland and some of the food items weren't as warm as I had hoped for. That being said, the service was quick and efficient today so I'd give my overall rating a 3.5/5.

I think I've finally found a true authentic Chinese Food restaurant. For those of you who have been following me, you know I've been on a mission since 2019 to find a true authentic Chinese food eatery. I've had success with "Din Ho", and a few others traditional spots. While scrolling thru Yelp, I was attracted to the reviews of "New Fortune 2". Based on the reviews people were loving it. So we decided to give it a try. Arrived about 4:45 on a Thursday, seated immediately by "Eric", as there were only three other couples there. The set up is really nice. Tables are set rather close together so I can imagine when it's close to full occupancy it might be a bit crowded. Inside and outside the appearance is very unique. The interior is very clean, with an Asian theme. We ordered Orange Chicken, Combination Pan Fried Noodles with Beef, Chickenans Shrimp. We also had Pan Friend Pork Dumplings. I've been on a search for good Orange Chicken for years. My search is over. The Orange Chicken here is prepared perfectly. The balance of sweet and savory was perfect. We ordered it without the heat as my wife can't handle it. It was also served with a side of sticky rice. We got a fairly moderate portion of chicken, yet a small serving of rice in a little bowl. Could have used a second scoop of rice. The Pan Fried Pork Dumplings were delicious. Larger than most and packed with meat and flavor. The pork filling was tender and juicy. If I was hungrier I would have ordered more. I can't wait till I bring my friends and we sample more items on their vast menu. Apparently this is their second location. Glad to see they have expanded. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx.

I am thankful that there's a dim sum place where you can get a cart service experience but I think this place is overhyped. The food was mid at best and sadly I have had better frozen dim sum. The soup dumplings were pretty good and I recommend going for that. Service was okay, I witness some tension between their own staff members.

Came here a month ago since there's not a lot of Dim sum here in the Austin area and per usual I'd have to say this is the Go to for Dim sum here. I went to the previous "New Fortune," and they are very similar, quite obviously, since they have the same ownership. My friend and I got here right when they opened on a Saturday morning, so there was not a long wait, and there was an abundance of food served on dim sum carts. We had to wave the service staff away since there weren't that many people compared to the amount of food being carted around. The dim sum here satisfies all of my cravings, especially all the dumplings (siu mai, har gow, soup dumplings, etc.). They also have great egg tarts, so much so that my friend ordered an additional set to take home. Whenever I get a dim sum craving this will be the place to go so we aren't driving all the way out to Houston.

This place always seems packed but the wait is never too long. Bustling ambiance during dim sum service with servers pushing carts. A bit more expensive than in CA where prices range from $3 up, this was still fairly priced. I tried the salt and pepper shrimp ($8). This was an 8/10 - even though not "hot" the shrimp weee light, plump and still crispy. Decent portion - this would have been plenty of food. (8/10) I saw Shaking Beef on the menu and couldn't not order that too. Huge portion and absolutely delicious! ($20). Perfectly cooked - highly recommend. (8.5/10) Lastly, on impulse I ordered the shrimp toast. 3 pcs for $7. These were a miss - super greasy. (3/10) I should have skipped that. The service was fine and the food carts kept coming by. I'll be back!

First round.

12.25.2025. My husband and I have been here a few times and our most recent visit was on Christmas Day. New Fortune was recommeded by friends who lived in Cedar Park and Austin for awhile. I was quite surprised to see a line outside the door on Christmas Day. The space inside is bright, spacious, and clean with tables ready to host groups of 4 or more. As for cart service dining it was a good experience. Overall food quality is good. Highly recommend ordering veggies from the menu as dim sum is mostly yummy carbs and some protein.

Always enjoyed coming here, weekend dim sums are fantastic too! The food is great and authentic! I especially love the thinly sliced chicken breast!! Always feel like I am visiting Hong Kong again!!!

Weekday dim sum

OVERVIEW: Great dim sum, excellent service, wide variety menu, and reasonably priced! We visited on a Thursday morning during their Tuesday/Thursday lunch special (20% off the entire menu, except for lobster and crab - as of 6/8/2025). Hot tea was also complimentary in the morning, which was nice. The location is a bit weird, tucked between a gas station and a boat dealer, but overall experience was great and I will revisit! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, their own lot with ample spaces. - Reservations? No, just walk in. There may be more of a wait on the weekends or during holidays. FOOD RATINGS: Overall, we enjoyed all of the dim sum we ordered minus the soup dumplings, which tasted like frozen Trader Joe's or Costco dumplings. The spicy wontons, shrimp rice rolls, har gow, and sticky rice were great! We ended our order with the sweet steamed egg custard buns and it was perfect.

Reviews are largely positive. Diners praise the fresh dim sum variety, attentive and friendly service, and a lively and clean atmosphere.

I wish I lived here so I could dine here all the time…read more Martin was our server and made great recommendations. He made us feel right at home.

Hope to come back and try more dishes during our visit to Austin. Highly recommend.

Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum has some real standouts!…read more The scallion pancake with chicken curry dip was outstanding, and Lin's soup dumplings remain my absolute favorite! The crispy jalapeño shrimp were perfectly cooked, and both the green beans and mustard greens were delicious. The braised pork shank with steamed buns was tender, but a little bland and not something I'd order again. The desserts looked unique and beautiful, but the taste didn't quite live up to the presentation with mine. My husband enjoyed his. Our server was wonderful, and a big thank you to my fellow Yelpers whose recommendations helped me choose some winners! Would I come back? Absolutely! Those soup dumplings and scallion pancakes are calling my name already! If the weather is nice and you're able to sit at tall tables, reserve the patio. It looked like a great place to enjoy dinner. Accessibility note: Parking in the back is very limited, with additional unpaved parking beyond a chain-link fence. The patio isn't wheelchair accessible, and navigating the closely spaced indoor tables can be a bit challenging.

There is now a waitress that you can place an order instead of the QR code system. The business have taken customer feedback and made adjustments to their business which I appreciate. Our Waitress is Amanda is Super friendly and provided great service. She was attentive and checked in with us often. Neat fact about Shanghai is they make the dumplings fresh and daily in house. No frozen dumplings and you can definitely taste the difference. This is the only dim sum place that I love and go to. They do not disappoint and for the most part is really consistent with their dim sum. The price is comparable to other dim sum places in Austin. My regular 5/5 favorites * pork shrimp sumai * shrimp eggplant- * pork puff * shrimp chive pan fried dumplings * black bean pork * chicken feet * fried shrimp ball * sesame balls Something new added to my favorite: * fried chicken dumpling - they were so kind to give us this complimentary dim sum and I am so glad they let us tried it because I usually don't order the chicken dumplings. I am surprise how good these fried chicken dumplings are. The texture of the chicken is bouncy yet juicy. And the flavor of the chicken with the veggies was really good. Do I recommend this place? Yes Best dim sum in town! Authentic. Made freshly daily. No weird fillers. Fresh dim sum. Go get itttttt!

I love the inside aesthetic and vibe of the restaurant. It is a perfect size and has a lot of different table options for both larger and smaller groups, and the seats were comfortable and setting intimate. The service was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about gluten free options, explained the menu to me so I knew what I could eat safely with my gluten allergy, and even mentioned that they had gluten free dumplings off menu to which I quickly said, "Yes please!" Everything is traditional Sichuan, farm to table, and organic. The quality of the food was excellent, and outside of the dumplings, I could not tell the food was gluten free modified. The dumpling wrapper was most likely rice, but the pork filling was so good - it had subtle ginger notes and a sweet pork which was lovely. The Sichuan Deep Fried Chicken was hard to stop eating, but we had to because we had entrees coming! Definitely enough to feed 4 people as an appetizer, not too spicy, perfectly breaded and fried, and the chicken was super tender. We also got the Wok Toasted Cumin Lamb and the Chengdu Chili Chicken. The chicken was tender and perfectly cooked with veggies and a subtlety spicy sauce that wasn't drowning the food and the flavors. I love Sichuan food because the veggies aren't cooked until soft, so they still had a fresh snap to them and complimented the spicy chicken well. The lamb is one of those dishes that you eat knowing that as you let it sit longer it will only keep getting better. I love the way the lamb was breaded/coated. Sometimes you have coated meat and it is not properly fried or some areas are dry, and then it isn't strongly seasoned so it tastes blah. Not this lamb! The seasoning, flavors, all shined bright with this beautifully tender lamb, and I also loved how it wasn't drowning in sauce which would have softened the subtle crunch. We took some home and about 3H later it was even better. Loved this dish! I also got their smashed pumpkin cocktail which may seem steep at $23, but oh was it delectable and worth every dime for some quality bourbon and nicely balanced fall pumpkin drink. If you're looking for something sweet, this isn't it, but you actually still taste the bourbon (which is delicious) and subtle pumpkin, and it was DELICIOUS. Overall, 5/5 hands down, and I'm only sad we didn't come sooner!

They do tend to get busy, as one would expect for such a limited window of opportunity, so come armed with patience. Even if it takes a bit to get a table, service is fast as can be. You'll be chowing down in no time once you can secure a seat. If you ask me, the crispy turnip cakes with shiitake are a must. It's so hard to find this made without meat or seafood, and they're doing it right. The braised eggplant is a close second favorite, but it is admittedly a large entree, not dim sum, though that's a good thing because it means you can order it any day, any time. The spicy cucumbers were also excellent, refreshing and crisp, perfect as a palate cleanser or started. Next time, I might skip the veggie dumplings, which were fine, but tasted mostly of cabbage, and little else. Most importantly, come with a crowd so you can order all the things and share around. That's the point of dim sum, after all.
