Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they repeatedly told us not to rush. We never felt limited in what we could order or pressured to finish up and leave, which we really appreciated. And the food delivered! Everything came out fresh, hot, flavorful, and legit. I'd give the food a solid 4.5/5, but the service was an easy 10/10. Great food, exceptional hospitality, and an all-around great experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

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.

The establishment outside is run down but we were surprise to see the inside booths/tables were nicer than the outside. There are live tanks of seafood when you walk in. You need to wait to be seated. Service was good and food came pretty fast. We ordered the general tso chicken lunch special which comes with hot and sour soup. Lunch special is from 11am-3pm Monday-Friday. The general tso chicken is salty and was not well balance. The chicken was dry. It was lightly battered and fried. The sauce was one note. The stir fried flat noodles N12 combination was under seasoned and needed more soy sauce. The squid was not seasoned at all. The shrimp was imported shrimp and was not good. There were still poop lines in the shrimp. You didn't get any smokiness from the soy sauce at all. Do I recommend this place? This place was a staple in atx but with my Overall experience with the food quality I cannot recommend this place. We have had the roasted pork before and it was ok. Not the best we ever had but meh. Where we were seated we can hear the cooks yelling at each other in the kitchen. There are other restaurants in Austin that are way better.

We got the spicy stir-fried handmade noodles with beef and hot and sour soup dumplings with pork and cabbage. The soup dumplings were a bit too sour for my taste. The dough was really good, but the flavor just wasn't for me, so I wouldn't order these again. The handmade noodles, were good! They had a great chewy texture and lots of flavor with a little heat. At first, I thought they were a bit skimpy on the meat, but then I discovered most of it was hiding at the bottom. The ratio was definitely a little off, but once I mixed everything together, it was great. I'll definitely come back for the spicy beef noodles.

The most generous portions of food are served at Din Ho. If you're a big meat eater then you need…read moreto try this place at least once. The triple meat BBQ sampler will keep you full for at least a couple of meals and you'll probably need a salad and fiber pill afterwards. The sauces and marinade are all very good, but the meat cuts were hit and miss. Some pieces are objectively too hard to bite through or too fatty to enjoy. The duck is good but very bone heavy. The noodles dishes are nothing exciting and are msg forward. Not a bad thing in general, but that shouldn't be the only thing I taste. The menu is so large that it's almost a novel. There are hundreds of options which makes it overwhelming to chose from. That means this restaurant is best visited with a hungry friend or ideally a large group to go full family style. It's worth a visit no matter the party size.

The food not only came fast, but hit the spot! Everything had a good flavor and texture for the most part. But the Squid Special Salt was a bit overcooked, and we would've liked the breading to be a bit crispier rather than stale-tasting. We also didn't enjoy the Sizzling Steak as much because it was saucy, and it didn't appeal to our taste buds. Overall we enjoyed our experience here for a simple chinese dinner. I highly recommend the Salted Fish Chicken Fried Rice and Bass Filet Special Salt.

Probably should have gone somewhere else. So I walked in the location.There wasn't very many people in there.There was two employees, both of them were on the computers.They pretty much ignored me for a couple of minutes before they decided to come.And help me.I looked over the menu fairly quickly.I already knew what I wanted.I wanted the combination fried rice.I noticed that it's said that the fried rice had scallops in it had never tried it before.So decided to give it a try.I was sadly disappointed. First off, I'm gonna start with. I've had scallops in the past and the scallops that they had in there or whatever they where were extremely fishy to the point of the entire Fried Rice tasted like fish. I ate the majority of the Fried Rice. It left an oily fishy taste in my mouth. I was just so hungry. I ate it and I fell asleep. I noticed that I started getting rumble guts in the middle of the night and yeah, you can figure it out from there. I think next time I'll probably steer clear of this place.And I do come to brian college station quite a bit after I ate there.The next night, one of the guys told me that I shouldn't have eaten there. Just walking in the location didn't look very clean.Look kinda unkepped. Would I ever come back? Probably not more like, definitely not. If you want to try it, try it out. Maybe I just had a bad experience.But yeah it wasn't for me. Combo fried rice 1 outa 10 just nasty fishy taste i have never had scallops in Fried Rice. In my entire life until that day I would never have it again. Location 2 outa 10 looked unclean Service 1 outa 10 staff was more interested in the lap top next to the bar.

When it came time to have a birthday party at my house, I opted to pick up a few trays here as well. I chose the bbq pork fried rice and chicken soft noodle. Each tray was probably 10 servings and about $45 each. They were devoured. Completely delicious and well worth the cost. My one complaint, however, is that I called in the catering order the day before and they took down my phone number and time I'd show up to pick up. When I arrived at the restaurant to pick up, the note was pasted to their board but my food was not ready. They started making it after I showed up! I had to wait 15 minutes for it to be ready. I kind of expected it to be ready when I said I'd be there.
