    I love this place because the staff is so friendly. Everyone greeted us when we walked in and the hostess seemed interested in asking about our day. For dinner we had their fried egg rolls and the shaken beef, which seems to be one of their specialties. It was very flavorful and delicious! Then on the way out we got a nice little bottle of wine as a gift for being new customers! We definitely will come back when we're in the area.

    The friendliest staff and owner. We had shaken beef and it was so tender and delicious. Presentation was beautiful. Their egg rolls were also super tasty and full of meat! The place is cute and has an aquarium in the back. If we lived closer, we'd be here a lot!

    Chicken Curry
    Rolando N.

    5 stars for the Pho alone. The Pho was flavorful and savory. It was very much like the ones we had in Vietnam. The portion is massive with plenty of noodles and beef. The chicken curry was also tasty. Service was very friendly.

    Duck Curry
    Karen S.

    Great vibe with comfy booths. Last night I shared the Beef Lemongrass (plenty for two). Tonight I had the Duck Curry. Not very spicy with red peppers and delicious grilled pineapple! Both nights the meal ended with a surprise taste of complimentary Crème Brûlée. Perfect restaurant for a family gathering or birthday dinner!

    Shaken Chicken Wok

    Probably the best Vietnamese food we've ever had! My wife and I went in for dinner tonight and were incredibly impressed with both the atmosphere and the food. We got shrimp spring rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious! For our meals, my wife ordered the shrimp vermicelli and I ordered the shaken chicken wok. From the moment the food hit our mouths, we were in heaven! The sauce on the shaken chicken wok was smokey with a slight sweet taste. My wife mentioned this is probably the best vermicelli she's ever had even outside of New York City. Afterwards, we were offered their crème brûlée. To say it instantly melted in our mouths would be an understatement. It was perfectly cooked with a slight crunchy glaze. The atmosphere inside was calming and beautiful. Soft, soothing music accompanied the stunning visuals of each of the hand, painted murals. Don't forget to check out the outside koi pond! I simply cannot express how amazing Old Saigon is! Both Liem and Jen, along with their children Chrissy and Alex, and staff have done an incredible job with this new edition to the Steiner food community!

    Shaken Beef
    Rich C.

    Family owned and they definitely thought of everything from ambiance to fresh flavorful food! Loved the plants, fish tank and calm background music. Easy place for conversation, and the staff is super friendly and attentive. They went out of their way for our peanut allergy and surprised us with a taste of their creme brûlée. Ordered the crab spring rolls, Shaken Beef and specialty Pho. All excellent and had plenty extra to take home! Will definitely come back and look forward to trying more of their dishes! A true gem nestled in the middle of Steiner Ranch neighborhood.

    Our first experience with this restaurant goes back to their location in Houston. Unfortunately for us they relocated to Austin. The food was always so good that the drive didn't matter when we found out their new restaurant opened. After trying restaurant after restaurant we were always left missing their recipes. It's safe to say that our favorite place somehow found a way to become even better. Their food and our service will always be worth the drive.

    We had great service. My crispy salmon was a tad bit dry but still good. The lemon grass beef vermicelli was excellent!

The staff are also so efficient and kind whenever I've visited. I always get a beef noodle soup and douse it in spicy sauce and vinegar. The broth is always so warm and comforting and they give very generous portions of meat. The noodles are my favorite part as they are so long and thick and you can taste how fresh they are. They soak up the broth perfectly. As a pairing, I always get the mix dumpling plate. You can really tell that they make them in-house because of how unique and fresh they taste. The dumpling skins are so light and taste amazing. A top-tier spot in Austin.

Got the Pork and Shrimp boiled dumplings 12 pcs. $12.75 The dish arrived with 10 minutes. A plateful of dumplings and empty cup for condiments. I thought there would be a dipping sauce. The dumplings were flavorful without a sauce although I would have enjoyed an option. I added some chili sauce to the empty dish and spiced up things. By the end I was completely full and satisfied. Washed down with some authentic bottled green tea.

I ordered hot and sour pork soup. I had never had hot and sour soup with meat. Portions were generous, ingredients fresh, and the food arrived smoking hot. The noodles were soft, smooth and flavorful. The pork inside looked like tiny meatballs. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the restaurant was completely full and customers were continuing to flow in. Because the restaurant is rather small, I had to wait about 20 minutes for my order. Jim, one of the owners, said if I had ordered 3 items it would take about 45 minutes, that's why I went with one. You could easily tell that many folks at the restaurant were regulars, which means the food, service or both were exceptional. Definitely will be returning to Three Gorges...

The cumin seeds give it that signature earthy, aromatic flavor and you get a slight tingly numbing spice sensation from the chilis and peppercorn. The lamb is not overly gamey, but it still does taste like lamb so if you are not really a lamb fan, I'd choose something else. - Jumping Fish: A very popular dish! Tender white fish fillets that is so soft it melts in your mouth. It is in a flavorful oil and broth that is refreshing from the fresh jalapenos. It is a savory dish, yet still relatively mild. It commes with napa cabbage as well! This was my favorite dish and I loved the flavor combined with the white rice. - Mapo Tofu (Vegetarian): They have one with pork as well, but I got the vegetarian version. Silky soft tofu cubes in that signature mapo tofu sauce and numbing peppercorns. Despite the appearance of all the dishes, none of them were very spicy. Overall, a comforting soft, spicy, savory dish with a slight tingle. - Eggplant in garlic sauce: A deliciously sweet and umami garlic sauce. The eggplants could have been a bit more cooked through in my opinion though since it was still quite firm. I loved it still! Note that all the dishes to me were not spicy just had an underlying subtle spice or tingle (like a finishing flavor note if you will). Also, since it is sichuan the dishes are on the oilier side. You order with the cashier at the front and pay up front as well. Food comes out quickly. It is a small space with three rows of tables (maybe around 12-15 tables give or take), so it does fill up fast. I went at around 5:40 PM on a Thursday and there was no wait, but by the time we finished eating at around 7PM, the restaurant was full. House of Three Gorges was hyped up a lot on my social media feed and through word of mouth, so I came in with high expectations. Luckily, they did not disappoint.
