    General Tao's Children
    Kathleen R.

    First time trying this place. I first have to say I'm jaded by authentic Vietnamese cuisine and this, though owners are Vietnamese and their recipes the cooks are not. Yes it does make a difference. The Thai tea was watered down and had no flavor, bland. The Vietnamese egg rolls were ok, not great and not as crispy as traditional rice paper egg rolls. You get 2 thinly rolled egg rolls as appetizer with a large lettuce leaf, missing the cilantro. The pork though it taste good it lacks the true spices that's it's usually grilled with. It came with lettuce carrots cucumber and bean sprouts. The fish sauce was a little too vinegar but add hot sauce it was better. I can't review the general Tao dish because I didn't try it. My husband however liked it and took home his leftovers. I would try it again when in the area but not go out of my way as I do to go to San Marcos for pho. Staff was pleasant enough but very rushed. We like the casual atmosphere with tv playing sports over the nice bar. Look like a full bar menu. Prices are higher than you'd expect to pay but you are in Belterra.

    Best Bahn Mi outside the city. I crave those sandwiches. Staff is polity & friendly. Bright interior with lots of plants. Just a great place to hang out, sip a beer, and enjoy some good food.

    Large combination pho

    I'm so sad that the service here was this horrible. There were 6 workers and 7 parties dining in. I could see they were getting a lot of take out orders too but goodness. This was pretty bad. I came at 4pm on a Sunday, when one would expect great and attentive service.. I had 4 in my party. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 order of spring rolls and 1 order of Thai chicken wings. These came out relatively slow. But we were long done with these and no one had taken our main order. After flagging down someone, we ordered 2 combination pho, 1 pork banh mi, and 1 salt and pepper squid entree. Nothing was written down. One of the 2 phos came out 10 minutes before anything else, then a shrimp dish (that no one ordered) the banh mi, and then another bowl of pho. The squid plate came out last, the vegetables were very well cut and presented by the portion and size of squid pieces were underwhelming. The pho was good but there were no herb/veggie plate to accompany it. After asking for some, a very sad plate came out that looked half eaten/unused by another person. I was very sadden by this experience bc I love Vietnamese food and this location is so close to us. I hope they are able to hire more help/train their current staff better... Our meals cost a total of $65.

    My husband ordered take out tonight including the ribeye pho. He got home, opened the container and the beef was raw. Not just rare .... actually RAW. The bag of vegetable toppings did not look fresh either .

    Update to my review: This restaurant has stepped up and repaired all of the things that affected our experience last time. Our server, Michael G was very attentive and the food came out very quickly and was as good as we remembered. We had the beef pho (p2) and chicken pho, and cream cheese wontons. With the experience improved, I would definitely recommend this restaurant once again.

    Took my friend who was born and raised in Vietnam and he was surprised by the flavor of the pho broth and enjoys the pork vermicelli regularly. Can't go wrong with the food here, pho is perfect for the cold weather. Friendly service, ample portions and overal a good variety of pan-Asian flavors/dishes

    I ordered a Bahn Mi sandwich and the bread was awful. And it wasn't authentic. Honestly, it's the worst Vietnamese food I've ever had. Sad!

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.
