    Pork with bamboo

    What a great Chinese restaurant! The service is excellent, it's usually not too busy, the prices are reasonable, and the food comes out quickly. My favorites are the walnut shrimp and the pork with bamboo shoots. So good!

    Beef Lo Mein
    Brian C.

    Came back for another dinner and had another delicious meal. Seated immediately in the spacious dining room, and food came out fast after we ordered on the iPad. This time we tried the chicken with broccoli and the pork soup dumplings, in addition to past favorites, like the beef lo mein, and a choy with garlic. Everything was very fresh and delicious, and pretty reasonably priced. We will be eating here a lot!

    Sour fish soup
    Chrissy N.

    Spicy House could be our new neighborhood gem when it comes to Asian / sichuan resto. They offer specialty dishes that we don't typically find in a typical Chinese restaurant ( I won't name names). There are so many dishes we wanted to try but today, half of the family didn't feel too well and I was craving for spicy and sour fish soup so we opted for a hearty braised pork trotter soup and the Sour snakehead Fish Soup. Spicy house did not disappoint. Got to meet the kind owner and her daughter when we dined here today. Very kind snd hard working family. The owner says the Braised Trotter soup is cooked for 4+ hours and you can really tell. It was hearty and flavorful and not at all oily! My sick son and husband enjoyed it very much and really helped them feel better after. I really enjoyed the sour fish soup. Has good amount of spice in a sour-y soup broth, generous fish slices and a bunch of veggies including mushrooms and clear potato noodles on the bottom of the huge bowl. Served with rice as well. I'm really satisfied with this dish and happy I don't need do my drive to Austin when I crave for Sichuan Mala spicy food anymore.

    This might be my new favorite sichuan restaurant in Austin! We ordered the mapo tofu, twice cooked pork, lazi chicken, and spicy boiled fish, the classic options. The depth of flavors really impressed me.

    Shredded pork chili
    Isabelle K.

    New Chinese restaurant. I ordered shredded pork chili, wonton, spicy wontons, lettuce and Woodear. My favorite is spicy wontons and shredded pork chili. Both are full of flavors and other two taste pretty light.

    This was my fourth visit to Spicy House, and at this point it's safe to say they've never missed. Every dish we ordered tonight was consistently flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I expect from good Sichuan cooking. The Mapo Tofu was silky and spicy, it does need a little more flavor. The Chengdu Hot Spicy Beef came out tender and soaked in a rich, aromatic broth layered with spices, garlic, and herbs. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp was crisp, fragrant, and perfectly seasoned -- light batter, great texture. The Pork with Bamboo was simple in the best way: tender slices of pork, crunchy bamboo shoots. After four visits, Spicy House continues to deliver reliable, delicious dishes every time. It's become one of my go‑to spots in Austin for satisfying Sichuan food, and I'll definitely be back again to keep exploring the menu.

    This was an amazing find! Absolutely delicious food, great service, fast ordering. I miss Chinese food, and Austin doesn't have a lot. I'm glad this place exists bc it has authentic Sichuan flavors.

    Pork with garlic sauce
    Justin H.

    Good food and spacious restaurant, in the old Nagoya steak and sushi location. It's spacious inside with booths and large tables available. Food service was quick and efficient and prices were reasonable.

    Steamed whole fish
    Delong B.

    Excellent. Everything was delicious and fresh. They don't OD on MSG like some other places, I won't say no names (bamboo house). If you're craving spice- they definitely got you and if you can't handle spice (myself) they got you as well.

    Nice food~ love it. Authentic Chinese food. I'm surprised that they have chopped lettuce stem.. it tastes really nice, just hard to chop.

    Family style!

My 19-year-old granddaughter is visiting from out of town, and she was so impressed with everything: the beautiful presentation, the restaurant itself, and especially the incredible flavors. We arrived around 11:30 a.m. and were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for a bit. Our waiter was wonderfully kind and attentive, checking on us throughout our meal without ever being intrusive. The wonton soup was delicious, with fresh, crisp vegetables that added the perfect crunch. The lunch special is an amazing value at $13.99. For just a $1 upcharge, you can substitute fried rice, and your meal includes an egg roll, your choice of soup, and your entrée. The portions were generous enough that we both had leftovers to take home for dinner. I ordered the Szechuan Beef, and it was absolutely outstanding.

They are in a "soft opening" phase currently, and we got to meet the owner who was very enthusiastic about his business, the community, and garnering any feedback we had. The food is - in one word, impeccable. We went in for a snack and ended up ordered 4x as much as we meant to because everything was so darn delicious. The menu consists of baos, sushi, hand rolls, adorable pearl shaped nigiri, bento, and more - they are all customizable with yummy sauces (miso butter - mmm!), and many types of protein (seriously like all the protein options you can find at a premium sushi bar). Everything is served with house made sauces so if you are a condiment gal/guy like me this is your place! Food - I had the escolar, unagi, and scallop hand rolls (all under $5 each) and was so surprised by the quality / freshness of the protein and the portions given. The escolar was so soft and buttery. I then ordered the shrimp fresh roll (also under $5, it was HUGE) and the chicken katsu baos (around $6-7) - they were amazing. The chicken tenders are panko crusted and fried crispy. BF tried the steak baos and LOVED them too. Okay also did I mention the PRICES?! You can't get quality food like that for a greater deal.

But it smelled and tasted pretty decent. They give you a good amount of meat too. The turmeric chicken was pretty good too, I really liked the seasoning on this one. The sushi was ok though. The presentations was super cute, with the little sushi balls! But the fish itself didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked. The workers were all really friendly though. You can practically see inside the whole kitchen when you walk in, so it's a little unsettling walking in and seeing all the workers like standing there waiting for you to put your order in online, but interacting with them, they were really friendly.

Soto consistently delivers beyond fresh sushi and straight from Japan specialties. Want to mix some meat with your sushi? Then go for their imported Wagyu beef. It will melt in your mouth. The prices are certainly not on the "all you can eat" sushi restaurant scale, but you are paying premium for premium. On this visit, we arrived during their happy hour. Do check out their HH menu; it is more than generous. I'm not going to bore you with our selections, but the sushi is so tender and fresh that you are insulting the chef and the fish by adding soy sauce and wasabi! One highlight was the Spicy Tuna Katsu Maki; this entrée is wrapped in a seaweed cone with asparagus, avocado, wasabi mayo, and eel sauce. Another was Uni from their imported from Japan menu. My oh my, it was so fresh and creamy! If you do not want to break the bank, their HH and lunch specials will do you right. Do make reservations if you wish to sit at the sushi bar. Speaking of bars, they have a full bar and their martinis are perfectly made. You can expect 5-star service at this 5-star restaurant. Who would have thunk that one of the best sushi restaurants (IMHO) in Austin would be in the CP and located in a strip mall next to the Dollar Tree store!

I asked for a sample, and found out that it was decent, so I ordered a full glass. My partner, Stuart, loved the hot and sour soup. He said that it was better than Qi's hot and sour soup. He really enjoyed the sesame chicken with the broccoli being a little crispy. As for my beef kare-kare, it was a new experience for me. I've only had this dish with oxtail. It is served with a lovely side of bagaoon for a burst of flavor. The leche flan was too eggy for my friend, but a nice reminder of home for me. I love when halo-halo has bits of flan on it. Today, it did, so extra flan always makes my day. Altogether, the food, cleanliness and attentive service give this restaurant 5 stars!

It is a bowl filled with rice noodles, shredded lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and your choice of protein. It also comes with a generous portion of fish sauce.

There were no other spices or sauce or anything tasty in my bowl. I was very disappointed. I didn't even eat a quarter of the Bun.
