    I really enjoyed this place! The food was really good, I got the scallion pancake that was fluffy, and vegan lo mein with tofu. Everything was delicious. The waiter was very helpful and honest and gave good recommendations. The vibe was really cute, they had good decor, nice seating and fun music. I had enough food for at least two meals. Definitely recommend and will be back!

    I really wanted this to be better. I see the reviews on Yelp. Follow their instagram. But our experience was mid at best. Late lunch on a Thursday and the place was empty. Server was nice and helpful. No sushi at lunch, at least at the time we went. We hit up a few of the standards that were recommended. I don't know , just hate to say it nothing special. I am sure others have had better times. Probably not going back.

    Wanted to come here during the day for some cold sushi but that is only during dinner time. So we settled on cold noodles. Food was still good, would be even better if the cold noodles had beef shanks as an option instead of just tofu and chicken. The fried eggplants were good but nothing to rave about.

    No sushi until dinner. That was a bummer considering I wasn't in much of a mood for anything heavy or fried. We got wood ear mushrooms, cold noodles, and fried eggplant. Like their cold noodles so it was a good substitution for sushi. I didn't really touch the eggplant because I didn't want fried food, so it was all for my boyfriend

    Spicy wonton was good. Other dishes like Dumpling and scallion pancake etc were okay. Will be back to try other dishes in the future. We came during dinner time and the service was slow. It took a while to get food, get a bowl or chopsticks etc. it's a good restaurant to hang out and saw some people on date night. Very relaxed vibe. Some good paintings on the wall. The decorating feels like home.

    This is one of the few Taiwanese restaurants in Austin, but overall, I found it just okay. Given the limited competition, it may be worth a visit when you're really craving Taiwanese food, but I've had better versions of these dishes elsewhere--and even made some better at home. At this price point, the quality and flavors did not feel worth it to me.

    Sweet Chive has been blowing up on another platform so hard to give this a try. Came for family dinner night. Wow! This was not a disappointment!!! It's a total mom n pop small place packed full of goodness. Literally everything is made from scratch and so amazingly fresh. Thank you influencer Caroline for the hype! Starter off with the pancakes and chili vegan. Both so very tasty and fresh n hot! The chili sauce packed a punch but not overwhelming. You would not even know they were vegan at all. Let's talk about this beautiful egg! No idea how it's made but it has the most unique flavor. Normally I can pick out an herb or flavor, nope not at all. Has the most distinctive taste and so very pretty too when it arrives! All of our mains were so delicious! I had the dumplings myself but did try a bit of everyone's meals and they were all perfectly flavored. If you are wanting to have everyone's Neal come at the same time, not here. You get your food pipping hot straight from the kitchen. Which was great. No heat lamps here. Service was great. We believe the owners came out and checked on us and of course we raved. It was packed for a rainy cold Saturday night but it was warm and kind inside. Parking is limited so be prepared to find street parking. Thanks Caroline for the recommendation!!!

    We absolutely love the food here! Some of the best Taiwanese i've ever had. We started with the pork belly sliders and dumplings. Although we preferred the sliders, the dumplings were tasty. I had the pork noodle soup and my husband had the beef noodle soup. Truly a very tough choice to what was our favorite. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service. I can't wait to come back!

    This restaurant serves both Taiwanese and Japanese food. We were immediately drawn to the beef noodle soup, which was a very comforting warm meal. My friend ordered the chive pocket but was then told shortly after that they were out of it. I do think most of the menu items seem like quite the small portions for a high price. The beef noodle soup was around $20 before tip. This is probably one of their dishes of better value as the portion size was sufficient. The restaurant has what I would describe as a very clean look to it. It's a nice ambience with minimalist decor. There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant as well as street parking.

    Stopped in here for a drink. Great service and super nice people. Loved the atmosphere. Very good drinks and not expensive. Hot saki. Good variety. Non alcoholic too.

    Vegan dumplings and the delicious sauce
    Maria W.

    On another work trip and one thing great about business trips, you can try out restaurants. I visited this restaurant because after my long drive from Houston, I was craving some dumplings. I remembered I had dumplings in Portland, OR and wanted to savor buns in my mouth with sauce to dip them in. I was ready!! The restaurant is located in Old East Austin near Juiceland. About 10 minutes from Tru Hotel near the airport. Thankfully, there was a small parking lot with tight parking spaces. When I walked inside the very cold temperature of a restaurant, I was immediately told with a smile to sit anywhere. I of course, sat at a small table as it was only me dining in. There was one other person with a child dining too, so the dining area was fairly quiet. The crowd didn't come until after 6:00 PM as I was leaving. I ordered the vegan dumplings, a winter melon drink, and a scallion pancake appetizer (vegan). The appetizer and drink came out first. The drink came out in a Shiner glass. I wasn't sure if it was alcoholic or not; so that was confusing. I don't drink alcohol anymore for health reasons. Graciously, the drink didn't give me a spike. The drink was very sweet, but refreshing. I was given a side water. I liked winter melon drink as I've never had that before, but no refills. Next time, I'll try a hot tea. The scallion pancake was very tasty. That within itself could have been a meal. I took me back to the days when I attended an Korean Christian church and at break, they served scallion pancake. I miss those days to be honest. The batter was crispy, but not gummy, but chewy. The dipping sauce was divine and within itself could have been a salty drink. Haha!! I wanted to gobble it up, but I waited until the final meal of dumplings arrived. Surprisingly, the dumpings were absolutely a stunner of deliciousness. Omg, as I was eating it, I thought to myself, these taste so much better than the dumplings I had in Portland. The dumplings at Sweet Chive was packed with so much flavor and the filling was stuffed, but not the point of falling out. The wrapper was neatly formed with slight crisp, the filling well seasoned of what appeared to be tofu and vegetables, and this dipping sauce was the same for the pancake. I honestly wanted to ask them to jar that up for me to take home. I loved my meal and so badly wanted seconds, but having recently lost 10 lbs I just couldn't chance it. I'm for sure going to add this Taiwanese restaurant to my list of favorites of Austin. Funny thing, I lived in Austin for a year and having to never visited this place, but frequently went to the Juiceland across the way. Anyways, the staff was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations on the winter melon drink. I'll be back once I'm in Austin again. I slept like a baby because Sweet Chive made that possible. Keep whipping up solid good food!

    Spicy Chili Wontons
    Katie M.

    Came back to Sweet Chive over the weekend for a quick dinner. I said it before, and I'll say it again - the spicy chili wontons are SO good! Had to order them again. This time, I grabbed the spicy wontons, scallion pancakes, miso soup and the rainbow roll. My husband grabbed the Pancake Sliders (scallion pancakes stuffed with pork belly) and the beef dumplings. First, the miso soup comes in two different sizes - a cup and a bowl. The cup was perfect for me and probably the more standard size if you're having a hard time deciding on sizing (just fyi). Next, the Pancake Sliders were phenomenal - the pork belly was juicy and tender, and complimented the scallion pancake nicely. The fried beef dumplings were little soggy by the time I got home, but the flavor was great. (Maybe order steamed for to-go) Overall, great restaurant and look forward to coming back for brunch!

    Pork belly noodles

    Perfect place for a hot bowl of soup on a cold day. The portions are large and the pork and beef meat are tender fatty and juicy. We personally loved the steamed beef dumplings.

Plates and drinks were also repeatedly slammed down on the table, which came across as rude and unprofessional.

While I've yet to find a Korean joint with a proper Korean mandoo on offer, Chinese varieties are thriving with the likes of Julie's Noodles, Steamies, Lin's and, the subject of my review, Dumpling World. Definitely don't expect ambiance here. After suffering the Triangle's persistent lack of parking, you'll walk into this place and find a really spare, almost utilitarian set up that screams "we mean business." They definitely mean business. I've probably been here a good 5-6 times, and have tried almost everything on the menu. Soup dumplings shine -- my daughter refuses to eat them anywhere else -- and their recently introduced thumb buns, which I think are fried mini soup dumplings, just ooze flavor. More traditional half-moon dumplings, no matter your filling of choice, steamed or fried, never disappoint. Don't ignore the non-dumpling items too. I don't know what the seasoning is in their green beans, but it's ridiculously delicious. You'll never look at green beans or haricot vert the same way ever again. Good, but unremarkable, are the soups and stews. Better to get those at other Chinese eateries. I don't mean to dissuade anyone from those, but did you really come to a place called Dumpling World to eat anything but dumplings? It gets crowded here at times so I recommend trying on a weekday evening. Uniformly, whether it's packed or slow, service is quick and courteous. With dumplings this good, it's clear that humility is one of the key ingredients to their consistency and quality.
