This place has good food, but it is never open. I've tried to eat here four times in the last several months and it's closed at odd hours and it keeps changing. I call, and no answer. I'm honestly not trying to be a downer or a negative poster. You guys have to make a living and I'm not trying to attack you. You guys need to fix this crappy hour situation. Four times I've tried now. It's incredibly frustrating. I won't be coming here any more for this reason. read more

I used to love this place specially the eggdrop soup, but last time I ordered the Sesame Chicken it had a maggot inside of it. Not going there again.. read more

A lot of great things to say about this restaurant - just not about the food. It's cheap, a ton of food, quick, and they deliver food themselves. I'd like to try it again in case if I just ordered wrong because my entree was very disappointing and had little flavor. They give enormous portions, which includes a lot of meat, not just rice and vegetables . read more

I absolutely loveeeeeee this place!!! Been here multiple times and they've never disappointed. I always order - fried dumplings, shrimp curry and it's absolutely delicious!!!!!!! I'm also a sucker for wonton soup.. I highly recommend this spot! read more

Consistently delicious food! My go-to order is the General Tso with fried rice and the crab rangoons. The best Chinese I've had in Austin. The fried rice is perfect. Their delivery service is quick and friendly! Never a poor experience. read more

I had the best Pempek here. Seriously good! They also had bubur sagu ambon with Talas, doesn't look much, but wow it was good. The owner (I think the older gentleman is the owner) told us that they have one left and offered it to us. I'm glad that he told us about it cause if not we will miss out on a great dessert. We also had nasi Padang, ayam Keremes penyet, both are also good. The only thing that we thought was just ok, is the bakmi ayam. Service was excellent. read more

The review will focus on the Indonesian menu as that was the reason we came. We have not tried the Chinese one. We went to Indonesia for vacation in late 2017. There were a lot of great things about this country and delicious food was one of them. I stumbled upon Twin Panda during my research of authentic cuisines in Austin. I got intrigued and we came here for dinner with a lot of expectations to experience something similar to what we have had in Bali and Java. My high expectations were met and exceeded. We ordered Spicy fish (number 2, I think). When the plate came out I felt like I time traveled and found myself back in the town of Probolingo. Probolingo is a small and not very touristy place. We made it more difficult for ourselves by not going anywhere close to the hotel for dinner and choosing to explore "where the locals go". We ended up in a restaurant packed with local people and nobody speaking English. We used Google translate app to explain to the staff we wanted food. We picked random lines on the menu and showed the surprised and amused staff that everything works for us foodwise, that we wanted sauces too and spicy was ok. One of the things that showed up first was a whole fish covered in spicy sauce which we thought was amazing. The Spicy Fish at Twin Panda tasted exactly like the one in Probolingo. Very spicy, full of small bones, but absolutely delicious. We had a good laugh remembering that dinner from our trip. We also ordered the chicken dish #16 (something ayam). It was very tasty and I found it very authentic as well. We briefly spoke to our server and he mentioned he was originally from Indonesia. Just like everyone one would meet in that beautiful country, the staff at Twin Panda is very nice and friendly. The only bummer was no alcohol. I was hoping to see a bottle of Bantang beer, not necessarily because it was so great, but because it would bring out some good memories. The dinner was excellent and I definitely plan to come back. read more

Twin Panda - Indonesian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place needs their chefs to cloned or start teaching others to cook like them because this place is always popping. I like the place for eating and sitting but man the quality of their food has become so good that its a problem. Not a bad problem to have. My wait time for my ordered is 45min.... I don't mind waiting hungry. Thanks again Twin Panda. Your food AND STAFF! Are excellent! read more

This is our go to Chinese takeout. Great food, price and service. Nothing else I can ask for.

Heard about this place from a coworker. I haven't really had Indonesian food before and so was intrigued by the flavors in the dishes we had. Overall not bad. You get free wonton chips to start, which have a nice crunch and not greasy. For our entrees, we got the indonesian fried chicken (ayam goreng), which comes with a vegetable soup that's a bit on the sweet side (probably from the sweet soy sauce), mie tek tek which is egg noodles that are pan fried with shrimp chips on top and ikan masak cabe (the spicy whole fish). Everything we tried was a good interplay of flavors with some good complexity. I think the fried noodles were the favorite amongst our group - little sweet, savory, well fried noodles that had just enough sauce clinging to it, with shrimp chips for good contrast. The chicken was probably the next favorite - came with some cubes of fried tofu and fish as well with some dipping sauce. Chicken was a little on the dry side and not ultra flavorful as I expected it would be but still good, especially if you want a lighter take on fried chicken. The fish has a good sauce that's not too spicy, but a bit hard to eat as there's not much flesh on it and the bones are hard to get around. Portion sizes are large - you'll definitely leave full! read more

We are returning customers here. We usually have our usual, but sometimes we get something new and love it. The people here are friendly too. It gets crowded here 7pm To 8pm. A little wait, but it's well worth it because of the food is great and friendly staff. Thank you. read more

Fantastic food fantastic taste. I requested them to make it extra spicy and they delivered! The food is flavorful and comforting. Id recommend coming here for a refreshing taste of indonesian. read more

We had their Indonesian menu and oh my goodness it was phenomenal. I would suggest changing their name to something more Indonesian. Definitely try it out. Their nasi Padang is great. But really all their dishes are yum! read more

I ordered the sesame chicken combo with fried rice, egg roll& hot & sour soup for dinner at $14.95. I shouldn't have eaten all of it for dinner bc it was enough for 2 meals. I really enjoyed it!! The best I've had in a long time. read more

The honey walnut shrimp was delicious!! Moo shu pork was good. Vegetables used in sitr fry were fresh tasting. We would like to try the authentic Indonesian dishes next time. Indonesian dishes are available all day Saturday& Sunday. We ordered take-out. The family were all friendly and courteous when we came to pick up the food. The dining was very clean and tidy. read more

This is the best Chinese food I have found anywhere in Texas or anywhere I've been. Nuff said.

This is average at best American Chinese food. I ordered an eggroll, wonton soup and general tsos chicken. The eggroll was ok until I got to a chewy piece that I had to spit out. Wonton soup was served scalding hot and had really doughy tasting wontons. The real lowlight of the meal was the general tsos. I can't get enough spice, but it has to be the right kind. They overdosed my general tsos with red pepper paste. I like that type of spice in other dishes, but never thought it'd be used in general tsos. Suggestion: throw in some hot oil and/or dice up and stir fry red peppers with the chicken, but please don't use red pepper paste. Won't be back. read more

Best kept secret they have an oxtail soup to die for, SOMETIMES its available but when it is DELICIOUS.

Ambience - Super cute tiny Asian/Indonesian restaurant. The lobby is really small with only a few tables and booths. The decor thou is super awesome. The area where the crew goes to the kitchen looks like a traditional Asian food booth with banners, bamboo and so on. The decor was very bold and entertaining with very bright portraits and decorations. It has a very nice homey feeling to it. Menu - There is 2 menus that they give you. One is the standard Asian cuisine and then there is a smaller Indonesian cuisine menu. The menus are literally just white printed pieces of paper with item names on it. No color, pictures, explanations. Just white paper with black ink. Saves on paper goods. Like most places there are no descriptions of the items on the menus, just the arbitrary names like "Buddhas Delight" I dont know what that is but im hoping it is something fried because Buddha didnt get that big eating a salad. There is the standard lunch menu that comes with a choice of rice, eggroll and a soup for about $8.00. Not bad. However, the Indonesian menu does come with descriptions because the menu items are in Indonesian. There are even numbers by each item which im guessing is for ease of ordering. Pretty standard menu that you would find anywhere. But has a nice touch that there is an another menu. They also offer delivery, but i dont know the range. Service - Like most these mom and pop shops, you get greeted and seated in poor english. Seemed like this was a close knit of family and friends that were running this store. The server lady, who was fairly older, was super sweet. She had a huge smile on the entire time and was very polite. During the course of my stay several of the other crew came out and helped refill drinks and help the guests out. They even all checked on me to make sure that everything was alright. The service here was really good, everyone was smiling and very helpful to everyone. Food - I ordered of the lunch menu and got the Triple Delight with wonton soup, pork eggroll and fried rice. The soup was a very simple yet flavorful soup. There were 2 big wontons with some nice green onions. When i got my soup it was about the temperature of what i assume lava would be. Yes i know, soup is hot. But in my haste, i didnt let it sit or blow on it long enough. Goodbye taste buds! Yeah, i burned my tongue. My fault thou lol. I get my meal which has the rice, eggroll and a veggie mix with chicken, beef and shrimp in a brown sauce. As soon as i get my food i stare at what is supposedly "fried rice". But it looks like a scoop of rice with soy poured on it. I taste the rice first and sure enough my thoughts become reality. It was an imposter, this man is not "Fried rice" but instead his evil twin brother "Fraud Rice". The rice was pretty lackluster, didnt have any flavor to it. No spices, could barely taste the soy and egg. Ugh so disappointing. The eggroll thou was much better. It was cooked nicely, had alot of pork and alot of good greasy flavor. Now for the entree. The veggies that came with it were carrots, snowpeas and mushrooms. Pretty standard veggie medley. The beef and chicken were cooked very well as they were tender and still had flavor. The shrimp however was strange. It wasnt cooked all the way or something. It had a very overwhelming fishy shrimp taste to it. I like shrimp but this just tasted way off, so i pushed the rest of the shrimp to the side. The veggies were also cooked nicely as they still had some crunch. The sauce is a standard brown sauce so it has a rich savory flavor to it. The menu stated that this was a spicy dish but i got no spice whatsoever. I like to think and boast i have a high tolerance for spicy food but there was none here to be had. All these things mixed together did produce a nice and flavorful dish. Would have been better if the rice was better to help compliment the dish. But overall it was a decent tasting meal. Nothing super special but not terrible either. Overall - For $8.00 it was right on point for what it was. A good tasting meal that filled me up. I was a little let down by the many 5 stars about the food quality but for me it was just good. Maybe it was because i got a lunch special which is streamlined. But not fireworks and parades for me. I will be back to try dinner and the Indonesian menu as those might be the actually gems here that i missed out on. However, it was still good food, had good flavor and was filling. And for only $8. Not bad if i do say so myself. The vibe and crew here are pretty awesome and so i will definitely be back to try some of the other items and the other menu read more

Twin Panda - Triple Delight with Fraud Rice and an eggroll - Indonesian Near Me - Austin, Texas

I started ordering curbside pick-up from Twin Panda a few weeks ago, as it is very close to where I live. Zach has taken my order multiple times and is always kind and personable. So far I have ordered sesame chicken, beef with broccoli and beef with garlic sauce to name a few. All were large portions, with the option to add soup, egg roll & drink for a few dollars. I will continue to show my support to this restaurant during this pandemic as it is my go to Chinese restaurant now! :) read more

Finally some great Chinese food in the area! we had the beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, fried rice, crab puffs, and egg rolls. All delicious! read more

Tasty lunch with a friend today! Stuff couldn't be nicer. Attentive without making us feel rushed.

This is our Chinese food restaurant of choice every time! The food is so yummy. The delivery service is beyond fabulous,, always on time or a minute before. Friendly, consistent and one of a kind!!! read more

This place is just amazing. I got two completely different dishes here and they were both great. My friends also absolutely love it here!

I moved just down the street, so I thought I'd try this place out. I've been pretty disappointed with most of the food around here lately, but I was very happy with literally everything I ordered. It is the first time in months I didn't regret pre-tipping. read more

It's a rare gem for us who crave for authentic Indonesian food. We did take out during the pandemic and ate there in-person prior to pandemic. I personally love their Nasi Padang with Gulai Ayam (chicken curry) option the most. Their weekend Indonesian food specials are also great! Unfortunately we have to call in for Indonesian food orders instead of being able to do online ordering during this pandemic. read more

Tried this for take-out last night. Wonton soup had wontons that we're so soggy the noodle melted in your mouth. Lettuce wraps weren't very good and the Kung pao just wasn't that good either. Not really sure what's wrong here, but the food is not very good. My wife loves Chinese food and texted me today and asked for the name of the place so she can remember it and never eat there again :-/ it had 4.5 stars and I was expecting so much more. read more

My company gives us a credit towards ordering food. On average the app that I order from has told me this is my "go-to". They are fast, very nice when they arrive. The food is hot. As well the combo option is great. You get rice, soup (go for the won ton Mmmm yum) And the pork eggrolls are the bomb. OOhh OHH! and the combo comes with sweet tea. GET YOURSELF SOME. STAT. xoxo read more

We just moved to the neighborhood and tried this restaurant in hopes of good Chinese food close by. The whole process was seamless, and the food was tasty. They have online ordering with customizable level of spice. Great layout and very easy to order. Huge menu of Chinese and Indonesian food, and everything can be turned into a combo with a drink, soup, and an egg roll. Everything we had was excellent. Closed Tuesdays. We forgot and tried to order dinner again last night. read more

I love this place! I love their hot and sour soup. Very friendly and I definitely would go again

The best Indonesian food in the region! Everything I have tried at Twin Panda has been excellent!

The best take out I've ordered in a long time. Food was fresh and sooo good. Ordered the shrimp fried rice. Sweet and sour chicken. Beef and broccoli (best I've ever had hands down) and veggie rolls. Defidently recommend and will order again read more

Ordered a dozen time from here. They decided tonight to 'shrink' their delivery area because they understaffed. Guess trying to stay in business with Covid does mean much to them. Explained I had major surgery yesterday and how I was a longtime customer. Didn't matter a bit. Never again. read more

8 dumplings for 5 bucks! Can't beat it. The service is friendly and they have a great lunch menu. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I delivered takeout from Twin Panda last night. The food was ready on time, staff was friendly, and the food had a generous portion and was delicious. My wife got the egg drop soup and I had the Sesame Chicken. The sauce on the sesame chicken was some of the best I've ever had. We'll definitely be going back. read more

Before last week, I probably would have only given twin Panda 3 or 4 stars. That's because every time he walked in they handed us the Chinese menu, which is probably what most people commonly like. Then 2 weeks ago, I discovered their Indonesian menu. The food on that menu tastes more authentic (than the mostly Americanized Chinese food) and is flavorful. So far, I've tried the lamb Curry, cap cay (pronounced like chop Chay?), chicken noodle soup, and the kwetiau. The lamb Curry is amazing and shouldn't be missed. It does have small bones, like most authentic Asian food that leaves bones and shrimp shells on for more flavor. The cap cay was similar to a chop suey type dish. There's a mix of so many different vegetables and proteins. It was perfect for my picky kids to choose exactly what they wanted to eat. They discovered that they love baby corn! The chicken noodle soup is actually separate noodles from soup. I ordered the beef balls add on because I love Indonesian style beef balls. The soup is flavored with a little bit more MSG than I would like. But in general the flavor of the dish overall was very good. The kwetiau is similar to beef flat noodles. The beef is incredibly tender... Way more than their pepper steak beef which my son ordered and enjoyed (but not my style... Too saucy and salty). The noodles are unfortunately mostly small pieces, unlike beef flat noodles. Maybe this is how it's supposed to be? I've ordered that dish twice and while the flavor is good, I prefer my noodles to be long. I really appreciate how there are such large portions also. Three dishes feeds my family of five, though we are not big eaters. We almost always over order and end up with leftovers! read more

I ordered thei grub hub. They gave me a doable wait time. When I got to the restaurant on time, the host said it would be another at least 35-40 minutes. They were just very busy. They do have good food. But I ended up canceling my order because my husband and I were really hungry. Really disappointed that the restaurant didn't plan it better and there was better coordination between grub hub and the restaurant. read more

The food is mediocre at a best. Ordered sweet and sour pork - it was dry and tasteless.

Found this eating place thru Yelp when we were visiting Austin last week. The restaurant serves both Chinese and Indonesian food. We ordered Indonesia dishes: salted fish fried rice, pempek, fried chicken (ayam penyet). They were so delicious. The service was also great! The employees were so friendly. We surely be back! read more
