    Pad Thai
    Shannon G.

    My first time here. My friend had been here once before. And she wanted to show me where it was. I ordered the pad Thai and coconut shrimp. Both were good. I would have rather had a sweet saucer with the coconut shrimp. But other than that. It was pretty good. The shrimp was flavorful with a crunch. I got 6 pieces. Pad Thai was good. It was a lot of food. You have options for your protein. I got true tofu. Tofu is very bland on its own, so you do need to season it. This tofu had no seasoning, and it was a little disappointing. The service was a little disappointing. It's young adults and they are literally just doing a job. Here's your food, here's your check. A tip from me to you as someone who has worked in a tip based job. Be charming. Chat with your customers. Check in half way through their meal and asks how the food is, have you tried this meal? It's my favorite, come back and try it, it's so good. Be dramatic. Be personable. It goes a long way and you'll get bigger tips. Southern charm will make a world of difference. Someone please teach these young adults.

    Two visits, first time the food was decent service was very minimal I'll take that as a fluke maybe caught them on a bad day. Second visit June 28th, service was even worse than before. You have three high school kids sitting around at the front counter while you're water glass has been empty for 15 minutes so coming over to ask if I needed a check or to go box and literally had to ask him for more water that was at the edge of the table. Too many restaurants around here especially 3 Doors Down to put up with this. The food, I had the one bowl away last time it was decent but not stellar and then this time I had this shaken beef which was okay came with a nice side palette of egg drop soup which was okay. Y'all need some adult managers on this site if you want to see Improvement on the place. Place was pretty clean but when it's not busy of course nothing will get messed up or dirty. I meant is decent inside a little dark to read the venues but one can get by. Parking is ample it shares a strip joint.

    Hot and sour soup after shot....it was good

    Service is very attentive and food was good. Portions are on the smaller side but it scratched the itch. Will come back to have their lunch specials!

    Chicken wings -amazing!

    This is UTeaPho's second location. The food is delicious and flavorful. The Vietnamese iced coffee is a must have! The owner was friendly and the service was good too. There's not many Vietnamese food in the Lakeway area but UTeaKitchen is going to lead the path for Vietnamese cuisine to expand. I highly recommend visiting for a fresh, healthy, and tasty meal!

    Incredible dinner with the family at UTea Kitchen tonight! Egg rolls, Spicy Pho, Pepper Filet Mignon on a sizzling plate - amazing! Love that we found this gem!

    Spicy Pho

    We love Pho and Vietnamese food and bubble tea, and UTea Kitchen is in the top five in the world we have had. Can't recommend enough. Their spicy Pho is superb.

    what's up in the hill country looking for a quick spot for lunch and found this place on Yelp. So…read moreglad I stopped in. Had the chicken salad which was super fresh and delicious. The chicken is so tender and flavorful. Very fresh salad nice touch by adding fennel and orange segments. Comes with a delicious homemade ranch, but I also tried the lemon aïoli on the side. Perfection! Nice selection of Takeaway items as well, including bone broth, chicken, salads, and family trays of chicken enchiladas.

    This is an upscale wants-to-be-better-than-fast-food roast chicken and chicken tenders place…read more They sell whole bottles of wine. Upscale beer is available as well as elegant Yuppie beverages. They have very good filtered water served for free in a nice samovar. I recommend the samovar. * * * I am likely to be fussier about Chicknic than are Bee Cave Residents. I would take those enthusiastic Bee Cave Resident reviews seriously. Factors that shape my not-with-the-crowd views on Chicknic. 1) It is actually harder than one thinks to do a roast chicken and chicken tenders restaurant that beats the competition because the competition happens to be very good. 1a) If you want chicken to die for, Your two best options are to go Peruvian or Guatemalan, All of which are available in Greater Austin. Inka, a Peruvian fast food restaurant on Wells Branch in the Pflugerville/North Austin nether land Makes some of the best roast chicken on the planet. Guatemalan chicken - which is done best if fried, can be found at Pollo Campero in Round Rock and the Buda/Kyle nether land. Pollo Campero is another experience not to be missed. 1b) If you limit the competition narrowly to American fast food chains, the chicken category actually has some of the most high integrity fast food chains in the country. Chick-Fil-A sets the standard for putting out good honest food in a fast food format. It doesn't hurt that they are ecologically responsible as well. They play "Southern Fast Food" because that is what they have to do for marketing ... but they are actually working at a higher level. Boston Market is more in the take-home-dinner niche. But they also turn out a high integrity product. 1c) The level of the competition means that Chicknic really has to be very good in order to beat out formidable rivals. 2) Bee Cave is seriously restaurant short. This is particularly the case given the high density of high income residents. So it doesn't take much to be a major contributor to the Bee Cave scene. Lakeway used to be that way - but Lakeway is finally fully restaurant stocked. Austin and Round Rock are rolling in restaurants. So us Yelpers from out of town can afford to be a little fussier than can Bee Cave Residents who for now are over a barrel. (Over time, Bee Cave will fill in appropriately.) * * * So what is my take on Chicknic? Under-salted. There is not enough alternative spice and not enough native flavor to make up for a basic lack of NaCl. Salt at the table would be a huge form of First Aid here. It could be fancy Pink Himalayan Salt from a gourmet store if management needs something more in sync with the ethos of the place. Strangely the sauce I had (the sweet sauce that comes with the tenders) does not provide enough spark to cover for the chicken. And sad to say, the tenders just are not all that interesting as chicken, given the other stupendous chicken dishes that are available elsewhere in town. It could be the roast chicken is better than the tenders. It could be that the alternative vegetable side dishes are stupendous ... Although - the salt question aside - my traditional French Fries weren't too bad. * * * I think management really wants to have a legendary classy place. Certainly, most Bee Cave residents are not going to drive to Wells Branch to get take out chicken to bring home. Locals give this place enthusiastic Yelp Reviews. I see their point. If you live in Bee Cave, believe your neighbors. If you are the type of person who eats all over the place, then you may be more in agreement with fussy old me.

Like... how is bread this good?? They loaded it up with fresh toppings like tomatoes and provolone, plus a side of onions and a dill pickle. I don't know what they're doing back there, but they need to keep doing it. Also, you can grab chips or other sides, so you're not leaving hungry--that's for sure.

They managed their tables well. No dirty plates lingering around. Restrooms were not bad either. Small, but clean. SUMMARY It's great that they make fresh noodles, but $20+ for a plate of noodles is a bit much. Overly paying for salty food, I rather go to a chain Italian restaurant. Not worth the hype in my opinion.

The food is consistently good, and most of the staff have always been incredibly sweet, welcoming, and helpful. That said, we had a really disappointing experience during our last visit that felt worth sharing. A younger female employee with a long dark ponytail brought our food over, I think she was a food runner - but she wasn't wearing the Vivel branded t shirt like the other employees. When my husband politely asked for ketchup, she visibly rolled her eyes before bringing it. When I then asked if I could please have a knife (I'm seven months pregnant, for context), she started to walk to get one, took two steps, turned back and said "you can go get it yourself". It felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, especially given how quiet the café was at the time. We stayed for a while after and watched her standing by the counter organizing utensils, so it wasn't a matter of being too busy. We really like this place and will continue coming back, but this interaction stood out in a negative way and didn't reflect the level of service we've experienced before.
