The onion pancakes were amazing. And the special noodle with garlic pork was nothing I've had before but so so so good. And the portion was huge. We shared the onion pancakes amongst the 4 of us. And then the other two dishes with me and my fiance and we had leftovers. I want to come back here and try the pig's feet and orange chicken. Their menu is huge and I wish I could've ordered more but I knew we couldn't finish it. You know a Chinese restaurant is authentic when there's duck blood and pig's feet.

The drink offerings are INSANELY awesome! Pengu smoothie is…read morethe stuff dreams are made of. It's got marshmallows, coconut, strawberry and more. Looks like a fluffy cotton candy cloud and tastes like perfection. Love the pot stickers and green onion pie. Buns with condensed milk are another lovely little treat. Steamed dumplings-yes, please. Lo mein is fantastic! There are bountiful drink choices from slushies to teas and milks. Like so many incredible offerings...hard to make a choice. Hands down one of my fave places.

I love a good Boba drink, and this is the place I will always come for one. A friend introduced me…read moreto this wonderful shop. So, I was telling a friend I was looking for a very good Boba place. She suggested CoCo's, and I got the directions. Imagine my surprise, it was next door to a place I go to regularly. I wondered why I hadn't seen this cafe before. The inside was so cute, it had a playful side and a lounge nighttime side, if that makes sense. I can see being here at night. I bet this place is very busy at night. It actually was busy when I was there. I tried to take my pictures away from people. I ordered the Honeydew Smoothie with the Tapioca Pearls. I have to say those pearls stood out. I never had pearls taste so good; they were so tasty and chewy. I was actually stirring my straw, moving the pearls around to get a lot of them at once to come through the straw. Now, granted, on its own, the pearls were coming through, but I think I got a little greedy. I also noticed there are food items on the menu. I saw more than a few entrees I like, and some I want to try. I want to dry the Rice Ball, Fried Tofu with Peanut Sauce, and more. There's so much here to try, and I can't wait. The question is, how did I not know about CoCo's?!

Young kids doing hard work on a friday evening instead of partying. And they did a great job!!! Second, the food: We had the soup dumplings, the won ton in the chili sauce, the minced pork noodle and the stir fry noodles with beef. The food was amazing, could be a little bit more spicy though, but they have some hot sauces and chili oil to turn it up a notch. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not to soft and not al dente. Prices are good, portions are plenty. Also, they have these super delicious garlicky cucumbers in a savory sauce/dressing at the self serve section. I should have taken more of those. It's a neat little place, they also have these cute little booths outside. I already know what i will try next time we go there. This place is up my (noodle) alley!

We tried Noodle Alley today and had a pretty good experience! It's a cute little restaurant with…read morevery friendly service. When you walk in, you're greeted by the staff, place your order, and then choose a table to sit at. They have a nice variety of noodle dishes, including soups and dry noodles, along with plenty of appetizers and dumpling options. My husband and I ordered the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, 6-piece soup dumplings, shoyu beef ramen, and red braised beef noodle soup. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was probably one of our favorites. It had a good amount of seasoning and a nice crunch, and it came with a spicy mayo dipping sauce that paired really well with it. The soup dumplings were good overall, although they were a little sweeter than what I personally prefer. I'm more used to soup dumplings that are on the savory side, and I also would have liked a little more soup inside the dumplings. Still, they were pretty good! My husband really enjoyed the shoyu beef ramen. He liked the noodles and broth, although he felt the beef could have used a little more flavor. The red braised beef noodle soup was delicious. The noodles had a nice bounce to them, and my favorite part was definitely the braised beef rib. It was so tender and flavorful! I did think the broth could have used a little more seasoning, but overall I really enjoyed the dish. They also have a sauce bar where you can grab your own sauces and customize your meal. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back to try some of their other noodle dishes!

Having grown up in a household where dumpling making and preparation were treated as a meditation…read moreon perfection, I've been incredibly pleased to see Austin seriously upping its dumpling game. 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.

Service was friendly, and cool thing is that in an effort to be environmentally friendly, you get 10% off if you bring your own takeout containers! Also woman owned and operated.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: We came here with a few friends after enjoying Zilker botanical garden. It took us a while to get seated, even though there were barely anyone inside the store. When we got seated, it took about 10 minutes for us to get water, which was odd. For food, we got the Beef Noodle Soup, Pork Belly Noodles Soup, Lu Rou Fan, szechuan, Bon Bon Chicken, and Zhajiang Mein. All were alright and the service was very stressed even though there was no one in the restaurant. THE FINAL BAMBOO: The damage done was around $100 for everything. Flavors were alright, and service could've been better. If you're craving taiwanese and in the East Austin area, this can soothe that itch.

Not too many add ons, sliced nicely engineer like thin.... allows you to be able to savor the perfection of the duck and crisp of the skin vs being overwhelmed by toppings. Guys, I mean, first off I was so full and forcing myself to finish my 1/4 of a duck portion. Second off, even though I was full, I still felt healthy and vibrant leaving. It's a big deal to leave a place and not feel like you have to go veg out on the couch to process things because you're too stuffed. Shared 1/2 a duck with the hubs and we were both satisfied. He had also ordered pork belly but no way I had room for that. Even that portion size lasted both of us a couple meals the next day or two.
