Our friends told us about this place and we went with them. I'm so glad we did! We got the soup pork dumplings, onion pancakes, and the House Special Noodle with Sweet Garlic Pork. 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. read more

I do not know why this place gets good reviews. The place smelled strongly of butane, and half of our dishes tasted strongly of butane. The items that did not smell and taste like butane were mediocre at best. Maybe it's just me though, and most people love how butane smells and tastes. Also, food comes out immediately, so you know it was just sitting in the kitchen premade. Oh, also extremely overpriced! So yeah, the high reviews for this place make no sense. Go figure! read more

The service is great, they're open late, which is awesome. The food is also very good, fresh. The price is just wild. We got chicken chow mein, shrimp chow mein, beef and broccoli (with no rice or noodles) and wonton soup. It was $77! This is not including a delivery fee. We picked it up. You'd think the beef and broccoli would come with rice. I assume we'll be back bc the food is good and they're open late. The price was just very alarming, which is why I'm giving it three stars. Also, no fortune cookies? read more

We are here from Olympia Washington and decided to try this place and we were so impressed. The service was excellent and all of the places that we tried were very, very good. We had never tried pork soup pan fried buns, and they were so very good. Which chose a variety of items from dim sum to the chow mein noodles to beef wraps. We also had a sweet-and-sour chicken, which is very tasty as well. Do you want another one thank you. read more

FEELING HUNGRY and not sure what to eat? There are so many choices here! I especially love the beef noodles and dumplings. The sticky rice with pork rib was good, and the tofu was okay. I was a little disappointed that the hot sour soup, cucumber salad, and string green beans didn't have much flavor. The food came out quickly, which was a plus. It's a casual dining place, and the customer service was okay. Our waitress came to check on us once after all the food was delivered. read more

Food was delicious. I didn't like having to buy rice separately from Tso's chicken. Carry out service was a lil slow ,but they were busy. read more

Amazing authentic Chinese food! Their menu also comes in Mandarin which excited my Chinese gf when I brought her here. Everything is fresh and made to order, we frequent this place and it's our fave in Austin. Get their XLB, noodle dishes (of course!) and their street food and dessert! read more

Very flavorful and delicious dishes. The portion sizes are quite decent as well. For the flavor and size and quality, prices are worth it (they are on the higher side). We went on a weekday during lunch and it was fairly empty. All our dishes came out super quick! read more

Red oil chili wontons and the beef noodle soup were okay, but the cumin beef was a bit underwhelming and pricy for the portion. The cumin beef might be better with rice imo, but it doesn't come with rice. read more

THE BIG: Located in the Lake Creek Festival shopping mall that straddles Cedar Park and Austin. Spacious interior with plenty of seating and parking out front. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I had Special Noodle twice: once for takeout and the other dine-in. Dine in was wayy better. Seating was seamless and you wait to be seated. Ordering was also pretty straightforward with ordering food via the QR code and then paying via the waiter coming to you. Foodwise we got the Spicy pork xiao long bao, pork soup pan fried buns, snow flake potstickers and spicy beef noodle soup. The spicy pork xiao long bao is a bit too spicy but the wrapper and the soup was delicious. Spicy beef noodle soup was perfect with the handpulled noodles. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done was around $75 for four dishes. Definitely way better in person and fresh than ordering takeout. read more

Update!! My husband and I visited in person and the food is 1000x better fresh! I loved the beef noodle soup. Broth is delicious and the noodles are freshly hand pulled. The beef was very tender too. Soup dumplings are really good as well. I thought the pan fried dumplings were too bready but the meat inside was flavorful and juicy. Service is quick and plenty of chairs and booths inside. read more

Great service and amazing food. Noodles are hand made. Chili oil noodles and green beans were LIT.

Great food and great service! Definitely will visit again. Try the chow mein and the soup dumplings!

This place was pretty good! We definitely over ordered, so maybe if we each got one plate, we would have felt more satisfied. I wish the beef ($3) and pork belly ($9) skewers comes with only one seasoning, I wish you were able to add your own. The braised pork soup ($19) was really good. The Xiao Long Bao ($18) was good, but I felt like it got cold extremely fast. This was a very nice and clean restaurant, and the service was nice! I would go back, just know their portions are big! read more

I'm so glad I found this spot. We've been twice in the past two weeks and had zero regrets. They have a massive menu that will easily please most appetites. Some of my favorites have been the Red Oil Pork wontons and pan fried soup dumplings. Main dishes are quite large and easily shareable. Soup dumplings are served piping hot and filled with juicy flavor. To top it off, the table is stocked up with chili oil and hot chili sauce. I'm sure we will be back many more times to come! read more

Today, I was hungry...not ravenous...just needed a hearty snack. So, I decided to try Special Noodle at Highway 183 and Lake Creek Parkway as I was already in the neighborhood. Apparently, they are known for Northern Chinese cuisine. Not sure of what that means exactly, but was willing to give it a whirl. The restaurant is large with many light fixtures and a soothing persona. My server asked me to scan a QR code to order my meal. Once I ordered, he put a slip on my table for the server that delivered my meal to easily identify me. This is a very efficient and effective ordering system. I went with the chicken skewers, which were extremely moist and lightly glazed with a teriyaki sauce. I really enjoyed my food and will definitely return to explore more menu items. read more

The snowball themed lights, subtle Christmas decorations, focus on wooden aesthetics in this upscale Chinese restaurant was a great touch when visiting here in December. I came here once before and am glad I returned - I remembered all the soup and steamed dishes standing out. The staff have a cool shirt I wish I could buy but I can't! The fried rice could be improved upon - I felt it was lacking flavor and a little undercooked so I thought the chili sauce and soy sauce had to be added later but it was still mid. The spicy steamed dumpling was a crowd favorite - it was spicy but had a lot more flavor than spicy. Will get again! (Not shown) The pork soup pan fried buns had so many textures - soft and chewy at the bottom, crispy then chewy at the top, soupy on the inside. Will get again! The Kun pao chicken had some delicious broth where the fresh vegetables stood out. Overall a delightful and hot dish! read more

The reviews at special noodles are misleading due to them offering a free dish in exchange for a 5 star review. The food was okay, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't anything worth coming back for. The prices do not feel just for the quality and quantity of food. They also use QR codes for the menu. read more

Special Noodle is my favorite authentic Chinese restaurant tucked away in a shopping center in the Anderson Mill area. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious, and ordering via QR code makes the whole experience quick and easy. Portions are always generous, and the food consistently hits the mark. The soup dumplings, cumin beef, onion pancake, and braised pork belly are absolute standouts each one flavorful, comforting, and cooked to perfection. A true neighborhood gem. If you are in the area and want a memorable, hearty meal, Special Noodle is what you're looking for. read more

四姐 Special Noodle - Dim Sum Near Me - Austin, Texas

Special noodle is a gem. Their food is delicious and they have several dishes I have never seen elsewhere. Their dumplings, wontons and soup dumplings were all phenomenal. I rate this restaurant above some of our favorites like Asia Café and House of three gorgeous because their menu is unique and they have those items that we like elsewhere but also so many wonderful additional things that we can't get anywhere else. Their shrimp for the walnut shrimp was as big as my head. Unfortunately, everyone was so hungry that they dug in before I could take pictures, but you'll have to trust me and just go try it. I posted a picture of everything we ordered, and I would recommend every single noodle and dumpling dish on the receipt. read more

We always leave here completely full because all the food we order is great! First off, ordering is easy as you scan a QR code at your table so you can order from your phone. The soup dumplings are one of the dishes they are known for and never disappoint. This time we got beef chow fun, pork and crab roe soup dumplings, snowflake potstickers, mini pan fried pork buns and ended with the fried coconut rice balls. This is a regular for us! read more

10/10 service. Someone in our party dropped their chopsticks and IMMEDIATELY someone brought another set. I've never had service like that. We also accidentally placed an order but wanted to add on more food to get the free dumplings and they were so accommodating. The food is a little bit in the pricier side but I do think it is good. We tried the kung pao chicken, spicy beef noodles, pan fried dumplings, soup dumplings, cucumber, beef chow mien & fried balls for dessert. Everything was very good with my favorites being the fried dumplings, fried balls and the chow mien. 10/10 would recommend but maybe for a nicer occasion. read more

The food was amazing, comes in large portions and ambiance is giving clean, spacious, and good for large groups. The service was also quick and very attentive but we went on a Tuesday evening so it wasn't that crowded! Very prompt and inquired on whether you were new here to assist with ordering! read more

Walked into Special Noodle and was immediately struck by how spacious and inviting the place felt. Soft music set a relaxed tone, and the staff were super friendly , they helped us navigate a pretty extensive (and slightly overwhelming) menu. We ordered the pork belly noodles, the snowflake potstickers with egg and shrimp, and the lamb stone pot noodle soup. Heads up: the soup portions are large, easily enough for two, maybe even three people. We definitely over-ordered, but no regrets. The pork belly was a standout, generous portions, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The lamb stone pot was solid, though I think it included some stomach lining. I do eat that, but wasn't expecting it, and it wasn't my favorite part. The snowflake potstickers were stellar. The spinach and shrimp combo was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. I'd come back just for those. Already planning a return visit to explore more of the hot stone dishes. read more

四姐 Special Noodle - 红汤牛肉面 / Spicy Beef Noodle Soup（粗面 Thick Noodle/细面 Regular/米粉 Rice Noodle) - Dim Sum Near Me - Austin, Texas

Overall really good food served hot and fast, clean area, but not cheap. QR code ordering which is fine since almost every dish has a picture. I know they're known for the pan fried soup dumplings but honestly the normal soup dumplings were better. The pan fried ones have too much dough to hold up to the crisping up, and it's not as balanced. Also the spicy chicken filling was surprisingly the better option than regular pork. Not too spicy but more flavorful. The Zha Jiang Mian was awesome, with such great bouncy noodles. Very satisfying texture. Also some of the best wok green beans I've ever had with an awesome texture and numbing spice blend. read more

The food was lackluster a super salty the pork noodles were disappointing . I wouldn't recommend this place so many other better places in the area for Asian cuisine not sure how this place as a 4 star rating . The lamb kabob tasted like sterno . My date thought it could have been a bad day . Perhaps . But it was interesting I did ask the staff hey what do you recommend and he just laughed and never replied with a dish . read more

Tried special noodle for the first time. They have you scan a QR code to order, no real interaction with a server. They are definitely going for a trendy vibe which is fun but doesn't really match the strip mall it's located in. Portions were quite large but the prices were pretty high for Chinese food. Kung pao chicken with noodles: 5/5 - great depth of flavor, very tender, best kung pao I've ever had for sure. Flat noodles were a great add. The price value ratio on that one was decent I felt. No veggies in it really though apart from some not cooked enough carrots. Sweet sour chicken: 3/5 - great crisp but not much depth of flavor. And no veggies in it? Spicy chicken mushroom dumplings: 4/5 - lots of flavor, that "snowflake" crispy crust, different texture inside than other dumplings we've tried. We also got the mini pork bao buns which were meh and a side of rice which was oddly not sticky? Oh yes and the rice isn't included in the dishes which is odd. Felt a bit nickle and dimey in that way. read more

Took the teen here to try soup dumplings after some back to school shopping- AMAZING! We ate the whole set and then ordered more. I recommend the pan fried soup buns, the sesame flavor on the outside provides a nice compliment to the meat and broth inside. This is one of our new favorite spots, we'll definitely be back soon!!!! read more

四姐 Special Noodle - Pan fried soup buns - Dim Sum Near Me - Austin, Texas

Special Noodle is one of those rare places that's always consistent. The quality never suffers, no matter when you go. We love starting with the green beans--they're perfectly cooked and super flavorful. The pork soup dumplings are a must: juicy, delicate, and always on point. The Chongqing chicken is another favorite--crispy, spicy, and addictive. What really stands out, though, is the noodles themselves: they're always cooked just right, with great texture and flavor. Every noodle dish we've tried has been well done. Reliable, high quality, and consistently delicious--this spot never disappoints. read more
