    Shrimp chow mein, chicken chow mein, beef and broccoli, won ton soup
    Misty D.

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    This still remains our favorite Chinese restaurant in Austin. Tried the fried rice and pan fried dumplings today and it didn't disappoint. My daughter's favorite is the squid and lamb skewers. Hits the spot every time!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    I absolutely love this place! The food is always so delicious and you can really tell everything is freshly made. It has such a warm family restaurant vibe, and the entire staff is always so friendly and attentive. One of my favorite things is being able to watch them make the dumplings fresh right in front of you. Everything always tastes amazing. Highly recommend!

    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.

Perfect! Extra large plumpy shrimp with bits of sliced jalapeños and cooked veggies. Definitely not spicy or saucy. I enjoyed my choice of soup- egg drop, comfort soup for the soul.

The service has improved slightly, with us being so close to the kitchen. We were able to flag down servers to help us get an extra plate, tea cups, etc. Got a variety of dim sum classics: hargow (shrimp dumpling), siu mai, rice noodles, custard buns, chicken feet, chow fun, egg tarts, soy sauce noodles, charsiu bao, turnip cake My favorites are the siu mai, chow fun and custard buns! They also have non-traditional dim sum dishes such as soup dumplings, which actually originated from Shanghai. We got them and they were ok. We ordered a second time to get more custard buns but it seemed they ran out so it took some time for them to make them fresh. When they finally came, the buns were not smooth and it really looks like the custard was about to burst. Someone bit into theirs and the custard exploded onto their shirt. However, we all had a good laugh and still enjoyed the food. Have to have tea during dim sum so we also got our puer and chrysanthemum tea mix.

The vibe is modern: very bright, well lit, with the lion statues in the front, tea pots on the walls and clean spaces. The nice thing is you can order dim sum even when the push carts aren't going, which I personally think is better since it's fresh. My wife felt like she had a ratatouille type moment when she bit into the sesame balls and the deep fried mince turnover. I personally thought while the dim sum had a good fry, it was about average on the flavor and texture, but like I said, some others in our group thought it was excellent. On the other hand, the main entrees, I thought were stellar. The Sichuan green beans (despite this not being a Sichuan shop) were the best rendition of the dish of anywhere I've had in town - very good fry on the green beans with smoky wok hei, well seasoned with the pickled veg too. When your five year old opts to eat just this and rice, you know you got something special on your hand. The seafood fried noodle is also very good - tender squid, shrimp and veggies in the crunchy noodle nest is a great contrast in texture, as well as a lesson in simplicity. The peking pork ribs are also incredible - saucy, not overly sweet sauce clings to the riblets and gives you something incredible to gnaw on. I prefer it in pork chop form, but this is stellar as I think I've only had this one other place that was even remotely close.

Thanks to reviews from fellow Yelpers like Steve W. and Samuel C., I felt confident suggesting Ling Wu to my friends and my girlfriend. I made a reservation for that Wednesday night at 7:00 pm, and by the time we arrived, the place was absolutely packed. There was a line of people waiting to be seated. I don't know if they were walk-ins or also had reservations, but thanks to ours, we were sat immediately with ease. I definitely recommend making a reservation. The interior of the building is beautiful, as is the patio with string lights and shrubbery. We sat inside, and the lowly lit atmosphere was excellent. All of the decor really makes the space feel cozy. Water is served in little mugs, and a paper mat is placed on the table because they know Austinites are messy. We all ordered drinks. Two people got a Kirin Light, one got a cocktail, and I ordered their mocktail Spritz. We also shared an appetizer of the Szechuan Spicy Cucumber, which arrived as an incredible tower of cucumber that was both fantastic and delicious. I lowkey ate half of the tower. My girlfriend ordered their soup dumplings, which were pretty good. Soup dumplings are not really my personal style, but everyone else at the table loved them. I was most excited for my entrée. I ordered the Orange Peel Akashi Beef with a side of brown rice, and honestly, it is some of the best Asian cuisine I've ever had. I've seen reviews complaining about the price point, but you can't compare a wagyu steak to Texas Roadhouse, and you can't compare a sit-down Asian restaurant to a Chinese buffet. This is clearly a step above. You don't have to fully dress the part, but this is practically fine dining. Top tier service, top tier atmosphere, and top tier food. This isn't a casual noodle shop, buddy. Overall, it's an excellent experience and definitely worth the steeper price tag. I recommend Ling Wu if you understand that sometimes you have to pay more for a higher quality meal. If you're not that type of person, grow up, because you're missing out on some of the best Asian food Austin has to offer. RIYL: A great meal with a great atmosphere

The lamb is not overly gamey, but it still does taste like lamb so if you are not really a lamb fan, I'd choose something else. - Jumping Fish: A very popular dish! Tender white fish fillets that is so soft it melts in your mouth. It is in a flavorful oil and broth that is refreshing from the fresh jalapenos. It is a savory dish, yet still relatively mild. It commes with napa cabbage as well! This was my favorite dish and I loved the flavor combined with the white rice. - Mapo Tofu (Vegetarian): They have one with pork as well, but I got the vegetarian version. Silky soft tofu cubes in that signature mapo tofu sauce and numbing peppercorns. Despite the appearance of all the dishes, none of them were very spicy. Overall, a comforting soft, spicy, savory dish with a slight tingle. - Eggplant in garlic sauce: A deliciously sweet and umami garlic sauce. The eggplants could have been a bit more cooked through in my opinion though since it was still quite firm. I loved it still! Note that all the dishes to me were not spicy just had an underlying subtle spice or tingle (like a finishing flavor note if you will). Also, since it is sichuan the dishes are on the oilier side. You order with the cashier at the front and pay up front as well. Food comes out quickly. It is a small space with three rows of tables (maybe around 12-15 tables give or take), so it does fill up fast. I went at around 5:40 PM on a Thursday and there was no wait, but by the time we finished eating at around 7PM, the restaurant was full. House of Three Gorges was hyped up a lot on my social media feed and through word of mouth, so I came in with high expectations. Luckily, they did not disappoint.
