"Matthew Odam reviewed Spicewood Springs Chinese food restaurant Fat Dragon this week, and found mostly pleasurable flavors with a few stumbles. Odam said that the restaurant “delivers some of the best flavors from other styles of Chinese and Americanized Chinese cooking,” from mouth-numbing Sichuan dry pot cabbage to chocolate-filled dessert dumplings. He stayed mostly on the Chinese side of things, finding that the Chinese-American General Tso’s chicken held “nominal bites of actual meat,” while the pan-Asian items like kimchi fried rice “needed more oomph.” Odam had particularly positive things to say about fish dishes. Odam also enjoyed the miso ramen with thin slices of sous vide pork belly and the dumplings, though he noted the latter were, at times, not consistent and did not live up to the ones found at next-door restaurant Asia Market. Overall, he appreciated the “good-natured energy” of Fat Dragon." - Erin Russell
