"Ronald Cheng opened Austin’s oldest-currently-operating Chinese restaurant in 1983. There are two locations, one in North Austin and the other out in Westlake, which are known for dishes such as dim sum dumplings and spicy Sichuan duck. The restaurant has also landed awards for its wine list, which runs deep. The patio has great iron furniture, while the interior is decorated with paper lanterns and gleaming wine bottles. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Melanie Haupt
