"Sijie Special Noodle is a mini-chain from Northern California with a large menu of dumplings, skewers, and other Chinese street food. It’s located in a strip mall in Northwest Austin, with a large dining room that gets very busy during typical dining hours. Show up early or prepare to wait a while, and use that time to watch robot waiters deliver trays of food while you strategize how you’re going to narrow down the 200+ items on the menu into a manageable order. We visited Sijie Special Noodle and added it to the Hit List." - nicolai mccrary
