A+A Sichuan China

Tried their food at a Pop-up at IBM. I ordered the scallion pancake and an eggroll. There were barely any scallions in the pancake. It was overcooked and barely edible. The eggroll was soggy. The other food combo didn't look appealing that's why I only tried the 2 items I ordered.

Got combination Singapore noodles for takeout. When I first walked into the restaurant I didn’t expect much of the food due to the outdated look the restaurant had. I was wrong it was so so so sooo good. I asked for it to be spicy and it was definately just as spicy as I wanted. Plus they were super bice. I definately will be back to the next time I’m in Austin.

The ChongChing is legit!!! I’ve been trying to find a place who knows how to make it properly for years. Not too salty, not too dry. Perfect! C25. Chongching Stir-Fried Chicken with Chili / 重慶辣子雞 (Poultry / 雞鴨)

I was incredibly happy that A+A was not murdered by the covid reaction. They transitioned from a good-sized sit-down restaurant to a take-out place, but their food did not suffer. True Sichuan cuisine, and it's fantastic! Pork & Mustard Greens, Cumin Beef, and Green Beans w/ Garlic are our mainstays. I do ask them to make everything appropriately spicy, which I highly recommend! Their soups, dumplings, and noodles are very good, but they really shine with their meat and veg entrees. I could eat the pork and greens dish every day and not get tired of it - there's probably half a fresh garlic bulb in every dish! Great flavors and textures. The bubble tea is also a nice treat while waiting for takeout.

In search of authentic Sichuan cuisine? Look no further, this is real deal.

Amazing food, friendly staff! G is so very nice and the food was amazing!

This Sichuan food can't be beat! I've been coming here for over two years now and A+A is so consistently tasty and the service is phenomenal. My partner and I share their Spicy Beef + egg rolls and they are one of our top Austin restaurants. Moving from Dallas to Austin we literally tried about 5 different Sichuan restaurants in Austin in search for the best Spicy Beef and A+A was the clear winner. They used to have more reviews online but moved locations a few months ago and must have lost the google reviews. If you haven't been here before, definitely give them a shot. You won't be disappointed.

This place has moved and now only offers takeout. We always loved the authentic Sichuan cuisine offered by them. Our latest order had crispy fried Sichuan Chicken (C25), salt & pepper pork short ribs(P7), beef in cummin sauce (B10), eggplant in garlic sauce (V14). Everything was excellent. The serving size was decent.

The. Best. DanDan Noodles. Noodles are cooked right. The sauce has the correct GROUND pork. The nice pinch of spicyness and oil. It's even better when you add more chili oil and a splash of vinegar. I have tried 4 places that make DanDan noodles. This is my preferred one.

This has been a solid takeout place. I love their packaging details to secure the food because Chinese Sizhuan food is oily and easy to spill. The generous amount of rice and short wait time are also some pluses. I love their mapo tofu. But the spicy fish fillet is different from what I usually get from other places. Theirs is more red oil based instead of soy sauce based. It's still good but it becomes very similar to the mapo tofu sauce. The food is usually oily so won't order too frequently for health purpose. But will for sure come back some time for more Chinese food!

A+A has always been on our to-eat list, but only now got to make the drive west to try it out. Definitely been missing out! They're currently still doing takeout only as of May 8, 2021, and their ordering process has been pretty straightforward with no issues with missing items. We ordered the Stir Fried Pork Intestines with Soft Tofu, Spicy Fish Filet, and Stir Fried Pea Leaves. All orders coming with a nice heaping box of rice. Overall, everything was delicious, and the sauces were super good with the rice. Notables include the fish filets, which were slightly crispy on the outside, and the snow pea leaves, which were addicting. Spice levels were on the low side. My tolerance of spice isn't great, but the spiciness of the sauces were easily manageable and a lot more mild than that at the other Sichuan restaurants in Austin. If you're a super fan of spice, I would definitely make a request for them to make it extra spicy, if possible.

Amazing fish in chili oil. Probably my favorite in austin. Rice is always done perfectly and plentiful. The American-Chinese dishes tend to be a little sweeter than I'm used to but still tasty.

Always delicious. Always authentic. Before COVID, I used to dine in at their old location all of the time. Consistently, the food is delicious and authentic. Service is friendly and engaging. Since they've moved to their new location, I only order out. And they are still consistently good. If you like spicy, you MUST try the Chong Ching chicken - UH-mazing!

Hands down one of the best AUTHENTIC Chinese restaurants in Austin. We've been coming here since they opened years ago; worth the drive from South Austin! I wish there were more restaurants like A+A because we don't have enough authentic Chinese food here. Their pork with mustard greens (雪里红肉丝) is probably my favorite dish. It's fragrant and we'll balanced with meat and veggies and mixes well with rice. I also love their fish fillet with sour mustard (酸菜鱼). It's a great soupy dish, warm and filling on cold winter days. The fish is plentiful and delicate. We also like their spicy fish fillet (水煮鱼). The restaurant recently moved to a new location that's smaller. I hope it's not a sign business is poor. Their quality of food and speed of service is still excellent!

The Sichuan food it's self is legit! I've been to this area of China and the flavors are pretty spot on. The lomein is good though some of the Americanized dishes are just ok. Stick w the Sichuan dishes like the spicy fish , chicken goodness, eggplant etc, and you'll be happy. *We have only eaten delivery.

The food was good and the portions were ample. It is located in a strip mall and is a fairly large place. The interior is decorated in Chinese motif, but you can tell it has seen better days and looks a little run down. There were cobwebs on the venetian blinds. So if atmosphere is important, you might want to skip this place. Everything for dinner was priced A la carte except the Moo Goo Gia Pan came with a side of white rice even though the menu didn't mention it. There must be 100 selections on the menu, all with just a Chinese name and no description or picture at all. Wasn't sure exactly what would come with each dish until it arrived. The soft drinks are sold in cans for $1.75 each, so no refills on soft drinks. I had Moo Goo Gia Pan and It was in a mild white sauce. The chicken slices were tender, the sauce seasoned well, and the vegetables were done to perfection. There was enough for lunch the next day. My wife had the Chicken lo Mein which she said was good as well. But the chicken appeared to be ground as it was in very small pieces. She also had enough for lunch the next day. We were there between 6 and 7 pm on Sunday evening. Only one other customer when we arrived who finished as soon as we got our food. We were there alone until we were almost done when one family came in. The service was adequate but not at all engaging. Although we were the loan customers through much of our meal, he never came back to see if we needed a drink refill. The waiter did check once with an "is everything OK" at the start of the meal. Had to beckon for a take out box and the check. I counted 5 staff there, so you would expect a little more attentiveness. This place is out of the way from our house, so we most likely will not eat here again. It's not bad if you're in the neighborhood and in the mood for Chinese food, but nothing to drive out of the way for.

I have mixed feeling for A+A. They deliver outstanding fishes and not so awesome ones. The two dishes we absolutely love are Spicy Fish Fillet (水煮魚) and Twice Cooked Pork (回鍋肉). If I was giving a review just on those two dishes, it'd be a 4.5 star review and they 90% of the time would not mess those up. We'd order these weekly/biweekly for the last two months. Ok dishes would be Szechuan stir fried chicken with chili (四川辣子雞), Young Chou fried rice (揚州炒飯), homemade dumplings(considered okay but would not order again unless there's no other food for the little one to eat), pork with dried bean curd (香干肉絲), and fried chicken wings(炸雞翅). Dishes that are very different from my expectations (the ones I avoid now) are: sweet and sour pork chop (糖醋排骨), stir fried pea leaves (炒豆苗, this was way overcooked when we ordered it), and teppan beef (鐵板香辣牛肉). Thanks for being open A+A during SIP.

Best spicy fish in NW atx. Orders are quick and accurate. Owners are super nice. Go check it!

I would call this is a hole in the wall authentic Szechuan food. We thought the place was closed forever during the pandemic. We found out today that they relocated to nearby area. We went ahead and ordered. The portions of food were generous and a little bit more $$ compare to what used to which is Understandable since they tried to survive. I would highly recommend this place.

Very good Sichuan food, we love the spicy fish fillet, also their Yangzhou fried rice always a treat. Always ready and well packed. We'll keep visiting here!

The temperature has been dropping past couple of days and with that I've gotten a craving for Ma Po Tofu. Decided to order delivery from here and check out their version of the dish. Food arrived very fast and was still nice and warm upon opening. Immediately the heat levels were exactly what I was hoping for. Spicy with the slightly numbing Szechuan peppercorn, yum! I am so excited to find a local Szechuan place that uses Szechuan peppercorn. The tofu and pork were both cooked to perfection and all the other seasonings combined made this dish stand out on this cold day. Rice was cooked well and was a nice addition to the tofu. I'll definitely be back for some more delicious Ma Po Tofu in the future!

Simply put, not good! Restaurant owner did not like my feedback of the food and charged me anyway. The picture shows what I left on the table.

I believe in this case a picture is worth a thousand words. Please see the attached photo. There was a cockroach in my daughter's bubble tea. Enough said.

My favorite take out spot. Have been coming here for years and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Not as good as the first time...I order here through GrubHub or maybe it is because after I ordered from Hunan 620 it was better and I just cannot compare the two. I cannot speak much on the customer service since I have never dined in, but typically when I pick up it is not busy, there is hardly anyone ever there. So I am not sure when their busy times are. I ordered General Tso extra spicy... The food was soggy, I found gristles in my chicken... The various pieces of meat where at times questionable.... the Veggie Eggrolls were once frozen and chewy by the time that I got them. Just not....appetizing. It is sitting in my refrigerator. Three days old. Just... no...take it back.

Can't say anything about delivery but I can say that both times I've gotten food from here it has been amazing. The first time my friends and I tried this place, we were honestly almost scared off by the appearance and the fact that we were the only ones inside. I'm so glad we stayed to try it, however as I found my new favorite chinese food place near Parmer. We shared the eggplant with garlic sauce which was AMAZING. I had the sesame chicken which was also very tasty. I don't remember what other dishes we tried, but we left feeling very full and happy. This most recent time, I got take out and ordered over the phone. We got the egg drop soup and spicy fish fillet at the recommendations of another friend and I tried the garlic pork. The soup was a bit on the bland side, and honestly not that impressive. But the fish... The fish was SO GOOD. Both the garlic pork and the fish were well seasoned, saucy, and just tasted great. I'm drooling now just thinking about it haha! For having it as take out and for the price, I feel like they really do give ample portions. Overall I am very happy with my experience here so far. A+A I am so ready to order your food again!

Meh. Below par for me. Kinda gross. Maybe I ordered the wrong dishes but it was all kinda nasty.

A+A is the grade I would give the food at this Sichuan restaurant. Mapo tofu is a cauldron of spicy, tongue-numbing, radioactive red waves lapping against homey cubes of silky tofu and power nugs of ground pork. It's like the sloppy joe mess that we all should've grown up with as opposed to Hamburger Helper. Next: Cold dishes are a gateway to the delicious unknown. This section of the menu, so far, is really all about that oily, peppercorny, chile-suffused sauce whether it be dunking shreds of chicken and mung bean noodles or slices of cartilaginous pig ear. Ok ya'll, now for the real deal: DRY POT. This is...oh my god...this is where you want to plant your flag. Don't know where to begin or how to describe this magical dish. You can get it with any protein, even rabbit. I went with the chicken. I'm going to say it only once: Go with BONE-IN. Bone brings vital flavor. A+A's dry pot chicken is somewhat fried, and comes with a tangle of cilantro, celery, potato slices, woodear mushrooms, this sauce that you'd stab someone near and dear for a spoonful of. GO to this place. And don't get all uptight about the weird smells in the bathroom b/c who the f cares. Just pee at home. Bonus: Because this is obviously an ex-diner, they've got comfy booths.

Still great place. Tried their lunch special (General Tso's chicken), and it was great. The food was fresh, the fried rice was a different style I was used to but was good. I also enjoyed their hot and sour soup. Usually just order carryout which is great. They have generous portions for sure. The food is authentic style, still love their mapo tofu, spicy fish, and twice cooked pork.

Says it delivers in 60-70 mins and it has now been TWO HOURS. Twice the estimated delivery time is seriously ridiculous. I'm keeping my kids up past bedtime so they can eat and we are all ridiculously hungry. Not cool. Update: after 2 hours 20 minutes and a call for an update I was told 45 more minutes. Dinner expected between 630-640 and then after no updates or communication I have an offer to feed my kids at 930 pm. And of course GrubHub will do nothing but cancel my $70 order. So now no dinner. I have ordered from here time and again but not any more.

We loved the Wonton Soup and Orange Chicken!

I ordered shrimp fried rice and young chow fried rice. They send me both of shrimp fried rice so I called and refused replacement or refund.

It begins with a dated and modest dining room. The tables and booths very typical of a low end strip center Asian restaurant, which A+A is also typical. The dinner menu is extensive, but the lunch menu is very narrow. As usual you choose the main dish, soup (hot and sour and egg drop only) with egg roll. Quickly out comes the hot and sour and it is very hot and fabulous with a nice spicy kick. Now we are excited. Even more quickly while we are still nursing our soup, out comes the main dish and it is massive. (That would be the last we see of our server for quite some time.) The egg roll crust is very thick and doughy. The main dishes are okay but the sauce to the pork garlic is very thick. This "spicy" dish is far from it with no texture and very little flavor. The fried rice is flavorless and obviously prepared some time ago. My wife thought the curry chicken was just okay. Well four tables later and a take out order, and our server is well behind. Bowls and dirty dishes sit in front of us for over 30 minutes as we wait for our check. Our conclusion, we won't be back. Gotta go, chinese food you know.

Really empty on a Wednesday night and it shouldn't have been. This place is delicious! We ordered a lot and shared. I can say the curry rice was the best, great orange chicken, and huge homemade pan fried dumplings. Add a little salt to the wonton soup and it is great. Make sure you get a side of chilly oil. Only negatives, the napkin dispensers were annoying and it was really quiet in there. Need to play some music or something so we can't hear my mouth smacking from grabbing so hard.

Really good food, affordable prices, no wait. I'm a big fan of this place for lunch. You get a ton of food for very little money. Most dishes are served family style so it is best to bring a group, get a variety of items, and share. Get the table with a lazy Susan in the middle to make it easy to pass everything around. The place is almost always deserted, for some reason I don't understand.The food is almost identical in selection and quality to Asia Cafe, which is always packed at lunch. I often wonder how they stay in business without more customers, but it is nice that there is never a wait. The only con I can think of is that they don't take Amex and the waiters don't always know a whole lot of English, but you can usually get your point across without much trouble. Recommendation: Don't miss the Tepan fish, it is the best thing on the menu.

Not unpleasant, but not pleasant either. Before eating here I read a few Yelp reviews, both the bad and good, but decided to give A+A a chance anyways. The restaurant wasn't busy at all so the service was quick. Pricing was fairly decent, under $10 per person for the lunch special. The food was fresh and that's about all I can say about the positives of A+A. The waitress took mine and my father's order by memory and delivered it to the chef. One of the dishes we received back was wrong and had chicken rather than beef. Now given that I've worked in food service for some time, I'd say that I'm pretty understanding and forgiving about mistakes regarding orders because things just happen sometimes, but the main reason I most likely would not return to A+A is their customer service. If any mistake has been made by the business, an automatic response by the staff should be, "I apologize for my mistake, may I get you another plate/drink/etc." The response I received when I notified the waitress about the mistake was, "But can you still eat it?". This definitely rubbed me the wrong way. I mean I can eat anything, but it's not what I ordered. In the end I paid for the incorrect plate at a discounted price (because I touched it) and full price for the food I ordered.

Ordered my food at 9pm with an eta of 45-60 minutes. 90 minutes later, no food. Maybe they just shouldn't offer delivery if they can't do it? Just a thought. I'm sure the food is great, though. I'm imagining it right now as I eat crumbs off the counter. Hey. A+A. Just stop offering delivery. Doesn't seem like you can handle it.

Went for lunch mid afternoon, so was not real busy. Had the Crispy Duck, eggrolls and Combination fried rice. The duck was perfect, and came with sliced carrots, broccoli crowns, snow peas, water chestnuts, and an interesting flat thin mushroom. The egg rolls were not 80% cabbage, as I find in most Asian restaurants. Lot's of ground pork. The mustard and sweet-sour sauces appeared to be homemade, and had nice flavor. The Combo Fried rice had shrimp, chicken and pork, with ample egg, and green onion and white onion pieces. You can taste a well seasoned wok flavor, and was not greasy. I will be back to try another round of their tempting menu. Great job! Very nice and attentive staff!

The waitress who served our table was friendly, however, she was very short-handed. So we took ourselves hot tea, water, napkins, silverwares, and to go boxes. We ordered the beef noodle soup, fried noodle (lo mein) with shrimps, and Singaporean fried rice noodle. All of them tasted kind of salty for us. Especially the Singaporean fried rice noodle- they didn't blend the noodle well so some noodles especially the bottom ones tasted very salty. So overall, they way they cooked, the textures r good; it's just too salty for me.

Don't let the bad reviews stop you from trying A+A out. We always take visiting friends and fam here (before the pandemic and before the location change), and they love it! There are some Americanized dishes, but definitely try the Sichuan dishes. We brought our friend, who's from China, and she even said that this place is authentic! The spicy fish fillet is a must-try. We always order it.

Ambience - came in during the mid and they had half the store closed down with lights off and then a lighted smaller area for guests. The decor is pretty standard red and black painting with lots of Asian sculptures and paintings. At the plate where they place orders there is a really cool menu board made up of nothing but pictures. Which is nice since most Asian places don't have descriptions. Menu - Standard menu that you would find anywhere else with all the main favorites. There was a lot more menu items on this menu that I have never seen so that was nice. The menu is some white paper with black ink of the names of all the items. Pretty solid menu with some interesting names items and all the classics Service - i was greeted by an older Asian lady who told me to sit anywhere I like and she brought me a menu. I then see 2 older Asian gentlemen come from the dark side of the store wearing Jean shorts and regular tshirts. These guys are super laid back, hell yeah. They were obviously the cooks who were napping while waiting for something to do. My server was really sweet and had a some what typical Asian accent. I thought nothing of it till I heard her on the phone talking perfect English in a normal accent. I was like wtf just happened. Was this intentional to make it more authentic? Lol idk, but it was pretty funny. Anywho, service was good which I would hope so since I was the only one inside. Food - I ordered the Zhong dumplings and Ching Chong chicken. Having no idea what that was i was excited to see what i get. The dumplings i got were awesome. The dumplings were huge, most places they are pretty small, but these were nice and plump. They are basically steamed dumplings with hot chili oil. The stuffings in the dumplings had a nice meaty flavor and were delicious. With the oil added I made for a nice spicy blend. My chicken was definitely not what I expected but that's ok. It was a huge plate of fried chicken pieces with thai chilies and hot oil all mounded together on a single plate served with a side of rice. Wow, their portion sizes are ridiculous. I love leftovers thou. So the chicken was something I did not expect. The seasonings and batter blend were absolutely delicious. I mean, this fried chicken could easily compete in a chicken fry contest. The blend of spices and the chicken were so good. Since it was made fresh and piping hot, the physical heat made the actual spice level go way up. The chicken was nice and tender and had a great flavor. I decided to put some soy on it and it was a great idea. The saltiness with the spices made the dish even better. Salty, spicy and yummy. I was completely blown away by this dish. I obviously couldn't eat all of the food so I got to enjoy it twice. So overall the food was great and the portion sizes were even better. For 15 smackers I definitely got my money's worth. Overall - glad I stumbled in here. The store is nice and clean, the service is good and the menu is very solid. The food I got was definitely not what I expected. It was a very wonderful dish with everything Americans love. Fried dead animals that are spicy.

I would give 0 stars. Food was so salty we rinsed the sauce off but it was just bad. Don't waste your money. Lots of better places in the same shopping area

Got combination Singapore noodles for takeout. When I first walked into the restaurant I didn't expect much of the food due to the outdated look the restaurant had. I was wrong it was so so so sooo good. I asked for it to be spicy and it was definately just as spicy as I wanted. Plus they were super bice. I definately will be back to the next time I'm in Austin.

This is some of the best Chinese food of it's style in the Austin area. I suspect it's highly underrated because there are a bunch of people obsessed about decor and having a waiter serve them, or that think that Panda Express with cake-like batter on fried chicken and sugar is Chinese food. Helps to have someone that knows Chinese cuisine to help you order as the menu is massive. There's so much good stuff, but what comes to mind right now is Twice Cooked Pork with bacon.

This restaurant is my favorite take out place. My favorite are pork with garlic sauce, beef with cumin sauce and dry chicken. The food comes in generous portion. I take out dinner at least once a month. Food preparation is always quick and they have authentic Chinese food.

I like this place a lot, and have ordered from here many times. But today I received a rice with weird signs... I ask them to bring only one small rice every time. Why can't the only small rice be clean and nice...

This place is the middle child of the sichuan places in Austin to me with its older more refined brother Szechuan House, and its younger brother Asia cafe. To put this analogy into perspective, Asia Cafe is the young sibling. He cares mostly about price (its cheap), and is a growing boy (food quantity is very large) and quality is an afterthought (though don't take this the wrong way as Asia cafe is still really good). Szechuan house meanwhile has realized with age comes refinement (i.e. people willing to pay more for less food, but the quality is really really good for what he eats). A+A is the median: price in between the three, quantity in between the three and quality in between the three. Just like my current state in life after college, hopping into working life but not quite "old." Anyways, we got three baseline dishes to compare to other places and then adventured outwards: mapo tofu, spicy fish and water spinach. Water spinach is fresh, cooked the way i'm used to, but i didn't see any slivers of garlic (*tear); ah well, it was still the palate cleaner I craved. Mapo tofu here is extra fiery but that's the way I like it. Spicy fish here reminds me more of Asia cafe in the glory days when it was higher quality and lots of it: more fish here, not as spicy but clean not greasy flavors. Branching out, we got shredded pork in garlic sauce, a vegetable and minced pork meddley and salt and pepper squid (though I have yet to ever have something salt and pepper and not enjoy it :]). Last item was pork belly in garlic sauce, which was my favorite: cold boiled pork belly with chili oil and garlic sauce: its like Schezuan house's except tamer on the heat and a lot more pork belly. The combination of spicy, savory with the pork belly's large reserves of tender fat make it the an unforgettable experience. Rice of course is on the house. Also of note is that they serve boba here. The tea is fantastic (almond and honeydew are my favorites), but the pearls themselves fail to impress. I'd stick away from those unless you really like squashy tapioca and or exploding boba (though we might have gotten a bad batch as it was near closing). Out of the three Sichuanese children in Austin, I wouldn't hesitate to go to any of the three, but for those to compromise and get some of the best of all possible worlds, definitely come here. Less crowded too :).

This place and Asia Cafe are the two premier Chinese restaurants in Austin. They totally trump Din Ho, Ho Ho, First Chinese BBQ, TJ's Seafood and all of the other well reviewed top Chinese establishments. The decor and table lay out are frankly terrible ... but you are here for the food. And if you want American Chinese (General Tso's Chicken or take out noodles) go to P F Changs. This is a palace for adventurous eaters. This is a place for all of the parts of the pig including the parts you can't even get at Barley Swine. This is where you go for Sea Cucumber and Frog Legs. And yes, their preparation of the parts of the pig and fish you usually eat are fine too. What is the difference between this place and Asia Cafe? Asia Cafe can be exquisite - or it can miss. A+A is always reliable - although does not always hit the first ecstatic taste peaks that Asia Cafe hits when it hits. Asia Cafe is blazingly hot - and the dominant flavor is often chili oil. A+A works off of a more restrained and subtle flavor pallette. Asia Cafe usually runs out of the exotic specials - but their normal food is so good that who the heck cares. A+A has the exotic specials in stock. Asia Cafe has a far nicer ambience than does A + A. (A + A really really really needs a redecoration and tables that are not in a strange size.) That said, I am always happy when I leave A+ A. I can be ecstatic when I leave Asia Cafe ... or I can be ... "boy that dish was a struggle." A + A is more reliable, Asia Cafe offers dangerous thrills. Between the two of them, why eat Chinese anywhere else? (Unless you want American Chinese which is a completely legitimate cuisine. In that case P F Changs or Bamboo Garden are perfectly respectable calls.) But for Chinese Chinese ... one of the big two definitely.

I glad to find another non-americanized Chinese restaurant in Austin. The chef was the former Asia Cafe chef - that is what I heard. Food is quite good (as good or better than asia cafe), price is reasonable, not as crowded. I hope this restaurant stays! I give 4 stars!

Ordered delivery, and was very disappointed in the food. I ordered the zhong dumplings based on the customer pictures. I expected high quality homestyle dumplings. Instead, I got store-bought dumplings swimming in grease. Maybe they ran out of the good ones? Definitely not worth the price. The Taiwanese Stir Fried Rice Noodle were ok, but very heavy on the egg. I had to pick most of it out. I probably won't order from here again.

This place has some excellent Chinese food. It is authentic, delicious, and fresh. The decor and feel of the place leave a lot to be desired though. And the service... well, it's okay, but not too great. Every time I ask for some hot mustard you'd think that I'd asked them for ketchup (like the oddest condiment one could ever ask for in a Chinese place). Anyway, we usually get the twice-cooked fish, which is awesome (probably the best thing we order). I have had noodle dishes (good), the salt and pepper squid (pretty tasty), and some pork dish w/ hot peppers (yummy). If you like Chinese food... then this is a place that cannot be missed.

Tasty - very nice people! I suggest the pork with flower/chives, it was satisfying :)

Best old school (non fusion) Asian food in Austin, hands down. We had salt and pepper shrimp, combo lo mein, beef & broccoli and egg rolls. Everything was great quality, cooked perfectly, with fast and friendly service. We will be back, even though it's on the other side of town for us. Totally worth the drive. What ever the sweet and sour dipping sauce is made with is amazing and I'd buy a bottle if I could (hint, hint). Thanks for a great meal, you made our day. #foodislove

Amazing place... great food great service. Moving from San Francisco, I was looking for a good Sichuan place... I think between Asia Cafe and this place, I have places I can go to for my Sichuan cravings....They do have some veggie options, what else can I ask for!! Food came out fast, it was fresh and tasty!

Signed up to have their food delivered to my work through foodsby. Apparently they cancelled an hour before delivery, which sucks because they had to approve even being on the list of options in the first place. Why accept orders you can't fulfill? Now I'm just hungry and grumpy and won't trust ordering from them in the future. Unreliable.

Asia Cafe is easily my favorite Chinese restaurant in Austin and it just so happens to be in my neighborhood. A+A is a great substitute, especially when needing delivery. According to a friend, the owners of both restaurants are the same or related, though I haven't confirmed. The food is delicious. Never overly salted, which can often happen at Chinese restaurants. They always seem to hit upon the right mix of ingredients. Getting your order in can sometimes be very slow, even with not many diners there. I do like that they bring your food out hot, as it's competed. Service is always friendly and warm. It's definitely a dive, but that's exactly the kind of places I love, especially when ethnic people frequent it.

If you don't expect good service and love Sichuan food, this place is good. They are not busy and you can get your food quickly. The rice is so-so, but the non-Americanized dishes are flavorful, and the spices will make your mouth sing. I love the combination of Sichuan peppercorns and whole dried red peppers. My favorite dish here is the stir fried frog legs. Other dishes are okay and similar to Asia Cafe down the road. Overall, this is a good place to get inexpensive Chinese food.
