Bee Dumpling

This Cantonese comfort food has given you great options and some spices. The homemade chili oil is amazing. I love the portion and a flavor. The parking spot is convenience. Make sure to try the dishes from the picture I have posted. I would definitely go back to try my dishes.

I came here because of the rating when I got there. I got a little questionable because there was no one in there. But as I talked to CJ our server, he explained to us that it was just a slow period at the moment which to me means we came at the perfect time to enjoy. He explained to us that everything is made fresh. As you order which everything we tasted was very delicious. Tasted very fresh and our server CJ was very professional and very helpful if I wasn't doing business out here definitely would be eating this place on a once A week to probably twice a week. Basis just to try all the other dumplings and all the other fresh dishes. Another thing that didn't make the pictures was the cheese wontons very delicious Very crispy, served with sweet-and-sour sauce to dip in! In short, really need to try this place It's AMAZING!!

I was really craving some dim sum, so my husband and I decided to check out this restaurant and wow, what a great choice! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely outstanding; every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality in each dish. The service was also excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I was pleasantly surprised when one of the servers even spoke Spanish to me, such a nice touch that made the experience even more personal and welcoming. The restaurant itself has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, with a mix of booths and regular tables. They were playing Halloween movies when we went, which added a fun, seasonal vibe to the meal. A definite must-try here is the pork siu mai, it contains water chestnuts for that extra texture, and also their signature teas. I ordered the passion fruit tea and my husband got the strawberry; both were refreshing, beautifully presented, and the perfect complement to the meal.

AAAAustin! you do not disappoint. This "NYer for life" keeps finding all this gems of food and vibes, which for a long time,has caused to call Austin the "BETTER VERSION" of NYC. Yeah, I said it😁😁🤣🤣 Why? come try this cozy restaurant and it's amazing flavors of Sichuan style cooking, then go take a walk alongside the Colorado River on downtown, and you'll feel the energy of central park, but with the enhanced beauty of the river, and parking spaces thay dont ruin your mood.🤣. This spot is a must try for the palate.

Update #2 on 2/27/26: Already NOT was it used to be. Noodles are no longer hand pulled and much thinner. I am left needing something more as I am not satisfied. An order of extra side noodles is now $7! Beef potstickers were not very good. The filling is fine but the exterior was not made right. Too gummy and, not sure if tacky is the right word.. Soup dumplings are same at least. -End update 2.- Best beef noodles on the southside? G3 is what you want. Spicy peppercorns with fresh chili slices. G2 was ok. I had to add 2 heaping spoonfuls of chili oil. The beef portions were acceptable but flavor wasn't the best we had. Still ok. I want to try G4 next time to see what the difference is netween all the hot/spicy/braised combinations. The noodles were thin like ramen noodles. We liked it but prefer rice noodles which they don't have here. Comparable to Dumpling World. Dumplings were ok. Black pepper udon wasn't for me. Not much non-pork options so menu was limited for us. UPDATE: G4 is spicy noodles without the tongue numbing peppercorn flavor and no fresh peppers added like the G3. G1 is good. The soup as a creamy color with daikon radish for a clean deep flavor similar to Korean seullung tang. G2 is brown soup, same as G3 and 4 just no spicy. Beef roll (burrito) was tasty but too much housin sauce. Wish it had more shredded leek/green onions for more fresh crispy flavor. The fried exterior was perfectly crispy. Not as fat as another location but ratio was great. Chicken soup dumplings were out of stock last time so we got to have some today. Those were great. Place one on a spoon to take a bite and sip the soup first before devouring. Had to order another because children liked it so much. Beef and chicken potstickers were ok. Beef was better than chicken. Wish it had a little more crisp.

This place was fantastic! A 15 minute wait for a table of four on a Friday night is totally reasonable. Since it was our first visit, we went all out and everything was incredible. The staff was amazing one of the male servers did an excellent job explaining the menu and recommending dishes (I wish I had caught his name) but honestly everyone was wonderful. You could really tell they work as a team. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, crispy plum shrimp, mild black pepper chicken udon, beef and broccoli, garlic string beans, chicken chow mein, and braised beef soup—and every single dish was delicious. I wish I got a picture of everything we ordered. We’ll definitely be coming back with our family and friends!

Well hot damn, finally we are getting some good, affordable Chinese food in south Austin! Checked this place out on a Sunday night and had to wait about 10 min to be seated. The vibe was lively and the staff was busy making sure everyone was taken care of. Food was really great, too - the soup dumplings were solid but the star of the show for me was the dry pot cabbage. That will be a repeat order. We ordered 4 things for around $50. Portions were great. My only criticism is that I wish they offered little bowls for us to mix our vinegar and ginger before we pour it into our dumplings. However, they could never do that and I would still go!!! Def go check it out!

Great to have a dim sum place in South Austin. They may have changed the name recently. Google has them as Bee dumpling but the location is called One Bite dumpling. It is a very approachable restaurant if you're not familiar with Chinese cuisine. The entire menu is also in English and they mainly stick to dishes that most people will know. Ordered the pepper beef udon, pork soup dumplings, and beef scallion roll. Favorite was the beef roll; perfectly crisp with a a good mix of salty, sweet, and fresh flavors. Food portions are hearty. Front of house was clean and staff was helpful and attentive

So glad we have a delicious Chinese spot right by us. Went here the other night and ordered: 1. Black pepper udon noodles - this was just OK but it was nice to try something different. 2. Orange chicken - delicious and slightly spicy 3. Pork soup dumplings - not the best I've ever had but def good. Portions are big, so they're easily shareable. Will be back to try new dishes! And the service was great - everything made fresh!

The food was great! So happy to have a delicious new dumpling and Chinese spot in South Austin. I had the Mapo Tofu- it was excellent! Kids got a variety of dumplings- they were solid. The scallion pancakes and egg rolls were their favorites- the dumpling wrappers were a bit thick on the pan fried dumplings and the pork dumplings- but the fillings were on point! Service struggled a bit, but I honestly think they are still working to find their rhythm. Will totally be back! Hope to see them on all of the delivery apps!

I love grocery shopping as you never know who you might meet, and on one of my trips I happened to meet a kind guy who ended up being the Chef of One Bite! He was so sweet and helpful that I decided to make the trek down South. It honestly was a bit of a drive, but the food didn't disappoint and I was shocked as my picky eater kept asking for more! We ordered a bit of everything as variety is the spice of life! They are known for their soup dumplings so we ordered the seafood version and the OG and both were tasty but I still preferred the OG even though they were generous with the crab! The wrap was a bit on the thicker side but my picky eater really enjoyed it. The snowflake pot stickers were also very popular with my picky eater. We also ordered the chili oil wontons which were very flavorful but because we left it sitting the wrap felt a bit thicker when cold. I think this would have been better if we ate it fresh. We also ordered the popcorn chicken which was probably my favorite, great taste and perfectly fried! It was a bit too spicy for the little but the Chef was so nice and offered to remake it less spicy, def good to know for future visits! I also really liked the beef roll as it was a good amount of meat and the wrap was nice and crunchy! Speaking of beef, don't skip on their beef noodle soup, it looks unassuming, but once you dive in, the broth is so rich and the beef super tender! Oh also the string beans were so good, crispy and well seasoned. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The space was very inviting and clean and even had high chairs! The quality and quantity of food were definitely worth it, and the Chef is just such a sweet guy so definitely stop by if you are down South!

I was super excited to give Bee Dumpling a try since...and I hate to be this guy...but Chinese (-American) food has been a bit tougher to come by in Austin, particularly as someone originally from the NYC/NJ area. I'm not saying I want Texas or Austin to be more like Jersey by any means, but would appreciate a nice Chinese joint with tons and tons of items where you order by letter & number....and Bee Dumpling does a heck of job filling that void! Family run spot with very friendly servers...I thought the food is very good - huge portions. I will return to try more dishes!

The service was excellent, and our waitress was attentive and personable throughout the meal. This is a great restaurant for ordering multiple dishes and sharing family-style. Despite the size of our order, the food arrived promptly and was well prepared. While some dishes could have benefited from a bit more seasoning (only thing keeping this from a 5 star review), the chili oil sauce served with the wontons complemented everything well and added the needed depth of flavor. The beef roll was a standout and ended up being my favorite dish, especially when paired with the chili oil. Overall, the food was very affordable, and we will definitely be returning.

Totally enjoyed the restaurant! I had seen many videos about this place since I had been looking into places to eat in the southside of Austin and this place continued popping up. The place is such a classic dumpling spot, nothing flashy and nothing extravagant. BUT the food that was placed in-front of me, showed me WHY there's hype about the place. Everything posted about was great, super filling and super big portions. The service was also great too, staff were always super attentive. Like said the interior was nothing flashy, but that food is why it's always popping. Check out the menu and prices, trust me, pictures do NOT do justice.

I came in today for lunch for the first time. The was service was fast and prompt. We were allowed to sit anywhere we wanted and they had plenty of tables available. We went with the waitress recommendation and I was very pleased especially with the black pepper shrimp udon. We knew we wanted soup dumplings but the udon was the real star or the show. The soup dumplings were good too nothing crazy to rave about. Overall was a pleasant meal. The actual dining area is very bare so the ambiance is almost a little eery but if you want a solid meal this is a good place!

There aren't a lot of Chinese food options here in S. Austin so I was excited to check this out but was met with disappointment. The food is overall ok but it's not a place I would go back to. I would rather drive a bit further north. We got the black pepper beef udon, scallion pancake, and soup dumplings. Black pepper beef udon is alright with rice but by itself is too saucy and peppery. Scallion pancake is good but is small. Honestly, the soup dumplings I can get at Costco taste better. We waited a while for these too. It's a new restaurant so hopefully it can improve but I probably won't be going back anytime soon.

Met a friend at One Bite Dumpling which is Austin's go-to spot for authentic, handcrafted dumplings and Asian comfort food. They specialize in freshly made dumplings, flavorful noodle soups, sizzling stir-fries, and delicious dim sum. I was greeted promptly on arrival and the staff accommodated my request to be seated at a booth. They have plenty of searing in the dining area with both booths and tables. There is a window in the kitchen where you can watch the dumplings being prepared. Their Chinese cuisine features high quality ingredients and bold flavors. Ordered the pork soup dumplings that were made fresh using traditional cooking techniques and served in a basket with an order of 8. The waiter removed the lid of the basket and you could see the steam come out. There was a side of vinegar and chili oil on the table for dipping sauce options. Also ordered the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. The rice was very flavorful with a mixture of sausage. They were fun to unwrap and then enjoy eating with chopsticks. They had several specials including the crispy plum shrimp had a balanced sweet and savory flavor. The shrimp were butterflied and fried and you have the option of eating the shell which had a very crispy texture with a nice flavor. The entree was served with rice and was a good portion size to split. Overall had a great experience trying this new establishment and they offer both dine in and take out options. I am excited to come back and try other items on their menu.

Simple and delicious. I like both the quantity and the quality of this place. The Mongolian beef's are amazing and the rice smells nice too.

I ordered the crab soup dumplings, spicy shrimp soup, and shrimp lomein. Unfortunately, the only pic I grabbed was for the lomein and the dish I liked the least. The crab dumplings were great, the shrimp in both the soup and the lomein were great, but both were lacking flavor. I also really wanted to try the seafood dumplings, but I couldn't because it doesn't list what's in the seafood mix. My meal did come amazingly quick and hot at well! This was an Uber eats delivery, so cannot rate on the locations service or ambiance.

We got soup dumplings, sticky rice with lotus leaf, and shrimp cooked in plum sauce. The soup dumplings and sticky rice were flavorless. The shrimp was probably my favorite item. However, if dumpling is in the name of the restaurant, I would've expected more out of the dumplings. Glad I tried it to check it off my list but probably won't be going back.

Came in for dine in and this place doesn't disappoint! The dumplings are clearly handmade and you can even watch the team making them through a window. The pork soup dumplings were the star. They were super juicy and packed with flavor. I dipped them in vinegar and chili oil and really recommend it. The beef roll was sweet, savory, and had a nice crunch. It is very filling so recommend sharing. I also tried the spicy beef noodle soup, and it delivered that numbing, Sichuan style spice I love. It was spicy but was still balanced and so tasty. The whole place felt inviting and lively, and the food quality really impressed me. There are so many other things on the menu I didn't get to try so I'll absolutely be back soon. This place is a must-visit!

HIDDEN GEM ALERT!! The food was AMAZING. We ordered the soup dumplings, spicy beef soup noodles, beef roll, and kumquat lemon tea. All of it was wonderful. Everything tasted homemade. It is one of the best asian restaurants in the south austin region (we don't have as many asian spots in the south) Our waitress was very kind and checked on us very often. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!! So many other things on the menu I want to try!!

Lot of variety in good food. It's amazing. The service is fast and efficient. Easy access to parking lot. The atmosphere is very pleasant

They make the dumplings by hand and you can watch through a window. We ate in and I think that would be best - everything we ordered except for the noodles wouldn't have traveled well. The soup dumplings were hot and tasty and the noodles were SPICY! All of the staff we interacted with was nice. We would come back if we're in the area!

This is a good sit down Chinese restaurant in South Austin! I tried their soup dumplings (flavorful but wrapper is a bit thick for me), popcorn chicken (crispy, well seasoned and large portion) and char sui bao ( pillowy bao with good bbq pork flavor). I would def go back!

I have ordered this place a few times for lunch at work and the food is always good. My favorite is the green onion pancake. I did finally do dine in and the service was very friendly!

The chicken soup dumplings were so tasty even though it was take out. The soup was still contained inside the dumpling. Nothing was broken. I also tried the beef roll. The beef is cold cut. Love the green onion pancake wraps! Greasy and delicious. A great Chinese/Taiwanese restaurant down south is an automatic 5-star in my book! Casual interior durable for all gatherings. The service was excellent. Plenty of parking. Will definite return to try more items from the menu!

My husband and I tried one bite dumpling yesterday evening for the first time. We were seated promptly and ordered Jasmine tea. No water was provided which was a little weird but I'm sure we could've have asked for some. We got the chicken chow mein and chicken soup dumplings. I really enjoyed the chow mein, very fresh noodles and flavorful. I wish there were more noodles but it was still a decent portion. The chicken dumplings we received were dry and did not have any soup in it. They were also very bland tasting so we didn't finish them or take them to go with us. I would recommend this place for their noodles to be honest, a little disappointed with their dumplings and services but still a place I'd like to come back and try more food!

Spartan settings in a deep corner of a strip mall at William Cannon and Manchaca - this place is no frills, but serves up good Asian food which is so lacking in South Austin. Service is a little spotty as they work out the kinks (one open 2 weeks), but hopefully it will even out - they are very friendly and appreciative of your patronage. Walk in and take a look at the window where you can see dumplings made by hand. We feasted on a few things: 1. Braised beef and tendon noodle soup (this was sooo good). 2. Garlic bok choy (very good - a bit too much garlic for me but I think others would love it) 3. Mapo Tofu - so flavorful and a very good sized quantity. I like this one in small quantities since the peppercorn and its numbing effect isn't my favorite). Still - very good with the bowl of rice it comes with 4. Spicy wontons - slightly sweet and spicy. Good but was not expecting the portion to be as large as it was - like 10 wontons or so. 5. Soup dumplings - these were very good. Looking forward to returning and trying a few more different things.

Even though this place specializes in handmade dumplings, I was pleasantly surprised to find other standout dishes. The Taiwanese basil fried popcorn chicken nuggets came out hot and with a generous portion. I really wanted to eat them like popcorn! But also don't sleep on the braised beef noodle soup. There are two versions on the menu, and they're equally flavorful with one being slightly more spicy and oily. The beef was tender and easy for my toddlers to eat. Would hands down come back again if it wasn't so far south for us!

Finally! Legit Chinese food in South Austin! I was so excited to try this place. Overall, the food is a solid A-, the service a B, the ambiance, well... maybe a B- (and that's me being generous). We had a large group, so tried quite a few things: - Soup dumplings (the crab and the pork): They're well filled, with a good chunk of meat in each. Both the crab and pork tasted really fresh, but a little under seasoned. The wrappers are on the thicker, stickier side, but not offensively so. - Beef roll: this was a crowd favorite. It skews a little sweet, heavy on the green onions, but it's yummy, and the fried roll gives a nice texture layer - Veggie egg rolls. Basic, but well prepared. - Bbq pork bun: Really nice. Soft, fresh, tasty. - Dry sautéed green beans. These were one of my favs! So good. Like I don't know how, but so good. - Braised beef tendon noodle soup: This was awesome. The broth is so rich, and the noodles are perfect. - Sesame balls: a little small, but tasty. - Chicken fried rice: again kinda basic, but solid The service was friendly and helpful, my only complaint is they didn't check on us much. Like we were trying to flag someone down for a while. Atmosphere: It's very clean, and I love the live food prep window--it adds a fun energy. That said, the interior feels a bit unfinished, like they haven't had the chance to fully dial in the vibe. Think bright lighting, a sparse setup, and a quirky mix of lantern-style and crystal light fixtures that don't totally match. Still, the food makes up for it. I will DEFINITELY be back. This place is already great, and with just a little polish--especially on the atmosphere side--it could be next level.

Happy for south Austin to have another Asian cuisine , especially since it replaces a legendary spot. My partner and I arrived at 1145 on a weekday and were pleasantly surprised to be greeted and seated immediately. There were probably 10 other tables being served throughout our lunch experience. You can order from a QR. code at the table and I assume you can order more and check out on their as well. I menu is straight forward and easy to understand, almost every item had a photo to reference. We got an order of salt and paper squid, pork soup dumplings, sesame balls. I was only taken back by the salt and pepper squid as I was expecting more body than rings. But it was well season/battered. The dumplings were very juicy initially but dry up quickly as the lid is taken and the dumplings dry out as it sits. Haha eat fast. The balls were okay. Nothing to crave for me... Our meal was $40 with tip which I would say it a bit steep for the amount of food. Regardless, the food was good so I can't wait to come back and try more things.

This restaurant is in the old Hao Hao space. There's lots of parking during the weekday. Servers were all so attentive! They were all extremely friendly. The owner, Jake was very nice. He took our order and also checked us out. To start, I had the cucumber salad, egg rolls, and pork soup dumpling. The cucumbers were thicker pieces which I liked and it had a lot of garlic slices which I really loved. The eggrolls had a nice crisp to it. The soup dumplings were really tasty! For my entree, I had the spicy beef noodle soup. The noodles are thinner than I'm used to but that's not a bad thing! Just something I noticed. The meat was super tender. So happy to have a good Asian spot in south Austin!

Don't get me wrong, I love myself some crappy greasy Americanized Chinese food. But this isn't what this place tries to present itself as. And it definitely doesn't hit like that kind of Chinese food. How it got such a high rating confuses the heck out of me. Definitely not authentic and definitely not any where near as good as the reviews said. You ever have one of those meals that makes you feel like you wasted your calories? Yep this was one of those meals. Soup dumplings. Mid Shumai. Was this Shumai for ants? Scallion pancake. Soggy Wonton soup. For a dumpling place you'd think they'd be fresh. Nope same stuff from other shitty Chinese takeout spots Wontons in chili oil. Oddly sweet Crab Rangoon. Also oddly sweet, stale wrapper Beef noodle soup. Not bad. Green beans. Brown and wilted. Fish in chilli oil. Where was the fish?? Yang Chou fried rice. Why the heck is it brown and soggy?? Uncle Roger would be LIVID. On top of all that they garnished everything with wilted brown cilantro. None of the food looked like it did in the pictures. False advertising for sure! Should've known this place was bad when we walked in there was no Asian people in there besides the workers. One bite dumpling. More like one star dumpling.

I love a good scallion pancake, and they have them here. Pork soup dumplings were delicious and I'd get them again. The tofu dish we got was meh. I'd heard you had to pay for rice separately but that no longer seems to be the case. Our entree came with white rice. Service was okay considering it was lunch and there were two servers and about five tables. It's relatively new. Hard to compare with the lovely host who remembered everyone's name and order when you walked in to the former Hao Hao. Thera plenty of parking.

Excellent fresh food, good prices and great service. We are so excited to have some soup dumplings and good Chinese near our house! We will definitely be back! We got orange chicken, crispy and delicious ... hot and sour soup was rich, thick and full of yummy mushrooms and tofu. Soup dumplings were delicate and melted in my mouth! Cheese wontons were filled up and fresh! The waitstaff was excellent and never let my tea go empty. Can't wait to come back and try some noodles!

The food was good, the pork buns were okay. We went for lunch on a weekday. The staff was friendly and the ambiance is okay.

I was really excited when I found out that there's a new dumpling place in south Austin; however, it's a bit disappointing. We ordered their pork soup dumpling and it tasted really plain (my wife and I think that Costco dumpling actually tasted better than this lol) the scallion pancake isn't too bad but the portion is too small for a $6 appetiser. The black pepper beef udon is a letdown. - very salty, too much sauce and pepper. Service is decent, food came out decently quick. Parking is widely available. Will probably get something different if I'm back.

10/10 so good. The black beef udon blew us away. The potstickers are amazing. Every thing on their menu is phenomenal and the service with every person was 10/10. First restaurant in awhile we are already excited to go back!

Had the dumplings which were decent, not too sweet. The chicken fried rice was okay. Egg rolls were fine. The beef and noodles were really good. Spicy wonton dumplings were okay. Shrimp soup was too salty.

I am changing my rating from a 3 to 4 star because I have been back a few times. The dumplings (steamed and fried) are great. The soup dumplings are average, I really like the cucumber salad and the crispy tofu although not very crispy had good flavor and seasonings on it. Ultimately this is a good restaurant that misses the mark on some of their items, the spicy beef noodle soup was a big disappointment.

We ordered a little bit of everything at One Bite Dumpling -- bacon fried rice, chicken chow mein, beef with peppers, udon soup, steamed soup dumplings, barbecue bao, Kung Pao chicken, and orange chicken. Every dish had its own highlight, but the bacon fried rice and the orange chicken stole the show. The rice was smoky, savory, and full of flavor, and the orange chicken had that perfect balance of crispy, tangy, and sweet. For the portion sizes and flavor, it's honestly a great value for your buck. The steamed soup dumplings were another favorite -- thin, delicate wrappers with piping hot broth inside that made every bite feel like comfort food done right. Everything came out fresh and hot, and you could tell the kitchen really takes care with each dish. On top of the food, the staff made the whole experience even better. They were super sweet, welcoming, and attentive -- checking up on us often without ever being overbearing. The restaurant itself was spotless, and you could feel the team's energy and pride in their work. Honestly, I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for this place or more people talking about it. One Bite Dumpling deserves way more attention because it's a hidden gem in Austin. If you're looking for amazing food, friendly service, and a clean, welcoming environment, don't sleep on this spot -- go check it out!

First time here, and no wonder it's popular--people were already lining up even in the early evening! Took me a while to realize there was a QR code on the table to order from (would've been nice if someone told me that lol). The green onion pancake was the star for me--super flavorful and way better than I expected. The handmade chicken xiao long bao and beef dumplings were pretty good too. Mapo tofu was just okay. I definitely over-ordered because I wanted to try everything, but overall the quality was solid across the board. Since most of the good Chinese spots are in North Austin, I'm happy to see a legit Chinese place down South!

I'm so glad we caught this little hole-in-the-wall. This quaint little restaurant may seem timid as it is tucked away in the corner of the plaza, but after eating here... this place is anything but shy. The food speaks for itself - authentic and flavorful. The chicken was crispy and beautifully spicy, the bok choy was super umami and cooked to perfection, and the dumplings although fragile, were delicious. The flavors of the food were undeniably bold and so was our server. He was upbeat, witty, and quick on his feet. This is someone who has mastered his craft as a server. Hats off to you sir! Our experience was amazing!

(Note: I write Facebook reviews for residents of Turner's Crossing, a new development in Buda, as we all learn about good places to dine in Austin.) ------------- I'm going to write this review while the memory of the great food we finished only minutes ago still lingers on my taste buds. Turner's Crossing neighbors highly recommended this place after trying it recently. Being a couple of foodies, wife Karen and I were anxious to give it a shot, considering we have not been at all satisfied with the Chinese restaurants we have sampled so far in the area. I think it's pretty sad when the best Chinese food we have had since moving here about two years ago is dished up at a buffet, the East Buffet at I-35 and William Cannon. See my earliet review of that place. We have been there at least five times. Note that if you Google One Bite Dumpling to check out the directions and the menu, you are redirected to the website of Bee Dumpling, which is apparently its actual name now. The restaurant itself is still adorned with a large sign that says One Bite Dumpling. Until they change the name on the building, I will refer to it as One Bite Dumpling. It is located in a strip mall at the southeast corner of the Manchaca Road intersection with William Cannon. The twin strips of parallel shops run perpendicular to Manchaca, so watch carefully for an entrance as you near the intersection. One Bite Dumpling is a spacious, comfortable and clean eatery with an extensive menu of goodies, many of which I have never tried. I grew up eating Chinese food on a regular basis, and almost every restaurant my family went to specialized in Cantonese style food. Since then, I have also become fond of Szechuan cooking, which is different and can be much spicier. After looking at the menu, I asked Oscar our waiter what Chinese cooking style was featured but he did not know, just said it was likely a mix of various styles. The menu was not specific. For my first of what I expect will be several visits to this place, I picked the chicken chow mein ($12.99), partially because ithe menu photo looked similar to the Cantonese chow mein I had ordered my whole life. Oscar pointed out that the portions are generous. He wasn't blowing smoke, because I took about a third of my dish home. It will make a nice lunch for Karen or me, depending on who gets to it in the refrigerator first. My chow mein was definitely not the same as Cantonese style, which I always enjoy, but I relished this change of pace. It was tasty, served piping hot, and satisfying. Big chunks of chicken were tender and coated with a delicious sauce. Karen, who had never eaten Chinese dumplings before, went with an order of the crab meat soup dumplings ($13.99). Interestingly, Oscar the waiter noted that Karen's order contained sausage, which I guess he does because some diners have an aversion to pork. I'm surprised that little cautionary note was not on the menu. Karen's dish was also steaming hot, and she carefully slid a large spoon beneath one dumpling to try it. She immediately nodded approvingly, so I knew we had a winner. Check out the menu online. Dumplings, especially soup dumplings, appear to be a lot more popular in Chinese restaurants in the Austin area then they were in the upper Midwest where we hail from. Karen graciously allowed me to sample one of hers, and it's something that I will be likely ordering the next time. We were also intrigued by one of the appetizers, labeled salt and pepper squid ($12). We vowed to include that in our dinner on our next visit. The restaurant has a pretty good mix of tables with comfortable chairs and the usual booths. Service was extremely efficient. We were also grateful that the temperature inside was comfortable, and sweaters or jackets were not needed like so many restaurants where they only have two settings for the air conditioner: Arctic blast, or off. We had a chance to enjoy a pleasant conversation with Oscar, who quickly commented on my Ohio State cap when we entered. In the first few minutes, he explained that he studied a year in Columbus at Ohio State. He later spent some time at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and was a big fan of the state of Ohio. Of course, that was enough reason for me to give him a bigger tip. He spoke fine English with a thick Russian accent because his family came from Kyrgyzstan, formerly part of the Soviet Union. I was surprised at the heavy accent because he was born and raised in Chicago. Nevertheless, he is an affable chap and an excellent waiter. Ask for him if you decide to try One Bite Dumpling. The place is well worth the short drive from our neighborhood of about 20 minutes or so. After only one visit, we already have this restaurant among the top half dozen places in our rotation of eateries.

Came and ordered the soup dumplings and the chicken fried rice both amazing will return again

The customer service was amazing and everyone was very friendly! I would definitely recommend their soup dumplings and pot stickers. One of the best dumpling focused businesses in Austin!

Holy cow. That food was DELICIOUS!!! I was sad to see Hao Hao's go from the neighborhood, but I'm glad One Bite Dumpling moved in. I ordered takeout for this rainy Wednesday night. The food was ready within 30 minutes, they were so nice and efficient when I got there, and it was such a cute remodel to the space. I'm excited to go through their menu and give more updates!

Tucked into the corner of a totally unsuspecting step mall, this delightfully delicious shop is very stepped down cafe style. Not a lot of art or ambience, just mellow Asian pop music, a couple TVs, and generic tables. The waitstaff is friendly and definitely not in a rush to get you out of the store. Take your time, eat several courses, you won't be disappointed. We had chicken pot stickers (delightful with the surprising pops of sweet in the corn), BBQ pork buns (always a winner), beef chow me in (good, nothing fancy), beef & bok choi noodle soup (excellent hearty broth, heavy on the beef, a little light on bok choi), and the start of the show: pork soup dumplings. None of us had tried soup dumplings before and now we're all hooked. I knew it was gonna be good when I saw dark vinegar on the table with the soy sauce. Amazing, we will be returning.

Saw Yelp reviews for this place and had to check it out. We started with egg rolls which were carefully formed and deliciously crispy. Could have used a bit more of the sauce to dip all 4 of them. Then we enjoyed the beef rolls and were surprised at the larger size, the slightly sweet flavor and the crunch of the greens inside. Our pork soup dumplings arrived and they were not too hot to take the whole bite at one time. I thought these could use a bit of seasoning so added some soy sauce. The chicken corn dumplings contained corn kernels with ground meat and were tasty. There are no dessert options yet but the waitress said they hope to add some in the future. We hope to come here again!

Food was delicious. My noodle soup bowl was definitely a favorite. The flavor of the broth was sooo good! I'd order the broth alone if it was on the menu. Portions are large and not what we expected for such a reasonable cost. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Big hit with the family.

The staff is very courteous and attentive. I has the chicken soup dumpling with radish salad. Both were delish. The dumplings are made fresh and serves. I took some potstickers to go and enjoyed them later in the day.

Mapo Tofu is on point and legit. Dumplings were yummy. Finally, a really good place in South Austin!!!

I was bummed when Hao Hao closed down, but I'm so happy One Bite Dumpling moved in and took its place! It seems like they're still decorating and getting in to the swing of things, but we had a great meal overall. Our server was friendly and helpful as we asked some questions about different items on the menu. We started with the Pork Soup Dumplings and Radish Salad. The dumplings were classic with a deep pork flavor and nicely steamed dough. The radish salad was really fun. We loved the crunchy, pickled kind of vibe the dish gave off. For our entrees, we got the Black Pepper Chicken Udon and Hot Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. The udon was really great and unlike anything I've had at other Chinese restaurants. I would highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you don't do spicy. The beef noodle soup was probably our favorite dish of the meal. It was heat spicy but also Szechuan peppercorn tingly. The noodles were delicious and the meat was flavorful and tender. We are looking forward to visiting One Bite Dumpling many times in the future to try more tasty food.

Great service & freshly made soup dumpling Xiao long bao. Heard good reviews of their dishes, hope to come back again and try

I was excited to find this new place in the old Hao Hao spot! The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was good. It's nice to be able to get fresh hand made dumplings in South Austin! I will definitely be back to try more!
