One Bite Dumpling

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.

As a Houston foodie I know good Asian cuisine. Cucumbers salad delicious, great flavor. Soup dumplings juicy. Shanghai noodle was great I had to add soy and chili oil, they have homemade chili oil. Green beans perfectly cooked with wonderful flavor as well. All dumpling fresh and good.

Came for dinner and ordered pork soup dumplings, pork steamed dumplings, spicy wontons and braised beef noodle soup. All pork dumplings were so bad. The pork smelled rancid and tasted awful. There was barely any soup in the soup dumplings and the pork in the was mushy. The wonton sauce was grainy and too sweet. Beef noodle soup was just alright but doesn’t taste like Taiwanese beef noodle soup at all (staff told me it’s Taiwanese style). Overall, dumplings were inedible and noodle soup was not right. Staff was nice and helpful.

Eat it! We ordered the crab dumplings, pot stickers, spicy shrimp noodles, braised beef noodle soup. The shrimp in my soup were large and the broth was perfectly medium spicy. There was a unique bouquet to the broth that I couldn’t narrow down, but I loved it! The crab dumplings were very soft and simple. They weren’t trying to over do it. Dumplings are handmade right in front of you. Managed to get a free tasting of some fried rice. I think it was mostly fish and scallion flavored. It was perfectly sticky and clumped on my chopsticks nicely. We were told they use jasmine rice instead of long grain. I hope One Bite sticks around. We will be going back.

Please don't use orange chicken to judge how good a Chinese restaurant is. Been here twice, tried various things, pot stickers, beef noodle soup, fried rice, beancurd pork stir fry... are all decent. Since the buns and dumplings are hand made, those are really good. I really like the pan fried buns (and within 5 min drive is a plus, otherwise I'll have to go to the triangle to get it). Since the chief is from Jiangsu which makes sense the chili oil is sweet just as a person from Chongqing, I'm not used to it. This will be my lunch dinner go to spot 💜

So insanely delicious! I ordered the Beef Roll and Pork Potstickers. They were ready to pick up within 20 minutes, tasted fresh and full of flavor, and were perfectly crispy. The potstickers were genuinely some of the best I’ve ever had! I’m so glad this place exists in South Austin, I will definitely be back.

I went to this place because I was told that it's very reasonably priced for what you get. I was very surprised to find out that it was true the food was really good I got chicken fried rice and pork bok choy dumplings I didn't get to check out the restrooms I'm sure they were clean though the whole restaurant was very clean. This is a nice little hidden gem little mom-and-pop store and I think it needs a lot of love I definitely want people to come here if they can cuz I'm going to come again cuz it was awesome.

This place was amazing! honestly better than some of the food we had in China. The Sichuan-style dishes were super spicy and full of flavor, so worth it if you like heat. The staff were friendly, funny, and made us feel right at home. Great music, comfy seats, and an awesome vibe overall. Definitely coming back for more!

Amazing cucumber salad, soup dumplings, and bbq bao buns! Definitely will be coming back.

This place rips! We order the pork and the the crab soup dumplings, the hot and sour soup, and the chow mein; everything was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend eating here. It's great to have a south Austin dim sum place.

I tried the beef noodle soup, a classic dish with thick cuts of beef and a savory broth, and it is the perfect traditional rendition. From this dish alone, I can tell the restaurant really values quality and Chinese tradition. I will definitely order here more to try other dishes. The service is fairly quick and you don't need to wait long, even on a Saturday night dinner. The restaurant itself is very casual, good for lunch or dinner.

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.

There is nothing like a strip mall dumpling shop to bring back memories of my years in Los Angeles. A fantastic addition to the South Austin food scene, this is that kind of place that pops into your head first when you're thinking takeout. Pretty much anything is going to be better in the shop, though. Soup dumplings aren't going to travel well. The beef scallion dumpling was standout. You really can't go wrong! At the time of this writing their liquor license is pending but the application notice was up in the front window. Booze coming soon!

I'm sooooo happy to have an authentic Chinese place in the south of austin. And a bonus: it's good too. Woohoo. The beef rolls are a must try. They send you to heaven and back just to realize $14 is gone and you are still hungry for more. I love the soup dumplings too. I'll be back to try out more items on 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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

This place is doing great work. We were pleasantly surprised to find a soup dumpling shop in the neighborhood but honestly not one thing disappointed! We also ordered a beef roll pancake and loved that it had cucumber in it. The black pepper udon did have a little kick but not too spicy. The noodles and dumpling are high quality and home made. Can't wait to try more of the menu! Definitely recommend!

I do not understand all of these amazing reviews! I'm giving three stars and I feel that is very generous based on my experience and because they are new, so I'll cut them a little slack. First off, the service is extremely slow. After having been seated for quite a while, we had to flag down our server to place our order. We ordered 2 orders of pork soup dumplings for the table as an appetizer and it took 45 minutes to get them! We ordered a green onion pancake at the same time and it didn't come out for another 15 minutes. Also, the picture of the green onion pancake on the menu shows it being served with a bowl of sauce on a platter. When no sauce came with the pancake, I asked for it and she says we don't have any. It never comes with anything, just plain. Well, do you have anything to offer that we could dip it in? We were willing to pay for a sauce. She said no. Well that's misrepresentation right off the bat especially since there are no descriptions, only pictures on the menu. It appears they only had two servers for the entire place. It was not busy when we got there, but it was busier when we left, 2 hours later! Onto the food. The pork soup dumplings were cold. Based on the length of time it took to get them, I feel they must have been sitting there waiting to be delivered for a good while. Not only were they cold but they had zero flavor. My expectations were not overly high and they still failed. The green scallion pancakes were very doughy and did not seem cooked through. We also ordered the spicy chicken entrée for the table. Portion size was good. That's where the good stops. Again, the chicken was cold. It was also hard and dry and had a very funny flavor. We all agreed it didn't taste like the chicken was off, but that the seasoning was just awful. Also, because they do not put descriptions of the dishes on the menu, just pictures you could not tell that this chicken was fried. We thought it would be sautéed like all of the other spicy chicken dishes the three of us had elsewhere before. We probably left 75 to 80% of it plus a whole order of soup dumplings and were not even offered a box, which we would have declined but you would think with that much food left it would at least be offered. We sooo wanted to like this Chinese restaurant as there really are not any in South Austin to get excited about. The menu is large with a lot of nice offerings, too bad they couldn't deliver good food, and good service. The ambience was meh. Very plain. And the plates they give you to serve from the entrée platter are the size of small, saucers, way too small to accommodate anything without getting food on the table. They do have one smallish TV on a wall and it is lopsided and this restaurant just opened. I hope they get it together and do better. South Austin needs a good go to Chinese restaurant! I will not return, however, unless someone trusted tells me that I must try it again!

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!

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.

Finally we have some good dim sum in town! Beef chowmein is a 5, I love the crunchiness of the veggies and taste is yummy, a little salty but not, just right. Beef green onion dumpling it's good but I don't taste the green onion.. so it's a 4, wonton in chili sauce is a 4, waiting for pork soup dumpling, green onion pancake, all very good, however my jasmine Tea is warm not hot, however they fixed it right away. I feel like food took a while to come for pork soup dumpling and we end up canceling it. We will come back for the food, it does taste good! Everyone is nice here!

Great and fresh our new favorite! Best dumplings made fresh in the spot. Getting to popular so had delivery. Order on their webpage and save$$

We were so eager to try this new Chinese restaurant in south Austin, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the cucumber salad (must try), soup dumplings, braised beef noodle soup, and Mongolian beef. As someone who is allergic to shrimp, I was pleased to see their wontons are made of only pork which is very rare in Chinese spots. All were authentically delicious with decent portion sizes, and the service was very friendly. The dumplings definitely tasted homemade and we're looking forward to coming back soon to try their other dishes!

So glad to have another option for Asian food in the south now! This place is a great option if you're looking for affordable and delicious Chinese food in the south Austin area. They have an extensive dim sum menu as well as meat and veggie dishes and some more Americanized Chinese dishes as well. We got the pork soup dumplings, the sautéed bok choy with garlic, and the Yangzhou fried rice. Everything was fresh and tasty. The service was quick and efficient if not a little rushed and the restaurant itself is clean. This is probably going to become a go-to place for me when I want Chinese food but don't want to go up north.

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

What a gem! So fresh so good. The best dumplings and everything else. So happy you're in the hood.

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!

Finally!!! A truly delicious and authentic Chinese restaurant in south Austin. Basically you have this and sichuan river. We were very impressed with the quality of the soup dumplings. Also got the spicy chicken which if you ask for extra spicy, really hits the spot. Has the right flavor and they don't skimp on the chicken or peppers. Very excited to have this in the neighborhood, we will be back 100%

Derive was good and fast. I had the Mongolian Beef and an order of the chicken soup dumpling. Beef was very good with deep rich flavors and tender pieces of beef. The dumplings were super tender and the broth in them was lovely; light and tasty.

Was so excited to see a dumpling place so close to my stomping ground. Cool interior on a hot day was a nice touch. Waitress very attentive and brought a carafe of ice water so we wouldn't run out. Best won-ton chili oil in Austin. H&S soup very enjoyable (best was old Din Ho up North). Scallion pancakes Were nice and crispy. Last dish was dry pot cabbage which I had not had before. Very good if you're a fan of cabbage. I couldn't eat everything I wanted, so there are a lot of menu items yet to try! Can't wait.

Great dumplings. We went just after they opened a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will get an alcohol license.

I am a big fan. So happy that a dumpling place finally opened on the southside of town...even if it is way west. Until now, we would have to drive to Cedar Park any time we wanted reasonably priced Dumplings (Ling Wu is very good too, also west, like southwest pkwy west, and pricier for sure) They will come and take your order, but only have like 2 servers (as far as I can tell) so there is a QR code on the table and you can order directly that way. They use the ChowNow App. I love the selection of dumplings/potstickers/dim sum. I don't eat pork or shrimp, so I love that they have Beef, Chicken and Veggie options. I got the Chicken Pot stickers 2 days in a row, they are delicious They have slightly less entrée options, you won't find an extensive list of chicken entrees, but I did try the orange chicken and I really liked it. I have also tried the mongolian beef. That was good, but I like my beef slightly crispier, but it was still good. The garlic string beans are awesome, maybe my favorite dish that I tried there. Unfortunately the same dish with broccoli, I found the broccoli to be a little undercooked, and there wasn't enough sauce and the water that came out of the broccoli only made the sauce even thinner/watery. I think it could be a great dish with just some minor adjustments. I also got their crispy tofu. It didn't mention it would be spicy, and it was definitely spicy. I would get it again if I could get it less spicy, but I love that the tofu pieces are cut small so they get a good coating of batter and get crispy. The waitress said that their should have been an option for me to pick "mild" but I didn't see it on the app, so maybe for this particular dish, I will order it through the server. They close at 9:30 and are closed on Tuesdays. I am hoping that eventually they will be so busy they start staying open later. I am definitely going to be a regular here.

Only my worthless critique. Really want this place to succeed ! The pork soup dumplings were DRY. The ground pork lacked vegetables to keep the meat moist. It's new, and I wish them the best

As a former patron of the old Hao Hao Asian restaurant I was curious to check out this new restaurant that just showed up in its place. Checking out their menu online seeing they offered my fave dish Mapo Tofu just enhanced my anticipation. The menu is full of the usual suspects, lots of noodle dishes that looked pretty interesting and of course, a trio of dumpling offerings - Potstickers, Steamed Dumplings and Soup Dumplings. We arrived only a few days after they officially opened so I wasn't surprised to see just a few tables occupied at first however by the time we left the place was quite busy. The staff is friendly, the place is clean and you can see into the area where they form the dumplings which is a nice touch. Looking at the high gloss menus I got the impression that this may be part of a chain and I did find other restaurants with the same name scattered around during a web search. OK...the food. The Mapo Tofu was excellent with just the right amount of "tingle" from the Szechuan Peppercorns, it came with a side of steamed rice. I've ordered this dish in many ATX Asian restaurants and their version is up there among my favorites. The Pork Soup Dumplings were bite-sized and filled with tasty pork and broth and were most enjoyable, they were offered up in a bamboo steam tray. My friend's Fried Calamari was tasty but kinda chewy, not entirely unusual for that dish. So I was pretty happy with the taste and quality of the foods we ordered. However...I found the portions to be smaller than expected which was kinda disappointing. After finishing my Mapo Tofu and rice plus half of the Soup Dumplings I was still kinda hungry, and I hate leaving a restaurant feeling unsatisfied. The soup dumplings are truly "one bite" in size but again, very tasty. I'm sure I will return, it's great to have seriously good Mapo Tofu so close to home, the drive up to Jollyville for my fave Mapo is a bit much these days. I would encourage One Bite Dumpling to offer more substantial portions but the quality overall was quite good. I look forward to trying some noodle dishes next time.

Genuinely some of the best Chinese food i've ever had. The dumplings are exceptional, and traditional entrees and appetizers are also very flavorful. Service is excellent and staff clearly takes pride in how their food comes out.

Really enjoyed the food here. I'm glad we have a spot in south austin with some authentic food! The service was great too can't complain. Last it was affordable, can't beat it!

Over all this place was great! We decided to dine in to check it out. We miss hao hao! The food was good! We thought the sauces for the dumplings were lacking and there were a few mis leadings on the menu but all in all we would go back. The orange chicken was excellent! The server we had was pleasant and she seemed very thorough. Good place to go eat inside or just grab some to go food.

Uh-oh... I was WRONG!! 'Took two friends to dine in at 3pm yesterday and it was a dismal experience. Wait staff are unfriendly and RUDE. The hot and sour soup was the highlight. Noodles w/shrimp was overpowered by bell peppers and lacked flavor. Green onion pancake does not come with any sauce and was just ok. Beef roll, same. Bbq pork bun was lackluster and as we were leaving we saw that they were steamed from frozen. Horribly disappointing experience. And now this chef resumes the search for GOOD, fresh Chinese food here in Austin!!

Food was excellent. Understaffed but who isn't these days. Will de go back! Menu has wide variety. Dumplings were excellent

Finally a dumpling spot on South Austin! The noodle and dumpling options are so tasty. But the the scallion pancakes and the green beans are amazing and so fresh.

WOW! The soup dumplings, pot stickers and wonton soup were incredible! It was crowded and service was slow but we can't wait to go back and try several other menu items! I wanted to give it a bad review so it wouldn't get too crowded, but I just couldn't!

The food was 50/50 experience some things like the pork dumplings where lacking flavor the only thing I would recommend from here is the chow mein it was and maybe the orange chicken it had flavor but not much chicken mostly fried batter the egg rolls where ok not my favorite but some people might like them. The service was ok food came out quick and hot.

This restaurant needs to be half the size it is or less given the staff and speed of food coming out. I'm not sure if I came on an off day where they were short staffed but what I'm observing is the very opposite of fast. On top of that, I think I'm the only Asian person here in the HOUR THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MY ORDER TO BE COMPLETED. I feel like this restaurant doesn't know what it wants to be as I'm eating Chinese food and K-pop music wafts through the speakers. It's frankly kind of confusing. Anyone that reads through my reviews understands that value is of utmost importance to me and the ultimate question of this inquires what acts as the primary driver for the owner to operate a restaurant? Is this a cash grab or is there a genuine passion for food? That is the primary question I always seek to answer. Let's start with the good: - The chili oil is actually decent and they provide a healthy amount. - the clear broth noodle soup is very good. That's about it. Whoooboy. Let's get into it. Here's the bad: - The staff do not move with the urgency I would expect from people who know what they're doing. Water cups are left empty, inside the restaurant is uncomfortably hot and humid. -here's the biggest sin: food is coming out practically cool to the touch as opposed to hot leading me to believe that much of their dumpling food is prepared not to order but based on anticipation and then kept on warmers so as to not overcook and burst. When we ordered XLB, it was the first to come out but in less than 5 minutes, which is quite surprising and it typically takes a minimum of 7-9 minutes of cook time. When biting into, it was basically lukewarm soup that came out which not what it's supposed to be. And don't get me started on the wrapper consistency. Thin in certain places, thick like pancakes in others. Not at all a great experience. As of this writing I had waiting a literal 1 hr and 20 minutes for my order of beef rolls and it still wasn't on its way. It was "being worked on", the same status as 20 minutes prior. For those who don't know, assuming that the dough is prepped, it takes approximately 10 minutes to make as your mise en place should already be set to make a quick assembly and cook. As a comparison, Julie's Noodles which is 10x busier than this place can pop out an order of beef rolls in about 20 minutes from order submission to food hitting the table. While the food is generally what I expect in terms of taste, this is what I would expect to be sitting in my fridge coming home late from work. Down to the temperature. In fact that's exactly what this food reminds me of: reheated home cooked dinner. And that's fine for home. But restaurant? No. This smells, tastes, and feels like a home cook who thought that they could do this for a living and decided to open a restaurant. That might be endearing for some, but this is not worth the time, inconsistent quality, lack of urgency on the staff's part, and most of all, not worth my money. I would rather go to Dumpling World or Julie's Noodles. I'm very disappointed and sad that a place that would serve food that is so desperately desired here in South Austin has delivered such a lackluster and poor experience so early into its tenure. Oh and beef rolls were delivered finally....but to a table that sat down 30 min after me. TLDR: not a place that respects your time and money. If you're going to eat this food, you're better off ordering to go. But really, go somewhere else. 2 stars. Awarded only by chili oil and good broth. Edit: I gave up. I asked for a refund on the beef rolls. And she keeps typing the same thing into the tablet and then cancelling. I think she's playing me. Either she doesn't understand the POS system or she's just scamming me for an order.

Very clean place Very good calamari maybe don't get it spicy if u don't enjoy the heat 8/10 Cucumber salad 8/10 Veggie eggrolls 8/10 Soup dumplings 6/10 Pot stickers 7/10 Beef roll 9/10 Not the cleanest bathroom No alcohol drink selection (sad face)

The food was good and the server was great. Only problem was Fox News(no volume) was on at a busy lunch time. I let them know I didn't think any politics should be on at a public restaurant.

Great soup dumplings. Best I've had in Austin. Also recommend the sting beans, chili oil won tons. Din Tai Fung's younger step sibling vibes.

Everything is amazing here! South Austin needed a place like this so badly! I'm so happy

The food was great the service was good and the prices were outstanding. It's a no thrills for ambience but I'd rather have good food and lower prices. We will definitely be back

I ordered the broccoli beef, orange chicken, chicken fried rice, and the pork soup dumplings... all were very good. I will definitely be coming back here and I'm excited to try more things on their menu.

The service was good and the restaurant is very clean. The food was just OK. I had the soup dumplings and there was barely any soup in them. The taste was alright. The greens beans were delicious, though.
