The Best Austin Restaurant Dishes of 2021, According to Eater Austin Editors | Eater Austin

"I wanted to try a new-to-me restaurant so we decided to trek up to Twin Panda, north of Jollyville. The Chinese and Chinese-American fare selection is strong — the orange chicken is great, as was the egg drop soup and crab puffs. But I was particularly taken with the spectacular Indonesian section. I ordered the beef kwetiau, a wonderfully flavorful stir-fried noodle dish made with sweet soy sauce and big chunks of scrambled eggs. I loved it so much and I was thankful for the leftovers I ate for lunch the next day. —NC" - Erin Russell

When you are in Austin, please please come here if you are craving for Indonesian food. We came here twice in our 5 days visit here. We love ❤️ their Nasi Padang, chicken noodle ( Bakmi Ayam), Nasi Goreng , Sop Buntut ( Oxtail soup) , Ayam Kalasan ( Marinated Chicken) . They really nailed their spices, so delicious and tasted like food back home. We are so happy 😃 that we came here and leave with our tummy stuffed and happy.

Tried the ayam penyet and we get free soda! (that offer is on every friday btw.) Ayam penyet was very tasty and the sambal that accompanied it was not disappointing at all. The waitresses that served us was very friendly and polite.

Great food and excellent service every time! This is a must-visit spot whenever we're in Austin. Can't wait to return!

A very down to earth Indonesian family restaurant. We need more places like these. My friend recommend the oxtail soup which was super flavorful and had a generous portion of oxtail. We also got the nasi kunig (yellow rice) which was solid and at a weekend discount. The rest of the menu looks amazing though. Can’t wait to come back!

Had a few meals here that have been great. Price point is good and the food is really consistent. Only leaving a review because the service can be hit or miss, especially since I think they have been training a new person. Otherwise good little spot.

First off, I want to say that I hate writing bad reviews especially when the owners are milling about the restaurant asking patrons if they like the food. I really wanted to like the food here but I consider myself an honest reviewer and I can't in good conscious rate the food higher then a 2-3. It was THAT bad. So lets start with the Fried Wontons. As you can see from the photo there was almost no stuffing in the wonton itself. A few were so bare even that when my wife opened one all we could see was emptiness. For $6? Unacceptable. Then comes the Thai Ice Tea. It was good but this restaurant like some others decided to charge a lot for a small amount, as if it was something special and expensive. Thai ice tea is black tea with cream and food coloring. $3.50 for a tiny jar? Unacceptable. Then, the Combination Lo Mein. Extra greasy/oily with so much sodium I had a hard time eating it. I've had better in so many other places around Cedar Park and Austin. Next, the Sweet n Sour Chicken. Unbelievably bland with zero seasoning. It was only eatable with the sauce. Next, Sesame Chicken. One of the better dishes we had but still surprisingly bland with very little flavor. Honestly, the only dish I can complement on was the hot and sour soup which was both delicious and definitely a thumbs up. Overall, I'm shocked this place gets so many good reviews. The owners are super friendly and the ambience is nice but the food, compared to other Chinese places around lacks flavor, depth, value and taste. Go somewhere else.

Good spot for Chinese fusion. Did a take out order and the food was good, including the quantity. Staffs were very friendly and helpful! The place is small but nice - lot of Chinese/Indonesian decor stuffs are placed around which are nice to see. There are vegetarian options but if you are a strict vegetarian do make sure your food has nothing else when you get it (just as a precaution) Oh and they do have baby high chairs for toddlers. The seating area for dining in felt a little dim light (not sure if it was my eyes though!) There is enough parking as it’s located within a plaza.

The best Indonesian & Chinese fusion restaurant in town! I come here quite frequently for some comfort food and it never disappoints me. Today, we had pastel, lemper and soto medan from their weekend menu, and Tofu hotpot. The Tofu hotpot is always a 10/10. It has a slight kick to it, but not too spicy and the thick broth goes very well with rice. It has abundant chicken, shrimp, tofu and other veggies too that definitely fills you up. Their weekend special menu changes every week, but the app/snack options don't really vary much by each week, so if you happen to be here on the weekend, I highly recommend the pastel and lemper. They are small, simple but very tasty.

I was so excited to try this spot because of the good reviews but left feeling so disappointed with the taste/quality of the food. The fish although was fried perfectly, very crispy, but the dish was completely ruined due to the extreme saltiness. My tongue was so numb from the salt I couldn't even eat the skin which was my favorite part... The beef rendang was also way too salty. The best thing about this dish was the egg and vegetables were decent. The soup on the side was quite the opposite, way too sweet. Almost tasted like a dessert.

I was browsing around on Yelp yesterday, as I too often do (Lol!), and Twin Panda caught my eye because, at first, I read it as Twin Peaks, and I used to love that show! Anyway, the reviews look great, and Indonesian food is something that Hubby and I have never tried before, so we're headed there for lunch today. I will report back... We just walked in, and this place is cute and homey! They have a super-sized area of packaged snacks like taro chips, banana crisps, rice cakes, and other Indonesian faves, I'm presuming! (We're buying a few things to take home. Why not? ) When we sat down, they gave us these DELICIOUS crispy bits with sweet and sour sauce that we demolished! I opted to go the Chinese route with the Cashew Chicken combo with a pork egg roll, white rice, and Wonton Soup! Chris dove into the deep end of Indonesia with the Kari Kambing (Lamb Curry) which I applaud! He has just added Nasi Padang as a second lunch choice for him, since the delightful lady who took our order is Indonesian, and she said that this was one of the most popular dishes over there! This, I further applaud! What did we think of it all? Cashew Chicken combo with a pork egg roll, white rice, and Wonton Soup: The soup came out first, and it was piping hot! Perfect for this cold weather! The wontons are meaty and excellent. This soup is what you want when you're feeling a bit under the weather and needing a warm hug, for sure! The broth, y'all! Bright, clean, and so dang yum! The Cashew Chicken is the best that I've had in a seriously loooooong while! Plenty of cashews, tender chicken, and a dark and delicious sauce base! I'm a happy camper who would most happily reorder this! Kari Kambing (Lamb Curry): This just came out, and Chris is in love! He calls it a definite reorder, and he destroyed it in no time! He says to be very careful with the spice paste that comes with the lime on the side plate with the rice. His mouth is en fuego , but he keeps adding it, so he's about all that spice! He loves this one! Nasi Padang: He opted for the beef rendang on this one, and he said that you could cut it with a spoon! It's clearly been cooking for hours. Very reminiscent of pot roast with savory Indonesian flavors. The spicy egg on it has almost a sweet and sour vibe, and it's a perfect combination with the beef rendang! It also has a delicious vegetable curry on the plate! Another reorder for him! Bottom line, this place is LEGIT good, and absolutely worthy of the Yelp praise! Such a killer find, y'all! FYI, they have a surprisingly good beer list and wine on the menu, which we would have partaken in, if this weren't a quick lunch! Thanks so much, Twin Panda! And welcome to our regular restaurant rotation!

Ordered Cashew Shrimp, Egg Drop Soup, Crispy Egg Roll , Hot and Sour Soup Cashew Shrimp was tasteless. Do they know what herbs and spices are? Wife said Egg Drop Soup tasted like dishwater. Shrimp had a fishy taste, probably not kept at proper temperature. I wouldn't eat here again if you paid me. AWFUL!!!!

The staff was extremely friendly, restaurant is small but clean. On Mondays they offer lunch specials all day with the purchase of a beverage. We ordered an iced tea and a green tea. The green tea was in a box, that's fine, but they didn't even bring or offer a glass to pour it in, and we were dining in. The portions were big, especially considering this was the lunch portion. But the food itself was just ok. Very salty. Probably won't revisit.

I am sure the Chinese food here is fine, but we like to come and explore their Indonesian menu. I can't say I've had anything that I didn't like. This time we tried the soto betawi beef soup and the smashed chicken. We also enjoyed the Tempeh appetizer. My son enjoyed the soda gembira drink. Some concoction of flavored syrup, sweetened condensed milk and soda water. Many more options to come back and try. There are lots of people waiting four to go orders. But there is plenty of seating in the dining room. They also have a small Indonesian, grocery selection, if you are feeling adventurous and want to take something home.

Austin does not have much of an Indonesian food scene if at all, so Twin Panda really is a hidden gem. It's a small family owned restaurant that I am happy to support. Service is very friendly. They even sell a few Indonesian snacks in the restaurant. Sure, they have your typical Americanized-Chinese food, but if you truly want the best of what they can offer, order off of their Indonesian menu. I recommend getting a taste of their Mie Tek Tek Goreng, Nasi Goreng Ikan Asin, or the Nasi Padang! All of their Indonesian dishes are authentic, delicious, and comforting.

I was recommended to go to Twin Panda from an Austin group I am in.So I was very excited to try! I was able to order my food online and come in to pick up. I think they may also offer delivery. Lots of great options, especially for non-meat eaters. I tried the tofu and broccoli combo and substituted fried rice. The combo also came with hot and sour soup, veggie roll, and a soda. Also, I tried the bihon with tofu. I wanted to try a little of everything so I also got a side of edamame. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal! It was tasty and very filling. The Bihon was very delicious, I'm a big noodle dish person so I enjoyed it a lot. I wish you could add a sauce to the tofu and broccoli, it does have added flavoring from the broth or oil it's cooked in but there is no additional sauce with this dish so I added my own. The fried rice was just okay, not much flavor on its own. This was a great local restaurant to try. Good portion sizes with friendly and fast service!

The Indonesian food is absolutely delicious here. I just discovered Indonesian food last year through some friends in Austin and they have introduced me to this fabulous restaurant. Unassuming on the outside but offering fabulous food within! A must try!!

We really like the food here to make up for lost time with Indonesian food only 2x coming for lunch I was very disappointed because 2x came before 3:00 which means we arrived at 2:00, after 10 minutes. We were so disappointed.

This place has a Normal menu and an Indonesian Menu. The inside is smalll with about 10 tables. Stopped here for lunch and the staff was super friendly. We ordered off the Indonesian menu and had the oxtail soup and pempek (fish cake) dish. Both were delicious. The oxtail fell off the bone and the Pempek was nice and light and not too fishy..

We had the mie tek tek, pan fried noodles with chicken, egg drop soup, egg rolls, and cheese puffs delivered. Everything was fantastic! The mie tek tek had way more vegetables than expected which was much appreciated. Will definitely order again!

Food is okay, not a wow. Order several Indonesian dishes, love the ayam penyet. The nasi kapau is far from original. The steam rice (nasi tim) is okay. Missing the chilli sauce for it. Inside the restaurant, they have a tiny groceries corner selling indonesian snack. The service is friendly, however very slow. Server also not very knowledgeable with the menu. Overall is a 4 star for me.

I'm happy to report that Twin Panda is open again after a couple of weeks when they were closed for repairs after someone drove a car through their front window. I live only a short drive away, but the reason this is one of my family's favorite Chinese/Indonesian eateries is the quality of the food. Twin Panda is not a chain; it's a modest, family-run restaurant owned by friendly and welcoming people. Some of our favorites are the dumplings, various combo plates, beef sticks and spare ribs. Don't neglect the Indonesian specialties, either; my favorites are Kwetiau (flat noodles with a protein), Kari Kambing (lamb curry) and Nasi Padang with Beef Rendang. We've never had a bad meal here.

Neat little place serving halal lamb. The owner assured us he personally bought the lamb from A halal grocery store. Other than that, there were plenty of seafood items to choose from which were all delicious. Glad to have visited and love helping out local business owners whenever I can.

Excellent excellent food! The best South East Asian food in Austin! Excellent service too! My husband had been craving Nasi Goreng, which he used to enjoy for breakfast during our trip to Indonesia. I am so glad to have discovered Twin Panda and their Indonesian menu. All the food was flavorful and so fresh. The portion sizes are very generous. I had the spicy eggplant as the vegetarian option and it tasted delicious. You can see the kitchen and the love with which each order is being prepared especially for you.

Heard about this place from my Indonesian friends. They hyped it up a bit so I thought I'd be disappointed. Well, they were not wrong!! This review focuses on this restaurant's Indonesian dishes. They have regular Chinese food and a separate menu for Indonesian dishes. On the Indonesian menu, it says to ask for weekend specials, but when I asked them, they told me they're not doing it anymore. So I waited until after my second visit to write this review, and after today, I think they deserve full marks based on service and food. Service is fast and very friendly, and it's not just to the people who speak Indonesian. Inside the restaurant is very casual; nothing fancy there. Their food, however, is amazing!! I dunno what they put in their dishes but I want more of those (most likely spices). Between two visits, I'd ordered 4 of their Indonesian dishes, and none of them disappoint. Their Nasi Padang has a variety of toppings (pro tip: get it with beef Rendang) that all taste really good. I also tried their Ayam Penyet, which basically fried chicken (not breaded) served with rice, fried tofu, fried tempeh and Sayur Asem!!. Soto Betawi is beef soup cooked with coconut milk, and their bihon goreng is something I haven't found anywhere else. Other than Nasi Padang, they served the chili on the side; Nasi Padang is spicy. They also give you some fried dumpling skins with sweet sauce as appetizer. The dumpling skin has a very unique taste that pairs really well with the sauce. Honestly, all of their food taste very interesting (in a good way!!), and their portion is also generous in my opinion. Other reviewers also mentioned the small store in the back. They have a variety of things you can buy, but they're mostly snacks and food items. You can just take them to the table, and let them know what you get when you pay for your meal (there's no separate checkout). I tried some of the crackers (the white curly one and tempeh chips), and they're so good!! I'll definitely try to get some more things from the store, but after the meal, I was usually very full. This will definitely be part of my trip whenever I visit Austin now!

I've never tried Indonesian food so I jumped at the opportunity. It didn't disappoint. The Cap Cay (seafood, meat, veggies) was delicious. I enjoyed the flavors and textures of this dish. Additionally, I grabbed a Hot and Sour Soup from the Chinese menu. Really good -- nice flavor. The parking area (strip mall) is not particularly large but we didn't have an issue finding a spot. Based on this introductory experience, I would definitely return to try more dishes, from both the Indonesian and Chinese menus.

First time eating Indonesian food. I had Cap Cay. It was delicious- with three or four kinds of fish and chicken, and perfectly cooked vegetables in a comforting broth. My husband got his favorite Chinese dish: orange shrimp. He was very happy with how crispy it was, even covered in sauce. We will define back to try other dishes that the server recommended.

Dad and I are huge fans of Indonesian food, so we were super excited to try Twin Panda. We weren't disappointed. The two of us shared nasi padang and oxtail soup, and boy did it hit. Full of flavor and meaty tenderness, the combination warmed our bodies as the weather outside was particularly chilly. Oxtail soup included fried potatoes, carrots, and bits of tomatoes. Surprisingly, the soup wasn't greasy and had an umami level of depth. Every bit of the nasi padang -- beef rendang, curry coated jackfruit, a deep fried boil egg dredged in chili sauce, and rice -- was absolutely five star worthy. My only critique is that the portions were a bit on the tinier side. Nonetheless, it was enough to leave my dad and I thoroughly stuffed. Staff were nice and checked on us from time to time. We will definitely be coming back!

Couldn't be more happy with my experience at twin panda over the last 10 years. I am sad to be moving out of state and can no longer enjoy the delicious foods and company of everyone who works so ridiculously hard every day at twin panda. I'll be at twin panda any time I'm back in Austin. I recommend about anything from the Chinese or the indo menu

Twin Panda was a lucky stop for me, as I just stopped to grab dinner one evening, and wasn't expecting to have the best Chinese food I've ever eaten. We had the chicken with vegetables, pork egg rolls, hot and sour soup and cheese puffs (crab rangoons), and everything was delicious! Super tender high quality white chicken, amazing fried rice! Everything was perfect!! Service is friendly and informative of the diverse menu. I've used them for party platters too. Always delicious and excellent, professional service. Highly recommend!

We had to walk away from our "GoTo" Asian restaurant as they were so, so, busy. Started searching again thru "Yelp" and found this little jewel close by. "Twin Panda" is a very nice little eatery off of Palmer, just North of Interstate 45. It's not a "hole in the wall" as co-owner Zack describes it. It's a nice family owned restaurant with an attractive theme and an inviting atmosphere. Lot of folks dining in and to go order prepared on shelves. That's always a good sign for me. Zack answered all our questions, regard sauces and allergy concerns (No Bell Peppers for us). The prices are reasonable and our togo order took about 15 mins from order to "here ya go." We ordered: - "Wor Wonton Soup", excellent refreshing flavor, they did not go crazy with soy sauce, so it had a very light flavor. - "Combination Fried Rice", shrimp, chicken and beef, sautéed and prepped for eating. The portion was huge. - "Chicken and Vegetables", nice white sauce, fresh tender vegetables and juicy chicken. A must for the healthy conscious family. The whole family got real quiet while we ate, which means they liked it. Twin Thumbs up to "Twin Panda" restaurant for the love they serve here. Michael C., Georgetown, Tx.

Would I recommend this place? Ummmmm YES, YES, and one more YES just to be dramatic. There aren't enough adjectives in Webster's dictionary to describe this place. The owner is from Indonesia, so it's authentic. There is a Chinese menu, but we only ordered from the Indo menu. As you can see from the pictures, my wife bought and ordered almost everything on the menu (insert laughing emoji). We ordered the nasi padang, sop asem, mie ayam, pempek, sate ayam, and the ayam penyet. Everything was delicious! I wish I could tell you one dish was better than the other but I can't. The rendang was juicy and the coconut flavor was not overbearing. The chicken was moist and the fond (crispies) from the chicken mixed with the white rice are dynamite. The place is very small but they serve up some amazing food. It might be off the beaten path, but I highly recommend this little gem.

I rarely find good Indonesian food when I travel. Twin Panda is the ultimate Indonesian culinary delight in Texas, and it brought me back to all of the home cooked meals I had growing up in Jakarta. The nasi padang explodes with authentic flavors, while the sop asem offers a tantalizing sour note. The mie ayam boasts tender chicken and savory broth, while the pempek presents a crispy and aromatic sensation. The sate ayam delivers a perfect balance of spices, and the ayam penyet steals the show with its succulent and perfectly seasoned goodness. Each dish is a testament to Twin Panda's dedication to authenticity and deliciousness. I can't wait go back tomorrow.

I am a regular here and this place never disappoints us . Our usual order is the Nasi Padang - combination with beef and chicken and it is always amazing ! The beef and chicken are well cooked with the right spices and the spicy egg is a treat. It comes with enough rice and some cucumbers and a veg dish usually which is nice . Very filling and right on the price . This place also sells Indonesian spices, snacks and sweets and is a must try for authentic Indonesian food !

My husband loves fried fish (especially Tilapia) and I just happened to be in the area when i Yelped for a place that had this ...and Twin Panda pulled up. I had the pleasure of meeting a young lady (I forgot her name) and she recommended some dishes to try. I did notice they had a lunch special menu which had Chinese food entrees and then there was also their Indonesian Daily Menu...which is what I ordered from. I never had Indonesian food before so I was pretty excited! I got there when it first opened so the wait time was 30 minutes to get my food, but it was worth the wait. My fav dishes was definitely the Ikan Goreng (deep fried tilapia) and the Bihon Goreng yumm! Nasi Padang and Ayam Penyet had some interesting flavors to it ..but I wasn't too fond of it but that's ok! Overall, their food is great and I will definitely be back again and try some new dishes. Would love if you can deliver to Pflugerville too!! :)

My very first time trying out Indonesian food. It was a great experience. Recommend getting there early before noon time because that place get packed and quite noisy. It's so cute how they have a display of all kind of snacks that you can purchase from Indonesia. The appetizer snacks were my absolute favorite. They recommend that you order a day ahead of time to have there to eat and for togos for those ones. Everything had flavorful spices. Recommend checking out this place if you are in Austin Texas.

My husband wanted to find who had the best Sesame Chicken, so my family and I went to Twin Panda based off of reviews, and they were right! The food was wonderful! I had Beef & Broccoli, my daughter had Chicken Fried Rice, my husband had the Sesame Chicken, and of course we also had their Vegetable Egg Rolls, omg they were so delicious! This place was a little further for us since we live in Leander, but it was worth it! We definitely will be back, and I told my co workers about it as well! Go try Twin Panda, you will be glad u did!

Not many places to eat Indonesian food in Austin, but this place is a gem! Order off the Indonesian daily menu and come with a group to try all the things, although you can't really go wrong with anything on this menu. Everything was delicious and the prices are actually pretty decent. They have a good size parking lot and the noise level is low.

First time ordering today 7/3. Ordered the Mongolian beef combo which was great. However only giving 4 stars because it was supposed to come with steamed white rice and I didn't receive the rice in my to-go order. I had to go and check my order to make sure it was supposed to be included. Didn't notice until I was home unfortunately.

Re-reviewing and re-affirming the initial five stars from years ago. While the biggest casualty of inflation may be that their lunch specials have gone up a good few bucks, it's still more than worth it. Ever single time I come in I know exactly what to expect: fast, kind, and attentive service, good speed with which the food comes out, and quality in which it's always piping hot to the point that I tend to need to wait a minute or two before digging in and covered with a great quantity of sauce and food. This spot has been owned and operated by the same family/group of people since it's beginning and it's great to see them doing well and managing to weather the COVID craziness and make it out the other side. My ordering recommendation for anyone here is their beef with garlic sauce & wonton or eggdrop soup. The garlic sauce has a great mild level of spice to it that still lets the garlic shine through, their soups always have the same great flavor and have never slumped in quality, and as stated before, the quantity of the lunch special of entree, soup, egg roll, and complimentary fried wontons for right around $9 makes this always an amazing afternoon meal.

Heard from a friend that this place had really good Chinese food, but when we arrived the waitress gave us two menus; one for Chinese food and one for Indonesian specialties. We decided to try the Indonesian food because she seemed very excited to recommend dishes. We were pleasantly surprised to start the night with crisp wonton wrapper and sweet and sour dip as a free appetizer. I chose a fried chicken entree and my husband chose a fried fish dish which the waitress said was her favorite thing on the menu. Both came with rice and soup. The chicken was extremely fragrant and though the breading was different from the fried chicken you'd usually expect it was delicious and juicy on the inside! My husband was surprised by the bones inside of the fish though I'm not sure what he was expecting from a fish from an asian restaurant haha. Would go again!

It's a small restaurant, very friendly service but they can be busy and slow. I noticed most people were to place take out order so they were busy answering phone and run food to front rather than seating us or come take our order.. food was just okay but it is great value meal especially during lunch.. so I am willing to give another try with different menu but take out

Absolutely delicious Indonesian food! I wish I lived closer, then I could come by every day! Service is always friendly, but due to Covid, I've been ordering takeout. I always get the beef kwetiau and my boyfriend gets the spicy whole fish. The kwetiau is perfectly seasoned with yummy chewy noodles. I always end up finishing the entire thing in one sitting (even though portions are big). My boyfriend is obsessed with the spicy whole fish! If you do order it, be careful with all the little bones. But, it's definitely worth the work!

I just moved to Austin and am so happy that I found an Indonesian restaurant here. I grew up in Indonesia and can only go there every year so having a good Indonesian food option in the city is awesome. The menu is pretty limited, however I enjoyed everything I had so far. The nasi padang is really solid (I've eaten it 5 times within a month - ok I'm crazy) and the bakmi ayam is hearty and delicious. The gado-gado is a great option for vegetarians, altho I wish it includes some tempeh goreng like how it's usually served back in Indonesia. Everyone I interacted with in the restaurant has been extremely friendly. Oh, they also start selling some grocery items in the restaurant. I was able to take a screenshot of the list. Definitely will buy some stuff from that list next time!

I was craving Padang cuisine that I had in Jakarta and Yelp led me here. They have a small Indonesian menu from which we ordered Nasi Padang with beef rendang (slow-cooked meat in coconut milk and spices). The food did not disappoint. It had all the flavors my tastebuds were looking for. I will definitely come back to try the remaining items on the Indonesian menu! As far as I know, Twin Panda is the only place in Austin where you can get good Indonesian food so wishing them all the luck to make it through this pandemic!

My favorite place to go to for some tasty authentic chicken! I really enjoy their menu & I strongly believe many others would as well Highly recommend checking this place out if one has the cravings and time

I come here with my husband at least once a month to enjoy the most authentic Indonesian food he's found in the US so far. We often bring our friends and love grabbing TONS of snacks, drink mixes, and sauces from his childhood while we're here. We love it here so much that Twin Panda kindly catered our wedding reception, since my husband's family was not able to travel from Indonesia to the states. He got to enjoy a taste of home on our wedding day, and we got to share Indonesian cuisine with all my family members! Everyone loved it and many said they wanted to visit the restaurant next time they were in town. Our favorites are the oxtail soup, smashed chicken, and rendang!

Amazing food, I live in San Antonio and will drive over an hour just to have it. Owners and staff are very accommodating too.

the chicken was so dry I could have used it as a club. It was basically an expensive brick. I couldn't even get my teenage son to eat it, and he is practically a dumpster! The sauce was awful, not even sure if they gave me the correct type. Basically: DO NOT EAT HERE!
