Twin Panda

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.

Amazing hospitable service! All smiles. Fantastic authentic flavors of Indonesian cuisine. Many times bordering on Malaysian food. Hard to find that cuisine in Austin so go try it out! Chefs are mother and son. They have a Chinese menu too. My kids loved the Chinese entrees as well. But the Indonesian food was amazing! Legendary - as good as it gets • Pork egg roll • That Chili oil. Especially paired with Pork Eggroll Must order every time - really good • Kari Kambing - lamb curry OMG ** close to Laksa from Singapore although the latter has seafood • Soto betawi - beef coconut curry soup - although sweeter than the lamb curry above - although if getting Lamb Curry, can skip this • Nasi Padang *** this is beef rendang AND chicken different sauce. Both served over steamed rice with a Sambal. *** • Nasi Goreng Indonesian fried rice • Raw red chili paste - this is hot! • Chicken in garlic sauce Meh - just ok • Pork Bun • General Tso’s- my son loved it Could skip • Wonton soup

I don't live in Austin but staying in the restaurant's area. I like Chinese food. Good food, Sweet and sour shrimp and an order of dumplings pork. Nice people!

9/1/24 Review for Twin Panda in Austin Driving up from San Antonio just for dinner at Twin Panda in Austin was absolutely worth it! The food is nothing short of amazing, bursting with the delicious flavors one could hope for. Each dish is a delightful experience, making the journey with the family worthwhile. The staff at Twin Panda are incredibly welcoming and polite, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. They maintain the restaurant impeccably, ensuring that both the dining area and restrooms are spotless and well-maintained. If you're looking for a place with fantastic food and exceptional service, Twin Panda in Austin is definitely the spot to visit. Highly recommended!

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.

Highly recommend!!! 10/10! My favorite restaurant! I come here literally all the time at least 2x a week. The food is soooo good. Not over-seasoned or under-seasoned. Just perfect! I always get their Indonesian plate and probably already tried everything on the menu. My favorite this far is their Nasi Uduk special. Omg it’s delicious! Check them out and you won’t be disappointed. The staff is attentive and professional. The place is very clean. The price is affordable and the quantity of the food is plenty.

Very much a hole-in-the-wall, and family owned. Absolutely the most delicious and fresh food. I highly recommend the Szechuan beef! The wonton soup is INCREDIBLY flavorful. The staff is so kind as well. Their to-go seems pretty busy, so I’m sure that service is well run too. Plates seem to be family-style for sharing, but my husband and I like to order multiple and take the rest for another meal. Prices are fair. It’s a small establishment, but you won’t be disappointed!

Just WOW!! This place the staff and the atmosphere Amazing!! But above all.. THE FOOD! Omgosh so yummmy! You have to try this place and they have great lunch specials! Affordable! I always get the orange chicken and fried rice!
