"Known for its flavors, clever cocktails, and the Si Baby-Q truck, which offered a unique dining experience." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The Zilker newcomer offers up modern Chinese fare on Barton Springs Road. There are skewered meats and vegetables, a decadent tea-smoked duck spread, and great noodles, plus fun cocktails. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Zilker modern Chinese restaurant Zoé Tong’s barbecue truck Si Baby-Q is hosting its next guest burger pop-up this week. This time, it’s New York City Korean Southern restaurant C as in Charlie, which will make a galbi burger with a char-grilled pickled green tomato, crispy fried gruyere grits, and a galbi jus. It takes place on Wednesday, November 20 from 4 to 7 p.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Zoé Tong is a modern Chinese restaurant co-owned by Chef Simone Tong in Austin. Before moving to Austin, Tong's New York restaurant Silver Apricot had received attention from the Michelin Guide's inspectors. She understands the international appeal of Michelin and its influence on attracting diners globally." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Nothing wraps up a day of sunshine like a plate of sizzling skewers and homemade dumplings. When you want that (and more) just a few short steps from Zilker Park, head to Zoé Tong. It’s a little upscale, but not so fancy that casual sneakers feel totally out of place. Start with small bites, then fill up on tea-smoked duck, koji-cured porterhouses, and tingly mala-heavy lamb noodles. And if you want to keep the fresh-out-of-the-sun vibes going, the cocktail menu features a handful of tropical-ish drinks, like sake and lychee slushies and green tea mojitos.
