The food here is incredible! Everything tastes very authentic and very well cooked. We got the Shao Mai, Fried red bean buns, and fried fish's nd everything was phenomenal.

Asian style breakfast , lot of different foods. Chinese breakfast options include soy milk, sesame seed cakes, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and dumplings--a great place for the whole family to eat and drink on the weekend.

Mom and pop Northeastern Chinese breakfast spot. No frills and very homey. The food is fairly authentic to Chinese street food with the soy milk, tofu, dumplings etc. Their breakfast items seems to be made in house in addition to their tofu and soy milk. Solid local spot!

The minute we heard about a chinese breakfast place in Austin, we woke up early to get there right when it opened. We had the place all to ourselves! We ordered hot sweet soy milk (it was a very cold weekend which is unusual, and it was the perfect thing to warm us up). Of course we ordered pork and thousand year old egg congee, fried dough in sesame pancake, and then also egg pancake. I've had a lot of congee in my day (grew up eating it in Flushing on the weekends) and I have to say, it's the best pork and thousand year old egg congee I've ever had. Super authentic. We were in a hurry so we had to eat and run, next time I will definitely get a stuffed steamed bao because there were so many of them in bins sitting on the counter. I had FOMO leaving but our belly's were full and we were headed on a long drive.

The hype has died down and it's my second time here. You still order by QR code. The massive lines and wait times have diminished, it seems. Came in for a later lunch. Opted for Salty Soy Milk (still in stock this time!) and Savory Tofu Hua. The Salty Soy Milk was... an interesting rendition to say the least. First, the soy milk was not curdled, and there was an absence of sourness, meaning no vinegar had been added. Strange. This led to a lack of the satisfyingly creamy mouth feel typically associated with salty soy milk. Instead, I was left with hot soy milk that has some chili oil poured over into it, and with scallions, dried shrimp, and youtiao pieces. All fine. Except the flavors were not tied together, no doubt due to the missing acetic acid. The dou hua was fine and tasted as expected, consisting mainly of woodear mushrooms and tofu hua. However, towards the end of June, in the sweltering heat, eating hot food inside the restaurant isn't necessarily a great idea if you're looking to cool off. The ambient temperature within is quite warm, even when lightly clothed in running shorts and a t-shirt. This is the first time I've perspired eating hot food in a warm restaurant. Perhaps it was because the table was next to the window? I'm not sure, but clearly the AC was either not functioning or it was turned off.

When on a late weekend morning, there were still plenty of tables around. It was inside your typical Chinese restaurant. Tons of tables and seats and barely enough room to walk between them. They sit you down, and there is a QR code on the table. You just scan it with your phone and order. I got the cold soy milk, beef pancake roll, sesame beef sandwich, and beef noodles. The beef noodle was good, but I wish it had a little bit more kick to it. The cold soy milk was good, but it just needed a bit more sugar for my liking. The pancake roll and the sesame sandwich were decent. Overall, the experience is what I expect for any Chinese restaurant: poor service but great food. The food took a while to come out, but everything looked and tasted fresh. So if you are coming here looking for good service, I would look elsewhere, but if you are looking for actually Chinese food, this will be one of your spots. Once you are done, you just pay up front.

Long night of working on a finance digital transformation plan for a client. After I hit the submit button, I thought I treat myself to a nice breakfast. I yelped breakfast places near me and settled on Breakfast House based on its rating. I escaped our home while my husband snoozed. Pro tip: Do not fully use your gps on this one. My gps told me to make U-turn and then turn into the parking lot. However, I had already passed the restaurant. I ordered sweet potato porridge and a pork wrap. My porridge came in a mixing bowl size serving...enough for 4-5 people. It is something about the name porridge which makes you think you're in a fairytale or Aesop's fable. The wrap was freshly made and was quite flavorful. The wrap was enough for 2+ people. Needless to say, I had a lot of leftovers. However, since I'm traveling tomorrow and didn't want left overs seating in the car, I left them in the restaurant. Then I jetted off to some pre-travel errands. There is ample indoor seating and free parking. Laid back vibe... Good first time experience...

Hands down one of the best beef noodle soups I've had at a restaurant. I opted for a light spicy beef noodle soup and I couldn't have imagined it tasting any better. The portion was generous, as soon as the soup sits on the table you're instantly lured with it's aromatics. The noodles are cooked to perfection and I need to ask if the beef is halal because it was so soft and tasted very fresh. Everything in this bowl tasted divine. I'm not feeling well, I needed soup and Breakfast House delivered. Will be back.. again and again.

Great Chinese food from the northeast region. Didn't expect to find this in Austin area

I thought the food was good but kind of pricey. I enjoyed the braised beef noodle soup and the beef was tender but the broth and noodles weren't too special. I also got their sliced beef and pork which was alright as well. My friend really enjoyed their congee so I would probably go back to try. The workers were nice but there service was a bit slow. There is plenty of seating inside.

THE BIG: Located in North Austin right off of 183 north and inside the Plaza 183 shopping center. Inside is the no frills, traditional Chinese restaurant. Plenty of parking in the lot outside. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with a friend because we saw this on a influencer videogram. Man these influencers have a reach. We came here on a Sunday at 12 and it was packed. It's first come first serve seating. You order by QR code and then pay at the end at front. No American express is accepted FYI. We got the yu tiao (aka Chinese donut), shrimp congee, spicy tofu fa, glutinous rice balls, scallion pancake, and chongqing beef soup. The Chinese donut took forever to come out, but damn was it fresh and delicious. Paired very well with the soy milk. The other foods were great, fried and filling. My favorite bite of the day was the glutinous rice balls with sesame paste. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done for the feast was around $80. Lots of great food and definitely recommend if you're feeling a hearty Chinese breakfast/brunch.

Food here is pretty good, but service is kind of all over the place. I noticed they would forget drink orders here and there and we were also asked to relocate to the table next to us in the middle of the meal. That being said, the workers were very nice and did their best despite the language barrier with other patrons. We ordered the you tiao (fried Chinese donut) to go with some hot, sweetened soy milk. The you tiao came out first and was super hot and crispy. I love having it with soy milk and this pairing was just as good here. I also like that the soy milk wasn't too sweet. We also got the spicy beef noodle soup which was heavy with numbing spice. The beef was tender and flavorful, but the broth had so much mala I needed to take a break before eating the other foods. The noodles were a bit overcooked but not bad. The beijing sauce and dry tofu was very lackluster to me. The chicken was too salty and there wasn't much of a flavor profile to it. The tofu skin didn't provide much else to the dish other than being a wrap. This establishment does fried foods very well because the beef sesame cake was also very good. It was buttery, flaky, as well as sweet and savory. I really enjoyed this snack. Lastly, we also got the combination fried noodles, which was also not anything amazing. I do wish I tried some of the other things on the menu, so perhaps I will need to come back!

Krasti Q.

A small hole in the role restaurant. It's located in a plaza with ample parking. You walk in and seat yourself at an open table. Each table has a QR code you can scan and order food from. I tried their chili oil wontons, green onion pancake, Chinese donut and beef noodle soup. The beef noodle soup is the star of the show. I really enjoyed the texture of the noodles and the broth was very flavorful. Definitely worth trying. The chili oil wontons were a bit too salty for me. The Chinese donut was not as crispy as I would've wanted but still paired nicely with soy milk.

Everything I said in my last review is true. (I described the general nature of the place and some of the dishes we had) Since that first review I have had a chance to eat more broadly from their menu. Every dish either got a B or A +++++++++++++++ The A plusses were so dramatically good that I do not particularly care about the B's. My tablemates gave the sweet and sour chicken an A. The recipe is unlike any version you have ever had in the U.S. The sauce was A+ all the way. I thought the chicken was tough - But my ecstatic tablemates really didn't care. * * * But then my ecstatic tablemates did not want to go anywhere near my rapidly fried pork kidney. That pork kidney was one of the two greatest kidney dishes I have had in my life. First prize was a bowl of pig organ soup in Singapore. Second prize was kidney here at Breakfast House in Austin, Texas. Their trick is to score the kidney the way squid gets scored. Just as squid becomes more tender that way, Kidney becomes more tender with scoring. And the fast cooking allows it to retain a lot of taste Instead of kidney dissolving into sauce and vegetable. Add some good stir fried peppers (which is what Breakfast House does) and there is fine eating to be had. Another A +++++++++++++++ Is Sauteed Peanuts. I think the peanuts are sauteed with ghee or butter. Tablemates thought it was some kind of oil. Either way - the peanuts are as warm and comforting as if they had been sauteed in butter. I could not stop eating the darn things. You know how peanuts at a baseball game are supposedly addictive and you can't stop eating them? It has been a long time since I have had baseball peanuts that were nearly that good. These peanuts are pure heroin but you don't have to go into rehab after you eat them. One of these days, I will have to try sauteeing peanuts in butter and see what happens. * * * There were lots of other dishes on the table And the table was generally pleased. In contrast to my previous review, None of what we had except for one noodle dish was starch. (The earlier review talked about the starchy house specialties that are served.) So you can go carbs for breakfast at Breakfast House Or you can do general all purpose Chinese food for dinner at Breakfast House. Both systems work. Get up here fast. read more

Update since my last review: I went back recently and the quality has unfortunately gone down: The Fried dough (you tiao) was dry and tasted refried. The tofu soup (dou fu nao) was essentially only tofu and and soup. The fried noodles were very salty, but objectively the least disappointing dish. The beef wrap had cold beef slices in the center (which might be what their version of the dish is like, but pales considerably when compared to Julie's Noodle or Chens Noodle). Paying is also a struggle since they only have one payment terminal up front. The same payment terminal they use for takeout orders so we stood there for 10 minutes waiting to pay. Overall, highly disappointed with my recent visit and hope that their quality improves. read more

Cold Soybean Milk ($3.49/$2 VIP) Large cup of refreshing soybean milk. Would get again. Fried pork intestines ($16.99) Great flavor but I would have wanted some sear/texture. (Note to self, house of three gorges does a great fried one). Beef noodle soup ($13.99/$10 VIP) Very good deep meat flavor with similar notes to a Korean 설렁탕. They don't use soy sauce (or nearly as much) as the Taiwanese beef noodle soups which I liked. Wish there were more meat chunks though, I think I counted four 1-1.5 inch cubes. Tofu Soup ($4.59) This was a milder hot & soup like soup with lots of silken tofu. Great value and great flavor, especially for kids. Great service and the food was good, making it a pleasant experience. Would have gotten the donuts but $4 per seemed a bit much (VIP is $2 each). read more

breakfast house is a small part of home in this vast city. the menu has everything, from canto dim sum to northern breakfast foods to sichuan entrees and noodle soups. their xiao long bao was absolutely delicious! the clear beef noodle soup was warm and healing and came in a huge bowl. the crispy chili fish was so crunchy and tender, but it could use more peppers and spices. id definitely stick with the northern dishes here. another downside is having to share tables with strangers, but it makes sense given the size of the place. definitely a good place to go for nostalgic comfort food! read more

Came here on Easter Sunday. Not impressed whatsoever. You walk in and there's just chaos. I had to ask another person in line how it works. Apparently you tell the person at register how many people. Then she will seat you. You then order on an app which was helpful. We both ordered beef noodle soup but 1 was braised beef. The broth for braised beef was good but the beef itself was extremely chewy and hard. We definitely won't be coming back but it was worth a try. The place is extremely small and you can touch all the tables surrounding you. This is not a good place for parties greater than 2. read more

Really good authentic Chinese breakfast place in Austin! There are a lot of super authentic dishes that I feel like you can only get in China like the Tofunao and Youtiao. Everything was good. We also got the chive and egg pancake as well as the fried sticky rice with red bean -- both were good but I feel like they were dripping with oil. The Soybean milk was really yummy too. Highly recommend and I will be back. read more

3.5 stars if I could. Finally! I'm a huge fan of Asian breakfasts, and now there's a place dedicated to it--Chinese Breakfast House, which had its soft opening last week. Since I'm starting a diet soon, I figured this would be my indulgent "last meal." Walking in, the atmosphere really transports you--it feels like an authentic Chinese restaurant, from the decor to the service. I was excited to try the Pork Floss Egg Pancake ($8.99) because I love egg pancakes. While it tasted good, I found it a bit thin with not much filling. It had a slice of cucumber and hoisin sauce, which was nice, but I only really enjoyed it when I doubled the layers. For the price, I was expecting a bit more ingredients and thickness. The Braised Beef Noodle Soup ($12.99) was flavorful, with a rich Sichuan broth and a good balance of vegetables and noodles. However, the portion of beef left something to be desired. It was tender but lean, and I would have preferred a heartier cut like shank or tendon. Still, for the price, it was decent. The Savory Tofu ($4.49) was a dish I've been waiting for in Austin for years! We chose savory since the sweet version is more common. The tofu was silky and light, topped with what tasted like the broth from hot and sour soup--minus the sourness. At first, we weren't sure we'd like it, but we ended up slurping it all up. However, there was some confusion because the tofu didn't come from the kitchen right away, and many tables were waiting until they realized it was being served at the front. Pricing is very affordable. For two of us, it was only $26! As for the service, it's a mix of Chinese and Austin-style, so you order everything via QR code and flag someone down if needed. The app had a few glitches, like items not appearing in the cart, leading to some confusion when settling the bill. Napkins, bowls, and utensils are all self-serve. Despite the hiccups, the owner was incredibly kind and apologetic--you could tell they're still figuring things out and ask for some grace. read more

Dropped in on a Saturday morning just before 10am and there was no wait. The restaurant is very mom and pop/hole in the wall humble. Nothing fancy, authentic food, quick and extremely casual service. Overall the food was okay, but given the menu item options, I've had better elsewhere. I wasn't really impressed by anything enough to warrant a return visit, and for the price point you can get better restaurant vibes elsewhere (there were fly catchers filled with bugs, the water pitchers didn't seem clean, everything just gave an off vibe). QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in a shopping center strip. - Reservations? Nope, just walk in! Very casual. FOOD RATINGS: - Garlic eggplant (3/5) - Fried donuts (3/5) - Cold sweet soybean milk (4/5) - Beef roll (3/5) - Sesame bread bun (2/5) - Chive and pork dumplings (4/5) - Spicy fish tofu soup (4/5) read more

I stopped by this Chinese restaurant on Saturday while in the area. Don't let the name fool you. They offer noodles, dim sum and other items and not just breakfast based on the name. We ordered the green onion pancake, Chongqing noodle soup, spicy beef noodle soup and combination fried rice. Both soups were flavorful and hit the spot. It's soup weather and you will find these dishes comforting and satisfying. They are definitely living in the future with their to go containers. The meat and toppings with noodles on top and the broth on the bottom. That is such a good idea so your noodles won't get all soggy. Love that idea! I have never seen anything like that! The noodles had a great texture and the numbing sensation from the Sichuan peppercorn. The green onion pancake, however, fell a little flat. It lacked salt and could have used a bit more seasoning to stand out however that could just be my Westernized palette wanting sodium. The combination fried rice was good and definitely got the seal of approval from my little. She ate the veggies in it since it was good! The Chinese fried donut was good. Not sweet at all and delightful. Customer service was solid and ordering was a piece of cake directly on their website. I had friendly and attentive service here which added to the overall experience. The noodles alone are worth coming back for. A good spot for a cozy and tasty meal! read more

I always feel welcome and well taken care of at Breakfast House. It's such a gem in Austin for authentic Northeast Chinese cuisine. The dumplings are some of the best I've had, the steamed buns are fluffy and flavorful, and the sauerkraut soup is incredibly comforting. Beyond the food, what really makes this place special is the warm hospitality. Every visit feels friendly and genuine. Honestly, my quality of life in Austin is better because I have a reliable place where I can enjoy delicious, authentic food, feel warmly welcomed, and not break the bank.

I've gotten food from Breakfast House to-go a couple times now. Here is my general opinion on some of the items here: Beef Wrap - this was over-fried for me. Might just be a preference, but I like this to be crispy and not crunchy. It was a bit light on filling and there was no sauce provided either. Egg Pancake - this is a dish you can't get elsewhere. Simple, and probably easy to make yourself, but nostalgic for me. Spicy Beef and Beef Belly - pretty classic dish, nice and spicy. Chives Egg Pancake - another dish that is very nostalgic for me, I always enjoy this. Braised Pork with Glass Noodles - pretty good, the braised pork wasn't as tender as I would like. Beef Noodle Soup - always a favorite for me, would recommend trying here - every place that has this dish does it slightly differently. Overall, the menu is gigantic and the translations could use some work (and better pictures), but I think with this spot, you just have to find the best menu items through experimentation and those are the ones you re-order next time! read more

Be warned though: food coma is imminent here. They have many staples here which are executed to perfection - sweetened hot soy milk with the chinese fried donut is a classic pairing. The sesame cakes are also hot and crisp - you can really mash it up with a donut inside a sesame cake but that's a bit over the top on fried carbs i would think. They also got a lot of noodle dishes but I honestly think those were just ok. Beef stir fried noodles are plentiful and seasoned well but nothing too special. Pork and egg noodle soup was also nostalgic but it's definitely more on the gloopy side and while it has some of the white pepper and vinegar vibe, it's not for everyone, but if you need the old time sake hit, go for it. If you're coming with a group, just go after the dim sum items to try everything imo. Hear it gets packed on the weekends though, so come early. read more

I was recommended to come here by another family in the neighborhood. The name can be a bit misleading because although they do in fact have alot of good authentic Chinese breakfast dishes, this place is great for both lunch and dinner. It was immediately apparent when all the patrons and wait staff were conversing in Chinese. I'm glad I came with multiple fluent translators. Food was delicious. Food came out fast. Very hard to match the speed and efficiency of a well run Chinese restaurant. We enjoyed it immensely and we will definitely be back! read more

Authentic Taiwanese breakfast spot. Soymilk was tasty and fresh. Can get it sweet or plain. Fried doughs were also chewy with a nice crunch. Favorite was the shredded turnip pan cake. Came here for breakfast at 9 on Sunday and wasn't busy. Clean and spacious! Was seated immediately and you order through QR code at table. Once done, tell the cashier up front your table number (above the QR code) and they can ring you up or they'll bring the check to the table. read more

Peapod tips in garlic, needed more garlic in cooking, but fortunately not too greasy. Mapo Tofu on the moderate spicy side and a large portion. Braised chicken and chicken broth soup and a container of white rice. Nice place, not great, but good. Prefer take out given the crowd and small tables.

Started the meal with cocktails including Lycheetini with Deep Eddy Vodka, Giffard Lichi-li. lemon, cranberry, I cut the cranberry. Also had a Fresa Paloma with Socorro Reposado Tequila, Contratto, strawberry, lime, grapefruit, five-spice that was very sweet and garnished with a flower. You are given a card where you can mark your dim sum selections. I ordered the Shrimp Pancake, Snow Crab Ball and Chinese Sausage Sticky Rice. The standout was the shrimp pancake that had a really great texture and flavor. The snow crab ball had a strange texture with shrimp surrounding the snow crab claw. The Chinese Sticky Rice is always a favorite. Also ordered the Truffle Egg Fried rice and Birds Nest with Seasonal Vegetable. The Truffle rice is so flavorful like a flavor explosion in your mouth. The Birds Nest is made with fried potato shreds which contain the a variety of vegetables including cauliflower, peppers, mushrooms and asparagus. The nest is also edible and has a crunchy texture.

Service was fine but we were out front on the patio and though our waiter was attentive while we ordered, we ended up finishing and waiting 40 minutes for someone to come by so we could grab the check. I ended up just heading inside and the maître d' was able to close us out. Tables around us were open so I'm not sure what had them held up, and it could've been a one off, but definitely not ideal at this price point.

UPDATE: I changed this review from 3 stars to 4 stars... I had contacted the Tso's comments page…read moreand relayed the issues. I promptly received an email acknowledging the issues, with promise to communicate that forward. I also received a credit. The timeliness of the response made it clear to me that there is an eye to quality control and that there's earnestness in making things better. I'll raise my "C-" to a "B-" and will give them another chance. ------------- Delivery: It took 1hr 25min for an order of soup, spring rolls, and lettuce wraps to be delivered... on a Monday... after lunch rush... when the restaurant location is less than 2 miles away. Online order: 1:03p; food in hand: 2:27p. That was a bummer. It's normally 30-40 minutes. Food: The small container of the dipping sauce (packed in the spring roll container) had a warped, melted lid... it was packed at the top of my complete order bag, and I suspect that it sat under a heat lamp for about 40 minutes. The spring rolls were soft and pithy and soaked in in the sauce. Kinda yucky. No crunch left. Food: I ordered chicken lettuce wraps. That came in a bi-partition container; lettuce on one side and chicken on the other. The lettuce was totally limp. The lettuce was dark green and looked like it was the nasty stuff you might peel off of a head of lettuce that sat too long in your refrigerator drawer. I'm sure it started out fresh when the meal was packed, but putting it in a container with hot food, and then next to a container of soup, and then letting it all sit under a heat lamp for 40 minutes did it no good. I did contact Tso's online and suggested that they pack lettuce separately for their lettuce wraps. Food: The chicken, the hot & sour soup, and the spring rolls were all a bit salty... saltier than usual, IMHO. Tso's is usually a solid "B", but this meal barely met a "C-".

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was far below average--homemade meals would be much better. For a professional restaurant, the quality simply isn't acceptable. The decor and service were also underwhelming, adding to the overall disappointment. Given the poor experience, I'm surprised by the high rating.
