    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!

    Congee

    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...

    Spicy beef noodle soup
    Pearl G.

    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

    Beef noodle soup
    Darian C.

    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.

    Beef Sesame Cake
    Jacquelyn C.

    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!

    Beef noodle soup

    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.

    Great food!

    I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about this tiny restaurant in an older strip mall bearing…read more a big blue sign that said "Diner" on it. But I enjoy new experiences and menus with eclectic dishes. The menu had few choices for breakfast and I was unsure why it was suggested as a breakfast place. It's actually a good place to eat any time of day! The beautifully decorated patio provided the perfect welcome into their modestly decorated air conditioned restaurant and bar. When I say bar, it's more like a 1950s bar that you can sit at and have a meal at. Although drinks and meals were offered any time of day! The waitress was pleasant and helpful in suggesting add ons with my meal. But being a purist, I wanted to try it as intended. The food arrived in the normal amount of time. When I first saw my mozzarella omelette I was a little surprised! It didn't look anything like what it was described as! Oh well! I thought. Let's give it a try! My taste buds were happily amazed! Could this omelette smothered in mushroom gravy, green "pesto" and bread crumbs be the best omelette I've ever had?! The mushroom tomato gravy was so smooth! Along with the cilantro avocado topping. That tasted more like pesto, gave it the perfect zing! I had wished I the had ordered some toast to dip in the sauce. I could have done without the bread crumbs. But they were easily swept to the side. The amount of mozzarella cheese in this omelette led me to believe it was more of an omelette lasagna than a plain old omelette. This place is definitely a must if you are visiting Austin!

    The cornbread muffins are a MUST for cornbread lovers!! They were tasty, soft, and the…read morejellies/butter that it came with were also yummy. Surprisingly, it was my favorite dish because ... The brisket benny was very disappointing. The hash brown casserole was terrible. It had zero flavor. It was a ball of mush. The brisket was good! It carried the plate. However, the biscuit really brought the overall dish down. It was my least favorite Benedict dish that I've had, personally. Nevertheless, because the cornbread muffins and brisket were good, I would certainly go back! I'm sure there is something else on the menu that I would love (as I've heard great things about the diner) but unfortunately, this visit was below expectations.

It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.
