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!

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.

Nothing we got really stood out - just okay. My fav was the fried dough. Can't really taste the turnip in the turnip cakes. There were noodles inside which I didn't like. Egg w pork floss was decent - if they turn this into a rice roll - it'll be even better. Beef noodle was too oily and I didn't like the type of noodle used. Congee was too liquidity. read more

As far as I'm concerned, this is the best Beef Noodle Soup I've ever had in my life outside of China. So clean and comforting. I think this soup cleansed my soul. @ Breakfast House in Austin, TX. 5 out of 5 tears. Also recommended: Soy milk (5/5) with YouTiao and Beef Wrap (4/5). I do not recommend their scallion pancake (3/5; too dense and lacks flakiness) nor their spicy beef tendon (3/5; spice is appropriate but lacks other flavors. I wish there was some hints of sweetness and vegetables like onions, scallions, and cilantro to provide more depth.) Verdict: 4.5 tears out of 5; Beef Noodle does a lot of heavy lifting here but is well worth the trip and effort. Serviced is a little spotty due to their business and knowing Chinese Mandarin, while not mandatory, is definitely helpful trait as it will make the visit easier. read more

I'm so happy Austin finally has a proper Chinese breakfast place. They've only been open 2 weeks, so they're still working out the kinks and the food isn't perfect, but I'm optimistic they'll get better with some time. We went on Monday night so there was absolutely no wait and the food came out quickly. That said, when chatting with the owner, he said they handmake everything with a small staff so even he acknowledges weekend service can be slow so fair warning. As far as the food goes, the menu is spot-on in terms of the offered selection. This is everything a proper Chinese breakfast place should have. The execution was so-so, hence the 3 stars, but I'm willing to go back a few times to see if they improve. Soy milk - The soy milk had pretty good flavor and wasn't too sweet, but for some reason, it's only lukewarm. When I get a hot soy milk, I expect it to be proper hot (with steam) so this was a minus. Salty tofu hua - It's nice to see this as an option but the taste was a bit one-dimensional. It was mostly salty and tasted kind of like a hot and sour soup without the spice and vinegar. Proper 豆腐脑 has a more complex flavor. Century egg pork congee - Nice amount of eggs and pork to give it flavor but for some reason it comes out completely unsalted. It's easy to fix but I gave feedback to the owner it should at least have a BIT of salt. Also, the texture is that of porridge (cooked rice mixed with water) rather than congee (raw rice cooked with water) but that's a nitpick. Scallion pancake - Flavor was ok but the dough is too thick and lacking in layers (which you can also tell by the lack of swirls). They claim it's homemade and you can tell. The frozen ones sold by Ranch 99 for $4 are better. Chive egg pancakes - The dough was a bit tough (probably overworked) and then overfried. The flavor wasn't too cohesive -- the dough was super doughy but not fragrant and the filling was salty with the heavy chive flavor. I think if they made the dough easier to chew and more salty while lowering the salt in the filling, it would harmonize better. They didn't have the fried doughnuts 油条 that is a MUST pairing with soy milk and they weren't sure when they'd have it bc they insist on handmakinf everything and they're waiting for some special flour that is backordered. Honestly, I think they should just buy premade ones since you can't be a proper breakfast place without these. Overall, not the best I've had but definitely the only place with this selection of food in Austin. I'll definitely revisit and hope they continue to improve. The owners are also super nice! read more

Went there with friends to check out this new Chinese breakfast place. I was born in Hong Kong and they seem to serve Northern style Chinese breakfast food. We had jelly egg and pork congee. It was lukewarm and tasted like MSG. I prefer boiling hot. I guess they try to make the temperature more "Americanised"? The sesame cakes are delightful. Too bad the fried dough was unavailable. The soy milk was also very good, rich and creamy. read more

This place is legit. Like legit travel to Taiwan and get real authentic breakfast. They have the Sao Bing / breakfast pancake as well as the you tiao / fried doughnuts that taste super fresh. Dip them in the home made soymilk which is 10x fresher than store bought and its paradise. They're new so their service is nice and the vibe/ambience is simple and not overly decorated. You come for the food and simplicity. Payment wise - they're offering a bonus $ deal if you spend a certain amount on a gift card, something like 100$ gift card = 10$ bonus, 500$ gift card = 100$ bonus For austin this is one of my new favorite. They're on point with their authenticity and while everything tastes good, there's still room for improvement. The sao bing we had weren't as flaky and fresh as if it was sitting out there for a while, but the fried doughnut was. I think they're still perfecting their craft so give it some time read more

Very unique breakfast option for Austin Texas. Giving it five stars because of what they serve and their hours: large steaming bowls of Congee 7 days a week, from morning till night. You can find some items found in a dim sum cart experience but this isn't exactly a dumpling house either. I also tried the bacon and egg roll and the owner, Harry, gave me a "Chinese donut" which was the size of a hoagie roll. Much like the soybean milk drink, it wasn't overly sweet which you can modify with sugar on the table. I went solo but you might want to consider going with a group of adventurous diners and exploring more of the menu while sharing the cost. With the right number of people you can order a variety of dishes and ease the burden of the bill. It helps if someone speaks Mandarin/Cantonese etc to help with language barrier or use google translate which is what I did. Love to see what people who have more experience with Chinese breakfast items think. This is the kind of place I would stumble upon when I lived in LA and explored the San Garbiel Valley.

A cute little Chinese restaurant in Austin, TX. They serve a lot of Chinese dishes that can be eaten for breakfast such as youtiao (long Chinese donuts) with soybean milk and congee. I got a more lunch appropriate dish which was the beef noodle soup. These beef noodle soups typically come with large chunks of beef which are fatty yet have a decent amount of lean meat on it as well. This wasn't the best beef noodle soup I've had but it hit the spot after not having it for a while. I ordered some scallion pancakes rolled up with beef for the table. Another friend of mine ordered cold spicy tendon. All of this was tasty. Service was quick although there was some misunderstanding on the free soy milk if you leave a Yelp review. The prices are a bit high but that is to be expected with Austin. read more

I've been here a couple of times, and I felt there were some inconsistencies in some items (chive egg pancakes were fairly different both times we visited) The Congee was a bit bland, and for me overall most things lacked a little in flavor.

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.

Ample amount of food and def had take away box. Everything was tasty and the buttermilk pancake was amazing with just syrup. Melissa was kind enough to provide little cups to take syrup home along with the tael away container. They had a daily special and a board above the kitchen with other items.

The Lox n' found croiffin comes with a toasted croissant roll, smoked salmon, ricotta, avocado, arugula, capers, pickled onions and dill. I added an egg for an additional charge of $2.

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.

Rather just have a latte or a beer? They've got beer on tap and in the coolers for take away purchase. Cider and other bevvies as well. Going to a dinner party and want to grab a nice bottle of wine? They've got you covered. Fancy a cocktail or a glass of juice? Have at it. They've also got a small shopping area where you can buy hot sauce, gift cards (to The Meteor), cups, mugs, and more. Wanna hang with friends? Nice interior decor with seating. Small seating outside in front of restaurant and a large covered patio in the back. Want a place to get some work done? Bring your laptop, they've got wifi for ya. Walk up to the counter, place your order with the cashier, get a number, grab a seat. Someone will bring out your food when it's ready.

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. Since the restaurant has only been open for five months, it's possible that the current rating doesn't fully reflect real customer experiences yet. read more
