    This place is authentic as it gets. Knowing Austin, there isn't much around here especially places that serve Chinese BBQ. It has very old school Chinese restaurant vibes all around but the menu is still friendly to you who don't know what to expect. I would order bbq by the pound up front sometimes for take out. Outside of bbq, the other dishes are still pretty good.

    Wow! Huge selection of authentic dishes! So many to choose from I honestly couldn't decide. Fresh, flavorful, big portions and great price point! The waitress was very helpful when I had questions about the menu. I really enjoyed my pick.

    Me and my boyfriend came here for dinner the other night and I wanted to make sure to leave a review. The service here was great! Our server was very nice and our food came out pretty fast. My boyfriend ordered the barbecue pork and roasted duck which was very yummy. It had a lot of flavor and the texture of the duck was perfect. I ordered the Kung pao chicken and wasn't as impressed with it to be completely honest. It was lacking in flavor and they asked if I wanted it to be spicy or not and I said yes and it really didn't have much spice in my opinion. We also got a thing of hot and sour soup and oh my gosh it was such a big portion which I loved! It was a little bit different than your traditional hot and sour soup because it had a lot more filling in it and less broth. Overall I would recommend this place but I am interested to try out some different items when we return.

    Sunday funday and we decided to go eat at one of our favorite Chinese restaurant in Austin! Their flavor and food is authentic and they have a massive selection of dishes to pick from. The food always comes out piping hot and fresh. We went here on a Sunday for lunch was able to grab a table without waiting. Sooner after the restaurant was pretty filled. Service was fast and the staff and owners still remembers me! We got our favorites here which are the salted fish chicken fried rice. Soo good and seriously hit all the salted fish taste! It's the best one in Austin. Other places just simply doesn't make it like here! Our other favorite is the general tso chicken which is seriously the best flavor and general tso chicken I've ever had in my life. I tried bamboo house and they came in second for general tso. First Chinese barbecue general tso is simply the best! The funny thing is I wasn't a general tso chicken fan until I had this dish here. Note they updated their menu. The general tso chicken is not on the menu but they can still make it for you! Third dish we order which was recommended by the waitress was 419. Beef Flat Noodle & Black Bean Sauce & Bell Pepper! First time trying it here and it was super tasty! The veggies still have their crunch and the black bean definitely came through! If you love black bean, you should try this dish! Unami to the fullest! Perfect balance of freshness and the flavor was delicious! Do I recommend this first Chinese barbecue? Yes if you haven't been here you are missing out on good eats! Trust me eat here because that is where you get the authentic Chinese food for a reasonable price!

    This is my go to spot for Asian food! It's very authentic Chinese food in my opinion. From the basic fried rice to seafood stir fry I love almost everything from this place and you can't go wrong. The prices are good and the portion are big! The service is very quick and prompt here! It's a very casual restaurant but great for small groups or big ones with their circular tables. Definitely my top top favorite Asian restaurants in Austin!

    Quiet before the dinner crowd. Servers were extra attentive as I usually just place an order for pick-up so dining-in was special. It's great to be recognized and appreciated ;D The Chinese BBQ pork, roast duck, and select roast pork are tasty! Love this place as it's authentic...

    THIS IS A MUST PLACE VISIT EVERYTIME I VISIT. They offer such a variety of different foods that ranges from vegan, chicken, beef, seafood and so much more. They have noodles, rice, and fried options. The service is always great and they aren't skimpy on the portions. I highly suggest dining family style to try different meals instead of eating one dish a person. The place is such a vibe and spacious seating. They even offer take out right at the entrance.

    I LOVE this place, my whole family does. They have one of the best wonton noodle soups in town with reasonable price and quick service. We order takeout and it was super fast, they can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese. A tip is, it's cheaper to call in and buy the roasted meat by weight rather than ordering a meal. We usually order their char siu and roasted duck separately, then eat with anything we like at home.

    Such an authentic low-key Chinese restaurant! Everything was so affordable but also of great quality! The roasted duck here was amazing, so full of flavor, as well as the bbq pork. Perfect sweet and savory taste. The roasted pork skin was so crispy! Everything paired so well with the fried rice and chow fun noodle dish. I liked my wonton bbq pork noodle soup but it could've been a bit saltier. The wontons were perfect though, especially when dipped in the soy and sate sauce. Good service, food came out quick and the server was very friendly! Can't wait to come back for more of their duck!

    Salt and pepper fish. Not very good.

    7 years later...we came back to try BBQ pork (char siu) today. It was DRY. They were busy and I saw it being cut fresh so how on earth is it so dry? This will be our last time. Seven years ago wasn't a fluke.

    Needing a fresh start to Chinese New Year we turned to Ho Ho to lift our spirits. Located right off…read moreof I-35, Ho Ho is tucked away into a shopping center but should really be more accessible because this place makes some good Cantonese style Chinese food. We ordered for pickup and they had the food ready fast and pickup itself was a breeze. The price felt very fair for the amount of food that we got, which is nice to see as many Chinese places now seem to be getting much pricier. After a short drive back we were very excited to dig in. Here's what we got for our New Year feast: Steamed pork dumplings - some big dumplings, packed with filling and not too bad on flavor Salt and pepper pork chop - very good. Salty flavor and good spice from the peppers Singaporean noodles w/ chicken - phenomenal, deep flavor and texture. Best dish out of all Beef chow fun - wet style chow fun is very good, beef was perfectly tender and flavorful Plain lo mein - simple but tasty, executed perfectly with good noodle texture Ho Ho excels at Cantonese style food, maybe better than any other place in Austin. This trip knocked us out of the park and we can't wait for our next excuse to come here. They do offer dine in as well and have a pretty large inside area so maybe we'll sit down formally next time. Either way, convenient, good value and good food as well makes this a standout choice for Chinese food in the North Austin area.

The establishment outside is run down but we were surprise to see the inside booths/tables were nicer than the outside. There are live tanks of seafood when you walk in.

Lunch special is from 11am-3pm Monday-Friday. The general tso chicken is salty and was not well balance. The chicken was dry. It was lightly battered and fried. The sauce was one note. The stir fried flat noodles N12 combination was under seasoned and needed more soy sauce. The squid was not seasoned at all. The shrimp was imported shrimp and was not good. There were still poop lines in the shrimp. You didn't get any smokiness from the soy sauce at all. Do I recommend this place? This place was a staple in atx but with my Overall experience with the food quality I cannot recommend this place. We have had the roasted pork before and it was ok. Not the best we ever had but meh. Where we were seated we can hear the cooks yelling at each other in the kitchen. There are other restaurants in Austin that are way better.

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.

Uber and DoorDash jack up the menu prices like crazy. Order four or five dishes and you'll save around $20 just picking it up yourself.

    This is definitely one of my favorite places in Austin for Asian food and soup dumplings…read more Definitely need to make a reservation because this place is small and always packed. When you arrive, everybody is so nice you give them your name and they get you seated right away. I ordered a drink called a signature tingling Daisy and it was so good. I definitely could've had so many but I was driving so you gotta pace yourself. We started off with the soup dumplings, which are just phenomenal. It's a must when you go. Also, for appetizers, we got the spicy cucumbers which were divine and a hot and sour soup, which was perfectly balanced and not watery. We also got a beef fried rice and let me tell you that rice is so soft and delicious. You literally dream about it the next day. I also got the pecking duck which is delicious there the skin is nice and crispy and the meat on it taste so good. We also got the Kung pow shrimp with cashews, which was delicious and the pieces of shrimp were gigantic. We also got the green beans which is were delicious. I love ordering green beans when they're cooked just like the ones I posted in the photo. Then for dessert, we got the chocolate mousse which is that little dog cake. I know it's so cute and they made it a little hard to eat because you feel bad in a weird sense. It was delicious now I will say when cutting it and realizing the inside had a raspberry filling, made it a little more crazy cause it looked like blood, but it was still so good. This place is definitely an awesome staple and a must visit when you're in town or just always go and have food there whether it's date night or friends catching up or anything in general even on your own.

This could have been my mistake but I don't remember any choice in the matter. The greeter wasn't very friendly and borderline surly when I asked for more details about how to not book the bar in the future. Didn't get any explanation but fortunately, we won't have to worry about that... The food was just awful. We ordered 3-4 types of dimsum (onion pancake, soup dumplings, chu shou, fried shu mae) and three entries (orange beef, eggplant and their take on ma pao tofu) for the best tasting experience. The curry sauce for the onion pancake was probably the most flavorful dish of the night sadly. The onion pancake was way way over fried-- hard as a rock. If that's their take on onion pancake... well, it's just wrong. The soup dumplings were passable but a bit doughie and the filling was full of a lot of noticeable coagulated fat -- not clear and broth-y, with light surface droplets of oil as all delicious broths. My wife enjoyed the chu shou -- I found the filling much too overcooked and tough -- difficult to eat with chop sticks. Like a tough, overcooked meatball. The fried shu Mae were just plain inedible. My wife and I each ate one and left the rest. The included sauce was basic and too heavy. And again, over fried. There was a huge delay between our apps and our mains, like 40 minutes or so. Various bar staff apologized. It wasn't a big deal, we were in a good conversation and they were super busy but our mains were not at all worth waiting for. Small portions. WAY over sauced. WAY too salty. WAY too sweet. No distinct flavors at all. The ma pao didn't seem to have any Szechuan pepper at all. How do you miss that ? The plating of the eggplant dish was really creative but I don't eat with my eyes and it came with no instruction -- my first bite was just flavorless steamed eggplant cube -- second was mixed with one note sauce. One of the better mains IMO but it was still gloopy and pretty gross. Wife did not enjoy it. The orange beef was essentially just six or seven cubes of tough, fatty beef covered in over-the-top bitter orange peel. We each had a cube and left the rest. Honestly, give me Panda Express any day over this abject failure of a restaurant. Austin needs more Chinese but if it's anything like this place, forget it. I'd rather spend a 4h round trip to Houston and go to even a mediocre Chinese restaurant than endure another meal at this place. What a waste of $165. Edit: I wish I was making this up but I literally had to pull over to throw up on the side of the road on the way home. The food did not sit well with me. I have no underlying health conditions, am not on any medicine that would have this as a side effect and only shared one beer with my wife. It was just a very, very, disappointing and gross meal.

I came here on a word-of-mouth recommendation, and I was intrigued before I even sat down. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully designed waiting area showcasing the restaurant's many awards and accolades. It immediately sets the tone that you're in for something special. We came with one goal: try as many things as possible. Saturdays are perfect for that because they offer dim sum. We started with the Pho Xiao Long Bao (Wagyu beef soup dumplings) and the Korean pancakes. The soup dumplings completely stole the show. Perfectly cooked, delicate wrappers, rich and flavorful broth, and with just a touch of chili oil...absolute perfection. I've had soup dumplings in many places, and these are hands down the best I've ever had. I say that with my whole chest. The Korean pancakes were also outstanding. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that perfect balance of savory and just a hint of sweetness. Every bite had great texture and flavor. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Banana Salmon. It was spectacular. It's one of those dishes that makes you question whether you've ever really had good curry before. The spice wasn't about heat, it was about depth, warmth, and layers of beautifully balanced flavor. I ordered the Crab&Shrimp Tom Yum Coconut Fried Rice, and this dish deserves its own paragraph. The presentation alone is stunning. The fried rice is served inside a fresh coconut, surrounded by banana leaves and topped with a beautiful orchid. But thankfully, it tastes every bit as incredible as it looks. The coconut adds a delicate sweetness without overpowering the dish. The crab was plentiful, sweet, and incredibly fresh, while the shrimp were perfectly cooked, not a second overdone. Dishes like this require impeccable timing because every ingredient cooks differently, and somehow every single component was flawless. It was one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever eaten. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was warm, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations based on their most popular dishes. They even told us about their live music nights, which immediately gave us another reason to come back. The table next to us was having Pho and needed with the mango sticky rice and I am coming back for that. Overall, 1618 Asian Fusion delivered on every level, beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, and genuinely welcoming service. It's one of those restaurants that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend!

    Their lychee martini is to die for. I'm not a big fan of lychee as fruit but combined with…read moremartini, it turns into something else, so gooood!!! The lunch was delicious and the interior is modern and cool. They have some live concerts on some of the evenings and that's when I want to come next time.

    Back to Shanghai and I believe they improved so much since the last time I visited!…read more We came with a large group of 12 people and all to be seated at a lazy Susan with no wait during Sunday lunch. Ordering is still done with the QR code so we had one person order all the food and then we split the bill afterwards. You have to pay first before the order gets sent to the kitchen. The service has improved slightly, with us being so close to the kitchen. We were able to flag down servers to help us get an extra plate, tea cups, etc. Got a variety of dim sum classics: hargow (shrimp dumpling), siu mai, rice noodles, custard buns, chicken feet, chow fun, egg tarts, soy sauce noodles, charsiu bao, turnip cake My favorites are the siu mai, chow fun and custard buns! They also have non-traditional dim sum dishes such as soup dumplings, which actually originated from Shanghai. We got them and they were ok. We ordered a second time to get more custard buns but it seemed they ran out so it took some time for them to make them fresh. When they finally came, the buns were not smooth and it really looks like the custard was about to burst. Someone bit into theirs and the custard exploded onto their shirt. However, we all had a good laugh and still enjoyed the food. Have to have tea during dim sum so we also got our puer and chrysanthemum tea mix. Not sure if they usually charge for this, but we got it complimentary! Yay! If you are familiar with dim sum, then you know these are smaller dishes meant to be shared among the group! Everybody ate and was satisfied. Each person paid about $25 after tip! There's a designated parking lot with lots of spots. If you are looking for a dim sum spot that is not too busy, this is the place to go to!

    Was so excited to try dim sum that wasn't 20+ minutes to get to up north but my experience wasn't…read morethat great unfortunately. The bad: disorganized service. Ordering is through QR code and they did not know what order went to which table. They put food on our table and took it back to a different table TWICE. The good: the dim sum tasted legit. I'd recommend the shrimp rice roll. If service was better and their ordering system was more organized, this could be such a bomb place!
