    Table setting
    Kenny N.

    Went here during a weekend and it wasn't too busy yet, which was great. Got to sit down pretty quick and looked at their huge menu of food. Decided on one noodle soup and one stir-fry noodles. The spicy beef noodles soup was great. Wide, chewy noodles in a somewhat spicy broth, great during those few days or weeks of coldness we get. The stir-fry noodles were great as well, the same type of noodles but with beef, onion, and tons of spices. The restaurant itself is a decent size with multiple tables for smaller ones to larger ones for larger parties. It shared a huge parking lot with other shops around it, so parking will not be an issue here.

    I was driving by, looking for a place I can get miso or noodles. I haven't been here and so I gave it a try. The young man was helping me with menu, he was very nice. I got Chinese eggplants in garlic sauce and sesame chicken, both come with white rice. Eggplants were good, but I wish they were spicy. Sesame chicken was also good, but I had to eat only half, after finding a couple of not appealing pieces. Refer to picture below. So anyways, I would recommend, but I don't think I will be eating there in the future.

    The Liang Pi is to die for! I came specifically to try it, and it did not disappoint. The noodles are handmade, you can really taste the difference. They're perfectly chewy and soft, mixed with sesame paste and seasoning. Served cold, it has a savory, tangy flavor that's very refreshing. We also tried the Biang Biang noodles, which aren't really my thing. The noodles are larger, softer, and incredibly long. I think the oiliness makes them less enjoyable for me personally. Spacious restaurant, suitable for family gathering. Service does take a bit of time but totally understandable due to order choices. High recommended!

    A friend of a friend wanted to eat here and they were not able, so we decided to come try it. What an incredible food and Service! Cantonese wonton in Chili Oil we're excellent! And the Pan fried dumplings were also delicious. We ordered the"Biang-biang" spicy handmade noodles vegetarian and Fought finish every last bite The Dried sautéed green bean lunch special was an especially good idea with hot and sour soup and steamed rice. We are already planning what to have on our next visit: stirfry green beans with eggplant and spicy chili dumplings with a selection

    27. Cumin Marinated Beef w.Biang-Biang Noodles Loved it! Tender cumin beef and those chewy biang-biang noodles were perfect together. 74. Crispy Spicy Chicken - Loved how crispy it stayed and the spice made it addictive. Big portions for both dishes. Excited to try other dishes, especially some of the authentic Shaanxi dishes.

    HUGE PORTIONS on the House Fried Rice
    Ricky R.

    This place has some of the best House Dried Rice. Their Fried Rice reminds me of how it tasted Beck in the 90s out of the small take-out carry cartons (Those cartons breakdown into a bowl). The portions are HUGE in the Fried Rice. The service was great and people were friendly. Thr place isn't always packed which is fine with me, but I think they're good enough to be.

    Love love love that we have a place for hand pulled noodles because I've tried to make it myself several times before, and it's hard to get those noodles perfect! My first impression of this place though, is that it's a little understaffed. I came on a Wednesday evening, and I think they only had one person serving the whole establishment. He looked super stressed and frazzled, and there were a lot of tables that hadn't been cleared yet, so there were a lot of used dishes around. But he was still super friendly and helped us get seated. The menu is also another beast to navigate. There are soo many options, I was starting to get a little bit of choice paralysis because I wanted to try practically everything. Also side note: I asked the server what the difference between the hand made noodles and the biang biang noodles were. And he said the biang biang were wide flat noodles while the handmade one were more the shape of udon. But my friend ordered something with hand made noodles and it still came out with the wide flat noodles. But regardless, he did say that both noodles were made in kitchen, so it's not a big deal but it did cause some additional confusion. Anyways, the food came out pretty quickly and everything was delicious! I loved the texture of the noodles. They were so bouncy and chewy and even better when covered in the sauce. It does take some working at to get everything mixed with the sauce but it's worth it! The meat is super flavorful, and the spicy is the perfect amount of spice. I def wanna come back to try some other menu options though!

    beef 27. Cumin Marinated Beef with "Biang-Biang" Noodles
    Leila L.

    We visited for an early dinner Sunday (around 5ish) and the place was quite busy! We got a seat in a booth and were able to order through an online QR code though they also gave us a menu. The options are a bit overwhelming but we tried the beef cumin biang biang noodles and the crispy fried chicken. The portions were generous. Next time I think my husband and I could share just one noodle dish. The chicken came out later and was piping hot. We definitely had enough for leftovers. The pricing seemed fair for the portion. I wanted to try the cucumber dish but it felt pricy for what it was compared to the main entrees. Maybe next time. The taste was very authentic. I'm glad this place is up north as an asian option. Only thing that fell a little was service. It took a while to get attention again for a box and the check. Otherwise I highly recommend!

    Definitely matches the hype and all the Tik Tock recommendation. I love that they don't cater to the select few palate because they don't ask how how and what level of spice. You just have to be prepared for spicy because of how it is made. Love it. We went several time and working our way down the menu. The lady is always happy to help and balance out meal and make sure we didn't unintentionally order if the same. They do have the self ordering with the scan if you see they the waitress is too busy. They are a small business so please pack your patience because it's well worth it. Trust me the noodle is very good and worth the try. Don't order the fast food Chinese, they have way better food here that you can't find elsewhere. Leave the orange chicken at Panda Express.

    98. Egg Drop Soup
    Kevin I.

    Been going here enough that we are now considered regulars. All the things we've tried have been amazing. The crab puffs and soups are among the best. The egg drop soup is flavorful which is usually my complaint elsewhere. The seating is informal and it is ALWAYS busy but we've rarely had to wait. To be honest, almost everyone eating is Asian, which I consider a key indicator that the food is authentic. Their hand made noodles are so very good especially with their hot oil...which is very, very hot. Melt and numb your tongue hot. We're going again tonight.

    #27. Cumin Marinated Beef with "Biang-Biang" Noodles
    Sarena T.

    Got a dish that I really enjoyed this time! #28 with the pork and handmade noodles. The sauce is pooled at the bottom so make sure to thoroughly mix. Came on a weekday and there was no wait, though it was not empty by any means. Many tables were uncleared and still had dirty dishes for a while, giving it that family establishment feel.

    Exceptional authentic and delicious Shaanxi flavors with generous portions! Fast service and all of the food came out soon after we ordered. They have a large selection on their menu at reasonable prices. Convenient ordering with the QR code at the table and many items had pictures online for consideration too. This place was highly recommended by friends and I was very impressed. I was pleasantly surprised by the large plate of Pig Ears in Spicy Chili Oil. Usually other places serve this dish as an appetizer small plate. Definitely enjoyed eating more! It had the perfect texture, tender exterior and crunchy cartilage interior. The Cumin Marinated Beef with Biang Biang Noodles was my favorite. The beef was so flavorful and savory with a nice punch of garlic and chili. The hand pulled wide noodles are wonderfully springy and chewy. The paired veggies were bok choy and red/green bell peppers that also provided great crunch and color. The vinegar sauce is at the bottom of the bowl, so make sure to mix thoroughly to enjoy the full flavor. Crispy Spicy Chicken was amazing and actually had a lot of chicken, as opposed to just mostly being chili peppers. The exterior was so crispy and the interior was incredibly juicy. The toasted peanuts and green onions on top gave extra crunch. For the veggie dishes, we got the classic Eggplant with Garlic Sauce and Dry Fried Green Beans. Both were fantastic and paired well with our meat dishes. Bowls of rice can be requested and the number of free ones are based on the number of meat/veg dishes. They do fill the bowls overflowing the top, about 1.5x a normal bowl elsewhere. To go containers and plastic bags are conveniently placed on a table near the front counter for you to pack leftovers. It is located in the middle of a shopping plaza next to HEB, so you can get groceries afterwards. Plenty of parking in the front and side of the plaza. They have a relaxed atmosphere and 2 TVs on the wall that play music and cooking videos. As a noodle lover, I am excited to try their other noodle dishes next time!

    In a plaza off near the HEB behind the Starbucks. Came out to meet with a girlfriend and was promptly sat it's a stereotypical Chinese restaurant with a large menu some normal American Chinese take out options and then some options for those who want something more authentic! Service is sub par and not super helpful but the food especially the noodle dish and fried chicken we ordered were superb. I'm taking one star off for the slow service and no refills for waters after being there for a couple hours. Other than that the food is really tasty but the menu is super large so from now on we'll use yelp and point to the pictures of what others have ordered!

    Austin's Vietnamese food scene over the years has been lacking but year after year, more authentic…read morespots are opening and my search for the best authentic Vietnamese restaurant is finally complete. Austin's 100% authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Bun Bo Hue: chewy noodles, fresh big chunks of pork and soft beef. The bowl is made the way I would make it at home, tons of meat. For less than $16, it's the best value to dollar to meal in my opinion more than pho or ramen. It is a bowl full of dark and light spicy flavors of soup. Fresh toppings on top, a big piece of pork blood cake. It's as good as Houston BBH. The banh cuon, man, taste like Vietnam. Fresh fresh fresh rice rolls, not too oily which I appreciate, nice textures of the ground pork which is nicely seasoned, sliced woodear mushrooms, and crispy onions on top. The bean sprouts are nicely steamed and sliced cucumbers add a warranted cooling taste. The nuoc mam for me I want to be saltier, garlic, fish sauce but I can add more spice from the bottles on the table. When you take in a bite of the rice roll, dipped in nuoc mam, it's a taste of Vietnam street food. Plus finish it off with a fresh blanched bean sprout. The price point less than $15 is worth it. Now let's talk about my all time favorite, banh knot. Fried little cakes filled with shrimp, a little bit of coconut milk, green onions and it's a little cup of goodness. Add some nuoc mam and it holds it in the cake. It comes with fresh lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and carrots. Roll it into a little roll, bite into the cake and bite into the vegetable lettuce wrap. It's all time goodness. A 1000% must try. Btw, the dining room and all the utensils are very clean. The plates are also spotless.

I uploaded their recent menu items as they have a new staff and are still in the process of training them to serve their whole menu again. My personal favorites that I get on rotation each time I come are the Banh Cuon w/ Pork (Vietnamese Rice Cake), Large Banh Xeo (w/ no squid), and Com Ga Di Bo (Rice Plate w/ Boiled Chicken). I always order a side of Goi Cuon Nem Nuong with my respective entree as well. The Sugar Cane Juice is absolutely delicious, fresh, and not too sweet. The service here is always friendly, attentive, and timely. Nice relaxing atmosphere with television and restaurant music for your dining experience. Definitely recommend for all my fellow Vietnamese food lovers!

The inside was vey inviting and tastefully decorated. We had the Beef Bulgogi Bao, this was really yummy. The bao was soft and delightful. The beef had a sweet bulgogi glaze that worked really well with it. The rest of the toppings added a nice balance without overpowering the meat. My only wish was that it was 4 baos and not two since they are so small. The highlight was the Firecracker Shrimp. Be warned this is not a spicy dish like you might think from the name. The crispy shrimp was crunchy and not soggy at all, it felt pretty clean and not greasy. It came with salad, rice and a spicy soy sauce and it was just so good. With 12 shrimp, it's definitely shareable between 2 people. Lastly we had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was $6. It tasted like Ovaltine and was mostly ice with just a few sips. I wouldn't recommend it unless the cup size is increased or the price is decreased. So overall, it's a bit pricey. The menu was also a little confusing. We checked online prior to coming and they had a lot of stuff but when at the restaurant, there were only a few items listed which caught us off guard. We actually ended up ordering the wrong item (firecracker shrimp when we actually wanted dynamite shrimp, ultimately it worked out cuz it was delicious but the problem still stands). So those are the only cons I can think off. Other than that, The place was fantastic. Did not think Hutto would have a place of this caliber. We will be back to try the rest of the items, it all looked so good. Definitely will be a repeat customer. 4.5 stars rounded up for now.
