Chinese Xi-An region cuisine - classic stewed pork w/ handmade bread 9/10: meat was juicy and flavorful, the handmade bread also tastes similar to ones I had in Xi An! I recommend giving this a try!! - Stir-fried handmade noodles with cumin marinated beef 7/10: chewy noodles, very cumin-y beef, the flavors are strong and its good BUT it doesn't compare to another xi-an restaurant in austin.... - cumin marinated lamb with handmade biang biang noodles 8/10: yummy noodles, i don't think they put enough spices and hot oil because the "sauce oil" would not mix and spread so some noodles were flavorless.  Service was fast and the restaurant was clean! read more

Tried Happy Dragon with takeout ordered ahead of time. The prices are mid range and parking for pickup was easy. We got the spicy stir-fried handmade noodles with beef and hot and sour soup dumplings with pork and cabbage. The soup dumplings were a bit too sour for my taste. The dough was really good, but the flavor just wasn't for me, so I wouldn't order these again. The handmade noodles, were good! They had a great chewy texture and lots of flavor with a little heat. At first, I thought they were a bit skimpy on the meat, but then I discovered most of it was hiding at the bottom. The ratio was definitely a little off, but once I mixed everything together, it was great. I'll definitely come back for the spicy beef noodles. read more

This authentic Shanxi restaurant is such a gem. It's surprisingly never packed whenever I eat there. Food comes out fast and flavorful. The portions are pretty generous as well. I always leave feeling full. - Mount Qi Noodles with Minced Pork (5/5) - this is definitely my favorite dish here so far. Love the sour and spicy combo flavor. There are also bits of bean curd and woodear mushroom which are my favorites. I would definitely get this again in the future - Handmade Noodles with Pork (5/5) - This is my second favorite dish here. It was my go to until I discovered the Mount Qi noodles. Definitely don't get this to-go as it gets all clumpy and doesn't mix well - Beef Brisket with Handmade Noodles in Soup (4.5/5) - The broth is delicious and I appreciated how it wasn't as oily. I always enjoy handmade noodles but my husband wasn't used to the thickness. - Pig Ear (0/5) - Stay far far far away from this dish unless you have a steel stomach. It gave me food poisoning. I had a weird feeling as I was eating this dish but regrettably powered through it. The pig ear was mixed with a ton of onion, green onion, and cilantro. I didn't mind the cilantro because I'm a cilantro fan but the overwhelming amount of onions just detracts away from what should be the star of the dish. I had more bites of onion than pig ear. Overall, something just tasted off about it and my stomach paid the price for it later that night. Normally I would give a much lower rating for a restaurant that I had gotten food poisoning from but the rest of their dishes were just that good. read more

So sad because this was one of the worst takeout experiences I've had. The food is fresh, but completely flavorless. I ate maybe ¼ of my meal because it was so bland. I ordered the soup, Kung Pao, and eggplant with garlic sauce, and honestly, none of them had much flavor. I also paid an extra $3 for tofu and received four tiny squares. Definitely not worth the additional charge. Everything smelled good, but the actual food was incredibly disappointing. Stay away from this one. read more

Ordered for delivery on Saturday night. We got the Mongolian beef with fried rice, orange chicken and fried rice, a hot and sour soup abd the spicy pork dumplings with chili oil. Mongolian beef 10/10- sauce was delicious, portion good, no bad chewy pieces, onions done to perfection. Hot and sour soup 8/10- good portion since it was slightly higher priced for the small size, I wish the flavor and spice were a bit stronger. Had good vegetables in it Orange chicken 9/10- chicken was fried perfectly and sauce was fresh, wish the broccoli was a bit more dine. Fried rice was good Dumplings 1000/10- the best thing in this order. Big, hand made you could tell my the perfect texture, and the start was the perfectly spicy, tangy, oily sauce that I wanted to put a straw in and a drink straight. Saving it to make chili oil eggs! The food took quite a bit of time to be made but it was SO FRESH I don't care. Can't wait to try more! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

Happy Dragon Xian Taste - #27. Cumin Marinated Beef with "Biang-Biang" Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

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! read more

If you're looking for real, authentic Chinese food, this is the best place to go in the round rock/north Austin area. The workers are so attentive and friendly and give great service, shout out Candy!! The Liang Pi cold noodles with sesame sauce is emotionally, physically, and spiritually satisfying. This is a restaurant to fully explore, don't just get what you're used to, ask the workers about items on the menu and try something new because you'll most likely love it. read more

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! read more

Liang Pi - the cold noodles with sesame paste is my favorite. I also tried biang biang noodles but it was just okay. These are thick, wide and super long noodles. I believe there are probably only 2 noodles in a bowl but the length of each one is super long. It's also very garlicky and oily so be prepared to have strong garlic breath for a couple of days after eating this. Beef noodle soup is not very good, mainly oily. I'd only go for the Liang Pi here. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Service is a bit slow. read more

Haven't been here in nearly 15 years but heard good things about some recent menu additions so thought I'd stop by. Menu has meat and veggie forward options to choose from. Noodles- great texture and thickness, nice and bouncy! Perfect spice level but has a odd taste on the back end. Green beans - great flavor all around- sweetish and garlicky. They were a nice addition to the noodles and made one well rounded dish when put together. Crab rangoons- they were good- tasted as to be expected! Food was ready fast, very bright inside but basic ambiance , you could tell they have been here for a while. Glad to have stopped by and will be back to other dishes in the near future! read more

Had to repost my review but will say that I've gone back again since my initial visit and the food is just as amazing as it was the first time. We got there mid day Saturday and were able to get seated right away and some more delicious food Absolutely blown away by the food here. The pig ear was perfect texture for me( my husband would have preferred it to be sliced thinner). The meat was so tender and the mixture of peanuts, cilantro, onion, and celery was such a pleasant texture combo. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little spicier. 4/5 The Chinese hamburger/ classic stewed pork was so close to being perfect. The pork was so flavorful I could have eaten a whole bowl of it. The flatbread is what I'm sadly docking points on, it was good but I wish that it was crispier to add that nice contrast with the softer texture of the pork and crispiness of bread. Would I get it again? Absolutely. 4.5/5 The biang biang noodles oh my god they were amazing. We got the highly recommended noodles with pork and the cumin marinated beef with biang biang noodles. In my book both of these are 5/5 but I will say that I preferred the flavor of the marinated beef noodles versus the recommended noodles. On the other hand I loved the texture diversity of the recommended noodles. The thickness of the veggies, the bouncy texture of the noodles, and the soft texture from the tomato. 5/5 We arrived at around 1:20pm on a Saturday and waited about 20-25 minutes to be seated but honestly for the quality of the food it was worth it. We did have a little bit of a wait for food but I think it was just the time we went, how busy it was, and the freshness of the food. Also note that they switched owners about 3 weeks ago at the time of this review so try to ignore any negative reviews before 2025. I can't wait to come back and taste more dishes from here. read more

Solid noodles. Tried cumin beef with biang biang noodles as well as cumin beef with handmade noodles. Both were good but I found the biang biang noodle dish more garlicky and tastier overall. I think I enjoyed the wide noodle (biang biang) more as well. I wasn't a fan of their dumplings at all. Super doughy. Not sure if that's a regional thing but I didn't like it. Easy parking in a strip mall. read more

I genuinely can't say enough good things about Happy Dragon because it genuinely might be my favorite new Chinese restaurant. I love handpulled noodles, and it's a really hard dish to find. The texture of their noodles is PERFECT. My boyfriend and I got a few things, and everything was honestly so delicious. Their handpulled noodles with cumin beef was yummy. I do think the flavors were a bit one-dimensional, but the seasoning and texture of the beef was awesome. I LOVED their cucumber salad. I normally don't have a strong opinion because I enjoy it and think it's a nice refreshing appetizer, but they season their cucumber salad really well. My boyfriend and I also love pig intestines, and theirs is so yummy. Lastly, we ordered their beef noodle soup, and my boyfriend was impressed. As someone who's half Taiwanese and rated the noodle soup a 8/10, I'd say it's bound to please. I can't wait to come back again!!!! read more

I feel like this is the best kept Asian secret--where I feel like it's not really advertised but this place is always filled with loyal clientele. Very lowkey spot where the service is so-so but god the food speaks for itself. I don't think there has been any bad dishes here. I crave their cumin beef hand pulled noodles constantly because that's how tasty they are. Everything is ordered by phone and that does make it easier for everyone at the table to just order what they want/splitting the bill. read more

Love that a delicious relatively authentic Shaanxi restaurant is available close to home. Our favorites include the Stewed Pork with handmade flatbread, the Liang Pi, and the Biang Biang handmade noodles with Cumin beef. The flatbread is hot and crispy and absorbs the juices from the tender pork. The Biang Biang noodles are spicy and delicious, and the Liang Pi is cold and refreshing that is a nice complement with the spicy noodles. The ordering system is completely online, which is a plus for me. read more

I got take out so I can't speak on service but I was super impressed with the noddles. I got the number 37 (highly recommended dish) and the noodles were perfectly chewy, the meat was tender, the spice was actually hitting but it was a slow burn kind of spice, the boiled potato, carrots and tomato was a welcomed addition. I also tried their cumin beef which was seasoned phenomenally. The flatbread was a little bit on the drier side but still tasty. Huge portions too. I will be back! read more

I was most impressed with the lamb noodle soup-- just like China in flavor , so tasty and great portion. We went here for lunch on a Saturday and definitely more Chinese people than non Chinese.

Great flavors, but the ambiance needs work Some dishes were excellent--especially the cucumber salad, chives dumplings, stir-fried chives with pork and bean curd, cumin beef, and shrimp & pork dumplings. The rest was just okay. Service was distracted; we had to seat ourselves while the host handled phone and pickup orders. The entrance was messy, with newspapers on chairs and flies buzzing around--not ideal when you're trying to enjoy a meal. The food has potential, but they really need to clean up and improve the dining experience. read more

Happy Dragon has that classic, comfortable feel of a family-run Asian restaurant. Nothing fancy, but clean and welcoming. The food is fantastic! I highly recommend the sautéed spicy chicken #32 from the chief special- they use the right part of the chicken and potatoes that creates a really flavorful taste, and the noodles were wonderfully chewy. Their dan dan noodles are also a must-try! While the noodles were fantastic, the liangpi wasn't quite as impressive as other places I've tried. We also tried the intestine, which was just okay - not the best I've had. The service was very typical Asian restaurant. Our server was very helpful in navigating the menu and offered great recommendations, especially since it was our first time at this restaurant. read more

Was delighted to find delicious Shaanxi food here in RR. Their menu was expanded due to new ownership and thus have more regional Chinese food available, that you can't find anywhere else near Austin. I loved their hand pulled noodles and Liang Pi. Not too spicy but I'm sure you could increase the spice level. Great for groups. I wish they had lazy Susan's for the bigger round tables. Quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. read more

There was a huge group of us and they were able to accommodate us very quickly! Mostly everyone at my table got #37, #27 and #39 as well as some pork and chive dumplings. I was really excited to try this place cause I love biang biang noodles. Unfortunately, the dish I got wasn't biang biang noodles (which is on me for not knowing this). This place kinda reminds me of Julie's noodles and that's probably why I'm not the biggest fan. The dumplings reminded me of them too. The filling was delicious, but the wrapping were a little thick for me. However, if you love Julie's noodles this is a great place to try! read more
