    Well, it was time for my visit to get Chinese food. Another great experience at Hunan lion. Always make everything just the way I want it. Very friendly people on top of that.

    Wife and I are always on the lookout for a good Chinese restaurant. This week we tried Hunan Lyon. Very attractive interior well above the standard Chinese restaurant. We were promptly seated and given a menu. We selected the two of the lunch specials for $13 each. I ordered pepper steak while the wife ordered chicken with snow peas. Wife had the corn egg soup, which was delicious and very hot. I opted for the wonton soup which arrived cold. I asked them to exchange it for the corn egg soup which they did. The egg rolls were piping hot and delicious. My prepper steak was not as tender as other Chinese restaurants but good. Wife enjoyed her chicken with snow peas. We're still looking for a Chinese restaurant.

    Very almost americanized style chinese restaurant. But even your asian parents will be impressed. The food was good and staff was great. The interior is very decorated all the way up to the ceiling. Warning: the menu is all in english

    Tried this place based on a recommendation. Ambiance is great , loved the paintings and the decor(missed to take more pics) . Impressive service here. Marie was very friendly and always taking requests with a smile. Even though she was the only one serving the entire section, she was patient and ensuring by checking frequently if we needed anything . Food is great and portion sizes are huge. Szechuan meal was not at all spicy(unexpectedly), but all the items were delicious. Service time was quick for the appetizers but meal itself took more than 20 mins to arrive. As another review stated already , it's not fast food and it took its own sweet time to arrive - but felt really hot and fresh !

    Hunan Lion is a nice, solid Chinese spot in Round Rock. The food was good and the atmosphere had a cool, relaxed vibe. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely a reliable go-to when you're craving Chinese.

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!

I ordered their pho with meatball and 2 orders of their beef on the side. Their pho only has one size which I assume is their large, cuz it's huge! It comes with 3 meats of your choosing. I thought I ate a ton, but when I was close to full, it looked like I didn't eat any at all. My husband ordered their B1 grilled pork and fried eggroll vermicelli bowl. Safe to say, this place has texas sized portions! We will definitely be back cuz I always crave pho when it's rainy season. There were only 2 servers who were constantly running around, due to a large party; but they were very attentive. Lots of seating, pretty spacious restaurant!

The lo mein combo noodles had a good solid soy sauce flavor, soft noodles, good amount of meats, sold noodles. Mongolian beef is amazing, soft beef with creamy, salty, and tangy brown sauce. The fresh white onions help cut through the salty soy sauce flavor of the brown sauce. Orange chicken is awesome, big big chunks of white chicken meat, very little batter on the outside with a strong orange flavor. I appreciate this dish since it's more meat than batter. The last dish, shrimp with pork dish with sliced green peas. It tasted like it had a turmeric sauce. Nice firm shrimp with pork.

    Meh. Disappointing…read more I picked up takeout from this restaurant and ordered the Kung Pao chicken and a chicken egg roll. The Kung Pao chicken was bland and lacked the flavor I was expecting--there was no discernible garlic, ginger, or other aromatics, and the sauce didn't have much depth. There weren't a lot of peanuts, and no vegetables, either. Unfortunately, my first bite of chicken also had some chewy, unpleasant bits, which didn't help. The egg roll shell was crispy but not a light batter, the interior was a bit doughy and lacked the texture I was hoping for. All in all, it was just okay. I really wanted to like this new restaurant, but based on this meal, it was disappointing.

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.

I'm from San Francisco and travel to New York monthly for work, so I'd consider myself a bit of a foodie, and this place delivered. Austin really needs more Asian street food spots like this. We were honestly shocked to find something this good in Hutto of all places. The staff was also incredibly kind and welcoming to our two toddlers, which made the experience even better. The food came out quickly and everything we tried was delicious. Definitely worth a 5-star.
