    An elevated Chinese food spot. I was craving soup dumplings one evening so we stopped here for dinner one night with our pup to sit on the patio. The soup dumplings ($14) are REALLY delicious. The Beef Chow Fun ($26) is also really great and comes in a huge portion. The interior looks absolutely luxurious. Staff are very friendly :)

    First time at this location after trying the sister location a few weeks before. We enjoyed both! Drinks were really refreshing on a warm summers evening. Service was also great at both locations and the setting is very relaxing. Will be back to try more options very soon!

    Came back during the day to try brunch on a Saturday! There was plenty of seating so it was very easy to walk in. My favorites were the beef chow fun, soup dumplings and chicken feet. Everything came out quickly and fresh, it's just a little pricey for what you get

    I hosted my 30th birthday party here and I don't think it could have gone any better! Seemless booking for 14 and we were stationed in a room above the restaurant which was gorgeous! Attentive service and fast food and drinks! Everything came out hot and perfect!!!! This was my second time hosting an event here but my first time with such a big group! We were able to split the check evenly which I informed my guests of before hand! I couldn't imagine hosting anywhere else!!! This is the best restaurant in Austin !!!!

    I dunno whatsamatter with me but I apparently have failed to review Qi (pronounced Chee) before now. Perhaps because we are always visiting in transit through Austin. We've dined here for lunch I think five times now. And we will NEVER visit Austin w/o a stop here. LOL. Our server on our first visit was Danny and he again attended to us this visit this week. He is absolutely wonderful. He is managing this store now. This is one of the most enjoyably attractive restaurants ever as you can see from all the pics here on Yelp. Qi's dumplings are on the upper levels of heaven side of divine. Try the shrimp har gow dumplings. The egg drop and hot and sour soups are exceptional. We love the salt and pepper shrimp but this week we splurged for the Honey Akaushi Beef at lunch. Oh my word. Fork-apart tender cubes of savory beef with grilled onions in a honey, black pepper sauce to die for. It will be a challenge to considerer ever looking at the menu again as long as the kitchen is doing this dish. Qi has the most wonderful chopsticks. They're beautiful and so enjoyable to use. I bought two pairs our first visit and I take them to use at Chinese and Japanese restaurants here at home! LOL. Free garage parking in the same building. What is not to love about this restaurant?

    Private room, seats about 12 comfortably

    Came here with a group of coworkers and we sat in a private room upstairs. The ambiance of the whole place is very upscale, and late on a Monday night it was relatively busy. The food was good, could use a little more flavor. The presentation and service were outstanding, and the drinks and cocktail selection was fantastic. Overall, Id say, great place for a corporate function when you are not footing the bill and can try a lot of things on the menu, to find what you like most. My favorites were the duck and flat noodles. Oddly, the restaurant does not have an espresso machine, which was a bummer for some of our coworkers who wanted a little boost after a long day and a filling meal.

    Came here to try the brunch menu which has a few more dim sum items than the dinner menu. Overall was solid for a bit more upscale dim sum dining. Highly recommend the bao's and the chicken dumplings and especially the shrimp eggplant dish too!

    Ambiance was great, the service was quick, our server Marcus was great with his suggestions on food items. Soup dumpling was amazingly good and the star of the show was honey akaushi beef.

    Farm to table produce made for a super fresh experience. We were the last seating of the night, so servers were in clean up mode. Kitchen closed prior to the end of our meal. The lighting was a tad dim which made seeing table difficult. Tables are VERY close which made conversations carry from table to table. Salt & pepper shrimp and Mu shu pork were very good.

    Salt and Pepper Shrimp

    Delicious food Everytime. Service, however, is hit or miss apparently. Brought my Mom and daughter for their first time for lunar new year. We had mediocre service, less experience based than my first two visits, with little to no conversation or recommendations. We were the only table they dropped to-go boxes for, every other table they boxed their food for them, which was what happened my first two times. Makes it feel less of an experience than normal. They also gave us a desert menu that had 10 ish options and only 2 or 3 were available, which wasn't shared when we asked about desert but only when we were ready to order. Beautiful decorations, louder than normal based on the new year but nothing terrible. akaushi beef, moo shu pork, and salt and epper shrimp all phenomenal. The soup dumplings never disappoint so that's always our first bite. Cocktails took some time but we're always delicious. We will probably be back but might take some time to forget the sun par service.

    Qi Austin has serious style -- it's like dim sum went to finishing school and came back with impeccable manners and great taste. We started with the soup dim sum, which was soothing and refined, like a comforting whisper of flavor. Then came the Crispy Sea Cucumber Har Kaw, and wow. Easily the star of the show -- crispy on the outside, tender and shrimp-like on the inside, with a sauce so good I briefly considered licking the plate. (I didn't. But I thought about it.) The duck pancakes were also quite good -- rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But while everything tasted fresh and well executed, there was a certain "something" missing to push it into five-star, write-home-to-grandma territory. Maybe a touch more warmth, or just one more standout bite. Still, Qi has its act together -- refined atmosphere, attentive staff, and dishes that make you feel a little fancier than you really are. Four stars, but very solid ones. I'll be back... probably dreaming about that har kaw the whole way there. And be careful, they close from 2:00-4:00!

    Truffle Egg Fried Rice
    Dylan T.

    TL;DR: Great choice if you are trying to impress someone -- pricy but the flavors are out of this world! I would come back. Food: We ordered the Zha Jiang Noodle, Truffle Egg Fried Rice, and Honey Akaushi Beef. + Truffle Egg Fried Rice: I would recommend trying this dish! The truffle smells really good, and the fried rice is quite good too. It doesn't feel oily, and it's just really well done fried rice. + Honey Akaushi Beef: I would recommend trying this dish! It is on the pricier end of $30 for not necessarily a ton of meat, but it is some of the best beef I have ever had. The dish comes out sizzling and smells absolutely incredible. The meat is not tough or chewy: it's super easy to cut into. It's got a nice sweetness to it and is honestly so so tasty! - Zha Jiang Noodle: While tasty, I might not order this dish next time just because I thought it was a little too sweet for me. Service: We went without a reservation but were luckily able to get seated quickly since we went before peak dinner time. The service was friendly and quick. Water was refilled without us having to ask. They were kind enough to pack our leftovers for us too in a container and nice bag. Ambiance: The dim, warm lighting sets the mood and is really easy on the eyes. I like that the ceiling is covered with umbrellas as lights, it's a cool aesthetic. Since we went in October, there were Halloween decorations around the place too which was neat.

    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.

    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!

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.

The vibe is modern: very bright, well lit, with the lion statues in the front, tea pots on the walls and clean spaces. The nice thing is you can order dim sum even when the push carts aren't going, which I personally think is better since it's fresh. My wife felt like she had a ratatouille type moment when she bit into the sesame balls and the deep fried mince turnover. I personally thought while the dim sum had a good fry, it was about average on the flavor and texture, but like I said, some others in our group thought it was excellent. On the other hand, the main entrees, I thought were stellar. The Sichuan green beans (despite this not being a Sichuan shop) were the best rendition of the dish of anywhere I've had in town - very good fry on the green beans with smoky wok hei, well seasoned with the pickled veg too. When your five year old opts to eat just this and rice, you know you got something special on your hand. The seafood fried noodle is also very good - tender squid, shrimp and veggies in the crunchy noodle nest is a great contrast in texture, as well as a lesson in simplicity. The peking pork ribs are also incredible - saucy, not overly sweet sauce clings to the riblets and gives you something incredible to gnaw on. I prefer it in pork chop form, but this is stellar as I think I've only had this one other place that was even remotely close. All in all, great place for Canto food in a town that doesn't have enough of it.

I really liked their dumpling and the rest of the meal was tasty as well.

    I sure didn't enjoy my last visit here. We arrived there at 5:30 with a reservation for a group of…read more11. We let them know we all had tickets to the opera at 7:30 so it was our goal to be wrapping up by 6:45. By 6:35, my plate was still bare. By the time my food arrived, I had to just shovel it in and go to the opera with indigestion. My friend sitting beside me fared even worse. His food didn't arrive until we were all paying our bills and getting ready to depart so he just had to get his to go. There were nice aspects of the meal too. My food was hot and tasty, my Welcome To The Jungle drink was epic, and our server was pretty attentive. However, the timing of food coming out just made the experience a catastrophe for my friend and me and I hope to not return.

    We had such a wonderful experience celebrating my son's birthday at Ling Wu Asian Restaurant at…read moreLantana Place in Austin. I've heard so many great things about this restaurant, and we finally made it there over Memorial Day weekend. It absolutely lived up to the hype. This place is truly impressive. You can tell every detail was thoughtfully designed and intentional, from the stunning interior design and décor to the incredibly creative menu. What I loved most was how the dishes stayed rooted in authentic Chinese flavors while adding creative, and sometimes surprising, twists. Everything we ordered was excellent. The Lobster Cheese Puff was a huge hit: crispy on the outside and packed with flavor inside. The Salmon Sashimi Mango Salad was incredibly fresh, bright, and crunchy. The sautéed pea shoots were so tender and fresh. And the Lamb Chop with Spicy Miso Sauce was absolutely unforgettable. One of the biggest surprises for me was the Veggie Fried Rice. As a native Chinese, I've had countless fried rice dishes over the years, but I've honestly never had one prepared quite like this before. It was so flavorful and unique. For dessert, the Chocolate Soup Dumpling was both creative and delicious, and the bunny-shaped sorbet was almost too cute to eat. Our waiter, Jake, was also incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the evening. He made our first experience there even more special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality Chinese cuisine paired with a beautiful ambiance and elevated dining experience. Perfect for celebrations or a special night out in Austin!

He recommended the lychee martini and it was perfectly made, easily one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. The dumplings were absolutely unbelievable and the duck genuinely changed my life. I will be coming back specifically for that dish. The lamb was also cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Overall, this was the best dinner I've had in months. From the food to the service, everything exceeded expectations. We will definitely be back and have already decided to book my birthday dinner here.

We drove up and parked on the side. The entrance is on the side of the building. When entering the building there is a sign that says you go downstairs for Dim Sum. The bathrooms are also downstairs. We headed upstairs and were greeted by a nice hostess. We saw our friends already seated and headed over to their table. There was plenty of seating in this restaurant. It was decorated with lots of red, many wine bottles and lots of windows. It was a large room and we were the only customers there for a while. Our waitress gave us some menus and then asked us what we wanted to drink. We ordered waters and she brought them to us quickly. We were not ready to order so she gave us some time to look at the menu. I decided to try a Shanghai Egg roll to start and the Sweet and Sour Chicken plus cashews for my main dish. My husband ordered the Chef Special Beef. The waitress was good as she took care of us the entire time. Making sure we had water and checking to see if we needed refills. The Shanghai Egg roll was okay. It was crispy on the exterior and has tiny pieces of pork in it. I really couldn't taste the pork but the egg roll in general was okay. We were given two types of dipping sauces for our egg rolls. The sweet and sour sauce and the mustard. I ate the majority of my egg roll with sweet and sour as I like the sweet flavor. The mustard sauce was very strong and I couldn't eat very much of it. The sweet and sour chicken was tasty. The chicken was soft and even though it had a fried exterior it wasn't crispy at all. It had plenty of sweet and sour sauce almost too much. It looked like the cashews were a bit overcooked though. It came mixed with pineapple, white onion, and green bell peppers but I honestly didn't taste much of that stuff. I would have loved a more even amount of ingredients but it was mostly fried chicken with lots of sweet and sour sauce. My husband's chef special beef came with crunchy beef, orange peel, and a spicy brown sauce. I tried it and the flavor was really good. The combination of ingredients was flavorful. Overall it was an okay lunch. The restaurant was bright, the service was decent, and the food was okay.
