I love this place!!! I always order the shrimp fried rice and edamame. This place is convenient and they also deliver. The service is excellent and they don't ask you for tip. I highly recommend this place if you are a foodie. Also make sure to ask for their homade chili oil. read more

I ordered this for lunch via delivery and went with the Broccoli Chicken - General Tso-style plate over steamed rice, which came with one crab rangoon and sweet chili sauce. Overall, it was good. The crab rangoon was the standout--crispy, flavorful, and easily my favorite part of the meal. The chicken and broccoli were cooked well, and the portion size was solid for lunch. I did ask for spicy, but the dish was milder than expected. The flavor was there; it just didn't quite bring the heat I was hoping for. This was a delivery order, so I didn't have the opportunity to check out the ambiance, and it appears to be takeout and delivery only anyway. The food arrived without issue. I'd still be open to ordering again and trying some of the other dishes on the menu next time. Sometimes it takes a couple of visits to find the dish that really hits. read more

Pretty simple pickup concept. The place is mainly the kitchen with a few tablets to order at and two chairs. Nothing to brag about for the decor, they did have a Christmas tree. The gentleman upon arriving was friendly and provided clear explanation for what where my order was. As each order is cooked upon receipt it takes about 15-20 minutes. While the gentleman told me he'd advise when the order was ready, that never happened. Not sure how long it was ready before I went back inside. Online ordering was easy and they have a lot of options! Wednesday is 50% off Blue crab Rangoon. Food was decent got the beef Lo mien noodles, crab rangoons and the special pumpkin rangoons. A lot of food for the price. Everything was hot and crispy for the rangoons upon getting home. I'd go back to try other menu items. read more

Nasty soup and spring rolls. Spring rolls were frozen. Worst Chinese food I have ever had in 60 years

A takeout-only spot, we ordered and picked up from Tso Chinese Takeout for Christmas Eve. A nice touch was the holiday card they included with our order. We split the Drunken Beef Noodles and Tso Plate Salt and Pepper Shrimp, tossed with jalapenos, bell peppers, and onions. My partner enjoyed the Drunken Beef Noodles, but it was a bit heavy on the sauce for my taste. For the shrimp dish, I was disappointed that the shrimp were coated in a bread-y like texture. Since they said they were GF, I called and was told they only used corn starch. Regardless, I think it would have been much tastier without breading the shrimp at all. I like the concept of a healthier Chinese option, but wish they kept the taste a bit simpler. read more

This is some of the best Chinese food I've had in Austin, was really impressed! I ordered delivery and got the honey walnut prawns, real crab rangoons, wonton soup, and the add on for fried rice with spring rolls which were all fantastic. The honey walnut prawns and the crab rangoons were the star of the show, some of the best I've ever had! I didn't eat in the restaurant but the delivery was quick and food arrived hot and fresh. I'll definitely be coming back here! read more

Tso Chinese Takeout & Delivery - Honey Walnut Shrimp & World Famous Blue Crab Rangoons & Wonton Soup (Cup - 12oz) & add on side of egg fried rice and spring rolls - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Chinese takeout while visiting a friend. Tso on South Congress was the closest place. Ordered Hot and Sour Soup, Veggie Spring rolls and Happy Family entree. The soup was ok after adding soy sauce. The spring rolls were good. Only wished I had Chinese mustard. The Happy Family was full of beef, chicken, a few shrimp and veggies. There was an over abundance of baby corn. Twice as much as the protein in the meal. The flavor was ok but not great. Don't think I will try them again though. Didn't bother to take photos. read more

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience. Our entrée was missing from our order, which we didn't realize until we got home. I immediately called and asked if delivery was possible, but since we were outside their zone, I offered to drive back so they could remake it. I also asked for a refund due to the inconvenience, which was refused. When we arrived about 15 minutes later, the employee I had just spoken with acted as though he didn't remember our conversation. After showing him our receipt and pointing out the missing (non-highlighted) item, he accused me of trying to "set him up." He then attempted to rush my husband and me out the door and said he no longer wanted to remake the food or issue a refund. Instead of acknowledging their mistake or apologizing, the situation escalated into an argument, and we had to be persistent just to receive a refund. In the end, we still left without our full order. This was a complete waste of time and extremely frustrating. We used to be regular customers, but after this experience, we won't be returning. read more

The customer service was nice! For a first time experience the food quality was underwhelming: I placed an order for a place and my meat didn't come with the side of spice, the broccoli was hard to chew and sat on top of the chicken -not cooked all the way, the rice was recommended and was hard. Very disappointing presentation for a nice meal for dinner. read more

By in large things areonly Tso-Tso. I used to love the Gen Tso and Hunan chicken bowls but they don't have those anymore. The stir fry equivalents are good. The Hot and Sour Soup is neither, tastes more like brine with vegetables and tofu. Their famous crab rangoon must be famous for the filling, but the quantity of cream cheese overwhelms what little crab there is. The fried Wonton wrappers which surround the rangoon has the texture of cardboard and only slightly more flavor. We picked up from the Slaughter Lane location where the staff have always been friendly and courteous. read more

Ordered online and picked up within 15 minutes. Service was fast. Food was soggy. Rangoons were soggy. Orange chicken soggy. Drunken noodles were less than mediocre. However! Egg rolls were crispy and good. I think I'll go to Panda Express next time. However! I gave the food to my dog and she seemed to like it. read more

Easily the best Chinese food takeout in the Austin area. Love the no tipping policy and the food is always made super fast by the time I drive over the pick it up. Love to get the crab Rangoons & broccoli beef bowl read more

Wife's favorite place! Food & service always excellent! Ambiance is good! Food is always excellent, service is good and food always comes out quick and hot! read more

Wow, the reviews weren't lying about this tiny take-out-only spot. Since being pescatarian, I hadn't found a place that would do veggie friendly Chinese takeout that wasn't just boring vegetables over rice. Tso's menu is EXTENSIVE! All the traditional favorites (and more) for meat eaters, and also an entire section of delicious vegetarian (even vegan) options as well. The food was made quickly and everything tasted so fresh. I can see why they say the crab rangoons are "world famous", they were perfection. Will absolutely order from them again, this hit the spot. read more

I order from Tso Chinese at least once per week and I love that I can get it delivered to me pretty quickly with no hassle. The drivers are friendly and tend to find the location without trouble. The food is always hot, fresh, and tasty. My favorites so far are the crab rangoons and combination fried rice. I like how I can customize some items to be spicy or extra spicy! Pricing is fair with the no tipping policy with free delivery and the portions are generous. read more

The food itself is good, but we stopped ordering here because the food is packed in black plastic. The last time we ordered, we tried bringing our own (glass) containers, but they said they couldn't use them. Using plastic might have flown in 2018, but by 2025 businesses should know better, especially with regards to black plastic, and especially as alternatives are readily available. Plastic can't be truly recycled (i.e., made into new food containers), most of what's collected isn't actually recycled, and for what is recycled, the recycling process itself created tons of new pollution. Black plastic is worse, containing toxic flame retardants. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/02/24/black-plastic-utensils-toxic-flame-retardants/ read more

The food is great! Had the broccoli beef. Just wish they used a different container. The styrofoam container they used caused the juice to leak all over the bag and onto the other food I ordered. read more

I just ordered an orange chicken plate the chicken was old and dry the rice was mushy and flavorless , so for $$20 all I could eat was the one crab Rangoon because as awful as everuthkng else was the soup is going into the garbage .. never again !!! read more

This restaurant is consistently reliable. The food is delicious and delivered quickly in my experience. I've ordered from them many times. I do recommend this restaurant for sure. I recently ordered the General TSO chicken and Happy Family entree. Thank you! read more

Quick Delivery, easy online ordering, No-Tip Policy!!!! This is everything you want from takeout. This ordering system was so convenient, that it almost sets the standard for how you'd like all delivery services to be. This store only provides takeout, as their entire store is a kitchen, so don't expect to go there and dine in. We ordered the Drunken Beef Noodles and the Szechuan Beef. Portion sizes are large, and rice comes with the Szechuan Beef. This was enough for multiple meals. The food is slightly greasy, but the flavor makes up for it. Great option for takeout chinese food...without having to tip! read more

The Blue Crab rangoons are seriously good, and I just learned that they're half off on Wednesdays. The chicken lettuce wraps are also good. Don't get the sesame chicken with rice - it is too wet. Their fried rice is good. I've ordered their Bang Bang Shrimp over fried rice, and though it's not the best (essentially battered shrimp doused in sriracha-mayo), the leftovers are an exceptional base for a perfect meal - It's even better the next day and I usually have a lot leftover so I zhuzh it up by adding my own accoutrements which is usually two jammy eggs, green onion glitter, toasted sesame seeds, and my own house-made spicy cucumber salad. read more

Really helpful., really friendly, really good. Well worth the time and money. Kind, quick and delicious!

So good and so fast! I'm not a big Chinese Food fan but this was good! I ordered General Taos shrimp.

Picked up some delicious food for a work lunch. I tried the Tso Bowl with bang bang shrimp and fried rice. It was fantastic! The others in my group were also happy with their meals. Easy to order and friendly service, happy to have another place for lunch when I'm at work! read more

first time trying this spot...Awesome employees! Food was delicious and definitely worth coming again!

I normally order from China Family on airport blvd but decided to try Tso because they had a buy one get one free deal on Uber eats. Sorry to say but the flavor was not there in any of the dishes I had (general tsos, beef and broccoli, fried rice, side of noodles). China Family is a lot more flavorful read more

The fried rice and drunken beef noodles are a must! Their catering service made our event stress-free. Everyone was raving!

Five stars isn't enough! Tso consistently delivers amazing food. I dream about their monthly specials--they are always so unique and delicious, and I get sad when the month is over. Their regular menu is just as incredible. The shrimp dishes are fantastic, with a ton of shrimp in every order. The beef is always so tender and flavorful, and the spring rolls are the crispiest I've ever had. This place is a true gem! read more

If you order from here, do NOT order it delivered! My order arrived cold and congealed and an hour late. (No notice!) The potstickers were cold, shriveled up, hard lumps. I'm not doing this again! Ugh! read more

Tso is so convenient for quick and quality Chinese take out. I have ordered both delivery and pick up from Tso and I have had pleasant experiences doing both. I like how they have their own delivery drivers as well. Today I had the World Famous Blue Crab Rangoons for an appetizer and I was left speechless. I would order food here a million more times just for those!! I also had the Sesame Chicken and it was good, but I have had better at other local spots. The portions were huge and the to-go packaging is really satisfying and durable. Overall, an awesome Chinese spot! read more

Classic American Chinese food, think mall Chinese food but elevated. I usually order on Postmates for pickup and Tso's is always always on time which is nice. I've had chicken and beef dishes and a few appetizers and haven't been disappointed. I wish they included more veggies in their entree though, usually a small number of carrots/broccoli pieces. read more

We are Chicago/NYC transplants and have been searching for real Chinese Food to go.... For 2 years we have tried many of the Dim Sum and Chinese Restaurants but they never live up to what we consider really good Chinese Take-out. Wow we hit the jackpot last night ordering the Pork Fried Rice combo with Egg Rolls and Won Ton Soup and Tofu Drunken Noddles combo with Egg Rolls and Hot and Sour. Home run, except Noodles were to spicy, we now see we can take the spice level down so user error on our part! The only thing missing were the old school white containers, the food is so authentic and packed with flavor. Portions are huge so we had lunch today... Prices so reasonable. read more

All I can say is Wow! I've been trying to find a "Fantastic" Chinese restaurant in Austin that has it all; great tasting food, great price, and great service. I found some that did the job, but not on all levels. This place did. If it were not for Yelp, I would have never found it. It is Lunar New Year Eve, and my wife and I always celebrate it. Since we were just hanging out in our Austin Home, we decided to get some delivery. I checked on Yelp and there were numerous places, but this one caught my eye. One, because of the reviews. Two, because of one location very close to us, and Three, because they are already all over Austin, and have great reviews. Not to mention, the delivery is free and no tip! I only say this because of how many times I paid doordash or grubhub $20 in delivery and service fee, not to mention the tip, just for them to mess up the order, or never deliver it at all. This place had a note that they deliver and never want tips. I was like, home run one for me. Then, when I went online, everything had an image of their dishes, which was great. Granted, I could go to Yelp and see it, but it was spot on. They estimated the delivery time of 60 to 80 minutes. I was Ok with that, seeing as Asian restaurants can be very busy this night, with some refusing delivery out right. They delivered in 30 minutes. WOW! And it was in a heated bag. Everything we ordered was there, and simply fantastic. Wife and I ordered a lot since we had some friends over, and they were all drooling over the tastiness, freshness, and exceptional quality of these dishes. Check out my pics for full review. I tried to taste everything before the Chinese Food Cannibals ate it all. - Spring rolls were just right. Perfect size and just the right flavor. - World Famous Blue Crab Rangoons. Oh my! I don't know about World Famous, but they are the best I ever had. Wife complained about only 4 per order, but they were HUUUUGHE and best ever. There is a place in Albany NY, where I live part time, and they serve similar famous Rangoons with 8 count, but I am sorry to say, I can never appreciate them now that I have tried these. Next time I am ordering a double. - Chinese Fried Chicken wings. Tender, big, and crispy outside. Just how I get them in Shanghai and Taipei. - Spicy Garlic Soy Edamame. Everyone at the party was like, "These are amazing!" First time trying this, which you don't find at many Chinese establishments, and I am hooked. - Hot and Sour Soup. Was very dark and rich with many flavors. Not watered down like other places. My go to place for Hot and Sour Soup now. - Drunken Beef Noodle. I never expect a Chinese place to knock it out the park on this dish, but they did. It is one of my favorite dishes, and some Thai places do it well, others... meh. I couldn't believe the freshness of the beef, as well as the quantity, and the special sized noodles as well as the spinach. One of the best tasting Drunken Beef Noodle dish, I ever had. - Combination fried rice. Many say it is hard to mess up fried rice, but plenty of places do. NOT this place. All the proteins were fresh and hearty, and the rice cooked perfect with nice large portions of egg. - Hone Walnut Shrimp and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce are not my favorites, but the wife and other guests enjoyed, and a few that have been to China, including my wife, said it was like it was cooked there. I tried it, and the shrimp were perfect as well as the sauce. - Eggplant chicken. The sauce was so tasty, not to mention there was an abundance of eggplant which was cooked just right, not soggy like many other places, and the chicken was perfect. - Broccoli Beef was as good if not better than most places. I felt it was better since the beef chunks were fresh, huge, and tasty with the special sauce. One of the best Broccoli Beef dishes I have ever had. - Bok Choy in brown sauce. This is one of my favorite dishes. My business partner in Taiwan always orders it, and it is so tasty. I am not a big fan of cabbage dishes, but this one rocks. TSO's version was very similar and made me think I was back in Taipei. I've had this dish in other Asian establishments in the states, and it doesn't compare. All in all the wife, guests, and myself were amazed with the goodness of this place. Nothing wrong at all, and spectacular delivery service. This is now my mainstay Chinese Food Place in Austin. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR 2023! read more

We love Tso for a quick delicious meal that gets delivered straight to your home for no extra fees. I absolutely love their tofu drunken noodles and I'm embarrassed to say that's the only entree I've ever had because I can never convince myself to order anything else! My husband has had the sesame chicken which he has really enjoyed and the kung pao chicken which is good as well. It is so great that they allow you to adjust spice levels - the food is so flavorful and my drunken noodles are always full of lots of veggies and herbs. I've also had the spring rolls which are pretty standard and the hot/sour soup which is standard, at least not too cornstarch-y. The portion size of the entrees are also huge for the price, definitely at least 2 meals for me. I have never had any issues with their delivery service - they are usually super quick to deliver and deliver right to our door at our apartment building. Highly recommend if you are feeling lazy and want a delicious meal delivered straight to you for a reasonable price. read more

Great Chinese takeout food! This place really delivered. We got a good variety of different foods, from Lo Mein to fried chicken to sesame balls, and sweet & sour soup. All of the above were solid, no complaints at all. The fried chicken was what you'd expect, crispy with a soft chicken bite in the center, sesame balls were crispy and also soft in the center with the red bean. If you're looking for a Chinese food place with a lot of the staples and a good overall flavor on everything, look no further than Tso's Chinese! read more

Delivery was trash. I have eaten this before and food was a solid 4. But the delivery driver was terrible.

Meh? It's okay but the food is one dimensional. Everything just tastes like soy sauce. If it's a rainy day you'll be waiting awhile as they get swamped with to go orders. I give them props for no tipping and no delivery fee. The cost is added to the prices so it's going up cost you significantly more than Panda Express or your sloppy hole in wall Chinese American restaurant. They do have some cool collabs with other restaurants that are worth trying particularly with crab rangoons. if your hungry, want to go local, and avoid the 3rd party delivery apps - tso's has its place. read more

We were craving some Chinese food and wanted to give Tso a try after reading all of the nice reviews. For carryout, this is pretty excellent chow. Crab rangoon is one of the best I've ever had with its use of real crab meat (not the usual surimi imitation crab). The only bummer was that it took 30 minutes in rush hour traffic to get home so the pastry was a little chewy, but I imagine it was best when it was fresh and hot out of the fryer. We also enjoyed the orange chicken, beef lo mein, char siu barbecue pork fried rice (meat was perfectly done), shrimp with lobster sauce, and Szechuan beef (perfectly spicy with a good kick without being overbearing). Customer service is friendly; our food was ready when we got to the store and it was brought to the car by a sweet young lady. Prices are on the higher side for the portions but the meal was well worth it. Recommended. read more

We ordered food here thinking it was going to be awesome bc of the 4.4 star rating but the food was average Chinese food. Good but not great! read more

The ingredients were high quality, portions were plentiful, and the dishes looked appetizing even with delivery. I just didn't think they tasted very good. Simply a matter of my palate not aligning with their well-curated spices and seasonings. read more
