Chinatown North

Haven't been back to this restaurant in a long time and found myself in the neighborhood at lunchtime so decided to give it a try. Ordered the Kung Pao Beef. It was as good as I remember it. The hot and sour sauce was just ok so was the egg roll. Beef was tender and veggies fresh and crunchy. Service was fast and friendly. Prices are reasonable. The ambiance is nice and inviting.

3.5 My husband and I decided to meet up with some friends for lunch. They suggested Chinatown. We hadn't been there in years so we thought we'd give it a try. 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.

Very mediocre to frankly bad. Got the lunch box C for $21 and nothing was great on it. Happy family tasted bad, sushi roll was ok, egg roll and fried rice like cheap Chinese fast food. Even the jasmine tea flavor was subpar. Wife hated her fried.rixe. We love Asian food. Avoid this one... It used to be good a long time ago.

It was okay. The entrance is hard to find (it is on the side of the building, up the shorter stairs), and it is definitely not ADA compliant anywhere I could see. It is a very quiet restaurant... no music, and with very few patrons, not much in the way of background noise. The servers were nice enough. The food was fine. But it was BLAND. We got the hot and sour soup (all sour, no hot), egg drop soup (velvety and eggy, but nothing else to it), a pork egg roll (served with that sugary American sauce and hot mustard, very little pork), volcano shrimp (supposed to be spicy, but it was just that red sauce with some hair-fine shelters of red peppers- bland), and the seafood delight (bland and creamy). Oh, and a pot of green tea. Overall, it was fine. Even when we got chili paste, it was just kinda smoky and not spicy. It was fine though.

Came here during happy hour and I must say that I love a deal. From draft beers to bites to eat, it gives you a chance to try out a little of this and that that you normally wouldn't try such as their sushi rolls. So let me start off by saying take a moment and check in as they give you a free egg roll for doing so and who doesn't love a perk?). The guy serving us was working the bar as well as the tables in the bar. For what it's worth he was holding it down well. He was attentive and quick to answer any questions. Food came out hot and the serving size was large enough that we could of shared. Will definitely come back.

This is a family favorite, but it's not at this restaurant. Bland bland bland. No asian spices. Not even the standard receipe. Mongolian we've had doesn't have carrots, where are the hot dried chilis and green onions?? Sweet/salty sauce. Fried rice, where's the egg??Chicken and cashews, where's the ginger, spices. To be fair we've included a very good recipe for Mongolian beef. Maybe you should try it. https://thewoksoflife.com/mongolian-beef-recipe/

Great place for fresh sushi. The. mixed poke bowl is an excellent choice, seaweed salad is a heaping serving of goodness, and I also really enjoyed the beef skewers. The service is prompt and it's typically nice and quiet since most orders seem to be for takeout.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, even the takeout service. This restaurant is consistent in every way - and they're open on Christmas Day!

I've been coming to Chinatown off and on for years. And this place has consistently been some of the best takeaway I have ordered in Austin. They're quick, efficient, and take requests/modifications easily. The vibe is incredibly chill when you eat in, as well.

This is our neighborhood, go to spot when we are craving Chinese takeout. Big portions, reasonable prices, fresh ingredients, and a great selection of dishes.
