Twin Lion Chinese Restaurant

When you come to Austin you need to stop here for lunch or dinner. Andrea sat us in a cozy corner, took our order and was helpful in making a selection, she was amazing. We started with egg drop soup, egg roll with crispy noodles; it was delicious. Our entrees were cashew chicken and my husband had combination fried rice; both were fresh and delicious. My husband had sweet tea and I got hot jasmine tea. There was plenty of leftovers. The restaurant is nicely decorated while love songs play. We will be returning all the way from Fort Worth Tx.

We were greeted by the sweetest Zumu (grandmother) who helped us. Unassuming casual restaurant filled with a very friendly atmosphere. The soups are so rich and flavorful at Twin Lion Chinese Restaurant in Austin. The seasoning is excellent. We had the lunch specials served with an egg roll and soup. We also had crab Rangoon - excellent- amazing fried oozing with delicious cream cheese and their steamed dumplings. The dumplings are big and very tasty. I had Mongolian. Perfect. Just perfect. Hubby had the "Dragon and Lion Fight" was also tasty with the vegetables still slightly crispy.We want to come back and try the appetizer sampler. We give this place for the great fresh food and the casual and super sweet service a 6!!. A restaurant does not have to be pretentious and fancy to be a 6 in my book!!!

I love, love, love this restaurant. The family that runs it is so friendly and kind. But the food is legit. Very good Chinese cuisine. I especially love the Wonderful dinner and the chicken fried rice. They have great delivery and are always fast and the food is still hot. I enjoy the lunch specials when dining at the restaurant and I love the convenient arboretum location.m, which has ample parking.

Without hesitation I give Twin Lion five stars. We've been here three or four times and have ordered takeout once (planning on a second round of takeout tonight). The food is really good, the employees are the friendliest I've encountered anywhere in a while. Portion sizes are plentiful, and prices are decent. They have quickly become a favorite for us.

Our clinic orders lunch every other Friday to show appreciation for their employees. It's really nice, I love that we do that because it really does make me feel appreciated! This week we all chose Twin Lion. It's good for a group because there are so many options. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. They have seafood for pescatarian people in the office and also gluten free options as well. I chose the Buddha bowl with a vegetarian egg roll. Was it the best Asian style cuisine I have ever had? Maybe not, but it was impressive considering it was a small restaurant that is likely family owned. I loved that it was a healthy option that still tasted good. My coworkers also liked their various dishes that they chose. All in all, this is a great option for a group of people with various dietary restrictions. It can accommodate a lot of diets and everybody will be happy.

Love their Fried Rice which I picked up for book club. Everyone loved it. They have been an Austin staple in the Arbor and the food has not changed. As good as ever.

We went there for Lunch and we thought everything was top notch! Bathroom- A+Inside of the Restaurant A+ Service A+Food and Price A+ on both and at a fair price we both ordered the lunch specials one with Chicken and Vegetable with Fried Rice and Wonton Soup and I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken with Fried Rice and Wonton Soup both were excellent and you cannot find better Chinese Food and Wonton Soup Anywhere I guarantee you that we met the new owner and she was very nice and explained the new ownership changes give this place a try I guarantee you will be back

Always looking forward to visiting this place. Staff is friendly. Some dishes are better than others, but consistent with portions. I never have to wait very long for my food. It's always hot and FRESH!

Lady up front working register on Wednesday 02/05/2025 at 8 pm, is racist. Was super rude to my husband, while in the same breath being nice to everyone else. It made us extremely uncomfortable and we will not be returning. Food is bomb asf tho

We went during lunch, so chose from their lunch menu, as well as their appetizers. This was our first time there, but definitely won't be our last. We had to order several different items so that we could taste everything, because it was so difficult to choose. The service was impeccable.
