The service is terrible. I placed an order online, it said it was accepted, and drove 30 minutes to get there.

When I arrived, she said she never confirmed my order. I had two options then:

1. Cancel and refund
2. Place the order again and wait 40 minutes

What a joke of a place.

I cannot recommend this place.

Came here for the first time after my father-in-law recently tried Asia Cafe and couldn’t stop talking about it, so our family decided to come together and experience their Chinese cuisine. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt casual, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed family meal.

As vegetarians, we were happy to see several solid options on the menu. We ordered three vegetarian dishes: water spinach, kung pao-style tofu, and eggplant. Each dish arrived hot, beautifully cooked, and full of flavor. What really stood out was how balanced everything tasted. The food wasn’t overly oily or heavy, which is something I’ve often encountered at other Chinese restaurants. Instead, the vegetables tasted fresh, the sauces were well-seasoned, and each dish felt thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed.

The water spinach was vibrant and crisp, the kung pao dish had a nice kick without overpowering the ingredients, and the eggplant was tender and comforting. Portions were generous enough to share, making it ideal for dining family-style.

Overall, we truly enjoyed the food, the quality, and the time spent together. Asia Cafe has officially earned a spot on our list of go-to places, locally.

My second most favorite restaurant in Austin.
Been going here since 2022 and a review has been long overdue.
Regular here and have ordered multiple dishes. All have been good. Dumplings, main course, soups, fried rice, noodles.

Pros - A good variety, great quantity, quick service, reasonable prices.

Attached in picture are Mongolian lamb and spicy chicken.

This is easily the best Chinese food, by far, my wife and I have had in Austin. For a very long tme, we used to get food from A+A Sichuan, but Asia Cafe has surpassed them. Asia cafe has been ranked as one of the top 50 best Chinese restaurants in the USA. Do yourself a favor and try them out. Every dish we have tried is excellent. Highly recomended.

Ate here for years, quality of fish has declined. The box we used for takeout had the answer. The fish was imported from China. Oh well...

This is a hole in the wall that all the local chefs know as the place to eat. It's tasty.
