I went to this restaurant years ago before they moved to this location. I wasn’t impressed back then, but decided to give it another try.
We ordered boneless pork and steamed shrimp dumplings as appetizers, and mu-shu pork for the entrée. The pork had decent sauce but didn’t taste very fresh. The dumplings arrived lukewarm; we sent them back and they returned hot but completely bland.
The mu-shu pork was the biggest disappointment. It came with cold “pancakes” that crumbled when we tried to wrap them, and the pork itself was tasteless. I took a few bites and stopped.
My wife asked me not to say anything to the young waiter since it wasn’t his fault. He never asked how the food was anyway—just dropped the check and asked if we wanted a to-go bag (most of the meal was left).
We eat out often (look how many reviews I've left), and this happened to be a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst meals we’ve had in quite a while. Austin has some excellent Chinese restaurants and several decent ones. This wasn’t one of them.

So cozy. The staff could not be any sweeter!! This feels like a place you’d go on a date in a 90’s rom com. I hope they never renovate!

We ordered a pickup of Eel, Yellowtail, Snapper, Spider roll, Tuna roll, Spring roll & Seaweed salad. The eel was phenomenal. The yellowtail was so fresh, and the shrimp spring rolls were some of the best I’ve had.

This was overpriced Chinese food that you quickly get tired of. For the same price, I would rather go to RedFarm. We ordered on Ubereats and received white rice which was very dry. I am not sure which dish this came with though.
Chef's Special Beef ($21) with Fried Rice ($1): This was my husband's favorite. The beef is fried and coated in a rich sauce. It was enjoyable for the first few bites, then became a bit heavy. The fried rice was disappointing, worse than Panda Express. There were barely any vegetables, and what was there tasted old.
Oolong Tea Duck ($23) with Brown Rice ($1): The brown rice was nice and fluffy and tasted better than the fried or white rice. The duck is smoked with oolong tea and then fried. When we received it, it was not crispy, so we air-fried it ourselves, which made the meat drier. The oolong flavor was barely noticeable. I would not recommend ordering this for pick-up or delivery, only dine-in. The portion size of the duck was generous. The sweet plum sauce did not pair well with the duck; I preferred it with a darker hoisin-style sauce.
Moo Shu ($15) with Pork ($3): This was my favorite dish of the night. The flavors were consistent, textures were right, and the bamboo shoots were more pronounced. It came with thin pancakes that did not seem fully cooked.

I wanted to like the food but it was bland at best. Ordered Buddha feast which contained 2/3 of “fried rice “ ( was unseasoned rice with a sprinkling of frozen peas and carrots) and 1/3 of a medley of carrots, celery, and broccoli with a bland lobster style sauce. Usually that type of dish contains mushrooms and tofu, this had none. Very little food for $15. Maybe they were having a bad afternoon. Egg roll was decent but greasy. Didn’t eat the soup, so I can’t comment. No one in our group was overly impressed unfortunately.
Some of the best I’ve ever had! I got the sweet and sour chicken. Love the ambience!

The chilies they use in the General Tso chicken, among other dishes, has black mold. Their food has a strong moldy taste as of late.

Wonderful service and pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I am very picky when it comes to Asian food. I have had some of very best in Philadelphia so I will definitely come back here again.
