One of our favorite spots on the East Side!
We service many of your neighbor's grease traps. Would love to get you a quote.

First time visiting Sweet Chive and absolutely loved it! Seems like you really can’t go wrong with anything you get here. The Pork Bao was probably the best I’ve had, amazing flavor! Highly recommend the Holly Hood sushi roll the smoky flavor makes this roll so unique! 1000% recommend and would come here again! Service was 10/10 too- everyone is so friendly and our server had great recommendations!

First off, everyone was really sweet and I enjoyed my interactions with them. The place was also really charming with plenty of good wall art. However...my mushroom dish was essentially 2 cups of rice and 1 cup of mushrooms. It had zero seasoning. It's almost as if they forgot an ingredient or two. I dumped some soy sauce from the over cooked scallion pancakes on it, and that helped, but in the end, I regretted eating it. I derived no joy, but I was full. I could have made that dish for a few dollars at home. (Except I would have seasoned it.) Also, it took quite a long time for my food to arrive 20-20 minutes. My friend finished all ofnhis food by the time mine arrived. And the place was empty. Again, the staff were really nice. I wanted to like the food. I feel bad about this review. I won't be returning. Vegan doesn't mean tasteless. Hope this was just a bad day.

This is the best meal I’ve had since moving down to Austin. 10/10. Get the beef claypot.

The fried dumplings were incredible. The hot oil and dumpling sauce were so good I took home a jar.

Best food I've had in months. Had the beef fried dumplings and pork fried dumplings they were amazing! Hot chili oil amazing. You gotta check out this spot in Austin.

They open til midnight! My first takeout order is meat sauce noodle and chive pancake. the meat sauce is good, I love the shredded carrots, cucumber and bell peppers and CILANTRO 💚 but the noodles are soggy and wayyyyy overcooked. I know they overcook it since I ate it immediately at the back of the parking lot and it couldn’t possibly be because I didn’t eat it right away and let it steamed in the togo container.
Maybe it’s because I ordered takeout at 11:47pm. The last order can be a blooper?

The chive pancake is alright. They deep fry it, which isn’t quite traditional. All in all I am out $27 dollars and not very satisfied.

But….. I might recuperate my disappointment and come back later for their pork rice, since the meat sauce is pretty good and tastes like home :) so maybe their rice dishes and dumplings will taste like home too~

First time visiting. They have been on my radar for a while amd so glad we finally visited! They have a Taiwanese menu and flip over to see the Chinese menu with sushi, ext. We had to try the green onion pancakes and they were OK, but we also had one of their sushi rolls and it took a while to come out, but it was.... AMAZING! So fresh and flavorful, I cant wait to come back n try more! For entree we got the beef someone and pork belly n noodles, both full of flavor, and fresh ingredients. The beef did have some chewy parts and my partner said the noodles were a bit salty, but thats just his preference (he never uses salt in his cooking).
Atmosphere was so cozy and some art they have on walls are for sale and has artist IG handles, love that as im an artist myself!
Plus size inclusiveness also gets 5 stars. They have tables with movable benches and tables with chairs as well.
And of course prices was very affordable for the quality of the food!
