50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Austin

“Dumpling World was amazing! The boba was awesome, the soup dumplings were flavorful and perfectly made, and the cheese crab puff was absolutely delicious 🥟🧀🦀. Excellent service and such friendly staff. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing food and overall cool vibe! Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“I was very impressed by both the food and the customer service. The beef and broccoli was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly seasoned. The restaurant had a calm, family-friendly environment that made the experience even more enjoyable. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality and quantity of the food. Highly recommended!“

“Chef Hong's is an awesome hidden gem, located right between two buildings. The food is freshly made and amazing, never too greasy; I loved the beef noodles, chow mein, and fried rice. Their Chinese hamburgers were also incredible. The older couple who runs it provides super wholesome service, always making sure your food is hot and fresh. A must-try for anyone looking for comforting food, making it perfect for fans of comfort food. Highly recommend!

(Sorry for the horrible picture dose not do proper justice)“

“Great atmosphere, tasty food! We will be back!“

“We were welcomed as soon as we arrived. We're ordered pork egg rolls which were probably the best egg rolls I've ever had. I had cashew chicken and my husband had Mongolian beef. Both dishes were so good- fresh ingredients and full of flavor! The service was very good- attentive but not over bearing. We're loved this restaurant and hope to return soon!“

“When we arrived we were greeted by a friendly, enthusiastic young man. He welcomed us to the restaurant and thanked us for choosing Ling Wu for our special occasion (birthday). He also said we would receive a complimentary dessert. It was a nice introduction to the restaurant. We ordered soup dumplings, akaushi pot stickers, fried chicken dumplings and Kung Pao chicken with cashews. All of the food was delicious and our server was friendly and efficient. When she brought the complementary dessert, it was the cutest pig shaped strawberry mousse and was delicious and playful. Even the diners at the next table wanted to take a picture of it. Everything about the meal was great.“

“Everything was delish!! The Char Siu fried rice, the sizzling steak, the sweet and sour pork - all amazing!!“

“Great delicious food and great service.“

“Had a fantastic experience and my family is definitely coming back! The food and the service were excellent and the Nasi Pedang was impressive. We came with children who ate picky and that also loved everything and the staff was so sweet to them. I want to eat there everyday.... At least if I could I would. 🥳“

“Absolutely the BEST vegan sushi, noodles, red rice, fried eggplant, & Chive pancakes!! My new fave!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Hakka Express food truck in Anderson Mill is a hidden gem for anyone craving delicious Indo-Chinese cuisine. The standout dish has to be the Schezwan noodles—perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. The momo are a delightful treat, packed with flavor and served fresh. The chicken lollipop is another highlight, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, paired beautifully with their Schezwan gravy.

The customer service is incredibly friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. If you’re in the area and looking for a satisfying meal, Hakka Express is definitely worth a visit!“

“Love this place! The food is so good“

“They have THE BEST Chinese/Sichuan Food I’ve ever tasted! Everything I’ve tried has been extremely flavorful and fresh! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“We had lunch today at Me Con Bistro and it was fabulous! The Beef Pho Soup was the best I’ve ever had & the service was top notch too!“

“My third time here, it's time for a review. Absolutely DELICIOUS food, kind staff, and very generous portions. Perfect for sharing with friends or expecting to bring leftovers home for later.
Everything from the menu I've tried so far has been fantastic, even the dishes I didn't end up enjoying as much.“

“The 3 cup chicken is absolutely delicious! I crave it often!“

“Was visiting from Houston and looking for dinner options. I found this spot on Yelp and wanted to give them a try because of the beef noodle soup photos.

Service was attentive for dinner on a Saturday evening. We got the beef noodle soup, bbq baos, sticky rice in lotus wrap, and honey walnut shrimp.

Everything was delicious and they also had a big container of home made chilli oil that was so good! I told my friend who lives in the area he should add this place to his rotation!

The lady who closed us out was sweet and we look forward to returning soon.“

“Cool vibe, food was great but most importantly the service was amazing the owner I believe or head chef?

He was kind, attentive and even gave us extra rice as treat for our to-go!
So happy to support an establishment who cares about human justice on top of that

Will be taking friends and family here!“

“This is the best dumpling restaurant.
I highly recommend trying the spicy soup dumplings shown in the fourth photo I uploaded, they are a must. I’m actually very bad at handling spicy food, but these dumplings were deliciously spicy.

I was also very satisfied with all the other dishes in the photos. The staff were kind, and even the shape of the tableware was unique and special.

I would love to come back again… but since I’m moving to another state, I guess I’ll only be able to taste them again in my dreams.

Thank you for the wonderful meal.“

“Elvia is awesome sushi is fantastic I’ve been there 3 times this week“

“Absolutely amazing food! I had the Sichuan dry stir fried chicken, Brisket hot pot and the jumping fish. So good and fresh!!“

“We can review only the food as we ordered delivery with Uber eats.
In general the foods was good
Orange Chicken rated 4 too much sauce
Chicken broccoli rated 3.5 too much sauce, the broccoli was great and crispy.
Shrimp lettuce wrap 4
Beef fried rice 4
We definitely will order again.
Fast delivery very well packed.
It arrived warm right to eat“

“Food is just amazing ❤️🎈❤️ will be back soon“

“I LOVE this place!! Super friendly staff that are likely to remember you when you come back - and I do mean *when* because you’ll definitely be back! The food is so delicious, I’m vegetarian with a sensitive stomach and I’ve eaten here several times with zero issue, even if my stomach is already mad at me. I usually get the house tofu and rice, it’s a fantastic portion for a great price plus it comes out quickly! I highly recommend stopping in!“

“My favorite Chinese food in Austin!“

“Recently enjoyed sharing dinner here with friends. Service was excellent and entrees were delicious.“

“Such amazing service and the food is incredible. I’ve lived here my whole life and have yet to find good chinese food, but dragon fire is truly FIRE. The people are so kind and the food is always ready quick and consistent, which i can say because I eat here almost 3 times a week. THANK YOU DRAGON FIRE!!“

“This food is delicious! 5-stars!“

“Certain dishes were just incredible - the miso soup, the poke bowls, crab rangoon, and the mushroom salad. The sweet and sour chicken was however very dry, no sauce at all. Mixed feelings overall, but this place definitely feels authentic and has a lot to offer.“

“Just tried Song La for the first time today. Shirley was so incredibly friendly and the food was fantastic. I spent 3 months in Taiwan before moving to Austin and was craving some Taiwanese fried chicken and this hit the spot. Plus, everything is made to order and comes out super fresh (that said, don't come in a rush, make sure you've got a little time to enjoy their new spot at The Thicket and hang for a bit). Whether you've had Taiwanese food before and are craving it or just want to try some incredible fried chicken in a cool South Austin spot, definitely give them a try. ❤“

“Food was so yummy! Me and my family were very happy, took about 10 min to make 3 entrees , a kids fried rice and some gyozas that were very hot! Large portions too plenty leftovers. Came with all the condiments you would want. We would for sure go back“

“Food is always sooooo good!“

“Was served by a worker named Ron. Was great, attentive, and fast worker! Made amazing recommendations for our orders and made sure we got the most delicious dessert I’ve ever had which was the Banana rolls. I have a shrimp and shellfish allergy and he even printed a menu with items I could eat safely. Even gave me advice to get a girl I’ve been pursuing and now can say I am married with 2 kids because of him. Thank you for everything Ron!“

“Mala Chili has the best chinese food in all of Austin. I have never tasted better food in my life.
Their lo mein and fried rice was unbelievable. They also offer a good variety of food for vegetarians. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Must visit spot for who loves american chinese food
Must try items
>changs letus Wraps
>black pepper chicken with fried rice
>dynamite shrimp
>noodles and fried rice
Best cockatils must try martinis“

“I'm from New Orleans and was missing crawfish in a bad way and they were there for me with the Crawfish“

“Friendly hostess. Great food. The martinis are the best. They don’t mess around. Best service all the way around.“

“Traditional Chinse Food. When you see a lot of Chinese people in the restaurant then you know it is great food.“

“The service and food was great! I don't think I appreciated the food to it's fullest and extent because I have yet to grasp the esoteric art of chopstick-wielding. My brother greatly enjoyed the food, in particular, the fried rice. I would highly recommend.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get photos of the food since we ate it so quickly.“

“The Foods are amazing. We always stop by here whenever we visit Austin“

“Came to pick up my food and the staff gave me a warm welcome! The place was well kept, employees looked like they wanted to be there, and most importantly the food hit the spot! If you're looking for a late night Chinese food craving, this is the place to go. The general tso or chicken fried rice is my personal go to.“

“Great little spot with good food, accessible parking, good service, and it's privately/locally owned. I don't think the veggies or tofu are organic. The chairs make a lot of noise when you scoot them. But these are the only small things I can think of that I would change. Today I got a veg tofu dish lunch special. It was ready in about 10 minutes, cooked well, great taste, and the young man behind the counter was helpful. So good! Lunch special is $10 before tax (at least for the veg tofu options, I'm not sure about the others) and you get an entree, rice, and a side (soup/roll/pot sticker I think) and it's a very full meal for one hungry person or two medium sized meals for a more dainty eater. I have eaten there numerous times with only good experiences and I will eat there again even though I moved across town.“

“Soupleaf is one of the best hot pots around. Delicious broths with veggie/vegan options, tons of veggies and noodles AYCE style, and availability for included AYCE seafood at the bar, plus meats they bring out to you (if you’re into that). Unlimited sauce bar, rice, noodles…everything is included. They also have fruit and soft serve for dessert. You can top off your broth with a different variety where most other places will charge you extra for a different broth flavor. I also love that they have a different price point for their “Sealeaf” if you just want veggies and foods from the AYCE bar without any meat. Very vegan/vegetarian friendly place, but I’ve also brought meat eaters and watched them rub their full belly while rolling out the door. Great value, taste, variety of fresh ingredients, a consistently good experience.“

“Always like the vibe and a great classic menu. Even getting it to go, it's still hot and delicious at home. Of course you gotta' know certain items travel better than others so my late in the process addition of fried dumplings is on me.“

“So glad New Fortune is back and it's closer to me. We go for the dim sum but of course we always order something from the regular menu. This time, we ordered Salt n Pepper Shrimp and Szechuan Style Green Beans along with a few dim sum items.“

“Highly recommend. We are fairly picky when it comes to Chinese food and both my wife and I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the General Tsos with egg drop soup and fried rice. She ordered the Singaporean noodles. Both were awesome. Definitely coming back.

Also, as a bonus, portions are great!“

“I almost don’t want to leave a review because this feels like one of those places you accidentally discover and keep to yourself. The lighting was low, there was a piano player in the corner just casually killing it all night, and the whole place had this relaxed old-school jazz club feel.
And the chicken? Ridiculous. Crispy, juicy, packed with flavor — the kind of food where everybody at the table goes quiet for a minute. Nothing fancy or overdone, just genuinely really good.
Between the music, the atmosphere, and the food, this place just nailed it. Definitely one of the coolest spots I’ve been to in a while.

I came for the chicken and stayed for the jazz.“

“ways our heart bought us foods made us food & Be food we were craving Filipino foods during lunch time around 2p. highly recommend it a lot. We will look forward to seeing guys. ..Food tastes good 💯🤤🤤 proud to be kabayan here ❤️ the lady was the one to service us and she knows ASL. That was incredibly amazing and cool. We talked thru sign language for good. Thank you again 😍🫶🏻“

“A Hidden Gem That Deserves Way More Love

Sichuan River Restaurant is one of those rare places that completely exceeds expectations and leaves you wondering how it’s still so underrated. The food is absolutely outstanding—bold, authentic Sichuan flavors with the perfect balance of heat, spice, and depth. Every dish tastes thoughtfully prepared, from the rich, fragrant sauces to the mouth-tingling peppercorn kick that keeps you coming back for “just one more bite.” It’s the kind of meal you think about long after you’ve left.
What truly elevates the experience, though, is the staff. They’re warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help, whether you’re new to Sichuan cuisine or a longtime fan looking for recommendations. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in, and that hospitality makes the incredible food taste even better. Sichuan River Restaurant is a seriously underrated treasure—once you discover it, you’ll be telling everyone you know that this place deserves a packed dining room every night.“
