    Was it the eggplant? The tangerine beef? The Singapore noodles? The soup dumplings? Everything was so good, I completely forgot about my cocktail - and I love cocktails! You WON'T be disappointed.

    Fantastic Chinese food and atmosphere. And I mean REAL Chinese food. The soup dumplings are can't-miss. Wait staff is A+. Don't forget to say hello to Gold Dirty B*stard (the goldfish) near the door.

    Shanghai soup dumplings are big. Patio seating can get hot. Great presentation, you can taste the ingredients. Wait staff are nice but kitchen can be slow. Reserve seating and order many dishes early.

    These guys go by less is more from a menu perspective, but what they put forth they do well: chow fun, Kung pao, green beans all great. Skip the crispy noodle joint it’s not what you’re lookin for

    Tangerine beef was wonderful. Very nice place and atmosphere. Great quality, but it is much more expensive than the tips make it look like.

    Every single item on the menu is delicious. I would eat the napkins if they said they’re edible. Love Chinese and haven’t eaten? Leave Austin.

    Green beans, spicy wontons, soup dumplings, tangerine beef, salt & pepper squid were all delicious. Only thing that disappointed was the wine, but that's because my GF likes small, boring reds.

    The Soup Dumplings and Eggplant are so bomb. Come with friends and try a bit of everything! It's all great 👌🏻

    The tenderloin pork steam dumplings were very good, 5 for 8. I'm a student, the one $ is not accurate for me, but maybe for richer people.

    The soup dumplings are overrated, but everything else was so good, we went back 2 days later. Bottomless water and Diet Coke made it great.

    Soup dumplings are amazing! The cocktails are great too. Some served in fun containers. The place is definitely not cheap.

    The seafood birds nest is unique and fresh. The soup dumplings came leaking, but nobody is perfect

    It's a cool atmosphere and I liked that the waiters are knowledgeable about the food. The pancake and chicken bao are good.

    Soup dumplings are LEGIT. If you've gone to Joe's Shanghai in NYC you'll like them here. Obsessed with the homemade chili oil! Thanks CK! 👍🏼

    Honestly not sure what the hype is... everything we had was mediocre at best - minus the soup dumplings, which were excellent. The green beans didn’t stack up against all the amazing reviews 🤷🏻‍♀️
