Asia Cafe

In Austin for work. Restaurant is next to my hotel. Came yesterday and ate Gen Tso Chicken and Devil Shrimp, it was very very good and I left a great review. It was so good I came back today and got spicy Mongolian Beef, and also tried the spicy chicken wings. Hands down the best Chinese food I have ever eaten. Great portions, very good price, great service. Worth the drive from anywhere in Austin!

Amazingly good Chinese food! Their menu is vast and it's all fantastic, then they have weekly specials that aren't on the menu that are great too. I eat there all the time and still have so many new and wonderful things to try. I have never had a bad meal here. It's all great. The worst problem is that there's new things to try but you're hungry for that last great thing again. Asia Cafe is my go-to Chinese food take out place. 10/10, they won't disappoint.

The Asian food here is delicious and affordable, and the menu has a lot of options, including dishes with pork, chicken, seafood, and duck. The size of the meals are really big and can easily feed two people. The service is fast and the waiters are polite. The only “bad” side is that the place is very simple/old, so I do not recommend for a special date.

Not much ambiance to the restaurant, but the good food is the allure. Chicken fried rice was rather bland - needed to add a lot of soy sauce. The fried duck was awesome! Not just the breast meat, but the whole duck chopped up. We also tried the general tso’s chicken and spicy beef flank. Both very tasty and the beef has a nice heat to it. Definitely would recommend and return again!

Decent Chinese food for the area. I frequent here and tried various dishes - and I echo the sentiment that there’s a charge for bottled water and tea. The food itself is pretty good and it stayed around after the pandemic. To me, this is the standard for what average cheap Chinese food should taste like, especially in Austin.

Went for dinner with my son. We ordered the more-sour-than-hot hot and sour soup. It tasted alright, I still think the chef could use more spicy than vinegar and reduce salt a bit. The other dish was sizzling Beef in black peppercorn sauce, again too salty for my stomach. We also ordered deep fried tofu with seafood which cooked just right. One thing to notice was that no more free ice water and hot tea were served, owner charged $1 for a bottle of water and a glass of tea. It kinda felt awkward.

Asia Cafe is just off Hwy 183 and Spicewood Springs Road. Lots of parking and they have a big dining area with smaller private rooms for larger parties. Counter-style ordering and you’ll be assigned an order number for take out or eat in. Food: Yangchow fried rice, broccoli beef, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a number of their soups are tasty. Service: Again, as it’s counter-style ordering, they may call your number and you have to go to the front to collect your food on a tray. Self service for utensils, etc. Cost: Anywhere from $12-$18 for an entree. We have found that portion sizes are much better for your buck when you eat in versus takeout. Note: One irksome thing about eating here is they do not provide water, you’ll have to buy it. Takes cards and cash and has a rewards system to earn points to redeem for water (ha!) or other specified dishes.

Wide selection of authentic and non authentic Chinese food on the menu. Various dishes were unavailable when we dined in. The house fish fillet with tofu was a little spicy. There are peppercorns in it that numbs your tongue for a few seconds. Salt & pepper squid was a little too salty for me but when you mix with the garlic sauce from the shrimp and scallop dish; it is perfect. The eggplant in garlic sauce is must order dish for me and it was delicious. Eggplants were cooked to the correct texture where it is not too soft and not too hard. Cannot wait to come back to try more dishes!
