1618 - Austin

The taste of everything we ordered was exceptional, definitely recommended! However, the portions are on the smaller side (for example, 2 small skewers per plate for the duck appetizer). The average wait time for a table is about 30 minutes, so make sure to arrive early and put your name on the waitlist.

I would gladly go broke eating here. Our entire dinner party agreed this is one of the best Asian places we have ever eaten at! It was busy on a Saturday but we only had a short wait and then were seated. Our server was very nice and attentive. The inside of the restaurant had a cool vibe, and looked like they even have a stage for music which would be fun.They have quite a large menu, with both alcoholic drinks as well as nonalcoholic and coffee/teas. The dragon fruit rose water was so fruity and delicious I had to slow my roll before I drank the entire thing and couldn’t eat my meal. The soup dumplings are a must order item. The broth was fantastic and I loved the sauces they serve them with. My dinner party ordered the shrimp and scallop dumplings and they raved about them so they’re worth trying for sure! The beef rib pho is also a must order. It was all so hot and fresh, they literally poured the broth out right in front of me, and I could pull the bones out of the meat like a knife through butter. It was delicious. We all had to waddle out. It was great! Can’t vouch for the desserts as we were much to full but they were calling my name. So I’ll definitely be back to try them.Parking is also pretty nice, as there is a big parking garage with ample space.

THE BEST DIM SUM I’VE EVER HAD IN TEXAS!?Came in on a busy Friday night/holiday weekend. Was seated quickly, and the service was wonderful! The food was even BETTER?Strong, delicious drinks, absolutely perfect dumplings. Save room for entrees! The noodles are to die for! Can’t wait to come back.

My new favorite place in Austin. Exceptional food. Soup dumplings the best in Texas. Four seasons duck-OMG, each bite brings out new flavors. Octopus was very good too. Their specialty drinks delicious. And we tried affogato for dessert, it was a nice finish.Food: 5/5

Loved this restaurant! We were visiting from San Antonio and our family brought us here. What a great experience. The food was so good. We ordered and ordered and all the food was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and put on a show with our dessert.Food: 5/5
