A delicious spot for Chinese food! Out of the dim sum, my friends and I ordered the Qi Soup Dumplings and Roasted Duck Pancake. The soup dumplings tasted so authentic and came with a side of a chili/vinegar sauce that you could add to taste. The roasted duck pancake was even more yummy with its crispy yet soft and chewy texture. The duck itself was very flavorful as well. Of the soups, we ordered both the Hot and Sour Soup and Egg Drop Corn Soup. If you're a corn girl, you will LOVE the egg drop soup. It's light but packed with corn flavor and corn pieces. The hot and sour soup was my favorite of the two though. It was tangy and packed the right amount of spicy heat. For our main, we ordered both the Truffle Egg Fried Rice and Honey Akaushi Beef. You HAVE to order the truffle fried rice if you're dining here! It's got this umami flavor to it that was light yet savory at the same time. Debated on ordering a second bowl to take home! Overall, a very solid place for an upscale Chinese dining experience.

Good food and service! I also loved that there's free parking in the garage attached to the building. The food itself is definitely overpriced for the quality, but the ambiance, decor, and location definitely make up for it. I probably wouldn't come back because there are way better spots in Austin for dim sum and Chinese food, but if you're downtown, you should come eat at this restaurant at least once to see for yourself.

My favorite restaurant in Austin continues to deliver its best! I love everything about this place, the staff, the food, the ambiance, the location- they have their own parking too. I prefer this one to all its other sister restaurants. They have plenty of vegan options and their salt n pepper tofu is yum!! Definitely check out ..

We had a work goodbye and decided to come here as one of our team knew the owners and managed to get us a private room upstairs! Worth it as it was all amazing - great food ; great service and great music! The cocktails weee amazing - we all began with lychee Martinis which were excellent and then I had a drink made with green tea and rose which was one of the best cocktails I have ever had! We began with dumplings- my team had the pork soup, I had the vegetarian - all really food! Then we tried a variety of dishes / the truffle fried rice was to die for as was the lobster tail and their take on Mapo Tofu was incredible / not too salty and perfectly cooked! Has such a fun time out 2 hour plans turned into 5 hours! Cannot wait to be back! Truly exceptional

Christmas day Dim sum was an experience here.. beautifully decadent & well-appointed dining room exceeded expectations for this Lin-related concept. The foods we ordered were varied, but I would say I like 1618 better at (generally better) price points. Loved the upside-down Japanese umbrellas on the ceiling á la Lin! They even have cool Japanese bidet toilets in the bathrooms! Beautiful menu-based dim sum was still an upscale experience overall, and we had a great server who kept our tables (and glasses) full. My picky 7 year old lleven foubd something he loved-- the snow crab balls! I'd come back here to try more of the menu, for sure.

Good lawd, they don't miss! 4th time I've eaten here and I think it gets better every time. Ambiance is fancy and dope and always. I came with a big group and we had our amazing server order for the table. Pro tip- Ask them for recommendations. My personal favorite- the red fish! The skin was crispy and the meat is delicious. Wow wow wow! Favorite dumpling- Lobster dumpling wins! Order it and order it now! 2nd Fave- Duck with Bao buns. Add everything on top and top it off with hoisin sauce. Yummy! Bring your date and impress them.

Best Mai Tai ever. The Xao Long Bao soup dumplings and the shrimp stuffed eggplant were very good. The BBQ pork buns were standard issue, but what's not to love. The bok choy was outstanding. The service was better than average. They have indoor and outdoor seating. But even if you sit outside, snack or the interior decor and the bar. Amazing! We were spoiled on great dim sum in California. It's good to know we can still find classic dim sum in Texas.

Delicious dim sum spot for date night or with friends! We found this place on yelp as a recommended asian dining spot and it definitely did not disappoint. My bf got the gold digger cocktail which was delicious, and for food we ordered the Qi Soup Dumplings, Basil Chicken Dumplings, Pan Fried Beef Bao, and Hot n Sour Soup. Everything came out piping hot and was really yummy. This place puts a twist on traditional dim sum in a good way! I liked the unique flavors and appreciated the fusion -- just noting this as a heads up so you don't go into the meal thinking it will be a traditional experience. Our waitress was super kind and also brought out the Mushroom Chicken Sui Mai, which were also incredibly moist and fabulous. Overall I would definitely recommend this spot!!
