Downtown dining |
908 Congress Ave Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 474 0137 |
Just two blocks from the State Capitol, this fantastic little restaurant is a favorite with the downtown business crowd. Serving high quality Szhechuan and Hunan Chinese cuisine this wonderful little slice of gourmet cuisine has a fantastic atmosphere and super service. House specialties include the Special Duck and Taipei Shrimp. The Seafood Platter, a mix of crab, shrimp, scallops and veggies served in a fabulous white wine sauce is a steal.

Hidden Dragon |
3801 North Capital of Texas Highway Suite J180, Davenport Village Shopping Center Austin, TX 78746 United States +1 512 732 7278 |
With places like Maiko, Kyoto and Kenichi, one certainly isn't starved for sushi choices in Austin. It's easy to overlook Dragon Gate, but don't pass up this Phoenix Pai restaurant as easily. The touchstone of a good sushi restaurant is its Hamachi, and Dragon Gate executes it with finesse. The traditional Japanese and Chinese specials are praiseworthy, and the Tepanyaki bar adds to the contemporary chic aesthetic. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gourmet Chinese |
4006 South Lamar Blvd Suite 1000 Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 447 3388 |
This Chinese restaurant has been a favorite for nearly two decades. Serving up healthy portions of gourmet Hunan and Mandarin cuisine at honest prices. Attractive atmosphere, but do not expect a lot of Oriental decor. More like a casual Austin restaurant with wood paneling, nice artwork and table linens. Recommended dishes are the Hot and Sour Soup; Seafood Rolls; chopped shrimp, scallops and mango wrapped in rice paper and fried; Orange Beef; lightly breaded and stir-fried in a thick, spicy, brown sauce with orange peel and red peppers; Jalapeno Chicken; crispy white meat strips accented with sliced jalapenos and black beans.
