One of the few “authentic” Chinese restaurants in Austin offering Sichuan, Hunan, and Shanghainese cuisine. It’s family owned, super friendly staff, and the closest you can get to a home cooked meal. Some knockouts are:
– Steamed Fish & Tofu with Red Picked Pepper
– Crispy Fried Chicken
– Shanghai Stir-fried Rice Cakes
-Griddle Cooked Cauliflower w/ Smoked Pork
Highly recommend as it’s one of my regular Chinese restaurant rotations. Be a little patient with their service as it can get busy and they are family staffed.

Unfortunately, nothing stood out here.
We ordered three dishes and every one was mediocre. The so-called crispy spicy chicken was a joke, the vegetables were bland, and only the spicy boiled fish was passable.
Long wait times even for dine-in, with barely any service.

We waited half hour to get the food. Half hour to get the bill because waitress/ owner is talking to other customers and couldn’t hear me asking for a bill. There were only a few customers the whole time. I do not understand the wait at all.
Food was good. Portion size was good. Worth the overprice.

A hidden gem in Austin! Menu offers a variety of authentic options (especially on the Sichuan and Hunan side of Chinese cuisine) as well as classic American Chinese. The stir-fried rice cake and the Hunan spicy stir-fried pork and peppers were both 5/5 in flavor, potions, and price! The owners are very kind as well. Found a new top Chinese spot in Austin!

Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but this is definitely the worst Asian food I’ve ever had. It took 40 minutes to make our food. The crab rangoons were very small and the filling was firm and crumbly instead of creamy. The chicken texture was awful and most pieces looked almost pink? It was a little tough to tell but I don’t usually have to question the color of my chicken. The lo mein was very bland, with the barely cooked onions holding most of the flavor. The best part of my meal was the white rice.

Loved the Shanghai rice cakes, fish with preserved mustard greens, spicy fish, Szechuan numbing chicken, green beans, mapo tofu, & cauliflower dry pot. Not greasy and felt lighter like home cooking – I really liked every dish! They were also very accommodating for our large group and brought small plates for the birthday cake. Great service and food, and we will be back!

I had an excellent experience at Seven Spice! The walnut shrimp, tofu and vegetables, and sizzling beef were absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy, making it a great spot for a family dinner or casual hangout.
Everything from the service to the quality of food exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!

I’ve been visiting Seven Spice in Austin for years now, and it consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. I recently celebrated Lunar New Year with my friends there, and once again, we were blown away by the delicious food and warm hospitality.
We ordered a wide variety of dishes, and everything was perfectly seasoned and presented. The flavors were bold and vibrant, and the ingredients were fresh and high-quality. The owners are incredibly welcoming and passionate about their food, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience.
This was my third visit to Seven Spice, and it hasn’t disappointed once. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is inviting, and the service is impeccable. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a delicious meal, I highly recommend Seven Spice. It’s a true gem in Austin’s culinary scene.

We had been driving by this restaurant on Spicewood Springs for over a year when we decided to drop in on an impulse. Nothing too fancy about the restaurant and a little plain but quiet and cozy. I ordered a cup of hot and sour soup, and my wife and I shared an order of Kung Pao chicken with extra peanuts and an order of egg rolls. Service was good and our order was delivered hot. The soup was pretty thin and had little depth. The egg rolls were greasy and not special at all. The kung pao was good but was over-loaded with peanuts. Nicely spiced though and they had cut up the chili peppers to nicely spice it. When our bill came I questioned the 4 Dollar charge for extra peanuts. Our server said they were extra charge but $4 is ridiculous. All in all it is a decent local option but I doubt we will return.
