Reviews
First off the atmosphere is so great. I love the bar vibes and interior – it is cozy and slightly more upscale than a dive bar with comfy chairs. They have a pool table and dim lighting but not too dark where I need a flashlight to see what I am eating. We came on a Wednesday night and it wasn’t too crowded and we were able to find a table for 6. You just find a table, sit down and order via QR code and someone brings you the food.
The dishes I got included yellow Ranger fries which were really sliced potatoes that were perfectly crispy served with aioli and chili crisp and was absolutely delicious. I also got the Dan Dan noodles with tofu which was a good size portion – the tofu was perfectly crisp and the noodles were Al dente and the sauce was pretty good though I wish it had just a little more sesame paste. As a table we shared the black garlic queso and oh my gosh was that delicious I was worried the black garlic may overpower the queso, but it didn’t and added a nice umami punch without making it overly salty.
Drinks wise that’s where the bar comes in and they do have a water station.
Parking is free with lot attached and it is small so there was plenty of street parking as well.
Also the reviewers rating the place lower because of QR code menu is very strange to me as since COVID I feel most restaurants have shifted to using QR codes to browse menus and order. We came in as a group of 6 and we all found it much easier to order via QR code and individually pay for our own food. Not sure why others had issues with it. We all have our phones and printed menus often come stained/items out of orders/prices aren’t accurate.
Good vibes, cheap drinks (especially for in Austin, and pretty good food as well. I had a few $3 cream ales and also tried my fiance’s iron whip and everything was pretty solid.
For food, we split a few things between 3 people: queso, burger, and I think the 3rd thing was the Signature Taiwanese Fried Chicken in garlic sauce with crispy Thai basil. I liked the umami touch on the queso and was surprised at how good it was. The burger and chicken were both great and the service was relatively fast too.
Overall, a solid experience and we’ll definitely be back.
Passion is a huge driving force behind my radar for good food as an experience. These guys are the kind of passion I feed off of (not pun intended), and hearing the love for the art of making good food from them got me so excited before food showed up at our table.
The food matched and exceeded my expectations. I had General Tso – because it’s something you know will tell you about the quality. It blew me away. It’s a TOUGH dish to execute in the right ways for people who take their food choices seriously. It was maximally flavorful, cooked perfectly, fragrant as though it knew I was looking for the smokiness of wok fried chili peppers that seemingly never arrived at the kit-grade take away spots we all have had. The pork egg rolls were so unique I almost wish it had its own new name, so goo. And the QUESO…holy experience. I also ordered smashed cucumbers w/ my general tso and it should be a requirement IMO.
The location itself is really cool, I’m not huge into social eateries being from busy AF NJ/NYC (we like to get in, eat in peace, or take to go) but this place was fantastic. Never felt overwhelmed or unwanted. Just good vibes! Even the door guy was awesome.
We showed up with 10 people and were taken care of so well, checked in on regularly, chatted with despite the place being busy as can be on a Wednesday night, and food came out mas rapido.
Go here for the food, and enjoy the blessing.
He was kind, attentive and even gave us extra rice as treat for our to-go!
So happy to support an establishment who cares about human justice on top of that
Will be taking friends and family here!
They have a great selection of vegetarian dishes and are willing to accommodate other dietary needs.
The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was a fun 70s theme with old beer lights, a pool table, and darts.
