Been twice now on Sunday Brunch when the DJ is there. The vibe is A1, the food is AAAAA11111111, the decor is adooooorable & fun & feels good!!!!… but the customer service last Sunday was simply WEIRD.. We often had to get their attention, even when we were one of the few tables in there. We were buying food & drinks, but you’d swear they did not care about sales bc they never would come back when glasses were empty or even ask if we want another. There were 3 or 4 different people that tended to us through our meal, all very nice, but just a strange feel. Even the ordering was off, and food coming out was off.
Buuuuuut, deliciousssssss everything has been both times!!

Fast/quality service and flavorful food! I had the Mala fried chicken recommended by the bartender. I was told it’s also a happy hour special on rotation for only $5! I paid $16 and would pay full price anytime, it was that good. Call in advance to see what entre is for happy hour that day.

The hot and sour soup was devious, the lo mein was perfect combination of chinese and big texas bar b que flavor. We also enjoyed the tao’s chicken with white rice. Everything had a healthy spice to it, I loved it so much! And so easy to find anything available seat.

Came here with a large group! The atmosphere was really cool! I felt like I wasn’t in Austin for the entire moment I was there. It gives east coast New York kinda vibes. With the lighting, and the energy! The smells of the kitchen, the sounds of the hot WOK.. pretty cool spot!
The drinks were awesome, the food is really REALLY good! Like it’s FANTASTIC.
They have a cool bar with plenty of seating, and the restaurant has awesome decor throughout.
The staff seems really nice and chill as well. They took care of all of our needs, as we were rolling like 12 deep that evening.

My family and I were searching for a brunch spot on Father’s Day when we stumbled upon this place with its enticing $3 mimosas. It’s a shame that’s all it takes to draw customers. I recommend making a reservation at this charming little establishment.
Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the Chinese motif, which gave me a glimpse of the cuisine to come. Despite not having a reservation, we were seated promptly. They do validate parking, and I believe they offer multiple menus, but we opted for the brunch menu from 11 am to 3 pm.
I ordered the brisket fried rice, which was a generous portion of food in a small bowl. It was delicious, but I wished I had some sweet and sour sauce to add a touch of moisture to my rice. My son chose the chicken in waffles, which was equally tasty and had a funnel cake-like texture.
The waiter was right about the duck fat; it was barely noticeable.
My granddaughter ordered the veggie rolls, but neither she nor I were impressed. They were fried too hard for my liking, and the sauce was a bit too salty.
Despite the close proximity of the tables, I could still hear the conversations of the people next to me, which was a bit distracting. Overall, the restaurant had a pleasant ambiance, but the food over all was very good.

This was described as a “must visit” by our waitress at the Downright. The only regret I had is that we didn’t go immediately. We made an open table type reservation and showed up early. The place was packed but we didn’t wait long. The atmosphere was relaxed but dressy. When you think Chinese restaurant and you are from NJ, you have a different expectation. I would describe the atmosphere here as hip in a way that seems like the owners kids took over the restaurant and changed it in small ways to make it better. Loud hip hop, little old school Chinese highlights(red paper lanterns,etc) to honor the past but the but cool flowered wall papered walls, lots of visual interest, the ultra simple menu and the relaxed dress in the staff make for a great place to have a drink and eat.
The food: Easily the best meal of the week and it was competing with the best barbecue experience I’ve ever had. They had a pork bun special! I’ve had a lot of pork buns (and sometimes they are hard to find) and their take on providing the buns in a traditional bamboo Zheng Long (steamer) and having it be a “build your own” experience was a nice touch.
We started with the Buddha’s delight (glass noodles) and it was a flavorful, stick to your ribs type dish that was recommended by the waiter. Really good and something everyone should try. For entrees, the first we ordered was the General Tso’s chicken. If you are expecting an overly sweet, mound of chicken pieces stuck together in an orange candy sauce then you need to leave the north east and head to this restaurant. It was sweet but tangy, darker than the General Tso’s I am used to and easily the best I’ve had. We ate slow to make it last. 2nd Entree was the Honey Pecan Shrimp. I’d like to tell you about this one first hand but my General Tso’s was so good, I didn’t want mix flavors. According to my wife it was excellent: different and delicious. She ate it all. The dishwasher was probably happy with us.
We didn’t have dessert because we were stuffed and need to walk it off. If you visit Austin, don’t miss this meal. I don’t have a ton of favorite meals but this one is in my list. I will visit here every time or visit.

Old Thousand is a fun, modern take on Chinese cuisine that blends bold flavors with a relaxed, energetic atmosphere. The menu offers a mix of familiar favorites and creative dishes, and everything we tried was well-seasoned and thoughtfully prepared. Portions are satisfying, making it a good option for sharing with friends. The vibe is lively and social, and the space feels stylish without being pretentious. Service was attentive and kept things moving even when it got busy. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a casual night out with flavorful food and a good buzz.

Their happy hour on Saturday/Sunday from 5-7pm is such a nice deal. $5 cocktails (2 to pick from) and their $5 entree-of-the-day. I make a weekly stop here and will usually spend like $25 to catch a good buzz and be full. Highly recommended!

Sick vibe, the whole old school Chinese restaurant decor is spot on. They have $5 specials on beer, cocktails, apps, and a featured entree you can share. Food is amazing, with a laid back atmosphere. We will be back in the weekend for brunch which includes limited bao buns. Get here if you haven’t yet!

The vibes of the restaurant are so fun — esp the music!
We love the food and have so many favorites (brisket fried rice, spicy chicken dumplings, mango panna cotta, mala chicken with no seasoning and buttered noodles for the kids).
Parking is a breeze in the lot behind the restaurant and the service is always friendly! They do get busy and the seating gets pretttty tight but we’re usually in and out within an hour.
We love bringing visitors here — such a fun and delicious take on comfort Chinese food.
