To mark the Lunar New Year, we asked you last week about your favorite Chinese restaurants and your go-to dishes.
Liz P. recommends Chen's Noodle House ("the best sesame bun"), in northwest Austin, and Julie's Noodles ("amazing soup dumplings"), on Research Boulevard.
- "Both are holes in the wall which makes it all the more charming," she writes.
Choice K. suggests Twin Lion on Braker Lane.
- "I usually do a take-out of the large wonton soup, an order of veggie fried rice and two veggie eggrolls. My wife, Trudy, loves the General Tso's chicken. Excellent food. Friendly staff."
Nancy K. suggests "any of Chef Ling's restaurants, but especially Ling Kitchen" — also on Research Boulevard — "for her tasting menu."
- "It's always changing, so no one favorite, but the dim sum menu is ... the best we've had in the U.S. outside of San Francisco."
- "Order a lychee martini, soup dumplings (xiao long bao, we like the traditional pork, but they come in crab too) and the chicken taro egg rolls for the kiddos and you'll be transported to dim sum heaven!"
Tracie Tracey — yes, we checked, that's a real name, ("I married it, then unmarried it, but the name is such a great icebreaker," Tracie tells us) — writes with this tidbit: "While Facebook is old school, there's a fabulous, very active group 'ATX Asian Food.'"
- "They do meetups and recently did a cooking class. I live south of the lake, so I like that they generally call out what area of town the places that are being recommended, are located."
