Lotus And Cleaver - Austin

We really love this restaurant. The interior is snug yet inviting, and it’s clean and cozy. The food comes quickly and is reasonably priced for the area. Their dumplings to go are fantastic, and the cocktails are great too. The soup dumplings are a must-try! The sampler is delightful, and the fried dishes are crispy and light. I personally enjoy getting lo mein over fried rice. Overall, we absolutely adore this place!

Upon entering, my family and I were left to seat ourselves, and not a single staff member greeted us. There was no friendly “Hello, how are you?” or offer to sit wherever we liked. Instead, we placed our orders online, which made me question the state of customer service and the usual interactions between customers and waitstaff. I tried the chicken dumplings, but they were the worst I've ever had. Coming from the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm used to authentic Asian cuisine, so my expectations may have been unreasonably high. I only managed to eat a couple before leaving the rest untouched. I settled my bill online and left, and I can confidently say I won't be returning.

We had a great time dining here with a group of eight. It's entirely self-service, which worked well for us. After reading some reviews, it seems we were fortunate because we encountered no issues and had a pleasant experience overall. I would definitely return to sample a different dish!

Visited a few times, they have decent food for the prices and we love sitting outside on their patio when the weather is really nice. My favorite thing on the menu isn?t actually the dumplings but the noodles!

We had a drinks and the fried rice. The fried rice is very pricey when the only thing in it are scallions and egg plus whichever protein you want at an additional charge. It was too salty as well. The drink was good. But I didn?t find anything amazing aboutthis place.
