Asia Cafe

Wonderful fresh Chinese food . Healthy comfort dish- Jade Chicken . Lot's of bang for the buck and I always have yummy leftovers to take home, a big plus. Jade Chicken is GF, a white sauce , no soy.

The food here is legit. Authentic Szechuan cuisine from Southwest China. This isn't your traditional Chinese sit-down restaurant . You head to the front order your food then they call your order number

Veggie soup with tofu very yummy. It's only $5 and u get a huge bowl! Veggie stir fry noodles are phenomenal!!! Just looking around they have some really good dishes that I can't wait to try next time

Love this little place. Hidden in a strip mall , if you blink you'll be missing some of Austin's best Chinese goodness. Everyone talks about the Spicy Fish which is great but my fave is General Tso's !!

There is no maybe... this is DEFINITELY the best Chinese in Austin. Everyone is right about the Spicy Fish ... there are no words for how delicious. All the tofu dishes so far have been awesome.

Lots of vegetarian options , large portions for ALL dishes. Stir fried pea leaves are awesome, but best as a side. Since the portion is large, split it with a friend and get another entree too.

Their stir fried noodles were really tasty. For the amount of people that were ordering in a peak Friday night, the food came out fairly quick. I would like to test other plates.

Spicy lamb dishes are great here. A bit of a kick. Good tables to sit down and have a nice meal with 10 people.

Authentic Chinese food served at a great price, get the boiled dumplings .

Ridiculously authentic Sichuan cuisine . Favorites include the spicy fish and chicken in XO sauce , and we love the happy chaos of the perpetually packed dining room. Read more

Everything we order here is awesome and filled with high quality ingredients cooked to perfection. Normally I'm not apt to gush, but this place deserves it!!!!! ❤

Amazing food and very fast. Don’t have to wait for the food forever. Love their water spinach and fried rice .

It's confusing when you first arrive, but you order at the very back. They have a lot of tofu options, and the sesame tofu was amazing! I only had to wait 10 minutes.

Pan fired dumplings are amazing. Huge portions for around $10 each, enough to share. Don't expect a relaxing experience though, it's always quite loud and family friendly .

Very authentic yummy food. No real service and restaurant is pretty bare bones, but it's totally worth it. The spicy potstickers are awesome!

Spicy dishes were barely spicy (spicy fish filet and mapo doufu.) if you're white, you may have to make extra clear that you actually want it spicy .

Very possibly Austin's worst kept secret, Asia Cafe is a tiny Szechuan restaurant popular among chefs and civilians alike. Some of the most best Chinese in the city . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

This place use to be Austin's best kept secret. Now it gets a little crowded at times. Great place for cheap authentic Chinese Cooking!! You order at the counter and they call your number when done

Sure, the spicy fish fillet is good, but try the shredded pork with chili (I posted a picture of it here). This dish will knock you on your ass with spiciness .

If you are looking for authentic Asian food in North Austin look no further. This place is amazing!!

Everything is good. If you get here early you can get a private room off to the side for your group and eat family style

Gluten free options are OK, but not more than that. The regular Chinese food is quite spicy and tasty. Recommended

Dry wok beef is so good! Love it but a lot of food so be hungry!

Big servings , tasty food! Recommended

Best fish dish I've ever had! ❤️ this place ????

Big servings , tasty food! Recommend

If you like lamb , get the Hot and Spicy Lamb , it is my go to dish here! Delicious!

I personally love their orange chicken and if you don't believe me try it yourself it's amazing

Cumin beef is VERY spicy , but excellent if you can handle it. Easily Austin's best Chinese restaurant , btw.

Spicy fish fillet , crispy duck , shrimp and fish with speci sauce, chong qing chicken

Listened to all the suggestions for the spicy fish filet and was not disappointed. Delicious and spicy , made me sweat!

Try the chicken in XO sauce . It has plenty of veggies and strips of grilled chicken .

Authentic Chinese food , mostly szechuan. Pretty much all of it is good! Ambiance lacking though.

Come here with at least 8 people. Share everything.

The food is great. Try the salt and pepper fish .

Best sichuanese in town . Spicy fish , sesame dumplings , chong Ching chicken rule.

of course the spicy fish , but shredded duck in XO sauce is a close 2nd

Spicy fish fillet , mapo tofu , teppan black pepper beef , drunken chicken . Just get them!

You want the spicy fish filet . Anything else is beside the point.

Get the lamb hotpot , hot and spicy fish , and hot and spicy lamb

Perfect for brunch !

Twice cooked fish has just enough spice, and the fish has a great flavor.

Tons of food. Very good flavors

Try their mung bean/rice jelly and mapu tofu

Make sure you get the spicy fish and an order of the green beans

Watch out for the little peppercorns ! They've got a really sharp taste to them. One worker there told me that they're a main ingredient in most meals and that "you should try and avoid them."

Listen to the gentleman call out your order number in both Chinese and English
