China Family Restaurant at Highland

I just love a good hole in the wall food place and that’s what China Family is. I was finally convinced to try this place out; don’t let the exterior push you away! As someone who grew up eating Chinese food this place absolutely blows me away! I haven’t found a perfect 10/10 hot and sour soup in Austin but I think this place is it (not oily and actually spicy). Portions are generous and everything served family style. I’ll be back!!

China family has been our go to Chinese restaurant in Austin since they opened their first location. This location is the best one now. It’s the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Austin. More similar to Chinese food in NYC or California. We love the Sichuan chicken and the Chongqing spicy chicken! So good! ( skip the Chinese-American dishes)

Absolutely Disappointing – Don’t Waste Your Time or Money! This place was a complete disaster from start to finish. The food was downright awful! Everything was unbearably salty to the point where it was inedible. We kindly informed the server, hoping for a fix, but the replacement dish wasn’t any better—it was still ridiculously salty and came with a measly 5-6 shrimp. To top it off, the griddle-cooked cauliflower was no different—just another over-salted mess. It’s clear that they don’t taste their food before serving it. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this place altogether!

Both locations are so great. The service was great, the food came out hot and fast. They were very friendly and everything is so good. Such a great Austin gem.

Great little place. Plenty food for the price. I had the best Crab Rangoon. Usually it’s very little filling in an overcooked wrap. These were flavorful, stuffed and perfectly cooked.
