How did I not know this existed until now? What a unique experience—literally dining in the prep kitchen that supplies all the Ling restaurants in Austin. Not only was the chef there along with her husband, but we also got to hear directly from her about how the menu is inspired by her grandmother’s recipes and the food the owner grew up eating. The presentation of each dish was incredibly thoughtful, and the flavors were just as impressive. The Wagyu was outstanding, and how often do you get to try jellyfish, duck tongue, and sea cucumber all in one evening? The service was exceptional, making the entire night feel even more special. An unforgettable dining experience!

My beloved husband treated me to a special dinner here to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary, and I have to say, it was a fantastic and unforgettable experience. We were welcomed warmly, and the entire evening felt memorable from start to finish. This restaurant offers a unique “East meets West” experience—combining top-notch Eastern cuisine with five-star Western-style service. We had the privilege of speaking with the owner, which was an honor. It was fascinating to learn about the “private dining experience” concept behind the kitchen. The surprises kept coming throughout the night. They brought out a roasted pig and invited us to get up close and enjoy it while watching the chef prepare dishes for us—such a fun and interactive experience. I really appreciated the atmosphere here, especially the attention to detail. The chinaware, forks, and spoons were replaced with each new course, and I loved how they took care of every little detail, from folding the napkins when we left the table to the decor around us. The only small downside, in my personal opinion, was that the dining area was located inside the kitchen, surrounded by kitchen equipment, which made the space feel a bit less organized. But overall, it was a beautiful and memorable evening.

Ordered delivery through Uber Eats from Din Ho Chinese BBQ, I got the Soy Sauce Chicken and Egg Fried Rice, and both were fantastic. The Soy Sauce Chicken was incredibly flavorful—tender, juicy, and soaked in that rich, savory soy glaze that makes you want to lick the container. You could tell it was freshly made, not overly salty like some places. The Egg Fried Rice was the perfect match—light, fluffy, with just the right amount of egg and seasoning. It tasted like it came straight off a wok. Delivery was smooth, food arrived hot, and portions were generous. Din Ho never misses. Highly recommend when you’re craving some solid Chinese food at home!

This place is a solid find! The space is spacious, clean, and has a cool vibe with fresh seafood tanks in the back—definitely adds a touch of authenticity. It’s set up family-style with those big round banquet tables, perfect for groups or a lively dinner with friends. Came here for Chinese New Year dinner. Service was on point—super fast, both with taking our order and getting the food out. And let’s talk portions: they don’t skimp! Everything’s served in generous sizes, so you’ll definitely leave satisfied. Presentation-wise, the dishes are a feast for the eyes. Taste-wise, it was a bit of a mixed bag for me. The roasted duck and pork belly were decent but didn’t quite hit the mark flavor-wise—maybe needed a bit more seasoning. That said, the eggplant clay pot was *chef’s kiss*—absolutely delicious. The chow fun was solid, and the fried fish? Oh man, that was a standout—crispy, flavorful, and totally dee-licious! Overall, this is a pretty great spot for Chinese food in Austin. Not everything wowed me, but there’s enough here to make it worth a visit, especially if you’re craving some hearty, shareable dishes. 🥢🫖🍚🧧

I’ve been a loyal customer since 2016, and this place never misses. The pig ears are a personal favorite—bursting with flavor and perfectly done. The scallion cake is a must-try: crispy, flaky, and addictive. I have to say i order pig ears whenever am here, has tried so many places no restaurant can compete to this. They’re also famous for their hand-pulled noodles. I remember chatting with the owner years ago—she told me they carefully select their wheat flour and make everything with heart, no added chemicals. You can truly taste the care in every bite.

The employees are kind and efficient! Helped recommend some delicious soup dumplings. We'd heard of this place and finally have it a go and we're happy we did. Noodles are home made and every cut of beef from the shank in the spicy beef noodle to the brisket to the thin sliced appetizer served with chili oil was incredible and cooked perfect. We'll be back many times and can't wait to try the beef scallion pancake burritos and pan fried dumplings. I recommend the beef slice with chili oil and scallion pancakes as appetizers as well as any soup dumplings!

Such delicious food. Here’s what you MUST order: jumping fish + cumin beef. Honorable mentions are the salt and pepper pork, wonton soup, and egg plant. Oh and the fried rice is great. You can’t go wrong everything is good. Restaurant is always busy so save a few minutes to wait in line. Owners are really nice. Service is wonderful. A proper Chinese restaurant that Austin really needed.

I really enjoyed the eggplant in garlic chili sauce! We also got the dry Sichuan chicken, which was fried perfectly and not greasy at all. 😊 It was nice to have a saucy dish like the eggplant to complement the fried chicken. We got two entrees for two people, and it filled us up completely. We got there at 5pm, and it started getting busy around 5:30pm.
