The BEST Chinese food in Austin! I've tried 100 of places in Texas, and the Chinese food has always been abysmal. This place is hands-down, the best. Before ordering, I looked at the yelp pictures and once I noticed the authentic homemade dumplings, I already know it was gonna be good and the food was Outstanding!
Got takeout from here the other night and me and my boyfriend loved it! I forgot to take pictures before we stared eating because we were so hungry so please know that the portions were good. Everything we ordered was really good, I loved the dumplings and the cream cheese puffs. The sweet and sour chicken was also good and I liked that they kept the sauce separate so that it will reheat better. Our food was ready pretty quick and service was great. The restaurant was pretty empty but I think they mainly do takeout here!
This was our first time to check out Fat Dragon. It is located in a strip. The interior and seating is pretty basic. They have self service for drinks and utensils. However, the staff did check on us occasionally as they brought out the dishes. We came in starving and unsure what we wanted so we ordered a large variety. The miso soup was flavorful, but on the salty side so make sure you have water on standby! The dan-dan noodles were OK and also very spicy. It was a good portion size though. We got the BBQ pork buns based on Yelp reviews. They were good, but like your typical buns. The only dish that was disappointing was the Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs. We were looking forward to these, but there lots of bones in small pieces and the flavor didn't hit the mark for us. Highlights: The Singapore noodles' portion was HUGE! They were also an excellent flavor that left you wanting more and more even past the point of being overly full. Would definitely go back for these. The Hong Kong style stir fried beef steak was excellent. Another dish that was so flavorful with a hefty serving. Even delicious as leftovers! I wouldn't mind coming back here when craving Chinese food. Now that we've tried a variety of dishes, I know what I'm getting next time (looking at you Singapore noodles!)
Just had lunch at Fat Dragon Chinese Food! Their soup dumplings were like little pockets of happiness, bursting with flavor. The egg rolls were crispy and addictive, and don't even get me started on the hot and sour soup - it was ! Service was minimal, but hey, they've got self-serve drink and utensil stations, so no biggie. Overall, Fat Dragon totally nailed it with their delicious dishes. If you're craving some awesome Chinese food, this is the spot to hit up!
