China Family Restaurant at Highland

The food and the customer service was great! I would highly recommend this place. The griddle beef is the perfect amount of spicy. Super flavorful and highly recommend you get it. There's so many items on the menus. So of you come here, please post your food so I know what to try next time.

Awesome! The food here is like no other Chinese I've had. The flavor of each dish was amazing. We tried several different dishes and all were great. The one that surprised me was the eggplant. I'm not really much on eggplant, but it was really good. So much flavor! The staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive. I hope to return the next time I'm in Austin.

The plates can easily be shared with the table in a dining style that reminds me of Din Ho and other Chinese family dining style restaurants. A pot of steamed rice for the table is served along side the food on platters. The menu is split into 2 sections with "newbies", the typical American Chinese dishes like sesame chicken, and "foodies" with authentic Chinese dishes. The plates have a decent serving of food to eat as a single serving or be shared. Most dishes are in the $11-15 range. The server got very busy but still stayed on top of everything. She was very friendly and frequently refilled my water despite being the only server in the front of house to run food, seat customers, wait on tables, and handle phone orders. The building may not look like much but be prepared to be surprised by the service and food. I'll certainly be making this a regular spot.

Flavor, flavor, flavor! This place is legit. I love that they have a menu for newbies who want traditional fare and foodies who want to try more authentic dishes. Rarely do I see a staff more invested in the customer experience, down to bringing me specialty tea. The portions are large and keep well for leftovers. I will be returning often!
