Mala chili

Best Chinese food in Austin. Period. This is the only restaurant my wife and I found to have authentic Chinese food in Austin Texas. Fresh, seasoned well, and cooked to perfection. We got the orange beef and mapo tofu w/pork. Both dishes were savory and reminded her of when she was growing up in China. This reminded me of what it is like to get great Chinese food outside of home (which I have not had ever since leaving the SF Bay Area).
Orange beef was perfectly cooked with the right amount of sweetness and crispiness. The mapo tofu soft, with just the right amount of spiciness.
My wife and I were blessed to have found this place and are definitely going back whenever we want some super delicious Chinese food to eat. Also, do yourself a favor and get a Purple Rice Drink Yogurt. Perfect way to end the meal with something a little sweet that you can take to go.

It was good. We had the dried fried fish, yu xiang eggplant and the mabo tofu. The fish was excellent, crispy, large pieces and not overfilled with a bunch of jalapenos\veggies like at China Family. Eggplant was great, had a sweet and little spicy taste by balancing out the other dishes that were salty. Mabo tofu is ok. It was a little too salty and small portion for the price, but we ate all of it as it was still good. Would go back as yomies yogurt was still on the same location as a nice dessert!

Dine in special-lobster 39.99 is nice but only “one” lobster not “two”! Kinda salty. Overall 3 stars

The food is very delicious. It is a bit pricey but worth it. The service was slow, every table was taken.
Three Gorges is a very similar restaurant, I am happy that we have now a delicious Chinese restaurant in Cedar Park.
