In Short
The decor includes the usual Asian art, as well as tranquil aquariums and cleverly-placed mirrors. All lunch entrees come with the soup of the day, an appetizer, fried rice and a fortune cookie. The shredded beef Szechuan style is a popular choice. The Spicy Tangy scallops are spicy without being overpowering, and are served in such ample portions you'll have to ask for a doggie bag.

I live in Lakeway and my family and I have been going to Pao's for a long time, however the last few times the owner cant remember her name I was so mad, is so rude, I have never written a blog before but i had to vent this one out. This is my story please read. This is what happened not only is she very very rude, while my family and I were dinning in, one of the meals we ordered was wrong, when we addressed it with our waiteress the owner over heard and said to us and the waitress, we have to have it, if its wrong that is our fault, we can order another dish and pay for it but this dish will have to be paid for, even though its wrong! I had my children with me and didnt want to cause a scene. My family and I said this will be the last time we order from here. We made the mistake of ordering a take out many months after, my husband picked up the food, when he came home with the order one of the dishes was not what we ordered, we both thought here we go again!! I called and the waiter said he will have the one ready for us to pick up. when we got there (she) the owner said we have to bring the dish back to her so she can use it again she does not like to waste food!!!! We were so shocked that we said forget it, however she made one of the waiters follow us back to our house and pick up the dish he was so embarrassed. (She) the owner wanted the food back so she could re-use it for someone else!!! Thats my story, my family will never ever eat from there again, tell all your friends... Lesley J

The dim sum menu here is pretty limited. There are only a few small dishes and they aren't the ones you usually have during dim sum. I grew up in New York and I'm use to the screaming ladies with the carts going by. The service here is really friendly and the restaurant is filled with both Asian and Caucasian families. I think I'll go back for dinner sometime.

Coming from Taiwan 23 years ago, I am always looking for the most authentic Chinese food wherever I live or travel to. After living in Austin for 4 1/2 years, I have to say Pao's Manderin House satisfies me the most among all the Chinese restaurants that we have tried so far in the Austin vincinity. They provide pretty good selection of dishes that meet the different taste/perference that Caucasian and Chinese people are used to; therefore you can actaully see both Caucasian and Chinese in the restaurant whenever you walk in. Very friendly staff and manager.
