Dragon Gate By Phoenix

Wow, this is the best Chinese food in Austin. They start with the freshest ingredients and it shows. This is one of my favorite Chinese food places in Austin, it's right up there with T&S. They also have sushi and it's good, but Austin is full of them. Theirs is good, but I much prefer the Chinese.

The wait staff is always friendly and the place is perfectly clean.

It's a little more expensive than the cheap ones in town, but it's cheaper than high-end and the food is much better.

By far the BEST!…

Fantastic Chinese Cuisine plus WiFi service. This is an outstanding restaurant that specializes in healthy Chinese cuisine. My wife and I tumble across this restaurant after attending a wedding in the Austin area. We have dined at many Chinese restaurants in the Austin area and Dallas areas. We have been disappointed with most of these restaurants, however Dragon Gate by Phoenix was a welcome surprise. it was difficult for us to located in shopping center off Capital of Texas Hwy, but since our first dinning experience this is the only Chinese restaurant we have dined. We found the restaurant quiet, clean, friendly service, and most important NO MSG. we are healthy diners and often seek Chinese cuisine without MSG. In addition to the wonderful dinning experience, the restaurant offers WiFi services to its customers. During, my last visit I was able to enjoy a delicious healthy meal and continue working with limited interruption. I give this restaurant a definite THUMPS UP as does my wife.…

Great food without any hype. We ate here around 7 (Friday night) and it began to fill up as we were leaving. The server was really right-on. He frequented the table plenty enough times to keep us refilled on drinks, remove used dishes, and bring us whatever we needed.

I ordered the dumplings. Here, if you want the dumplings fried rather than steamed, then order the "potstickers"--apparently that is their code for fried dumplings. I've made these fresh many times and can tell that these were definitely made onsite, and were fresh. The endamame was a nice touch to the menu and we got a fairly large sized portion for $4! My husband is a sushi eater and thought the sushi was "good." My son loved his shrimp in lobster sauce---there were LOTS of shrimp and it was a huge portion so he got to take most of it home. My daughter's combination fried rice was enough to feed an army---but strangely enough, it was the quality and not the quantity that was impressive. The egg and meats in the rice (beef, shrimp, chicken) were noticeably fresh.

The ambiance was not typcial for a Chinese or Japanese place. There was the obligatory red paper lantern, but the place was definitely minimalist and tastefully done. I remember commenting on the table and chairs..that they were comfortable, modern, stylish, and clean. In fact, the whole place gives the diner the confidence that the food is handled properly just by the cleanliness of the dining areas.

We will defnitely be back!…

Worst. Place . Ever. I ordered their lunch bento box which, per menu , comes with california roll and miso soup. Food tasted very mediocre and they DID NOT GIVE ME MY DARN CALIFORNIA ROLL. I paid $15 for this.. Never again. Stay away from that place.…
