Old Thousand

The food is very good. The prices used to feel high now they just seem normal for East Austin. I like the salt pepper chicken most. Brisket fried rice was a miss for me. Xiao Mian is my wife’s nickname so no hate for that dish.

So far my favorite Chinese spot in Austin. Perfectly balanced dishes in a great atmosphere with reasonable prices and great service. I always get the Kung Pao chicken on my first visit to a Chinese place because it’s a great staple to compare. Theirs knocks it out of the park with great veggies and sauce and perfectly cooked chicken. We also had great service and a great cucumber salad that balanced out the heat of the meal so well. Would definitely recommend. We finished off with the donuts, and they transported me to my childhood of eating Chinese buffet food just to get the sugary goodness of donut balls. They taste exactly like your best memory of those sweets. In my opinion, it’s a cheaper and better spot for date night or just a dinner than Wu Chow! Check it out!

Great food, drinks, and value.

Coming from a Chinese person, the food was so awful—greasy, over salted, drowned in oil, and plainly not authentic. Also, the prices are insane for such low quality food. The rice and “wontons” were so undercooked and still firm. Truly disappointed.

Food is terrible. I don’t recognize any of the cooking style being authentic. Just tastes bad to me. I ordered 3 dishes, liked none.

My husband and I’s go-to Asian spot. It’s a tad bit pricey, and take-out quality can be inconsistent depending on the day of the week, but man is their veggie fried rice and mala fried chicken unbeatable. So good!

Great Brunch, don’t miss the bubble waffles, peanut butter French toast and cocktails!!
