Monica Partier: Full bar, great Jasmine tea and the only authentic dim sum, this side of the Mississippi ,only on Sunday funday
Kassie McCright: Love this place! Very friendly wait staff and delicious food. Love the spider rolls.
Austin Chronicle: Makes a serious bid at best dim sum in town. The ambiance ain't bad, either – all dark wood and lacquer, with red linen table settings and loads of Chinese decorative accents. Read more.

Bubble Tea Shop · West University · 29 tips and reviews
Jonathan L: The Jasmine Green Milk Tea is an absolute staple for me! This is a popular hang out for foreign Chinese students, so it's a great place to meet Chinese-speakers. There's also free wifi.
Elynn Lee: I usually get the lychee black tea or regular black tea. They also have good milk teas and slushies. For food, I like the veggie eggrolls, mushroom tofu with pork and rice, and potstickers.
Paul Terry Walhus: don't ask for tapioca pudding, or do

Vietnamese Restaurant · Bouldin Creek · 173 tips and reviews
Visit Austin: With a special menu dedicated to dessert and the cocktails that love them, this south side Vietnamese French fusion café is the perfect spot for your girls night out, special dinner date or brunch. Read more.
Austin Chronicle: Vietnamese cuisine made with grass-fed meats, pastured eggs, local organic produce, and seafood fresh from the Gulf makes us happy, but not as happy as the dreamy drip coffee served iced or hot.
Travel + Leisure: "Vietnamese with a French accent" is a good description of Elizabeth Street Café. Start with an order of pork buns before digging in to a bowl of pho. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c

Courtney Johnson: Spinach dumplings, pad Thai, and Thai tea.. Yumm!
