Best Food , not much service but not needed still super friendly and the Gentleman behind the Register always gives my Husband Military discount even though they done actually offer it. I have tried so many different dishes and anything i tried has been super good, my daughter loved it when i took her as well. It is worth the drive from Killeen for sure. be there early it fills up quick!!!

I've only been here once and it's already one of my top favorite place in Austin! I've heard different people telling me how great this is and finally got to try this place with my friends during my weekend visit. She is obsessed with this peppercorn jumping fish dish from here. We ordered: 1. Chicken dumpling 7/10 2. Peppercorn jumping fish 11/10 (amazing) 3. Cold appetizer - spicy pork belly 8/10 4. Mapo tofu 9/10 I'm still thinking about how amazing the jumping fish dish is. If you like spicy and seafood, that is a dish you cannot miss. Now I'm obsessed with the dish as well. I really like the cold pork belly appetizer as well. The mapo tofu is delicious but don't expect to have large chunks of pork - the pork pieces are minced to where it can be mistaken as shallot pieces. I love how all the dishes are mala spicy but it isn't so spicy where you can't eat it without mouth burning. This place is quite popular and does not have that many seating. There is a link you have to scan to put yourself on waitlist and they will text you when your seat is available. Expect a 30+ minute wait for an early weekend dinner! The online system will always tell you what the wait time is before you put yourself in line. We saw the wait when up to 2hrs as well. Can't wait to be back again every time I come back to Austin!

This is hands down the best Chinese food in Austin. I love that the restaurant has no frills and lets the food do the talking. Most ATX restaurants over-index on the ambience and cocktails but not here. The restaurant is located in a strip mall (which is convenient if you want to walk across and get boba or ice cream for dessert). Once you walk in, you get seated and order at the counter. They have to go containers and utensils all self-service. Food comes out fast and honestly everything we had was delicious. The highlights being the jumping fish, green beans, and the chongqing malaa chicken. Disclaimer: everything we got was very spicy and the malaa spice is no joke! You'll walk out with numb all over but with a smile and full stomach.

I really like this place. I was trying to decide where to eat on a Sunday morning and wanted it to be tasty for everyone's palate. Plenty of parking but it is a busy center so beware of that. The space inside isn't huge but it isn't really small. There are about 15 tables. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. We orders so much because I wanted to try everything! We had the spicy wanton soup, jumping fish, chicken with broccoli, spring onion and lamb, egg plant, green beans, ma pa tofu, They give you a water carafe and small water cups (more like hot tea cups). Napkins and chopsticks are on the table, but if you need a fork or spoon you need to get it at the other counter that also has the Togo boxes. Can't wait to come back!

Ambiance is your casual small dining room. Service is good, as the gentleman who could be the owner is friendly. Food is decent. My husband and son love the cumin Lamb. We all like the jumping fish. It is thinly sliced and very tender. For some people who like firmer texture for their fish, might not like it as much as we do. However, for the Spicy boneless fried chicken, this is by far the worst we have had. They are fried, cut in half to smaller pieces, and refried. The coating is very hard. Chicken is dry. Bamboo house has one of the best of this dish.

A friend of mine recommended this place while I am here in Austin, so I decided to check it out. Simple Ambiance few table, we got there exactly at 5pm on a Wednesday, by 6:30 there was a line to order and to be seated! We sat down, looked at the menu and walked up to the counter ordered and paid, they would bring the food to you. We ordered the chicken pot stickers very yummy, and the dipping sauce was out of this world yummy and packed with flavors. We ordered the chicken eggrolls very yummy as well, perfect starter. For our main course we ordered the "Jumping Fish" and boy the description was on point, your pallet just jumps in joy , the fish melts in your mouth, you wouldn't even think it's fish it was so fresh, it's perfect with steam white rice my God it was so good, the perfect spice DRFINATLY RECOMMENDED, I'll be back just for that! We ordered the Mongolian Beef, it was good, the green beans were amazing, and we also ordered the veggies fried rice was amazing as well. Well done, I'll be back on my next trip to try more items. Thank you!

Wow! House of Three Gorges is THE spot for authentic Sichuan cuisine in Austin! If there's a wait, just trust me that the food is well worth it... you can't beat the flavors, large portion sizes, and reasonable prices. As soon as I finished my meal, I was thinking about when I could come back to try more dishes. FAST FACTS: * Parking - Free parking lot available in and around the strip center * Reservations - No... first come, first serve but worth the wait! * Online ordering - Pick up and delivery available through Uber Eats and Doordash * Closed on Mondays and from 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm on Tuesday through Sunday * Level of spice is adjustable for most items SERVICE - Once you get seated at a table, you go up to the counter to order. The workers were all very accommodating and did a great job making sure we had water throughout the meal. PRICING - The total was $38.95 after tax but before tip for a dry pot shrimp ($18.99) and a dry pot spicy pork intestines ($16.99). I think the pricing was reasonable for the HUGE portion size and quality of ingredients! DRY POT SHRIMP (9/10) - Massive portion size! The shrimp were cooked perfectly (they come with the tail on) as were the mixed vegetables. I got this with a medium spice level and it was perfect... your lips get that tingly feeling without it being too much. I'd order this again! DRY POT SPICY PORK INTESTINES (9/10) - Just like the shrimp dry pot, the portion size is huge and the medium spice level was perfect for our taste. The pork intestines were tender and packed with flavor! I'd order this again! If you're looking for Sichuan cuisine in Austin, House of Three Gorges is your spot! It's super casual but the food they cook is outstanding. I'd recommend it to others!

This is the best Chinese food I've had so far in the Austin area. It's a small restaurant, but the wait time is short. We had the vegetable egg rolls, spicy wonton soup, chicken lo mein, beef and broccoli and general Tsos. Was this far too much food for 3 people? Yes, but it was so worth it. Huge portions, cheap prices. Our personal favorites were the egg rolls and the lo mein. You really can't beat this place!

The House of Three Gorges has topped my list for best Sichuan restaurants-- period. For those unfamiliar with Sichuan cuisine, Sichuan food is a sub-category of Chinese food that originates from the Sichuan Province located in Southwestern China. Sichuan cuisine is prolific for its flavorful and spicy peppercorns, which give an intense & numbing sensation to the mouth. In other words, Sichuan cuisine is not for the faint of heart! My highly recommended go-tos: Pork Wonton in Spicy Soup, Jumping Fish, Mapo Tofu, and Sichuan Dry Stir Fried Chicken
