Twin Lion Chinese - Austin

I would go out of my way to come to this part of Austin for this restaurant for the past 15 years. I have not visited for some time, but I'm guessing it's new management now. The sesame chicken is no longer crispy and saucy-sweet. It's light breading is soft and tastes like a chain restaurant down the street. It's just ok, but not worth making a special trip for anymore.

Great food and portions at reasonable prices. The menu is so well put together. The ambiance transports you although sometimes they play modern radio music. The staff is very attentive and pleasant. I am glad this place is near my neighborhood!

Edit: Ate here all the time over the past 20 years. Recently they changed ownership and the food changed with it. They used to have a very crispy sesame chicken that was the best in Austin, Now it’s basically what you find at any Chinese restaurant. Sad to see it has changed after being a staple in north Austin for the last 20+ years. Why not keep the original recipes???

I don't usually take the time to rate places, but Twin Lion is hands down the best Chinese Take out food in Austin. Big portions and it's delicious. A1 fasho. Curry combination rice with the wonderful chicken.

Great people. Great prices. The Lion and Dragon fight is great as well as the egg drop soup. Getting there for lunch on the weekend is even better.
