    It was so loud we couldn't hear a conversation at our own table. We were a party of 17. There was only 1 waiter for most of the restaurant. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks. An absolutely no no no!

    We live in DFW but always try to make a stop here when we visit Austin. The decor/vide is great, and I've never ordered something we didn't like.

    Old Thousand is a standout — their Mala Fried Chicken packs a punch, and the Brisket Fried Rice (with Chinese sausage) is a creative, hearty twist you won’t forget. I also loved the Jalapeño Popper Rangoons and their Salt & Pepper Shrimp — crispy, vibrant, and just the right amount of heat. The ambiance balances vintage Chinese takeout nostalgia with modern flair (plush booths, warm lighting, hip hop playing softly in the background), and the staff were enthusiastic and eager to help with the menu. It’s one of those places where you want to linger and try everything next time.

    Came here with a large group! The atmosphere was really cool! I felt like I wasn’t in Austin for the entire moment I was there. It gives east coast New York kinda vibes. With the lighting, and the energy! The smells of the kitchen, the sounds of the hot WOK.. pretty cool spot! The drinks were awesome, the food is really REALLY good! Like it’s FANTASTIC. They have a cool bar with plenty of seating, and the restaurant has awesome decor throughout. The staff seems really nice and chill as well. They took care of all of our needs, as we were rolling like 12 deep that evening.
