Great Chinese food in the Lakeway area, really hit the spot after a day out on the lake. They do close in the middle of the day 3-4pm. We ordered a variety of dishes from the Chinese menu (hot pot with pork intestines, salt and pepper fillet fish, shrimp with snow pea leaves, smoked tea duck) – everything was delicious! The prices were pretty fair for the amount of food and they have quite a diverse selection of traditional items. It was not busy at all when we arrived, but it was close to their closing time. There is plenty of parking since they are located in a plaza. The noise level is low.

Food is below average at best. We have gotten sick a few times after eating their food, so we’ve decided to stop ordering from here.

Great service and lots of tasty food for a good price. I like that each meal comes with a soup to start with. Only eat 1/4 of our food because it was so much. Took the rest home for dinner. Restaurant was clean and beautiful to look at. Actual cloth napkins whitch was nice. Never really like the sticky feeling paper napkins feel when eating sesame chicken. Nice spot for date night.

This is a fantastic spot! I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and my friend had the Shrimp & Broccoli. He really enjoyed the Shrimp. I really liked the waitress– she was friendly and talkative. I would definitely recommend this place.

Everything is top notch. And when you order for delivery, they say “45min.. but it comes in 25min.” This place is awesome

Austin is not known for its Chinese food, and I’m picky, having lived in California. This place is top notch. I love their mu shu chicken.

The fried rice was tastless and soggy. Seems like it had been sitting in a pot for several days.

We love going here!! We usually try to get Tina because she is so nice and helpful and she is always so sweet to the kids! But we have had others who were also very nice and helpful. The food is excellent and the set up is very authentic. Love the beer and wine selection. We like to drink the plum wine or the TsingTao beer! Love this place and the people who work here!! I appreciate a place that really cares about the quality of the food!

Pao’s is one of our favorite Chinese places in the Austin area. I have been eating at Pao’s for 20 years or more, since they were in their downtown location in the 90’s. Our most recent visit to the Lakeway location was not their best performance, because they were understaffed and overwhelmed. Apparently their business has been booming since they re-opened recently.
