Before I started making it myself, I used to eat lunch a lot at Twin Lion at Braker/183. They call it "wonderful chicken".

Winner. They have about 100 other dishes that are simply amazing. Usually about 50/50 on Asians to non-Asians in there. Always a good sign.

Why yes. Yes I am.

I like 888 on Oltorf quite a bit. But I had some general Tso's in New Orleans of all places that was by far the best I've ever had.

I'll also throw the Fire Bowl Cafe in the mix for anyone down south. They offer it in all white meat that is the shizz.

Asia Cafe is simply the best authenthic Chinese food in Austin. Good people and good portions.

I used to eat there a lot as of a month ago. But I kept getting random bad chunks of chicken that were horrible tasting...bad texture & flavor (supposed to be all white meat). The sauce was good though. They also over cook their chicken often.

FYI, Twin lion is also all white meat.

Interesting, will have to give 888 a try sometime. I work out that way off of Ben White, so that in in the area, driven by there many times but never stopped in.

When I don't go to Asia market, this is my next stop. Damn good and authentic as you can get. I pointed at the board in Chinese and took my chances on one drunk night. Duck web. Never doing that again, but it really is a great place.

Love this place and their General Tso's chicken. Also love their wonton soup. Probably never would have even noticed it tucked away back there in the corner had a friend not taken me one evening. Now it's my go to restaurant for Chinese. Never been to the other places mentioned here so they may be better, but I like Fortune Garden a lot.

Another recommendation for 888. Definitely worth a try.

If anyone is in the Pflugerville area there's a new restaurant called Oriental Kitchen off Grand Ave. It's our new favorite Chinese restaurant. It's amazing.
