Asia Cafe, Spicewood Springs Rd., Austin

Editors: Asia Cafe is noteworthy. This is a favorite among the staff. We would go so far as to say that Asia Cafe is so good, it has to be eaten to be believed. It is remarkably authentic, and is consistently populated by Chinese residents of our community.

Asia Cafe was included on CNN Travel review of 50 Best Chinese Restaurants in the US, at number 41–not bad for a restaurant that started as a counter at the back of a market (and yes, we’ve been eating here since the early days). Beware, some of the food is very spicy, even by Texas standards. Rarely do I give this warning: the food is so good, you will tend to overeat.

Try the Fish and Fan Tail Shrimp in Wild Pepper Sauce, pictured below, along with Garlic Tofu and Chicken in Curry Sauce:
