"Tianjin is in northern China, where noodles are the most important basic strength in the area, so the name – Noodle House. But we had no noodles, but ordered among other things the famous Tianjin rolls (Baozhi). The Baozhi is made from a flour dough and steamed with various fillings. The kind of Baozhi we had was filled with pork and cabbage. There are other restaurants that have Tianjin Baozhi, but in the Noodle House they have brought it as close to perfection as I am used to. The filling was right, pipping hot and with good subtle flavors. But the steamed dough balls, not too thick, still too thin, was just right. You just have to dive the bungalows with a little vinegar to improve the taste. Although I'm sure it's the ones of Tianjin who argue that they're not as good as they are at home. The Tianjin baozhi, with a dry bun, would probably be comparable to the Shanghai style steam dumplings, with a "nweet" tilting skin. Baozhi and dumplings will rarely be the same as they are from their hometowns, as pizza crust is difficult to duplicate. The key in the production of proper ham, dumplings and pizza crust is the water mixed with the dough. The basis of a good mouth feeling and texture is the right dough. Therefore, it is difficult to have a New York style pizza in Hong Kong or a real Tianjin Baozhi in Los Angeles. Also on the menu we had the wines hard cooked eggs – similar to tea, but made with wine. Cold sown, these eggs were a good change in the palate of the hot baozhi’s. Tianjin is also known for her water dumplings – one of my favorite things in the world. Mr. B suggested we have the fish water dumplings. I was hesitant, but drowned. I thought it was okay, nothing special. I would have preferred some kind of pig water dump or something. I didn't like the filling of fish from almost a paste-looking substance. In addition, we probably had some of the best onion pancakes around. Usually the onion pancakes are thicker and more oily. While the Noodle House is thinner and less oily. I thought I preferred to have more flaky I had similar Tianjin Baozhi from Shaomai, and this taste so much better."

"Why they’ve stopped serving the Pan Fried Noodle dish in the vegetarian menu is beyond me. That’s the whole reason I love eating there. Absolutely the best thing in the menu. Why take off a best seller? Makes no sense. Now they’re out of all the tofu dishes and changed the vegetarian egg rolls to another kind which is not near as good. They used to have the best ones I’ve ever had. Not sure what’s going on. But this is one of my favorite places to eat vegan food. Deeply disappointed they stopped selling what a regular customer who eats there several times a week would like to order. Also, the customer service has much room for improvement. Charging for soy sauce and hot sauce packets is Absolutely unheard of in the history of ordering takeout. Like literally I’ve never seen this Anywhere. If I spend 30+ dollars I should be able to ask for a few packets of sauce at no cost. Absolutely No One else in Austin claims shortages as a reason to charge. Terrible. Just give the customer what they want. It’s sort of absurd. Other than that. They have some of the best takeout in South Austin. Hope they get it together and keep offering great food, Especially that pan fried noodle dish very soon. If not they are going to lose a bunch of customers in my opinion. I tell everyone to order there. But not if they keep this up. Love you guys. Please bring back the pan fried noodles and other vegetarian dishes. Which are delicious. If someone eats there multiple times a week and tips every time. You should take care of those guests.but what do I know. Maybe running out of all the vegetarian dishes and charging folks for any more than one soy sauce packet is a good business model in your eyes. Seems like the recipe for going out of business to me. Hope y’all pull it together. I love eating there several times a week"
