China Spice Chinese Restaurant

Online ordering system is a SCAM! Do not order online from here! The contact phone number is also not in service so no way of contacting the actually restraint besides showing up to the physical location. Waste of time and money.

Called and asked if they served dim sum on a weekday. They said yes on the phone. Came and all they had was buffet or menu. Apparently they didn't understand our question. The place was huge. Looks like a place for weddings/receptions. The buffet was lacking in selection, and taste. Everything looked fresh, but not it was bland. Service was slow despite only having 6 customers including us! Not returning. So disappointed.

This restaurant has really good food if you order from the menu. My favorites are the Walnut shrimp, west lake beef soup, snow pea leaf with garlic.
They should bring back the dim sum, it's better than all the other dim sum in Austin. Bring that back and market it more aggressively!

Service was great. The food was awful! We came with the family and everything was old and ,what wasn’t old, tasted somewhat of chemicals. Especially the desserts. None of the serving spoons or tongs were switched out, so they were very dirty.when I asked for fresh food, they took forever to get it out. I do not recommend this place at all. They definitely need someone new in the back. Maybe someone who knows how to cook somewhat authentic Chinese food. Or at least someone who can cook more appetizing food that doesn’t make you sick afterwards. (💩💩)

The place has two sections, a buffet section and a dine-in full menu section. Readers need to be aware that most of the negative reviews are for the buffet section.
The buffet .. it is $8 for lunch, dinner, weekdays, and weekends. This is where most folks wrote negative reviews on. Folks, 15 dishes for $8, you get what you're paying for. If you're on a tight budget, this isn't too bad. One can also opt to order from the menu while at the buffet.
Full menu dine-in .. the is where most of the good/better reviews are about. Food is great. Dim sum is good, no cart though. In their early days, they

By far the worst buffet I’ve ever been too. The food was cold and old. The server never acknowledged me the entire time. She served all the other Mexican and white people there but not me. I literally had four plates full of food in front of me and she never came over. I tried all the food and it was all bad. Do not eat here. I was wondering why the buffet was $6.99. You get what you pay for I guess. I will never come back here again.

I really enjoy eating here , the bathrooms are clean and the hosts are very nice and the food is very good . The surprising thing to me is that the food dose not seem to have any MSG which I am sensitive to and alot of buffets have it . All in all my favorite Asian buffet in Austin.

The service is excellent , food is delicious, I like the location and eat here many times. Prices are decent and the portions are large.

Fair Warning. DO NOT try the buffet here. For 2 People it costs 22$ and they wanted us to tip before we even sat down. I tipped $5 being fair but once the waitress/hostess sat us down we never saw her again. The "buffet" was just one stand with stall food. We came in around 7pm and only spent about 10 minutes there and I should've asked for a refund. Though the dine-in part of the restaurant seemed fairly occupied so the menu must be nice. They should consider just closing the buffet and being just a dine-in.

Authentic Cantonese cuisine! They have variety choices from the menu. These three dishes are my favorites: Peking Duck, Crispy Flounder, and Hong Kong Style Baked Lobster. Haven't tried their Dim Sum menu yet, will come back next time on weekend to try it out.
