Sweet Chive (of mine); SORRY had to do it...lol Went to Christmas 2025 lunch here with a friend. Great service, food was off the charts. A bit tangy (spicy) for me but no complaints, just delicious. Portions were generous too. Casual to fancy, if you want. Would be a great place for date night or during the day....

Can't recommend Sweet Chive enough! The entire team is so kind, helpful, and warm. I've eaten at SC numerous times and each experience is better than the last! The owner is one of the kindest people I've met. Perfect spot for a date, a cozy friend hang, or a solo dinner to treat yourself (:

The one in the bowl, the SPICY WONTON (the one in the bowl) was literally THE BEST I've ever had and I've had some all across the country. The dumplings and their sauce is superb as well but MY GOD, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH of that spicy wonton dish. 1000% RECOMMEND. My taste buds were bursting with euphoria on every bite.

The BEST sushi for a casual dinner, cozy vibes that are chill (not influencer ruined with crowds). The atmosphere is casual but warm like a coffee shop, and the sushi is better than any of the more high-end typical suspects (uchi and co.). The Hollyhood roll is unbelievable. Spicy chili wontons are the owners homemade family recipe and you can actually by the chili crisps in oil from them by the mason jar. And the eggplant stuff with pork is insane good.

Modern looking restaurant with free parking. Very specialized Taiwanese menu with a lot of choices to choose from. Out of the dishes that we ordered, the pork jian jiou & the pork belly with purple rice stood out to me the most. The pork jian jiou was dough was crispy and airy at the same time. The pork belly was super tender and the purple rice had a fun chew to it. All dishes were very shareable and a good place for a quick bite to eat. Friendly staff and the owner had time to come out and greet her customers.

This little gem is truly something special! 🌟 A small, family-owned restaurant with a Taiwanese-inspired menu with hints of Japanese influence, it’s clear that every dish is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a whole lot of care. The food is both flavorful and nourishing — you can really taste the difference in every bite. The staff are so kind and welcoming, treating you more like a guest in their home than just another customer. The atmosphere is clean, warm, and inviting, making it the kind of place you want to linger and enjoy. We finished our food and then just sat to talk, spoke with the family/staff about the artwork on the walls being from children in the local school district. One thing I especially love is their commitment to being eco-conscious — they offer 10% off if you order takeout and bring your own containers! It’s so refreshing to see a business not only serving up incredible food but also caring about the community and the environment. I envision being a little under the weather, needing soup and bringing my bowl to mom’s kitchen. My partner enjoyed the food and the beer selection, apparently Sapporo is a very popular beer where he was stationed in Korea and seeing it here brought him joy and made his meal feel complete. Highly recommend to anyone who loves fresh, thoughtfully prepared meals and wants to support a family business that pours their heart into everything they do.

A friend recommended this restaurant as delicious, open late, and dog friendly! It surpassed expectations! Only one small table outside on front stoop for outdoor (dog friendly) dining. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and attentive. Yes, they provided a water dish for the dog! The food was excellent - I had the beef clay pot, such delicious flavor combination! I asked the server to surprise me with her favorite style of dumplings, they were a combination of soft and crunchy! The chilled spicy noodles with cucumber and chicken tasted even better after the flavors marinated for a couple days (in my fridge)! I can’t wait to go back and try more of their dumpling styles and other menu items! The server/bar tender/cashier Raven was super nice, friendly, knowledgeable, and speedy with her service! Compliments to the chefs!

I was in town for a conference downtown and stopped in for dinner. Very clean and welcoming atmosphere. Had the beef noodle soup which was outstanding. You could tell it was made with care and well seasoned. Enjoyed it so much, I stopped in again for lunch on my way to the airport. Had the beef clay pot dish and it, too, was awesome. Very fresh with high quality ingredients. I don’t write many reviews but happy to write this. The food was great, owners friendly and welcoming. It is a small, family-run business that is definitely worth the trip!

We found this restaurant while traveling in Austin and it is SUCH A GEM!! The food is absolutely delicious, everyone was so nice, and the owner Phoenix was the nourishing mother we all need. Highly recommend Sweet Chive, make sure you stop by!

i won’t lie, i was craving one thing, spicy chili wontons…and sweet chive absolutely delivered! but then i ordered other things and they just kept knocking it out of the park. their cucumber cold noodles were perfect, and the scallion pancakes were cooked to perfection. the service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean. definitely will be back to try the other items on the menu!

Delicious! They claim Japanese and Taiwanese, but it’s kind of an Asian varietal! The handmade dumplings and wontons are ridiculously delicious. The sushi is fresh and tasty. The beef claypot was good but it had very little beef only 6 pieces with lots of carrots and mushrooms. Our service was awesome. I can’t wait to go back. The prices were reasonable for the quality.

Food is excellent, but several times I've been here at normal peak hours and they had an extremely noticeable back up, both from service/table check-ins and the kitchen output speed. Hopefully they can figure out a way to get a bit more hustle going... It doesn't feel like they can handle more than a few tables right now. They don't seem to have capacity to check on tables and ask them if they want another drink while they wait an hour, or more, for some dumplings or sushi. I want to support this as a locally/non-corporate owned business, so I hope they can improve this.

They open til midnight! My first takeout order is meat sauce noodle and chive pancake. the meat sauce is good, I love the shredded carrots, cucumber and bell peppers and CILANTRO 💚 but the noodles are soggy and wayyyyy overcooked. I know they overcook it since I ate it immediately at the back of the parking lot and it couldn’t possibly be because I didn’t eat it right away and let it steamed in the togo container. Maybe it’s because I ordered takeout at 11:47pm. The last order can be a blooper? The chive pancake is alright. They deep fry it, which isn’t quite traditional. All in all I am out $27 dollars and not very satisfied. But….. I might recuperate my disappointment and come back later for their pork rice, since the meat sauce is pretty good and tastes like home :) so maybe their rice dishes and dumplings will taste like home too~

Originally from Taiwan, and was exited about trying this Taiwanese restaurant while visiting Austin, TX. It was quite a bit overpriced and in addition, the taste is quite disappointing. 😞 Charging $13 for 3 pieces of "large chip with topping" is pretty unimaginable (Asian Nachos). 😬 The Lu Rou Fan was so salty (台語:死鹹) at $15 without even half of 滷蛋 (soy braised egg). 🥲 The pork Pan-fried dumpling is decent which tasted home made, although the skin is a bit thicker than expected. The Pork Belly noodle soup is also acceptable, due to the beef noodle soup flavor used, although the noodles is a bit overcooked and the sour cabbage is not sour but very salty. Overall, quite a bit sadden by the experience, however, if people do not know what authentic Taiwanese food tasted like, then that explains the Google review star values we saw. 🥹

I love Asian food and was really excited to try this place but I thought the food was incredibly under-seasoned and bland, and the service could’ve been better. The best part was the shrimp chips, which my mom often makes at home. I was disappointed you only get 6 given these take seconds to make and they cost nearly nothing. I love egg drop soup and the one here is water with egg in it. The soup wasn’t properly heated up either so the top of the soup was really hot but the middle and bottom was room temp, so eating it was incredibly unpleasant. We didn’t touch it at all. If the server had ever come around or asked us about it, I would’ve have told him. The scallion pancakes were fine. The sauce you dip it in really saves that dish. The noodle dish was again, so bland. We took the sauce for the scallion pancakes and added it to the noodles to try and give it flavour. We also asked for their homemade chili dip to try and make the dish enjoyable. The mushrooms were seasoned well but if you only got noodle in your bite, it truly tasted like hot mush. Our waiter didn’t come check on us at all during our meal. There was a larger table that he seemed busy with. The table beside us also seemed to be a friend of the staff so they were also getting additional attention, which just exasperated the lack of service for us. Overall, the food and service wasn’t good enough to make me a returning customer.
