I love the consistency of the food and friendliness of the staff at the HIGHLAND location. Small restaurant but big on taste! My new favorite dish....The fish in chili sauce. If you want to know what h.e.l.l. might taste like and you have the desire for a newly formed stomach ulcer, this is a must!! A traditional dish that is SO GOOD!!! No more beef and broccoli for me. I'm putting in my big girl pants now.

China Family Restaurant states on their sign that they have the most authentic Szechuan cuisine in Austin so I had to give it a try. There was a good mix of Chinese people and other backgrounds so you know it's gonna be good. The portions are large and definitely shareable, unless you want leftovers. : ) I will be back to China family.

Food: crab rangoons were nice and hot but something about the wonton wrapper didn't taste fresh. The filling was good. The spicy chicken was great, good seasoning, and I love that it didn't have any bones so it was very easy to eat. Salt and pepper shrimp was big in size but lacking a little bit of salt. Mapo tofu could be spicier but the flavor was good. I will definitely be coming back, our waiter was also very attentive and kind.

Don't judge a book by its cover! While the exterior of the restaurant is quite humble, they offer such flavorful meals! I got the chonqing chicken ($17) and it was spicy, crispy, and delicious! It can easily be up to 2-3 meals.

The food is amazing, very authentic, and comes with a lot of flavor. If you like spicy food, for sure PLEAse try Beef in Chili Oil. I love that dish so much that when I pack my to-go boxes, I ask for soup containers and cook other food in the chili oil. Griddle griddle-cooked lamb was decent, and also spicy, which I liked. There's mushroom, broccoli, cauliflower, wood-ear, and lotus root in the dish. Both meats were very tender. These dishes come with white rice for the table. They were very friendly, came to refill water often, and checked if we liked the dishes. The decorations inside the restaurant are very pretty, I just wish the table/chairs could be updated to a more contemporary style.

Great authentic chinese food, good prices and portions! Highly recommend: hot and sour soup eggplant with garlic sauce mapo tofu Taste authenticated by my grandma and aunts who are visiting from china - they loved it! Service was great and the inside has pretty decorations.

My boyfriend and I ordered takeaway here this week and we were pleasantly surprised! We ordered ahead of time and the food was ready not too long after. I ordered the chicken lo main and my boyfriend ordered the general tso chicken. The portions were really generous, and we ate everything so quickly that I didn't have time to take a picture! I'll definitely be back soon and will upload a photo when I do. Parking was ample outside and not a hassle at all. Service was quick inside, too. We just said the name on the order and they handed it to us. I didn't see too many people seating inside. I'm wondering if this is mainly a takeout place? Either way, it was so delicious and I have no complaints!

When the temperature drops, that craving for suichuan food hits hard. China Family is a very unassuming restaurant down Airport from the Crescent plaza. The place was not busy at all on a Saturday night, but the food was incredible. We ordered the dandan noodles, the mapo tofu, and the fish fillet in chili oil. We've had these exact dishes at other Chinese restaurants, but China Family does it the best. Everything was cooked perfectly and really checks all the boxes for good, authentic, homey Chinese cooking. China Family also doesn't shy away from the spices. Perfectly numbing, every dish packs a punch and my nose was running for most of the meal. Definitely will be at the top of my list when I'm craving suichuan food.

Open for New Year's Day! Wanted to eat and did not want to cook after staying up for NYE and this was right up my alley! Called ahead to make sure and they also took my order. We ordered Singapore rice noodles and hot Andre. Both ready within 10 minutes. The Singapore noodles had plenty of beef, shrimp, and chicken and that lovely curry flavor and the soup was nice a warm for a chilly day and came with crispy tons. Will definitely come back for a sit down meal but glad they were available for a holiday!
