" Having been to numerous Chinese restaurants across the country, my expectations were set high for Pao's. Luckily, they met them! I ordered the hot and sour soup and the crispy tofu which were fantastic. The ambiance was inviting, and staff were all polite. I noticed the owner chatting with customers, which adds a personal touch. Will certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're seeking an authentic Chinese restaurant, Pao's is a jewel in the Austin area. The flat noodles with beef were exceptional, cooked to perfection and generously portioned. The salt and pepper shrimp had a delightful crunch and flavor profile that kept me wanting more. The staff was attentive, and the ambiance is perfect for family gatherings. This place has definitely earned a spot on my monthly dining list! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried Pao's for lunch based on a friend's recommendation. I got the Szechuan chicken and my partner had the noodles. Both dishes were good but lacked the authentic wow factor that I had expected from some reviews. The service was quite friendly and efficient, but I might try a different dish next time to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I usually order takeout from Pao's, and it never disappoints. The sesame chicken is my golden standard, and Pao's version hits all the right notes! The flavors are on point, and the portions are a great deal for the price. However, I was slightly disheartened last time when my lo mein was a bit overcooked. Despite that, I will continue to return because of the prompt service and friendly staff! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a new place to try with my family, and Pao's turned out to be a gem! Our server was lovely, always checking on us. The food, particularly the smoked tea duck, was one of the best I've had in Texas! Portion sizes were generous and well worth the price. We will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pao's has been a family favorite for years. The consistency of their dishes is impressive; each visit has left me eagerly satisfied! I often order their Peking duck and scallion pancakes, both of which seem to transport me back to China with their authentic flavors. Staff here are always welcoming, making it feel like home every time. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Pao's with coworkers for lunch rather than the usual fast food chain. The lunch specials are a fantastic deal and the food quality is such a step up from typical casual dining. Had the curry chicken, which had an excellent balance of spices. My only downside was it took a little longer for our food to come, but it was worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)
