Beijing Bistro

Just tried this place for the first time today. And yes, I agree its not the cheapest Chinese food around. And yes, the egg rolls and even the won ton soup are just ok, but jeez, people, if you are going to rate a place on a side dish alone, or that its not as cheap as Panda Express, I suppose you should probably stick to Panda Express.
Having said that, let me start my review. I ordered online for pick up. I did speak with the owner and he said he would deliver if you request it and he’s not too busy. I live less than a mile away, so for me its fairly easy to go by and pick up, but I opt for delivery most of the time if its available. The place has only been open a few months, and it seems clean and inviting.
I ordered the Sauteed Trio Combo (13.95) and added Soup and egg roll for 2.00 more. So, 15 and change for one person… again, not your Panda Express prices, so I would expect a better experience for the extra moula.
Food was great, very hot (temp), tasty (although next time ill ask for a little more spicy, I asked for medium this time), and overall, I didnt mind parting with my 15 duckettes for the food. Yes, the egg rolls werent all that great, so guess what? Next time I wont add the soup or egg roll. Soup I just tasted for the review… not bad, but I was full from the rest of the food.
I will definitely make this a regular place to eat. Its right next to my liquor store, so yes, very convenient. Delivery will make it that much easier to order dinner for kids when I have them, and I dont have to cook!
One pet peeve I did notice when I went to pick up my order. The owner was mopping the floor while his employees were standing around texting on their cell phones. Now, Im not sure why he was mopping, maybe hes a control freak, I dont know. And the pet peeve isnt that he was doing the mopping… it was the fact that the «girls» he had working there were texting on the phone, and one even made a call while she was obviously not on break. So, to the owner, grow a back bone, and have a policy of NO cell phones while on duty. The only thing that allowing employees to have cell phones out does is lower customer service, distract employees, and it looks completely unprofessional. Thats it, just had to vent on that.

After hearing about this place from two different people I decided to give it a try. I ordered the orange chicken and it was fantastic!
Great customer service! The manager is super friendly and the waiter was attentive.

Great food for the price range. I was really blown away by the waitstaff. I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. They checked in regularly and made sure our drinks were always full and the manager came out and checked on everyone as well. I got the sesame chicken and it tasted pretty good. I definitely recommend it if you are in the area.

My husband, son, and I visited Beijing Bistro today for lunch. The food was delicious and the customer service was great. We had Chicken Delight, General Tso Chicken, &Sweet and Sour Chicken. They were all excellent. Their lunch specials come with soup and egg roll. The chicken was tender and the vegetables were fresh. Great alternative to fast food!!! We will be back!

It took me awhile after it went in to try it but I am glad I did. Right around the corner and very delish! They are talking about adding delivery soon so that will be even better. The inside of the restaurant is cute and inviting. The owner is always there when I have been there making sure you are happy. He is so nice, I really hope this place does well. If you haven’t been you may want to check it out!!!

Had lunch on a cold day. Hot and sour soup hit the spot. Peppercorn hot wings were deliciously crispy with a hint of heat, topped with a jalapeño/​onion/​tomato slaw. Perfect beer accompaniment, really good. Trio sauté in burgundy sauce was lightly spicy, rich, yet not heavy. The meats (shrimp, chicken, beef) were perfectly cooked. Nice sauce. I think this was the best thing we ate. The bean curd sauté with vegetables was good and fresh. Not amazing flavor wise but quite acceptable. The accompanying egg rolls were OK, nothing special. But then, rarely do I find egg rolls exciting. They offer 3 rice choices, white, brown, or fried. White and brown were fine. Didn’t try fried. Good service. Nice décor. All dishes were beautifully plated, too, very nice touch.

Finally a cute and yummy little restaurant comes to this area of Buda. My folks live pretty close to here and highly recommended we stop by, so we went today for lunch while we were in town. The place is pretty small but well appointed– well lit, very clean, and comfortably decorated. Excellent excellent service– the gentleman that greeted us when we arrived (the owner/​manager I’m guessing), also checked on us several times during our meal, and recommended the chicken and shrimp in hot pepper sauce to me, which I really enjoyed. My husband got the Orange chicken and his was very tasty as well. My son was sharing between the two of us and the nice man brought him a free egg roll and side of rice like what came with our dishes. Really a nice and thoughtful touch. I had egg drop soup, which was good but hubs and my kiddo both got wonton soup, which was so so tasty. Really yummy clear broth with one wonton, which is pretty standard in my opinion of a lunch sized soup. Prices are maybe $ 1-​$ 2 more per plate then in Austin but I completely understand the price point. The food arrived very hot and very fresh. Right next door there is a liquor store, and an interesting note is that right now they are byob! I would not hesitate for a second to grab a bottle of wine or a sixer and head over for a tasty meal. If we lived in the area we would be regulars and my guess is that everyone in the neighborhood will be soon! P. S. My folks went for dinner and had a the chicken coconut curry and said it was freakishly good– and they are picky eaters!

I live down the street from Beijing Bistro in the Whispering Hollow Neighborhood. I have eaten there twice once getting the Sesame Chicken and once getting the Chicken Lo Mein and both times I was happy with the food. The restaurant is small but clean and was a nice place to eat. There was nothing that stood out to make it 5 star, but the only criticism was I felt my portion was a little smaller that what I am accustomed to. I think if you are looking for the typical American Chinese food you will not be disappointed with Beijing Bistro!

We have eaten at this place 3 times and it takes a lot for me to write a Unilocal review… but this place has got to be kidding me… if you are going to charge P.F. Chang prices… the food should be up to par. My wonton soup had 1 wonton in it, that I could buy frozen from HEB. I don’t mind paying for good food, but seriously the food was nothing special. We will be sticking with Hays City Donuts from now on… they deliver, make their eggrolls homemade, and have great lunch specials.

The service was excellent! I would definitely recommend the egg drop soup. The sweet and sout chicken is crispy and my husband really liked their Kung Pao chicken. Overall great place!

We ate lunch. Both of the meals were very well prepared. The hot and sour soup was delicious and we each had an extra bowl at no charge. Service was outstanding since we were the first of the day. Did not know brown rice cost extra. Lunch menu costs were moderate. Will come back

Good Chinese food in Buda… Worth a try and great to have some more optional locally.

Food was good. Probably the most expensive beef and broccoli I’ve ever had! 12.95 + 1.00 (fried rice) + 2.00 (soup&eggroll)
I’d eat it again maybe if they have lunch specials or add a dinner combo…

It’s nice to finally get a Chinese restaurant in Buda! This place just opened and we tried it for take out. Food was delicious, fresh and piping hot. The fried rice was especially good when compared to most standard Chinese restaurants. There are about 12 tables and it looks like they are working on adding a bar. The prices are reasonable and we look forward to dining in sometime soon. Enjoy!
