Pao's Mandarin House - Lakeway

The boss is very nice. Had one dish not as expected. He accepted for a return easily. The other 3 dishes were very delicious. Went there for a few years. Usually ordered to go. Will go more often. They have authentic Chinese food if you can read Chinese lol

I love their food their prices are great for the portions you get their staff is always super nice I placed an order accidentally pressed pick up when I didn't have a car at the time and had a call in and they were so understanding and they still let me get delivery

Fantastic food and service. The chicken with orange peel was fantastic and the staff graciously accommodated my request to make the dish with white meat instead of dark. The crispy beef came highly recommended and was perfection. The portion size is huge and I had leftovers for lunch. I had eaten all my rice though and was thinking to myself about how I’d need to get up early to cook some rice before work to have with the leftovers…and the waitress comes up with a to go box and extra rice! That was so incredibly thoughtful and sweet!! I was surprised to see some negative reviews and maybe it comes from a mismatch of expectations? This may not be the right restaurant for you if you are wanting very Americanized Chinese food in sweet sauces, although the sweet and sour dishes, scallion pancakes, and a some other dishes look like they might be a crowd-pleaser if that is the case. This was a great place for expertly cooked and crisped and spiced dishes!

Initially came here looking for dim sum after seeing a review saying they had it, but they haven’t served dim sum in quite a while! That was okay because everything else was really yummy. We ordered two dishes off the lunch menu: the Szechuan and Curry Chicken. Pretty good deals for those. We also ordered the Flat Noodle with Beef, Salt Pepper Shrimp, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Scallion Pancake, and Spicy Wontons. Really satisfying for a decent price! Tina was also really helpful providing recommendations. If we are in the area again, we’d love to come back!

The food is always amazing. The staff is wonderful and their delivery is always quick.
