Located in Austin’s Chinatown at Kramer Lane and N. Lamar Blvd, TC Noodle House serves up a lengthly menu of traditional Chinese cuisine.
(Above) The Clay Hot Pot with pork ribs swimming in a dark soy garlic sauce and rendered fat from the ribs. The ribs are small and most have a fat cap remaining, I usually cut off any visible fat in anything I eat so this wasn’t an issue for me. The meat is very tender and not overly seasoned.
The Crab Asparagus Soup is made with green asparagus that seems to have originated from a can or the freezer, or it has been cooking in the thick broth all day. The crab in the soup is scattered about. I only found a couple notable pieces. Overall, the soup was good, but we moved on to better things.
Hubby requested Salt & Pepper Scallops, which we didn’t see on the menu but our server said no problem. He returned mere minutes later with a plate of delicately seasoned and fried scallops. The best scallops I’ve ever tasted! And I’m not the seafood buff of the family! I would go back just to try these again.
The restaurant itself is probably the cleanest one I’ve been to. Tile floors instead of carpet helps to keep odors away. A huge elephant statue and tall bamboo near the cashier adds Asian flair. The bathrooms were also very clean, but I didn’t see a baby changing station.
We had a very pleasant meal and left with full bellies, it onlt set us back about $28 for essentially a three course lunch!
