Mon-Fri, 11am-2:30pm, 5-10pm; Sat-Sun, 11:30am-10pm

Twin Dragon is the other Grande Dame of Vietnamese cuisine in Austin, and has a very loyal, large, and satisfied following. The menu is extremely complex and varied, covering all the requisites, and then some. Try the mussels with lemongrass or the fish and shrimp in hot and sour soup (most excellent, with pineapple and chiles). Chef William Wong produces dim sum every Saturday and Sunday from 11am-3pm, and during the week the lunch buffet is hopping from 11:30am-2pm. Prices are low to moderate, service efficient, and the food tasty.
