 Austin seldom disappoints my family whenever we are looking for a delectable Asian cuisine. From the most familiar on the list namely Chinese or Vietnamese to the less common kinds like Thai, Japanese or Korean, I always practice probing my friends whom had been there or reading others' reviews before heading to the restaurant.
