Qi Austin: Modern Asian Kitchen ~ Austin, Texas


835 W 6th St Unit 114, Austin, TX 78703

Ate here with some in-town family who are somewhat regulars (we arrived first, and manager told us, "Mark and Missy are ALWAYS late" - not true, but funny!) It's been a bit since our visit, and the menu changes frequently, but at a high level this place is what I would describe as higher-end Asian - really Chinese, primarily - with a seafood focus. We split a bottle of wine, had a salad to share on one side of the table and some potsticker/dumplings on the other, and the whole table ordered seafood options. All were good, none of the gooey American-ized Chinese sauces that I sorta loath, and we were neither under - nor over - fed. Split a dessert between the four of us and paid a higher-than-average price for dinner. Nothing wrong with this place. As a guy who doesn't enjoy crappy Cantonese / Szechuan made bland for US palates, it is a FAR better option (but not a must-do RJG joint).
