Food was amazing, the soup dumplings were amazing as well. The drinks were great, they weren’t stingy with the alcohol in the mixed drinks.

Brought my family here we loved it! They want to visit again when next in Austin. The portions of the food was so much that we had leftovers to bring home. All except the lamb. It was a small amount of lamb but it was delicious especially paired with one of the given sauces (can’t remember which) the other was not to my liking. We also had fried rice, steak, sesame chicken, general tso chicken, steamed dumplings: all tasty and flavorful. Our server Marvi was friendly and answered all our questions it being our first time. Also accommodated any dietary restrictions. For desert we had a mango icecream cheesecake with flames which was an unexpected burst of flavor. Jackie served this to us and made a grand display. Also, we were going to be late for our initial reservation but via call we were able to reschedule for a hour later with relative ease. We will be back soon!

Food: This is one of my favorite spots in austin for asian food. they have amazing xiao long baos and dimsum options. the salted egg lava buns are delicious too! you really cant go wrong with anything you order. the peking duck is good and their duck curry was so rich and filled with tender duck. service: great service, nice staff, not a long wait for the food. Ambiance: great ambiance, perfect for a date or even something casual. overall 1618 is great!

I have had food here three more times and enjoyed it thoroughly. They make delicious Hanoi pho - my favorite in Austin and probably ever in the US. I am from Hanoi so this is the closest Pho has tasted to Hanoi's style to me so far. I always get the brisket, along with another cut of meat (filet mignon) and steamed bean sprouts. Their salmon in banana leaf is to die for - so flavorful with a little kick of spices: lemon grass, red pepper and coconut milk. It has a  curry soupy consistency and served with rice - so so tasty. They have live music on Thursday night when we came which lent itself to a very nice ambiance. One of my favorite restaurants in Austin!

1618 is hands down my ride or die. Their service is top notch and I absolutely enjoyed everything on the menu. I've been to 1618 countless times and have never been disappointed. Austin is still growing so it lacks good Asian restaurants compared to bigger cities but I think 1618 is one of Austin's few gems.

Very good Panang Curry which can be a little difficult to find. Ambiance was nice, menu is a bit pricy for portion is the reason for 4 not 5 stars.

Marvy was a great server, she recommended great suggestions of foods and wine. She was very attentive and friendly, I LOVED the service coming from a service food industry manager to server. The restaurant itself was very fun lighting soothing and relaxing to enjoy some comfort Asian food, some of my favorites made BEST. Will definitely return and recommend to others.
