A no-frills haven for traditional Chinese fare, Julie's Noodles serves up flavorful, homemade dishes like dumplings and lamb noodle soup in a bustling vibe.
"The North Austin Chinese restaurant is one of the city’s absolute best destinations for homey dumplings and handmade noodles in soothing soups. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Maybe it’s the name that makes every meal at Julie’s feel like it has a personal touch, but the handmade dumplings in this busy dining room feel especially handmade. The boiled, fried, and steamed classic dumplings arrive with a thick wrapper and a great bite, and the soup dumplings are among the most affordable in town. The skin is a little thicker than other spots—and a little gummy at times—but the broth and fillings are great, even if they occasionally arrive less hot than we’d like. " - nicolai mccrary
"Julie’s Noodles is perhaps best known for their handmade noodles—it’s in their name after all. We’re big fans of the soups here, especially the spicy beef suan tsai noodle soup with the pickled greens. While the soup is spicy on its own, make sure to ask for extra homemade chili oil for the full mala experience. Find them in a strip mall on Research Boulevard alongside a location of Ramen Tatsu-ya, another spot on this guide." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

The classic dumplings here go a little too heavy on the dough, but the soup dumplings are excellent. Grab an order—because more soup in your life is rarely a bad thing—and a side of refreshing cucumber salad to add a little brightness to your meal. It’s located in the same shopping center as Din Ho, at Ohlen and 183. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
