"It takes so long to get a pickup order, you might as well order it so you can wait at your house instead of in the parking lot. Ordered half an hour ahead, waited an extra 15 minutes in the lot."

"I used to order from TSO all the time. The food is always tasty and good quality. But it does appear that they have now fallen victim to the labor shortage affecting all delivery services lately. At least that was my experience today. I ordered my lunch an hour and a half ago and it hasn't even started cooking yet. It's so disappointing. As I sit here starvi..." Read more

"Fast food delivered ! Tasted pretty good the next day. Lol. I picked it up myself, but probably should have just gotten delivery since it seems like the delivery cost is built into the prices."

"Super fast delivery! Easy to order online. No delivery fee or tip is transparent. Means they pay fair and don't rely on tips to pay employees. Order was correct and packaged well. HOWEVER-Food is just ok. It gets the job done and tastes ok but too sweet for my taste...it's a little heavy handed on the sugar. In fact- all my food was too sweet. I want..." Read more

"I have been ordering from Tso since early 2019. I have been a Tso advocate. The food was always delicious and delivered piping hot. Every time. The last, at least 4 times, I've ordered, the food has been mediocre at best and arrives lukewarm. And I'm ordering dishes I've had before and loved. I'm so sad because this was my go-to place for delivery"

"I ordered on the east side of Austin a few times. That location is always good and wait times are reasonable. Arboretum however is very inconsistent. Sometimes the food is good other times it is bad. It says your food will be there in appx 70 minutes.....two hours later and it hasn't even been started yet. The sides of fried rice and egg noodles are..." Read more

"I ordered delivery and the website was easy to navigate, they sent email and text confirmations and status updates, and the food arrived within their estimated time. The prices were reasonable considering they don't charge for delivery and ask you not to tip the driver The potstickers and sauce were good, and the blue crab rangoons were good, too. I have n..."

"The food is quite good...and consistently so, but the wait times make me want to cry. If you can really plan ahead, I guess it's not an issue...but we get take-out delivery when we can't take time to make dinner. We've never waited less than 1 1/2 hours for our order. Just not feasible. We made a decision after this last order that it's off the table as..." Read more

"Was just ok. I picked up my order of egg rolls, hot & sour soup and beef with broccoli. Everything was alright but the beef was tough and the sauce was too salty.. I expect a more tender beef with this dish. Not likely to recommend or return."

"Deliver driver was very nice, and they have lots of interesting food options but honestly the food was very... mehhhh Wish I could give it a better score because I was very excited based on the other reviews but it just didn't do anything for me, and I'm definitely not picky."

"Was craving some good ol' cheap Chinese take out food (New York must have gotten to me, because there's nothing quite like being able to order cheap, Chinese food delivery late at night) and found this place. It was okay...didn't quite hit the mark, and can't say I'd go back, but the food was fine (basic for the most part, nothing to write home about and can..." Read more

"Tso has an amazing delivery system. Free and easy to use, so major props for that! The prices seemed reasonable as well. Unfortunately our overall experience just wasn't great. The food took longer than expected which is fine and understandable in this crazy time. But then the food we got just wasn't as tasty as we hoped. Sesame chicken is one of our go-tos..." Read more

"On December 18, 2020 at 12:15PM I ordered the General Tso's Chicken, which was good, and the Honey Walnut Shrimp which was not so good. The problem I ran into was asking for the broccoli to be placed on the side. When I arrived to pickup my order I asked if the broccoli was on the side and was told, "We can't do that". Very disappointing so I'll continue to..." Read more

"My husband and I moved to Austin not too long ago and we're looking for a good Chinese takeout spot. We read good reviews and heard good things about this place from friends so we decided to order some food here for pick up. The food was cooked quickly and we didn't have to wait too long which was great. We ordered the combo lo mein noodles and general tso..." Read more

"I got a pork dish for my first experience with Tso. Unfortunately the meat was grizzled and did not taste very fresh. The veggie spring rolls were good. I will give them another try and hope for the best. I'm disappointed because I have heard such good reviews from friends. Perhaps this is a one off."

"The delivery service is great. The hot and sour soup is neither hot nor sour, but it is strangely sweet. The normal spicy level is not at all spicy. We ordered extra spicy, and it was so hot, that we thought the kitchen must be messing with us. I like very spicy new mexican, thai, and indian food, so I am not a wimp. It would be nice if there was a lev..." Read more

"Still really good but something has happened to the eggplant and tofu. Every time I've ordered it (I always order it) there is less and less eggplant. This time around I got 5 pieces (shreds, really) and mostly bell peppers. The portion size has gone down too. I don't know if this is intentional or just inconsistent cooks but after my last order, I think it'..." Read more

"I like their online ordering. It's simple and effective. The food was good but just a little too safe on the flavor. I had the chicken lo mein. I think they should add more heat to the dish. I had to add salt to my lo mein and I NEVER do that. Also the chicken had a weird taste to it. Like it wasn't fresh. Next time I'm going to stick with the vegetarian o..." Read more

"Always looking to try new places. Found Tso on yelp and decided to order pick up for the first time. As it was my first time and not knowing how much time it would take, I decided to order when I arrived. I pulled up front and an employee was walking inside. I'm trying to pull up the menu and the same guy walks outside, I think he's going on break. Then out..." Read more

"First time to order delivery from Tso because of high ratings on YELP.. Best Crab Rangoon puffs I have ever had. Egg drop soup luxurious with veggies and fresh scallions. Gummy batter, cold and tooo sweet of a sauce on both the General Tso and Sesame Chicken entree's that were ordered."

"I'm not sure what's exactly makes this spot stand out. I may have possibly went on a bad day, but I ordered the drunken noodles, general chicken, and walnut shrimp. $40 and I expected that it would be worth it. Honestly.... it tasted just like something I can get at any other Chinese spot. Nothing appealed to me at all. The beef in the drunken noodles were t..." Read more

"Tso's is one of the only Chinese restaurants that delivers, and so by default we wind up ordering from them even though after every meal we get I say "never again." It isn't that the food is bad, it's just that it is sooo bland. I swear they use no spices and I often wonder if they even use salt (they at least don't put any on their edamame). Delivery is oft..."

"Interesting concept, salaried workers means no need to tip for delivery. Sounds good in theory, but definitely means overpriced food (but not that crazily overpriced since you're not paying for the delivery, right?). Just don't think of it as free delivery, but fixed delivery cost applied to the menu. Overall, the food was pretty decent. I ordered two thing..." Read more
