China Cafe Lakeline

China Cafe Lakeline has served gourmet Chinese food out of the Lakeline area of North Austin for more than two decades, at a strip location on North Highway 183. The menu covers the usual takeout staples, egg rolls, beef and broccoli, fried rice, along with a hot and sour soup and crab rangoon that regulars call out specifically. It carries a beer and wine list alongside the food, which sets it apart from a typical strip-mall Chinese spot, and it's open daily for lunch through dinner. For a rider working the 183 corridor through North Austin, it's a straightforward sit-down or takeout option away from the downtown bar scene.
