NEW CHINESE BRASSERIE
OLD THOUSAND FILLS A
CULINARY NICHE IN EAST
AUSTIN.
Nostalgic and playful, Old
Thousand does more than fill
a need for Chinese on
Austin's Eastside. Chefs
James Dumapit (Uchiko) and
David Baek (Thai-Kun, Uchi)
have created a menu that puts
an inventive spin on comfort-
ing classics. Don't miss the
Honey Prawn, showcasing
Texas honey curd and
candied pecans. Take-out is
available, but it's hard to resist
the colorful cocktail menu or
the bright, floral space—the
first from the new SMGB
Hospitality. Says partner
Christian Romero: "It should
feel like you're hanging out at
your cool friend's house."
