I'll admit I've only had food delivered from Marco Polo, I have never eaten in the restaurant, so I cannot comment on ambience or service. The food however I will say is excellent. It is a struggle to find good Chinese food in South Austin even though where I live there are about 5 Chinese restaurants in delivery range, none of them even come close to Marco Polo. The crab rangoons are the best I've had in Austin so far, and the pan-fried dumplings are delicious. The entrees (I've have many) are consistently good, and never too greasy which is usually an issue for me. True, the food is not as authentic as I would like it to be, but it is definitely less Americanized than anywhere else I have tried. If you're sick of the tired greasy bland Chinese food that seems to be prevalent in Austin, try Marco Polo.
