Pu Pu platter

[Crossctry diner]

Sometimes I love Uchi, sometimes Vespaio - but lately I really want a pu pu platter and a scorpion bowl. I'm old enough not to know the student haunts - anyone have suggestions where one can get a classic sterno-burning, shrimp chip, BBQ rib and crab rangoon special in the Austin area. For me, paper umbrellas are a must!

Chinatown on Bee Caves has a pu pu platter FYI

I forget the name of the place, but there is Chines restaurant on Far West that my kids used to really like, especially for the pu pu platter.

Are you maybe thinking of China Sea, troytempest? That is the only chinese joint i ever remember being on far west when i used to live over there a few years back. also nearby was China house on greystone dr. and then peony on balcones; maybe you're thinking of one of those? I've never been particularly partial to those places, but i remember enjoying old school PuPu platters at a place called Twin Lion on braker lane. It's a little place tucked away in the shopping center with the huge HEB just off the highway, and to this day they also happen to serve the best sesame chicken I ever had in austin. Crispy on the outside, lean meat, sauce a nice balance of sweet and tangy, not soggy...but I digress. I remember enjoying pu pu platters there very much, but that was, say 7 years ago. The only items I've eaten there recently are straight up Szechuan style dishes.

Thanks - I can't find anything on line about China Sea (which does exist in that area) - is there anything more Polynesian and less Chinese???

Is it Chinatown? Close to Far West, but not really. I love their pu pu platter.

It might be China Sea. I forgot to ask my wife last night, but it's not ChinaTown.
