The Big Picture
Local flavor mutation alert: Chuanbei House, a Sichuan-inspired restaurant, opened in South Austin in October and is now taking whatever small joys we still permit ourselves in the form of numbing chilies and slippery noodles. It’s located at 8106 Brodie Lane, Ste. 109, Austin, and the phone listed is (512) 859-8999.
The menu, per Community Impact, includes Chongqing chili chicken, dan dan noodles, mapo tofu, dry-fried green beans and a range of soups, noodles, rice and protein plates, plus appetizers such as soup dumplings, crab rangoons and wontons. The kitchen also stocks Japanese Ramune soda.
What Changed
The storefront on Brodie Lane previously housed Beijing Wok, which closed in 2025; Chuanbei House opened in October 2026 in that same space. That replacement is the only concrete before-and-after the source provides.
What's Next
Chuanbei House is open as of October 2026 at 8106 Brodie Lane, Ste. 109. The Community Impact item lists the phone number above for contact; the story does not provide hours, prices, an online menu link, or reservation details.
Call (512) 859-8999 for more info or to check hours — and yes, this is the place to text your friend a blurry photo of mapo tofu when you want them to show up immediately.
