This unassuming spot across the parking lot from the Village Cinema harbors one of Austin's premier Chinese buffets. Over 60 items are submitted for your palate's approval, including zesty garlic shrimp and a hearty won ton soup that shouldn't be missed. Shanghai River also has a bountiful vegan and vegetarian buffet featuring General Tso's tofu ball, sweet and sour mushrooms, and broccoli with wheat gluten.
