2025 Summer Food Guide — Austin 🏝🌞
Longmen Zhen, a fiery new hotpot spot near Domain, has become my summer obsession! Opened last month, its red-tinted windows 🌺 instantly transport you to a lively Chinese market vibe. The Sichuan-certified spicy broth 🌶️ is no joke—even non-spice lovers should tread carefully! Their Instagram-worthy beef-lamb platter 🥩 is a must-try, blending melt-in-mouth texture with artful presentation. For Korean cravings, Ghama Zone, a 20-minute drive north of Domain, delivers authentic flavors without disappointment. Pricier but worth every penny—every dish I’ve ordered here (three visits and counting!) has been a hit. 🌞Think crispy kimchi pancakes, savory bulgogi, and refreshing naengmyeon. It’s so good, I’m planning weekly pilgrimages! Finally, the viral CaPhe Vietnamese coffee shop ☕️—perfect for sun-kissed photos 📸! Their sweet, creamy iced coffee is as photogenic as it is delicious. Be prepared for Seattle-level queues, though rumors say online ordering might save your wait time. From spicy hotpot thrills to serene coffee moments 🌴, Austin’s summer food scene is serving up joy and nostalgia. 🌞 Here’s to the power of food to fuel our adventures! #AustinFoodies #FoodPower2025 🚗💨
