Chinese Dim Sum Seafood

The food is great. The menu is a bit limited from what you would expect from a dimsum only day.The portions are a bit small for their price (this may be the market rate).My shumai order was late to arrive but the staff took care of it by removing it in the paycheck and another item as an apology.If no reservations on Sunday, expect to wait up to 2 hours.

We went here for Sunday lunch. It was a dim sum menu. Nice place and they offered outdoor seating also. Nice selection of mocktails for those that don't consume alcohol. The bloody Mulan (bloody Mary- their version) was quite good.The dim sum was all quite tasty. A bit on the pricier side. I felt for the price, service could have been a little more attentive- they forgot to bring a few items we ordered and we had to remind them, and it took a while for refills on water. Otherwise, it was a good experience.

Sichuan won tons, mala ribs, egg custard tarts, pineapple buns!

My boyfriend and I went to Wu Chow for our anniversary. Immediately, the menu choices all seemed delicious and our waitress was very helpful in helping us decide what to eat. We ended up eating the Mapo Dofu, Salt and Pepper Squid, and Soup Dumplings. I also loved that the restaurant was completely family style. Everything was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced; would definitely eat here again!

Great sit in restaurant with ambient lighting. Service was great! Food was DELICIOUS! Every dish had its own unique taste. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for good Chinese food! Made a reservation before coming in.

We came in with high hopes and left disappointed.The bird nest seafood dish had no taste. The soup dumplings all had holes so the soup leaked before we could eat them only to find them greasy and unimpressive.The staff was nice an courteous but the dishes we ordered took over 30 minutes to arrive.Overall I'd say it was way overpriced and way underwhelming.

The place was very fancy.Can’t say much. The food is amazing! If you’re a couple, I’d suggest ordering chicken and pork dumplings (10 total) and a main dish. That’s enough to feed two people.They make the best dumplings I’ve ever tried. Their dumplings don’t tear when you grab them, like in other places.Otherwise you’re going to leave the place rolling.Hint: you can take the chopsticks home!

We read the reviews and were expecting better quality for our buck. The food was good but not anything extraordinary. We only got 3 spring rolls for $8 and they were thin and the pictures online made I seem like you would get more. Had we ate at the restaurant things may have been different but we ordered takeout and felt that there perhaps wasn't as much effort put into the food. The frozen chicken dumplings we got weren't fully closed. The filling was fully visible. We might give it another chance and dine in but we'll see.

Overall decent experience. All of the dishes we got were pretty good except for the soup dumplings, which was the thing we were most excited about! Our server forgot to put in our order for them. All of our food came out and still no dumplings. They finally came out promptly after reminding the server, but they weren’t great. The dough was way too thick and undercooked and they weren’t even hot. Pretty disappointing. I’ve had much better ones elsewhere.

We visited Austin for a bachelor party. This place came highly recommended and were super happy when we heard they would be able to serve our party. This place ended up living up to its billing. The food tasted spectacular, and we tried a verity of dishes due to our large party size. I would highly recommend this place for some solid food and some great vegan options.
