This was probably one of my favorite dining experiences! My partner and I did a walk in on a busy Saturday night, but despite this the staff were incredibly accommodating. I was sat right away at the patio, they turned on heaters for me, and made sure I never needed anything. My waitress was so nice and made sure out waters were never too low. The food was also amazing! We had the Peking duck special which has zero complaints. I also recommend the green beans, they are the best I've ever had. The restaurant also has an amazing vibe to it and is very classy and casual which I enjoyed. Will definitely be coming back!
Our waitress was amazing. She picked up a chopstick wrapper on the way to another table she was so attentive. Water was always full. The food was delicious. We should have asked for more spice but blame ourselves for that. The atmosphere was busy but clean, calm, and intentional. Just how I like it.
Wu Chow never disappoints! Incredible flavors, beautifully prepared dishes, and consistently excellent service. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere is upscale but welcoming. Easily one of my favorite spots in Austin.
We went for Sunday dim sum. Food was good, but a little pricey. They do use and source the best produce in the area. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The best part of this restaurant is you can flag down any server to place your order/ drink refill without waiting for your original server.
In town for the Lumineers concert the night before… We were searching for something that we couldn’t normally find where we are from. My daughter had to return an item to urban outfitters so we searched for restaurants, nearby and found Wu Chow. Service was exceptional! The dumplings were delicious, but the noodles seemed different than what we are accustomed to. Pleasantly surprised to learn that the waitress removed the noodles from the ticket since so few were eaten. We showed our appreciation by replacing that cost in the tip! The atmosphere was pleasant and overall I’d say I would return.
