A great place for Asian food served family style with small plates, and entrees with a variety of meat, sea food and veg dishes. We went here after work to celebrate a co-worker's work anniversary on a Monday evening. We were seated promptly and the service was quick and friendly. Our waters were refilled regularly, which we appreciated given the warm weather and spicy food! They have indoor and outdoor seating with a combination of 2,4,6 seater and larger tables making it great for a post work outing. We got the veg dumplings, Sichuan tofu - a unanimous favorite if you can tolerate the spice, to start our meal. We also tried the two faced noodles, a delightful concept where they're crunchy if you eat them immediately and they soften if you wait for a bit and the Sichuan eggplant that was served with a side of rice. They were kind enough to give us some complimentary mango sorbet which was perfectly flavored and great in the Austin heat for dessert to complete our celebration. Thank you Wu Chow, we will be back!

Tuesday night 7 pm and the place is hopping! A few tables open, but most everything is packed, including the patio with a breezy 72 degree Austin evening. Two different servers asked if I had any allergies or dietary restrictions before ordering - impressive! I ordered the seafood bird nest. Here, it's a taro root nest and it's served with a side of rice -- interesting! I also received a pair of metal tongs, which I used to break apart the nest for consumption. Tools were definitely required, as the nest was thicker and crunchier than I've previously experienced. Still very good! Flavors were pretty authentic. Only complaint were a couple fishy tasting scallops. Service was very attentive and the highlight of the meal -- thank you Ireland!

Wow!!! Flavors bursting with every bite! Singapore noodles seem like a rare find and these were amazing!! Dumplings were steamed perfectly and had the little bit of chewiness that I love. Pork belly also very flavorful but I would've liked a little crispiness to them. My friend ranted and raved about the honey pecan shrimp and due to my nut allergy we ordered without the pecans. The breading was not overbearing, they had the right amount of crunch and sauce. The ambiance is good for a date night or group/business gatherings with the tables having lazy Susan's to enjoy sharing and dabbling in different menu items. Food came out fairly quick and our wait staff provided great recommendations.

I love the food at Wu Chow - their Singapore noodles are soooo yummmm! It qualifies to be a fancy restaurant, so you can expect a nice ambiance and good service. I remember the first time that we went to Wu Chow and had ordered veganfried rice as one of the dishes ,the chef accidentally added thai chilli instead of scallions! And we almost blacked out LOL! The way they handled that situation spoke a lot about the quality of their service and the care for their customers. Most recently, I visited them back for brunch. Really nice food, my only complaint is that the brunch menu hardly has any vegan protein options. It's full of starch, carbs and fat. Not that this is a health food location, but would like some vegan protein options from dinner menu to be included in brunch too.

I've written well over 100 reviews as a Yelp Elite, and Allyssa provided the best service I've had for any of them. Wonderful service! We had the Tangerine Peel Beef (highly recommended, with a lot of deliscious tangerine peel), the nightly special shrimp with fermented greens (which we very much enjoyed), and their shanghai dumplings (we've never met a soup dumpling I didn't love, and of course we loved these). We also tried a couple of their signature cocktails. They don't have a dessert menu but they say they're working on one. We came on a Tuesday night without a reservation. We found free parking and were seated right away. All the servers and staff were very friendly and attentive. And the food came out of the kitchen quickly. The place is dimly lit, but not too dim, and they had hip hop playing over the speaker system (but not too loud) to complete the hip ambiance.

My sister in law and I tried this restaurant today while visiting Austin. Delicious food 10/10 Service was quick 10/10 Ambiance was super nice great aesthetic and vibe 10/10 The only thing I would say was a bit weird was the waitress gave us 1 to-go box when we asked for two to keep two separate food items and then we forgot it but I rushed back after a minute or two, and it was gone from our table and I asked another waiter around and he apologized but I saw the waitress who attended us standing there but she didn't say anything. We ordered hot n sour soup the serving is small but it was very delicious no additional sauce needed The Sichuan crispy tofu was spot on spicy and crispy with garlic spring onions and Sichuan peppers! It just needed a little salt And we ordered the steamed chicken dumplings which were pretty tasty too! Will definitely go again to try entree's and drinks.

Great food and fun atmosphere! Asian fusion with a hip hop twist. Our group of four friends went to Wu Chow on a Friday night. We had reservations and only waited a few minutes for our table. Hip hop plays in the background, and most of the cocktail names have a hip hop reference. Of course, I can't remember any of them now, lol! My drink had blueberry vodka, grapefruit, and sparkling wine- kind of their twist on a French 75. It was light and refreshing, although it got a little too heavy on the grapefruit toward the end. We got tons of dishes to share. My favorites were the honey pecan prawns, and the wu chow fried rice- lots of meat chunks (shrimp, chicken, pork) throughout. The green beans were also delicious, and we got a "secret menu" item as well- the braised beef, which was tender and delicious. I can never handle soup dumplings correctly, so they were just ok to me. Our server was efficient and funny and pretty much everything came out all together except the soup dumplings, which was great for a shared experience. Highly recommend!

It's really important to note that the weekday menu and the Sunday dim sum can be vastly different experiences, so consider that when you visit here. Personally, I think the dim sum Sundays are a bit better, but the weekday options aren't bad either! The vibes here are pretty nice: dim "romantic" lighting with some light Chinese-inspired accentuations. There's a bar for all you avid drinkers, and their bathroom has a fancy ROCK sink. The hosts and waiters have all been super nice and helpful with explaining menu items, making suggestions, etc. As for the food: Sichuan Spicy Wontons, 1/10 or 10/10. This menu item is VASTLY different depending on when you go. The weekday dinner version is overly doughy and lacks flavor. But the Dim Sum version is absolutely delicious. Tangerine Peel Beef - 9/10. Great flavor and texture. Simply prepared really well. Singapore Noodles - 8/10. Nice choice for a noodle dish and comes with a wide assortment of meats and veggies. Sichuan Braised Eggplant - 9/10. Chinese style eggplant just hits different. Wu Chow's does not disappoint. And for some dim sum selections: Char Siu Bao - 6/10. Great flavor but too much bread to meat ratio. Shrimp Stuffed Eggplant - 10/10. Knockout. Foil Chicken​​​​ - 8/10. In the end its just chicken, but it is quite flavorful. Pork & Shrimp Shumai - 8/10. A solid shumai. Dan Dan Noodles - 8/10. Pretty good. If you need something more filling for your dimsum meal, this is a good choice. Gai-Lan Broccoli with Oyster Sauce - 10/10. This is just incredible for a veggie dish. Great presentation, great taste. Sticky Rice - 7/10. Cute presentation. I like adding the Sichuan wonton leftover sauce to this.
