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!

Came in on Wednesday early evening. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived but started filling quickly. There is only a happy hour bar menu from 4-5:00. The food was quite tasty and fresh. We had the crispy fish, sweet and spicy chicken and hunan beef. All were very delicious. We will be back.

We came here to celebrate a birthday and Ana And Johnny made it very special. The service was attentive and personable.

Loved the pork soup dumplings. The tangerine beef was a bit dry.

Atmosphere is inviting, cozy, and well decorated

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.

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.

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.

Gotta give great marks to this spot which has managed to bring (and keep) elevated Chinese food in downtown Austin for a decade now. The flavors are always bright and vibrant, service is the perfect combo of professional and personable, and the cocktails are fun and innovative.

Wu Chow is also a pillar of the community in many other ways. You’ll often find events hosted here during SXSW and beyond, and leadership is consistent and proactive in giving back to central Texas. Most recently, the owner collaborated with other local Austin chefs to host a delicious dinner series fundraising for victims of the July 4, 2025 floods. I appreciate the way they use food and fun to raise awareness and care for others.

Came to Wu Chow for our anniversary dinner without a reservation. Online it showed no wait, but when we arrived, there was about an hour wait for indoor seating. Luckily, there was no wait for outdoor seating, so we took the chance even though it was a bit chilly. Thankfully, they had plenty of heaters, and we stayed warm. The food was incredible—we had the Wu Chow special fried rice, shrimp Chengdu, soup dumplings, and chicken Chengdu, and everything was packed with flavor. Service was great too, even though we were outside. Definitely coming back!

Food flavors were absolutely incredible. But our soup was cold. Others sent back food around us for being cold too. The restaurant was not that busy at 5:15 but because we didn’t have reservations we had to sit outside. That was fine, it was a last minute decision while we were walking past to sit. However was waiter was absolutely terrible. He would disappear for long periods of time, others filled our drinks and brought us silverware and soy. He was not good. Other servers seemed attentive with their tables. Never went inside but the atmosphere seemed nice. The patio was nothing special. Probably won’t return ever again. Much better options in Austin.
