Wu Chow

We really enjoyed our visit. The restaurant was very accommodating we had a last minute change to the number of guests, and they were able to accommodate us. The menu is very extensive so the waitress was able to give us a few good recommendations. Here is a list of items we ordered and all had a very unique taste 1. Dry Fried Local Green Beans 2. Salt and Pepper Squid 3. Seafood Bird's Nest 4. Shanghai Soup Dumplings 5 Chengdu Chilli Chicken 6. Singapore Noodles. 8. Prawns (maybe chengdu or honey pecan gulf prawns. 8. Thyme me up - virgin. 9. Vegan ice cream. The restaurant itself has indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot is a self park across the street from the restaurant.

So, here's the scoop on Woo Child – the dim sum and Sichuan wizardry down in downtown Austin. Now, I held off on this review because, let's face it, Austin can sometimes prioritize looking cool over serving up killer food. But hold onto your chopsticks, because Woo Child is about to flip that script. This place doesn't just serve dim sum; it throws a dim sum party in your mouth, and Sichuan cuisine here is like a flavor rollercoaster you never want to end. In a town where aesthetics often steal the show, Woo Child goes, "Hold my hot sauce," and cranks up the taste to 11. After several trips, I can confidently say Woo Child isn't just a restaurant; it's a pleasure cruise for your taste buds. It's like they took the food game, did a little dance, and set a whole new standard. So, if you're tired of the same old foodie song and dance, Woo Child is the downtown maestro conducting a symphony of flavors that'll make your taste buds sing.

Wu chow is our favorite place for dinner in Austin. We first tried 4 years ago, and totally fall in love with it. I like their atmosphere as well. Such a nice romance place that with delicious food. Some dishes that highly recommended. - Beef chow fun, everyone loves it, right?! It is the best main dish we ever tried in different Chinese Cuisine. The favor is just right, not too much or too light. - Chengdu Chili Chicken, spicy warning, but it's so good! Tender chicken breast with some spicy carrots, cabbages and beans. We were glad that this chili chicken dish has some veggies in it, so we are able to order one more meat dish! - Honey Pecan Gulf Prawn, huge prawn! Love this dish at the first try! Love this place. BUT too hard to order, because we would like to try all dishes! 100% recommended.

This place is absolutely outstanding! It offers exceptional value for your money. On my second visit to Wu Chow, I was once again impressed by the consistently high food quality. We indulged in the chicken dumplings, which were impeccably fresh and incredibly delicious. The crispy chicken with Szechuan pepper provided the perfect balance of zing without being overly spicy. However, the real stars of the meal were the cumin lamb and the chili chicken – simply the best! I highly recommend these two dishes, especially when paired with their fragrant fried rice. The portions are generously sized and easily satisfy two hungry diners. Overall, this establishment is a gem. They also have a wide variety of cocktails and beer/wines! The ambiance is delightful, and their prices are very reasonable. If you're visiting Austin, I wholeheartedly endorse this place. It's a culinary delight!

i had a great time at Wu Chow. I would absolutely recommend Wu Chow to any vegans or vegetarians. The server was able to ensure everything was vegan before it came out and there were a number of options. The service was great, the happy hour wine was good, and the food was delicious. The Sichuan Braised Eggplant was amazing. Our server was attentive and the food came out quick. The server was able to make great recommendations for vegan options. If you’re a vegan i would 1000% recommend and just ask your server which meat options can be replaced with tofu.

I stumbled on this WU Chow while looking for a gluten-free Chinese food options. The menu online had a nice variety so I decided to go for it. Something to note when driving, there are several trees making it difficult to see the small red sign so be aware while navigating. If you're on the sidewalk, you can't miss it. There is valet but it's not close to the entrance; you're better off going to the small lot at San Antonio St. and 5th. It's well lit and had plenty of spaces on a Thursday evening around 7 pm. The ambiance was really nice! There's basically a wall of windows letting so much natural light in and overlooking the outdoor dining area. However, it's not too bright inside and still has a low-light feel. Staff was really friendly and we were seated quickly. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made some great recommendations. She was attentive, asked about allergies beforehand, and answered my questions. My water glass was never empty and cocktails were refreshing. I love that everything comes out on "share" plates. This is great for those dining with a group of people and want to try various items... especially if you can't decide what you want. All of the share dishes come out with serving utensils so that no one is using their personal items. That being said, the food was phenomenal. I had been craving good Chinese food because it's a rare find when you can't have gluten. This place really hit the spot and I will definitely be returning.
