Rachel McGruderJune 10, 2016Was it the eggplant? The tangerine beef? The Singapore noodles? The soup dumplings? Everything was so good, I completely forgot about my cocktail - and I love cocktails! You WON'T be disappointed.
Nathan WrightMay 30, 2017Fantastic Chinese food and atmosphere. And I mean REAL Chinese food. The soup dumplings are can't-miss. Wait staff is A+. Don't forget to say hello to Gold Dirty B*stard (the goldfish) near the door.
Bryant LukAugust 6, 2017Shanghai soup dumplings are big. Patio seating can get hot. Great presentation, you can taste the ingredients. Wait staff are nice but kitchen can be slow. Reserve seating and order many dishes early.
AmateurConciergeNovember 21, 2020These guys go by less is more from a menu perspective, but what they put forth they do well: chow fun, Kung pao, green beans all great. Skip the crispy noodle joint it’s not what you’re lookin for
Cubby TigJuly 12, 2018Every single item on the menu is delicious. I would eat the napkins if they said they’re edible. Love Chinese and haven’t eaten? Leave Austin.
Pedro Seguel VarasOctober 24, 2017Tangerine beef was wonderful. Very nice place and atmosphere. Great quality, but it is much more expensive than the tips make it look like.
Julie LoganMarch 10, 2016The Soup Dumplings and Eggplant are so bomb. Come with friends and try a bit of everything! It's all great 👌🏻- Andrew AlvarezDecember 9, 2016Green beans, spicy wontons, soup dumplings, tangerine beef, salt & pepper squid were all delicious. Only thing that disappointed was the wine, but that's because my GF likes small, boring reds.
Sam DJanuary 5, 2017The soup dumplings were lovely, Wu Chow has a great vibe and I can't wait to try their dim sum
Maddi CermakJuly 16, 2016The tenderloin pork steam dumplings were very good, 5 for 8. I'm a student, the one $ is not accurate for me, but maybe for richer people.- Divya MulanjurOctober 3, 2016Soup dumplings are amazing! The cocktails are great too. Some served in fun containers. The place is definitely not cheap.
Beth GossipJanuary 25, 2024The soup dumplings are overrated, but everything else was so good, we went back 2 days later. Bottomless water and Diet Coke made it great.- Everything we tried was fantastic both for dinner and dim sum! I loved the lion head meatballs!
SlayphanieApril 9, 2017It's a cool atmosphere and I liked that the waiters are knowledgeable about the food. The pancake and chicken bao are good.
LukeDecember 23, 2016The seafood birds nest is unique and fresh. The soup dumplings came leaking, but nobody is perfect
Rossy BenavidezOctober 11, 2016We had the Soup dumplings, green beans and yu xiang pork tenderloin and everything was delicious!
Sheyla ConcepcionMarch 8, 2016It's a pretty fancy place. They serve great drinks and the food's good.
- AmateurConciergeSeptember 22, 2024Pretty decent Chinese in down town. Green beans, salt and pepper shrimp
Vina OrtizNovember 12, 2015Soup dumplings are LEGIT. If you've gone to Joe's Shanghai in NYC you'll like them here. Obsessed with the homemade chili oil! Thanks CK! 👍🏼
KevinMarch 20, 2019Honestly not sure what the hype is... everything we had was mediocre at best - minus the soup dumplings, which were excellent. The green beans didn’t stack up against all the amazing reviews 🤷🏻♀️

"Great dim sum and Asian fusion spot. Def try sui mai, soup dumpling, bake choy & mushroom, and scallion pancake!"
Sandeep Madhur - 7.6
"This is a great place for authentic, but approachable Chinese food. The staff isn't super fluent in English, but that shouldn't deter anyone as they are very friendly. The restaurant is very clean!"
