Rachel McGruder

Was 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.

Fantastic 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.

Shanghai 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.

These 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 Tig

Every 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 Varas

Tangerine beef was wonderful. Very nice place and atmosphere. Great quality, but it is much more expensive than the tips make it look like.

Chris Hart

Came for lunch , have never had such amazing eggplant .

Julie Logan

The Soup Dumplings and Eggplant are so bomb. Come with friends and try a bit of everything! It's all great ????????

Andrew Alvarez

Green 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 D

The soup dumplings were lovely, Wu Chow has a great vibe and I can't wait to try their dim sum

Maddi Cermak

The 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 Mulanjur

Soup dumplings are amazing! The cocktails are great too. Some served in fun containers. The place is definitely not cheap .

Beth Gossip

The soup dumplings are overrated, but everything else was so good, we went back 2 days later. Bottomless water and Diet Coke made it great.

Lia Koutelou

Everything we tried was fantastic both for dinner and dim sum ! I loved the lion head meatballs !

Parth Patel

The okra is the best I've ever had

Slayphanie

It's a cool atmosphere and I liked that the waiters are knowledgeable about the food. The pancake and chicken bao are good.

Luke

The seafood birds nest is unique and fresh. The soup dumplings came leaking, but nobody is perfect

Rossy Benavidez

We had the Soup dumplings , green beans and yu xiang pork tenderloin and everything was delicious!

Top tier Chinese food at a fair price ! You won't be disappointed.

Soup 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! ????????

Soup dumplings and tangerine beef are mind-blowing.

Soup dumplings

Honestly 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 ????????‍♀️
