First time dining here. Amazing vibe. Service, food, and drinks were top notch and portions for a tapas plate were very generous. We had children with us and they were very accommodating in creating plates that kids would enjoy. Would highly recommend this place.

The beauty of Wusong is the amount and deliciousness of the veggie/vegan options. We had one vegetarian in our group, but we ordered all veggie small plates so everyone could have a taste of everything. I think the winner was scallion pancake quesadillas, but everything else (tempura, lemongrass dumplings and summer rolls) was incredible. Add the cocktails, eclectic decor and friendly vibe and it's a perfect night out.

Love the place. I’ve had the braised lamb twice in a row, and I bring home enough for my next day lunch. The helpings are generous. My companion had the flounder twice in a row, so I’ll have to try that the next time.
