   The food here is absolutely amazing as is the service. The house cocktails are a perfect compliment to the food. I will definitely be back.

   Went for weekday happy hour wasn't too crowded but that can vary daily. Food quality was excellent - we liked everything that we had, and servers were very attentive.

   Thank you for taking the time to write this review, Mark. We're so glad to hear that the service was on point and everything came out as expected or better. Especially on a busy service like, Mother's Day. So glad you chose to celebrate with us.

   It's been a couple years since I've been to Wu and this was always a Capitol session must. Surprised to see it wasn't packed like was always a problem of getting in in the past. Food was great and a waiter in training made a mistake and brought a chicken dish that is done the same as the shrimp dish we wanted. When I told the experienced waiter she quickly said no problem and brought a shrimp order and didn't charge for the chicken. The chicken was actually good and would order next time. Dumplings (both pork and chicken) was a great start. Green dragon cocktail was very good. I look forward to not waiting as long to go back.

   Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, Drew. I'm glad to hear you had a great experience and look forward to seeing you much sooner than a couple years. It you liked the dumplings you should try our Sunday Dim Sum service. More dumplings and fun bites that you can't find on the lunch or dinner menu.

   Wu Chow has been a staple in my life for the last 6 years or so.. This is by far my #1 go to place to eat, to entertain, to celebrate. I bring ALL of my people to Wu Chow. Not to mention 90s Hip Hop is the soundscape at all times. #Heaven I am a bit of a snob when it comes to how food feels in my body and Wu Chow always delivers AWESOMELY. This is probably the ONLY place I will eat fried ANYTHING. Favorites: Wu Chow Special Fried Rice Braised Eggplant (The garlic sauce is INSANE!) Deep Fried Szechuan Chicken Soup Dumplings Salt and pepper Shrimp Local Mushrooms Chicken and Taro Egg Rolls Spicy Cucumbers I can go on and on... Just go there. Tell em Tah sent you.

   I used to be a fan of WuChow and when in the right mood, certain dishes (Tangerine beef and eggplant) are enough to bring you back. But the last two dinners have not been up to their usual standards. The service staff are nice, but clearly there are not enough of them to service the volume. And the parking situation is horrendous. LA-Z parking charges $30 for a 2 hour minimum and usually there is nowhere else to park. Overall, I don’t anticipate going back to that location but am excited to try their new location on Lamar.

    20 minute prep time for dim sum, but they came out room temperature. Cumin Lamb was not hot either. Everything else was good.
