We sat quickly after checking in for reservation.Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. We loved our dishes especially the green beans! We were given a complimentary veggie roll appetizer and a rose after dinner to celebrate Valentine’s! We will be back again soon!

I had such a great experience at Wu Chow! The atmosphere was stylish yet inviting, and the service was excellent. The pork belly dumplings were incredible, perfectly tender with so much flavor in every bite. The Sichuan Deep-Fried Chicken had the perfect amount of crunch and just the right level of spice. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced, and the cocktails were a great complement to the meal. I’d definitely go back for another delicious night out!

The dumplings were not cooked at all. Very doughy. Service and atmosphere was fine. I just didn’t like paying such high prices for food that wasn’t properly prepared or delicious.
