Mouth staring food made with fresh herbs and spices. We had several allergies of gluten, nuts, seeds, and coconut. The kitchen accommodated everyone allergies and didn’t compromised on taste.

The food and service were great. Parking next door cost $38 for two hours. The restaurant is extremely noisy but we were able to carry on a conversation.

The food was exemplary and no matter pork, beef, seafood or noodles, everything was equally delicious. The service was first rate, the dishes paced perfectly and the bar had a non-stingy pour. When I asked for a more private table, the hostess could not have been more accommodating. This is a special place for a great dining experience.

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!
