Reviews & Tips

  I was there for dinner. Me and my bf ordered  chef special's pork ball and Three cup chicken. Both dishes are great. three cup chicken is better and tasts almost like original Taiwanese food. I would go there for their special food that  I don't find it in regular Chinese resturant in this town. If I just want beef broccoli I would choose less expensive restaurant.

  Delicious!!!!! My husband and I went to Wu's for a Saturday lunch. He especially enjoyed the potstickers and dipping sauce. Fresh and delicious. I ordered green beans, and they accommodated my off-menu request to add tofu. Much to my surprise, the tofu was exceptionally good: cut into small cubes, creamy on the inside, and breaded with a crispy crust.  Service was hyper-attentive. Three different servers asked for our drink order -- before we even got the napkins on our laps. My only request (if management is reading this) is to add a non-fried spring roll to the appetizer options. Vegetarian, if possible! Thanks for a great lunch!!

  We (my wife, son and I) went here for lunch today (Saturday, 8/20/11).  We were warmly greeted by a young Asian woman and shown to our table. Our server was a middle-aged Asian man who was very nice and accomodating.  He quickly brought the water (without ice) that we asked for, and showed us both the lunch menu and the regular menu.  He also mentioned that the Dim Sum was available.
  
  Looking over both menus, I saw that this place, while it does have authentic as well as "Americanized" dishes: I would call it "Pricy".  The Dim Sum items, which come in single pieces/servings (or sometimes two to eight pieces) per order, were prices from $2.95 to $8.95 per order.  This is quite a bit higher than the $1.50-$3.00 per order that I'm used to seeing in San Francisco.  The lunch specials were similarly priced: $6.95-$8.95.
  
  I had the "Hot Braised Delight" lunch special ("Shrimp & chicken breast cooked in a homemade chili tomato sauce"), which I ordered "Medium" spicy.  It came with about 1/2 bowl of rice, soup (I ordered the chicken corn soup), and a small egg roll.  Very tasty, and not too spicy!
  
  My wife had the Mu Shu Pork, which also came with some rice and egg roll.  The pork came wrapped in two separate pancakes, but without the usual hoisin sauce (aka "Plum" sauce).  The server quickly brought some sauce when she asked for some.  The dish was tasty, but the pancakes were falling apart, so she had to eat it with a fork instead of picking them up and eating them like burritos.
  
  My son had the "Wu's Crispy Shrimp" ("Crispy shrimp tossed with walnuts in a Chef's spicy sauce"), and this also came with rice and egg roll.  This was also very tasty.
  
  We shared a double order (four buns) of Steamed Barbecue Pork Buns from the Dim Sum list.  These have been the closest thing I've had to the steamed pork buns I grew up eating in SF.
  
  So...final verdict: good, friendly, fast service, with plenty of good food at a slightly high price in a nicely clean and decorated location.

  I'm always up to try new restaurants, especially good chinese food. I honestly had high hopes for this place.Unfortunately, it failed to deliver.
  
  Pros:
  -This place is pretty big and great for big parties.
  -Good menu selection with a variety of different kinds of chinese food
  
  Cons:
  -Where do i begin? There's so many of them.
  -The service was HORRIBLE  on opening day. It seems like they didnt quite have their act together and everything was disoriented. It also seemed like there was a lack of communication because a lot of things didnt get done unless we asked multiple times.
  -We met the owner, michele, and were hoping that she would be more cordial towards her customers. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. It seemed so fake and that she didnt care about our experience.
  -I love xiao long bao. They're the little soup dumplings. When i saw it on the menu, i wanted to order it. I was super excited until it came out cold and lacking the juice needed for such a dumpling. Fail.
  
  To be honest, I dont think i'd return. The food and service are lacking. Isn't that the reason we all go out to eat? Food + Service. (sigh) Better luck elsewhere.

  I was visiting some family friends in Ft. Wayne during a very brief family vacation and they said there was a Chinese restaurant that they've been waiting a while for that finally opened.
  
  The restaurant looked nice and when we seated my family and I looked over the menus. We were pleased to find out that they serve many of our favorite dishes that we used to getting back in California. However, that's about all the positive things about the experience at this restaurant.
  
  We asked for tea and a round of waters for our entire party SEVERAL times before finally getting it and our food came out a lot slower than we would've liked. On top of cold food, some dishes were over salted, others under. Some foods were over fried, and some not fried enough. There's not even a consistency when it comes to mistakes with this place! If I knew I was going to eat bad food, at least I want to know how it's bad. What's worse is that when we initially asked our waitress to possibly have something changed to the dish so that we could have a more pleasurable experience, she told us that it was just how the dish is made.
  
  I won't even get into how we had to call out to her several times just to get her to come over once.
  
  At the end of the meal, I was pretty shocked to see that the adults weren't fighting over the bill. You know it's bad when Asian parents don't fight for the bill.
  
  Horrible overpriced food. Even worse service.
