Wu Chow

Wu Chow Austin is one of the most beloved Chinese restaurants in the entire city. Located downtown, this restaurant offers an authentic dining experience that's sure to please even the most discerning of diners. From traditional dishes like Kung Pao chicken and sweet-and-sour pork to more modern takes on Chinese cuisine, Wu Chow has something to please every palate. Plus, the decor is absolutely gorgeous with dim lighting and upscale décor that make this place feel like a special occasion restaurant.

But for me, what makes them standout from all of the other Chinese food in Austin is it's the commitment to using farm-fresh ingredients to all its dishes and serving dishes from 8 different Chinese cuisines! (China is a HUGE place with many regional cuisines)

Asia Market may appear to be a typical grocery store, but it's far from ordinary. Tucked away in an inconspicuous corner lies a hidden gem - Asia Cafe! Don't be dissuaded by the cafeteria-like setting; this eatery has some of Austin's best authentic Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine. Locals brag about their delectable Fried Turnip Cakes and Xiao Long Bao Dumplings, but for me there is nothing better than the classic Youtiao: fried dough served with soymilk that balances both sweet and crispy flavours perfectly!
