The food was good. The drinks were a ripoff and tasted watered down. The wine was about 12 dollars for the smallest glass ever. The service was spotty but the people were pleasant. The place is very noisy and the outdoors seating is like being on a highway, extremely loud.

I enjoyed our mini brunch moment with my partner when we were waiting for some friends to head over to P6. I'll never say no to soup dumplings or baos so when my partner was craving something spicy, this seemed like a win/win moment. You place your order at the kiosk or you can ring a bell for a team member to come on out. We placed our order with the kiosk which was super nice since they had photos for visuals. My ordered consisted of the pork bao buns and soup dumplings. The soup dumplings come with a warning that they take 15 minutes to come out but they were well worth the wait! You can only grab the bao buns on the weekend from 12-5pm, but we really enjoyed them. This is like the little sibling of Wu Chow so it was nice to get a taste of it but saving a full dining experience for another moment. As for the noodles my partner made mala style. He gave it a thumbs up while slurping his food away. The broth was really good to his accord.

It was good but waaay too expensive for the quantity you receive!

This is my 3rd time here and each time the service, food and energy in Little Wu has gotten better each time. King orders the soup dumplings and I must say it’s safe to say that this is his favorite spot to visit for dumplings. If you’re lucky, you may witness the ladies making the dumplings by hand while weighing each piece of dough ? and filling the pot stickers meticulously. Milan and Keilen are both 1of 1s ? ? ?

I normally don’t place bad reviews but the flavor of the food I’ve ordered had no resemblance to Chinese cuisine. I’ve gotten the sesame noodles with mala, but somehow bit into an overpowering flavor of black vinegar, with very little Szechuan peppercorn nor sesame. I would suggest the owners perform a thorough quality review of the food.

Little Wu is located and the Fairgrounds Austin which is a food court style eatery. Fairgrounds, Austin has lots of different food options. I personally go to Little Wu each time. Their food is always delicious. As you wait for your food you can watch them prepare the potstickers and dumplings.

Could notrate the food. Never got it. Ordered at 710 and got a text at 852 saying it was done. Guy quit mid shift and left a note on a receipt. The other guy didn't speak English and couldn't help. Atleastt 30 customers left waiting and no food. What the hell. Please refund mrpe 17.50 please.

The orders are placed into an iPad by the customer, and they're apparently having some staffing issues. Saturday night with a huge nearby convention, there was one older gentleman who was experiencing his 2nd day at work, and another guy who spoke no English. Who puts a new guy in on a Saturday, downtown, with someone he can't communicate with? So the poor newbie walked. Anyway about a dozen of folks waited well over an hour and never got food. Luckily there were cheap happy hour cocktails at the Faregrounds bar and new friends were made. Rumor has it that we are getting refunds. We'll see.

I was trying something from each stall at Fareground on a beautiful Saturday afternoon while visiting Austin. I love all things Asian, so at Little Wu, I ordered the beef potstickers and the pork soup dumplings. The soup dumplings are made to order, so they let you know it takes about 12 minutes. So worth the wait. I enjoyed every bite of both the potstickers and the soup dumplings, both absolutely perfect. The guy that waited on me was great, he helped me narrow down my choices. You can order on the kiosk or with a live person. I highly recommend Little Wu!

Food was okay, I got the veggie dumplings and its no different then what u could buy frozen. Its expensive for what it is, and kinda weird you order on a kiosk and nobody is there yet the kiosk asks for a tip of course…
If you are looking for Dim Sum, this is not the place. Me and my wife stop by for lunch before heading back to the Florida. This place was just for downtown office snack. All the food are not the full size. We are always looking for dim sum everywhere we go and never pay 6 small dumplings for $13 plus service charges with two entry soup. Finally if your are any type of Asian this place not for you. We from south east Asia. Thanks

Finally got to try these guys last week. Enjoyed the fried dumplings I got... I tried 2 varieties. Prices are kind of insane, though. $8 for 3 seems a bit ridiculous, even for Downtown Austin. I enjoyed it, but not sure I'd go again at these prices.

First, there was a little gong that said "gong for service". After "gonging" with no service, I realized there was a little kiosk to place our orders. My order for 5 people came out to $85, but after the service charge to use the kiosk it was $104. An employee kept bringing food to the counter, however, he never called a name or number so we kept walking up to check the receipts sitting on the trays. Although the customer service was non-existence, I hoped that the flavor would match the raving reviews. To my disappointed the food absolutely sucked. We left half of it. Not sure what people like about this place. I can only imagine that it's a bunch of college kids who are possibly drunk leaving great reviews.

Food was delicious but definitely expensive for the portion of food- this is not the place to go to if you are looking for a full size meal, feels more like appetizers. Would recommend having more pictures of the food. Went over for pick up and it was ready in time, I did not get to interact with anyone so can’t really make comments on the customer service. I did want to mention that my personal info such as name, email and phone number was on the receipt and stapled on the bag. They place all orders ready for pick up in the counter. anyone can read your info easily. Paid $8, $11 after tip for these 3 small dumplings.

Really disappointing, I've tried the soup dumplings twice hoping that they were better super fresh-they are not fresh, nor good. They taste as if they are left open in a freezer. The dumplings themselves are super doughy, and the filling is ok, but little soup within. The vinegar sauce tasted like jelly with vinegar, not good at all. $8 for these 3 dumplings felt like too much for the quality.The crispy dumplings were hard and chewy, hardly crispy. The dough was so thick it was unappetizing. The pork ball inside was rubbery and dry. I definitely won't be going back here. Julie's Noodles is a bit farther away, but much more tasty dumplings and double the dumplings for the same price.
