Ling Wu at Lantana Place

Visited Ling Wu on a Saturday night with two friends. We had a reservation through Resy, which definitely helped since the place was busy. We ordered crispy chicken dumplings, chicken basil dumplings, Peking duck, and scallion pancakes. The food was decent overall, but not perfect. In my opinion, a few dishes felt a bit oily. The Peking duck was good, but it didn’t quite justify the price for me. For drinks, we had sparkling wine and Diet Coke, which were fine. The ambience was the highlight of the evening — beautifully done, upscale, and perfect for a dinner outing. The service was decent and attentive enough without any major issues. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, mainly because of the ambience and setting. With a bit more refinement in flavors and balance in the dishes, the f

I had a very pleasant experience at this Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere is welcoming and nicely decorated. While it may feel a bit small at first, the interior is spacious, comfortable, and great for conversation. The service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone from the host to the bartender and servers, was friendly and attentive. We started with the Basil Chicken Dumplings, which were highly recommended and did not disappoint. They were crispy, full of flavor, and paired perfectly with the sauce. We also ordered the Veggie Fried Rice, which had great flavor. A small suggestion would be cutting the vegetables a bit smaller for easier eating and presentation, but overall it was very good. We finished with the Kung Pao Chicken with Cashew Nuts, which was delicious and well

Quick service, delicious food. The Ling soup dumplings, kung Pao chicken with cashew nuts, veggie fried rice were all great! Nitpick: asked for our dishes to be extra spicy, but didn't get them. Waiters seemed nice, but in a hurry. Surprisingly pretty packed for a Monday night.

Ling Wu is hands down our favorite dumpling spot in Austin and a place we never skip when we’re in town. The food is consistently excellent, and the experience as a whole keeps us coming back. The soup dumplings never fail—perfectly made, full of flavor, and incredibly satisfying every single time. You can tell a lot of care goes into the menu, and it shows with every bite. On top of that, the specialty drinks are always a fun surprise, creative, well-balanced, and a great complement to the food. What really elevates Ling Wu, though, is the staff. Team members like Jake are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful, making the experience feel welcoming and personal rather than rushed or transactional. If you’re visiting Austin and love dumplings, Ling Wu should absolutely be on you

Visited Ling Wu last last week, and had mixed experiences. The ambiance was beautiful and the wait staff were super friendly. Got seated right away despite not having a reservation. Food was a hit or miss. The Onion Pancake with potato curry was just meh, but the dumplings were a highlight delicious and cute presentation in a steam boat box! Main courses were a major letdown though. My Szechuan Potato Glass Noodle was odious, and the Mei Choy Pork Belly had a repugnant sauce that overpowered the dish. Unfortunately, won't be returning.
