Delicious and unique Asian cuisine, with Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and Sichuan influences.

Couple of friends of mine recommended this restaurant so I gave it a try and it was so so. I might have ordered the wrong things that aren’t that good? We ate 10 differently dishes and I’m not nuts about it…

I came to try the dumplings and they definitely did not disappoint. I even took them to go and they were still very good. It was a bit of a wait.

Delicious and fresh, handmade, dim sum, dumpling(s) & soups. Definitely a wonderful and light treat. They also have lots of sweets and pastries to choose from as well and the most divine cold pineapple green tea. Definitely give them a try.

The baked goods here are excellent. The matcha crepe cake is a personal favorite. Everything is very light and refreshing, not heavy at all. They often have seasonal items that are very worth trying.I think that on the whole the food is also very good, but they have steadily cut down on their menu, presumably taking out the items that weren't selling as well. It just doesn't feel great to open up the menu and see 1/4 of it crossed out.But the dumplings are pretty uniformly excellent, especially the dragon dumplings. I've fallen in love with the shacha chicken noodles, but the hot & spicy beef salad is also definitely worth your time.My one big wish for this place is for them to invest in a drink machine, whether it be for regular soft drinks or for Boba. As-is, you have the option of a few bottled teas and bottled water. I understand why (space is at a premium), but it would be an awesome upgrade.Speaking of space, though, it's quite small and if you come at a busy time it's very likely there won't be open tables for 30+ minutes. Just plan well or call ahead!

Was craving some noodles!! Stopped by and had the Taiwan Shacha beef noodles. The broth and noodles remind me of childhood. The beef had a unique taste, it tasted like pork? I had the cucumber salad also, I wouldn’t get this again. The cucumber tasted very fragrant it didn’t have the chili oil flavor. But there egg tarts and dessert are the show of the show!

I’ve never had a bad experience at Wishing Town. Everything, from the food to the service, is amazing! Would highly recommend.

Food is so good! What a gem of Chinese dim sum in NOLA! We enjoyed every single dish and stuffed ourselves. The bakery was so unique and not too sweet, just perfect. My favorites were crawfish (siu mai) dumpling, a wonderful tasty fusion of Chinese and Cajun, and onion and beef gravy noodles! This is a must when stopping by NOLA! Close to airport too!
