Dim Sum Restaurants in Austin, TX

“I reserved online for my daughter’s birthday and got into town an hour earlier and they still were able to accommodate us. At the table with the menus was a birthday card with a really nice and meaningful note on the inside. Staff, drinks, and food were amazing! Definitely recommend checking this place out.“

“Great atmosphere, tasty food! We will be back!“

“Love this place! The food is so good“

“Food was good. Server was friendly and efficient for being the only server there. They are looking to hire more staff. Price not outrageous.“

“Wow, absolutely the best Chinese cuisine experience of my life.
From the first bite to the last, everything was exceptional: the food, the creativity, the flawless execution, the warm service, and the authentic kitchen atmosphere. The intimate setting made it feel even more special, and the staff were incredibly welcoming.

We started with a stunning goldfish-shaped dumpling soup (almost too beautiful to eat), followed by an unbelievably flavorful Peking duck and the beautiful Chinese treasure box...and the delights just kept coming. (Come hungry, you won’t want to miss a single thing.) Every dish was a surprise, artistic, thoughtful, and full of flavor. What truly made the experience unforgettable was Ling herself. Hearing the personal story behind the meal added so much heart and meaning. She is truly one of Austin’s precious gems.

This was a once in a lifetime culinary experience I will never forget! Thank you, Ling and Jimmy.“

“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 your list. It’s a place we recommend without hesitation and one we’ll keep returning to.“

“Great selection of dumplings, scallion pancakes, Cucumber salad. Smaller seating area, but perfect for a fun dumpling sampling date night. You can also bring frozen dumplings home after. House made sauces were a huge bonus! Would recommend adding this dumpling spot to your list!“

“Was visiting from Houston and looking for dinner options. I found this spot on Yelp and wanted to give them a try because of the beef noodle soup photos.

Service was attentive for dinner on a Saturday evening. We got the beef noodle soup, bbq baos, sticky rice in lotus wrap, and honey walnut shrimp.

Everything was delicious and they also had a big container of home made chilli oil that was so good! I told my friend who lives in the area he should add this place to his rotation!

The lady who closed us out was sweet and we look forward to returning soon.“

“This is the best dumpling restaurant.
I highly recommend trying the spicy soup dumplings shown in the fourth photo I uploaded, they are a must. I’m actually very bad at handling spicy food, but these dumplings were deliciously spicy.

I was also very satisfied with all the other dishes in the photos. The staff were kind, and even the shape of the tableware was unique and special.

I would love to come back again… but since I’m moving to another state, I guess I’ll only be able to taste them again in my dreams.

Thank you for the wonderful meal.“

“Food is just amazing ❤️🎈❤️ will be back soon“

“The best dim sum this side of the Colorado!“

“So glad New Fortune is back and it's closer to me. We go for the dim sum but of course we always order something from the regular menu. This time, we ordered Salt n Pepper Shrimp and Szechuan Style Green Beans along with a few dim sum items.“

“When in Westlake, and looking for delicious Chinese this would be the spot. From the moment you enter everyone is smiling, music is playing, and it’s definitely upbeat! Service is almost instantly greeted with water, and someone asking what they can get for you. I love this kind of experience. Food is amazing, and the price is good. Love you guys!“

“It is really good. Have to try the stir fried noodle🍜, it was really good! Also try the spicy edamame 🫛. Vegan noodle 🍲 is also really good! There is a tv📺 going on which is fun to watch! And you can watch live noodle making while you wait for your food. They also give you scissors✂️ and kids👫 chopsticks! 🥢“
