About Us

Welcome to Ling Wu Asian Restaurant at the GROVE, a culinary gem in Austin, Texas, where authentic Chinese cuisine meets modern sophistication. Founded by the acclaimed Chef Ling Qi Wu, our Chinese Restaurant is a celebration of her rich culinary heritage and innovative spirit.

Chef Ling Qi Wu, a Fuzhou native, brings decades of experience from her early days in New York’s Chinatown to her transformative tenure as the dim sum chef at Austin’s Wu Chow. With a passion for preserving the ancient techniques taught by her grandmother, Chef Wu opened Ling Wu to share the vibrant flavors of Chinese and East Asian cuisine with Austin’s diverse food scene.

At Ling Wu, we specialize in artful dim sum, soul-warming soup dumplings, and bold dishes like Sichuan peppercorn alligator and Peking duck with foie gras paste. Our menu draws inspiration from Chef Wu’s Beijing roots while incorporating Southeast Asian influences, offering a unique fusion of tradition and creativity. Every dish is crafted with the freshest ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible, to deliver an unforgettable dining experience.

Nestled in the vibrant Grove neighborhood, our restaurant offers a trendy yet intimate atmosphere, complete with outdoor seating and a full bar featuring signature cocktails like the Electric Buzz. Whether you’re joining us for a lively dim sum brunch, a family dinner, or a special occasion, Ling Wu is a place to connect, savor, and celebrate.
