My daughter chose Wu’s for her birthday dinner, and what a wonderful place for a celebration! I reserved a table for nine in advance, and when we arrived at 7:30 on Tuesday, the house was packed. Peking duck seemed to be on every table, and about a third of the diners were enjoying Wu’s $600-$700 crabs.
My daughter asked if she could order a whole Peking duck, and of course, I said yes. Then she asked about ordering a crab, I wasn’t sure if she was joking, but she looked serious! We ended up having their famous garlic chicken, salt and pepper shrimp and squid, mapo tofu (a bold choice by her new boyfriend at a Cantonese restaurant, but it turned out decent), bok choy, string beans, a tender beef and onion dish, and wonton soup. Oh, and something they called Peking duck… but it somehow came with four legs. 
Everything was at least good, but the standouts were the wonton soup, the four-legged “duck,” and the shrimp. The only photo I managed to snap was of a stunning suckling pig being served at another table. I’d love to try it someday. It looks like it could feed 5-6 people. Anyone up for it? Maybe when BBQ aficionado @FlemSnopes is in town?
The service was top-notch: no corkage fee, they let us bring in a cake, gave us a cash discount, and the entire room sang Happy Birthday for my daughter.
Such a fun and memorable evening!
Ps the sucking pig is bigger than it looks in the photo…also, give a shout if you find the photo objectionable and I’ll take it down.
