Wu Wei Din Chinese Cuisine

I don’t understand why there are so many good reviews. We decided to try it out since it’s listed on Plano top list of great restaurants. Everything we ordered was disappointing. Hot and sour soup: tasted like something from a cheap Chinese restaurant. Potstickers: just ok, not hot and dipping sauce low quality. Crab rangoons were barely warm and just ok with low quality sauce. Reminded me of those duck sauce packets. Kung Pow chicken: very bland, peanuts were not even freshly toasted, just dump on top like they almost forgot to add them. I added a ton of chili oil to give it flavor. Cashew basil shrimp was ok but the flavors were just not quality. Seemed like prepackaged food heated up. Szechwan beef was bland and oddly too sweet. Edamame was terrible, too soft and an ugly color as if they were leftover from before and just reheated, and very bland. Very underwhelming experience. Disappointing. We will never be back

Everything is pretty good. My impression 5 star. Dumpling — 4 to 5 star depending upon which one. The beef wrap is different, 4 star. Beef noodle soup is 4.5 star, not quite amazing but solid. I didn’t try any bubble tea so no grade. The fried fish in black bean sauce is 4 star but still very solid. Tofu with 1000 year old egg? Very Chinese so 4 star. For the 10 of us we spent $26/person.

We tried a variety of dishes at Wu Wei Din and had a great experience overall! The Beef Pancake Roll was my favorite—so flavorful and satisfying. The fried rice was a bit bland and the drinks were weak, but everything else was tasty and well-prepared. Check my photos to see everything we ordered! Definitely worth checking out in Plano.

The taste and quality of this restaurant is on par with other top tier Taiwan/Shanghainese restaurants. The soup dumplings are juicy with a thin skin, the beef rolls skin is crunchy but the cut of the cucumbers are too thick. The dough of the fried buns top is soft and the bottom is crunchy.

There’s a new restaurant in Plano that’s definitely worth trying. It has a great location with a nice patio, comfortable high chairs and booths, and a clean, well-decorated interior. The lighting is just right, and there’s even a bar area. The staff are polite, though most of the waiters speak only a little English. A lady at the reception greets you warmly, and a waiter escorts you to your table with a large menu full of delicious options. They specialize in Chinese cuisine and have xiao long bao (soup dumplings)! I ordered the truffle and pork xiao long bao—preparing it takes a bit longer, but it’s worth the wait. You get six pieces, perfect for one or two people if you’re ordering other dishes too.

Absolutely fantastic Taiwanese cuisine! Wu Wei Din is easily one of the best Chinese restaurants in Plano. The Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings) are a must-try—delicate, flavorful, and filled with perfect hot broth. The Braised Beef Noodle Soup is incredibly rich and comforting, and the Spicy Wontons have just the right amount of kick. Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh and authentic. Great atmosphere and attentive service, too. Highly recommend coming here for an amazing meal!

Really enjoyed the soup dumplings and the spicy wontons both were packed with flavor and super satisfying. We did have about a 15-minute wait to be seated, but once we got in, the food came out quickly. Totally worth it. Will definitely be back!

Got here around 5:30pm and beat the crowd! Started out with a few apps, then moved to fried rice and soup dumplings then ended the meal with a nice pot of jasmine tea. Service was excellent.

Ever since we moved to Plano about 4 years ago, we have been in search of a great Chinese restaurant in the area. Well Wu Wei Din is Taiwanese, but offers their creative take on Chinese food classics, and will now be a regular stop for us for dine-in and take-out food. A number of reviews have noted that Wu Wei Din has the best Won Ton Soup in the area .. well, we just had to put them to the test .. yes, the Won Tons were the absolute best we have had. You even know that the meal will be good starting with the tea that they served .. just a class-act. Also, they do a garlic green beans with pork that is amazing .. just can't figure-out what they do to those green beans to achieve that flavor and texture .. incredible. We will be heading back to try more items on their extensive menu. The ambiance is nice and the service is excellent. Highly recommended!

Was always curious about this place and decided to check it out. Everything is nice and clean. Staff was nice and attentive. We enjoyed everything and it was flavorful. Chicken fried rice was a little bland but great for the kids -chicken fried rice: 3/5 - pan-fried pork buns: 5/5 - pork soup dumplings 4/5 - scallion pancakes: 5/5 - spicy wonton - 4/5

I've visited Wu Wei Din several times since moving to the DFW area and it is definitely a hit! The restaurant can get busy especially on the weekends, so there might be a line but we have never had a super long wait. Service is also pretty quick once you put your order in! Pretty much everything we've tried at Wu Wei Din has been great, and some of my favorites include the Shanghai kaofu, pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork buns, and fried string beans. Highly recommend visiting here if you're looking for solid Chinese food that's similar to Din Tai Fung!

I've said it time and time again my favorite dumplings spot! This was our first time dining in and it was a great experience. The service is lightening speed fast, no fuss, hot and fresh food ready in minutes. I particularly loved the views of the trees outside the restaurant. It felt like a little escape from the city. Huge parking lot, and open views of the kitchen were a nice touch.

Place super packed on a Friday night at 6pm. Luckily we had reservations. But wow, every seat in the house was taken. Even though they were packed they were very fast! Servers came up and took our order for our 10 person group, including drinks and appetizers. And I would say about 10-15 minutes out they started serving. Which to me was very impressive. We sort of went family style, trying out each other's dishes. But I have to say I enjoyed their pork soup dumplings. And my flat beef noodle. I ate the whole plat for the flat noodles. The onions they have in it made it just right. Our crew was there for about 2 plus hours, and the wait staff was chill about it. Probably because we kept on ordering. Atmosphere wise this restaurant is a nice place for a full family or just date nite. The ambiance works for both small or large groups. Overall a great experience, glad we checked them out.

There were a lot of empty seats dinner time on a Wednesday. Food came out decently fast. Water tasted a bit off. - Xiao Long Bao 5/5 The skin is on the thicker side but to counter that it's VERY juicy. It's very juicy and there's a lot of broth inside the XLB. It's very hot so be careful. They bring you a side of ginger in black vinegar, which you can add soy sauce and chili oil. Ask for more ginger! - Spicy Pork Wontons 4.4/5 Almost tasted like din tai fung! The taste is ALMOST there. Pretty yummy dish. - Hot and Sour Soup (S) 3.7/5 It wasn't that sour but it had a lot of ingredients and was pretty decent. They didn't have white pepper only black pepper, which I added. They also put a scoop of chili oil on top, which is unique. - Beef Flat Noodle 1.8/5 I thought the beef was over cooked and too chewy, and the whole dish lacked a little bit of seasoning. - Salt and Pepper Shrimp 3.7/5 Fried shrimp pieces tossed with bell peppers, onions, and Jalapeno. It wasn't a lot of fried shrimp pieces as I'd expect. It was also on the saltier side. Came with a bowl of rice. Free parking in lot.

Was in town for business and came here for dinner. The staff were very kind and friendly. The food was good, I'd come back if in area.

Tasty food and very nice ambiance and decor inside the restaurant. I had the braised pork dan dan noodles which were very good. The pork was excellent and noodles cooked perfectly. A little heavy on the peanut sauce which was the only negative. Next time I'll try to order it with less. Generous portions, great prices, and attentive service. I will definitely be back again.

Amazing food. This is by far my favorite Chinese restaurant in DFW. It had a casual atmosphere and quick service (the food is made to order so while the wait can be long, they do a great job bringing out items as they become ready) You can taste the quality in every bite. The orange chicken is fresh from the kitchen, leaving it still crispy with every bite. The housemate noodles are chewy and do an amazing job at soaking up all of the flavors. The dumplings were fresh, chewy, and amazing. The fried rice and cucumbers were okay, nothing some chili oil can't fix. This is a family style restaurant, you'll have a hard time trying everything if you come with less than 4 people. Overall I will definitely be coming back and bringing more people. This restaurant lives up to the hype.

When my friend says Wu Wei Din is the only Chinese restaurant she likes in the DFW Metroplex, I had to check it out! The Xiao Long Bao and Wonton are very good. I also enjoyed the Dan Dan Noodles as well. I didn't care too much for the Stewed Combo. I thought it needed more flavor. The service was good and the food came out quickly.

We struggle to find decent Chinese food options in the DFW area, but Wu Wei Din is a great choice. They did not disappoint! Service was fast and our waitress was helpful with describing the dishes. The aesthetic and vibe is modern and clean. We tried veggie fried rice and Kung Pao shrimp. Both were prepared well. Not the best we've ever had, but not disappointing by any means. Our only disappointment is that they don't offer a non pork egg roll and they don't have a veggie or shrimp only dumpling. Not a deal breaker through! We will return.

Amazing food! Every dish I've tried has been so delicious. Even ones I wouldn't normally pick! But the pan fried pork dumplings are the best!!

I was in the area and stopped in for a couple appetizers with a a friend! This is their new location, and it is so spacious and clean. The service was really great! Our waitress was so kind and answered all our questions ! I ordered the blazing tofu and deep fried taro roll, my friend ordered the pork and shrimp wontons in spicy sauce, and we split scallion pancakes! Everything was fresh and so delicious !!! We will definitely be back!!

Wu Wei translates to "effortless action ". This is exactly how I felt after eating 2 appetizers and 2 entrees. If you're looking for your new go to Chinese restaurant, dig no further for I have the place for you. Top to bottom, everything was wonderful. You must get the spicy wontons. I don't know what's in the spicy sauce but magical. The pan seared pork buns were even better when dipped in the sauce. Of course the braised beef is a must. I bet it's even better in the cold. I recommend turning your ac all the way down then eating it in your car for best effects.

When it comes to Chinese/Taiwanese food, this is definitely a go to for me and my friends in the DFW. The service is extremely fast, the portions are good although I feel they have gotten smaller over the years, and the taste is exceptional. My friends who are Chinese say this is as close to home cooking as they can get here in Dallas so far. We really enjoyed the twice cooked pork as well as a chicken dish. But my favorites will always be the soup dumplings, and the wontons are a standup. The green beans were delicious as well and the eggplant. The one thing I did not care for was their scallion pancake. I thought I needed more of a crisp, but otherwise will continue to come. I really like this new location compared to the other one it is more spacious, more upgraded, and the tables are very comfortable.

Upon walking into the restaurant we got a whiff of walnut shrimp which came as a surprise because they don't have this on the menu. It's my favorite thing to order from Chinese restaurants so bummer we didn't get to have it here. The restaurant is very large and we didn't have to wait at all, service was quick we got seated immediately to our table. Definitely gave a family owned typical Chinese restaurant vibe which I loved. Sesame noodles lacked flavor so I don't know if I would order these again 6/10 Fried rice had zero flavor at all, I don't even think they put soy sauce in it 5/10 Beef noodles were also subpar but the best out of the carb heavy dishes, the tender meat carried it and the homemade noodles 6.5/10 Sautéed Bokchoy tasted exactly how you would expect but we definitely needed some veggies and they were fresh! 7/10 Truffle Xiao Long Baos were such a disappointment to me, everything here just lacked flavor overall for me, this also goes for all the xiao long baos we got (minus the shrimp one) 5/10 Spicy wontons is something I would definitely get again and again! Perfect flavor and the sauce was yummy. 8/10 Overall, I don't think I'd be returning as nothing stood out to me at all esp for a place that's known for their xiao long baos

Went here on date night. It was Sunday and we didn't have to wait at all. Don't bother with signing in for a table they didn't use it. You just go to host like normal. They were very busy with to go orders at the front which made it crowded. We ordered traditional bao soup dumplings, the 3 colors variety of dumplings and crab rangoons. The bao and dumplings I would give a solid 7 out of 10. The creasing on the dumplings was great which shows skills. They were beautiful. Very thin though so they fell apart picking them up so that was disappointing. The rangoons were Uber sweet and not my thing. Id give them a 2 out of 10. Overall I would go back but would try different things next time.

While visiting my sister in Dallas, we decided to check out this place as it's supposedly been referred to as a Din Tai Fung dupe online. Although I've never had DTF, this was really good and I definitely recommend it. Orange chicken - amazing, 10/10. I didn't originally order this but the table next to us had it and it looked really good and we got it and did not regret it. Mongolian beef - 6/10. Some pieces were chewy and there was barely any beef overall. Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) - 8/10. Juicy and tasty. Cucumber salad - 8/10. Good flavor and crisp. String beans - 8/10. Not the best I've had but definitely a great version. Chili oil wontons - 7/10. The wontons were good but the sauce was too much on the sour side. Noodles in spicy sauce - 6/10. The noodles were alright but again, the spicy sauce was lacking for me. Wish it was more savory and spicy than sour. Overall the food was pretty good. If I'm in the area, I would go back.

They updated their policy and it has not been an enjoyable experience ordering lunch. I work 15 mins away and want to save time by ordering first then drive there to pick up my food. Their online ordering system on their website after filling in all the info, gave me an error message. I called in and the lady asked for my cc number. I'm at work and will not be calling out my cc number out loud. So I drive there and now waiting for my food adding an additional 15 mins. Takes another 15 mins to drive so I now have 15 mins to scarf down my food. I guess I won't be back for lunch and give myself an hour and half next time or they could just fix their online ordering system. Tad bit annoyed

Delicious. Authentic dishes! Easy parking. Highly recommend all the Taiwanese appetizer dim sum dishes!

We had a great experience and my food was amazing! This was our first time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was relaxed and it was not too busy at the time we went about 1:00pm on a Sunday afternoon.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday around 11am and had a great experience. No line, got seated right away. I ordered the salt and pepper fish and it was delicious. It was crispy, just the right amount of salt, and a solid portion size. Also had the string beans on the side and they were super flavorful. Everything came out fast and hot. Overall, really enjoyed this laidback spot and would definitely come back.

Pan Fried Pork Buns, Chicken Udon Noodles The pork buns were fantastic! Yummy and steamy and carried well in the delivery. But small and relatively on the pricey side, but worth it imo to have it done right. The chicken udon noodles were sort of bland. They perked up a bit after I mixed in my dad's homemade chili oil though!

Ambient and large space. Wonton is pretty good. Soup dumpling has nice thin wrap but overall not very flavorful.

We've heard a ton of great things about Wu Wei Din, and it's safe to say that our expectations were met - everything we ate here was delicious. Especially the pork chop fried rice! Absolutely better than the one from Din Tai Fung, everything was so flavorful and came out incredibly fast. The menu is HUGE so it'll take a few visits to try more amazing food!

I recently moved to Plano and have been searching for the best food. This place has the most reviews currently so I had to check it out. Excellent choice and I can see why it's so popular, every dish I tried was absolutely phenomenal. From presentation to service to taste, I recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for some high quality Chinese.

Really delicious authentic Chinese dishes! We for the green beans, cucumbers, spicy pork wontons, and salt and pepper fish fillets. Everything was delicious. Service was quick and we were in and lot. I like that the restaurant was spacious and there is booth seating. Can't wait to be back to the other dishes.

Not sure why they opened another location six minutes away on the same street but decided to give this new location a try! Right off the bat this location is a lot bigger and has the same ambiance as their Lewisville location. I think the two locations off 15th street have very different vibes, this one is more fancy looking whereas the other location is more of a casual vibe. The food was pretty consistent with the other locations. I tried their new beef pancake and it was great - the cucumber adds a nice crunch to it. Service here was great, we were in and out of the restaurant within an hour and the food came out hot every time. Definitely recommend stopping by if you haven't yet!

Wu Wei din never disappoints. Food always arrives to your table fresh and hot! Fried rice, noodles and dumplings are my go to's.

This was a pretty solid spot! They have dishes that would cater to western and eastern tastes, and the food was pretty good quality. I LOVED the beef flat noodle here as well as the salt and pepper shrimp. It was relatively busy when I visited on a weeknight, however there is a lot of seating inside that can accommodate for larger groups and the food came out pretty quickly. There are large portion sizes here and the food is a good bang for your buck.

Was very impressed with this dining experience! Restaurant is super clean and welcoming with a calm comforting vibe. Service was fast and attentive. Everything we got was absolutely delicious. Some of the soupiest dumplings i've found. We also got the Chicken Udon Noodles which was a great flavorful dish. I had a Lychee Martini that was good. Would highly recommend and will be back.

Loved the service here. We got friendly and quick service and the parking lot was plentiful. Loved the soup dumplings and minced pork noodles. The dumplings were flavorful, steaming hot and paired nicely with the fine ginger and black vinegar and the noodles were perfectly bouncy in texture but the sauce was SALTY. The spicy wontons were my personal favorite! Didn't love the green beans, they're usually my favorite, but the ones here were drenched in soy sauce and super salty without much other flavor (ginger and garlic couldn't be tasted). Overall, would be back, but avoid the green beans!

Came to this spot on a Saturday evening for date night around 7 PM. There was about 15ish people ahead of us on the list but luckily (for us at least) they got scared of the wait and almost half of them left. We got seated in less than 15 minutes despite the crowded restaurant. We ordered a variety of food and were pleasantly surprised at the portion size and the quality of food! Our favorites in order were the pork xiao long bao, chicken flat noodles, orange chicken, and then the dan dan noodles. All of the food was super flavorful and came out quick! The dan dan noodles had a great peanut sauce but did have a subtle heat to the back end which was really nice on a cold evening. The xiao long bao were honestly some of the best soup dumplings that we've had in the area! The orange chicken were fried to perfection and not over sweet. The side of rice served with the orange chicken seemed like it had been sitting out but since it's just a side of white rice I won't hold it against them. The flat noodles were also delicious with the perfect cook. This was definitely the biggest entree. We also got a taro milk tea and a thai tea, which were both delicious as well. Since it was just the two of us we definitely took home some left overs for dinner the next day. With one order of the xiao long bao and maybe 1-2 entrees you would have PLENTY of food. We may have found our new spot in the area for chinese food and will definitely be back to try more things on the menu!

I have to come here each visit to Dallas because they make solid beef Noodle soup and Xiao long Bao. The soup is delicious, beef so tender, and the noodles have good chew. XLB is super juicy and has tasty pork filling. No issues with service.

Fast service and quiet inside. The dumpling were so yummy. Came piping hot and they were generous with the filling. The noodles were one note and needed another element to really elevate it. I liked it more with the black vinegar and chili oil. We also got a pot of oolong tea which was great with the meal.

Wu Wei Din is a classic Taiwanese staple in Plano and this was my first time going to their new location. Often called a "Din Tai Fung" dupe, it has finally expanded into a larger space. My family started off with 2 orders of the cucumber salad. The cucumbers had a snappy crunch and were so juicy from the sauce that they absorbed. Next came the pan fried pork buns and spicy pork wontons. I never think that spicy wontons are actually spicy but the wontons themselves were really good. The pork buns had a fried sesame bottom that adds a crunchy aspect to it. We later got shredded pork with dry bean curd and salt and pepper fish fillets. Both were solid but I especially liked the fish fillets with all the sautéed onions and peppers. Our last set of pork xiao long bao, potstickers, and beef pancake rolls came out. The soup dumplings were big and had a lot of soup in them, the potstickers were crispy and solid as well. The beef pancake rolls had a sweet sauce to them. I still think about the ones from steam dumpling to this day

I am a fan of the other Plano location and rated it 5 star...sadly, the same cannot be said of this new location. This was the absolute worst meal I have had in years. Inedible. Tasted like no name Chinese food at the mall that had been sitting out for hours. Thai Basil Chicken - the chicken was simultaneously rubbery and tasteless. I was excited to have a closer location but no.

My friends and I decided to order to-go from Wu Wei Din, and I've been wanting to try it for a while. Here's what we ordered: - Beef Braised Noodle Soup: It was good! (Back when I attended TXST, there was a restaurant in San Antonio with beef noodle soup that I absolutely loved, and I've been trying to find something comparable ever since. I do think Wu Wei Din did well, not as good as my favorite, but definitely met the standards). - Spicy Pork Wontons: Absolutely amazing! These were the standout dish for me. The sauce was spectacular - Sautéed Fried String Beans: Very tasty and well-seasoned. - Pork Chop Fried Rice: Unique and enjoyable. - Beef Flat Rice Noodles: good flavor and texture, pretty mediocre. Overall, everything we had was pretty great! The meal was very enjoyable, and I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. Wu Wei Din is a solid option for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Love the new location! Food was delicious as always, the Dan Dan Noodles with pork are definitely my new favorite.

The beef noodle soup has always been a favorite of mine since I started coming eight years ago. Wu Wei Din consistently serves excellent Taiwanese dishes, and while the flavors are definitely enjoyable, they don't always feel the most authentic compared to other spots around. Still, it's a solid go-to for a satisfying meal.

Came here for the first time in a couple years, and they're not here.... we'll they are, but they've moved. Brothers still own it, same chef, just a new location. The inside is a lot larger, and the open kitchen like Din Tai Fung. Congrats on the new location. Had the house special wonton, some hot/sour soup, truffle xiaolongbao, and for dessert had sesame balls and had to try the taro xiaolongbao. I've been craving chocolate Xiaolongbao for a while. The house flavor for the wonton is what keeps me coming back. It's like no other sauce I've had. Then the cutlet. Didn't have the stomach for the cutlet tonight though. The hot and sour soup is no joke. Us white people that love it at American Chinese places are in for a jolt. This is waaaaay hotter and a great spicy flavor. Wife loves it. Truffle xiaolongbao is expensive, but definitely something to try. Very "truffley". Not just some powder or oil sprinkled on. Wifey said it's very good, so it must be!!!

New favorite restaurant, so good! Have been a few times the last couple of weeks, that's how much we enjoy it. I have tried the crab rangoon, potstickers, orange chicken, mongolian beef, noodles, and fried rice. Everything has been delicious, esp the mongolian beef! Prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food.

Came here at the recommendation of many. This formerly was an On The Border and they remodeled it slightly. But the restaurant was clean, service was very attentive. Ordered egg rolls, kimchi and pork potstickers, fried chicken fried rice, sesame chicken and shrimp/pork soup dumplings. Everything tasted great and the food was actually served rather quickly. Spent about $72 with a fountain drink and trip. Will definitely be returning!

I'm honestly not sure. I will have to go back one more time. I walked in with din tai fung expectations since so many compare the two. Either way the string beans stole the show. Kung pao shrimp was decent and the rest was just okay... including the drink. I think I need to try it again

Visited again on 10/25/25 WHAT HAPPENED TO PORTION SIZE!!! I had visited like a couple weeks before this visit and things were fine. Then I come back a couple weeks later and everything SHRANK!! Looking to go elsewhere now.

We've been to Wu Wei Din a few times and I just realized I never wrote a review. I think I kind of take it for granted. When we visit our friends in Dallas area, this is a restaurant that we have to go at least once during our trip. I don't think I have ordered anything that I didn't like at Wu Wei Din. We've tried several things like beef noodle soup, dry pot, lazi chicken, little lamb skewers (on toothpicks), three cup chicken, scallion pancakes, and many others. And we always walked away full and satisfied. The service was always prompt and staff friendly. We'll continue to have this as our go-to restaurant when in the area.

The pork-chop with Fried Rice is awful. Tough to chew bc it is over cooked! Other stuff is merely average. Compares with Jeng Chi Restaurant which serves practically the same menu, Wu Wei Din is not worth it. TaiwaneseChicken nuggets also fried like dry wood!

Super yummy and super filling! I got the dan dan noodles and the spicy pork and shrimp wontons. The dan dan noodles had a slight kick and the sauce was peanuty, umami, and super flavorful. The sauce is thinner in consistency than what I'm used to with dan dan noodles, but still delicious. The noodles had a nice chew to them. As for the wontons, I wish the chili oil was a bit spicier, but they do have extra chili on the side if you want to add some. The waitress convinced me to get the pork and shrimp wontons rather than just the pork and that was definitely the move. The shrimp added a little bit of extra flavor. Would love to return and try other things!

Crispy pork chop over rice was flavorful and filling. Service was quick even though the place was packed.
