Little Wu

There aren’t a ton of places downtown to get a hot bowl of noodles on a chilly Austin afternoon, but when the craving (and the weather) strikes, we like to head to Little Wu in the Fareground food hall. It’s from the folks that run Wu Chow (but it’s littler), featuring the same popular soup dumplings plus lamian Chinese noodle bowls. Get the Sichuan red braised beef lamian bowl—with long, pulled wheat flour noodles—and we can pretty much guarantee you’ll forget about the cold walk back to the office.
