Wu's Cajun Sea Food is a great addition to the Charlotte Asian fusion restaurant scene. I was very impressed with their take on the fusion of Louisiana low country eats and classic Asian dishes.
The menu has a wide variety of options and it took us a minute to really figure out our top choices.
My friend and I decided to share a Clam Boil with Asian flavored butter, the BBQ shrimp and the Gumbo Ramen. Our table also ordered the Crab leg boil with Chili Garlic flavored butter, the Kung Pao Cauliflower and the Grilled Scallion noodles.
Overall everything we ordered was delicious. My favorite being the BBQ shrimp with the grilled bread and the clam boil. Our Asian flavored butter was kinda chunky but added great flavor to our clams. The clams were also seasoned. The BBQ shrimp still has the shell on them but the sauce on them make up for the mess you make peeling them. I enjoyed dipping the bread in the remaining sauce. I was kinda worried that the portion on the boil would be kinda skimpy but I was mistaking. Our one complaint was the Gumbo Ramen. It was not my favorite. I'm not sure if it's the fact the noodles or made in house and I'm personally not a fan of homemade ramen noodles or it was the combination of flavors. It was also not warm when we got it so everything had kinda thicken up and there wasn't much of a sauce.
I am very intrigued by the drink and dessert menu so I will be back to sample some of those items soon.
The service, decorations and atmosphere is very nice. We got there right before they started a wait list and had an amazing booth in the back of the restaurant. Also the parking lot is tiny so be mindful of that.
