Why it took us so long to check out this super-unique spot, I couldn't tell ya, but what I CAN say is that the hubby and I will definitely be back. Great place if you're looking for unique food and tasty cocktails, both of which you'll find at Wu's.
First and foremost, hubby and I met two other couples here on a Friday night at 7 pm. I'd made a reservation earlier that week thinking it would be slammed, but there was plenty of seating inside the restaurant and outside on the patio (our choice for the unseasonably warm February night). The crowd picked up as the night went out, but there were still a lot of empty tables. Maybe Wu's hasn't caught on yet with CLT foodies.
Anyway, our table shared the buttermilk fried calamari, which allowed all 6 of us to have a decent taste. I went with the chopped kale salad and added shrimp because our server said you can't go wrong with the salads - she was so right. The large slice of fried goat cheese sold me right off the bat, and it was super flavorful. WARNING: if you're not a spice person (I am not), be careful of the red peppers. They're really intense.
My husband got the blackened catfish sandwich and it was literally the size of his forearm. He ate the whole thing, so I'd say he was pretty happy with his choice.
