Citysearch

In Short – The late hours are the key. As the night progresses, you see a variety of people dining in or getting takeout, from families to students to various South Austin party-goers. The dining room is large and situated on a hillside. There's a smoking area and large, comfortable seats, making this a perfect place for long conversations. Dishes include Chinese staples like crab Rangoon, fried dumplings and chicken and broccoli.

If you don't mind Rattus norvegicus and Blattaria or enjoy funding a pace that violates tax and labor laws.

Ok Ok you want the truth? I'll tell you the truth.

I've been working at wanfu for about 2 months now so I've seen whats really going on

first, the remodeling, that was actually cause the health dept closed them down to take care of their rodent problem. well, the things are still there, their corpses fill the space in the walls (I was asked to remove them for $$) and the ones that are alive scratch around in the ceiling and walls

Blattaria (look it up)? they crawl in the egg rolls and soups, which sit out in the open for over 5 hours,

as well as their prefried chicken

they crawl over everything imaginable

they use windex / vinager to clean the tables (I tried to buy them de greaser and sanitizer, but they decided to use ALL of it on the floor along with bleach and ammonia

some understand this to form chlorine gas and can burn the mucus linings in your lungs/ nose, but they don't seem to care

health dpt threatened to close again because of the infestation, but they tried to fix it

then the health dpt did close / fine wanfu 1000$ for a grease trap underground overflow that resulted in filling neighboring parking lots with degrading food and grease and stink.

now a new manager has come in a tried to clean up the messes the woman running the place has created but instead he rather commit crimes such as sexual harassment (the girls where finally fired ... no explanation) physical abuse, and tip withholding

not to mention, I've never filled a w2 with them, but they still take taxes from me.

these are not opinions they are facts. I've seen it with my own 2 eyes and have taken direct action to address these issues with no results from the current woman owner and new manager

from ratts to roches to work ethic violations, health violations, safety violations, tax violations and others, its now up to you

don't forget to look for the red body fluid and feces in certain areas. just keep your eyes open and your mouth closed in this place

not so good. MSG filled food with not so good tasting dishes.

by loveisblind1 at Citysearch

I can sure taste the MSG that was filling my meal. It was late at night, and there was nothing else opened so I decided to come by here. The food does out come out pretty fast(probably premade). Well, obviously the food isn't traditional but the Mongolian beef is passable. The plain fried rice is not good so opt for steamed rice instead. THe Schezuan beef was not so Schezuan like. lol but its somewhat passable as a average filling meal. a lot of the dishes are filling but average Chinese food that you'd find in anywhere. Some of the dishes were way under average in my opinion. IF you want to be full, have fast service, and are hungry late at night, this may be the place for you. BUt if those conditions do not apply, I don't recommend coming here.

  • Pros: nice looking inside, fast service, open late, filling
  • Cons: MSG, not so good food

Don' Eat here!!

by brucebruce11 at Citysearch

As usual, Wanfu was one of my favorite places to eat at night. I had being going there for a while, despite the rumors that people said about that certain place. Some friends had talked about a rodent problem there, but I just ignored it, since the food was REAL good. Well, it happened that to my amazement, that we went wanfu one of those nights. We got there, starving at night and I ordered my usual. I was with one of my friends, and he ordered a tea. The HOST, not the WAITER brought the tea, and my friend ordered some lemons on the side. He came back, and brought them in his filthy, sordid HAND!!! I COULD NOT believe my eyes. He looked like he was on something, i dont know, but that was really nasty. We decided to stay, hoping he would not bring our food out. The waiter brought it out, so we felt ok. After eating half of my combination fried rice, i found a PIECE OF A RUBBERBAND in there. It was BLUE, AND IT LOOK PRETTY DIRTY. That had been enough for that night, and we left the place. The lady still charged us half. The point is, its not really the lady's fault, I know she is trying to run a nice business, but the people that work there are dirty. They need to get their stuff together and be professional about it. From that day, I decided not to eat there anymore, despite the delicious food they have their. I just would not recommend the place. There is another nice place called HAI KY. That is a very sanitary place and it is real good too. Very cheap too.
