Mr Wu: Reviews & Ratings
5 to fill a take away box with Chinese food!!! Name somewhere else that’s cheaper, yes I’ve had tastier Chinese food but for 5 you can’t go wrong. We actually shared a box as we were grazing and trying new foods most the day. You pay, fill your box and they allow you to sit outside and enjoy. Cheap and cheerful will be visiting again.
A great place to have extremely good food prepared in a homemade way. The place is very simple, staff not particularly friendly but polite. Food is offered in a canteen style way, meat plates excellent, same for vegetarian dishes. In total about 15 different trays offering different food. It is very difficult to eat good vegetables when eating out, here vegetables were excellent. All ingredients were high quality. We ate inside at the cost of 10 pounds for an all you can eat, drinks excluded. Cash only. I am Italian and my standard is usually high. Will come back any time I will be in London.
Been going here for years. Staff are... To the point. Food is great, and I'm never ill afterwards, which I think is a concern for some people! Good times. Cash only. But there are a few cash points about.
CASH ONLY So my best advice is get cash before you arrive. The buffet is around 10 per person, drinks around 2 each. The food was quickly replaced at the buffet and everything I ate was hot, and fresh. It's not a glamorous restaurant, but if you want a quick meal in China Town I highly recommend Mr Wu. There are many other restaurants if you want to go up market and pay more. Not suitable for wheelchairs and those with issues going up and down stairs.
Does exactly what it says on the tin .... Went for lunch got a 5 takeaway box good selection very tasty food play Tetris with loading your box up and you’ve got a very good for money meal , very happy indeed
I'll admit I saw this location on tiktok and thought I would check it out. I got the 5 box you can fill with as much as you can from the buffet. Food quality was good but the price and experience just grabbing what I wanted was great. Definitely going back!
Mr Wu’s have the best takeaway box anywhere in London. And at only 5, you cannot get better value for money. Lots of options from the buffet. Need to make this a regular stop.
The place is pretty basic. The vibe is simple, no frills, just a good spot for a quick meal. The food was nothing special—just your standard Chinese dishes, but it was decent for the price. Nothing fancy, but if you’re looking for something easy and affordable, it’ll do the trick!
