Very good food and service, we particularly enjoyed the Peking duck and the shredded chicken in garlic and chilli sauce

Mixed views on this … we both ordered soup to start followed by crispy garlic chilli beef and fried rice … the soup was poor but edible and very very hot heat wise (microwave ?) … the crispy chilli beef was ghastly if you didn’t know it was supposed to be beef you could not tell, it was tasteless and lacked crispness as for the fried rice it was a paltry portion and lacked flavour … on paying the bill Simon (the owner?) knocked of the price of the beef dishes but chose to still charge for the fried rice ! One without the other was pointless !!! This place is expensive £4.50 for prawn crackers 🙈 (man’s a fool) go to Joys Kichen or Wens for great food at the right price with peerless service with a smile.

This might be one of the best restaurant in Leeds. Food has great quality, the service is smashing!!! The staff is so professional and friendly giving you a great experience spending some quality time. Mention for a price: prices are not high, and you are in Chapel Allerton. Amazing restaurant

Excellent gluten-free menu with plenty of options, and the staff took great care with allergen orders, providing gluten-free alternatives (e.g. soy sauce). The service was outstanding-polite, friendly, and attentive. They even surprised the birthday girl with a scoop of ice cream and a candle. Thank you for a lovely meal!

Edit**** Rating changed from 1 star to 5 star. Further to the review below, revisited G-Woo. This place has really taken on the feedback left by myself and others. They have really made an effort to get back to the reputation of the previous owners. Food was great and as good as it used to be. Staff were friendly , helpful and very attentive. Good work G-Woo. Will happily return. (Since under new ownership, this place has gone downhill. This used to be my go to chinese restaurant since it opened in 2011 however I will now need to look elsewhere. I made a reservation tonight, when i arrived at the restaurant, my family and i were told that there was no booking under our name. Obviously very confused by this, i showed the member of staff the call log and explained that this was confirmed. He told me again that no booking existed but he would find out. This was followed by radio silence for around 15 minutes until i went to the member of staff again to find out what was happening. Once again, my family and i were left waiting with no update for another 10 minutes. At this point, we left as we felt ridiculous waiting. The member of staff was truly the most unhelpful person i have ever come across. Very disappointing, will not be returning. You have lost a loyal customer)

Decided to return to G-Wu with the family to find that it has changed hands and rebranded to G-Woo since we last visited. Looking it up, we were nearly put off looking at some of the negative reviews but we resolved to give it a go and make up our own minds. I'm glad we did, because it was as good as we remembered! We were a group of six and chose the combination starter for three with some extra prawn toast, then the crispy chilli beef, lemon chicken, chicken udon and king prawn chow mein. This was a perfect amount for our group and we couldn't fault any of it. Definitely still one that we recommend.

Amazing, coeliac safe food! Cannot recommend this enough for the gluten free community (and everyone else too)! A separate, clearly marked gluten free menu which included salt and pepper chips, prawn toast, many sauces for stir fry options (eg satay, OK), and gluten free noodle dishes. The choice was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious. My non gluten free partner also loved his Singapore noodles. Very friendly, professional service from all staff, and the nicest Chinese I've ever had (including before I had to eat gluten free). The restaurant is also very clean and looks beautiful with ming vases and traditional art work. A lovely place to celebrate an occasion. Thank you so much! We will be back!

I can not believe they have changed ownership! I’m absolutely devastated, this used to be my favourite Chinese but I went there last night and the food has seriously gone down hill even though the prices haven’t! They still have a good range of vegan options but they need to reflect the lower quality with lower prices. I probably won’t go here again! Ahh man.. this one hurt!!

This has been my favourite Chinese restaurant for many years. However tonight we were served terrible food. The salt and pepper ribs were incredibly hard. Most worrying however was the chicken in lemon sauce which had the texture of uncooked chicken. Usually this dish is tender and delicious. The vermicelli noodles were also very rubbery. I think the change of chef is very noticeable in the worst way. The response from the head waiter was very disappointing. We were regulars here and he made very little effort to recognise the poor quality of food that we were served this evening. One of our dishes was not charged for, despite us both having chicken in lemon sauce. More disappointingly, the apology was almost non existent. It was a very disappointing birthday experience. This place is not recommended.

Reasonably big open space, brightly lit and reasonably busy. Service is ok, bit on the slow side but friendly enough. The food is the same Chinese food you see and taste on a menu from the 80s. Greasy starters, high coloured and gloopy mains. If that’s your thing, then great. If not, be prepared for average retro

This was our favourite Chinese in Leeds and we got a takeaway tonight and am afraid to say it will be our last meal here! The crispy duck was cold, the satay beef was bright yellow and as strong as a curry from Bradford! Lastly the beef with ginger and spring onions not only lacked spring onions but had no taste. For those regular visitors will know that G-Wu were famous for large pieces of meat in their dishes. This has been reduced to strips of meet made to look like you have as much meat as before when in fact it has been reduced by 50%! Also at the prices charged I am not prepared to be ripped off again! It’s a shame how quickly new management can ruin a good business.

Review April 2023 Mixed experiences. I wouldn’t bother with takeaway. They tell you a time to collect and you’ll be sat waiting an additional 20 minutes (this has happened more than once). Partner said the last time he ordered he was disappointed with it. Other times it’s been nice. — Review October 2021 We tried G Wu once for takeaway and it was okay, but coming for a meal in was a totally different experience. The food was delicious. Loved the salt and pepper squid, satay skewers, g wu chow mein, crispy beef and salt and pepper chips. Big portions. Can’t wait to go back.

We were a little nervous of going the this restaurant for Mothers Day after reading some of the reviews on here. However, I have to say we had a really lovely experience! The food was plentiful & absolutely delicious and we had no issue with the service. Staff were polite, knowledgeable & prompt with both food & drink. Our only small suggestion would be that they warm the plates before giving them out & that maybe some heaters on the table to keep food warm would have been the icing on the cake! Don’t be put off by the negative reviews - try it for yourself! Hopefully, you will have as good a time as we did!

We were seated quickly and the staff were polite. The food was generally nice but nothing special and there was hardly any, if any at all, meat inside the crispy beef. The service was hit and miss. When we arrived we were approached to order many times, even after asking for a few minutes, several times. When the food arrived, nobody came to ask if everything was okay. When we had finished, the waiter took our food away and packaged it up for us, but nobody came with the bill, we were just ignored. I think G-Wu has gone downhill since we last visited, and we will not be in a big hurry to return.

Ok, so it's Saturday night and busy... But after waiting 40 minutes for starters and then 50 more for mains what came out was, well, average to say the least. Little flavour in the soup, no beef to be seen in the crispy fried beef, was more scraps and sauce, but the sweet and sour was ok. Perhaps they were just having a bad night but you know when one of your guests says one dish is amazing over and over it's because it's surrounded by things that just aren't and they are trying to overcompensate. Can't say I'll be returning for them to redeem themselves. Unfortunate.

We ordered prawn crackers, ribs, beef curry, shredded chicken with garlic and chilli, Singapore fried rice and noodles with onions and bean sprouts. Ordered for a certain time for collection but there was a 30 min delay (would have been nice to know.. they took my number at order point) but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed the takeaway meal. Beautifully done, tasty, not at all greasy but just delicious. Enough food for tomorrow night as well as tonight. Very generous portions. Just got the message as I’m typing this to say our meal was going to take longer 🤪 but absolutely would order from here again. Not the cheapest but who cares when the food is so good. Would recommend if needing to order food for a dinner party/friends.

Up until tonight this was my favourite restaurant in Leeds. No more. Be aware that under the new ownership things have changed. A party of 5 for my 64 birthday and my mothers 95 Birthday delayed from January due to illness. I had raved about how good this place is and was over the moon to take here there and my brother. The starters came out after along wait and were very nice , then the trouble kicked in, first came a plate of noodles (which we had ordered) but nothing else for about 15 minutes, the warm plates were now cold, my brothers dish of chicken stir fry and mushrooms came out which looked like it wasn't cooked, he sent it back because it was cold it came back still cold, still we had no rice my sister in laws meal came out burnt mums came out okay then mine which was cold and flavour less. then rice. more noodles appeared that we had not ordered. after 15 minutes my wife's food appeared and some tomato ketchup???. at this point we asked for the manager, they did not come but sent a waiter who could not apologise enough, we did not give him a hard time as we felt sorry for him and it was not his fault. eventually some one came and we told them we would pay for the drinks and the starters they offered us a 20% reduction which we politely told them what they could do with it. We paid for the starters and drinks and were leaving with about 3 other tables who had all received the same service. i am so sorry that our favourite restaurant has stooped to this. And a final note on another table a customer whom had received similar treatment to us and like us were offered a free drink was actually charged for it and had to go back and have his bill amended again.

Went here last night with some friends and was very disappointed. We used to go there quite a bit and although I'm not normally a huge Chinese food fan, I loved this place. However, the decline is shocking! The restaurant looks shabby and a bit run down and is freezing! (also, if you go to the toilet, bring a down jacket to wear if you want to avoid hypothermia!). Anyway, back to the food. The first lady who served us came to take our drinks order and half way through, started having an angry argument in another language with one of the waiters! She walked away still shouting but then came back with no apology and had forgotten the order - great service! When our food came, it was served on cold dishes and so didn't stay warm more than about 5 minutes. For my main, I ordered a trio of seafood which should have contained king prawns, squid and scallops. I dug around in it and realised, there wasn't a single scallop! I questioned the argumentative waitress about it and she said that she'd told the waiter yo tell me yhat they had no scallops! To be fair, she did reduce the price a little but I love scallops so was disappointed. Also, the squid tasted so strong that I thought it might not be very fresh so I left that and ate the prawns and veg. On the whole we had a nice get together but the service and food were lacking and the prices have been hiked up significantly so I don't think I would go back.

Unfortunately after my most recent experience I feel I need to leave a review given the sheer drop off in standards overall. I've been coming to this Chinese for takeaway for several years now, and it always used to be the best. Best for food, best for service, best for wait times for collection, best for general atmosphere. All that seems to have fallen off a cliff recently though. For starters, given the current climate I appreciate that every business has to respond to rise in costs, supply chain issues, etc. But the prices here are the highest I've seen for a Chinese anywhere, and that includes London where I spend a lot of time. On top of this, the service issues meant I had to wait for nearly 50 minutes from walking in to collect food, having placed the order 2.5 hours before, which is absolutely shocking. I was told the food was on its way down when I walked in and paid, and I had to ask four separate times where the food was. There were people who had walked in, ordered, waited, and collected their food before ours came out. This was on more than one occasion. Not the level of service I expect from what was once a well-respected establishment, and it has well and truly put the brakes on me coming back. Having spoken with friends and colleagues who also used to get food from here, they all share the same views and sentiments. It's a real shame to see this happen.

Service was extremely slow. Fifteen minutes to get our first drink. Then another twenty minutes to wait for the starters. Food was nice but average Chinese food nothing special. Having said this, the staff were nice once they decided to serve us. Will think twice before returning. Sorry….

This restraunt must be one of the best Chinese restraunts in Leeds. Service is great but the food is even better.

Definitely get off your sofa for this Chinese! Yummy, fast service, polite service and well-priced, I would recommend to anyone! After managing to fit us (we called 20 mins before arriving to book a table and they were kindly accommodating), we ordered lots of food, and it all arrived together and piping hot too! Waiters were pleasant and funny, and accommodating to our preference for chopsticks to use. The drinks were excellently made, and we felt full and satisfied at the end of our visit.

We as a family have been going to GWU for years. Last night 20/11 we visited with some guests and was really looking forward to it, singing its praises as we have always had a great meal. Well I dont know what has happened but it was awful. We were disappointed, embarrassed and appalled. Firstly the price increases are shocking. I get businesses have to make adjustments but their prices were an outrage. £17.50 upwards for noodles and veg. The staff were as miserable as sin but when our meal came I couldn’t believe it we essentially got three plates of the same thing with different stuff added so chicken to one dish and mushrooms to another and very little of it. There were three of us and our bill came to £76.50 £60 of which essentially paid for three plates of noodles with veg that we couldn’t eat they were so stodgy and congealed from too much MSG.only two of us had a soft drink and we had a starter to share. No one came near us to see if we were happy with our food, we couldn’t get anyones attention so when the waiter came to clear our table I explained that we hadn't been happy with our meals - he never looked at us or even uttered a word. We were so appalled we just paid and left. If you want a decent family meal for four with drinks and starters you’re looking at least £200 upwards and I really wouldn’t bother.

Tuve una salida de aquí el 27 de noviembre y lo disfruté mucho, los tamaños de las porciones son geniales, la comida nos duró hasta el día siguiente, tuve el chow mein especial, la señora detrás del mostrador me dio la opción de fideos suaves o secos. No estaba familiarizado con la opción de fideos secos, no es algo que haya tenido antes. La comida estaba lista rápidamente y tienen que decir 5 estrellas para el servicio.

Aunque la comida era agradable se equivocaron de pedido y mientras trataban de llamarlos no cogieron el teléfono y siento que nos han cobrado de más y pusieron 2 arroz frito extra en el orden que no queríamos o solicitar

Ordered the prawn chow mein, egg fried rice and sweet and sour sauce for under £12. Big portions, still loads left over in the tubs. Complimentary prawn crackers on top and the service is always great here, very friendly and well mannered staff. Highly recommend 👍🏼
