Mr Wu in City of London, Westminster

il n'y a pas de choix pas de saveur porc pas cuit serveur désagréable "donnez moi l'argent" alors qu'on a même pas encore retirer le manteau soupe à l'eau je ne recommande pas

Very affordable chinese buffet restaurant (no cards accepted) with very friendly staff. Food was very delicious, abundant and tasty. We highly recommend that one goes to this restaurant and no other tourist traps in the area of Chinatown. Takeaway option available

Good food. £5 Fill your own takaway box. As much as you can fit in.. It's very tasty. Great value. Sat outside on restaurant tables.

The best place for good and cheap food if someone doesn't have time :)

Good value for takeaway lunch box. Good taste, and you can eat at the tables outside.

We were going to go for the offer of filling your tupperware low cost but they only accept cash, they do not accept cards. It's cool but they didn't put it anywhere described here, we were going there specifically and we saw it when we arrived. We looked at what they had and it wasn't much. To get out of trouble I guess it's cool in the end we went somewhere else

I want to meet Mr Wu, he is a legend

You get what you pay for. It is the cheapest buffet around 9.95 for a all you can eat or 5 for a box. The selection is very limited, not even chicken fried rice on choice. The standards are pretty low. No dogs allowed in but few tables outside to use. Food poor tasting. Good option if you need cheap fill up otherwise probably better to skip.

Paid £10 for an all you can eat dine in. I went downstairs into a very cramped room and whilst waiting in line had to be mindful or not getting in the way of the workers or people eating their meals. The food selection wasn’t great, nor was the quality. Both myself and the person I was with couldn’t finish our first plates before leaving the restaurant.

Here you can get a warm, generous and tasty meal for just £5 if you take the take-away box. You pay in cash and can eat the box at the tables in front of the restaurant that are covered in the rain. A rarity in London. There are also plenty of vegan dishes at the buffet.

Definitely an unforgettable experience, it's been a year since I went there and I've never forgotten it, whenever someone talks about bad restaurants I mention Mr Wu, terrible food, terrible service, unhealthy place, I don't recommend it

For hungry people, definitely. Very good food.

Very crowded and bad. Small eating area, only cash.

food not too ok, too salty very crowded, seat very small

Refused to provide us with tap water even though I made them aware it was illegal not to provide tap water upon request!! Very rude staff so we left and went elsewhere. It’s cheap for a reason!

Food was well nice especially the pork

Very much what you see is what you get. The food was alright, nothing special but it was fresh and had nice flavours. It’s an ok choice if you just want some decent food. Cans of fizzy drink are £2. You can eat inside for £9 ish or have a takeaway tub and eat outside for £5 (they give a wooden fork). No atmosphere inside but staff were nice.

Low quality and less options, the food is bad, there are hairs found from those buffet food. Kitchen and dishes are dirty. No tap water, and staff shouted customers if they could not speak English well. Cash only. If you didn't have cash, no food. After COVID, people are used to pay by contactless. There must be a purpose for cash only.

had the salt pepper chicken wings and there was still blood in them eveyrhing had no taste and was like warm

We have been frequenting Mr Wu for the past 20 plus years when we visit London from Dorset. We have never been disappointed at the quality, service and price of the food. It is a canteen style environment and shouldn't be mistaken for a restaurant but this is the charm of eating here. Dont be surprised if you are sat on a table with people you dont know but this again is all in the experience of eating here. We are visiting again in January 25 from Spain where we now live. You wont be disappointed if you take it for what it is. Yum yum.

I felt like I was in a Travis scott concert. So many people, to be fair it was very cheap. But I didn't get to see the famous Mr wu. I think one of the girls likes me asw so bonus points.

The Staff are Rude and the food tastes inedible will never come back. I advise anyone visiting London to not visit this place your better off going to a mcdonalds

Great as a takeaway. You can choose whatever you want and fit it into the given box. Good for tasting different dishes. Don´t expect fancy food, but you will get common Chinese meals for a great price.

Everyone will find something for himself. Everything was delicious. I recommend trying the wings and vegan spring rolls because they were exceptional.

Very good value for money for the food that's available .Not a big choice of dishes but the food is tasty for sure and the food is constantly replenished by fresh food when running out so thats always good

Don’t come here with high expectations. If you embrace it for what it is - a convenient, cheap option for when you need a quick fill, then it does the trick. Again, not high-quality food, but you won’t find anything cheaper. Buffet service also felt a bit forceful and strict, which didn’t create relaxing environment at all. Was glad to get out with my takeaway container and free myself from this little tavern of stress. Buuuut it was cheap at least!

Absolutely loved the food and prices are probably the lowest in the street!

Fair for only 5£. The food is quite good but filled with oil.

CASH ONLY. Just reminding everyone ! Anyway, love the wings in particular, good simple choice in a fantastic location. First went in 1995 and have visited regularly.

Tasty and cheap. Eat as much as you want for £9.95 and a takeaway box only £5.00 It's clean and the atmosphere is not just for the mood, just to come and eat. I recommend. Easy to hit.

We've never walked out of a restaurant before finishing a plate before, but we could not continue eating here. The selection was very small, everything was overcooked and greasy, the chicken wings had literal hairs coming out of the batter

Food was bland with no taste, such as the stir fried noodles, rice and bean sprouts tasted like they were boiled in water and that's it. Meat quality isn't the best, I found more than one very dry chicken that was brown and extremely dry, inedible, in my sweet and sour chicken. Salt and pepper chicken wings also isn't prepped properly, still had hairs all over it (meaning it wasn't cleaned properly) and the meat is just strange and chewy. It's pretty basic, didn't really enjoy it and only got one plate. Mr Wu's used to be really good for its price, but I guess they can't afford to maintain quality anymore. Edit: Me and my partner who both ate in yesterday have gotten upset stomachs and bad stomach aches.

The best value for money in Asian food in London 🇬🇧🙏👍

This food was so good, that every cell in my body died and was reborn with such strength and virtue that I could lift the entire building. 10/10 would eat again.

Great priced for London incredible service and good quality meat. Ignore the bad reviews, its all propaganda. See the truth and come to Mr Wu.

The best meal I have ever eaten it was absolutely delicious all of the bad reviews are fake propaganda I even saw skibidi wu while I was there

terrible food no flavour i don’t reccomend

The cheap price of £9.95, meal in restaurant, attracted us to this restaurant. But the reception was very rude and loud because we had just looked, and the shop seemed unclean. Not with us! We then found a very good, above all clean "all you could eat" with a lot more choice for £15 across the street. We were given a very friendly welcome! The low price isn't everything. Definitely not recommended!!!

The veggies aren’t properly cooked and doesn’t have much taste.

Always end up here for a cheap lunch in London. Kids love it

The food is not good owner says he don’t like black people as a whole food is very basic

Mediocre food, and very rude male worker on 1st floor bullying paying customers

Very good food, 5 pounds or 6 euros, to take away, but you can eat sitting outside.

On wings are chickens hair or stuff is jus discusting i dont recommend to come to this local

Talk bad words behind customers

Well the Food was good but the portion size was very very less also the store owner was a bit rude tbh ! And a lot of people are there at a time within such a small place so u may have to wait for more than 20mins to get a table and u also have to be in hurry to finish off your meal cause others are waiting in the queue . The price was good , affordable but not the best in the Chinatown from any side !

My family and I ended up eating at this Chinese buffet as it started to rain and we were hungry. We were put on the table and we started to pick our food. About 10 minutes later, we asked for water from a waiter. Upon asking, he asked us to pay before he brought the water. We ended up paying £60 as it’s £15 per person. He didn’t left our table until we paid. Never been in a buffet that we had to prepay WHILE WE WERE EATING!! But ok…food was alright, not as much varieties as expected. Their fruits were delish especially the orange and pineapple. I would go again if the waiter was not that arrogant and demanded us to prepay.

The food is very good but the smile is lacking, on the other hand they only take cash but 10 pounds not expensive at all and as much as you can eat. A real treat.

Very good, a little lacking in smiles, but otherwise nothing to complain about. 10 pounds at will and only in cash.

Seriously, it tastes like shit... The food is all salty and tasteless, and I just ate it because it was in front of the musical theater. They don't sell alcohol, only cash, and even prepayment is required.

They ask the customers to pay as soon as they arrive and they don't take credit cards just cash witch I haven"t so I left.... So upset

Located in Chinatown, London, the restaurant serves Chinese food. We had a good meal here in Mr. Wu's all-you-can-eat buffet. They have rice and noodles. There was a wide selection of dishes to choose from. There was chicken curry, steamed prawns, roast duck, vegetables, roast pork, etc. The roast duck was certainly very delicious. They had steaming hot soup which was a delight to Asians. To cater for Westerners, they have fries, paella and a few other things. The food is quite good. Price-wise, it is cheap.

I went to this restaurant with my family we pay for 2 adults and one children I also have a 7 months old baby my wife gave to my little one a bit of broccoli and the manager came to tell us that we have to pay 3 pounds for the small pice of broccoli . This people are really miserable never camin back to this place

How can you complain about £10 for all you can eat? The chicken wings alone are worth that. Yes, the staff are brusque and it's cramped and chaotic but personally I'm more comfortable with that. And paying first just means you can go as soon as you're finished - no messing around catching the waiter's attention and worrying about tipping. 5 stars.

Haven't been here for 19yrs..had good memory of it last time so we would give it a go with the kids. Cramped and people literally pushing against table trying to get their food.. When we finally got to get ours the majority of it was warm or cold.. Some heating need for the big trays.. The boxes looked better value than sit down... £9.95 for sit down or £5 for box... Think we will leave it for another 29years.. Try and give it clean...

Very cheap and good, self service! Relatively small and narrow.

It may be cheap and the food is okay but the waiting times are very long and the restaurant is dirty. The staff is unfriendly too.

Great food for great price. I recomand eating in Mr Wu

Amazing food, really tasty, the people working there were really nice. We were full and for a good price.

Buffet constantly topped up. Busy but didn't wait long. Quickly eat & out.

Atmospheric place. You pay one price and eat as much as you want. A large selection of food that is delicious. A lot of tables. Nice view of the street from above. Worth the price. In one word, very nice.

While working in a food factory, I had occupational health and safety training. The most important thing was that after washing your hands, you disinfect them with alcohol and then you cannot touch anything except food. When someone fixed their hair or scratched their nose, they had to go out to wash their hands and disinfect them. In this buffet, a young man with disgusting acne on his face serves customers, touches dirty money, and then wipes the customers' plates with a dirty rag. Like in Bareja's comedy. In the 22nd century, such crap.

Not so great. The old location had better and more options. £10 per person. £2.50 for a can of Coke. Food was stale and unseasoned. The place is tiny so you would often be seated upstairs which means running up and down to get your food.

£5 for a decent sized box that you fill yourself and the ray on outside tables slap bang in Chinatown. What’s not to like.

The man screaming to the customers and saying bad words, the small middle age man, he is very rude and no manners to the customers and we uncomfortable on this man and for sure we won’t come back here in your restaurant

I came inside with a pram and they sent me downstairs no lift or help and after I sat in far corner they told me they didn’t have a highchair and that my baby of 8 months old needed to also pay, which I refused because baby was not even going to eat maybe try but not eat. I had to keep asking for cutlery and napkins because nothing was on the table. I got annoyed with the staff because my change wasn’t given and being quite rude so I asked to move upstairs and they said I’ll have to pay more for upstairs. Overall food was ok but staff and customer service was a 0 from me

Mr. Wu is a very unique experience. It's small and cramped, but it's all the more amazing that the service staff have everything under control. This order in this small place (in the house) is more than just impressive. An all-you-can-eat meal there costs 9 pounds and eating to go in a bowl with a lid costs 5 pounds. In my opinion, the food was really tasty, especially the chicken wings.

SUPER DIRTY, hair on food and smelly

i visited this place multiple times during the last 5 years. the food is suprisingly good, but the menu always stays the same - that's a shame. everything is fast and effective

Great value ... Down to earth good people

The buffet provided a diverse selection of food options, ensuring something for everyone's palate. Moreover, its affordability makes it an attractive choice.

Great value for money and very satisfying food. But I am post operative transsexual and the staff seemed to find it very funny. Twice I saw they were laughing at me. As such my whole visit was ruined by this.

In 2022 and I admit it was the best culinary establishment in the UK I have ever been to I would visit again If I could come

Great Food! Mr Wu was nice to us. Recomenned by Polak 4.

Great Food! Mr Wu was nice to us. Recomenned by Polak 1.

Went to Mr Wu, opposite Oneils night club. Disgusting food, disgusting service.dont like foreigners, everything taste the same. What a terrible experience. Wouldnt give any stars, not worth 1 star rating. Disgusting. Cannot reccomend any dishes. Won't even give u a tap water to wash down the disgusting food. Don't go there. Terrible

No taste, fried in old fat, I definitely don't recommend it!!!👎👎👎

Sanitary and Epidemiological Station needed

Way to crowded, I was more time in line than actually eating. The staff seems to be actively angry at their customers, like they don't want you there.

The price is too high for the quality of food and service. Only cash. Sweet and fatty, it's better to take away for £5 than to sit inside for £10 extra. After one container you should have enough.

Awful service firstly they refused to serve us tap water , the food was cold noodles tasted weird and rice was stodgy and cold , not many options wouldn’t recommend this buffet if you want a better one go across the road the price makes a differnce for what you get although it’s cheap it’s not worth it

Offering several types of dishes. For £5 to take out, great value.

Just a few types of dishes. No desserts. Nothing special. I wouldn't invite anyone I know here. I don't want to come here anymore. CoZaCweleTutaj .

Average experience, nothing too bad, nothing too good but an affordable quick and easy tasty treat to keep the tummy full. Never been to Mr Wu Chinese Buffet before, but I thought I'd give it a try. Their enticing window showing the available food, with people scooping different items up and putting them on their plate/in their box is enough to make anyone's mouth water! Nevertheless, the have all the essentials in decent quantities ready for customers to help themselves (unlimited if eating in). The buffet (at the time of this review) is £9.95 and there is no service charge. The takeaway option is £5.00 (for one box) and is available to all customers. The pricing of both is spectacular in my opinion, the box can be filled with any items you choose and if eating in then you get a plate and it is unlimited. The restaurant is small and tidy but has lots of staff on hand to help. Initially once sat, the waiter said 'pay now pay now' to which was abrupt, but we didn't mind as we're going to pay anyway so why not do it first for once (some people have mentioned this in their reviews that the staff were aggressive in doing this tactic) but we didn't feel this way, simply a request upfront for payment which I didn't have an issue with. They offered a drinks menu but we didn't need anything. I didn't ask for tap water (I had a bottle in my bag) but don't plan on drinking inside as the sign tells you not too! A bit draconian, but we just had a sip once outside - not a mega issue but something to definitely consider. The plates weren't that clean nor was the cutlery, I think it was being wiped in the back with a cloth but without proof and it being clean enough to eat off we went up for food. All the food was hot and tasty, the flavour wasn't incredible but it did the job, all for £9.95 each. I managed 5 plates before I felt full, once done, you can simply leave as you've already paid! The buffet does state 1hr 30min seating, but we didn't even come close to this and I don't know if they enforce this. Overall, it is the best value in Chinatown (at present guaranteed), as I've checked and compared all the buffets. You don't get prawn/shrimp at this one and the meat offering is limited hence the pricing difference (my assumption), but I am fussy and mainly had veggie stuff anyway. The cleanliness is good and they have customer toilets and adequate seating, I'd visit again and recommend it to friends and family too. I thanked the staff when I left, they had smiles and were actually all lovely, you just need to give them a chance and understand that the shouting at first isn't nasty but hasty and they're rushing around! Tip - the takeaway boxes are extremely popular, this means there is almost always a queue at busy times for the boxes. If you're doing buffet eating in, you need to wait in a queue so it can really slow things down. I'd suggest visiting during quieter times or before 8pm really (you don't have to) but you'll find yourself forever waiting by the surges of tourists and those grabbing the cheapest Chinese takeaway box in the local area! Enjoy for yourselves, I'll definitely go back - no booking needed. To improve the food could be slightly hotter and have more flavour, I'd give the restaurant 2-3 stars but the value for money puts it at a solid 3 star rating. You get to see the choice of food before you go in, so do have a look through the front window and judge for yourself!

The best food in the known universe just go and get a takeaway for £5 utterly amazing people and great food.

Very cheap meal for takeaway. Chooses whatever you want to fit the box!

Not even worth the price. We couldn't attempt a second serving. No tap water option... Definitely cash only....

The food is not bad, but the service was at a low level and when I asked I was simply ignored, hygiene also needs better

The owner called some French Muslims "Stupid!" and mocked Halal food repeatedly! I've been coming to Mr Wu's for 2 decades but my recent visit at 6:30pm on Thursday 28th March really left a sour taste in my mouth. Some French students were serving themselves at the buffet when they suddenly learnt that the meat was not Halal. They didn't ask initially if the food was Halal, but equally there is no clearly visible signage anywhere to state that the meat is not Halal. Upon discovering this, the manager was furious and called the paying customers stupid for not asking, there was zero compassion for their innocent mistake and they were called "stupid" repeatedly and "Halal Halal Halal" in a mocking tone was repeated several times. I felt grossly insulted and ashamed that in a multicultural city, these teenagers had to endure such ridicule in a Soho restaurant. Yes, the food may have had to be wasted, but taking insulting frustration out on international, young, Muslim visitors to the city who clearly didn't speak much English, I thought was disgusting. Additionally, another man of colour was refused tap water by the same manager. All licensed premises have to supply tap water by law and being that water rates are paid regardless, tap water doesn't cost a restaurant any more, but this manager arrogantly was arguing with the man that he knows his job, he won't be told what to do and he won't serve tap water. If he doesn't sell alcohol, ok he doesn't have to provide tap water, but out of sheet politeness and customer service, it would be advisable to do so and if he is worried about profit, charge 50p or something for the service he is providing rather than point blank and angrily refusing. I shall not return to this establishment out of principle for its lack of compassion towards those that wish to eat Halal and for the terrible attitude that I witnessed. I will say that despite this experience, I was seated promptly, I ate 3 plates of food which was nice and there is a decent variety of food available, albeit not Halal or Kosha. I don't feel that this is the place either for vegetarians or vegans, nor those with specific allergies, as all dishes are served next to each other and there's a high risk of cross contamination.

Great value and good choice to have a budget lunch.

One star review starts here and ends here. Rude staff wouldn't give tap water even have the rudeness to tell you off for drinking your own water won't go back made a mistake won't do it again

Cute little place to eat with family

We went there on Friday morning (15/03/2024), I mean at 11:30. They’ve just opened a restaurant. The food was really bland and tasteless. We were travelling from Yorkshire. After returning, I’ve got a food poisoning. I am still recovering (Monday evening). Good luck and enjoy your meal!

Underground. Just everything. Unhygienic, food tasteless. Believe me, you're saving at the wrong end.

Nice food, just needs more choice.

Price is reasonable with the food options (more than 10 types). Staff are a bit rude

I paid £5 for a box that I could easily eat. Food very tasty. The place is small, but the service is nice.

Mmmmm, I already miss their food. You come to them hungry and leave the village. I recommend!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

The food was cold and the staff were not helpful when told about this.

Great value for money, you goy to remember it's not a posh restaurant just a place to have a nice easy lunch
