Mr Wu in City of London, Westminster

Best Chinese in town! Have been a visitor for many years from my parents to myself to my kids, I cannot fault this place and service is exceptional value for money, very friendly and polite owners who I believe deserve alot more appreciation, they put their heart and soul into this place! Thank you x

You won't find anything better for £5 in London.

Takeout is cheep and tastes fantastic. Best meal in London so far. 5€

Very good food ,staff is very friendly( Khan) 🙂

Refused tap water, only wanted us to buy their bottle of water and all over options were soft drink which are dehydrating. I found this outrageous and disappointing as it was the first humid day of this year and I suffer from asthma so water is crucial. No music, tables so close you can hear other customers conversations especially if they are a group of people. Lack of seasoning on food, most sauces tasted watered down and a “quick and lazy” effort. Not a large variety of food options. Lids are open on all buffet trays which isn’t the most hygienic. Our plates were not cleared while we were eating, we had a pile of plates on our small table stacked up until we left. Overall, despite being affordable, it was not an enjoyable experience unfortunately due to lack of flavour, lack of service, refusal of water and hygiene standards.

Mr wu is the best value all you can eat buffet in Chinatown. The staff can be delightfully rude if you rub them up the wrong way.

The food is good but the room on two floors with the men's toilets on the second floor and the waiter who sweeps the broom and mop while we eat: as a Frenchman, I have never seen anything like it.

Food is fresh, tasty and just £5 take away per box.

You get what you pay for has never been so apt. For £10 sit in and £5 takeaway in London this is certainly a bargain buy, but for me the food and ambiance reflected that too. As someone who has had numerous amazing meals in China town this unfortunately has to go down as a disappointment. The selection felt limited, the chicken had a texture like tofu and the stream of people wanting the takeaway options made the queues longer than they ought to be. Great if you're on a budget but if not I would say one to miss.

For the price you can't go far wrong. Small selection but tasted nice.

Decent all you can eat at £9.95 + £2 for a coke

Just avoid this place. Awful food, service, atmosphere and facilities. Couldn't finish half a plate of food before leaving...grim!

Never once had a bad experience at Mr Wu’s - affordable, and the staff have always been both friendly and welcoming. A favourite family spot for us.

Lovely chinise box for 5 pound can't go wrong

The food was delicious, the price was right (strangely, they only accept cash payments). Not a huge selection, but it was fresh and tasty. The atmosphere isn't great, but go in and eat and say goodbye.

Super tasty £5 for an all you can eat takeaway box👍

Nice little Chinese in China Town

Cheap and tasty Chinese buffet. Food was hot and fresh, had to get two boxes 😃 Positive experience overall not like what other reviews say.

Seems like the cheapest in Chinatown, but you get what you pay for. Food is OK. Service is below par but not bad.

The service was unpleasant, but the food was quite good. Even though we were 2 adults and 2 children, they told the children to leave in a rude manner after they had already filled their takeaway food.

Avoid at all costs unless you want to be very unwell! We were sat on the lower level of the buffet and I can only describe it as similar to a kidnappers basement. It smelt like sewage. The walls were sticky, chair covers filthy and plastic drinking glasses unusable and were greasy and discoloured. We were aggressively ordered to pay upfront and were then asked to join the queue to help ourselves but the queue was weaving in and out of tables we were inches from someone else’s plate, in the corner where three other tables were located - it was so busy those eating sitting at those tables could not get to their seats. Whilst queuing members of staff were squeezing through with hot food which could have been a recipe for disaster, and was not very safe. The same service hatch to deliver fresh food for the buffet was also the same hatch to take away dirty plates. We barely managed a plate each, nothing well labeled so we did not know what we were even eating! Could not wait to get out of there! A couple of our group were actually very very unwell and violently sick after eating here. Would not return, avoid at all costs! This place needs an urgent food safety inspection!

Only cash payment is accepted. There are two options: take away (£5) or eat there for less than £10. There isn't much variety but it's good and has its atmosphere. Nothing sophisticated, but recommended for cheap dinner or lunch.

Good food at an attractive price. If anyone expects atmosphere, it's not at Mr. Wu's. But how? Someone wants to eat a lot - I recommend it.

Khán is very nice fella and Offside is little bit shy and they have children undergroud

For this kind of money, it's really worth it. The food is very good, you can eat whatever you want. For PLN 10 you eat there and you have 1.5 hours for it, so you can take a second if you don't have enough. A bit cramped, but it's worth it. I recommend it.

This place was super cramped and gave me food poisoning.

Shouted at us and asked why i took my bag and first shouted at us to pay

£5 TikTok made me go and not disappointed

Good value in Chinatown eat as much as you want 10 pounds

Food good, you can't eat cheaper than here.

Basic and tasty. Had the £5 box filled to the max and loved it. If you want a belly full on a budget, I'd recommend. The chap on the door was very friendly.

I have been to alot of restaurants in my life, and i can confidently say this one was the worst

Shhh! This is too good a place for lovely afternoon buffet!

5£ for nice food to take away was a real deal.

£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.

Yummy, cheap, but busy like at a Russian market

Very good price and food was good.However there was a long queue and limited space

Little variety but the food is good, overall for the price you can't ask for much more, the chicken wings, the chicken curry and the noodles are very good…. 🍗🤤 You can't pay by card, ONLY CASH but around the corner there is an ATM, the price is £9.99 and £2 for each drink (super cheap for the prices in the area) 💷💰 The place is clean although the appearance is a bit decadent. ✅

Estábamos sentados arriba. Los pisos, paredes y techo están sucios. Había una escotilla en el techo cubierta de papel de estaño y la unidad de aire acondicionado estaba espesa de suciedad. Hemos estado antes hace unos 3 años y realmente se ha deteriorado desde entonces. La higiene alimentaria es inexistente. Le dieron latas para beber que estaban calientes. La comida era mediocre y para colmo 2 de nosotros tuvimos estómagos malos y tuvimos que acortar nuestro día en Londres! Evitar a toda costa.

A lot of heat from some of these reviews, but seriously, where else can you get a full takeaway portion of hot food from the centre of iconic London Chinatown for £5?! Even McDs or other large companies cant match that. OK, it's not the most innovative Chinese food, but a fun experience trying to pick what you want and not overdo the container.

Great place with cheap and good food. The price of a burger at MC includes a complete meat, vegetable and carbohydrate dish.

Well located near Picadilly Circus at the start of China Town. Delicious food for £9.95 as much as you can eat. Unfortunately only cash payment.

Love Chinese food but this was very bland food. Not many choices, expensive, I wouldn't consider it a buffet

Nice food. Around £11 to eat in; £5 for a takeaway box. (Their eat-in prices change.)

It was a nice experience for me. I don't really eat Chinese food. I've never ordered Chinese takeaway in my life. Can you imagine? Anyway, we came on Sunday evening, just before closing, a group of 11 people. The staff members must have hated us. Still, we were welcomed and seated at a big table. The food arrived fast. We ordered lots of sharing plates. The food was OK. The round table with a glass Lazy Susan added a special touch to the dinner and fostered a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Horrible. Limited choice, all bland and rude staff.

Restaurant to avoid £16 per person for an all-you-can-eat buffet with very little choice. Nothing is homemade, it’s absolutely inedible. In addition, hygiene really leaves something to be desired. In short, it’s a restaurant that gives the impression of being ripped off.

The owner's attitude is very bad. Food is cold, better go to the 15£ nearby. Poor service, NOT RECOMMENDED!

The owner is very rude with no customer service at ALL. The food is unacceptable with the worst atmosphere. NOT recommended!!!

Cheap food, quality adjusted to its price. Good resource to eat cheaply in China Town

Food is cold and the owner is rude, bad attitude. NOT RECOMMENDED

Estábamos en necesidad de un impulso de energía después de un día de turismo y con poco tiempo antes de ver à espectáculo. Esto encaja perfectamente con la ley. £ 5 para una caja de comida para llevar es fantástico valor. La comida era perfectamente adecuada comida reconfortante para el precio.

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.

Food was okay, definitely don't come with high expectations. It was good for the cheap price but definitely won't be coming back. Very bland tasteless food. The chicken soup tasted of nothing.

Tables are small foods bland and the service is very inadequate And most importantly chinese people don't eat there

A very unpleasant place, very nasty employees

+ too low prices for London (5 for takeaway, 9.95 on site in January 2025) - food of poor quality - meat of unknown origin - soup is slop with added sugar - hygiene in the premises... - cash only We will definitely not come back and I do not recommend it to anyone

Opinions about this place are extreme - some people love it, others are not fans. Personally, I think it's worth visiting. We paid €6 for a takeaway box. You can pay in cash in euros or pounds. After making the payment, we receive a plastic takeaway container, cutlery and we can compose our own meal. The bar is well stocked - you will find vegetables, fries, spring rolls, various types of meat and side dishes. Everything was very tasty and the portions were really large.

the 5£ takeaway tub has to be one of the best value meals in England

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.

If you are in Soho you absolutely must go to this restaurant! To take away, for £5 (cash) you can eat extremely well. I recommend the noodles which are excellent!

If you like being in pain on the toilet, visit Mr Wu

Food was very basic and bland. All the dishes tasted the same.. Staff were miserable and rude and no room in the restaurant to move as well as a very long wait outside which was not worth it in the end. Also was filthy outside and tables were not wiped. Inside however was relatively clean.

Currently costs 15 pounds to dine in

To flee….. The food is disgusting… poorly received I understand street rats better….

We went to this restaurant in Chinatown, terrible to escape! You are stacked like cattle in a room towards an all-you-can-eat buffet (all-you-can-eat there are 8 dishes) Staff not welcoming, all in kind we did not finish the plates we left Hygiene let's not talk about it To the wise

Horrible. The food smelled bad. The staff was very rude to the customers, even throwing the Coke in our face, really anything to flee this Chinese restaurant, of course it's only 10 pounds but disgusting, food spilled everywhere. I didn't appreciate that

So very rude staff or owner was sat here and he was rude to 4 other customers till he was rude to my wife while I was in toilet he was sorry when I came out to hear him bitching at my wife.extremely rude never going back and food wasn’t all that cheap for a reason

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.

I am writing to provide feedback on my recent visit to your buffet . While I was pleased with the price and had no complaints about the food, I was disappointed with the service provided by one of your staff members. The gentleman assisting customers was quite rude in his manner. When I asked for clarification about an item, he curtly replied, "look at the picture." Even though there was a picture, it did not clearly indicate whether the item was chicken. This interaction left me feeling uncomfortable and hesitant to ask for further assistance. Unfortunately, this experience deterred me from dining at your restaurant again. When I saw the same staff member inside the restaurant yesterday, I decided not to go in.

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

The price was good for what you are getting.. I checked many reviews and it's not as bad as they say, everyone were kind and polite and they have clear instructions to me when it was my 1st time here. I will reccomend others to come here but the place is NOT HALAL. I also want to say that it is not wheelchair accessible but if you sit outside it's okay.

Horrible. Food was smelly. Staff was so rude to customers. Spilled food everywhere. I did not enjoy this.

Very bad food, undercooked. Staff spilled food on my jumper. Staff are very rude. Bad attitude towards customers.

Delicious food at a reasonable price

Perfect 'street food ' take away experience, but not restaurant. Great value and quality for the price. We shall return when in London, in summer, and have recommended to others 😀

To start of with it took me 50 mins to walk to this buffet. I was happy about the prices (£9.95 per person) but little did I know what I was in for. We were seated in the corner at the back of the restaurant. It was very cramped. We hadn’t even sat down yet and the worker said “pay now” when we hadn’t even got comfortable yet. You have to pay in cash which I personally think is quite dodgy. Once we paid the staff didn’t really bother with us at all. We want to go get our food and plates. Once we filled our plates we sat and began eating the “sweet and sour chicken “ was awful I’m not sure what meat it was I’m pretty sure it was not chicken . As I turned I saw a male worker behind the sink and drink station and I see a dirty large tub with brown liquid sprayed all over it which looked very unhygienic. We also saw how the meat was handled and how everything was washed . We were instantly put off. We stopped eating instantly. This place needs a proper restaurant check as it is not clean and the food is not handled properly. Many people say they are ill after visiting. Overall don’t go.

A disgusting place, we paid in advance (you can't pay by card, they charge you before you sit down) and we barely ate anything. The worst place I have ever eaten in my life. Dirty, shabby and unpleasant employees. The buffet food (so to speak) was disgusting, tasteless, you don't know what it is: Chicken? Tofu? Veal? The rice was super stale and tasteless and the salad was boiled, I had never tried hot lettuce. I wouldn't recommend it even to my worst enemy.

Local with 2 floors but very small. Little variety of dishes but all delicious. They only accept cash payment. You won't find anything cheaper for 8 euros for the buffet, eat whatever you want.

The place is nice, very cheap with various options. It would be better if thay had some desserts, but all in all it was great. Deal for the preice is amaizing and take away boxies are nice size.

Affordable. Quick and easy and felt healthier than a hamburger. Got full enough. Found a place to eat at the tables outside

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!

been here multiple times the food is good and also very affordable, owners keep it efficient and take cash only which is a bonus, ignore any bad reviews they're coping

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.

Little variety and poor quality I do not recommend

For 5 GBP to fill the box to take away, for 9.95 GBP all you can eat - simple premises, but it tastes good 👍

As good as your getting for a tenner, seen them bringing fresh food out quite a few times and it’s busy so it’s always getting replaced

Very small buffet I didn't felt very welcome.

Food very basic but ok, however the way the staff spoke to its customers was really rude. Not sure if it was cultural but the man upstairs order people where to sit & even asked if they could afford the food. 🙄

I've been going here for many years and buy their £5 takeaway box. Food is both tasty and healthy as they have a good amount of vegetables included. Other nearby similar restaurants have £8 for their takeaway boxes with less healthy choices. So I would recommend this cheaper and healthier place.

Pretty good buffet for a great price. Dont expect anything insane, its just western style chinese food

Terrible, violently vomiting hours after eating and food was mediocre. Additionally staff were very rude and do not care about you , just taking your money and getting you out the restaurant. Lots of the food was cold and were charging money for tap water. Do not come here unless you want to get sick.

Best all you can eat in Chinatown. Been going for years and really enjoy it

Very cheap but food has no flavour. I would only recommend if in a tight budget

IGNORE ONE STAR REVIEWS This place is honestly amazing the food is amazing quality and the staff where smiley and nice

Worst staff with worst food , please save your money and don’t go there and spend it somewhere else. Worst staff they don't even know how to speak to their customers.

Terrible service from the store manager. Instead of being willing to serve, it makes the customer feel as if they were doing a favor by being there since the restaurant exists because of the customers! The customer has the right to say where they feel best in an establishment, but he wanted to put me in a hidden place. When I said that I was uncomfortable and preferred to sit near the buffet, this same manager also said that he didn't feel like it and that I should sit where he said. That day I was so hungry and I just wanted somewhere where I felt good and would pay for the service. I told him that I didn't like the service and he shouted for the whole restaurant to hear that “we don't like you either”. I left the place, went to Jolibee for lunch and received great service! I hope it doesn't happen again and that this gentleman is aware that foreigners may also stop recommending or frequenting this establishment! You should also be aware that there are many tourists and that the image of China Town could be tarnished due to the poor service provided at Mr Wu.

Had a £5 takeaway box , and cannot fault the quality and value of the food. Don't be expecting a luxury restaurant but for what it is it's great place for a quick meal. How can you complain when it's so cheap?

We took takeaway (5 euros per tray). The food is good. Very warm but small place. However, only in cash.

I get it that the place needs a redo but the food was excellent and staff friendly
