Well, what can i say? what a huge improvement!.. even though i was already a big fan when they were a buffet, i must say the refurbishment has surely made a better different!
I love the Eat as much as you like idea, with a set price there are so many dishes to choose from! but no desert? am i greedy? lol
The food are cooked to order and the sizzling black pepper beef was amazing! the service has surely improved and they even have cocktails now!
They have a vip area at the back the restaurant that can accommodate up to 35+ people, with a oriental black and red theme, its like perfect for a party.
Overall, i definitely give woo a 10 because of its drastic improvement and wonderful

Woo Chinese Restaurant is no longer a buffet style venue !!!! they have changed the concept to eat as much as you like; served freshly cooked to the table ; four course meal :starters, soup, aromatic duck and mains as many as you like!!! 120 dishes including:
Whole sea bass presented steamed or with crispy skin in black bean, lemon grass or Spicy Thai Sauce.
Sizzling meat dishes with exotic aromas.
Many vegetarian choices, and as a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised!! Makes a change.
Tasty good quality food at a very reasonable price compared to other similar concept restaurants, £10.90 Sunday up to £15 Fri and Sat.
With warming beige and brown decor, soft lighting and crisp Linen tablecloths and serviettes, the ambience is very relaxing.
Service is exemplary with attentive waiters, never intrusive, and very knowlegable of the dishes.
This is a restaurant not to be missed and once experienced you will want to return again and again as we do - Ruth & Alan, devotees.
I love this little buffet me and my boyfriend are in our 20's and go here maybe once a month, we havent found a buffet that has beat it.
Its just reopened and me and my boyfriend and booked for tonight and its not a buffet no more they cook it so its still hot but its still all you can eat. :)
This place is awful, do not waste your time and money! everything was dry, cold, tasteless the only flavour to any of it was grease!!
And on top of all that when you are trying to pick the best of a bad lot you have the waiters stalk you and hover around you so much so that i nearly dropped my plate bumping into one of them as i was turning around.
the drinks are flat and upon asking for a glass of tap water we were told that they do not offer tap water.
i feel that i have wasted what i wanted to be a good evening out with the family! complete waste of time and money!
This is the best chinese buffet I have ever been to, there was a huge range of food, including gorgeous desserts. All well presented & good quality food. 10/10 from me & my family!
Went to Woo's this afternoon and have to say it is by far the best Chinese buffet restaurant I have visited. Good variety of food and desserts. Also plenty of premium dishes like 2 types of duck and at least 4 different prawn dishes along with my own personal favourite which is ribs. Friendly staff who, when informed of my daughter's birthday, presented her with a dessert (plus candle), party poppers and a card all finished off with a rousing (and hilarious) version of Happy Birthday! Clean and bright, lovely atmosphere, delicious food. Go there.
The best Chinese "eat as much as you like" restaurant in London, I can safely say. The quality is far better than ordinary "proper" restaurants. Great duck, King prawns, chicken, pork, seafood dishes. I do like this kind of restaurant as you can choose after seeing the dishes themselves.
The drinks are rather pricey, but the service is always friendly and polite, the place is very very clean.
You simply have to give them a try. They won't let you down!
I went to this restaurant with about 15 friends after it was recommended by friends (it was a saturday). There were lots of dishes on offer and there was at least 4 large prawn dishes. The food was lovely. Unlike most chinese restaurants, there were lots of choice in desserts, all served in nice little plates.
The waiters were nice and happy to help even when some people were being difficult and rude. The place was clean and well lit. The buffet had a lot of variety and choice to cater for everyones wishes. None of my friends complained about the food and really enjoyed it. It was better then the other chinese buffet's we have visited as a group in the past.
I really liked this place and I would definitely visit again. Its value for money at £13.99 plus drinks. It may be out the way for some but I think its worth the travel. Its the best chinese buffet place I have visited in the UK and I have visited many places. The other place was in Florida, USA. I love Chinese food and I highly recommend this restaurant.
