Well, after a short (ish) absence from writing I've finally braved the pop-ups and offers of joining e-bay to write about a place I know very well by now. Mr Wu's is the base end of the Chinese restaurant world, you will get a cheap feed in a cramped atmosphere and poor service from evidently bored staff, and yet I still go back whenever I have to face the ordeal of central London! Why? Well - the price of course. So let's crack on shall we? Where is it?
