    Facts speak for themselves

    Food is typical cheap, low grade buffet standard.

    I personally rate hygiene pretty highly:

    Restaurant good, buffet not so good
    Current
    Tai Wu has two sections - the buffet section and the restaurant section. I've eaten in both. The restaurant section is good - if you get a number of dishes between you (say, five or six dishes between four of you) it's great value - about £10 a head or just over. It's also a much nicer atmosphere. Not amazing, but a decent place to go for a nice meal out and a good price for students.

    The buffet section on the other hand is about the same price for much lower quality food. True, it's all-you-can-eat, but unless you're huge or planning on storing a large quantity in your pockets, I don't really see this is a great advantage, especially as the restaurant food gives you generous portions anyway. If it were cheaper, the reduction in quality would be made up for, but it's not, and don't forget you'll be adding drinks and whatnot to the price as well. I could cook better Chinese food than this myself!

    Rude staff

    Very disappointed with the service received when we went for hotpot in Dec 2007. The staff who served us was very rude (with a rude tone and banging food on the table).

    The feel of Hong Kong
    Current
    Once you step through the door, it really feels like you're in a relatively classy Hong Kong restaurant. Albeit a very loud and crowded one, full of Chinese people! The food's good, and the servive is quick if perfunctory.
