The owner in idle conversation told me and my wife that she was Suzanna Foo's sister and that she has the same cuisine that they have in Philly. Don't be fooled, we went to Foo's 2 days later and found out that wu and foo are not related in any way especially in the type of food thats served. They both say they serve Chinese French fare but I guess what makes Elena Wu French is their attitude toward ""stupid Americans""\r
All Chez Elena Wu is an overpriced Chinese takeout restaurant, oh yes they do have linen table clothes and don't forget the word Chez in the name, other chinese places don't do that, or maybe its the more peanuts than chicken in the Kung Pao Chicken when we asked Elena about this she told us that its because she uses ""chicken breast"", give me a break, everybody, even Micky D's uses chicken breast, are we really that stupid. I guess so because people come here regularly. If you want imaginative Chinese French fare in a fantastic setting go to Philly its big $$$, but worth every penny, if you want to be FOOLED go to Chez Elena Wu, chinese menu and china buffet quality sushi as well. If you like fake places this is the place for you. It is what it is.
Pros: nice dining room, pleasant professional waitors, takeout
Cons: owners trying to be something their not, to much copying from other restaurants
