      Yes, Chi Chi's is still there in Leicester Square.  The
      food was okay (the lunch buffet not very appetizing
      though) but I wasn't impressed.  (I don't think it
      compared to our Mexican restaurants here in Denver.)
      There are even Taco Bell's there .... :-)

      As far as Chinese restaurants, there are an abundance
      of them in Leicester Square (close to 'China Town'),
      and in almost every part of London.  As I posted before,
      the food is excellent and the service fast.  The soups -
      fish head with bean curd and fish ball - and authenticity
      cannot be found anywhere in Denver (even in the most
      fanciest restaurants).  Many dishes are under L10 (about
      $18-20) but the fresh fish or 'catch of the day' can be a
      bit steep - between L15-20.

Lee Ho Fuks, Greek Street, Soho.  Try the beef chow mein...really. Aaaoooh!!!

For Chinese food in London try the original -Poon's- on Lisle Street (off Leicester Sq.).  The place looks like a dive but serves the best Chinese I've had.  Set 4-5 course dinners for 2 start at 13#.  Very reasonable.
