These round tables are sometimes only in private rooms, with "regular" tables in the main restaurant space. That might explain why you've never seen one.

#13I understood this as Wu designed a table that looked like the modern lazy Susan, so why is it not chinese ?
Because Wu’s table was never used for eating and is not the origin of the Lazy Susan dining table. The idea of using a rotating table to eat off of originated outside China.

Usually the bigger ones which accommodate receptions and such would have them. Smaller ones, holes in the walls, etc, wouldn't nor would ones in modern, clean freeway-off-ramp strip malls, older ones may.
