The food tasted absolutely amazing. Good for solo dates. Highly recommend
Lovely evening at Ben Wei. Food was fantastic - from the potstickers 🥟 to the 🍱 to the Asian fusion dishes. Music and decor created a beautiful atmosphere, but it was very quiet as it was a Tuesday evening.
The staff are super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommended!
Finally got to eat at Ben Wei and not disappointed. Even ordered takeaways for a friend
Loved the first 2 courses! I wasn’t too sure about the third one…the sticky bbq ribs; not great but okay nonetheless. The service was great, good atmosphere too, and it is quite aesthetically pleasing. We did go on a Wednesday so the restaurant did not have that many people which was a plus for my friend and I. I would definitely go back.
