Read full reviewWe went to Ben Wei last night for a Birthday Celebration, and was pleasantly surprised. From arrival to the last course. The food was extraordinary and we struggled to finish it all. All meals came with a bit of a twist making it that much better. The service was just as good as the food with our waiter being friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be going back to Ben Wei and will highly recommend it.
Awesome sushi and fabulous main and desserts make Ben Wei a delight! Lovely fresh flavors and generous portions guaranteed. Excellent value for money and delicious fare are a great draw card even outside of Restaurant Week. I shall return for more soon...
excellent food. plenty of it. the sushi especially was divine.

will definately be back for the sushi!!

The portions coming out of the kitchen were extremely generous and so tasty. By the time dessert came around we weren't sure if we would have enough space left ...
