Lovely setting and attentive staff.
The 3 course Menu was sufficient and tasty, especially my Salmon Roses. Load shedding turned it into romantic atmosphere and the food still managed to come out. Well done.
We will be back for sure.
Just go!
Excellent service and top notch food.
I will be back for dim sum
Superb experience overall, I would recommend going early in the evening as the kitchen closes early so that you don’t feel rushed.
A highly satisfying meal served by an enthusiastic team. Everything we hoped for a casual dinner out with friends.
We had a lovely time at Ben Wei. We made use of the Restaurant Week three course menu. The food was delicious, portion sizes were very good, and the service was fantastic!
