A highly satisfying meal served by an enthusiastic team. Everything we hoped for a casual dinner out with friends.

The selection of 6 Dim Sum starters was delicious and nice to try different options - interestingly, the vegetable potstickers were our favourite and the least likely of the 3 to choose off the standard menu. The Spicy Beef & Sticky BBQ ribs were beyond delicious too! We will be back! Exceptional service, great background music, a relaxed and calm ambiance, very generous portions - Ben Wei is highly recommended for authentic, delicious Asian Fusion cuisine.
