Wei Williamsburg

At the start of the year I always have dinner w/ my cousin and we pick a different spot each time. This time a friend joined us and I finally was able to try this spot. It's been in my bookmarks for a min. Super cute quaint spot w/ pretty good service. I was happy w/ that and we didn't get to the food yet. On the table:Veggie dumplings & spring rollsWei favorite chickenShrimp fried riceBeef lo meinSautéed string beans in garlic sauceWashed it all down w/ rose and orange wine. LOVED all of it. Except the shrimp fried rice, don't eat seafood. And the lo mein was a lil bland. That's the only reason for the 4 stars. It definitely would've been 5. I will def be back to try more of their menu.

My best friend and I decided to have a lil city date, so we found this restaurant on Yelp and it just spoke to us. This restaurant is pretty tiny but the vibes are elite. We loved the decor and ambiance. We decided to sit at the bar so we didn't have to wait too long for a table. We were seated pretty quick and basically asked the bar tender to tell us his favorites and that's what we ordered. The steamed bbq pork buns were good but definitely needed way more filling. The real show stoppers were the sautéed green beans with garlic and the spicy peanut wontons. I literally wanted to hop into the kitchen to see how they made it so I could remake it at home because it was just that delicious. The crispy duck was also super good and I loved that they gave tortillas with it to make lil burritos. Sitting at the bar and yapping we just kept seeing food other people ordered which just has me dying to go back and try other menu items.

Wei is an upgraded Americanized Chinese restaurant playing off the nostalgia of its millennial audience. I mean when is the last time anyone saw mu shu vegetables on a menu? At the same time, the helpful translation of "small plates" into "xiaochi"tells you that the nostalgia is self-aware.I had the General Tso's tofu, because what else would I order at such an establishment. The sauce was excellent, although the tofu consisted of small chewy pieces. I'd venture that some larger chunks of tofu might better soak up all of the sauce. The traditional singular broccoli floret was a nice touch.Good vibes for a weeknight cocktail as well.

Food was decent. I enjoyed every single dish we ordered. Service was attentive. I definitely liked the ambiance, which I think made the experience even better. That being said, it's a good place if you are in the area already.

I love the ambiance in here! Such a cute little spot to pop into for either a light bite or a full dinner. They have all the traditional Chinese dishes that you love, and some really great starters too. My fave was the pork soup dumplings!We went in around dinner time on a Sunday night and were able to get a cozy booth right away. :)

Everything was excellent, I have to try the otter vegetables first! Well worth the money and the service was great. The ambiance was dim and cute.

The food is great but their portions are always small. Every time I get wonton soup it's barely filled. This is basically a portion for one person at $11

What started as a craving for dumplings turned into a night of delicious eats at Wei Williamsburg.We went on a packed Saturday night and waited over an hour, but our patience was rewarded.The service was top-notch once we were seated, and the food came out quickly. I can't emphasize enough how great the dumplings are, but everything we tried was absolutely delicious.The bar has a great vibe. The dim lighting and candles on the tables create a perfect date night atmosphere.Some of the tables are close together, but it's New York City, so that's expected. I can't wait to return to Wei.

Don't pass this place up and give everyone a high five from me.First the food. Can we say delicious choices of soup dumplings, spicy wonton, chicken mein, pork belly fried rice, pickled cabbage and fried shrimp. I can say that everything was made perfectly and had a good fusion Chinese flavor. If you are looking for super traditional Chinese, this place may not be for you. But if you want to spice up ur life, here you go. The service was top notch, my BIL was friends with the servers but I saw how they treated everyone in the restaurant kindly and quick service for sure. The ambiance was eclectic and that is cool. Think of it as a cross between and cool little bar and a coffee boutique mixed with a lively restaurant feel. Yeah that's it. They had a pretty nice selection of whiskeys and beers if you want to snack and have a few at the bar area. All around good place, would def return!

I love this place! So cozy, really great food. Wei's favorite chicken, the sesame tofu, & the hot and sour soup are all amazing!!They have really nice cocktails and they're open late, so this is a go-to for my friends and I before/after a night out. The scallion pancakes are just okay; better to skip them for something else instead!
