Ate dinner at Te Wei on 10/30/12...
Food:
Grilled kabobs are the specialty of Te Wei, and the menu is largely focused on the many kabob choices: lamb, chicken, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, beef, sausage, shrimp, etc...
I ordered 1 each of the lamb, beef & chicken gizzard kabobs. All were tasty, albeit slightly over-spiced (with five spice, I believe). But, at a ridiculously cheap $1.00 per kabob, that becomes a non-factor...
I also ordered a baked wheat cake filled with red bean paste... this was ho-hum, the cake itself being dry and having only a very small amount of red bean paste inside (Chef Liu does a MUCH better version of this), and a baked wheat cake with pork - which, interestingly enough, came out looking like a mini pork sandwich - the pork itself was juicy, but the cake, err bun(?) was bland and dry.
Service:
One waiter (the owner?), was working the small room AND cooking at the same time. Having to juggle both jobs could not be easy.... yet, he did an acceptable job of it.
Atmosphere:
A very small operation tucked into a nondescript shopping plaza on Buford Hwy..... Te Wei is the name on the signage at the entrance to the plaza, but "Bei Jing Kabob" is the name posted above the restaurant itself.... hmmm.... Not sure what to make of that...
The interior of Te Wei/Bei Jing is a small dining room of maybe 10 tables, all of which sport a McDonald's style plastic/formica/steel look.
Oh, and they do have free wi-fi, AND they are open LATE - Midnight during the week and 1AM on Fri & Sat.!!
Overall:
Te Wei is a nice place to stop into for a quick (and cheap) bite, but I wouldn't drag a group of friends in there for a multi-course full-blown dinner... it's not that kind of place...
Overall Rating:
3 & 1/2 stars
