"Every area needs a brightly lit, functional, and extremely tasty restaurant like Master Wei. The Hammersmith branch is on a noisy, inelegant part of Hammersmith Road, just off the hellish roundabout, but acts as a refuge for anyone in need of chewy biang-biang noodles and a cold pint of Asahi. The menu is identical to the original Xi’anese spot in Bloomsbury and while there is a bit of discrepancy here with the odd loose potsticker wrapper, it’s fail-safe for an informal and delicious fix." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"When a restaurant expands, the follow-up locations can run the risk of falling flat, but there is something deliciously functional about Master Wei’s canteen in Hammersmith. This rectangular box won’t win any awards for design or fussy hospitality, and who cares? All that matters is that the biangbiang noodles remain thick and chewy and that the Asahi on draft keeps on pouring. photo credit: Jake Missing If a Wednesday night is on a strict time limit, or one of your colleagues needs to jump on the tube sharpish, there are few better restaurants. Yes, there’s a steady stream of delivery drivers, and the potstickers are a little roughly formed, but the noodles are inarguably delicious and every sauce here has salt, sourness, chilli heat, and garlic, garlic, garlic. The formula is nigh-on impossible to argue with and, truth to be told, we’d do untold things to have a Master Wei on every main road in London. Food Rundown Fried Pork And Seaweed ‘Pot-sticker’ Dumplings There’s a pleasingly crisp shell on these dumplings but unfortunately they’re a bit haphazardly formed and the filling can easily slip out. It’s well-seasoned, if quite dry, but they still go down a treat dipped in a little vinegar and soy. photo credit: Jake Missing Vegetarian BiangBiang Noodles Meat is great, except these noodles don’t need anything apart from the punchy, umami-heavy chilli sauce they come in. They’re thick and pale like a Brit in Benidorm, so give them a mix until every chewy belt is covered. PlayMute video credit: Jake Missing" - Jake Missing
