Wei’s - Williamsburg

This late night dining restaurant is a gem in the heart of Williamsburg. The food was delicious and the service is with a smile. We sat at the bar and vibed out to the great playlist and chatted with the manager/bartender Will. Make sure you try the signature Golden Monkey cocktail and the salt n pepper fish or shrimp are my personal favs!

Such an amazing experience here! Everything we ordered was delicious, so fresh and full of flavor. The steamed dumplings are light with a flavorful juicy filling, and the wonton soup was perfect and comforting. The peanut chili wontons also had the perfect kick, and the scallion pancakes were crispy, warm, and super satisfying. I ordered The Bird of Paradise cocktail which was on point. Beautiful calm/ cozy atmosphere. Great service 💯💯. Can't wait to come back to try the sesame chicken.

I can’t recommend Wei’s enough. I’ve been coming here for years, and it continues to be one of those rare neighborhood spots that gets everything right. The ambiance is stylish, yet cozy, with a warmth that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It works just as well for a relaxed weeknight dinner as it does for a weekend outing. They're also one of the only late night food spots in the neighborhood. The food is consistently excellent. Expect seriously delicious Chinese dishes that feel high quality without being overpriced. I honestly love everything I’ve had here. They even have gluten free options! Add in a strong cocktail and wine list, and it’s easy to see why this place is perfect for group dinners, date nights, or even just grabbing a seat at the bar and treating yourself. The service deserves its own applause. The staff is attentive, incredibly kind and you never feel rushed. Even when there’s a line out the door, they let you enjoy your meal at your own pace, which is increasingly rare and deeply appreciated. Between the food, the drinks, the service, and the welcoming atmosphere, I can't recommend this place enough.

It’s a decent Chinese join in Brooklyn but does not worth a second visit The egg drop soup was too salty in our taste and the Hakka noodle had a poached egg on top The dumplings were ok but nothing that will make us go back there The seating was a bit tight

The best “upscale” but unfussy Chinese food in the area, ie. not fancy but not greasy counter either. The interior is lovely, casual yet cool. We always order Wei’s Spicy Chicken and the blistered green beans. My husband loves this place so much that we waited outside in 15 degree weather for a table. For this reason I do wish they took reservations. And that they served the excellent spicy peanut wonton sauce on noodles !

I absolutely love the food here and have been a consistent customer for the last 8 or so years. They have the best egg drop soup - extremely flavorful and never a weird texture or coagulation like a lot of egg drop soups have. Some of my other favorites include their veggie wonton soup, Wei’s special chicken and general Tsos tofu. I mostly order takeout but their restaurant is really cute and would be a great date spot. My only complaint is I wish they served homemade crunchy noodles with their soup.

It’s wild that I didn’t even know this place served food. I always assumed it was just a neighborhood bar. We actually ended up here after the bartender from the spot next door (whose kitchen had already closed) recommended it. And I’m so glad they did! The food was surprisingly good, the service was solid, and the prices were just right. There are at least three more things on the menu I’m eyeing, so I’ll definitely be back. I'm looking forward to trying the dessert next time around!

This place and I have been through everything together. I have been here / taken out countless times since moving to the neighborhood. It’s simply perfect and gorgeous in every WEI. I’ve been here with my brother, my friends, on dates and alone. The food is always fantastic (I’ve had nearly half of their huge menu), the vibes immaculate and the staff so cool and friendly. (photos from at least 5 separate occasions)

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.

Have never been so disappointed at a restaurant before Ive never written a yelp review before but feel the need to express what I experienced tonight. We didn't come in with high expectations because we were just looking for sustenance. Ordered a total of 4 dishes: bbq pork buns, plain scallion pancake, fried chicken dumplings, and ma pao tofu. Scallion pancake and fried dumplings came out and it was room temperature, not even within 5 mins of ordering. Anyone who tries it can tell they both came straight from the freezer. The food had almost no flavor, only way we were able to consume it was by drenching it soy sauce and hot chili oil. Even then, it couldn't mask the lack in flavor. Next, the pork buns came out and there was practically no pork filling in the buns. Other reviews have pictures of the inside, I can find better pork buns at the Chinese supermarket and steam it myself than this place. Lastly, ma pao tofu is not a dish that you can easily mess up yet. Granted it was the only dish that had any sort of flavor, it was the wrong flavor, and tasted nothing like the dish. Additionally it was cooked with hard tofu instead of soft tofu, completely missing the point of the dish. This place is a half ass attempt of money grab by selling "Chinese food" yet the dishes are barely edible I wouldn't even take it for free. The only decent thing about this place is the interior where they hang like 20 Chinese lanterns and put on dim lighting, probably to hide the shitty the food looks in real lighting. Anyone who gave this place higher than a maybe 2 star had absolutely no experience with real Chinese cuisine and put shame to other Chinese restaurant that does it better for cheaper.

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. :)

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!

Great place to grab some affordable Chinese food with lots of vegetarian options! I would definitely recommend getting the garlic green beans (SOOOO GOOD) and the spicy peanut wontons. The wontons definitely are more peanut than chili oil so if you don't like peanut butter I wouldn't get this. The veggie dumplings were also really good but just normal steamed veggie dumplings. Ask for the chili oil on the side, it's worth it. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and I will be back :)

Speechless. This place is incredible. Not only are the vibes so cool, but the ambiance is fun and chill. I love that they are open late. Working in the industry, it's a blessing they are open when I'm hungry and tired from work and need great food with impeccable service and ambiance. The peanut wontons are delicious, my go to. I also love the Veggie Lo Mein. You really can't order a bad dish here. Save room for dessert. Also, their drink menu is endless. A nice Amaro night cap is a great go to. Cheers Wei's! Keep up the fabulous work.

Came to Wei per a friend's recommendation and I was certainly not disappointed. The best Chinese food I've had in a while! First of all, this place has an amazing ambiance. Cute decor and great playlist -- definitely a good spot for date night. Service was fab too. Super attentive with ensuring drinks were always filled, etc. For starters we ordered the egg drop soup and spicy peanut wontons. Both were incredible, but I'd say the spicy peanut wontons are definitely a must. The soup was way bigger than we were expecting! We got the sesame chicken and beef lo mein for our main entrees. I have to say this was maybe the best lo mein I've ever had. The beef was so juicy and added a really delicious flavor to the noodles. The sesame chicken was super crunchy with the right amount of sweetness. This will definitely be my new spot for Chinese delivery!

I went for a birthday dinner and it was my first time at this restaurant. As a Chinese person that have spend time both in China and the US, the food in this restaurant is literally so bad. It tastes like those Chinese takeout place and so Americanized. I will never come back bc we spent over $50 per person for the food that doesn't even taste good ...

Super good spot with excellent food, service, and ambiance! Went for food past midnight and it far exceeded all expectations for any food let alone a late night find. Quiet enough to hear people, cozy booths, cute Asian inspired lamps. All apps and entrees mostly between $10-20 dollars too. I will definitely be back.

Cute little Chinese spot in Williamsburg! The wontons in peanut sauce along with the lo mein were definitely my fav dishes that I would happily go back for. However, next time I would skip the general tsos tofu since it was a bit too sweet for me and lacked balance. - @nyconthetable

Amazing food and drinks, love this spot. All the dumplings choices are great and the shanghai cowboy cocktail is spectacular. Also, gotta get the pickled veggies when you're here!

Ordered late night takeout from this spot. Got their Shrimp Lo Mein and Egg drop soup. Everything was so delicious. The veggies were fresh, noodles were perfectly cooked and egg drop soup just hit the spot. 5/5 recommend this spot for takeout!

really solid spot and we got lucky because we didnt have a reservation on a saturday night. it's a small place. ambiance was very cute and casual, not super fancy. they have all sorts of beverages, cocktails too. We got a few different things - dumplings (good), lo mein (very good), wei's special chicken (excellent), sesame chicken (eh)

Take out was very subpar. Kung pao chicken had no flavor at all, chicken tasted "old" and was chewy. I had to add a lot of chili crisp to it at home to eat it. I got the $20 pea shoots as well and they were a tough mess in a bowl of way too much liquid. They are one of my fav vegetables but these I just ended up throwing away. I never had them when the leaves were tough it was odd. For dishes $18+ this place was terrible- at least my takeout experience was.

Good appetizers-chicken wings and spring rolls. The entrees were tasteless. The service was quick and the ambiance was fine. It was a disappointment

Cozy and delicious late night food spot! I highly recommend dining in if you can because of how comforting the space is. Perfect for a casual date or getting wine drunk with close friends. Incredibly inclusive menu for vegetarians and vegans. I was shocked by all of the vegetarian options (even vegetarian hot and sour soup).

Always on point, dleicious, fresh, and the vibe is great. One of the best parts is they are open late! The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Chinese dishes, with a good selection of vegetarian options as well as meat based. I started off with the scallion pancake, crispy and but soft... perfectly cooked and had a great texture with a nice contrast from the dipping sauce. For my main course, I ordered the Eggplant with garlic sauce, and it was delicious. Cooked to perfection and the sauce was sooo flavorful, a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Wei has a Full bar with lots of options and bartenders who are very skilled and knowledgeable. I received a perfect martini cocktail to complement my meal and they have a range of Gin to choose from like Dorothy Parker, Brooklyn...etc. The vibe is intimate but casual, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating depending on the time of year you come. Round booth seating and tables as well as seats at the bar. The service at Wei was also top-notch. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Wei to anyone looking for a great Chinese dining experience in Williamsburg, or just a place to have a casual drink and a bite. I'll be back.

Service is always smooth and welcoming. Come here often and bring everyone that's visiting to this spot,

My sisters and I went out to celebrate a birthday and we had a amazing time! The decor, lighting, and paintings were very nice! We ordered a few appetizers shrimp roll, spring roll, and vegetables dumplings fresh and delicious. As as a entree ordered fried rice and the eggplant it was amazing big portions for family style sharing. The service was good.

The food was outstanding! Always a lovely atmosphere and great service. I was impressed by both the speed at which the food was ready despite it being busy.

I found myself hungry at midnight after a LONG day of walking. I consider myself a lucky coming across Wei's. The ambiance, service and food were all STELLAR. Our waiter was very helpful and recommended the hongshao fish which ended up being our absolute favorite. The fish was cooked perfectly, it melted in my mouth and the sauce was delicious too. I consider myself a spring roll connoisseur. I found myself ordering an additional vegetable spring roll after the first bite of one. The fried dumplings were very tasty too. I'm from DC but Wei's will be on my itinerary each and every time I come to NY.

Great for late night Chinese I ordered from here multiple times you can never go wrong with the whole menu

We went here after July 4th fireworks. A solid late night/ post drinking choice. definitely not traditional, not too pricey either. Ambience was cool. Service was quick and attentive. Food was delicious and quick. What's not to like?

I love the sesame chicken and salt and pepper shrimp the soup dumplings are really good too (but not for delivery)

Just go here, don't even think about it for another minute. Let's start with the ~ambiance~ because it's truly a vibe and draws you right in. You know you want to sit down and check out the menu as soon as you step in. Okay, now the food. I was eating solo so I only got to try two dishes, BUT they were both incredible. Is it crazy if I want to go back tomorrow because I forgot to get the spicy peanut wontons? I simply must try them. The dishes I did get (veggie wonton soup and Wei's lo mein) were absolutely delicious. Would definitely get them again.

I order from here constantly. The food is tasty and the prices are pretty good too. They also have a decent sized restaurant for groups. Some of my favorite dishes: -Hai Pai spicy noodle (comes with pork) -Hai Pai Chicken -Spicy peanut wonton (veggie) AMAZING!! I get it every time -General Tso's -Kung Pao Chicken -Wei's Lo Mein The spicy peanut wontons are definitely my favorite. Cooked well and their peanut sauce is just so good!!! I can't get enough! But their food in general is pretty fantastic! Even my partner, who is very picky when it comes to Chinese food, loves their dishes!

So good. I'll go again and order the pepper shrimp with the pork soup dumplings. Delish

Favorite local spot! Our go to are the string beans, noodle soup, and hai pai chicken. The vibes are impeccable too. Highly recommend!

ILWSM !! favorite restaurant in bk and honestly America Don't go though because I like not having to wait to be seated But if you do go, get the spicy peanut wontons (veggie)!

Excellent portions, the service is excellent. The atmosphere is active but tight. The price is great! .Check it out. You won't regret it!

One of our favorite Brooklyn Chinese spots! Ambience is really Relaxing and chill The food is always on point and FRESH, I hope you come thirsty because as you take ONE SIP the waiter is right next to you REFILL your cup (I'm being serious) . Great place overall

Amazing ambiance, great for first dates or really any dates. Food is super authentic, I hear the owners parents taught all the chefs and sometimes come cook. Service is wonderful could not recommend this place more.

Best Chinese food in Brooklyn. Not too expensive for how vibey/busy the restaurant can get, and the food is great. I always get the steamed pork buns, wontons in peanut sauce, and hot n sour soup. Chicken lo mein is good too. This place is fantastic.

Ordered takeout- my dish included a side of white rice. I asked to switch it to fried rice and was told it would be an up charge but not how much. The fried rice was $8 and included nothing but rice and a little bit of the sauce- no veggies or other toppings. Not at all worth it- even the flavor of the sauce was underwhelming. The dumplings I had ordered were good, but didn't include anything on the side to dip them into

Whoever was in the kitchen May 3, 2023 deserves a raise. I've been here multiple times and it's always been good but tonight it was great, down to the service. 5 stars much deserved!

They had the audacity to burn General Tso's chicken this much and still serve it. Terrible

This Chinese food spot is the definition of IYKYK It's easy to walk past but once you grab a bite it's hard to forget ! They few times I've had they're Fare it's been fresh and delicious The decor is instagrammable , which is a plus Haven't tried out the drink selection so I'll get back to y'all on that MAKE YOUR WAY TO WEI

Amazing food! The soup in this place is incredible, I really recommend to try their drinks too, have fun!

Food was amazing especially the spicy crab. Quick service and amazing customer service

Excellent Chinese rest. Large delicious soups and regular entrees tasty. Try it you'll like it.

I don't normally leave reviews but I felt obligated to after my last experience. I have ordered in from Wei several times and always have a great experience. This most recent time i ordered the fried rice and Wei special chicken and as I was eating found a piece of metal in my food. :( looks like it was a piece is steel wool. Super sad, will probably not be ordering from here again.

BEST PAN FRIED NOODLES I HAVE EVER HAD!! I really enjoyed my food here and it was nice to find something open later. It's pretty dark inside the restaurant but it's still a cute vibe

Food is absolutely amazing! One of my favorite spots in BK! The green beans are absolutely to die for!

Got the Pork Soup Dumplings, Veggie Dumplings, Steam BBQ Pork Buns, Spicy Peanut Wonton, and Scallion Pancake. Could go without veggie dumplings and BBQ Pork Buns, but the rest are a must. The spicy peanut is BATHING in sauce it's so good. Also the scallion pancake is incredibly noteworthy. Don't miss out on the Matcha Ice cream. Staff are dope and so are the vibes.

Ambiance and vibes were on 10! my friends and i stumbled upon wei on an offchance for finding late night eats and we were not disappointed. their kitchen closes at 1:45am allowing us more than enough time to eat to our hearts content! the hei pei chicken was delicious and has left me wondering when ill make my way back again!

Delicious food! The soup dumplings could have used some more soup/filling, but they were hearty and thick. The crispy duck was also delicious and I loved the side of "tortilla" it came with.

I wanted to dine at Kings Co Imperial for trendy sit-down Chinese in Williamsburg, only 5 minutes away. There was a wait so I was outvoted, while Wei was mostly empty and looked nice and welcoming. Service was very accommodating, but unfortunately the food was mediocre to decent. Likely due to low turnover, not all the ingredients tasted fresh. Pork Soup Dumplings were too doughy, and felt like they were on the menu for the sake of saying there's XLB, but really an afterthought. Peking Duck with pancakes was also tough and dehydrated, as if left out in the fridge for days. Huge letdown that they would serve this dish, clearly past its prime. The others dishes were good, including Bok Choy with Mushrooms, Hai Pai Ribs Shanghai-style, and Wei's Spicy Chicken with chilis. Of all things, their Fried Rice was a standout dish. It was pretty darn great, and if all their dishes were executed that well, this place would be booming.

This place is so great, it's not even fair to other restaurants. The ambiance and service are consistently great and certainly warrant regular visits, and the food is so delicious that it's worth it just to order takeout from this place (and I do all the time). The salt and pepper shrimp is phenomenal, and the Wei's Spicy Tofu is so good, it'll make you wanna slap your mom. You're dumb if you don't go here!

Hidden gem, a comedy show at Barclays center ran later than expected causing us to miss our reservations because the restaurant closed lol it was after midnight when the show was over and Wei was the only thing opened (we need more late kitchens in Brooklyn) I had the black pepper shrimp, along with spring rolls and dumplings. Shrimp was a tad bit salty, food presentation wasn't that great, everything seemed like it was just tossed on the plate with no effort. I'd return again if I were in the area or if I needed another late night kitchen but it's not somewhere I'd set out to go.

there are way better places in the neighborhood. food is not very good. Ordered pick up and super disappointed
