This place should not even get 1 star. I'm not sure how this place has a 4 star average. It makes me lose trust in yelp and doesn't give me confidence in relying on reviews to base my decision on. It's Chinese New Years so my girlfriends and I wanted to celebrate by ordering from a nearby "Chinese" restaurant and were utterly disappointed in flavorless general tsao, lo mein and dumplings. Very disappointed and if you want real Chinese then order from Red House. read more

Unbelievably bad service. Waited at least an hour for our food with no warning of the wait. When our food did arrive it was staggered (10-20 minutes between dishes, so our friend who got her food last had to eat alone). In the end, the manager and waiter offered to comp one of our dishes plus two free rounds of drinks, then (surprise!) decided only one of them was free when the bill came. He literally FOUGHT with my boyfriend (who avoids confrontation at all costs) over the check. Awful. AVOID. read more

I get takeouts from Wei about 3 days a week when I'm in town. Some people here mentioned that the food is bland, tasteless, and not authentic enough. -It's not bland at all for my taste. They have exactly what I crave at 2am. -I don't think Wei Williamsburg is supposed to be an authentic Chinese restaurant. They have General Tso's chicken on the menu... It's Chinese food in North America. - Not sure how the Soup dumpling tasted like before but I LOVE them!! I got my girlfriend some soup dumplings when she visited from Atlanta and now she dreams about them. They are addictive. - I honestly don't know how delivery guys are like since I get takeouts all the time but people are super nice and friendly at the restaurant. read more

I don't mean to be hyperbolic, but this was some of the worst Chinese food I've had, and I've had a lot. I ordered delivery based on all the positive reviews and ended up throwing away most of my food. I ordered the tofu kung pao and the soup dumplings. The Kung pao was 95% deep fried tofu coated in extremely oily sauce with little flavor. There were two pieces of overly ripe broccoli and about 4 small slices of peppers. It was not edible. The soup dumplings were much better. I ate them all, but they are nowhere near as good as soup dumplings I've had elsewhere in Williamsburg (namely Kings Co.). Lesson learned. read more

I absolutely love Wei, my favorite take out spot of all time. The Wei spicy chicken is one of my favorite dishes of all time. Put simply it is perfect! read more

I had this delivered on seamless. So keep that in mind. It took an hour to get to me. Spicy peanut wonton were about a 6.1/10. Very strong peanut flavor. But not bad If you're into peanuts. General tso - tasted honestly like buffalo chicken. It depends on what mood you're in...I'm coming off a hangover so it wasn't too bad. Almost took the ranch out but it didn't feel right. 5.8/10 Special Lo Mein - dry and soggy. Sounds like an oxymoron but it's true. Noodles were overcooked and they may have forgotten the sauce? Who knows. New chef? Let's hope. 3.1/10 Won't get delivery again but would go there to eat in person. Let's hope the Sakè is flowing. read more

Excellent chinese food for 4 am excellent hospitality highly recommend. Billy approached me after a less than pleasant experience, made things right read more

Wei's is the BEST. Great staff, great food, amazing vibes. I moved to the area in October and try to go at least once a week for my soup dumpling fix. 10/10 would recommend. Anytime I have friends visiting I make sure we go to Weis and everyone loves it. Make sure to ask for the chili oil to drizzle on top of everything! read more

I got fried pork bao and pork soup dumplings just as a light snack. Everything was wonderful, the bao was nicely baked and had a very light sweetness that was pleasant with the richness of the pork. The soup dumplings were fantastic as well, they held together amazingly and none of the garnishes overpowered the pork and dumpling flavors. Everything was consumed before I even thought of pictures. Overall 8.5/10 read more

the staff is great, and i really enjoy there food! wei's favorite chicken, is my favorite dish, i order here all the time.

The food here is straight up sick, especially the soup dumplings. One of the staff members is quite off (the man with the rings). No drama's if you forget something but no need to be a prick about it. read more

Open until 5:30am -- yes, yes, and yes! From my point of view as a night owl there are so few places (other than bars) on the south side of Williamsburg that are open really late. The food here is decent and fairly priced (very similar to what you'd get at M Noodle by the L), the place was clean and the service was fast and friendly. Wei also gets bonus points from me for having a number of vegetarian friendly items on the menu as well. This place also deserves your support as it's not a chain restaurant, and in view of the fact that many of the old school Chinese late night establishments have been driven out of the hood by gentrification. read more

Delivery guy rang my doorbell non-stop for the 1.5 minutes it took me to answer the door. Food was bland and not hot, if you blindfolded me and fed me the food I would not have been able to identify what it was, it was that lacking in flavor. Will not be ordering again. read more

I had some hope but was let down major. Every single person who gave this place 4 stars or more I noticed is not Chinese... How my food tasted & looked I'm not 100% sure if the owner of this establishment is Chinese or even Asian. I ordered via seamless soup dumplings & roast pork over rice. Total SMH!!! Soup dumplings had barely any soup in them, the skin was too thick, dry & the sauce idk what sauce it is but ugh - typically it would be sweet soy sauce with slices of ginger & the soup dumplings [if made correctly] will have plenty of soup inside and the skin would be thin & slightly chewy. Now onto the roast pork... Sigh! Needless to say I threw out my order. I'm pretty sure they were trying to make "cha siew fan" like the ones you would find in Chinatown [big wong, kam man... etc]. Major fail to the cook... Your copycat of "cha siew fan" is a major flop. I highly advise the owner n cooks of this restaurant to go over their menu and take a trip to Chinatown to see how the dishes are SUPPOSE TO TASTE AND LOOK LIKE. Another Asian restaurant trying to be Asian catering to hipsters & yuppies that don't know what real Asian food taste like. Sorry guys! Wish you guys the best of luck... read more

I now have a local spot thats open super late where I can feed my soup dumpling cravings. Not every soup dumpling can be from Din Tai Fung, especially on the Southside of Williamsburg, so I do not mind that the skin is thicker on these. The string beans with garlic is more fragrant than what I would receive at just a typical take out Chinese spot, so I do appreciate the quality and freshness of the dishes. This place is no frills, straight forward and reasonably priced so you're either into that or not. It's usually not crowded but they seem to be a hot spot for delivery. The owner here is super nice and to clarify as a Taiwanese/Chinese American, everyone in this restaurant is Chinese. It's silly seeing a comment from someone that suggests for the staff to "take a trip to Chinatown to see how the dishes are SUPPOSE TO TASTE AND LOOK LIKE." Telling people from China to go to Chinatown to learn about proper Chinese food is probably one of the rudest yelp reviews I've ever seen. I find the dine-in service here to be accommodative and friendly and to me that makes a difference in the neighborhood restaurants I choose to support. read more

I was shocked when I read the reviews on here. Not only does Wei have the best dumplings in Williamsburg, they also deliver crazy late at night and they are super fast. A few reviews on here are surely from people that are not big dumpling fans. Try ordering anywhere else, and the order will take twice as long. As for the occasional screw up, I've never had a single wrong/bad order and I've ordered from Wei at least 10 times now. They are less than a year old, so I imagine when they were first starting they probably messed up a couple orders here and there. But they are super accurate now. I'd also recommend going there in person to meet the owners and servers. Really nice/friendly. They are part of the neighborhood now and they are making our community here on the south side of the BQE better. ps. their spicy wontons are crazy good too. read more

Came here for a late-night snack after being at a bar across the street. This was the only place open till late, so we decided to give it a go. We had the pork chive pan fried dumplings and they tasted phenomenal. Service was good and so were the prices. read more

There's a big part of me that doesn't want to leave this review, because then people will know how great this place is... but I shall take the risk of sacrificing some elbow room here for all of you! So feel good about that... Wei Williamsburg is amazing. It's been my go-to spot for a couple years now. I've had almost everything on the menu, and this is a place where the ownership really cares and delivers. Wei is a great owner and is amazingly retentive of your orders. Late night is where this place stands apart. A bite after your party times doesn't have to be some garbage from a diner, or a semi-hard pizza slice. The quality here doesn't turn down as the night goes on. Soup dumplings are amazing read more

Good for late night delivery. Unfortunately they do not not how to season their food properly- their fried rice dishes are consistently under seasoned. Good thing it's easily fixed with a little soy/fish sauce. Will continue to be my go to late night food option read more

Was craving Sushi or Dumplings at 2am and this place had a nice selection of Asian dumplings and other quick bite items. Will recommend and be a returning guest. read more

i just got take out here, and it was unbelievably good. Best Chinese food I've had in ages. I ordered: the sesame tofu (comes with white rice) and asked them to make the dish spicy, which they did; a side of plain fried rice (possibly the best Chinese fried rice I've had ever?); and a side of spring rolls (come with dipping sauce. if you're looking for duck sauce, this isn't it. not sure what kind of sauce this is, but it works well). the spring rolls were both crispy and chewy and to me tasted exquisite with the dipping sauce. the white rice was perfect too- the rice pieces were sticking to each other but the pieces were solid rather than mushy. The fried rice was pretty greasy and had egg in it- I thought it was totally perfect. I hate biting into cartilage, so I figured the best way to avoid cartilage is to avoid ordering meat. thankfully the texture of the sesame tofu was crispy, and it tasted fairly spicy and not too sweet (I didn't wish I had ordered chicken instead). i had a really nice experience. would happily order from here again... and to think I almost decided against coming here because I read a bad review that recommended a two-star place instead. I just hope Wei is as consistent as this meal was great! read more

If you're here for ambience go right in, but if you're looking for good chinese this is not it. The duck was beyond disappointing- it was gross. The general tsao was not awful but definitely sub par. No complaints about service, but as far as food goes this is a no, thank you. read more

Loved this spot! Amazing food. Try the scallion rice! You can tell a lot of time and effort is put into making the meals delicious and great for on the go. Highly recommended and wonderful service! read more

See all

I wasn't sure if this spot was really five stars good or if I just happened to be incredibly drunk every time I came here, but then I ordered delivery while stone sober and ... yeah, it really is incredible. Some of the best soup dumplings I've had in New York. Comparable to some of the OGs I've had in Shanghai (XLB capital, fyi). Sometimes the attitude w Chinese cuisine (which has been mastered over a millennia) is why fix what aint broke, but their hot and sour soup really fixed me in a way that made me realize I was broken in all sorts of ways I hadn't ever considered. It had a really surprisingly and unique flavor that has really ruined all other hot and sours for me. The Shanghai style noodles were a bit dry, but listen, I think they were just looking out for me (and maybe themselves). If they were any more perfect, I'd be posted up all day every day. read more

Oh btw they also deliver until VERY late. I have ordered even at 3am!!! I've ordered the pork soup dumplings which I LOVE!!! Shredded beef is delish!!! String beans are amazing!!! So many other things by delivery are so good. Best thing is to dine in though!!! Def with it and are open laaaate!!! read more

Chicken wings were too salty and mostly just fried dough (I had to take off big chunks of it to get to the meat). The meat that was there was really uneven in texture. The lo mein was weirdly congealed (the noodles weren't smooth but kind of granular?). I ordered it with pork belly and there were literally 5 small chunks in the whole dish. read more

Good spot, great food. I would stay away from the scallion pancake. Otherwise, all are good!

wei is my favorite chinese food in the neighborhood! if you get the chance to eat there at night i highly recommend - the vibes are amazing

Wei Williamsburg has been my #1 choice on Seamless whenever I decide to treat myself on a lazy weekend night. They honestly never fail to disappoint--this may or may not be due to the fact that usually order the same exact things every weekend--but if that isn't a test of consistency then I don't know what is. Wei is easily the best Chinese takeout in all of Williamsburg. I've tried M Noodle and they were subpar in every comparable aspect. Delivery has been swift every order, food is always piping hot even through cold winter nights. Oh yeah, they also deliver until 4 AM I think? Same hours all 7 days of the week. I've been ordering from them the past 2 years I've lived in Brooklyn. Go Wei!! read more

I've been ordering from Wei for the past year, and I'm a bit surprised by the negative reviews. Wei is one of the few restaurants in the area that offer more than just your typical "chicken with garlic sauce." They are always very accommodating, and happily substitute shrimp instead of chicken for one of my daughter's favorite dishes. Our deliveries usually arrive within a reasonable amount of time, and the order is always correct. More importantly, the food is delish! read more

Mediocre and slow service. Basically the same quality of any take out Chinese joint, even if it has a cool vibe/music on the inside. Good but wouldn't go back. Ordered to go at the bar and waited 25 minutes for the food to come out. Had to ask where the food was only for them to realize it was sitting on the counter for 5 minutes. read more

Delivery was wonderful. Fairly priced. Came in a reasonable time frame. I liked how everything was placed in the containers in a neat and thoughtful manner. Looking forward to ordering from them again! Thanks for the great service! read more

The food is great, there's nothing to complain about. It doesn't taste like questionable, cheap Chinese food. I love the indoor ambience.

I am yet to find a Chinese place near my apartment that really satifies me. This place is just OK. I ordered Kung Pao tofu, peanut noodles, and spring rolls. The Kung Pao tasted nothing like Kung Pao, just a brown sauce with minimal flavor. The peanut noodles we're mediocre and the spring rolls were clearly microwaved and tasted quite bad. The white rice was good, though! read more

If you order the right subset of the menu it's more like a 4, but I've eaten most things and this is overall about a 3.5. It gets some points for having Dim sum and Szechuan dishes at late night but nothing is wow and everything is pretty expensive. Some things are downright bad, like the salt and pepper chicken. Meat over rice is realllly skimpy. I'm sorry to say but the lo main and Tsos are the best thing and I can't say there aren't 5 other places that do it just as well or better for less loot. read more

There was a wait but the host was very accommodating. They had awesome soup dumplings & great drinks as well ! Will definitely be back.

Wei's is the coolest place in Williamsburg to get good cheap Chinese food with the best playlist and the chilliest crowd This place is read more

Consistently great takeout and quick delivery. A step above your average spot though you'll pay a little extra for the quality. Really good hot and sour soup too which is hard to come across around here. Highly recommended! read more

very fast delivery. the menu has a lot of options to choose from and the. food is delicious.

Good environment and music. Also the best lobster with ginger and scallions in Williamsburg. They open till late night.
