" Bai Wei is a staple in our household. The soup dumplings are a family favorite! The service has always been warm and welcoming; however, I will say that it can be a bit slow during peak hours. Still, the food makes up for it. The atmosphere is very vibrant and inviting! This is a must-visit for anyone in Chinatown. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service, while friendly, was quite slow. We had to wait too long for our drinks and even longer for our food. However, when it came, it was quite good! The dumplings were full of flavor, and I loved the beef and broccoli. An overall solid experience even if the wait was a bit longer than I would have liked. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I took my family to Bai Wei for dinner, and it was a great treat! We ordered a whole array of dishes—you really can’t go wrong here. The black truffle soup dumplings were super tasty, and the three cup chicken was a nice touch! The staff were friendly, which made the experience even better. The wait was a bit long, but it allowed us to soak in the restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommend for families, although be patient with the wait time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bai Wei was not what I expected. I went in thinking I would get some great dumplings, but while they were good, I felt the flavor was muted. The overall ambiance was pleasant, but the service left me wanting more. I had to wait to get my check for a long time. I may give it another shot in the future, but this visit was rather underwhelming. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm so glad I finally tried Bai Wei! Everything from the service to the food exceeded my expectations. My friend and I shared lots of different dishes, including the garlic prawns and the spicy noodles; each dish was superb! The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the prices were quite reasonable—definitely worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bai Wei really surprised me in the best way possible! The dumplings were incredibly flavorful and the spicy dishes were just the right amount of heat. I was with my family, and we ordered a variety of plates to share. The ambiance is inviting and holds a nice warmth to it, making it perfect for a family lunch. Plus, it’s reasonably priced too. Overall, this is one of my favorite places to go now! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just visited Bai Wei for some late-night dumplings, and they did not disappoint! The food was freshly made, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. It’s a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a casual outing. Would definitely go back if I’m ever in the area again! " (*Curated Review*)
