We went to Ben Wei last night for a Birthday Celebration, and was pleasantly surprised. From arrival to the last course. The food was extraordinary and we struggled to finish it all. All meals came with a bit of a twist making it that much better. The service was just as good as the food with our waiter being friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be going back to Ben Wei and will highly recommend it.

Awesome sushi and fabulous main and desserts make Ben Wei a delight! Lovely fresh flavors and generous portions guaranteed. Excellent value for money and delicious fare are a great draw card even outside of Restaurant Week. I shall return for more soon...

excellent food. plenty of it. the sushi especially was divine.
good service.
appreciate that patrons automatically get a jug of water with lemon, instead of the 'still or sparkling' question that always bombards us on sitting down

will definately be back for the sushi!!

The service was impeccable, all the waitpersons and hostesses were very friendly. We could get through our meal at a leisurely pace and savoured every bite. The portions coming out of the kitchen were extremely generous and so tasty. By the time dessert came around we weren't sure if we would have enough space left for it!

I definitely cannot wait to go back to Ben Wei's and will be telling all my friends about it.

My partner and I had a 4 course dining experience, starting with the calamari dish and tempura prawn dish, followed by two sushi dishes. We both enjoyed these, and highly recommend Ben Wei's sushi. For mains I had the spicy beef dish, apparently a house favourite, but found it quite inedible, and had to send it back...

My partner and I had a 4 course dining experience, starting with the calamari dish and tempura prawn dish, followed by two sushi dishes. We both enjoyed these, and highly recommend Ben Wei's sushi. For mains I had the spicy beef dish, apparently a house favourite, but found it quite inedible, and had to send it back. Our waiter and the chef were utterly gracious in swapping it for the chicken cashew nut dish, which I thoroughly enjoyed. We finished off with the most delicious chocolate spring rolls I've ever had, and the coconut ice cream, which was OK. Despite some culinary misses, overall we had a very enjoyable experience, and will surely visit again for more sushi.
