The venue inside a mall/office node is somewhat dissapointing as it is an ambience killer for any restaurant. We had the Restaurant Week 3-course special with most of the party enjoying the dim sum potstickers, salmon roses and pork ribs. The Ben Wei secret sauce recipe must hopefully stay a secret and die with the chef - the spicy, sweet BBQ gochujang sauce was a mess but the ribs were delicious if you managed to imagine the sauce away. The service was attentive and we enjoyed interacting with the manager, Stephan.

Great start to restaurant week. We were pleasantly surprised by this gem of a restaurant in Wembley Square. From the host, Stephan, who was friendly and welcoming and patiently explained to us how things worked and took into account our food allergies and provided alternatives. To the warm and inviting ambience. And the reason we were there, the tantalising dishes. Starters were wings and pot stickers and they were sublime. 2nd course was salmon roses which was good but the main course was brilliant. The spicy beef and sweet and sour park packed so much flavour and was crunchy and delicious. The 80s inspired music was a winner and we could not help singing along to some of the tracks. Such a shame they close so early though.
