Food was great, staff was helpful and attentive! Group of 6 went for a date night. We ordered different things to try. All items come out as its ready which is nice. The place can hold a lot of people. This was my 2nd time there and this time was no different from the first. I recommend. Some plates can be shared like family style. I didn't get a picture of the clay pot dish, it was good but too salty for me but really good.chicken wings were tasty. Everything was delicious. read more

I was a little underwhelmed. Service was great. Loved the saki based drinks. I could go to Charlie's Bakery and be just as happy when I thought about the food. I love the decor, but wonder how long they'll be around. read more

Wei is a great new addition to a troubled spot in downtown that has been vacant for...a while. I went today for lunch and I was pretty impressed! I ordered the braised beef noodle soup and it was flavorful and delicious. Space looks new and clean, a lot different than it looked as the previous business. I need to come back and check it out for dinner so I can try something from the dinner menu (and also get an adult beverage)! read more

My husband and I had the opportunity to visit Wei, a new Chinese restaurant in downtown Anchorage during their soft launch and so we lept at the opportunity. We made reservations for Wei and wound up there half an hour early. We sat at the bar for the vibes. We ordered the 9 grid sampler box, spicy cucumber salad, shrimp fried rice, green beans with garlic, lobster scallion noodles, and pork xiao long bao. I noticed a lot of similar favorite dishes that I would frequently order at Din Tai Fung, so I was very excited upon ordering. They even have a window where you can see the chef make the xiao long bao!!!! There is a LOT of seating at this restaurant! The chandelier at the entrance is beautiful, the under counter lighting at the bar is cool as well. I love how upscale everything looks. It's also cool how the have an order kiosk at the front for those that just want to place a Togo order to take home. Since we sat at the bar, the bartender Phoebe, served us, she was very attentive, respectful, and kind. I've read some of the other reviews and one of them was sort of shocking, coming down on a brand new restaurant while it's in its soft opening is just not the energy Anchorage needs. I have been so excited to see new life being infused into downtown Anchorage. Having lived and traveled throughout the country I've always had access to Din Tai Fung or Doughzone so having something that is even remotely close is a huge win for me. Dining in should be an experience, it's not fast food, so there shouldnt be an expectation of crazy speed, anyway I digress but thus far Wei has been an experience that I have enjoyed. First items out of the kitchen were the garlic green beans and the shrimp fried rice. Both dishes looked beautiful in least in presentation. The shrimp fried rice was a bit bland and dry, but soy sauce fixed that. The garlic green beans were *chefs kiss* excellent. Next up was the sampler box and lobster scallion dish. The lobster is sooooo tender!! The sampler box has a great mix of appetizer dishes. My fav was the cucumber salad and the vegetable egg roll. The xiao long bao came up next a long with a complimentary vegan dumpling. The ginger had a nice ginger flavor and the wrapper was a little thicker than I was expecting. The vegan dumpling was so delicious and flavorful too! All in all this place is setting itself up to be a phenomenal place and I see myself coming here more and more!! read more

So happy to have a new spot! Dim Sum is my jam so happy to check it out! Love the window to watch them make stuff!! It reminds me of another amazing Dim Sum place. Food was good. They were very quick as well, which was nice because we didn't expect to stop for lunch and we had our kiddo. Staff was very friendly! This place absolutely has potential and I cannot wait to see it. Grow will be back again to add another review once we have dinner here. The pork dim sum was very good! I'm actually super jealous of the dinner menu after seeing some of the photos. It looks amazing next time we will absolutely be getting noodles. read more

A wonderful start to a great new restaurant in downtown Anchorage. We went in for dinner this evening and enjoyed: - Great Sake based cocktails - Spicy cucumber salad and pork belly bao sliders - Wei shredded chicken with pancakes (our favorite, absolutely delicious!) - Lobster scallion noodles The staff was sweet and visiting the tables to share about the restaurant getting started and encouraged sharing feedback. Great ambiance, and all around a fabulous experience. Highly recommend! read more

Very good food, and they offer military discount. I got the beef and noodle soup. Very good I would recommend read more

I want to start by saying this place has a lot of potential. There were three people in my party, and it was all of our first time dining here. Our server was friendly but seemed a bit scattered, as did the rest of the staff. There were 3 employees on the floor with only several tables sat by the time we were able to order, yet service moved slowly, almost as if the restaurant were slammed, which it wasn't. We were confused about what was happening. We ordered the 9-grid sampler, shrimp chow mein, pork belly bao sliders, and two specials. Unfortunately, the sampler wasn't put in when we ordered and didn't arrive until halfway through the meal. One special was pork belly with sauce and rice, and the other was fried pork with a sweet chili-style sauce, also served with rice. The 9-grid sampler was good but pretty basic, wouldn't get it again (6/10). The bao were okay. Two people in our group said they oddly reminded them of Costco combo pizza (7/10). The shrimp chow mein had a nice garlic flavor but needed salt and was only lukewarm (6/10). My husband enjoyed the pork belly special (5.5/10). The fried pork special was the standout dish of the night, easily the best thing we had (8.5/10). My biggest complaint was that all of the dishes came out at very different times, which is especially frustrating when the food can be shared family-style. Overall, given the price point and expectation of a higher-quality dining experience, we left pretty disappointed. read more

The food was amazing, service was timely, genuine and attentive. Great ambiance and relaxing environment. Will definitely be back to try more menu items! read more

It had a great ambience but that's it. Food was overpriced for what you got and it's not super flavorful. I did go at the soft opening so hopefully they got some of those kinks out!!!!. The service was prompt though ajd the drink were yummy read more

The menu selection is ample with plenty of choices both meat and vegetables variety. Two of us are lunch there and tried 3 dishes - and a lovely jasmine tea. Enjoyed the food being served to our table by robot! The human server made some really good menu choice digestions for us! Looked like plenty of options for the adult beverages ! Will definitely go back soon! read more

I had the immense pleasure and treat to dine with Wei on night 1 of their soft opening week. We had a table of 5, were greeted promptly & warmly, and escorted through the BEAUTIFUL dining room to our table right away. Our server was the delightful and bubbly Phoebe. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped guide our experience the entire way, recommending sake/cocktail pairings and suggesting menu items that would complement other items we had ordered to share/try. We had the soup of the day (which was Hot&Sour, beautifully balanced and piping hot), chicken wings, vegan dumplings, lobster & scallion noodles, beef short ribs, bok choy, green beans (AN ABSOLUTE MUST TRY- think Din Tai Fung but BETTER), and a few different types of hot and cold sake. If we had room in our bellies to order more, we absolutely would have! We watched the GM, Chris, touch base with every single table in the restaurant, which further exemplified how much this entire staff CARES and wants their patrons to have the best possible time in their establishment. Everything was a total 10/10- from service, to environment, to the food itself and the speed at which everything was coursed/arrived at our table. I cannot speak highly enough about this KNOCKOUT of a new restaurant and dining experience for Anchorage. Do yourself a favor and go check it out for yourself!!! read more

Wei Restaurant - Unfortunately, phones did NOT eat first, but this was the remnants at the end of our evening! - Chinese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Service was good, but food seriously lacked flavor. Not a lot of food for the price. Did not understand why the robot delivers the food just for the server to hand it to you off the food. Beautiful place, but step it up with what you're serving. Maybe I'm bias from growing up near Seattle where we had great Dim Sum, but if that's what you're looking for, save your money and go to Seattle read more

The Peking Duck was amazing. Came with divine hoisin sauce, wraps, cucumber and scallions. We Assembled a little duck dumpling at the table. Spicy tofu was flavorful with thick sauce and not too spicy. The bok choy was garlicky and tasty. Decor is classy and simple. The duck needs a 3-hour advance reservation. read more

We had a friend visiting from Seattle and took him to Anchorage's newest and best Chinese restaurant. We've been several times since they opened late 2025 and the food and service last night was excellent once again. We started with fresh & hot Pork Xiao Long Bao and some spicy cucumber salad appetizers. Then the main dishes started coming out (they are delivered as they are prepared, so no sitting under a heat lamp); Wonton soup, shrimp fried rice, green beans with garlic, Wei shredded chicken with Chinese pancakes, and Prime Rib short ribs! We'll be back soon read more

Wanted to love this place but... The Fried rice was oily not just normal oil. No egg to absorb the oil. Presentation was on spot. The long bau's were over steamed. The pork belly baus were spectacular. The bok choy with garlic was oily and not eatable the oil pooled on the plate with very little garlic. No soy or salt offered trust me it needed it. The sauces were good. The appetizer platter had mostly good items. (Fried shrimp from a bag) the cabbage, "egg rolls" and pickles cucumbers were good. Worth a shot to go but they need to up Their game. read more

All the dim sum options seemed like they were cheap frozen items. Sampler box did not include the spicy potatoes, broccoli salad or the bbq pork and nothing was said about the substitutions. Frozen fried shrimp was a sub and I was with someone that had a shellfish allergy and it would not have been ordered had we been told. The others were swapped with a tiny iceberg lettuce salad and premade seaweed salad that came out of a tub. Soup dumplings were dry with almost no broth. Did not try any entrees. Service was inattentive and nearly nonexistent. Being 2 of 4 people at the bar it took far too long to get a drink, nothing was said about substitutions the kitchen made to what was ordered, and to top it off nobody came to ask how the food was or check in. I understand that a soft opening will have its hiccups, but the fact that not one person between bartender or manager cared to ask anything about the food or service during the peak time to dial things in is very telling of how little attention and care is being put in to this launch. read more

We celebrated my friends birthday at Wei Chinese Restaurant on a busy Saturday night and had an awesome experience! Our server was incredible, funny, and super attentive while still having tables on the other side of the restaurant! (which is quite a large restaurant) The food was unreal and then our server brought out our cake and a robot that sang happy birthday. 10/10 experience , I would absolutely come back and bring more people to this downtown gem. read more

My party of 2 were waiting there for "eternity", hoping to get an acknowledgment from 1 of the 2 waitstaff in view, but none was offered. We moved further inside, a waitress looked our way but turned away. The restaurant was not entirely full. Either way, it would have been polite for them to say something. After another idle moment, we decided to leave. It's a pity. read more

High expectations for Peking Duck --but 1/2 Duck @$68 is a bit pricey especially since skin was not crisp and crepes small and very difficult to separate--I would strongly recommend more time with duck preparation--larger portions, larger crepes, CRISPY skin and charge a $100 --overall the restaurant is long on style ( beautiful service china) and short on substance--we were still hungry after $220 meal for two --might try it again in a few months to see if Peking Duck improves -- read more

Was recommended to go here by some colleagues. It was a good Chinese restaurant in Anchorage Propper. We enjoyed the food and the service was really quite good. read more

Wei's Restaurant is pleasingly aesthetic, I loved the decor and the utensils. I was really impressed with the food especially the garlic green beans, who knew something so simple turned out to be out of this world! If I had a question regarding the menu my tables waitress Phoebe answered for us and was filled with knowledge of the restaurant and food, she checked in with us regularly which we really appreciated. Overall, even though it was just a soft opening, I would definitely go back to Wei's restaurant once they are officially opened! read more
