Truly authentic Chinese. Service is excellent and so is the food. One of my favorite places for lunch. As far as I am concerned this is the best Chinese food in Grand Rapids. read more

I AM IN LOVE! This is my all time favorite restaurant in Grand Rapids. Definately a MUST EAT kinda place. Eveytime i visit i pick up atleast 3 pounds of Roast pork and a variety of steamed and fried DIM SUM dishes. The best ever! I can't help but spend over $50.00 worth of food here whenever i visit just to take home. The roasted pork dangles from the window and you just choose how many pounds you'd like. Along side are the roasted ducks, pig feet, and a bunch more yummy meats. I believe the roast pork is $7.00 per pound and if you dine in, you get a plate of it for $8.00. The Dim Sum is served kinda like a ali carte brunch. I believe its from open to 3:00 p.m that they roll the cart around and you just choose which one you'd like. Spring Rolls(my fav), Shu mai, steamed dumplings, sesame balls, beef tripe, pork spare ribs in a black bean garlic sauce, sticky rice in banana leaves stuffed with sausages...SO MANY more different things. It's perfect because it comes in small steamers with about 4 pieces each of whatever you order that are just about bite size. If it's after 3:00p.m. i believe you just order it off the menu. Prices are very reasonable. From about $2.00-$5.00 for an order of Dim sum. Other dishes that are must try... Chinese Broccoli Fried Squid Shark Fin soup Fried Talapia Fish There is also a little place kiddy corner from Wei Wei Palace that makes the BEST VIETNAMESE SUBS. Ever had those? Well, if you ever there go, order a fresh sub to take home for later. They make it there right in front of you. It's kinda like the Vietnamese SUBWAY, cause you choose exactly what you'd like in it. Not only do they have subs but they have a variety of fried finger food, steamed foods, PHO, delicious BUBBLE TEA and much more. read more

Great dimsum. The steamed shrimp dumplings are my favorite! Sometimes I do wonder if the dumplings are good enough for me to ignore the sketchy looking block of wood behind the counter where they chop all the "bbq" and duck - it looks like it has not been cleaned for ages (or EVER). I have always had my doubts about the food handling practices in this place - that block of wood just looks like it has no place in an eating establishment. But the food is really good. I am seriously torn between really wanting to eat here and really never wanting to eat here again. The end result is that I rarely eat here. But I still do. Once in a while. Because the food is yummy. Just don't look behind the counter. read more

Bought 1lbs pork roast for almost 14$ and now they only take cash. The quality is going down badly, pork so cold and dried. So sad cause they don't care anymore. read more

This place is great. This is REAL Chinese food, not the Americanized version. My favorite is their Dim Sum. They do it for lunch where you order them off a menu, but Sunday is the day way to go. Sunday morning thru early afternoon they do Dim Sum right. They have several steam carts they push around and ask what you want. You never know what they will have on the cart, but is is good that is for sure. On the cart will be little steam tins that have some random item in it. The server will pull the lid off and show you what is there, it could be a sticky bun, spring rolls, tripe, BBQ chicken feet, sticky rice (an item you cannot miss it is rice that has little chunks of meat inside all wrapped in a leaf), and even dessert. The mini egg custard pies are great. I guess the way to describe it is tapas, but Chinese style. Like San Chez take as many people as you can and share every item. It is very fun, very social and very good. If you have never done Dim Sum, so yourself a favor and go next Sunday. Your mouth will thank you. read more

It was surprise find. Great authentic Cantonese cuisine. Will definite go back. flash back to the 80's, with outdated decor, something my generation will definitely recognize and appreciate. read more

Dinner here was a nightmare. At least 15 minutes after the rest of us had finished our dinners, my daughter was still waiting for hers to be served. When my mother-in-law complained and asked for my daughter's food to be taken off the bill, the owner told our server that it was going to come out of his pocket. Oh, and somehow a $20 half a duck ended up on our bill that we did not order and were not served. My General Tso's chicken was adequate, but no one else at the table liked what they ended up getting. All in all, it was just a thoroughly unpleasant experience. read more

Food is 4 star. Service is 2. That old waitress made fun of old people and she talked so loud that affecting our appetite. The funny thing is at one point we thought she was a guy but turned out that she is actually a middle age woman. read more

Wei wei is pretty authentic Chinese food. The cooks aren't the most consistent, but typically the food is prepared well. Yeah, the building is a dive, so if you're looking for chic ambiance then you're mostly out of luck unless you find lobster tanks sexy. As far as Chinese food in GR, I'd say that it is the most authentic I've found with the largest variety of dishes, and I'd consider myself a well seasoned consumer of Chinese food. It's well worth a trip read more

Fell into this place looking for something to eat. Its in a strip inside a building of several other Asian businesses and markets. The whole place was dumpy, smelled bad and was very worn out. Mostly this restaurant is too. Not a lot of English spoke here but the menu seemed very authentic as opposed to American styled Chinese food. I had a handful of some dim sum type appetizers including this ball shaped doughy things with crumbly meat inside, small fried spring rolls, steamed pieces of pork rib on the bone with black bean and these really good steamed dumplings. Everything was actually very good. Nobody in the place while I was there which was weird. read more

This is a fun place to meet with friends. A wide variety of share-size foods are available, you can try new things with your peeps. The staff are friendly and willing to teach a gringo like me to use chop sticks. Gold star for the service and the food. read more

The only place to get authentic Chinese food!! The staff are so sweet and accommodating!! My fiance and I are frequent customers here and we're always so happy every time. They have the absolute freshest seafood. There are fish and lobster right there in tanks so it's all cooked fresh. read more

This place I will be back no joke pei king duck was on point and I never had a dim sum until here booosh mind blown you have got to try several cause they have plenty. The only disappointment was the roast pork had to much fat and not enough meat. Otherwise treat someone and take them along wont be disappointed. read more

As close to "real" Chinese as you can find in the Grand Rapids area! Lots of traditional dishes not found stateside. Dim Sum is a real treat! Casual dining adjacent to a large Chinese food market. Enjoy it every time I can get there. read more

Awesome food...competes with restaurants in Chinatown, Chicago. Probably the most authentic chinese in GR.

My husband and I like to go to Wei Wei Palace to eat Dim Sum and we have a good time there. However, something happened recently to change my mind. A couple of nights ago, I went to Wei Wei Palace with a girlfriend to chit chat and drink tea. It was around 9:00 p.m. We noticed that there weren't any customers except for a table with the owner and his friends smoking and talking. So my girlfriend and I thought we would sit, drink tea, and talk also. At around 9:30, the server hinted that they would be closing. So we got up to pay for the pot of tea. How much do you think the pot of green tea cost at Wei Wei Palace? Let's see if you can guess. A. $1.00 B. $2.00 C. $3.00 D. $3.50. Well, it's none of the above. It cost me $4.00 to drink tea at Wei Wei Palace. I was flabbergasted, but of course still paid thinking they cheated me. I don't know if they did cheat me or not, but I do know that if a pot of tea cost $4.00, I'm never going to spend my money there. I work too hard to pay $4.00 for a pot of tea. So please be warned that although their food is good, their pot of tea isn't worth that much money. read more

Great place to have dim sum in GR. Try the bean curd rolls, pork spare ribs, shrimp balls, Chinese broccoli, & ginger lobster. We go almost every weekend. read more

What a find! Delicious duck. The spring greens were delightful. Not the best dim sum ever, but certainly the best I've had in the area. Great service, too. read more

I've been coming here since I was very little. My uncle moved to the states from China many years ago and has found this spot to be the most authentic in the area. It only has 4 stars because it is not as great as it was in years past, but still up there don't get me wrong. Great spot if you're looking for dim sum! read more

Four stars for taste of food and how fast food was served once the waitress got our order. We got the shrimp chow mein and the beef rice noodles. 3stars for the waitress attitude. But pretty typical for an authentic Chinese restaurant. read more

I've had better dim sum. The restaurant has a small selection of dim sum, but does offer the most common dishes for dim sum. Even though it was just the two of us, we over ordered just to get a taste of everything. I would order the sticky rice, bbq ribs, short ribs, and bbq pork bun if I ever came back. The siu mai, ha gau, and shrimp dumplings were medicore; the skins were a little tough yet easily broke, and the filling a bit mushy, but how can you eat dim sum and not order siu mai and ha gau? Wish there was a bit more selection. We did grab a plate of sesame balls that were freshly made so it was nice to end the meal with something sweet. Service was great and the server pushing around the cart was really helpful in describing some of the dim sum I didn't recognize. read more

We stop here once in a while for dimsum. It is definitely not as good as dimsums that I had in other cities (Dallas, Chicago, NYC) but...this is Grand Rapids, so it's pretty good. Our usual orders: shrimp dumpling, stuffed tofu, and shrimp balls. We tried other items too depending on the number of people in the party. read more

Great food and the price is good. Best egg drop soup I have ever had and I have had a lot of egg drop soup. No complaints about any of the food we have ordered. We always order take out which is ready quickly. read more

Not the best dim sum I've tried but it will do for GR. They have good spicy squid and dandelion greens. Dumplings are average but it fulfills my dumpling cravings. Get some duck to go! read more

18% mandatory tip was added to the bill for a party of 4 during lunch. Owner said it's normal. IS IT NORMAL? Bless you I was in a good mood today otherwise you would be in trouble! read more

A great treat in West Michigan. I love their Duck, Chinese Broccoli, general tso and the most incredible hot and sour soup. Connected to a large asian market, worth a run through while waiting for your food. My favorite Chinese food in the mid-west outside of Chicago's China Town. read more

Sadly, this is the closest dim sum place to us - still an hour away. We go here only when we are desperate. The food is just bad. The dim sum is usually just likewarm and looks/tastes like it has been sitting around for a while. To make things worse, it's overpriced. read more

Best Chinese food I have ever eaten. You can tell that this food is freshly prepared, with legitimate ingredients. I have never been disappointed with the quality of food here. It usually costs about $15 for a "full" plate with complimentary white rice. The "full" plate can easily feed two people, so the proportions are large. I'd also recommend ordering some of the appetizers. The service is honestly a toss up from my experience. You either get someone who cares or doesn't care, it's as simple as that. Despite the questionable service, this place still gets 5 stars, because the food is that good. Also there is little to no wait times during the dinning hours, for seating, which is also very cool. That being said, it is usually very quiet inside as well. read more

Haven't been here in a while but this place puts most of the other Chinese restaurants in town to shame! As authentic as you can get - reminds me of the great dim sum places of LA and SF. Side note- the little grocery stores in the back have a great selection of wonderful products you can't find outside of LA or SF either. If you think Yen Ching is as good as it gets then you're probably hopeless - but try some real oriental food here and maybe you can be saved. read more

The look and overall feel of this shopping plaza is DIRTY! Its pretty much the only place for dim sum in Grand Rapids so you gotta deal with it. The food is ok but if you had dim sum anywhere else you will be disappointed. read more

This place is okay. When my family of 15 went they placed us in the back and they put to circular tables together which made it awkward to seat 15 and we went for dim sum but by the time the cart got to us, there was little food left. We waited for another cart to come out but instead of serving us, they started at the front and when the cart reached us, we had little food to choose from again. So we ordered dishes and when we got our bill there was an automatic gratuity charge for using two big tables. It wasn't worth it and the service was not worth it either. read more

I just recently visited the place and I ordered the crispy noodle with seafood and I asked them to leave the sauce out 4 times but they still didn't follow up on the order and when we got home to eat there was some of the dim sum that I expected to be good but it disappointed me the shrimp dim sum wasn't soft it was really hard the fried noodles were salty as well as the crispy noodles and the wrapped pork dim sum was also a disappointment it wasn't boneless everything else was done alright we did a takeout option and it did not feel like they wanted us to takeout it felt like they wanted us to dine in which is a big disappointment overall 2/10... read more

I wouldn't even give this place a one star rating if that were an option. We recently went there for a late dinner and had some dim sum and fried rice. The Har Gow shrimp dim sum was spoiled... it had a foul SOUR taste to it and the shrimp was dried and hard inside.... When I mentioned it to the lady, she smelled it and loudly asked the workers in the kitchen how many DAYS old was the Har Gow...So it wasn't even from earlier that day, it was DAYS old maybe even a week (who knows) after it was first steamed.... We were there late at night so we weren't even the first customers of the day so I wonder how many others were served the same thing. She then told me "sorry, our cooks made a mistake...let me make you a new one" Honestly, at that point I didn't even really want it anymore because I was soooo GROSSED OUT.... They didn't even try to make things right, sorry but, SORRY is not enough after I ate spoiled food. I'm sure this wasn't the FIRST time that they made a mistake like this...... I honestly didn't want to eat anymore, but I didn't want to make a scene and so we ate , paid and left.....but NEVER AGAIN! Yeah, that's a HUGE MISTAKE. . . The fried rice was very very dry and stale tasting with very little taste; Stale food is one thing, BUT SPOILED food is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE so unless you want to leave with possible FOOD POISONING, I would advise you not to go there EVER. It's not worth a chance.... DON'T RISK IT!!! read more

Food was okay, staff was confused how to split a check. Tip was already added at 20% to the bill, so I didn't leave an additional tip on my credit card until the server yelled at me to leave one. The meal should have came to 19$ but I ended up paying over 30$. Very rude service and we will never be going there again. read more

I absolutely loved the food there and the service is great. The waiters' english isn't the best but they are very friendly and professional. read more

If you're looking for good chinese food with decent price, this place would be one of the top choices.

We won't order Chinese from anywhere else! In fact, last Thanksgiving (so November 2009), we ordered dinner from Wei Wei Palace ... I think that just about covers how much we love the food. read more

Rude customer service, slow and unwelcoming. The lobster and fish look like they were swinging in sewage water... Gross! Wonder if anyone even cleans the tanks? They need to work on proper hand washing, I seen a waitress go from table to table assisting customers after picking her ear! Wow. This place is way to authentic! My friend had the "fresh lobster" he had gotten sick few hours after that. That's horrible! Never going back!!! read more

Great place I had the squid it was ore paired perfectly and I recommend it every time you go there. There is a Asian market attached with an array of authentic foods. This is a must visit., read more

This is the only best Dim Sum place in West Michigan. Im Chinese and my parents are also and we come here all the time. The dim sum is delicious but i prefer Chicago's dim sum places. But again this is michigan what do you expect. The other place i was referring to was Casey's in Holland which is more expensive than here and it is not good. The second best Dim sum place will be towards the Detroit area at the Shangri-La. Also the duck, roast pig and char sieu (BBQ Red pork) at Wei Wei is delicious for take out. read more
