Z Wei has been around for many years, and my dining experiences there have mostly been average. It's not the most authentic but it's still good, as in hot out of the kitchen. In general though, I think they're a little heavy handed with the salt, but it's possible to put in a request for them to use less of it. Service was relatively fast and staff were polite. The ambience and decor still looks like it's always been -- a little dim but cozy. If you do have a large party though, this place is likely big enough to host it. read more

I have been eating at ZWei for over 15 years. I am a former New Yorker and I know good food. Their wonton soup is amazing with well seasoned and soft wontons. Their egg rolls are delicious with nice veggies and a protein in them. sushi is fresh and wonderful with a large variety. I have had almost everything on their menu and have never been disappointe. Love the owners who make you feel welcome and always help you to have a great meal. read more

The best Asian cuisine in the area. Always fresh, consistent, and reasonably priced. I have been going there for over a dozen years. Tell Chris, sushi chef, to make you your favorite roll. He is a magician. The authentic Chinese, Thai, and Japanese items are all very tasty. read more

Family restaurant with a large menu including sushi, dimsum and classic dishes. I am not sure what there specialties so maybe next time it would be good to find out where the cooks are from and order what they are known for. read more

We ordered King roll, Athens Roll and Toyota roll. King roll is in the middle in the picture, I would like to know which is the one in front, it was amazing! The one in the back not so much. #winsomelosesone read more

This is hands down the BEST fusion and sushi in Exton/Downingtown.... Sooooo many special rolls to choose from. The Thai food and Chinese selections have also always been fabulous. The service is great! I'm picky on my sushi (got food poisoning at Osaka) and less expensive than Umami with much more selection. The staff are always accommodating and friendly. Love it! read more

We love supporting Z Wei in Exton as the family does a great job and the food is top notch. So glad they survived the test of the pandemic and have come back strong. We are regular diners and have always enjoyed consistent quality of food and service! The dining room has great ambiance to match the cuisine. Highly recommend! read more

We hadn't been here in a while, but we stopped in and had a delicious meal with egg drop soup, egg rolls, kung pao scallops, chicken and broccoli, and beef fried rice. So good as usual! read more

I came with two young boys whose only exposure to Chinese food was orange chicken. Naturally, they wanted to eat orange chicken. I didn't see this dish on the menu, but asked our waitress anyways and she said the kitchen staff could gladly accommodate. They wanted different levels of spicy, so she brought out two orange chicken dishes of different spice levels. I don't eat orange chicken ever (at the risk of sounding prissy, I prefer authentic Chinese food--my family is from Sichuan!) but I had a bite of theirs and it was pretty good. They even had some orange peel (not just zest) which was a nice touch to the spicier dish. I ordered a sushi roll (I'm forgetting now the name but I think it may have been the Z. Wei roll or something like that) and it was pretty good but not mind-blowing. read more

I took my family here and we enjoyed it The service was great I was tempted to give it a five because there is no good sushi restaurants in this area.and their sushi is better than other's locally but it's Just ok. The Kani Salad is GREAT! The egg rolls and spring rolls are good. The salmon sushi is really good. The yellow tail sushi is good. The tuna and whitefish weee not good - they had a soft texture. Miso soup was good. Sweet and sour chicken was not bad. California rolls were average - 3 different opinions in our family about these rolls. One liked them one thought they were average and one didn't care for them. Overall we really enjoyed. We miss the good sushi we had in Maryland. read more

Very disappointing. You get what you pay for. Cheap prices and cheap food. Very little veggies and sauce on our meals. Will never order from them again read more

We have been going here for ages and they have been a solid choice the entire time. Their menu has changed with the times and they haven't been afraid to add and remove items as appropriate. I am enjoying their current dim sum menu and working my way through it. Just the other day they catered a party we had and everyone enjoyed the food. The preparation and portions were great and we lacked for nothing. It was the first time I saw people go back for thirds! We have gotten to know the folks at the restaurant and they took care of us well on that important day. The default style of food is certainly more along the lines of an Americanized version but done very well. Their current menu has an expanded offering of more traditional style too. I am working my way through that and enjoying it. I highly recommend ZWei! read more

Sushi is top drawer. Super fresh fish and the sushi chef is solid. On the kitchen side, the eggplant in garlic sauce is unique and delicious. The mu shu is also a reliable choice. read more

Food: Food was okay but not the best. There were a lot of menu options, but nothing seemed too appetizing (the menu needs a complete re-do/redesign). Atmosphere: When I went, the restaurant was empty save for 2 children playing the piano & video games in the other room, and guests ordering take-out (which was a bit concerning). Staff/Environment: The staff members were friendly and polite, the wait-times for the food (and calling a waiter) could definitely be better. Conclusions: As an Asian person, I felt that they could have done a bit better with the service & food. To be frank, it seems the food is made for tastes unfamiliar with better-made ("authentic") Asian cuisines. read more

Z Wei was ok - only 1 server but the place was empty on a Saturday night. There were 6 of us and food came out at a steady pace. It was ok - but have had better. Good if you are looking to grab a quick meal without waiting for a table. read more

Horrible. Went for dinner tonight and was served what you see below. That is Chicken Pad Thai. It smelled like wet dog, and was hot pink in color. My wife got a Bento box that was mildly better, but still not up to par. The only thing we liked was the Tomago. When I tried to call attention to it, they pretended like they didn't understand what I was saying. read more

Went with my coworker today to get lunch. If I could give zero stars I would. First, I got the 3 roll lunch special. The rolls were stale and had a strong fish odor. It was so terrible. I told the waiter and he still charged me full price although I ate none and refused to change it. Just when I thought this place couldn't get worse. I spotted 3 roaches. One on the wall, one on the floor and one was literally on my shoe and I frantically kicked it off. I almost barfed. - see attached photos. read more

No Reason to try this place. Nothing personal but "not good" is about the best I can do. I really do not like giving restaurants poor reviews but I have no choice. From the fish smell when you walk in to the noodles with some type of dye on them to make them look authentic. Really bad. read more

Good local sushi joint. I always enjoyed the rolls, pretty solid selection. The Chinese food is good, as well. Hot and sour soup is excellent. read more

The sushi was fine but the Dan Dan Noodles were inedible. So salty you could taste nothing else. We've been long time customers but so disappointed. read more

This was our second visit to Z Wei. The first visit a few months ago, the restaurant was empty, but the food was good. This time, not so much. My husband got the beef with mixed vegetables, and it arrived barely warm. The sauce tasted like it was ketchup based. I got the spicy boiled fish. The sauce was spicy, but did not have much flavor. The fish and veggies had no flavor at all. We had high hopes, but we won't be back. read more

Sadly, so terrible. Dirty. The fish tank with fish too big for the tank was disgusting. My waiter's pinky nails were long and I imagined that they were for picking his nose. I was so grossed out. But I stayed, despite my gut feeling. I ordered mapo tofu, which has become my standard for deciding if a place is good or not. I could see that it had that certain jiggle to it when it was placed in front of me - the kind of jiggle that is unnatural to a dish. It had the consistency of snot, no joke. It had peas and those perfectly square carrots in it that we all know come from the freezer. This is not mapo tofu! So sorry to give such a bad review, but it was terrible. read more

Issues with being clean, food quality wasnt great, probs wouldn't recommend coming here when there are many other option in the area. Its unfortunate because if it cleaned up it definitely could be something grest. read more

I'm really puzzled as to why this has such a high rating. While in the area today, I stopped by since I was craving chinese. I ordered their lunch special of chicken and brocolli steamed with egg drop soup and fried rice. Surprise surprise, they don't do fried rice! What chinese estaurant doesn't offer fried rice? I waited for my food, only took 5-10 minutes, and then left. When I was drinking the soup, I found myself unable to finish it. As much as I tried, I could not drink the soup because it made me nauseous. So its an okay place, as long as you like white rice and don't drink the egg drop soup! read more

Just decided to add one more notch on my belt when it comes to local sushi places. This place is that notch. The look of this place almost reminded me of a diner that was remodeled into a sushi restaurant. Not a great look to me. But I ordered a maki combo which came out promptly, and I enjoyed the taste. Freshness is not an issue. I do however believe that the size of the rolls is a bit smaller compared to what I can get elsewhere. Not a bad place. But not memorable either. It's strictly middle of the road in my eyes. read more

Excellent fresh tasting food. I'm always happy with my orders from here. I only do takeout. Never have eaten in the restaurant. Our go-to items are the teriyakis (shrimp and chicken) and the bento specials. Always fresh and crisp veggies and the shrimp are perfectly cooked. On my most recent trip the gentleman that answered the phone came out my car to bring me the food. I called to see if my food was ready because my 1.5 and 3 year old kids were sound asleep. He brought the food out and even made change from my cash. EXCELLENT SERVICE! This is our go-to. We will continue to order from here. Thank you! read more

This place was okay. I ordered the Chinese Lunch Special with Ma Pao Spicy Tofu, Miso Soup, and White Rice. I took my order back to my office - when I opened it, the rice was missing and I was given the wrong soup. The employee who answered the phone was very apologetic and helpful, I felt taken care of even as a to-go order. When I finally ate my food, the tofu was unfortunately just not the best. It had what I believe were frozen peas and carrots in it, and when I ate them they just tasted hard and undercooked. I have ordered this dish at other restaurants and I have never seen this type of veggies in it. The sauce itself tasted more like a spicy tomato sauce. Maybe if there were higher quality ingredients it would've tasted better but I just couldn't enjoy it. Usually I dip my rice in the sauce but I barely finished the dish. Certainly not something I would order from here again. The tofu itself was perfectly cooked and my miso was delicious. The rice was made exactly as it should be. Overall, it was not an awful experience and for $8 I certainly got a bang out of my buck. If I came back I would probably choose something less adventurous. read more

I've always stood by the fact that Chinese restaurants are much better when you go with a Chinese person. Cashew chicken, beef and broccoli, and kung pao shrimp are old hat for most of us. It's that mysterious menu that's half (or all) Chinese characters where the true treasures lie. There are no fake generals or mythical creatures on this menu. "Chicken with black bean sauce" is exactly what you're going to get. Unfortunately, none of the choices sound exactly appetizing. Which is why I was lucky my co-worker could get our waiter to spill his favorite dish: "Shredded pork with dried bean curd". While the name is brutally honest, what we got was a nice mixed dish of pork strips and tofu strips with some vegetables. I also picked something from the "American" menu, the "Pepper Steak". Nothing too special here. Our appetizer was Szechuan dumplings, which was not nearly as spicy as we had hoped. The restaurant is nice and large, and service was pretty good, but it looked painfully empty (ratio of 3 employees to each customer, it seemed). Not a bad spot by any means, but nothing out of the ordinary either. read more

Went with a group of friends and it was AWFUL.The service was non existent the entire time. There was a large party in a private room and either they were overwhelmed or understaffed but no one was waiting on us . Had to get up to ask for things and had to hand dirty plates to the server who came by to clear the table. On to the food... cold sesame noodles that were completely bland ... no flavor and minimal sauce. Mediocre veggie dumplings. The rolls were actually acceptable but the pad Thai was terrible.Overall; tasteless, uninspired, diner quality crap. Do not waste your time or money. These people need to either take cooking lessons or find another career but Asian food clearly isn't for them . Ive eaten so much quality Asian cuisine that this was just a sad excuse for a meal. read more

This is not a place you wanna go for anything but food poisoning. I don't mean this as a joke. It's scary how bad it is. Soda lines for drinks have not been cleaned (maybe ever). You can taste it when the fresh taste is gone and there's a sticky syrupy stale after taste. The icing on the cake was the hair in the steamed dumpling. Brought it to the waiter. He took it off our bill. The sushi is not recommended. The shrimp smelled way too fishy and the tuna was definitely expired. I'll spare you the details on what happened later that night, but when in West Chester looking for a place to eat sushi, Drive another 10 mins to Teikoku read more

Z Wei Restaurant - Hair in the dumpling - Sushi Bars Near Me - Exton, Pennsylvania

Since moving to the area 3 years ago, I've been here a handful of times for various occasions--a quick, decent lunch, to entertain my visiting Chinese mother who cannot get half-decent Chinese food in our hometown, and to celebrate events such as moving, or another finished semester at school. The menu ranges from authentic Chinese which is really good if you know what to order (I mostly leave that to Mom but I am learning), to Americanized Chinese, which is still good, but nothing special. I would say Han Dynasty down the road is better in terms of their authentic dishes, but Z.Wei's menu has more diversity if not everyone in your party is into that sort of thing. They have great lunch specials, such as their bento boxes which I tend to order for a quick meal between running errands out on the town, which you can get for under $10 with a drink as well. (Note: the dinner bento box is about 2x the price of the lunch portion, but you get to choose two entrees instead of one. Whichever you order, it's always a fair portion for the price.) The sushi is pretty good, though I've had better elsewhere, and reasonably priced, though with modest portions. The rolls aren't huge, but neither are they a ripoff. They're perfect for my appetite. The service is always super quick and gracious, and I've had nothing to complain about since I've been going there. Unless you're going on a Friday or Saturday night, it seems dead, but don't let that fool you because overall, it's a great place to eat. I'd recommend it to anyone. Overall: Good for both an in-and-out experience on weekday lunch break and entertaining guests in the evening. Food, price, and service are decent and fair if you're looking for a quick pick. I'd go again. read more
