Meiwei London in Wandsworth

Formerly a Malaysian restaurant. Reliable and consistent for delivery. A little high on prices but, regardless, just about delivers value.

What a disaster this place has become. I’ve been going to this restaurant since 2016, but I hadn’t visited for a while and I’m not sure if the owner changed or what happened. First of all, the staff is unbelievably rude—especially the bald guy who seems to be some sort of manager or waiter. He shouted at us and showed completely unacceptable behavior. Then, his colleagues came to apologize—what nonsense is that? That’s not what you expect, especially when the bill is £150! I have never seen such rubbish service! I will never, ever come back to this place again. And that’s not even mentioning the food, which has gone completely downhill. We were served dumplings with a hair in them and overcooked Cantonese prawns, which used to be our favorite dish. From a USED-to-be loyal customer, I strongly recommend avoiding this place at all costs!

I found Meiwei on Deliveroo. Was completely blown away by how authentic some of the dishes were and am now a devoted fan. Yes, it is expensive, but what a treat to have authentic China as close as Putney. Ignore the miserable reviews on here and order yourself a delivery. My top picks are: MEIWEI Special Fried Rice 招牌炒饭 Crispy Roasted Belly Pork 脆皮烧肉 Honey Bbq Pork 廣式蜜汁 烧肉 Roast Duck Chinese Style 式烧鸭 Hofan 河粉 Mixed seafood海鲜河粉 Sichuan Spicy Chicken 辣子鸡 Sichuan Style Double Cooked Pork (spicy) 回锅肉 MEIWEI Special Noodles Roast Duck Chinese Style 式烧鸭 Egg Fried Rice 黃金炒飯 MEIWEI Special Fried Rice 招牌炒饭 Beef With Satay Sauce 牛肉 Brace yourself!!!!

Il mio compagno ordina spesso in questo ristorante. E mi sono affidato a lui perché è orientale. Il mio piatto di riso con pollo. Non era male. Purtroppo non mi ha lasciato senza parole. Consiglio alla gestione di aggiungere gli ingredienti. 80% riso. Pollo un 10%. Follia. Peccato

We stopped going to Meiwei after a bad takeaway that tasted like petrol a few years back, but gave it another try several months ago. We have dined in and had takeaways a few times since. Cannot fault the food, very tasty. The restaurant has been done up since we last went a few years ago - not exactly high end but nice enough and better than it was. The service is excellent both on site and ordering on the phone, they read your order back to you to confirm it, which a lot of places don't bother with any more. One downside is their website. Its not very easy to use, you get all the way to the point of confining your order only for it to tell you that they can't take online orders - it has been this way for several months now. Also the prices online are not up to date. Our latest takeaway ended up being about £20 more when we went through the receipt than the website prices suggested. Really needs updating.

A member of staff at the restaurant was very rude and didn’t make me feel welcome or wanted at all. Very disappointing

Nice staff and services. High quality of food, my two boys love the dishes. 100% recommended and will be visit again

This restaurant uses the roof as a driving range, smashes local windows, lack of control, danger alert! Please watch out for flying balls from the Chinese restaurant - they are dangerous, this could have hurt someone!

Very good food and best service .. food n quality n rates r good ... amazing team .. James look after his staff

My friend ordered a delivery for our team in Barnes. Not only did the food arrive on time, and piping hot, but the restaurant phoned beforehand to say it had been despatched, and phoned afterwards to make sure it had arrived ok. We had quite a selection of meat and vegetarian food and all of us scored it as excellent.

The duck is delicious. Also the first sum is tasty. My favourite is the cashew chicken. The menu is enormous and there are so many lovely dishes.

Delicious food, ordered half a Peking duck and mapo tofu, both were delicious. Would definitely order again.

We ordered fried beef noodle, lamb, westlake beef soup, wunton soup, special fried rice and two dimsums on 18 August. The beef and lamb are not fresh and very chewey. The fried rice look very different from their picture of menu, taste funny like overnight rice. They charged 12% more service charge on top of their price which is almost double that in Chinatown. The only waiter who worked there said the service charge is for their boss. Horrible tastes and unreasonable charge.

Meiwei is our local Chinese restaurant and We are lucky to have them . Went with a large multi generation family group for a Chinese New Year lunch and had an excellent experience as usual despite it being very busy Every dish we ordered was served promptly , was piping hot and delicious Service was charming and with a smile and it was great to see the full house as for our last visit , they were very quiet I’m sure they get a lot of local take away and delivery business but far nicer to visit an airy elegant and well lit room We stuck to the more obvious dishes but they cater for those with more adventurous tastes and prices are very reasonable for the quality

We often go up to Chinatown for a xmas dinner, but the trains restricted us, so we went to Meiwei instead. Really plsd we did because the meal was just as good as any we have had in Chinatown. Nice clean, well lit restaurant, with varied menu. The staff were very friendly and accommodating - we asked for some xmas back ground music which the very kind staff sorted out for us. Don't miss the Peking duck, a classic. This is just the type of restuarant we need to make successful.

I’ve been to this restaurant with my partner and we both loved it. We had brilliant service and the food was delicious. I’ve also ordered plenty of times from here (definitely order on their website not delivery sites) and it’s been amazing. Even if you have a special request on delivery they make sure to complete it and are always happy to help. Phone them and they are lovely! One of the best Asian restaurants in London Worth a visit with couples, big groups or just yourself!

Had a home delivery which was superb so had to come for lunch!! Fabulous restaurant, great decor, gorgeous food, good size portions and reasonable cost. The best thing though was the service - so so nice and very attentive. Will definitely be back !!

I have been to this restaurant twice now and the first time was fine, average but fine. So we where there on the 19/09/2019 and we ordered a variety of dishes the pork belly being the one in question here, it came out burnt and super dry as you would imagine. We sent that one back asking for another and they did just that, took around 3 minutes to get a new one out which to me means its not very fresh. That aside it came and we had about 4 pieces of that and it was also just as dry as the last. So we said to the person serving which i assume is the manager or owner that is was not good and we will not eat that. They brought the bill and the dish was on the bill, we asked for it to be removed as we hardly had anything out of the 2 portions that came out. He would not remove it as his response was "cause you asked for the same dish again, you need to pay for it" So what he is saying here is even though it was not good its not their issue cause we ordered a second dish. This was very poor customer service as you would not be expected to pay for poor quality food especially if they couldnt get it right the second time. Very disappointed with the service.

Most authentic, tasty and friendly Chinese restaurant in SW London. I go here all the time. Very reasonable prices too. Can only recommend.

The food was on the whole good, though I have to say I was surprised when my Lemon Chicken had no sauce. The Lemon sauce was brought out separately, ultimately it was drier than it could have been. The service was good, thought the waiter was distracted with dealing with deliveries, and problems he was having with the kitchen. This didn’t really help the ambiance, when you could hear the arguments in the kitchen. I seen some reviews about it being unclean, I didn’t see any evidence of that, i did however note areas were a bit untidy, like where the keep the tablecloths and behind the counter etc.

Fabulous restaurant, great decor, gorgeous food, good size portions and reasonable cost. The best thing though was the service - so so nice and very attentive. Will definitely be back !!

Wandsworth council recently gave this restaurant a 0 food hygiene rating. Inexcusable in this day and age. Beware...time to close down and have a refit/rethink...

This would have been a rather basic Chinese restaurant if not for the fact that they surprised me with just how amazing their fried rice was - it truly captured the legendary 'wok hei', it is that distinctive smoky flavour when food is cooked at...

Bitterley disappointed went for a meal with my girlfriend and the food qas terrible. Salt and pepper ribs dry and tasteless. Squid rubbery. Prawns inedible. Peking duck next that was sent back as it was overly dry from being over fried. In all honesty i...

Ordered online and was delivered within 25mins! Fresh and very tasty. Will use again (and look forward to trying the restaurant sometime soon).

I have been coming here for 8 months normally once per week. The food here is delicious. Love the spicy flavours and salt & pepper fried squid. Ask for the Chinese menu as it is the best. Recently a new waitress came and the service...

Good food, very polite. I only wish the owner and waiters had an eye on what the client needs, as they bring you platters with no spoons to serve with, no bowls to eat rice in, etc... Dear restaurant owner: if we wanted a self-service...

Great friendly but respectful service. Fantastic food with interesting and tasty choices. Good tea choices too. Would recommend.

We had booked a table for a birthday celebration which was just as well as the date was very close to the Chinese New Year. The restaurant was packed including a mega table celebrating NY. We chose one of the set menus and all the...

Tried this restaurant for the first time with a friend for lunch. It's not a big place which I like and being a weekday it was not busy (one other Chinese couple), but imagine it would be worth making a booking for an evening visit....

After 13 years living one street from this restaurant I finally ventured there with my daughter on Saturday night. It was 7.30pm so I thought it would be quiet. Surprisingly it was full but they managed to find a table for us. The positive factor...

Not great food... staff not really friendly. Was expensive for what i got. Wont go back as much better around

We get home delivery from Meiwei. They are friendly and incredibly efficient. The food is great and is always very tasty and still hot.

On the 30th of September, we had booked a table for 4 to celebrate our dad's birthday, knowing that this restaurant always provides equally good service and meals (and our mother knew one of the waitresses who would be working that night). When we arrived,...

We've been a couple of times, for both lunch and dinner, and they have all been amazing experiences. Choosing your own dish and sharing food is equally as nice. The service may not be as fast as it is a small restaurant with a limited...

I must have walked past Meiwei hundreds of times and have never been particularly enticed by the menu in the window which is a big list of your usual Chinglish (Chinese for the Western market) dishes which I'm not a big fan of. However there...

Surprisingly full on a Tuesday evening, including some men on their own from the budget hotel across the street, a young Chinese family and several tables of Europeans. Food came within 15 minutes. The fish in ginger, spring onion and soy sauce was delicate and...

Just had a take away delivered by them. I ordered quite a variety of things, noodles, vegetables, meat and fish etc and all were either to sweet or too gloppy. Or both. Would not order again....

Recently went to Mei Wei London in Putney bridge road, with my family for my mother's birthday... the food was amazing, really fresh, seemed cooked to order.. number 56 on the menu was Cantonese style pork, and we loved it, also the sizzling lamb, and...

We ordered a take away from this restaurant and it left lots to be desired. Furthermore it is way more expensive when compared to other Chinese food take away establishments in the area and the quality is not as good.

Loved this Chinese restaurant. The decor won't win any prizes but the service and the food were faultless. Great value too. Cannot recommend more highly... will be back for more

We ordered a home delivery on line. After 2 hours and 2 calls to chase and 2 different excuses it finally arrived and was dreadful. Both chicken dishes were like rubber in a cook-in-sauce, the mixed starter was ridiculous, the worst value mixed starter we've...

I had beef in a black bean sauce and special fried rice. Both were well presented and tasty. Service was a bit of a letdown though: even though drink orders were taken quickly and the food arrived in good time, the server wasn't very welcoming....

I c the other 6 reviews r also a 5 star rating .. sooo well deserved. Excellent beef & blackbean on a pipjng hot sizzling plate. Sooo flavoursome. Tasty duck but the orange duck by nature is sweetish so next time I'll go for the...

Went here on Chinese New Year just saw it as we were walking by.Friendly staff set an enjoyable night.Food was good and plentiful,could not be faulted.If in the area again would revisit.

I came here with my wife as it had been recommended to her by some friends. We were not disappointed. The food was very good, we chose Shanghai dishes especially, and service was good too. Even though we are not local Ian sure we will...

Next time I will go back just for dumplings. Everything else we tried was very nice as well. The food quality is great and very good value for money. This will be my favourite Chinese restaurant in Putney!

We were only in the area for the evening and went here after a map search close to where we were. We arrived without a reservation and they happily arranged tables for us although they were busy and had reservations booked. We ordered a couple...

So many Chinese restaurants have really bad food, but we just ordered a large meal for £32 which wasn't stodgy, loaded with msg or sugar. Instead the vegtables were great quality, nice and crunchy, the prawns were very large and fried aubergine was great. It...

Had an amazing meal at this local restaurant. Everything we ordered was tasty, service was good. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes on the menu.
