I’m delighted to see The Wei included in Time Out London’s list of the Best New Restaurants in London of 2026.
The Wei is the latest chapter in my journey of sharing the food of Xi’an and Shaanxi with London. From Xi’an Impression to Master Wei, and now The Wei, my aim has always been to introduce more people to the flavours, dishes and traditions of the region I grew up with.
It is especially meaningful to see Time Out recognise the role this journey has played in broadening London’s understanding of regional Chinese cuisine, from biang biang noodles and liangpi to dumplings, cold dishes and other Xi’an favourites.
I’m grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way, and I look forward to continuing to share more of Shaanxi’s food and culture with London.
