Master Wei

Opened in 2023, Master Wei is an independent Chinese restaurant from Guirong Wei, who recently starred in the Emmy-nominated Chef’s Table on Netflix. A restaurant dedicated to showcasing cuisine from Shaanxi, Guiron’s hometown province in northwest China, here you’ll find things like their signature hand-pulled biang biang noodles (called this because of the sound they make on the countertop when they are ‘slapped’), as well as favourite Xi’an street food snacks like spicy cumin beef buns and pot sticker. Master Wei has locations in Hammersmith and Bloomsbury.
