Xin Wei Kitchen

Really good Chinese food here, and they recently changed their menu. I will come back!!!

I go to many Chinese restaurants looking for something that isn't American-Chinese masquerading as authentic gourmet Chinese. This place is about as close as you're going to get in Columbus for real Asian food. It probably helps they are conveniently located next to the best Asian supermarket in the city.I have went a few times, and enjoyed every visit. I tried the duck bone stirfry, which was awesome. They have these dumplings in chilli oil that are just killer. Order it just for the oil and add it to your rice. Pour it on your eggroll, or whatever. It's that damn good. I think it's a homemade szechuan peppercorn oil.They have many Thai dishes as well. I got their Thai Red Curry. It's way better than Hunan Lions Curry, but honestly just average. I make my own Thai curry from scratch though. I do give them props for at least using shrimp paste, and having some flavor.Their chicken egg rolls and ragoons are also good.So much crazy stuff on the menu for adventurous eaters. Want a Duck Blood or Frog based dish? They have many. Lots of tripe dishes, and other odd stirfry's. I will be trying those soon and editing this review.Overall, the food is pretty good if you order right, and if you don't order right, it's still OK.As far as service, it's an Asian restaurant. Completely different culture. Come here for the food, not the service. Be happy a restaurant exists in Columbus that isn't Human Lion or Lucky Dragon.I have added Xin Wei to my rotation. Out of probably over 100 restaurants in the city, this is one of a out 5 that I have given this honor.Come here for real Asian food, and you will be happy. Come here for the Karen American-Chinese specials, and miss out on what this place has to offer.

Highly do not recommend this place. The server was very rude and the food was disgusting with no flavor. I got the orange chicken and this is what I was given(which wasn’t orange chicken) the sauce was ice cold. the fried rice was salty.

Awesome Spring Rolls and Egg Rolls. Generous portions of General Tso's with Steamed Rice. Usually have some left over for later. I usually go here once every week. The west dining room needs finished with drywall tape and paint.

Be careful when order takeout food from this restaurant. cross out the tip blank because you are not supposed to give tip when order takeout. If you don't do this, they will fraudulently fill the tip amount and charge you.
