Reviews for Xin Wei Kitchen in Columbus, OH
Excellent authentic szechuan. We tend to eat a lot of new stuff, so finding Fatty Intestine in Garlic sauce was a new one. It... was delicious. The sauce was very garlicky and spicy, and was something I could eat again. We also had the cumin pork ribs,which were very good. Not overly oily, and the cumin was balanced just right. A heaping amount of fried shallots really madethis. We also tried the tofu and century egg dish. That was most unexpected with expectations. I expected something like I hadbefore, but the egg had just the right balance of preserved flavor with the yolk. The tofu and sauce was a good pairing, andwent very well with the spice in the other dish to cool it down a bit. The service was very nice, and even though it wasextremely busy I felt that we didn't have to wait any longer than I normally would anywhere else. Read more
9/10/22: Tried the dinner portion of spicy chicken today. It lived up to its name with fresh sliced jalapeños! There was a... lot of chicken (non-breaded kind which I prefer). There was also course sliced onions and fine sliced carrots. I especiallyliked the sliced slivers of fresh garlic. Served in a spicy special sauce. I recommend if you like jalapeño spicyfood! 8/27/22: stopped in just after 3pm and ordered dinner portion of garlic chicken to go. Plenty of chicken, carrots,green pepper, and onions. Very tasty spicy garlic sauce. Waited less than 15 min. I recommend the garlic chicken. See pic. I'll be back as I'm working through the menu items I want to try! 8/13/22: Kung Pao Triple Delight is excellent and my newfavorite! I recommend Kung Pao anything! 8/6/22: ordered dinner portion of General Tso's chicken to go. The portion is huge. What I find interesting about this dish is every restaurant makes it different. This one had no carrots, green peppers,broccoli or whole hot peppers in it. It has a good flavor. The other thing is the breaded fried chicken chunks can be tough tochew; this I know better. I would have preferred the steamed/boiled/seared chicken that is used in Kung Pao chicken, howeverthat unbreaded chicken is prepared. The spring roll is good. I'll try other dishes from Xin Wei that do not use the breadedfried chicken chunks. The picture is of half the actual order. I'm stuffed! I'll be back! Read more
Went here with a friend of mine to have him try out their food. We got our table at 7:45pm. Since the time we sat down, another... family of 6 came in to order. A couple came in as well. We were served just a hot sour soup which honestly was delicious. 1hour later, there was still no food and the family of 6 was half way done eating a huge meal. I asked why we are not beingserved yet, seeing we were there much earlier. I was told from the lady they were friends so they were served first andprioritized. I was then told another 5 minutes. I paid for my soup before I left even though I was told it was free. Iexplained kindly , I am paying because I ate it and I EVEN tip the young cashier. The family seemed kind, good food it lookslike, but they treat average normal customers poorly. I haven't had this situation of this sort in over 20 years. Customerservice is very poor . Definitely not a first come or first serve establishment. Very very disappointing. Read more
Kungpao chicken is super authentic. The chef used the Chinese vinegar in the right timing and with the right proportion. The... dish is super fragrant with the right flavor. Highly recommended. I also like the pork rib soup with winter melon. It was cookedwith ginger and I love it. Will come back with friends and family. Read more
So goood! Definitely order from the ?Chinese? menu. The chef knows what he?s doing and you can tell by the number of Chinese... who eat here! Read more
Very good authentic Chinese food, but keep in mind the English and Chinese menus have totally different options (DoorDash only... has the English menu). I'm not sure how to get the Chinese options if you don't speak Chinese but it's worth asking. Read more
Pretty good authentic Chinese restaurant in the area. Clean, friendly service and tasty food. Definitely will be back for more.
Excellent food both authentic Chinese and American-ized. The music and TVs are quiet. Those visiting from the Orient will love... this place and never forget you for taking them there. Some important info: Don't let the faint of heart see the menu becauseof the meat "byproducts" featured in the authentic parts of the menu. Intestine, liver, other organs, hocks, etc. are on themenu. My wife almost passed out seeing it all. Glorious and refreshing to see delicious, authentic food on a menu but maybe itshould be segregated to the back? Cannot see out from the enclosed patio because the windows are covered with black plastic. The black all the way around deeply affects the atmosphere / ambiance and it would help immensely to have art on paper overthat. Read more
