Very good, properly spicy, Sichuan food. The peanut shrimp was truly amazing. Although the service isn't great, Baiwei still lives up to its reputation as one of the best Chinese restaurants in London.
I’m no expert, but I’d say naming your restaurant after a Maoist regime that saw the death and displacement of hundreds of thousands of innocent people doesn’t make for comfortable dining. Thankfully, ‘The Great Leap Forward’ – a dinky little Sichuan eatery located on Newport Road – is now named Baiwei (百味, which translates to ‘100 flavours’), which I think you’ll agree is far more appetising.
A small but well formed restaurant with a very authentic feeling of a Chinese restaurant. The food at Beiwei was fantastic and very reminiscent of what I encountered in the Szechuan province of China earlier this year. I would highly recommend the Dan Dan noodles!
