Wei's Fort Greene
8.2
A Fulton Street sit-down that hits the sweet spot between comfort and polish—dumplings, noodle-house energy, and a menu built for repeat orders. It’s best when you commit to two signatures and one vegetable side, letting the kitchen’s savory, fried-and-steamed strengths land hot.

Chicken dumplings (fried), Salt & pepper shrimp, Hot & sour soup
