Mr Wei’s on London Circuit is conveniently close to the Canberra Theatre complex, making it a good spot for a quick meal before an event. It’s open 6 days for lunch and dinner (closed Sundays).

Prices seem a little high and corkage is $10 per bottle, but if you have the Canberra Entertainment Book, it helpfully offers a 25% discount.

The atmosphere is  very pleasant and more upmarket than you expect, looking in from outside. It’s also fun that you can actually see the famous Mr Wei working in the kitchen.

One serve dumplings and two main dishes with rice can be just right for four medium appetites.

Pork dumplings boiled $13.50

Yu xiang Pork $22.50                   Fangxiang Green Curry Banana  Prawn $26.50
