Bon Wei Milan: Chinese Luxury Worth the (Pricey) Price.
The Bon Wei Chinese Restaurant in Milan presents itself as a true destination for those seeking a fine Chinese dining experience. Intrigued (but not deterred) by the restaurant's Michelin-starred listing, we immediately noticed the restaurant's dedication to creating a unique atmosphere.
The setting is elegant and welcoming, with lighting and décor that lend the entire place a truly evocative atmosphere. It's immediately clear that this is no ordinary Chinese restaurant.
The true highlight of the Bon Wei is, without a doubt, the service. The staff is impeccably professional, staffed by waiters who are not only experts, but also know the menu by heart and are ready to guide guests through their gastronomic journey with expert recommendations. Their attentiveness and expertise are its true strength.
The cuisine, exquisitely Chinese, is presented through a well-structured menu, which divides typical dishes by region, allowing you to explore different traditions. The food is excellent overall: the ingredients are excellent and the cooking is professional and flawless, with attention to every detail. It should be noted that the portions are not particularly generous, a detail that is normal for a restaurant of this caliber. The only weakness I found is the plating, which doesn't always live up to the intrinsic quality of the dish.
For lovers of fine wine, the wine cellar is remarkably well-stocked, ranging authoritatively from Italian, French, Spanish, and even Californian wines, offering pairings worthy of the culinary offerings.
Of course, all this quality comes at a price. Bon Wei is positioned in the high-end segment, halfway between a Michelin-starred restaurant and a very high-end establishment. It's not an experience for everyone, but the price is justified by the level of service and the quality of the ingredients.
Final rating: 4 out of 5. An excellent and highly recommended dining experience, which would deserve the top spot if only a little improvement in the aesthetics of the dishes.

During my weekday lunch break, I don't understand the €5 cover charge, nor the €12 for three almost-frozen mochi. The Vietnamese rolls are excellent, and the stir-fried rice with vegetables is good. I won't be returning because of the exaggerated prices.

Very good, but you pay more for the classy atmosphere than the food.
Quick, courteous, and knowledgeable service.
"Mysterious" menu... so many dishes, and no explanations, even for dishes like General So-and-so's rice 🙄
I was going to dine to relax, but instead I was left sitting at the next table with the usual group of Milanese who talked about work the whole time 😵💫

Bon Wei presents itself as a high-end Chinese dining experience, and indeed the ambiance and service reflect that sophisticated image. The staff were friendly and attentive.
However, the true measure of a restaurant is its food, and here, Bon Wei disappointed me. While the food wasn't "bad," it was significantly below average for the price. I've had tastier, more authentic Chinese cuisine at restaurants that cost less than half of what Bon Wei charges. I had the feeling that the food is geared more toward those who aren't very familiar with real Chinese cuisine, offering very "domesticated" and undistinguished flavors, almost like a watered-down version for the uninitiated.
If you're looking for a refined ambiance and impeccable service for a night out, Bon Wei might be the place for you.
But if your priority is truly good Chinese food, you'll probably find more satisfying options elsewhere in Milan.
I won't be returning.
