I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Charleston or anyone who lives in Charleston. Great vibe inside, and the staff super friendly. I will definitely be back!!! Oh and get the Sichuan Sunday. Perfect balance of sweet, salty and spice. ”
“ This was authentic Szechuan.... flavor flavor wow! Everything was tasty. They serve family style so bring a bunch of friends. The silk beef was amazing. The banging hot chicken was fire hot! Just an FYI the sour spicy mushroom are woodear mushroom...a little different than regular one, very tasty however a different texture. Very good bring your adventures side with you... will not be disappointed. ”
“ Asian food with a unique flair! Absolutely delicious! If you like spice this is the place to go. Quickly became our favorite place on the Island! Sichuan beef, dumplings and the green beans are amazing! Right next to the pour house. ”
“ This place is truly something special! Delicious food is full of flavor and a heat that tastes great and better, yet it doesn't hurt you in the end, if you know what I mean. Service and atmosphere are both terrific. Great for solo or date night but not a place to take the kids, for everyone's consideration! Must try the Sichuan Sunday, incredible! ”
“ I normally don’t review places but I feel like Kwei Fei is well deserving.I am a chef and have been to some of the top restaurants in the U.S/world and this has to be one of my top favorites! The moment I walked in and saw the reviews written on the walls, then sitting down listening to teen mortgage I knew it was going to be a great experience. The food was extremely flavorful, the spice and Sichuan are heavily focused but very well balanced, especially with the cocktails (I highly recommend the Black Hole Sun). The whole ambiance of the place being upscale with the punk rock undertone, reflects perfectly in both the front and back of the house. I am unfortunately from out of town, but will definitely be back anytime I visit Charleston again, highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique dining experience. ”
“ I like this restaurant! I had never been until I went. It was so good I was like whoa! They got this spicy chicken called la zi JI that I like a lot when I get to there. My favorite dish is the broccolini but it might be the dumplings too. Also the fortune cookie ice cream is very delicious- not me eating 3 bowls in one sitting! the vibes are always on point and the woodwork behind the bar is simply awesome, my father likes woodwork pointed it out and I agreed. They got innovative cocktails ”
“ One of top 3 favorite restaurants in Charleston, and I’ve lived here for over a decade! Always have a good time here and the food is unique and flavorful and always an experience. This is how food&bev should be—easygoing staff with delicious food. Shoutout to Peter and Karina behind the bar, and Libby also! ”
