Wei’s Noodle House is one of the best chinese restaurants in Ottawa for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Chinatown.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Wei's Noodle House occupies a basement space beneath a REMAX building on Somerset Street — a few tables, a takeout counter doing the heavier volume, and no particular interest in announcing itself to anyone who isn't already looking. That physical modesty is part of the point. This is an owner-operated room with low overhead and a regular clientele that would notice immediately if standards slipped. The menu moves across Chinese, Thai, and Japanese reference points, which in another context might read as indecision, but here tracks as the practical range of a kitchen cooking for a neighbourhood rather than performing a concept. The vegetarian and vegan dishes are where Wei's draws the most consistent attention. The Coconut Veggie Tofu Noodle Soup appears in repeat-visitor reviews with enough frequency to mark it as the dish people specifically return for — reportedly a broth built on coconut richness and layered aromatics rather than the thin, afterthought versions that pass for coconut soup elsewhere in the price range. The Tofu Pad Thai draws similar loyalty, with diners describing it not as a default for meat-avoiders but as a dish that stands on its own terms. The Hot and Sour Soup is singled out across multiple accounts for landing the acid-heat balance that most renditions reportedly miss. For those ordering from the meat side of the menu, the Shrimp Wonton Soup and the BBQ Beef Noodle Soup are the dishes that surface most in recommendations, rounding out a short menu that covers more ground than the room's square footage implies. Practical reality: seating is limited enough that the takeout counter exists for good reason — if your group runs larger than two, plan accordingly. The price point is among the lowest on Somerset, which makes over-ordering a reasonable strategy. The Coconut Veggie Tofu Noodle Soup is the dish to anchor any order around.
