Reviews for Mei Mei Chinese Restaurant in St Paul, MN
The worst buffet I've ever been to!!!!!!! To start it off they greeted us as we walked in was not busy at all. There was no food... in the buffet, cooks and brings out one item at a time only enough for 1 person, told them something was too spicy so theycooked more and that was even more spicy, had food before silverware, making the things we didn't even ask for and was told Ihave to wait for other food to cook with an attitude. By far the worst service I've ever had at a buffet I don't have time towait that's why I went to a buffet where you can grab and go I'm not paying buffet prices to wait 40 mins and get a half a plateof food for 3 people Read more
Mei Mei food was so good especially the Buffet. After the owner left I believe her family took over and everything changed now I... have not visited that place and a long time after I taste it a few times and the taste was different and the way the food wasCook is very different. I miss Mei Mei and her husband cooking!! Read more
My husband and I ordered takeout from this place for the first time since we read all the great reviews, the menu had a variety... of choices, everything looked really affordable, and the food in the pictures looks delicious. However, we were reallydisappointed when we got home and realized only one of our entrees had white rice and the other, that was supposed to also comewith white rice didn't, so check your order before you go home with it. Also, the chicken was very chewy and not soft, it alsodidn't have a lot of flavor. We ordered some cream cheese wontons and those were pretty decent, I liked how crispy they were buta little salty in my personal opinion. On the plus side, the service was very quick. Our takeout meal was ready in only 10minutes. But, sadly, I don't think we'll be returning here. Read more
The food isn't exactly the same as many other commercialized Chinese restaurants, but it's absolutely delicious and loaded with... tasty vegetables, perfectly cooked noodles or rice, and tender meat, all in portions big enough to eat for two or more meals!Their fried rice isn't as fried as I would expect, but I get their lo mein every time I go, and their thin noodles and crispbean sprouts and onions never fail to delight! For a real treat, try some fried chicken - it isn't breaded in thick chunks likeKFC, but instead a lighter, ultra-crispy batter over juicy meat. It's a real hidden gem of a menu item. Lastly, do not misstheir wontons! They're a classic Chinese food indulgence done right, and they disappear on the dinner table. I go here once ortwice a month and I cannot express how grateful I am to have delicious and affordable food that gives me a reprieve from cookingand doing dishes when I just need a break. Thank you, Mei Mei! Read more
The buffet is back! Mon.-Fri. 11a.m.-2p.m. only $7.99. Good food and service.
By far the best Chinese food in the Twin Cities!!! Their fried rice is to die for as well as their cook to order fried chicken... legs!!! Read more
Potstickers are thick and not what I was expecting. Sesame chicken was too sweet for my tastes but fine. Honestly the only truly... attractive feature is the close proximity to where I live and that they were open today and Yang’s wasn’t. Read more
We ordered two orders of Chicken Lo Mein, 1 pt size Chicken Fried Rice, and 1 order of 2 Egg Rolls and 8 wontons (very... reasonable price on those) I highly recommend the Lo Mein. It was very delicious and had lots of carmelized onion. The friedrice had diced egg, green onion, and bits of chicken and soy sauce mixed in and lightly fried. The egg rolls are a must. As myson called them, “Big Beefy Boys!” No beef in them though lol. The lady who owns it assisted us. She was very kind andhelpful as we were deciding what to order. I forgot to order pop and instead of running my credit card, she gave us one of themfor free! Now that’s good customer service! Also made us feel very welcomed and chatted with us a bit. Read more
