I think this place is phenomenal. I love their food. Service is good, the waiter was always on point and very attentive, offered his thoughts on different drinks. It is a really a great vibe. Great for solo, girl date and with your significant other. I always love the late night happy hour menu.

This place was PACKED. Thank goodness we have a resy. Started with drinks at the bar. Fantastic bartender. Then decided on trying many things: 1. Spare ribs - OMG 2. Wings - OMG X113 3. Fried rice - so delish, umami and savory flavors 4. Caesar salad - crunchy, refreshing, mild miso flavor

Vibes. Vibes. Vibes baby! That's what we're looking for for a birthday and Mei Mei served on a Saturday night. Thanks to Carlos and the team for such a great time. The menu is legit, really great food options and amazing cocktails. Definitely giving pricey date night. Even cuter is their lounge downstairs where you can get a drink or hookah and keep the party going. I'll most definitely be back.

I always enjoy Mei Mei when I go. I've gone for seated dinner 3 times & sat at the bar a few times for Happy Hour as well. The food is consistently good. I love that they usually have a DJ when I've dined. My favorite items to order are the Miso Caeser salad & the Chinese Garden cocktail.

My girlfriend and I came here a while ago. Dry peppered fish and fried string beans are the way to go. The fish is fresh and flaky with a beautiful mix of different spices. It has a nice kick with dried peppers, pepper corn, and turmeric. The string beans are charred to perfection with a little nice crunch. Will definitely be back.

Came here for happy hour and this place is so cute and very insta worthy. It was very dark inside with music blasting. I would recommend this for a girls night or even date night. Going during the day felt weird as soon as I stepped outside to see it was sunny. Service was great and the food was outstanding. We ordered the kimchee fried rice, spring rolls and edamame. Highly recommend the rice and edamame! The fried wontons that is complimentary was also tasty and addicting. Drinks were fun but not strong. We each had 3 drinks and they were so easy to drink, but wasn't strong at all. I'd still return for a girls night during dinner before going out or another special dinner occasion!

I made reservations here to have dinner with my girlfriend - my hubby had come here a few months prior for a private dinner and raved about it so I had to experience for myself ;-) When we arrived to the restaurant at the same time but my friend had a hard time finding parking and drove around for about 10 mins before she gave in and parked in a lot ($30); I was able to find street parking almost directly in front of the restaurant (note: we dined here on a Friday night). We were seated immediately but it did take us a little while to order because we were caught up in conversation and the chic, chill vibe of the restaurant. Once we finally made up our minds, we ordered cheesesteak eggs rolls and shrimp bao buns for appetizers and shared an entree of seafood fried rice; for drinks we both ordered mocktails - I ordered a Purple Haze and my friend ordered Yummy Yummy Lychee. The food was served with good presentation and was tasty - it was the perfect temperature and seasoned well (not over seasoned). The service was pretty good also; our waiter checked on us multiple times and in the one instance when we couldn't find him, a server attended to our request. We both had a very enjoyable evening and this was a great wind down for the work week. The music adds to the atmosphere as well as the lighting. This place is great for a girls' night out or a date night or an I just need to get out night (lol). I highly recommend... Tip: As this spot is trendy AND there is a photographer on-site that walks around (pictures are for purchase), I recommend that you dress to feel your best ;-)

Walked in to meet my daughter for brunch, couldn't help but notice the beautiful dimly ambiance of this place, the decor was inviting. The Dj was doing his thing spinning the tunes and vibing with Usher (my favorite artist) Upon being seated, shortly after the photographer stopped by our table to see if we wanted pictures taken. She took about four shots they were beautiful we purchased two. Our waitress came and took our We ordered the mimosa flights and I ordered the lamb chops, scrambled eggs, potatoes and she ordered the crab cake eggs Benedict with potatoes. The lamb chops were thickly cut, but a little bland, eggs and potatoes were good. My daughters order was good but her eggs Benedict was over cooked. So nothing big to complain about wld definitely go back cause the food and vibe was good. Our server was nice and very attentive to our needs.
