Mei Wei

Tried ordering online for delivery but damn!, it takes 45mins so went to pick up instead. Food was pretty good, nothing to special but tastes better than some other Chinese places around the area. Although the curry did have a little to much onion. Fried rice was good not to oily and almost every spoon full had a piece of either veggie or meat.
Definitely family owned and run, with a 12 year old at the register and baby stuff all throughout the dinning area.

I love this place! Found it on Unilocal and I have done delivery ever since! The food is great every time. Delivery is a good speed and the prices are the best! I definitely suggest if looking for a nice goto delivery for the night!

Several things I like about Mei Wei. First the proximity to my home. They are 5 minutes away. Second the food is delicious. Better than some of the other Asian restaurants in the area. Third they are fast. 10 minutes to fill my last order. I like the idea of a family run operations too. The only thing I would criticize is that the dining room is significantly cluttered. I’m talking boxes piled up in the front of the dining room. It’s just not very inviting to sit down and eat. Interestingly enough the kitchen was much more organized. I’m also not a fan of the bright pink colors. Great food for take out but skip dining in until the dining room clutter is removed.

I went here because I had a menu delivered to my house and saw the 5.55 lunch menu so thought I would give it a try. The food was fine and large portions for the money. It is clearly owned by a family and grandpa is shelling pea pods at the corner table while the 10 yr old daughter is taking orders at the cash register. I think mom is the cook. Like I said the food is not bad but the interior can be greatly improved. Fairly good value but maybe take it to go!

Ordered a variety of food delivered. Order came quickly and was exactly what we ordered. Delivery person was quite friendly to boot. Food was what you would expect. Not the best. But very good. Definitely will order again.

It appears this place has changed hands. I couldnt call in my order, so I drove in instead…
They have have an unsupervised preteen struggling to run the phone, front desk, computer and cash register.
There was a lot of drama going on in the main part of the restraunt. I will just say I walked out and wont be going back.

We used to eat here a lot, at least three times a month. The usual order was General Tso’s Chicken with Fried Rice. We would occasionally purchase pork egg rolls and Crab rangoon (which is especially delicious) on the side.
We always enjoyed it, for the most part. Sometimes the General Tso’s would be hit or miss, coming out either too spicey or just didn’t taste the same. But overall, we always enjoyed it.
This lasted about 3 – 4 years. One night we found a large wad of strange looking hair on the General Tso’s and it was covered in the sauce, couldn’t tell if it was actual hair or ginger root. It spoiled our appetite’s nonetheless.
People are right about the inside of the joint. While the asian couple who own the place have always been kind to us, the place was ALWAYS a giant mess, with their kids running around, playing and screaming.
When they decided to hire help, they did in fact hire a 12 – 14 year old boy to take orders at the register, alongside his grandma who would often switch back and fourth with him.
Never had any problems with wrong orders, missing items, or anything like that. The food was always good, but apparently they got too busy for quality control to be important.

This place is horrible. The restaurant is very dirty. I ordered sesame chicken lunch combo and found a black hair on top of my chicken as I opened it. I will never eat here again.

We ordered from here on new years eve for two reasons– one they are open till 10:30 (other asian take-​outs in the area close at 8:30) and two they deliver. We had never tried this place before but wanted to give it a shot. We ordered off their website around 9:00 and got a confirmation email time stamped by our computer at 9:14. While waiting for our food to be delivered, we got a call at 9:40. Here is our phone conversation to better illustrate my experience.
Me: Hello?
Mei Wei Lady: you ordered chinese food?
Me: yes…
Mei Wei Lady: Oh my delivery man went home 15 minutes ago.
Me: Oh ok so we have to pick it up then?
Mei Wei Lady: oh no, no. We closed 10 minutes ago. I close at 9:30 tonight.
Me: Well we ordered our food at 9:00 and got a confirmation email at 9:14?
Mei Wei Lady: oh no, I closed, I go home.
Me: Ok, so you’re not going to make our food at all?
Mei Wei Lady: No (CLICK)
If closing early on NYE, fine, post that on your website and don’t allow people to order offline during that time! Also, why wait 30mins to call someone to decide you’re not making their food? Lastly, how about an APOLOGY at least an «I am sorry» at any point during this mess???
So many things wrong with this situation. We won’t be going there or ordering from them. Ever.

Awful. Kung Pao chicken didn’t have any spice. My husband thought the food was bland and not worth the price. I won’t go back there again.

Maybe the others who wrote up reviews of Mei Wei went to another Mei Wei. They have the BEST WALNUT SHRIMP or CHICKEN in this area. My Son orders the BEEF LO MEIN. We order the Fried Cheese Wontons. Boneless Spare Ribs. All this food is great. The nice thing about Mei Wei is they Deliver so Immaculate I. Thry that and be nice they will be nice in return

I called for a take-​out order. My order was wrong when I got there. I offered to pay for the wrong order if they add the correct order but the lady KICKED ME OUT.

My husband and I ordered from here this past Saturday for the first time and we liked it. We got the General Tso’s chicken dinner combo with fried rice and eggroll, as well as some shrimp toast and BBQ chicken skewers. We got very nice generous portions of food for a good price. We liked it. The eggrolls weren’t anything special but, I usually only like Vietnamese eggrolls (I’m a little spoiled that way). But everything else tasted good and we will order from here again.

This is the nearest Chinese place to my house so if I need fast it just wins by default. I’ve only gotten food from here a couple of times, however.
The food is fine — nothing special.
This last time I was there a young (white) boy was manning the cash register and another at the wok in back. They looked to be about 14. I just found it odd. There was also an older women helping at the register who seemed to have NO clue what she was doing. It really almost looked like they were doing a fundraiser for school like they do at Cub. It was weird.
Anyway, I had ordered an eggroll (WAY small for $ 1, IMO) and an order of veggie fried rice. I was taking to go so I asked for some extra soy sauce and a spoon. The lady stands around clueless for a bit then gets my spoon. I ask again for soy sauce and she tells me «its in the bag.» The kid tells her «There might not be much in there if she didn’t get white rice.» Lady opens the bag and tells me «there’s 3 packets.» Ok. Whatever. I’m in a hurry to get to work so I trust there are 3 packets.
I get to work and open the bag to find ONE packet of soy sauce, one eggroll sauce and one fortune cookie. I’m peeved at this point and vow never to go back there.
Moral of the story: If a customer asks you for more soy sauce, just give them more damn soy sauce. On a $ 9 RICE order, what is a couple more packets of soy sauce!!!

One of the best Asian food places that is not in the twin cities! Really good food if you like Asian food and do not want to drive all the way to the cities this is the place to go!
