    Vegetarian Dumpling
    Navin M.

    Quick service and ample seating. It's a nice, clean space. You order and pay at the front. And your number is called in the back. I ordered veggie dumplings and they came out in five minutes. These are the more doughy kind but were good.

    The staff was very friendly. Warm greeting a soon as I stepped into the establishment. Lots of seating. They have a sushi bar as well. I got the flavorful roast duck with BokChoi and rice bowl. It was very tender and juicy. The bowl had so much duck that made me extra happy.

    We were in the area to get just salad but it was closed, so we popped in for a quick bite. Food quality is really low. All premade stuff with too much sugar. The stack of napkin has grease all over... Their name was spelled wrong on their own cup - emperor dumping...

    Peas and carrots in dumplings is such a bummer. The vinegar served with the dumplings is also very sweet. Everywhere else I've ever gotten dumplings, the vinegar tastes like vinegar.

    Wontons noodle soup
    Jen T.

    I ordered wonton noodle soup for lunch. The wontons were so freshly made and delicious. The soup was tasty and not salty. Space is welcoming and clean. So convenient for me because it is right across FIT! The coffee is also surprisingly good!!

    Steamed pork bun

    This is a clean environment. Lunch special is a good option for something quick. Love their freshly steamed pork bun.

    Tried this place after getting a good discount. I was surprised by the food. It was pretty good. The best thing I could say about this place is that it's good Chinese food. It's a little more pricey than the standard Chinese takeout place. Still, it's worth checking out and I'll likely be back. As for the food I got, the fried chicken was delicious but not fresh or crispy. The white rice was about as good as you could hope for. The beef was thin, tender, and tasty. The veggies didn't overwhelm but I wish there was more sauce.

    Food was ok but nothing special. Think you can get better Chinese food including soup dumplings elsewhere in Chelsea.

    It's disgusting. If you want half baked glued meat made with the passion of a beaten down soulless crab. This is your place. Otherwise. No.

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

They are always respectable, listen to your needs, help you find whatever you need. 10 out of 10 best food in the neighborhood. I always come here for the sea urchin and salmon roe/caviar - and it has yet to be beat. It's so good! One of my neighborhood favorites, I come here so often just for the combination of service, quality, and taste. My servers are usually Denise and Toshi and they are always on top of their game. I love it here! Will definitely keep coming back, just for their (excellent) service alone. Highly recommend.

They share a takeout menu and it's super easy to order--text what you want to the phone number on the website and pickup in ~20 minutes :). You pay on a handheld and they don't ask for tip for takeout. I love this process and truly wish more sushi restaurants in LA adopt the takeout box. The only one I know of is hefty but also $200 each lol, making Sanyuu's $69 omakase and $78 Everything don, not to mention the $30 giant salmon nigiri set, A STEAL! I enjoyed most of the pieces but I will say I don't like their amaebi or uni at all. I'm not sure what kind of uni is used here but it's the type with a very strong mineral flavor & aftertaste that I don't find enjoyable. We're spoiled by easy access to live spot prawns everywhere and fresh SB uni. Despite this, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I lived in the city.

The slices aren't thin, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth as one usually gets in a sit down; they are extra thick, and I had to really bite down on some of the pieces. The rice was nicely seasoned and was cooked well + portions are also big to match those thiccccc salmon slices. To be honest, I was getting a little nauseated after 5 pieces, haha~ They were definitely delicious but I'd probably just eat 3 or 4 pieces and share with a friend! It was easy to text the number on the website and coordinate a pickup time, and the staff was friendly when I arrived. The restaurant is a little hard to find as the windows are blinded and the sign is a piece of paper on the door.

The miso was so flavorful! Gyoza, light and absolutely delicious Yellowtail carpaccio- the sauce I could drink it, so good! They only had 4 rolls on the menu so we got one of each, and let me tell you, best rolls I've ever had, each one was unique and different, and amazing! We also shared a pork belly bowl and a una don (eel) bowl, and again both were incredible. Perfectly cooked eel and pork belly, the sauce on both, delicious, and the rice!!!

Since the restaurant was very busy and had a wait from the moment we entered and left, this is definitely a restaurant you'd spend 1 - 1.5 hr max at with the high table turnover (so avoid if you want a quiet date night). Overall, Izakaya Mew has been a reliable staple for years and will likely continue to be with its great food quality and lively ambiance. (4.5/5)
