This is a good place for takeout and a quick bite in; its a tiny little place with a few seats. The service here is really quick and efficient; the food comes out quick and the water is refilled often. The portions are decent, I usually bring home leftovers. The lunch specials are really great! I recommend the pan fried noddles and sesame tofu. They have the option to choose brown rice instead of white if you want a healthier alternative. The pad Thai is pretty good here also, it's less oily and less sour compared to other places. It's not my favorite Chinese place in the area but it's pretty good! read more

The food is great. Best for take out. Service is not too bad either. Love their teas. Shrimp tempura makes my mouth water every time I think of it. Their soups are too good especially if you are craving non spicy food. Pad Thai and curries are flavorful. Fried Tofu appetizer is one of the best. Only drawback which is why no one in my family wants to go there is that everyone running the places is SUPER RUDE. It kind of puts me off too at times. read more

This use to be my favorite Asian food. I'd travel 25 miles; not any more. It was horrible...service and food. We asked for the Chinese crackers w/sauce. There was about an 1-oz sauce; asked our waiter if we could have more, 4 would be dining. He said, 'no.' Then the crackers were stale; oh well, there wasn't anything he could do. We ordered the appetizer special...vegetable dumplings wrapped in rice paper; they were lukewarm-to-cold. Did mention this; oh, this is the way suppose to be served. It did not state on menu these would be cold! The tea was hot, but weak. Guess they're trying to stretch the tea! I did my usual tale-out order. 'The sesame vegetable dumplings with peanut spicy sauce and the basil chicken. These dumplings had been placed on 5" container; to allow them not to stick together with ample sauce. Not this time; were in small container...they were stuck together, congealed and skimpy amount of peanut sauce. On the other hand, the basil chicken was good as usual. When I decided to heat the dumplings, well didn't get the sesame vegetable dumplings; no idea what it was because they were stuck together, meat and shrimp. Disgusting, GARBAGE! I even asked our waiter to repeat the order when given. Our waiter was about 5'8", skinny w/black rimmed glasses. Every time we asked or made a comment, he didn't seem to want to help. For a Saturday evening, usally there would be a 15-30 minute; not this time. Maybe indicatative of the service and food! We were there at prime dinner time. We did order the basil chicken, mixed vegetabes w/garlic sauce and moo shoo pork; these were good. The basil chicken and veggie dishes were salty which hadn't been in the past. read more

Excellent food! By far the best Chinese food in Edison and I have tried several establishments. I am very picky about Chinese food and I am so glad I found this place! The only downside is that they do not deliver. The price point is higher but worth it to not be disappointed or wasteful. Enjoy! read more

This place is located in a strip mall. It's small but not super tight. I may even call it cozy. The food is very good but this is a no frills place. Don't expect doting customer service and someone to ask you six times if you need anything else. It's a simple in and out no frills sit down Chinese place but the food is delicious and a good portion. Will be back. read more

Literally the best Chinese I have ever tasted in my life. The place to eat in is a little small but the food itsef and anything we get has been amazing. We have been going here for 15 years. A tad more expensive than typical chinese places but worth it as it is better than typical. read more

So much better than your average chinese take out. I trust the ingredients a bit more than that cheap crap out there. And while its not as cheap as the small garbage dump chinese take out places its certainly not expensive, and you'll taste why there's a price difference if you give it a try. read more

I've been coming to this place since it first opened. The quality of the food varies from flat out incredible to flat out inedible. There's no telling which you're going to get. Sometimes the seafood tastes like it was marinated in mercury. The WORST part is the owner. Kathy can be absolutely rude. It seems like she doesn't give a damn about her customers. She forgets that our business is what keeps her in business. Tonight I came in at 8:30 with a party of three. She had the audacity to tell us that they were closing at 9:30. She knows us well, and knows that we never linger after we eat. We were finished eating, paid the bill, and were out the door by 8:55. I really work too hard for my money to be treated that way when I'm trying to spend it. I'm not going back anytime soon. read more

When I used to live in Edison my parent and I used to go here quite often. I hadn't been in couple of years though. I was amazed at how good and consistent the quality of food was when I went back. I got the same two dishes I've always gotten. Chicken with mixed veggies and fish fillet with black bean sauce. Both were amazing. The prices are still very reasonable and the service is fast. My only issue with this place is the owner/manager. She gets very cranky around closing time and rushes customers even if they've already been seated. read more

Maybe it's just me, but I thought the place was extremely unpleasant. The workers weren't very welcoming or friendly. The food was okay...definitely not the best Asian food I've eaten, and I'm Asian myself. There is nothing about it that would make me and my boyfriend come there again :/ read more

This place has decent food, but the price is way too high for the quality and the service is rather poor. My girlfriend, my best friend and I ate here one night and it took approximately 20 minutes to get any food. Everything was served family style and you don't get rice with the meal. The most annoying part was our waiter seemed to speak perfect English until it came time to pay and we asked him to split the check. He was really confused when we asked if my friend could pay cash and then what ever the balance was I would pay with my card. My friend gave him $25 and the bill should have come to ~$27 for my girlfriend and myself. Well, the bill comes back and the waiter hand me a bill for the total cost of the meal, believing that the $25 was his tip! Year right, buddy! In the end we sorted it out, but it left a bad taste in our mouth. I probably would not come back to this place. read more

NOTE: If your order comes out wrong or missing entrees, please inform the owner. She needs to know how often this is happening now. If the head chef is ever cooking, one of the best restaurants ever. If you go, experiment a little. You don't have to stick with the traditional Chinese restaurant fare. I love to go with a group, so we can order many different things and share. Each thing is great, and nothing tastes like anything else. ++++++ I just got back from Meemah and I realize I need to write up a more detailed review. Apparently there's something hard to comprehend about "You don't have to stick with the traditional Chinese restaurant fare." When you're at a place with a giant exotic menu, think about it - that probably means they know how to make special things. You don't have to rely on chicken and broccoli. At one table I heard "What do they have here, the usual things?" "Yes." and at another "Oh we'd like a second order of steamed dumplings." You see this huge menu of stuff and you get a second order of the same flavor?? DON'T MAKE ME GET UP!! One time I was there, and the table next to me started berating my favorite waiter because they couldn't find bok choy on the menu. The waiter kept saying "Chinese broccoli" in reply, but they were all "What kind of restaurant doesn't have bok choy!" insulting his living. That would be like going to a fancy Italian restaurant and saying "Why don't you have Spaghetti-Os?! "Well sir, why don't you try our hand-made squash ravioli made with imported truffle oil blabla" "What kind of place is this without Spaghetti-Os?!" I couldn't take it anymore and I finally interrupted and assured them they'd be more than happy with the Chinese broccoli. And they ate every last bit and said to each other how it was great. So I'm going to just list out what you should get for the first couple of times that you go. It's a lot of things. If you're in a group of two or three that would be great. If not, either try the things in different visits, or just have leftovers. They'll still be better than any Chinese restaurant you've ever gone to, no matter how you warm them up. EVERYONE GET: ============== APPETIZERS * Sesame Dumplings in Hot Sauce or Sesame Vegetable Dumplings in Hot Sauce (not super hot; spicy but bearable by anyone, I guess it's a peanut-based sauce) * Minced Chicken in Lettuce Wrapper * Coconut Prawns SOUP * Steamed Dumpling Soup (it serves two but makes good left-over. The dumplings have shrimp inside. The other soups are great too but you must know about this one.) * SUBSTITUTE BROWN RICE FOR WHITE RICE - BETTER FOR YOU AND YUMMY SPICY LOVERS: ============= BEEF - THIS RECOMMENDED DISH ON HOLD; NEW CHEF DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT YET - * Shredded Beef with Hot Chili Peppers (Unless you really really love hot things, you should probably pick out all the hot peppers, but NOT the scallions, pay attention. If the head chef is cooking, you may be able to leave the hot peppers in, and even people who never eat hot things can still bear it. I don't know what it is that's happening when he cooks. I feel fairly certain he's not sneaking in with a special utility belt filled with special oils and seasonings; I guess it's just how long and how hot he cooks things. It's always great food, but if he's there, you hallucinate from how good it is.) PORK * Boneless Pork Chops with Peppercorns and Chili Peppers (These are very thin and fried in some magic way. A little salty; if you've also gotten the Shredded Beef with Hot Chili Peppers, get all those hot peppers you were going to throw out and put them on this dish. I don't know why the hot peppers that were unbearable on the shredded beef are crucial here and you can just eat them straight up. I suspect it is just a Mystery of Life. Maybe it's a food combination thing. Like how they say to eat applesauce when you eat pork because it helps you digest. At any rate, I cannot properly explain it. People who can't bear spicy can push off the hot peppers in this dish and the pork won't burn them, but really, if you're afraid to die, you're afraid to live.) CAN'T BEAR SPICY / ADDITIONAL ============================ VEGETABLES AND TOFU * Dried Sauteed String Beans or Sauteed Chinese Broccoli with Fresh Garlic POULTRY * Basil Chicken (But don't do it if you really don't like basil.) * Golden Ginger Chicken (Amazing.) SEAFOOD * Golden Ginger Prawns (If you're not in the mood for chicken; IDK why it says prawns, to me they're just giant shrimp.) * Aromatic Prawns (This comes in a fried bowl of some crispy thing, and has a kind of sweet white sauce and pineapple and delicious carmelized walnuts.) Alright this is a good start. Try all of these things the first couple of times and then branch out. Another thing is, if you eat too much, you still won't feel sick. I mean, don't do it, but the food is so fresh you never get that UGGGH feeling after you ate. read more

Good food, and great service. Price is just right too. Place is always packed.

Food is good. Staff is not. Staff is unfriendly, pressures for tips, and takes too long to ask for orders, prepare and serve. Takes 40 mins to ask for our orders; 60 mins to prepare/serve three basic rice/noodle dishes; 10 mins to rush us to pay and leave after serving. read more

First time I walked in for take out in a while. Immediately realized something was different and confirmed so by reading Yelp. The dreaded "new Mgmt". Thankfully the food was as consistent as I expected, but I was surprised not see the place as full as it once had been on a weeknight. Hope they can survive! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Hands down the best Chinese food I've had. This is a place that never disappoints. Food is tasty and the service is great. Easily my favorite Chinese take out or eat in. read more

I'm a big fan of Meemah's, and although some of my friends and family find that it is simply average, I think it is consistently excellent. Whenever the dinner question remains unanswered and 7:00 rolls around, I almost always head over to pick up my usual: chicken and broccoli with brown rice. It's always flavorful and piping hot. The woman that owns the restaurant is very sharp and definitely knows what she is doing- she somehow manages to seat customers, answer the phone/take orders, and man the cash register all at the same time. I'm impressed that after all these years, she hasn't made a mistake with my order! read more

Ok my first impression I was very confused. I ordered wonton soup and when I looked at the wontons they looked wrong and in had tonask the waiter if it was correct. Then I tasted it, I dont think I can have wonton soup anywhere else again it was delicious. I ordered the curry chicken it was the best blend of sweet and spicy. I never give 5 stars but for them its a must read more

Came here for lunch in the middle of the week. Their service was very quick and the portion size was quite decent. I had the chicken with ginger which comes with some string beans which are pan fried with a thickened sweet oister and soy sauce. The food was actually tasty but kind of overpriced. Ambiance is pretty basic and stale. Overall a decent place to come for lunch. read more

Rating this place with 1 star is very, very generous! To start with the service is plain bad. Have to wait for ever before cold food gets to you. The gentleman at front reg ister needs a complete attitude adjustment. You can not get any nastier that him. The food is not so great, over-rated, and way ,way overpriced. Asked for a chicken dinner, got a ton of rice and a few pieces of chicken(not sure if it was chicken). Waiters are stone-faced nasty people(along with owner) They all look miserable. Always came here, but no more. Please, if you like good chinese food and service, that is reasonably priced, go to any other chinese restaurant besides this one. read more

My husband and I come here for Christmas every year with his parents. I absolutely love this restaurant - the food is unique and so flavorful. We always order the same dishes and share: -Steamed vegetable dumplings in sesame peanut sauce -House crispy fish with mixed vegetables -Kway teo with seafood -Tofu with fresh shitakes -Chinese broccoli with garlic And it's BYO! The staff could be a bit more friendly, but I'm sure working Christmas is about as stressful as it gets. read more

Great chinese food close to the hospital! Quick and easy and reliable! Totally recommend!

Have heard this is a great place for Chinese. My Wife has been here many times and enjoyed the food. We were prepared to go again last night around 9PM. The "closing time" is listed as 10PM. It is located in a strip mall and has a small dining room. When we walked in around 9, we were promptly greeted with "Take out only" while looking around to see other diners there. Granted this night there had been a small accumulation of snow that day (1 to 2" max), the 'polite' greeting was also followed by 'we are closing early, it is very slow'. In turn we turned around and left. I would not recommend to any young couple who is looking for a quite night as accommodations in the dining room are quite cramped looking and the front windows highlight the vertical shades (always a nice legacy from the '80's). read more

This is absolutely the best Asian food in the Edison/Metuchen area. Delicious recipes made with the highest quality ingredients. My sister lives in NYC, but her favorite dumplings are Meemah's. I don't know why they don't have a higher rating - our international group of friends consider the Meemah meals they've eaten at our house to be some of the best Asian food ever. Try the Basil Chicken, Sesame dumplings. read more

Great food! Great service! The food is fresh and the Pad Thai is off da chain!! ;) if you are looking for a great Chinese /Malaysian food this is it!! read more

I ordered the sesame dumplings and he general Tso chicken. The were delicious! Can't wait to go back.

Its important to note that even though these guys advertise and say they are a malaysian place, they are really mala chineese and cook more of the Chineese food rather than classic malaysian like Roti Canai and other coconut milk based dishes which is classic Malaysian, so in my ranking of classic Malay they are a One star... However they do cook a real mean selection of Chineese food, I visited this place almost 15 years ago when I tried to order the classic malay dishes and got burned, later i sampled a few takle outs and have been a fan since. Firstly they are super crowed on friday/sat as they have a regulat clients. They are a little low on the hot spice so they cater well to the American Chineese crowd ( larger client base). Here are some classics that you MUSt try there. 1. The veg/pork steamed dumplings with spicy seseme sause ( awsome) 2. The Veg wonton soup ( not many other places have this --- they give you a larger sized bown for take out). The other dishes like Hot Pot, mango chicken, chicken with cashews are well above average, I have been eating for 10+ years and definitly recommend this place. If you are looking for authentic malaysian then head to Penang in Edison. read more

If you order standard Chinese food here, you'll miss what makes it special. Order the Malay items on the menu or the specials. They're different, and usually excellent. The conventional Chinese food can be very good despite some of the other Yelp reviews. My family has been using this restaurant for years as our "dinner on the road" spot when driving between Boston and Washington DC. We're always pleased with our experience, so we keep coming back. read more

One of the great places for East Asian food. It's an elegant one and from my experience many high end Asian restaurants can't be backed up by their food. The service is excellent and the food is always fresh! & it's crowded on peak times, which exposes that people want what they offer. One of my favorites is the Pan-Fried Noodles, they're crunchy and zesty! Really a fine place. read more

This is by far the most authentic Chinese/Taiwanese food there is. This is NOT an Americanized Chinese restaurant that you might find in Newark that sells chicken wings and frech fries. What you get here are extremely tasty, well prepared and authentic dishes. This will be the last Chinese place you ever try. read more

Meemah has got to be my top place to grab chinese food in Edison. Its fast, its a barely on the pricey side but definitely affordable and definitely worth it. Their food is nothing short of delicious. Unfortunately the staff isnt the sweetest, but after going so often its almost part of the experience now!! Take out is just as great as dining in. I love the family style searving as well so I would suggest ordering for the table and sharing everything (which is the best way to go about eating anyways!) I recommend the sesame dumplings and the salt and pepper squid as my favorites on the menu. If you are looking for something new that has great food, great prices, and fast you need to go to Mee-Mah!! read more

Love this place. All the reviews are true. Service was great although business was a bit slow tonight. Awesome dumplings. Very friendly employees. Happy to help you. Fresh and tasty--pricier than usual but this is not your run of the mill Chinese restaurant. Don't miss this one! read more

Came to dine in. First of all, it's cold as hell in the restaurant. Only a few tables with patrons but why did it take them forever to come take our order?! Dining area is pretty shabby and simple tbh. Hard pass on Meemah's. I wouldn't want to eat with my hat and coat on anyway. read more

Excellent Food Every time we order from them, the food is fresh and fantastic. The noodles you get with the soups are definitely homemade and delicious. They are closed Mondays, fyi. Really great food. Enjoy! read more

Courteous employees and good service. The food is quality and the portions are a great size. Highly recommend either the chicken pad thai or the sweet and sour chicken. read more

Wish they have the option for 8 stars! Food is a bit pricey but portions and quality is there. When we go to our child's orthodontist (they're in the mall there) we order take out. Never disappoints! read more

I've never eaten in at this place but I've taken out of here for about twenty years- as far back as I can remember. The food is very good and has an interesting taste to it. Certainly not authentic but definitely not the normal oily taste you get from take out food. It seems the cook has changed in the last few years because the food seems to all have a similar taste now. But it's still very good. Its my biggest guilty pleasure food and something I look forward to eating every time I return to my hometown. read more

Good quality Chinese/Malaysian food. It is our go to place for Chinese food. Better by far than all others in the area.

Perhaps the best Chinese/Malaysian food in the area. Everything is cooked to order, everything is fresh made and everything is delicious, with just the right amount of seasoning. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive--if your main waiter isn't around, there is always someone else to come tend to you if you have a need. the portions are just right and I love that they use real chicken breast and not the pressed cardboard stuff some other places use. People might say that this price is a bit on the pricy side -and it is compared to your standard Chinese food place you'll find on every corner. But what sets Meemah's apart is the quality that goes into every dish and the service. I just wish this place delivered as it's on the other side of town. read more

I don't understand why others rave about this place. It's just mediocre food. We had lunch there and the dishes were so Americanized and forgettable. If you want better Chinese food, try King's Chef or Wonder Seafood. If you want to eat American food, get a sandwich and save your money. read more
