Our favorites for takeout were better in person: - Walnut shrimp: good mix of crunch, sweet, and salty without drying out the shrimp - Yu Xiang eggplant: not too spicy and goes well with the creaminess of the eggplant; so good on top of rice - Red bean buns: good if you're a fan of red bean and want something a little sweet Other things we've tried: - Pork dumplings in red chili oil: a little too oily for my taste, but my husband likes them for the spice - House lo mein and house fried rice: solid options if you want a standard dish that will please all palates - comes with beef, chicken, and shrimp - Hot and sour soup: my parents both enjoyed these Overall, a satisfying meal both in person and for take out!

We got an array of standard fare as well as some things that I don't normally see on menus of other Chinese restaurants around town. The dumplings were good, though I was underwhelmed by the lack of spice on the Spicy Pork wonton dumplings. The flavor was very good, but it was not spicy at all. For entrees, we got Curry Chicken and Cumin Lamb. I'd never had Cumin Lamb before, and it rocketed to the top of my favorites list! It was gorgeously flavorful, fragrant, and spicy, warming as I ate. The spiced oil soaked into the rice, spreading the flavor to every last grain. It's really lovely and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is bigger than it appears from the outside, with a bright, cheerful ambience. Despite being busy, it never felt too loud, which was nice. The servers worked as a team and were very attentive. It was a great meal!

Promptly seated, drinks brought out, order taken and food delivered fast, hot and correct. The background music was some chinese music tv station playing modern easy listening tunes and, along with the comfortable chairs and solid table made for a relaxing environment. The food? meh. You can see our order in the latest photo and how expensive it was. the Lo Mein was mostly tasteless and certainly lacking in thast "lo mein flavor." Although the meat was tender, the sauce was just a sticky brown sauce. Surprisingly, the Spicy Pickle Tofu was essentially the same sticky brown sauce as the Lo Mein but with some fried tofu in it and without the noodles but nothing otherwise remarkable. You can tell by looking at my earlier picture attached. The old picture shows a bright and colorful plate. The dish today was a dark brown (you could hardly see the tofu from the beef) as everything was just dark. Eggplant seemed to have a similar brown sauce as well but the eggplant was otherwise tasteless. Nothing popped. Chicken bites were bland and not at all crunchy. Just fried to soft texture but no real flavor. According to our server, the menu was just recently updated about a month ago. We noticed because one of our favorites was the Fried Taro Pie which is now gone from the menu and the server said yes, that's right. Maybe this place has a new owner or chef, but it's no longer in my top asian restaurants for Tucson.

Rangoons were perfectly crispy, while the chow fun had a delicious wok hei flavor. The noodles and beef were tender and the dish had plenty of onions/green onions/etc. The only thing I didn't care for - and this is a personal preference - is that the chow fun did have a little more star anise/five spice flavor than I care for.

Hubby & I ate lunch at Mei Hon two days ago and we can't WAIT to go back for more! I had the Chicken Teriyaki & my husband had the Almond Chicken. We each started our meal with Egg Flower soup which came with freshly-made crispy noodles. Wonderful starter soup; not too salty (as can be the case sometimes at other places we've tried) piping hot and just the right amount of delicate celery pieces for texture. Next time, I'll order a BOWL of this soup...Yum! The Almond Chicken features water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, peas, carrots and of course, almonds. All ingredients danced together on the plate in perfect harmony. The bountiful serving included fried rice and egg roll. Perfectly cooked rice and the egg roll was crunchy on the outside, with a wonderful medley of veggies on the inside and came with the traditional egg roll dipping sauce. My Teriyaki Chicken was tender, cooked perfectly, and the silky Teriyaki sauce dressed it beautifully; all presented on the plate atop a circle of broccoli florets, with the same accompaniment of fried rice and egg roll. Now, I'm not a big fan of broccoli, but it was SO nicely cooked, I ate almost all of them. Why "almost?' Even though these were lunch dishes, the portions were such that we could only eat half at one sitting. After the soup and great meal portions, we were stuffed. No problem! Both meals were boxed up and now, we get to savor our delicious choices all over again. Know what else? Quincy Zhang is the Executive Chef here. We learned he was named one of the Top 100 Chinese Chefs in the United States at a competition held in Las Vegas a few years back. The certificate he was awarded at that competition was signed by Martin Yan, of 'Yan Can Cook' a VERY popular TV show that aired for many years. With talent like Quincy in the kitchen, we're looking forward to tasting the other delights offered at Mei Hon. The wait staff is courteous, and friendly, giving a warm welcome to customers coming in and to customers departing, a smile and heartfelt, "Thank you" They are also very knowledgeable about the menu; a big plus in my book. Give Mei Hon a try! They're located at 1030 E. Irvington Road, Tucson, AZ. read more

I received the noodles, the meal was hot and deliciously seasoned and garnished. This visit I received Singapore style noodles, cold, overcooked, very dry, unseasoned, and instead of garnishing with peanuts it was garnished with cilantro. I tried adding soy sauce just to get the clumps of dry noodles to separate. The noodles broke apart when I took a forkful. The proper noodles at my last visit were long flat and could be twirled like spaghetti. They were cooked properly and seasoned well , nice soupy noodles. Yesterday's noodles were the wrong ones for Thai noodles and so dry That I had to sprinkle soy sauce on them to get them to be edible. NOTE TO DAVID, MANAGER, FIND OUT WHO THE CHEF WAS YESTERDAY AT 5 O'CLOCK, AND HAVE HIM TRAIN WITH THE CHEF WHO PREPARED MY FIRST MEAL OF THAI NOODLES. My meal yesterday was unacceptable. The wasn't busy and we put our order in as soon as we sat down. My husband ordered soup, fried rice and a couple appetizers. The soup came out when my Thai noodle dish came out, but the rest order never came out. Finally, we went up to the register and asked them to take it off the bill , we paid and left. During our time there, the waitress only came to take the order and deliver it. Never came back to see how everything was. Training of kitchen staff and wait staff need to be addressed. They are serving inconsistent meals with inconsistent service. If you could advise me of the name of the first chef, I will be sure to return when he is working. His cooking of both our mea was so delicious. It made me want to come back yesterday. Unfortunately I did not receive the same meal at all. After my husband paid the waitress she disappeared into the kitchen before he could ask for a to go box. So he had to grab a large beverage cup with a cover as she didn't come out of the kitchen while he was standing there waiting. As I said, I would really love to return when the chef who prepared my first Thai noodle meal is back in the kitchen. Let me know his name so when I I can be sure he's working. Compare the two dishes in my photos.
