It's so lovely inside!!! There's so much merch and trinkets to look at and buy. The customer service was top tier. It was my first time here and I got a menu breakdown by the awesome cashier. It's a little pricy for what you get $10-12 for 6 dumplings... and they were good but not THAT good unfortunately. If you're around go for it and stop by but I'd definitely recommended going to Chinatown for some more affordable options that are just as good, if not, better. I got the ginger chicken steamed dumplings with some chili oil on the side. A little dry? I'm aware they aren't soup dumplings but maybe a better sauce would've sufficed. read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - Ginger chicken - Cooking Classes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place is dangerous!!! Irene Li (James Beard winner and the OG "little sister" aka mei mei) has created magic. From dumpling making classes, to easy-to-steam/fry/airfry frozen set, this place makes my little Asian heart so happy. A factory selling common Asian cooking items, this place brings smiles all around. Easy streetside free parking and indoor/outdoor dining options. Be sure to check out the free dumpling sauce recipes online as well as the beautiful instagram feed for updated hours. For the FOOD: I love being smacked in the face with flavor, making the lemongrass pork and ginger chicken dumplings my two favorites. The cheddar scallion potato and curried sweet potato dumplings have a subtler flavor profile but are also yummy. I just hosted a party and deep fried 3 bags of dumplings, which were a hit! read more

The dumpling making class was wonderful! The directions and pace of the class made it easy to follow and fun! Our instructor Agnes was so friendly and kind - I would highly recommend their classes! Not to mention the finished dumpling products were SO YUMMY! read more

Stopped by here for lunch with the kids. The staff is super friendly, and the food is amazing. We had the chicken dumplings, some deep fried, some pan fried. Both were great, the deep fried are crispier, the pan fried softer. I've also tried the potato and cheese dumplings, which are my favorite, and the double awesome, which is the best breakfast sandwich ever. The food comes out quickly. It is on the pricier side for lunch, around $15 for 8 dumplings, but I think it's well worth it for food this good. read more

I was walking back to the car after a successful spin class next door and stumbled upon Mei Mei Dumplings by accident. I stopped to look at their menu and decided to continue walking. Once I made it back to the car, I decided to walk back because I was incredibly hungry and who doesn't enjoy dumplings? I ordered "The Party", which is a sampler of 3 different dumplings they have on their menu and I was not disappointed. These dumplings were unlike any that I have tried before. I honestly don't have a favorite out of the three because they were all wonderful. The soy aioli complimented the dumplings well & pro tip: ask for spicy onion crisps and mix it in with the sauce... SO YUMS. read more

I love the GF mushroom dumplings so much. This is a really amazing woman owned company and I'm glad they exist.

What a fun time! I came here for the dumpling making class, and what a great time. They provide you with the materials, filling included, and they teach you 8 or so ways to make the dumplings. It's easy to follow too - there are tv screens projecting the steps, and someone else circulates to help too. You end the evening with cooking your finished product, and there are a few extra fun times in between - competition to be the fastest table to make a particular dumpling, volunteer to cook their dumplings up front, shout outs for birthdays, etc. we had. Our instructors/hosts were Caitlyn and Tina (I hope I got the spelling right), and they were amazing. Cute spot too, and clean - would love to come back here just to eat. read more

I've been for an all you can eat dumpling night and a dumpling making class and both were great!

It was my first time visiting Mei Mei. I was in the area and thought I should try it out! It's not too big and not too small. I like that you can see the kitchen in the back, and it looked like they were teaching a class or doing a tour while I was there. Cool!! It was super easy to order. You sit and wait for the food. I ordered the Dumpling Party, which is a sampler of Lemongrass pork, cheddar scallion potato, & 5 spice tofu mushroom dumplings. I like that it came with a little salad too! I liked them and surprising the cheddar scallion potato was my favorite. It reminded me of a pierogi. I would love to try more flavors on a future visit. read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - Sampler - Cooking Classes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Mei Mei Dumplings was a very nice clean restaurant takeout. They even have a special of $28.88 for bottomless dumplings if you eat in house during a certain timeframe. I ordered the lemongrass pork and the lamb dumplings, which reminded me of Momos. I really enjoyed these dumplings, but I wouldn't say they were traditional dumplings like soup, dumplings, or just pork and leek dumplings. But I really like the infrastructure here and it was very spacious. patio was nice. And you can get cocktails here. read more

Took a dumpling making class here - so fun!! In about 2 hours, you learn how to make several different shapes of dumplings, learn about the history of the business, get to actually cook your own dumplings, and mix your own sauces. Then you eat them! They have beer & cocktails to purchase and take-home dumplings as well. Super fun and awesome and engaging staff! read more

I popped into Mei Mei for the Double Awesome breakfast sandwich. It's made with two slow poached eggs, local greens pesto, Vermont cheddar, stuffed into a scallion pancake, with sriracha ketchup on the side. It is a real treat, and one you should seek out if you're spending time in Boston. I do recommend adding bacon, which they offer, because I felt it needed a little extra crunch. So good! read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - Cooking Classes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I took a dumpling class here on Sunday and had so much fun! Mei Mei is adorable inside and the class is very well done. We were a late signup so we added ourselves to the waitlist the week-of but then we got off of the waitlist the day before. I went with my mom and found it to be a great mother/daughter experience. The dumpling folding was fun and engaging. We ended up with some beautiful and unique dumplings that also tasted great. The only slight downsides to be aware of is that 1. the class is very fast paced and can feel a bit overwhelming at times and 2. there is no designated bartender so if you want to drink an alcoholic beverage then you have to ask one of the two dumpling instructors to find time to make you a drink. Overall, I think the class was great and worth the money. I'll probably be going back to order more dumplings from them in the future! read more

The dumplings are AMAZING. I highly recommend the lemongrass pork, and the cheddar scallion potato dumplings. We originally thought this was a restaurant with a menu you could order hot meals off of. We asked to see a menu and were informed they only had the cooler selection of to-go options that they could heat up for us. There is a large seating area meant for cooking classes and private events. I would love to try a dumpling making class here. Very cute little shop with an assortment of to go products like maple syrup, sauces, jewelry, and cute little stuffed animals. read more

We recently took a dumpling class with Caitlin and Alyssa. Caitlin was a excellent instructor and Alyssa was very helpful. What and fun way to spend an evening! The course was fantastic and the fruit of our labor was incredible. Both the Lemongrass Pork and Five Spice Tofu Mushroom fillings were delicious. We really enjoyed the snacks they provided and the beer/wine/sake/food that was available for purchase. A class at Mei Mei is a great group event or couples date night activity. I say Yeah Yeah to Mei Mei! read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - My dumpling folding skills on display. Prior to cooking. - Cooking Classes Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Wow just wow! I've heard great things about Mei Mei's and BOY were they right! The restaurant has a beautiful interior, with a large window to see your dumpling being folded by hand. I love that the menu is small but has enough items that you have choice even if you're a picky eater. Came here for a team lunch, to support a local, women and minority owned business and ordered various dumplings with scallion pancakes. The scallion pancakes are light, crispy and have no evidence of being greasy. I have the lemongrass pork dumplings (pan seared) and they were amazing. They were crispy yet soft and filled with a delicious pork filing. The dumpling came with a vibrant side salad, with colors that make you excited to eat. It was topped with crispy onion and a ginger dressing that I could drink. Even the sauces were great! (Highly suggest the aioli). I also bought some dumplings to go, which I'm going to try just steaming. I would give Mei Mei's 10 stars if I could! read more

Super fun time at Mei Mei! From my phone call to our arrival, we were treated to a very warm welcome from an engaging chef and staff. The dumplings and etc were delicious and we much enjoyed watching the noodle-making lesson happening at the adjacent tables. It is a unique experience and we look forward to our next visit to Mei Mei. ;+] read more

Went here with the family for a dumpling making class. Exceptionally clean, very well organized and terrific teachers. They had it arranged so everyone could see the instructor and there was personalized attention if needed. Very entertaining. We learned to make at least 9 different dumplings shapes. Vegan and meat choices. Super yummy. We then got a lesson in cooking them and got to eat them. Totally hands on and we all made about 18-20 dumplings. Plenty to take home. Highly recommend this woman owned business! It was a perfect day. read more

We did a dumpling class here. I don't enjoy cooking, but my niece wanted ro do the class, but I was pleasantly surprised. Rachel was super friendly and an excellent instructor. She was very calm, and made the class interesting and enjoyable. The dumplings were fun to make, easy to cook, and delicious to eat. I would absolutely recommend taking a class here. We made about a dozen dumplings each so either come hungry, or take them home for dinner! read more

I went to a cooking class in person at Mei Mei with my mom for her birthday and had a blast! Can't recommend it enough for a date night, group outing with friends, or solo activity. It's a two-hour class. They give you fillings (our options were lemongrass pork and five spice tofu) and wrappers and teach you how to fold and cook lots of different fun shapes. They also gave us snacks and drinks during the class, sauce to eat the dumplings with, and recipe cards to take home. Our teachers, Caitlin and Rachel, were very fun and helpful! We wound up with lots of dumplings to take home, a new skill, and fun memories. read more

Awesome dumplings! Had the dumpling party which was 2x of each dumpling (pork and lemongrass, five spice tofu and mushroom, my personal fav, and potato and cheddar). Each had its own dipping sauce. These dumplings are huge, twice the size of dumplings I make! They were also deep fried, giving some added crunch. Not to be overlooked, it was paired with a delicious salad with greens, pickled red cabbage, and lots of deep fried shallots (yum). Friend had the scallion pancake sandwich and he couldn't stop talking about how good the scallion pancake was! Dumplings were so fabulous I took home a few packages. Check it out, really enjoyed everything! read more

I've been a fan of Chef Irene Li for a while and had purchased Mei Mei dumplings from different pop-up markets. However, when I saw the Double Awesome sandwich in one of their stories, I knew I had to have it. I made my way to their cute little restaurant in South Boston and I'm so happy to share it was an amazing experience. Let me quickly start by saying the double awesome was everything I was expecting it to be and more. The scallion pancakes were savory and the eggs were cooked perfectly to keep the gooeyness of the yolk. The bacon was crunchy but not super oily. The side salad was amazing, the only issue is there was no more of it (it's so good it's never enough). They also had a variety of delicious sauces available. The food was made quickly and the service was very good. Everyone at the restaurant seemed to be having a good time. Since I live a bit farther away from the location, it's very convenient that they extended their hours some days to 8pm. I'll definitely be back and bring my friends with me. read more

Mei Mei has fantastic dumplings. I really love the lemongrass pork and the cheeseburger dumplings. We also ordered the potato and the curry sweet potato. My friends and I forgot to take a pic until nearly all of the dumplings were gone lol. The server informed up that we could find mei mei dumplings at grocery stores. I'm gonna have to be on the look out for those! read more

Such a great add to the neighborhood! Food: had the curry sweet potato dumplings, fried, which were great- 5 big dumplings with a yummy simple side salad and dipping sauces. Recommend getting the aioli and sriracha Atmosphere: bright, open space and already bustling with people! To go: quick and easy, I waited about 5-10 min for food to be ready. Well packaged but if you live farther away I imagine the dumplings could get really soggy Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in here after a workout and was not disappointed! I had the scallion pancake grilled cheese app and a dumpling combo. Food was amazing and I really like the chili oil as a dipping sauce. I would really like to come back for a cooking class! The space feels urban and tidy, seemed like a spot people pop into for a quick bite! Your order at a counter and food brought over to you. They also have a little selection of alcohol bevys which is a nice touch! Would return for more dumplings! read more

Their vegan five spice tofu dumplings are delicious! The skin is on the thicker side, but the filling is flavorful and the ginger soy sauce that comes with compliments things nicely. They are only doing evening take out of frozen dumplings right now with limited hours, and are at farmers markets selling frozen dumplings only. Hope they come back soon with their full menu, as I remember everything being super delicious. Staff is very nice, highly recommend supporting this small business! read more

Last year at the farmers market, Mimi's dumplings were for sale there. They A vegan dumpling with mushrooms and tofu, that was really delicious. And this year I was told that they have a gluten-free version as well but they didn't come back to the market or skip the time that I was there, so I never actually tried the gluten-free, but they are delicious Easy to cook, & a little pricey for what they are but everything 's pricing now so can I complain not really. As a treat I would definitely recommend. read more

The ambience is like a clean fast-casual place. The service is counter, and everyone was quite nice. The food came out reasonably quickly. The food itself is good--I had the dumpling platter with the three different types of dumplings. I think the cost is a bit high for what you get, though some of that is undoubtedly that I was first exposed to Mei Mei via a food truck where they didn't have the same kind of rent to cover. I'd say this is a 3.5 in my book, but I rounded up. read more
