Good food, nice restaurant. Prices very good, went during the day so I couldn't speak for the atmosphere. Staff very pleasant and attentive, would go again next time I am in Liverpool. read more

Dim sum are nice - but order them separately, the dim sum package contains mainly fried items. Main dishes are tasty; braised aubergine was particularly nice. Ambience is a bit more upmarket then other nearby options. Service is very good! read more

Great option for dim sum. All the plates we ordered were tasty and nicely presented. Not oily and not soggy which you see in some dum sim spots. Service was good and fast. We came in a big table of 9 and were seated in no time. We ordered like 40 plates and we finished everything. A testament for the great food. Clean and bright ambiance is a plus. read more

As someone who is frequently spoiled by the excessive Asian food options, living in the U.K. has been a major adjustment for me. Not necessarily lowering my expectations, just adjusting it to the flavor palettes here. I'm only in Liverpool as a short stop to my intended destination, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there is a Chinatown here! Surely there must be some decent Chinese food?! Any place you go that has Asians flocking to that spot, it's usually good! This place did not disappoint. As far as rice rolls go, they have so many options that I've never even heard of back home. Then you've got your standard steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, and other special menu items like tripe, chicken feet, etc. I got the BBQ pork rice rolls, chicken feet, spare ribs in black bean sauce, and the honeycomb intestines (?). All were very good. Might even be better than back in California. I did ask for soy sauce, Chinese mustard, and satay sauce--the usual condiments that I'd get back home. They were confused and gave me sweet and sour sauce instead. They did ask me to leave tip, not sure what that was about. I've never been asked to do that here as I voluntarily give it for good service anyway. All in all, it satisfied my cravings. If I'm ever in Liverpool, I'd pop back into this spot. read more

Mei Mei - Chinese Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

Mei Mei is a top class Chinese restaurant in Liverpool and is up there with the best along with the likes of Chung Ku and Tai Pan. Some of the reasons for this include the décor which is elegantly designed, there are many local Chinese that dine here and the food delivers great standards. All of these factors of course contribute to its popularity, making a name for itself in Chinatown as it does well to compete with other similar restaurants. There are many choices the menu has to offer and you will usually find the restaurant buzzing with customers during lunchtime as they tuck into some delicious Dim Sum. If you are unsure what to order, waiters/waitresses are always happy to help you choose otherwise there is the option of selecting a Dim Sum combination for a set price of £8 per person. The prices for most dishes are actually quite expensive, if not the most expensive around Liverpool so no reason to feel ripped off as you should expect to spend at least £10 alone (easily more) for a good quality meal remember. That has to be the only catch but if you're out to celebrate a special occasion or just fancy a little treat, then you can't go wrong with Mei Mei's food. The only issue for me, is value for money. read more

Mei Mei - Chinese Near Me - Liverpool, XMS

Liverpool has one of the oldest and largest Chinese communities in Europe, dating from the 1830s. It's still going strong and, unsurprisingly, one of the mainstays of the Chinatown, centered around Nelson Street, is the restaurant trade. The choice is intimidatingly large, so browse around and take your pick. Mei Mei is relative newcomer, having opened in its present guise in 2004. Set on two levels, the interior is spacious and bright, although the decor of the upstairs room is a bit lacking in atmosphere. Although it seemed to have a wide range of clientele on our visit, it's more suited to a business or group meal than a romantic meal for two (or conversely anyone looking for somewhere very traditional and cosy, or cheap and basic). The compensation is that the food is a cut above your average Chinese, with no sign of MSG and an interesting and diverse menu. You pay a little extra for this - expect two courses with beer or wine to come to around £25 a head. Choices include both Cantonese and Sechuan cuisine. The vegetarian choice is much wider than your average Chinese, but it is the Dim Sum which most people recommend here. It's popular with local Chinese people, and a regular party venue for the various Chinese Business Associations, so I guess that's as good a recommendation as any. Service is fast and efficient, although - oddly, I thought - you'll have to ask if you prefer to use chopsticks rather than the Western cutlery you are given as standard. But overall, a safe bet for a reasonably-priced meal out. read more

Oh Mei Mei what good word of mouth you have!!! This is amongst the best Chinese eateries in town fo sho!! Ok so it isn't smack bang in the centre of town but not far away either (5 minute walk, few minutes with a cabby) Chinese culture with the karaoke bars and restaurants is proud of its cheese and here it is no different. The waiters are armed with these musical remote devices which come to life with cheesy music upon readiness of their tables grub. Reminds me of the canteen at Loughborough University. Happy days!! I have heard mixed reviews about the service although the quality of the food has seldom been questioned. I thought the service was immaculate. One of the best Chinese grub options in the city for sure and a must visit in my book. read more

As a group we used to choose this restaurant all the time. However the last time we went there we asked for the bill to be itemised. Something, which they can't do!? The reason we had asked for it to be itemised is that we had heard through other friends that had eaten there they were adding extras to the bill. So they took the bill away tip-exed the total and made it £10 lower.... That sounds very odd to me. I mentioned this to someone else and they too had heard the same thing bout them over charging on the bill. On this occasion too they also spilt a drink (or soup perhaps?) on the table and didn't bother to apologise. The food is decent but what's the point going somewhere that tries to overcharge you and refuses to give you an itemised bill. read more

Sometimes you just want some tasty Chinese. It might be selfish, but if you're craving some darn good takeaway you might just be in that 'me me' kind of mood. Well, the name kind of reflects that, in a dumb me-trying-to-connect-anecdotes-up way, but still, I'd heard great things about Mei Mei and I was determined to try it out. This is a busy place, so its popularity speaks volumes. The ambience is a bit odd, it doesn't perhaps feel like it's the best designed restaurant in the city but it's certainly got some of the best food. The fact that Chinese families do eat in here is a reassuring sign and the food is fresh, certainly far from a lot of the greasy soggy MSG-ridden stuff you get in some places. It's not the cheapest place in Liverpool, but for a quick treat, it does the job. read more

Probably my favourite Chinese restaurant in Liverpool, as stated above the vegetarian options are great and you do see lots of Chinese people in there which always is a great recommendation I think. It's a large restaurant with a big upstairs, we've never booked, it's always been busy but at the same time we've never been refused a table, although we've waited a few minutes. Food is great, staff friendly - a good choice read more

We discovered this restaurant after walking back to town following an abortive search of official China town for an attractive restaurant. Liverpool China town really needs to pull its socks up! We spotted a chinese family entering so that was the only advertising we needed. My sister and I shared half a dozen dim sum. Every one was perfect. We revisited the following week, a mixed menu selected this time because of the man of the family ;) again delightful. The staff are lovely if a little slow, the clientele have mostly been chinese (lunchtime) and represent the type of customer we prefer to follow. read more

Found Mei Mei while wandering around Liverpool looking for a Chinese. Staff were friendly as soon as we walked in and sat us down to wait for a table. From the start it seemed an appealing venue. Nice open layout, decor was up to date, light and airy. All the tables were filled on a Wednesday evening! Was very impressed with that. My family and I have some dietary restrictions, some problems with dairy and prawn. The poor waitress was a little unsure of herself when we were asking about these things and the menu choices we were looking at, but she went to the kitchen to check and then got her supervisor to speak to us. He was upfront about the bits he was sure about and not sure about. They couldn't guarantee no milk in the batter on the orange duck. We made our choices and the food was overall very good. You can tell a restaurant has done well when there's just silence for a while after food arrival! A shame they couldn't be certain about some parts of the meals which come pre-prepared like the batter, but we really enjoyed our meal and staff were lovely. read more

Absolutely wonderful Chinese restaurant! This very popular restaurant provides excellent food at excellent quality. Based slightly out from the main city centre, (but within 5 minutes walking distance and even quicker by taxi), and close to the Liverpool's major bars and clubs scene. The waiters carry musical remote devices which play cheesy music when their table's food is ready for collection at the kitchen. Only problem was that the food order got mixed up on my last visit, but the food was great anyway. read more

They serve really good and true traditional Chinese fair - hence the five stars. I'd say their food is even more true-to-form Chinese fair than Tai Pan as the dishes do not seem to have been in any way tinkered to cater for the Western taste bud. I know many people of the local Chinese community go there to eat and on many a weekend you'll see the restaurant is just chock full of Chinese people - which is a good sign if you're looking for a restaurant that only serves authentic Chinese food. However if this sort of palette is not your thing, you will find many of the things on the menu either strange or just off-putting. Unfortunately this is the case with me, hence I don't eat there often. read more

Mei Mei is an excellent restaurant, with outstanding food and great service! Best Chinese Restaurant in Liverpool, England! I highly recommend to everyone to go there, the Steak Rolls there are must. also I highly recommend to try the outstanding off-the bone duck! read more

Best Chinese restaurant in Liverpool! Not aware of overcharging at all - they never overcharged us!? I think it's actually a cheap restaurant - it's not a take away at the end of the day. We paid roughly about 8£ each - which is cheap compared to other (proper) restaurants. You get one average Dim Sum dish for about 3£. We had 7 dishes between us (3 people) plus green tea. I don't know about the non-dim dum dishes (e.g. sweet sour chicken, prawn crackers...take-away-style chinese)..if that's what you want you shouldn't waste your money going to mei mei anyway- this is a proper dim sum restaurant and you might be better off going to your usual chippy if you want the usual stuff... read more

well what a bad experience me and my family had in the mei mei today , it was my daughters 5th birthday and my wife and i decided to take her to town and spoil her with some gifts and a nice chinese meal as chinese is her favourite however when we arrived and were promptly seated we then went on to wait 50 minutes for our starters which still never arrived ,i then kindly asked the waitress how long they would be which she said they were on there way alas they never came and we waited and waited ....until we had enough and said we were leaving after an hour ,they then said they were sorry but our tickets had been mixed up ,sorry thats not good enough and to top it off they still charged us for the drinks we had whilst waiting for our food ,what a cheek i will never go there again i cant say the food was bad because we never got the chance to sample it but the service was criminal and it ruined our day and my little girl was still hungry when we left read more
