    Amazing service. The food combo is choose is well put together. Will be coming back again. THANK YOU!

    Cream Cheese Rangoons
    Melody C.

    Average Chinese food. When I was younger, I really enjoyed Mei Wei for their family combo meals. However, when I decided to revisit after seeing all the Tik-Tok hype, I'm sad to say that I was disappointed. For takeout, I ordered the Garlic Chicken combination plate and the Cream Cheese Rangoons. I was really underwhelmed with everything. The Garlic Chicken was not really garlicky at all. It also seemed to have been over cooked. It was incredibly stringy and dry when I bit into each piece. The pieces were almost grainy. The chow mein was only good when combined with the sauce coating the chicken. The Rangoons were alright. They were pretty filled with cream cheese but the fried wrapper was very oily. I'm really hoping this was just a one-off bad experience since the food used to be good, but I definitely wasn't satisfied with my meal this time around. This is a small restaurant so in the evenings especially, it can get busy. If you want to do take-out, call ahead much earlier than when you plan to arrive. If not, you'll be waiting for a while inside as they cater towards the dine-in crowd. I hope next time is better!

    Was recommended to Mei Wei as I was craving Chinese food so badly and had yet to find a good spot here in Modesto. We placed an order for pick up and were quoted 20 minutes. We arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes later and everything was ready to go. The inside is pretty small but they were turning tables quickly for a Saturday night and everything seemed to be going smoothly. On the way home our car smelled amazing and we were so excited to get home and eat! Everything was very tasty and we will definitely be back to try more things. Our order included cream cheese wontons, house fried rice, house chow mein, broccoli beef, and chicken with two kinds of mushroom. The portions were huge and we had enough for complete meals 3 times over!

    Delicious!! We had dinner combo plates and they really added tons of food. I ate half and took the rest to go. The staff is super nice and attentive. The place is small but clean... definitely will be returning to taste other dishes.

    We've been here at least close to 10 times now each and every time the staff is very welcoming and hospitable. Atmosphere is more like we are family versus customers . We are always seated promptly and orders are taken just at the right time . Our food has always been consistently delicious also . Today we ordered the orange chicken lunch and I tried their yellow chicken curry lunch both really good and their egg flower soup is really good too . Highly recommend this place for a lunch or dinner date or family outing they also do large trays for catering family get together or business luncheon . Today I was given a free gift from them it was such a special surprise I love hello kitty .

    Woh Wonton soup
    Tony J.

    This is my 3rd time eating here. Fast friendly service each time. The food is delicious and abundant. Today was the perfect time to try their Woh Wonton soup. Really tasty with a clear broth. The best I've had in this area. I ordered the regular size bowl, but will order the large next time because it's that good. Highly recommend Mei Wei. Prices are fair too.

    Potstickers

    Beef chow fun
    Monique M.

    Came here for the first time for dinner and ordered takeout. We had 6 different items that were prepared fresh and ready in about 15-20 minutes. The staff was great. Very kind and friendly. The prices for the amount of food was great. They also infused some free potstickers for the amount of food we ordered which was very generous. The food was good and fresh. It was better than going to your typical panda express and we didn't have to wait much longer. I'd say its worth coming here.

    Mongolian beef, NOTHING like the picture outside their window but (YUMMMMMEEEEE). Sweet and SPICY

    The best Chinese food I've ever had! I had the Garlic Chicken combo meal. It comes with an egg roll and 1 fried shrimp.

    Came to Dynasty Garden after doing a quick "dim sum" search in Modesto. I had been craving dim sum…read morefor some time and since we were in town, I figured why not try somewhere new to me? Walking in on a Saturday afternoon (it was almost 3PM when we entered), you're met with a check-in counter. The inside is decorated much like a typical Chinese restaurant: round tables w a lazy susan, dark moody carpet, and infrastructure/roof tiling on the back wall that makes it look like we're dining right outside a traditional cafe in China. We were quickly seated and brought a regular menu and a dim sum menu. I liked that the dim sum menu contained pictures for easy point and order. But instead of pointing like a normal person, I brought out my broken Canto to order and I think I impressed uncle enough to get a complimentary bowl of egg flower soup lol. We ended up ordering: - Orange chicken lunch special: this comes with white rice or you can upgrade to fried rice or chow mein for an extra dollar. SO upgraded to chow mein and the plate that came out was HUGE. Was not expecting such a large portion, but I am not complaining at all. The chicken was sauced perfectly and he said the noodles were aight. - Ha gow (shrimp dumpling): these had thicker wrapping, but the dumplings themselves were stuffed. Good flavor - Shu mai (pork and shrimp dumpling): meaty, yummy. The skins sorta stuck to the bottom container though - Fong zhao (chicken feet): super delicious, but only came with 3 measly claws - Ham sui gok (fried glutinous rice pork dumpling): fried mochi goodness with delicious meat filling (even if the filling was a little sparse) - Gou choy gow (chive dumpling): my personal favorite dim sum dish; the one here was not my favorite, but it did its job. - Salt and pepper pork spareribs: we ordered this as an alternative when they told me they were out of their pineapple custard bun (bolo bao)... don't ask me how I went from dessert to this, but I liked it. The meat was kinda thin, but the flavor was there. We happened to have our meal right when the staff was having theirs right behind us. So by the time we were ready for the check, we kind of sat around waiting for someone to check on us. Our total came to about $60. I noticed that 2 of the dim sum dishes were marked as "large", at about $6.10 per dish. I wish this was posted on the dim sum menu somewhere... I only saw the $5.50 price tag. Overall, Dynasty Garden nostalgically reminds me of home, so I would definitely return.

    You would never think that a town like Hughson would have a great sushi place like the Hughson…read moreAsian Kitchen! The restaurant is nestled in the cute downtown area of Hughson, their main street. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff and seated right away. We were there on a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, but the restaurant was packed with customers. The menu has an extensive selection of Chinese and Japanese dishes. I had the Bruce Li roll which had tempura shrimp topped with crab meat, salmon, tuna, spicy mayo and unagi sauce. I also 2 pieces of the Hamachi (yellowtail), miso soup, and spicy edamame. The fish was some of the freshest I've ever had - flavorful, definitely sushi grade, and I could tell that it also wasn't previously frozen due to the color and texture. The miso soup and the spicy edamame were well-seasoned and delicious. My nephew had a combination plate with orange chicken, broccoli beef, and chicken fried rice. One thing to note that was really nice is that the restaurant allows you to create your own combination plates, they're not set items with no substitutions. When our waitress brought my nephew's combo plate, the food looked freshly cooked and delicious! He ate every bite! If you're ever in Hughson, try the Hughson Asian Kitchen - the friendly staff and tasty food won't disappoint!

    I was born and raised on going to get chow mein after church. This is by far one of the best spots…read moreif not the best in the valley for flavor, texture and consistency. They have the BEST sweet and sour chicken i've ever had; never a bad piece and always the best flavor. You would be shocked to see sushi on the menu until you see the chef who is a master of his craft. I've tried most the rolls and am never disappointed in flavor, freshness or presentation. Easily placing the sushi here as good if not better than osaka. I put my pops onto this spot and i now can finally close our ever lasting debate of who has the best chow mein in the 209/Valley.

    Had lunch here while working in Modesto because it was nearby my location. Pretty disappointing…read moreChinese but the price for the amount of food was great. We called in an order for pick up, when I got there 15 minutes later it was ready and waiting. The 2 combo plates probably weighed 4 lbs in the bag. I honestly have no idea but it was hefty. The gentleman who helped me was also very nice and prompt. Unfortunately, the food was pretty lackluster. My orange chicken was miles away from crispy and the sauce was kind of bland. Also the chicken itself had that gross old chicken flavor that usually only comes from reheated chicken. The chow mein was also pretty bland. They did give chili sauce and soy sauce with the order, and adding those 2 things in spades did help with the lack of flavor. The cheese puffs were also disappointing. There was a good amount of crab in them, which is unusual for cheese puffs, however, the wrapper was thick and not crispy at all, mostly chewy, so all the enjoyable texture you expect wasn't there. My spouse had a combo with fried rice, beef & broccoli, and fried prawns. He liked it well enough but agreed it was pretty mediocre. The fried rice was pretty good but the beef & broccoli left a lot to be desired. In spite of the so so food, it's such a great price that it may be worth it to you. If you need a lot of food for not a lot of money, and you don't have high quality standards, this place will definitely take care of you.
