I really like the dumplings here. The wait time is not that long and the ambience is very bright and welcoming.

A must stop! Delicious dumplings that will make you lick your chopsticks. We've ordered almost everything dumpling and each one was oversized and scrumptious. We definitely recommend and will be back Ps. Ask for extra napkins as the juice is plentiful read more

Do not let the high reviews this place has fool you, I had been waiting to try this place for some time as I work in the area and after eating here for lunch I was like "HOW IS THIS PLACE 4.7 STARS?" So here is my honest review, prices are good in that "right near a collage campus" affordable type of way but the food really quickly shows you why the price is what it is. We had several dumplings, the siu mai, wagyu dumplings, XLBs and chili wontons. The XLBs were the only decent thing. The chili wontons had no chili, the wagyu dumplings were over steamed and falling apart and the siu mai was nothing special. We also got the scallion noodles with beef and there were no scallions just scallion oil and it was SUPER bland, tried adding soy sauce and vinegar and chili oil we asked for just to try and make it taste like something. I'm also not sure what type of beef they put in top but it was hard to eat. The only thing I did like was the cucumber salad. Definitely not a place I would come back to. Definitely no idea what the high ratings are about. read more

We have walk by this place since it opened and have wanted to try it but we just never got around to trying it. So we finally stopped in today and we were happy that we did. Very clean inside and got our food quickly. We came in for lunch and it got pretty busy after we arrived. Here is what we got: - cucumber salad, which was very good - steamed pork buns, which we really liked - scallion noodles, which were ok and had a nice chewy texture -pork and shrimp dumplings, which were also good We got the free custard dumplings - that was the only thing I didn't like but my partner really liked them. read more

Meimei Dumpling absolutely delivers. The beef noodle soup is incredibly clean and comforting--almost reminds me of a pho-style broth, light but still full of flavor. The beef is super tender, and the noodles have that perfect QQ chewiness that makes every bite satisfying. The dumplings are clearly handmade, with wrappers that hit the sweet spot--not too thick, not too thin--and packed with juicy filling. You can really taste the quality. Highly recommend the Wagyu dumplings--they're rich, flavorful, and totally worth it. Definitely coming back! read more

Not bad but definitely could be better! I think if you come here, definitely go for their boiled dumplings over the soup dumplings. I really enjoyed their boiled wagyu beef dumplings! Very flavorful with tons of beef. The chicken & corn one was pretty good as well. However, the soup dumplings weren't very soupy and not the best. The meat sauce over rice was super tasty as well, but unfortunately we found a hair in it. I also enjoyed the cucumber salad which was really addicting and refreshing. The chili oil wontons were just okay; good flavor but there wasn't chili oil on it. Beef noodle soup was on the saltier side but not bad. We came about an hour before closing but everyone was still very accommodating and nice! The place itself was very clean and bright. I'd love to come back for the boiled dumplings and give em another chance! read more

Saw the high ratings at this place, so I decided to give it a try but was really disappointed. I also saw they had a sign on the tables saying if you leave a good review, they give you free lava custard buns. So it's a gimmick. Service was good though. Beef noodle soup was small portioned & bland, the beef was tender though. Xiao long bao was plain and not juicy. Beef dumplings were bland and the spicy won tons sauce was salty. Cucumber salad is decent. read more

This place is definitely my new hyper fixation! I am HELLA obsessed with their Siumai! Like hella! The amount of shrimp & meat and the quality. Chefs kiss! It comes with 3 pieces but they are hugeeee and I feel full. This and a side of their cucumber salad. YUM. A perfect lunch! I also really liked their wonton noodle soup but the portions are too big for me. read more

Was a bit suspicious about the high rating for this restaurant as I saw some folks with no or minimal past reviews leaving 5-star ratings for this place. Came here on a rainy day and saw that they offer a free lava bun if you give them a good review. Was that one of the reasons why they currently have a 4.8 rating on Yelp? My hubby and I still both tried their beef noodle soup and were disappointed that it didn't appear like in the past photos. The portion was significantly smaller, the beef was too fatty and I had to "search" the bowl for three small pieces of bok choy. So be warned! read more

What a find! Whenever I come to the South Bay I crave dumplings. Tried Meimei Dumplings for the 1st time and very much enjoyed it. The soup dumplings were my favorite. I also enjoyed the cucumber salad on this warm evening. I also tried the pork buns. They were 'just okay" for me. The ladies at the counter were nice and attentive. I recommend trying this place. It's a small restaurant. Maybe 20 people max can sit in to eat. Give it a try. read more

Came here on a rainy day and was perfect. I did a dine in order and take out for later. Service was friendly and fast. I took my time eating and didn't feel rushed. They came with ice cold water. The dumplings had good dough to filling ratio. The waygu beef was tender and not chewy. I wasn't a huge fan of the chili wonton - it wasn't as spicy so I did have to ask for extra chili. However all in all a great experience and fulfilling for the dumplings cravings read more

Great time at MeiMei Dumpling! MeiMei's located inside the Paseo walk near the Hammer Theater. The pricing is pretty decent, I got the Jumbo Wonton Noodle Soup which had 6 pieces in it for about $13. The service was pretty efficient, getting my order out within 7-10 minutes. I had ordered my soup without reading the description and later realized that it had shrimp in it which is something I can't have. I told one of the employees and they politely went into the back, spoke with the chef and fixed the problem. The soup itself was delicious. They provide you with two sauce packets, one spicy, the other one im not sure, but I added both to my soup and both packets complimented the soup and made it taste better. It was served pretty hot and the overall soup was delicious. I'll be coming here again soon. read more

The location is in the walkway between third and fourth streets. They mentioned that they get a lot of sun during part of the day so they have reflective glass which made us unsure if they were open. They were. The location has plenty of places to sit. But was a little warm and stuffy inside so we intended to just get our food to go. Girl at the counter was nice. The wait for our food was longer than expected and cost more than we'd expect for the small quantity of pieces that came with our order. The har gow were pastier than we've ever had before. Which worried us a bit. Soup dumplings were ok. Cucumber salad was fresh but lacking in flavor. All in all it was fine, but we've had better dim sum for less effort with parking, price, etc. read more

Came here for a quick bite and was seriously impressed. The food is simple, comforting, and done right. We started with the dumplings and they were the highlight -- soft, delicate wrappers with a juicy filling, and they tasted super fresh. The dipping sauce paired perfectly and brought everything together. We also tried a bowl of noodle soup with bone-in meat, and it was exactly what you want on a chilly day: warm, light but flavorful broth, and chewy noodles that didn't get soggy. To finish, we ordered the steamed buns and they were fluffy, hot, and satisfying -- perfect to share. The place had a clean, casual feel and the food came out looking just like the menu photos. If you're craving comfort food (dumplings/noodles/buns), this spot is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back. Service was excellent and friendly read more

Good food all around! We had marinated beef, beef noodle soup, xiao long bao, and siu mai. The beef noodle soup was delicious. Strong beef flavor with melt-in-your-mouth-tender meat. Noodle was al dente which was surprising but not bad. Would get again. Xiao long bao was good with tasty broth. Slightly tangy so I didn't need extra vinegar. Shrimp siu mai was surprisingly amazing. Big chunk of meat with lots of shrimp added on top. A small dip in the soy sauce was all that needed. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the service was quick and pleasant. read more

I found a local and convient dumpling and noodles place and it was pretty tasty. I like the texture of the dumplings and noodles, they were thick and chewy to the right degree. I recommend their dumplings for sure! The scallion noodles with beef doesn't have much flavor to it, and my beef was cold, but I'm not sure if it is meant to be cold. One of my lava custurd came without a paper and it stuck to the pan...but flavor is good. Service was polite, given that they seem new to the job. I like the lighting and decor on the inside. The windows on the outside looks blacked out but it creates great shading on the inside so it is not hot. read more
