Great noodle dish with adequate portions. Ambiance is simple and sparse, but the food was solid! read more

Mei's Kitchen - Yi Bin Burning Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Came here after reading an article in ADN, was excited to try a dish that had been mentioned Noodle Salad. Sadly, that dish had been removed from the menu but after talking to the sweet staff they suggested the YiBin Burning Noodles. Stating it was one of the more unique style dishes on town. They weren't wrong, with the mouth numbing Sichaun pepper and plenty of fried garlic it was a a wonderful dish with a scaling heat options. Im excited to come back and try it again with a meat based topping that looked great in their photos. read more

Ordered here for the first time to go.. spicy chicken curry. It's pretty good! But I think the price was pretty steep for what I got. The pieces of chicken were tiny.... Probably won't come back ): read more

Mei's Kitchen is a hidden gem that deserves way more recognition. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. Every dish tastes like it came straight from someone's home kitchen.. comforting, generous, and perfectly seasoned. The staff is kind, patient, and always happy to help with recommendations or modifications. You can tell they actually care about the food and the customers. The ambience is cozy and no-frills in the best way. clean, welcoming, and relaxed. It's the kind of place you can sit down and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed or crowded.

We arrived in town later than expected due to weather, and this is one of the few places that was still open (10:30 pm), so we walked in just to get anything. I got a house chow mien, which was quite good. My friend got a spicy shrimp noodle, and she really liked it too. I'm definitely curious about their other items on the menu; will plan on visiting again soon. read more

I have been her at least three times now and have only tried the five spice beef rice noodle soup. It is just so good, I can't bring myself to try anything else. It is better than the best pho in town you know. Trust me on this. I vow to try the braised beef noodle soup next time though. They package the noodles separately and they are so different in a nice way from other rice noodles in your typical pho. These are round like a spaghetti noodle and taste fresh. They also package the other ingredients, scallions, etc separately. They know I like spice so they give me a container of their home made chili sauce to spice the soup up however I want. It truly is the best soup in town except maybe the braised beef which I have yet to try, The first time I went there for it and it was such a popular item it was sold out so that is how I fell into the rut of always getting the five spice soup. This is definitely more of a take out place, small hole in the wall. Conveniently located in mid town and oh so good. They are also very prompt and right on the mark with pick up times. read more

Mei's Kitchen - The best soup in town. Five spice beef noodle. Yummy. Trust me i am a soup aficionado. - Chinese Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Delish! Egg rolls, dumplings, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and hot/spicy beef. All were excellent!

Another hidden gem in Spenard! Family owned, and amazing! Super low key but the food is just fantastic!! Every dish is made to order, spices and all!!! read more

Came here after work to try some of the new menu items The chicken wings were good. Some of the wings didn't get a good crisp on them but the flavor was still good The Hot and spicy beef is my go-to it always hits the spot. Asked for extra spicy this time ( I usually get med or regular hot ) and the spice was more than I was expecting but still good Five Spice beef Soup is another go-to menu item (All the soups are good) five spice was present but I maybe couldn't taste it too well because I ate this after the hot and spicy beef. Still hit the spot of a snowy spring day Spicy Garlic mussels were probably my least favorite thing I ate. The mussels were cold and I didn't taste any spice mostly garlic Overall still one of my favorite spots And be patient it's two people running the whole thing, still got my food out promptly! Overall enjoyed the food and the little hole-in-the-wall vibe it had. read more

First I have never liked Pho restaurants. My friend dragged me there. This place was awesome. Big bowl with lots of lean beef(no gristle, never seen a chef remove all gristle ), fresh broccoli, scallions, bokchoy. Separate bowl of white rice. Further spicy MEDIUM was hot enough to make my hair sweat. PERFECT!!! I don't recommend any hotter. All for $19.50, olden days expensive,not anymore and the bowl was loaded with REAL healthy food. Service was excellent and friendly.ambience was plain, table chairs and that's all. However I'm going back. Large portions of healthy food in Anchorage don't seem to exist anymore; well one is back...gotta keep this new restaurant alive. 5 stars because I work for a living and don't care 1 bit about ambience. Oh we both ordered water and waiter wasn't phased at all-still friendly and chatty. read more

Fantastic food and service. Very friendly and quick. Everything was and is fresh homemade I think one of the best shrimp fried rice I've had in town! read more

I recommend this business the food is so good and the recent renovation has left the restaurant with an open relaxing sitting situation. The waiters are very nice as well. The fruit drinks are very good! read more

Very good food. Speedy service. Cheerful personel and reasonable price. I have been going there for about a year and plan to continue

Tried the 5 spice soup with spiced beef. It was...ok. The broth was good but the meat was tough. It had broccoli and cabbage in the soup which I didn't mind. Not bad but nothing I would go out of the way for. read more

I hesitated to write this review but thought, "Some other family shouldn't waste their hard-earned money." A co-worker recommended Mei's kitchen to me; she said, "It was the best." I should have asked, "Compared to what?" I ordered the ginger seafood rice noodle soup, hot and spicy beef, curry chicken, egg rolls, and chicken wings. I was eagerly excited since I had only had Chinese food once since living in Anchorage. I was asked to pay over the phone since it was a large order, which I was agreeable to. Once I arrived, a very lovely man greeted me; we had a little banter about the increased cost of soda; he gave me a sample of their plum tea (VERY good, by the way), and I headed home. On to the food: the curry chicken was inedible; it tasted horrible and looked even worse. (What was I thinking about ordering curry from a Chinese restaurant anyway? The hot and spicy beef almost didn't look like beef and had no spice, although I did ask for mild spice. The shrimp fried rice had peas and carrots in it, which I do not prefer, but although it was edible, it lacked flavor and the "fried" component. The egg rolls were just not good at all, the chicken wings were decent (my husband and I did eat all of them), and last, the ginger seafood rice noodle bowl, despite me not trying it, my husband said it was good, and it did have a good variety of seafood. To sum it up, I will not be returning to Mei's Kitchen, but the customer service was good, and "hey," maybe there are some menu items I didn't try that are good. read more
