    Dongpo Pork Belly with Buns with chicken feet
    David X.

    Great hidden gem. The place specializes in Chinese Duck and the menu shows. Never had Meizhou style still but it was a treat with friends. Definitely recommend getting the roast duck family style with rice and noodles. The place is pretty clean and usually seating is available. The place mainly gets the bulk of its income from takeout and delivery. There have also been times where the nice lady gives me a few bonus appetizers if it's pretty late.

    We were finally able to dine in in this restaurant in person. There is a private parking lot which is great! The interior is very simple. Looks it was an office building before. We had ordered the same dishes we had in the past - Meizhou Pork Fried Rice and Dan Dan Noodles. The food still tastes the same and great flavor as usual. Good customer service too.

    I found this restaurant on Yelp. I stopped by for dinner. The restaurant is easy to find with plenty of parking. The inside of the restaurant is nice. The tables have a pullout drawer where the staff pulls out napkins and utensils. The waitress gave me a couple of minutes to look at the menu. I ordered the sichuan dumplings and the chicken potstickers. The sichuan dumplings were good. The sauce had a great flavor. It was smoky and tasted like mole to me. The chicken potstickers were okay. I wish the filling had more flavor. I dipped them in the sichuan sauce, and that helped the potstickers taste better. The customer service was good. I will be returning to try more dishes.

    Came in on a Thursday night around 6 and it was very quiet. The server was very welcoming and nice. It's a small restaurant with about 7-8 tables? The parking lot is huge. It also had a residential feeling to the entrance of the lot. So if you are not looking for the sign, it can easily be missed. I came here to try the beef noodle soup and it did not disappoint. It had a hint of herbal taste and the texture of the noodles was good. The noodle with minced pork was really spicy though. It had that numbing spice to it. The woodear and cabbage was okay. The cabbage was a bit crunchy for my taste. The red bean pork buns were so cute. I just had to order them for my daughter. She loved it. Perfect dessert to end the night. :)

    convenient spot for lunch -- fair prices but the same quality as the official meizhou stores. their best items are the spicy dishes and if u come during noon, it's usually not too busy

    I'm a big fan of Meizhou Dong Po restaurant, and always want to try this Meizhou Express. It's a little bit disappointed. 1) beef noodle soup. I love the portion of beef, but not very tender. The flavor is good though. 2) Dan Dan noodle. I ordered the non-spicy version, the soup base has more flavor than the beef noodle soup. Recommend this dish. 3) pork with the bun. The pork is very tender and well cooked, the Mei Gan Cai at the bottom is not authentic though. 4) Soup bun. The skin of it is quite different than traditional Xiao Long Bao. Not bad though. The location is easy to miss, watch out the small sign on the wall. Parking spots are limited but not hard on a weekday day time. The indoor place is clean and simple. 非常喜欢眉州东坡酒楼,但是这个快餐版有点失望。 没有烤鸭,有卤鸭。门帘不大、很容易开过。店内干净简洁,服务人员态度很好。 牛肉面:牛肉非常多,味道也好,但是牛肉不够嫩,软烂。 担担面:非辣版本。汤底味道比牛肉面更浓郁,推荐。 梅菜扣肉:扣肉很嫩,但是梅干菜没啥味道,不正宗。 汤包: 居然是发面的?味道还行,没有很惊艳。 总体来说,当作快捷餐厅来吃是可以的,和眉州东坡差距蛮大的。 这顿饭$50多一点。

    Came here with my bf since it's super close to my house ((: we ordered their cucumber salad, Meizhou shumai, spicy wonton soup and Dan Dan noodles. I absolutely LOVE their cucumber salad!! It's light and sour and garlicky and savory all at the same time yummers!!! Also loved their Dan Dan noodles, surprisingly more soupy than your average Dan Dan noodles but it still tasted super good. My least favorite was the spicy wonton soup, I didn't get a pic but it was underwhelming. It was literally like 12 wontons floating in a bowl of water with a few splashes of chili oil. Felt like it lacked flavor so I dipped it in the leftover Dan Dan noodles soup and it was perfect (: did the same thing with the shumai since it was slightly dry by itself.

    Dan Dan Noodle: 3/5 Bang bang chicken: 4/5 Soup Dumpling: 2/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 3.2/5 I've wanted to try Meizhou Express for a long time. It seemed to have authentic chinese food at cheap prices. The first part still holds true, but the prices have risen so much that they are now unreasonable. I spent around 43 dollars on soup dumplings, bang bang chicken, with two dan dan noodles, and I was still hungry afterwards. The dan dan noodles had a good amount of spice, it was a good kick but still edible. However, it was too salty, and wasn't especially unique. The bang bang chicken was the best part of the meal, a good mix of light sweetness and mala. However, it was also 10 dollars, the value of two delicious costco chickens... The soup dumplings were just dumplings, the soup inside had either seeped out, or was nonexistent. Ambiance wise, Mei Zhou Express gives you the impression that you've wandered into a small family restaurant in China. It may not be a spot if you're planning on impressing someone, but could serve as a nice quick lunch spot if you're in the area. The food came out as soon as I ordered. All in all, Meizhou Express is OK. Temper your expectations and you will be happy, have high expectations and you will come out sad

    Once again, amazing, we came here tonight and a few months back with a group of four. Either the group of four, we likely ordered 8 different dishes (pork belly, Dan Dan noodles, the Meizhou Pork buns, the chicken pot stickers, the dongpo crispy duck, sichuan dumplings, peppered beef, & cold noodles with shredded chicken and obviously rice) absolutely everyone at the table was blown away, especially with the duck. It was so funny, my friend was furious with how good the duck was and how much he liked it. The Dan Dan noodles are always amazing. They have a good amount of that hot numbing sensation but not so much that it interfered with anything else. The dungpo pork belly was an umami bomb & it's the right amount of sweet, also, it was sooo tender, with a hidden bed of cabbage underneath. Chicken soup dumplings, juicy and so flavorful, you can taste the love in those dumplings. Duck!! The duck!! Right amount of crispy, right amount of sweet. The restaurant is small and cozy, the hostess is always welcoming. You can technically have a large party but I would call ahead to make that arrangement. For come out pretty quickly. Never hear too long & that check in to make sure everything is good, which it always is. Perfect! Love it here!

    Stumbled upon this place while on our drive back from big Bear looking for a quick meal. If you like the Dongpo in Arcadia at the Santa Anita mall, you'll enjoy this as well as it is part of their franchise but on the cheaper side. My friends and I are obsessed with Szechuan food and this was the perfect spot for us. Will definitely be coming back if I'm ever in the area again. Huge bonus: no long waits and decently priced!

    To Go
    Nicole T.

    What? There's a Dongpo but cheaper and bigger portions? We've been to the Meizhou at the Westfield Mall in Santa Anita and boy, it's pretty pricey and the portions are gourmet-esque tiny sized. Yes, please. Recently, moved an office to Irwindale and a friend recommended we grab lunch at Meizhou Express. It's only about 10 mins from us, but things happened at the office and we ended up having to pick up to go instead. I was not disappointed - we ordered the cucumber salad, wood ear mushroom and cabbage, bang bang chicken, dongpo pork belly, and "Mr. + Mrs. Smith" which with the help of the Chinese translation = was the sliced beef in chili sauce. We also each got our own bowl of noodles - the cold sesame chicken noodles should not be underestimated, there's definitely a chili kick to it. The Dan Dan noodles had a good bounce and chewiness to it compared to other restaurants it had a lot of sauce which was really nice, personal preference and the spice was just right!

    They charged me $9.99

    Horrible service. They have old menus with old prices and then charge new pricing. They refused to refund me what I originally ordered $7.99 wonton soup and charged me $9.99 because they didn't update their menus. Women at the counter is also very unfriendly. Didn't even care at all and was very stern about not being able to refund what the pricing on their menu. It was an empty restaurant when I can during lunch time. I'd avoid coming here, seems like they're trying to scam customers with shady business practices!

    Any vegan options?

    Yes, there are veggie dishes. However, I hope you like spicy as almost everything is. You can ask for “non”, but I don’t it tastes as good.

The food did take a while, but I can understand that when everything is being made fresh. Just know that if you're on a time crunch, this probably isn't the place for a quick meal. The gentleman who seated us and took our order was really nice, but after that, we pretty much felt forgotten about. Once the food arrived though, it was Good. Very flavorful, authentic Chinese food, and definitely worth trying. The atmosphere is loud and busy, no music, just the sound of a completely packed restaurant, so don't come expecting a quiet, relaxing dinner. Also, fair warning, some of these dishes are Spicy, and I mean actually spicy. If you love some heat, you'll probably love this place. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try for the food. Lots of dishes to choose from. A good variety too of proteins, vegetables, noodles and Wonton soup.

I've been told by some of my colleagues that MILD spicy is still pretty spicy, so be warned. With that said, strongly recommend the dishes below. Lamb with Cumin 11/10 - My favorite dish here by far. Aromatic, flavorful, and the spices are just on point. Dan Dan Noodles 9/10 - Solid and consistently good. The sauce is properly seasoned and truly compliments the perfectly cooked noodles. Shredded Cabbage with Pork 9/10 - Not to be confused with twice cooked pork. This dish is so simple and bland looking, but it's packed with flavor... so good! Garlic Pork Belly 8/10 - This is a cold dish. The meat was perfectly cooked and properly coated in chili oil. Solid and consistently good. Kung Pao Chicken 8/10 - In my opinion, it's an elevated Kung Pao Chicken. Solid and consistently good.

    This place is crazy good. When you think of Szechuan food you're probably thinking SPICE, but you…read morecan adjust the heat of most of the dishes here so you're not frying your tongue off. It can get really busy, though, so expect to wait or just call in your order and take your food to go. I recommend the soy sauce tofu with beef dish. It's fire. Massive W. Gen Z words. Good.

    Came here with my date. Came in slightly earlier than the peak dinner time, so the restaurant was…read moremuch quieter than usual. My date had recommended this location, and it was worth the visit. I decided to order the Chengdu Noodles, with an added 3 level of heat. It came pretty spicy, but definitely burned really flavorbly. The spicy sauce were drenching the noodles with a delicious chunks of ground pork and bok choy. Also tried their chilled Mung Bean drink and that was really, really good. The booth seats were really comfortable. The staff was also friendly and smiled. They don't have physical menus here, so scan the sign thing that's on your table to place your order. Parking can be a challenge here. There's same level parking or under the parking structure. There's also other food places in the same plaza, if you want to visit as well.

    SO and I crave the noodles (and fries surprisingly lol) from here!…read more Fast service and easy self ordering system. Easy parking in the underground lot. - chengdu zajiang noodles (Level 5 Extra Spicy) $13: a little too spicy to completely enjoy the dish, so will go back to lvl 3 next time lol. Love the texture of the noodles and all the flavors complement each other. - red chili sauce wonton (Lvl 3) $13: not memorable - chengdu fries $5: perfectly crisp on the outside, soft center. nicely seasoned with the same spice that's on chinese bbq - spicy beef noodles (lvl 3) $15: tasty, tender beef, would get again - hot & sour glass noodles (lvl 5): so simple with the fried egg. I usually like clear noodles because of the chew, but i actually prefer the egg noodle more here - mung bean drink / cup $2: simple, refreshing, affordable - cucumber salad $6: basic, palette cleanser, but not much flavor. wouldn't get again Will wanna try the steamed egg next time.

    Tea smoked duck! Order it! It's smoky, crispy, juicy and , savory…read more My go to order: numbing spicy chicken nuggets, stinky tofu, and duck. The spicy chicken nuggets has the right amount of numbing spice, paired with the crunch of the chicken, and filled with crispy chili pieces. The stinky tofu is fried and pairs perfectly with pungent garlic dipping sauce. The portions are generous and the price is super affordable. Most dishes range from 12.99 -15.99. The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout. And the boss lady that runs the front of the house? She is cool, sassy and a multi-tasking queen. You can tell she puts heart and pride into serving the customers and food. When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

    4/5 vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful:…read more Lin's Club is a small family owned restaurant located in that cramped plaza at the intersection of Sixth Street and Duarte near the border of Arcadia and Monrovia. They have many classic Chinese dishes at a truly affordable price point. The food: We ordered four different dishes: green beans (v), stir fried egg plants (v), mapo tofu (v), and chicken with rice. For the first three dishes, we clarified with the owner to make this vegetarian (also vegan), which she was able to do very easily and without question. We communicated with her in Chinese, but she also spoke English to us, when we discovered that our Chinese was likely not as fluent as native speakers. Everything was flavorful, without relying on just an overwhelming amount of salt, and we really enjoyed the green beans that seemed to be cooked in fermented bean paste. I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out. Even so, once we did order our meal, it didn't take too long for all four dishes to come out. For these reasons, I can't say service was particularly attentive, but they were still polite and I felt like they did try to make it a good experience for us, even if it was so busy. Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.
