Didn't even know about this place until I search for dumplings on yelp Let me tell you, now that I found it. I will definitely be frequenting this place a lot. I personally love their spicy wonton soup, but I've also tried the regular soup and the broth is amazing either way. I just prefer the spicier version. It's hard to really say what you should order here, I personally like the spicy wonton soup, but every single one of their appetizers that I have tried are amazing, unfortunately, I haven't tried too many of their main dishes as I tend to be a creature of habit, but I'm sure just like with all the appetizers that I've tried everything you order here will come out amazing. Anytime it's cold or starts to rain, this is my go to spot for a nice warm soup read more

不要把你的幸福，建立在會失去的東西上，很多時候好運不是求來的，而是你一點一點建立的，我相信當我們到另外一個高度時，自然就會看到不同的風景～ 眉州東坡，很多朋友都去過了，但是你們去過這一家眉州東坡的中央廚房嗎？朋友說眉州東坡很多菜都是在這做的，這家看似隱身在住宅區附近， 一點都不起眼的小店，沒有裝潢，價格自然也比富麗堂皇的大酒樓親民多了， 我跟朋友去過眉州東坡滿多次的，說實話，從來沒有驚艷過，來這家中央廚房，我個人覺得東西也是好壞參半， 我記得他家的豬腳湯， 做的就真的好吃，但麵好像鹹了一點， 酒釀湯圓有待加強， 有去過的吃貨朋友們，可以建議他們有啥好吃的嗎？ read more

One of the little hidden gems in baldwin park with great food. It's very unassuming since it's a small store front with it's own parking lot and no other chinese food around the area. We've been here a few times and the dongpu fatty pork meat with buns is always a go to. The way the pork melts in your mouth mixed with the picked root veggie sandwiched between the mantou bun is just yum! Service is great and the staff are friendly, they only interact with us when we make eye contact which is fine since the establishment is rather small so you don't have to stare across a large open area to try to get someone's attention. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. :) read more

I came here on a whim because I was craving wonton soup or something like it. I got the spicy wonton soup 9/10 and their version of shumai. It was all delicious! Service- I was the only person there and it took a little bit of time but I don't mind it. As far as the location, there is a big parking lot. There's not a lot of decor or anything fancy, it's just no frills, and it was relatively clean. I think the price was okay, but the portions were small. Flavor wise- this is great! I was expecting the normal wonton soup you get at phoenix, you know, the basic, but I was given authenticity. Overall it's delicious and I would come by here again. read more

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。 read more

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. read more

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 read more

What I had: - Beef noodle soup ($14.99) - Banbang chicken ($10.99) - Meizhou pork buns ($8.99) - Sichaun dumplings ($6.99) How it tasted: - Everything was phenomenal. The seasonings were ample, heat (spice) was present, and the warmth of the food (temp) carried well via travel back home. Why did I give it a four? - The service was sincere and prompt. The server checked back multiple times ensuring I was content. The food was delicious as well. It also felt like a hidden gym in Baldwin Park. Verdict? - Give it a shot if you're in or near Baldwin Park wanting a quick lunch/dinner meal. read more

Wow, this place is incredible. Was looking for authenticity here, and boy did it deliver. Got the Dongpo pork belly with buns, cucumber salad, and fried rice, and absolutely everything delivered. The pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the buns were like clouds to accompany it. I don't even know how you could cook pork belly better. The cucumber salad had perfect bite to it and was so good with the garlic and chilis. The fried rice was super solid. Definitely flavorful and a great complement to everything else. I liked that the interior was modern too. A definite plus. The waitress was also quite kind and gave us great service. Private parking lot. It may look dark, but this place will be open with the posted hours. Also, I saw Baldwin Park PD eating here, so they know what's up too! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

This is literally a hole in the wall place. It was kind of a nervous experience sitting in there eating first time since COVID wreaked havoc, but fortunately while we were there no one was there. The waitress was super friendly and nice. She was attentive and chatted with us to throughout. To-go utensils were offered to us, which was perfect! We ordered the Meizhou pork buns, Meizhou Shumai, Dan Dan noodle (low spiciness), and Dongpo duck (half a duck). The pork buns were hot and soft and squishy. The filling was more minced than the regular dim sum bun filling. The flavor was just right, not too salty. I enjoyed the bun very much due to their softness and fluffiness. The shumai were hot and juicy. Again, these weren't dim sum shumai that are dry. They were kind of like Xiao Long Bao but not as soupy. The shumai skin was thin and resembles wonton skin. Per the waitress, they hand wrapped their own shumai. The Dan Dan noodle was tasty as well. Loved how hot it was and the noodle was fairly al dente for a soup base noodle. It wasn't too salty and there was a fairly amount of minced pork. If you aren't used to Northern Chinese level of spiciness, order low spiciness or you might not enjoy it. The duck was my favorite. The meat was not soft and each piece didn't fall apart when picked up with chopsticks like sometimes with roasted duck. This wasn't roasted, more like sautéed, but did not taste fatty at all. The crispy skin had minimal fat and the meat was chewy in just the right amount. There was a hint of sweetness to the flavoring. Loved this entree! They have plenty of parking in the lot and pricing is decent. Highly recommend this little spot! read more

I am wondering how come they got 4 and a half stars on yelp. This restaurant has the worst manner I ever met. The clerks are rude and the food is awful. I visited this restaurant just several days after I had had dinner at Mei Zhou Dong Po at Westfield Santa Anita. I thought this is an express version of Mei Zhou Dong Po but I was too wrong. One clerk even forced me to stop take photos of my own food. What? She is even yelling at me, said what are you photo for? read more

I've been here a few times now and giving it the authentic Dongpo rating! I've had both the Dan Dan noodles and the Beef noodles. Both dishes have surpassed its flavor test! Come here for the tapas style Sichuanese dumplings and buns! I would recommend bringing a friend to enjoy their full menu as portions are quite generous. Their Dongpo style pork is braised to perfection and very flavorful! Like many others have said, this place is magically placed in the middle of no where in Baldwin Park and I'm surprised they even opened one at this location! I'm definitely thankful and glad they did, as there's not many great Asian cuisine options on this side of town! read more

Ahhhh that authentic Taiwanese flavors, experienced here indeed and even more so powerful flavoring with the spices they use. Of course we had the dan dan noodle and it did not disappoint!! The chicken cold noodle was also robust in flavor. The bun with pork belly, flavor was strong, could be powerful for those not used to their authenticity. Definitely a different mix and presentation but I was happily surprised. Err to the salty side though. The portions are more tapas size but it will come in flavors to knock you off your seat. Small but clean place, definitely was a crowd continually arriving , so we came as they first opened. You would not have thought this place would open in this neighborhood but I'm glad they did and put this place as an option for the locals. This could be a go to place for that specific crave indeed. Good service, seems like a couple run place so prepare to wait. But don't worry you won't be disappointed so long as you're willing to try anything. read more

This is my 3rd time having their food here but 1st time dining in. This place never disappoints, every dish was packed with flavor and aromatic. I absolutely love the food here and it's a cute cozy little joint. We had a nice quiet dinner. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. We literally just feasted after a long day of work. I just enjoy how every dish we had, had it's own delicious flavor going (nothing tasted the same and nothing needed any added favoring like chilli or soy sauce.. everything was seasoned perfectly. This was a fantastic meal and the food came out at a decent pase. Give this place a try if you haven't already- you won't regret it! read more

Ate inside, it was kinda awkward with the lack of music and just me and my friend there, but when the food arrived I forgot about all of that. The dumplings there were really good. Like, best Ive ever had good. We ordered the wrong dumplings and It was still amazing. If you want dumplings go to this place. The dan dan noodles and the spicy dumplings aren't that spicy at all so fear not if you don't have that high of a spice tolerance. Overall, this is definitely a place id go to again when im craving really good authentic Chinese food. Again, their dumplings are really freaking good read more

If you enjoy eating at Meizhou Dongpo, but are looking to spend less, get larger portions, and are ok with the inside décor to be less aesthetic then this is the place to go. Came here over the weekend after getting recommended by a buddy and was surprised that it was located in the middle of nowhere. I was also a bit shocked that there were no other customers besides myself and my partner in the restaurant. My guess for this is that most people order for pick-up and take it to-go. Ordered a couple of items for myself: Bang Bang Chicken - Chicken was juicy and tender. The sauce that it came with had a lot of flavor. Dan Dan Noodles - The texture of the noodles were to my liking, the broth was flavorful, but a tad salty. Service itself was probably the best part. Waters were refilled consistently and the server was friendly. I would come back again just to try some of the other items. Just wish it was located in a better spot. read more

A definite hidden gem in SGV offering authentic Chinese food. This is a small, family operated restaurant at the very east side of SGV. It is not in any strip mall or have any restaurant around. It easily missed if you are not intentionally looking for it. They have a parking lot right next to the restaurant. Service is great even though there is not much server. The server is kind and greeted people with great smile. It was cold in this May morning. She even turned on the heat just for us. The food is simply awesome. We ordered the Dan dan noodle, Dongpo sausage, Dongpo pork belly, and the pig throtter in the hot pot. Dan Dan noodle: it is NOT the Taiwanese kind (with peanut) sauce but the sichuen style, spicy with minced salty pork on the top. The broth is just right. And the noodle is chewy and nice. Dongpo sausage: two different kind, original and spicy. Goes great with a bowl of white rice. Dongpo pork belly: pork belly was cooked so tender and tasty. I love the preserved veggie under, you can eat a bowl of rice just from that veggie!! One of my most favorite dish since child hood. Pig feet soup: the soup is nice and not too salty. We like to add a bit of vingear to it. And the chili sauce that come with it works great to the pig feet. Tons of veggie and soy bean at the bottom. The price is great for all dishes. And the taste is super. I don't give out a lot of five stars. But this one really deserve a 5 stars!! read more

Ordered for delivery- boiled fish with Sichuan pickles, asked for mild but it came with a little kick. Probably not the best choice for someone who is sick as a dog with no taste buds to talk about either. It was a tad oily. I'll refer further judgment when I am better. Got the sweet buns too, these I loved. Came 4 pieces in a container these cute looking steamed bun with red bean filling. Not too sweet just the right amount of filling too. And did I say these were adorbs? I almost didn't want to bite them. Almost! read more

Meizhou Express - Sweet Buns - Noodles Near Me - Baldwin Park, California

Had it once. Limited menu. Ambiance is very sterile. Maybe do takeout. Tons of parking.

It's now called Meizhou Cuisine, dropping the Express from their name. It's located in an area of Baldwin Park where you'd least expect to find a Chinese restaurant that actually serves food catered to an Eastern palate. Most dishes are spicy, but won't burn your mouth, much. They're also oily, often bathing in a pool of reddish chili oil. But the flavors are great. Inside is clean, and they have some photos on the wall arranged artistically. Service is pleasant. Our server, the only one working the small dining area is polite and courteous, but not too personable. Bang bang chicken: My 2nd time having this. Chicken slices soaked in seasoned chili oil. Portions were larger before, but still good. Sliced beef, also served in a spicy oil w/ crushed peanuts on yop. Good flavor, equally heavy on the grease factor. Dan dan noodles. Also 2nd time having this. There's a bit of initial heat but the palate quickly adjusts. Also greasy. Dongpo pork belly w/ steamed buns. Fatty pork pieces, very tender and good flavor, cooked with sour pickled cabbage to put inside the bun. Delicious. Dongo Crispy Duck, perhaps the mildest in flavor and the only underwhelming dish. The meat is very lean for duck, but it's dry and bland. The skin isn't crisy at all, so this is one dish I'll probably not order again. The prices points are very reasonable. All of the dishes were about $47.00 including tax. Meizhou Cuisine can be considered a hidden gem. The exterior doesn't look like a restaurant, and the location had me skeptical at first. But one visit showed me this little eatery has some authentic spicy Chinese food. Tips: Use GPS to find this place. Private parking lot, but looks like it's shared with another business. As of 9/2018, there's a lot of road construction on Maine Ave., where Meizhou is located. Don't be afraid of the pool of lava in your food, it's not that bad. Finally, I learned this from Asian elders; don't drink iced water when eating greasy foods. Have warm or hot water to help dissolve the grease that going down your stomach. Seems logical to me! read more
