Food was delicious and alot of it! The owner was very nice and super thorough in describing menu items and making sure that we had everything we wanted and needed for a wonderful lunch while out of town , working. Service was quick, too. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend for everyone to eat here , if they happen to pass by this out of the way town , in Central Washington!

Rare is the review from me that is a take-out experience, but these nice folks are still stuck in scamdemic mode, like it’s 2020. Their choice, so I will just shake my head and press on. Regardless, their Chin-Amer fare is absolutely fantastic. One look at their fried proteins will tell the tale. Those are hand-made on the spot, Cochise. Yang Tze Pork had great char sui flavor, and the sides were robust and delicious. We ordered from their ‘family style’ menu, and for $17 per, it was one helluva lot of food. Wifey kept trying to order some other items, and I had to tell her we were already going to get pounded with the amount of food we had comin’. The leftovers in my fridge will testify to that little factoid. This little town in the middle of nowhere is quite fortunate to have this family to order from…

Stopped on our through town. They only serve take out and there is a small waiting area in the entrance. The old dining room is blocked off and full of boxes and kids things. There are no restrooms for customers.
The portions are large and the prices reasonable. The food tasted more homemade than most Chinese restaurants – not as salty or greasy. As others mentioned, the sweet and sour sauce is thin, as is the almond chicken sauce. The pork did appear to be chopped up and formed into meatball type shapes before battering and frying. But, the result was tender and delicious! The chop suey and fried rice were very mildly flavored, almost bland, but very fresh tasting. The chown mein noodles had a good wok hay flavor.
Overall, the food was satisfying and didn’t leave a heavy feeling after eating. You might be disappointed if you try to compare to offerings in big cities, but it’s a nice, family run small business that was doing a steady business on a Tuesday night.

Love Mei Lings!! It’s clean and the staff is always friendly. The food isn’t too greasy or heavy. I especially like their uncomplicated lunch buffet. It’s quick and the food is always hot. They don’t over stock the buffet but instead keep smaller fresh batches coming out. I also enjoy their regular menu in the evening. The cooks always try to accommodate requests and substitutions.

Absolutely disgusting.
It is a sin to even call this Chinese food. While the service was kind enough, and the price at least wasn’t ridiculous, the food is god awful.
The pork fried rice was dry and obviously old, the couple bites I took were literally crunchy….
I was excited to see they had actual chow mein (crunchy noodle, not soft noodle), but was quickly disappointed when I discovered it had no flavor, like not at all, it was like eating chopped and steamed celery.
The sweet and sour sauce that came with the pork and chicken was watery and tasted more like mild teriyaki.
And the “meat” peices were severely over cooked and not much of it.
The store itself was dirty and cramped.

They only have take out service but the food is great. They offer a great special for lunch that will fill you up. It’s a great choice. You won’t regret stopping

This place is absolutely amazing. I am surprised by the negative 3-4 reviews and felt that Mei Ling Inn Chinese Thai and American Restaurant was a 5 star and was really great. I would recommend this place.

It was clean inside and the staff was friendly. Food was pretty disappointing. Not really any flavor to any of the food we ordered, sweet and sour sauce was watery and tasted like brown sugar, and the chicken was not fried all the way.

Best Thai cuisine in the country! If you haven’t been to Mei Lings I have no clue what you’re doing with your life, you’re probably going to the subway next to Mei Lings which would be a big mistake! Why spend $5.00 plus dollars when your money can go into a hot authentic thai meal which has a great combination of pork, chicken, amazing rice and noodles. Plus don’t get me started on the great sauces! And if you give this place a bad review shame on you and curse your family for generations to come and natural selection will take it’s course on you and those you love.Would eat here everyday if only I lived in town. Huge fan by the way Mei Lings cook/owner.
