Mei Wei is a fantastic choice when you’re craving any genre of asian cuisine. They had a wide selection of Chinese and Thai dishes, none of which we were disappointed by.
We called in an hour ahead with a party of 8 on a Friday night, but it was probably unnecessary as we were the only dine in party. They had plenty of take out orders throughout the evening.
The owner is incredible, very stern and stoic, but also was super kind and respected the nut allergies at our table, even asking if there was anything else we couldn’t have.
The food was great overall. The prices were incredibly reasonable for the portions.
The Thai Chicken Basil Fried Rice was the surprise favorite of the evening. Salty, spicy, and herbaceous with tender pieces of chicken throughout.
The Orange Chicken was a crowd pleaser, huge pieces of chicken with a sticky, sweet glaze. I can’t overstate just how good the quality of chicken was.
The Sautéed String Beans were a great vegetable dish, fresh and snappy, coated in a savory sauce. I nearly cleared the whole plate of them by myself.
The Thai Red Curry with Tofu was good, a very warm and spicy curry that was great over the rice. It was so good that people took half of it before I even got the chance to take a photo of it . I wasn’t a huge fan of the tofu and would probably order it with chicken next time.
The Chicken Pad Thai was good as well, savory with big pieces of tender chicken, complimented well by the lime. The noodles were a little dense, but not egregiously so.
Overall, great prices with incredibly attentive and fast staff. I highly recommend you come and support them, they have tasty food that you don’t want to miss.

Great food.
We typically call ahead or order online and pick it up. Food has ALWAYS been ready on time; this is important to me, not wasting anyone’s time.
It’s hard to call this standard Chinese take out since it is much tastier, has a better menu and a bit more love put into the dishes. I’d call it elevated, not quite traditional or authentic like the Asian dishes my family makes at home, but definitely a different level than standard takeout.
People are super friendly, service is great.
Keep up the great work. I’ll be back many times in the future.

We actually ended up at Mei Wei because another restaurant had a long wait.So glad we tried this place!
We were seated immediately, and drink orders taken. Our waiter was quick, food was hot and again, came out quickly but was piping hot and flavorful. I ordered the orange chicken, it was crispy, the chicken was tender and delicious. The whole experience was great. Our waiter treated us very well, it is definitely a family friendly place. We hadn’t found any good Asian food but we have found it now!

Go see Aj he is truly passionate and cares. I frequent places that the people care and interact. This guy is a hidden gem. He works hard and hustles. He cares and goes above and beyond. One of a kind place if he is working if he isn’t, well can’t vouch for it. This guy has a passion we should all emulate

I stopped in this restaurant last night and had a few drinks. I’m leaving this review because the gentleman named AJ, gave me five-star service. He was extremely nice, extremely personable and extremely friendly.
I’ll absolutely return to this restaurant to dine again.

No greeting as we entered. Place was empty except us and 1 picking up carry out. No greeting. “Go sit”. No menu for a few minutes. Male Asian waiter around 30 and simply not in the right line of work. Rude,rude and more rude. The food was pretty good. My date had an upset stomach and only ate a little of hers. She asked the waiter for a box and asked why she didn’t like. Before she could answer he started pointing to other tables that had that dish today. ( place is empty). “all these people had it and liked it”. He was very close to getting a good lesson in manners. As we left the cashier, never said a word. Just looked at us. Visited on 1-24 @7:30 PM. pretty easy to remember the only table. We will be back when Mei Wei is no longer on the building and another restaurant takes over. Note to the waiter: The Walmart behind you as a signed posted. “Hiring night stockers”. Take the hint…..

Both of the meals I got from this restaurant have been to go and were past a typical lunch time… around 2 or 3 pm. That could be my mistake, but after getting two different dishes, I don’t think I will be returning. The first dish was chicken lo mein, and it was really not good at all. It was hot. It was fresh. But the flavor was really not good. I’ve had lo mein literally all over the USA and in Korea and Japan. This ranked in the lowest 20%. The next time I went, which was a few weeks later, was to get pad thai chicken to go. Again, it was hot… it was fresh… but the flavor was not good at all. It’s more like absent. Pad Thai noodles typically have a sauce with peanut in it… some kind of consistency This was a clear, broth-like liquid with some ground up peanuts thrown in as an afterthought. It was probably the worst pad thai I’ve ever had. I could taste chicken, the noodles themselves, and that’s about it. To finish it, I thought of something other than pad thai while I ate it.
Its totally possible I picked the two dishes that are not their best. I don’t know. But, I won’t be returning. I hope it was just two bad days for them and that their norm is much better.

Dined here with a group of 20 during a field trip & was pleasantly surprised. At my end of the table, the wait-staff helped coach the kids. They toned down the spice levels to be accommodating to the young palates. I would have appreciated the spice, personally. Appetizers came out quickly, some kids were waiting on their entrees for a bit, yet pretty much all seemed to enjoy what they received.. one child had 3 servings of wonton soup! There were Thai, Chinese and Japanese options and the lunch specials were filling. My child & I tried the tempora shrimp (perfect), Tom Yum soup (good), chicken coconut soup (very coconutty), orange chicken (very good) & the thai chicken with basil & chiles (one of my favorites). Next time I’ll ask for extra chile sauce on the side, cuz I like spicy Thai!

Came early on a Friday- 5 pm place was empty which was great- we were starving! Our waitress spoke very little English- struggled with my order all together including the Michelob Ultra – had to literally show her the menu item- then she stared at it for a good minute- eventually had to take the menu with her to the kitchen. Oh and i had to walk over to the cooler to show her and another employee where the beer was- haha.
Daughter ordered wonton soup but could not finish it. She said it did not taste good. Our appetizer was lettuce wraps, and they were good. Out main dishes were the sesame chicken – daughter, who is a chef gives it a 5/10, I had a combo #15 half General Sao chicken and shrimp in a white sauce, I would also give it a 5/10. We live 35 min from restaurant and wont go out of our way to dine here again. To end on a positive the staff was super friendly so that was nice.
