We've been enjoying Mei Mei dumplings ever since we discovered them at Farm Fresh farmers market in Providence, so when we heard they offered classes we had to try one. We went to a soup dumpling class today and had SO MUCH fun learning how soup dumplings are made and learning how to make simple Mei Mei folds and more complicated pleat folds. And then we got to enjoy the fruits of our labor with some lovely mocktails. Delicious! I highly recommend this class. Agnes was a great teacher and both patient and fun. If you can't make it a class, look for their dumplings at your local farmers market or go to their store. I like the classic pork and ginger best, but they also make some more unusual flavors and both veggie and vegan options read more

I went to Mei Mei's Bottomless Dumplings event after being very impressed with their frozen dumplings and it was awesome! Tickets were a little over $30 and you get to eat a variety of dumplings to your heart's content. There was a delicious pickled cabbage side, salad, crunchy onion, and sauces. Drinks available for purchase. They even let us take some of the leftover dumplings at the end of the event. It's a small space so it was a little snug but honestly the vibes among the people there were great. This was an awesome way to eat great food and catch up with friends while supporting a small business. Highly recommend their bottomless dumpling event as well as their frozen dumplings. read more

Great food, great vibe, great fun making dumplings today. The instructor Ben was lots of fun and a GREAT teacher. Fortunately, there are a couple of places in central Massachusetts where I can buy these lovely morsels, but the trip into the big city to experience the restaurant and factory was well worth it . read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - Check out the elephant dumplings, among others! - Caterers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Fantastic independent dumpling shop that offers a range of well-crafted and tasty dumplings. There are usually 4-5 flavors on offer, ranging from ginger chicken to curried sweet potato or lemongrass pork. They also have several scallion pancake sandwiches and sides/salads which are all excellent. I'm a particular fan of the Double Awesome, their just-the-right-amount-of greasy and unctuous take on the classic breakfast sandwich. They have take out (including frozen dumpling packs) and dine-in in a charming, clean cafe space. Note that hours, at least currently, are pretty limited. read more

The shape of these dumplings is so appealing! Each bite is packed with flavor and the ambiance is cute! This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion. read more

Can't say enough! Excellent dumplings, the staff is amazing. It is so nice to hear they get most of their ingredients from here in the north east. Couldn't be more pleased with our visit. We took one of the dumpling making classes with was so fun! The price was affordable. Totally recommend!! read more

I'm not a huge fan of Asian fusion. I prefer authentic Asian dishes. I find their dumpling skins to be quite thick and the fillings not very flavorful. I do like that they use good quality pork that's locally sourced but don't love that the tofu dumplings contain canola oil. (GMO oil) I would not recommend this restaurant or their frozen dumplings that cost $16 a box.. read more

I saw on Yelp the Grand opening on Friday for new South Boston location. I stopped by Saturday at2 pm for some dumplings. I drove a good 45-1 Hr distance to try. I walk in and greeter told me I need a ticket? Nothing on website telling me I need a ticket? I asked if able to order take out? Told no... they don't want to run out of food ... well 2nd day after Grand opening is not too grand and running out of food? . She sends me packing and I won't be backing again... Real rude for a new customer. The on line food delivery sites looked active for take out from this establishment. If they had any customer appreciation... they should be sampling a single dumpling to visitors instead of turning away... I had delicious dumplings after this hot mess place in Chinatown and will stick to local small appreciative family restaurants... Goodbye to Mei, Mei.. I intended to order takeout and some frozen ones to go home...I advise the owners take a business class on marketing and customer retention. They lost a likely weekly customer of eat in and frozen ones to go ... read more

Every so often, there emerges a revelatory evolution of a known foodstuff. The cronut, the Pop-Tart, the bacon wrapped date, the pulled pork nacho. And now, the Double Awesome. It's an egg and cheese with pesto on extremely well-made scallion pancakes. It's a mega handful of fried and yolk and crisp and fat. It's a fully supported marriage between the Capulets and Montagues. It's a song in an eco-friendly clamshell. It's the Metatron. It's, quite literally, a hot mess. Not that you should ignore the other worthy offerings (Magical Kale Salad with a poached egg, the stuffed-til-bursting Beef Dumplings, the tangy tonic of apple cider vinegar, honey and cranberry bitters known redundantly as the Haymaker's Punch), but when in Double Awesomeonia, order the Double Awesome. But don't make plans for dinner. You'll still be stuffed, and likely asleep. LevelUp accepted! read more

My first triple digit review! And I'm so happy that it's 5 star-worthy. You spot the Mei Mei Street Kitchen Truck. Score! Don't get overwhelmed by the options. This is what you're gonna do: 1. Order a Double Awesome. 2. Smile as the genuinely nice dude in the truck takes your order and says your name. 3. Dip your warm scallion pancake sandwich in the spicy ketchup. 4. Take a big bite as gooey poached egg and cheese drip onto your fingers. And maybe your chin. 5. Ignore the judging looks from your friends with easy-to-eat (read: boring) meals. 6. Inhale it. And start to obsess. My oh my, Mei Mei. You've got the food truck thing down. $7 for this delicious creation is so worth it. Not into the scallion sandwich scene? My friends ordered the Summer Fun Curry, which was fresh, flavorful, and warmly comforting. One gal, who spent some time in India, ventured to claim it's the best curry she's ever tasted. And she'd had her taste of curries. Just follow these simple steps, and you won't go wrong. I will follow you on Twitter. I will follow you around Boston. I will follow you to the ends of the Earth, Mei Mei. read more

One of my favorite spots! Best dumplings and sandwiches. I've been going to mei mei since it was on Beacon street, happy to see it expanding and doing so well. 10/10 recommend, it's unique and you won't find these flavors anywhere else! read more

We can here for an early dinner. Service was really great. Our server asked the kitchen to make the double awesome for us even though it wasn't on the menu. The double awesome was double awesome for sure! We also ordered the beet and lima bean purée special which was absolutely delicious. I was literally licking the plate it was served in! We also ordered the kale and egg salad with dinner and the peaches and cream for dessert. The cookie in the peaches and cream was a bit too sesame for my liking but the rest of the dessert was inhalable. We also spotted Top Chef winner Kristen Kish at dinner which was pretty cool. Come to Mei Mei if you want great service and to enjoy delicious small plates of food! read more

I was excited to try The Double Awesome - scallion pancake sandwich w/ two slow poached eggs, VT cheddar, local pesto $7, but was disappointed by the black spots on the rather thin scallion pancake... and this was after having picked up my order, only to be told that they had given me the wrong order, thus continuing my wait for a bit longer. The rest of it was okay and nicely hot and gooey/moist, but when your order is made upon ordering, shouldn't greater attention be paid to keep your lunch from burning? It probably also didn't help that I'm a fan of the thicker chewy/crisp type of scallion pancake. This was actually my second visit to Mei Mei's. This second trip was during the Fenway Alliance's Open Our Doors event and the truck was parked at Christian Science Plaza area. The first was at the Food Truck Festival along the Charles a few months prior. On that first visit, I tried their braised beef dumplings, which I had overheard others enthusiastically gushing about. Maybe it was the high expectations created by this free advertisement, but I found the dumplings to be a bit doughy and the beef filling to be rather dense and chewy. I wasn't impressed. read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - The Double Awesome - scallion pancake sandwich w/ two slow poached eggs, VT cheddar, local pesto $7 - 10/2012 - Caterers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

It was my pleasure to host my son's rehearsal dinner last Saturday. The important first piece was to meet the caterers who came before-hand to check out the kitchen space and appliances. They were professional and wanted to make the event special. They set up a bar on the porch, served hos d'oevres, and then had the kitchen table be the site of a buffet style dinner. The food was fusion Asian, baked fish was fantastic. They also.made lobster rolls and clam chowder to honor the Boston theme. They were a pleasure to deal with, before, during, and after the dinner. I give them the maximum score possible in my assessment. read more

I got 3 different dumplings to try them all from the farmers Market in Wayland. Pork & lemongrass, cheddar & scallion and curried sweet potato. These were absolutely amazing. They are very generous with the portions and each include a dipping sauce. I think the pork & lemongrass was my favorite but the other two were sooo good. These are fresh so I froze what I didn't eat right away. read more

I found Mei Mei to be a decent lunch truck. The food was certainly tasty, it just had a few flaws that give this truck an "A-OK" rating in my book. The Chorizard (play on "Charizard"?) is a bowl with chorizo, black beans, and carrots, topped with feta and fried shallots. The chorizo was flavorful, juicy and savory. The pickled carrots cut through the savory chorizo with a vinegary tang. The apple dressing that covers everything in the bowl is a good source of tangy flavor; the black beans need that extra kick, and the apple dressing helps deliver it. Unfortunately, I found almost no fried shallots. Towards the end of my meal, I found one sitting at the bottom of the bowl and thought to myself, "Oh right, there were supposed to be fried shallots in here". A big handful of fried shallots would have given a nice salty crunch, I missed them here. The black beans were hit-or-miss. Some were cooked great, but some were still a little hard. They didn't seem to have much seasoning on them, and were a little bland eaten on their own. The biggest issue I had, was that the bowl felt incomplete: there wasn't any rice, or some big base ingredient. It felt like I was eating all of the toppings to a rice bowl, just without the rice. Since it was missing a good base, it wasn't as much food as I'd like. The prices are a little steep for the amount of food you get. All in all, I'll visit Mei Mei every now and then if I'm looking for a lighter lunch. read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - Chorizard - Caterers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

First off - this a sibling run food truck. Which I think is amazing. I give them a lot of credit for being able to pull that off. If my sisters and I ran a food truck it'd be like watching an episode of Jerry Springer while someone made you lunch. So again, props for being a successful family run business! Secondly, free sample of a green tea macaroon? Yes please! I didn't even think I liked macaroons but I was ready to push an old lady out of the way to get seconds. (I only refrained because I didn't want the Mei Mei truck crew to think less of me, especially since they're going to be seeing me a lot). My third point - before I stop numbering my paragraphs - is that I haven't even finished eating my food yet but it's so amazing I felt compelled to right a Yelp review ASAP. I'd also like to note, that I generally have a strong dislike for Chinese food. I think I break down and order it about once or twice a year at the most. So for me to literally run down the street for Chinese food would shock most of my friends/family or at least have them think I was obscenely drunk midday at work. Ladies and Gentleman THIS is a food truck. Forget grilled cheese, forget gimmicky, forget cupcakes. Mei Mei Street Kitchen is what the Boston food scene has been missing - what makes us all salivate with jealousy as we watch food trucks from other states. Not only is the food fairly priced and delicious but it's also really creative and unique. I almost ordered the whole menu but with the lunch crowd I settled for 2 items - a giant scallion pancake stuffed with pulled pork, cheddar and a farm free egg. Oh not to mention spicy srirachi ketchup on the side (or slathered all over this concoction like a delicious fried crime scene in my case). The other a set of 3 braised beef and blue cheese dumpling, which are so big they could be a contestant on the biggest loser. The pancake sandwich is packed with flavor, soft and crispy at the same time with the perfect proportions of both cheese and pork. The egg just adds another punch of flavor. The scallion is worthy of some accolades itself and would put many chinese restaurants to shame. This "sandwich" is enough to make even the strongest vegetarian pretend the meat is tofu just to get a taste. The dumplings are stuffed with moist flavorful beef that tastes like its been slow cooked for hours. Unlike other recipes which incorporate blue cheese only to have it melt away into oblivion - the dumplings retain the full flavor of the blue cheese in every bite (without it being too over powering). I almost side stepped the homemade soy vinegar sauce but am glad I gave it a try. It adds another layer of dept to the dumpling. Alone they are just as powerful but with the sauce they transform into a powerhouse of goodness. Most of the people who ordered got the kale salad which looked amazing. I can't wait to try it next time. One of the biggest downfalls for most food trucks is the price of the items. You're paying for the novelty and not the meal. At Mei Mei the portion size/price is unmatched at any of the other trucks I've tried (or most restaurants for that matter). I paid $15 for the pancake, dumplings and a ice tea and am stuffed after eating only 1/2 of everything. Bang for your buck - they haz it! Also I should definitely mention their commitment to locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. For a small business just starting out to go the extra mile and help out the community as well as be eco friendly - it's great! Overall if you're looking for some quality, creative and well priced food with a friendly food truck staff to boot - definitely give Mei Mei a shot. I have pretty high food truck standards and they didn't let me down in the slightest. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this little slice of food lovers heaven on wheels. read more

I've been following this truck around Back Bay and eating there 3 days a week. I just can't get enough! It's one of those places where you want to try everything on the menu, but then what you got last time was so good that you have to get it again. Luckily they change their menu enough that it forces you to try new things. I've had all the scallion pancake sandwiches- pork, beef (cheese and other toppings vary on these), and the Double Awesome which they seem to always have (egg, pesto, cheese). I'm actually not really a sandwich eater...I know it's weird but I'm just not really a fan of bread. But these are amazing! Kind of like a cross between an overstuffed quesadilla and a really good thin crust panini...but just amazing. You can't go wrong with any of them. It's just a matter of what you're in the mood for. It's tough to crave the Double Awesome when you see all the delicious meat on the menu, but from a non-vegetarian perspective- the eggs are cooked so perfectly and it is deliciously satisfying. Their asparagus is the best asparagus I've ever had. There was also one day that they did boneless pork wings....incredible. And the porky rice ball (they do a beef one now) is always a good thing to start with. It's always the perfect amount of food to feel full but not overly stuffed. And I love that they use local foods and biodegradable products. And the sisters are sweethearts too! Love everything about it. PS....dying to try the dumplings and pork buns! Keep missing out :( read more

Um, the dinner menu is awesome. You should check it out. I had the 5 spheres of chicken and it was 5 spheres of amazing. Tender chicken (crispy skin), celery root mash, black rice w/beets (why were the beets not advertised? THEY ARE SO GOOD), and carrot chips (move over, kale chips!). Share it with a loved one.. or eat it by yourself. Seriously, it's that good. On the other hand, I know Mei Mei is deeply invested in the local farm economy and sustainable future. Are disposable chopsticks sustainable? Food for thought. read more

I eat at food trucks multiple times a week, and the Mei Mei truck is one of my absolute favorites. I've tried a variety of their foodstuffs - their standard "double awesome" - a scallion pancake sammy with a truly perfectly poached egg and local cheddar. It is *messy* but if you grab enough napkins, it's truly worth it. I've also sampled a variety of their rotating items - the kale salad with crispy panko. The rice porridge with beef short rib and pickled yummies. Their tofu dumplings. They often have a rotating bread pudding, and that's a lunch-time go-to for me. They even had a wheatberry risotto in recent past that tasted like mac & cheese. Nothing here is more than $7, and everything is amazing. They usually tack on some fancy asian fusion accouterment, they rotate their menu only to coincide with the season and what they can source from local farms, and they're nice as can be. Mei Mei, can you please come to BU more than just Thursdays? I need more of you in my life! read more

*New Rule** Any food truck that plays "Outstanding" by The Gap Band gets an automatic 5 stars :-) Not only did I get to rock out to my favorite old school jams while I waited on my braised beef scallion pancake, but I also got to be completely amused by their adorable tip jars! One is a piggy bank with the word "BACON" written on it, and the other is a kind of cardboard cutout thing with a face drawn on it, and the slot to put the money in is the mouth. lol. I meant to take a picture of it, but I forgot. Oh well. I went to the Boylston Street BPL location. The staff was prompt and friendly. I got my sandwich within 10 minutes of ordering. It was sooo good. The beef was perfectly seasoned, and the potatoes were nice and soft. The scallion pancake was great as well. It is a bit heavy with the potatoes and pancake and all, so maybe next time I'll try something a little lighter, but it was still good nonetheless. The sandwich was $8, which I happen to find a bit expensive for a sandwich, especially one of this particular size, so I suppose that would be my only criticism. Either way, I'm completely sold on this place. Can't wait to return! read more

Ahhhhh Mei Mei, we meet again. I had the pleasure of ordering off of their normal menu yesterday (had only enjoyed Food Truck Fest items last time) and it was everything I wanted it to be. First off, the service was just as awesome as we had remembered. They clearly appreciate your business and do their best to send you off as a very happy customer (and certainly succeed). And now -- the food! I split the following with my girlfriend: 1. Double Awesome: Trust the name. Right as you take your first bite, the yolks in the poached/fried eggs burst and angels rejoice. The pesto is nice and earthy (and obviously fresh), and the spicy ketchup that comes with it is the perfect accompaniment. 2. Grilled Chipotle Nutella Bun: Normally fried, but their deep frying wasn't running so they offered to grill one on the flat top for us. Honestly, both my girlfriend and I would be perfectly happy eating them grilled all the time. The bun was incredibly soft and flaky, but with a great crunch on the outside thanks to a solid sear. 3. Blowtorched Corn w/Smoked Chicken Fat: Again, it's everything it sounds like. The blowtorch brings out all the juice in the corn, while the chicken fat adds the salt and extra flavor that makes this the best corn you'll ever eat. Additionally, we had some of their iced tea, which was simple and enjoyable. We also took some grub for the road -- she snagged some of their chilled peach/tomato soup, which also tasted super fresh and had a little bit of heat from the jalapeno peppers. I left with fried beef dumplings and stuffed my face silly with the incredibly tender and flavorful shredded beef that I remembered from the festival. I wish MMSK were in the area more often than the occasional Thursday for the Medford Farmer's Market, but I'll take what I can get. read more

We had the pleasure of seeing them at World's Fair in Cambridge. Their presence blew all the other vendors and lines out of the Charles River. It was just that good. They weren't kidding about the 'street kitchen' part either - the truck is massive and has at least six people working on nom noms at all times. My favorite though, has definitely got to be the Bacon Bit Sammich. The best way I could describe it is if you took a Vietnamese sandwich (banh mi), flattened it into a panini/crepe, and threw bacon in it. The all around crunchy goodness made the wait well worth it. Did I mention one of the employees (Alex?) got out of the truck and personally hand-delivered it to us across the street? That small act sealed the deal for one of my favorite food trucks in the Boston area. I hope that every event I go to will be graced with their presence. Here's another secret they shared with us: Sometimes there's a secret menu that varies daily depending on what fresh ingredients they have for that season. Be daring! Be Mei Mei! read more

I don't know why Mei Mei was virtually the only food truck I hadn't frequented until now. I've only had the Double Awesome, but I'm sold. Who can fight with a sandwich made with scallion pancakes, poached eggs and pesto? I had mine with spicy ketchup, but would definitely check out the Sriracha Aioli next time too. Judging by other reviews, pretty much everything they make is worth the (not super low, but reasonable) price. Nothing on the menu is over $7 or $8. As an added bonus, they take credit, LevelUp AND Square in addition to cash. Looking forward to their return to Clarendon on Friday. Oh, and I almost forgot -- they're pretty quick and the folks who run the truck are super friendly. Pretty much perfect. read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - The Double Awesome at Mei Mei Street Kitchen - Caterers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I love the vibe of this place. Most BU campus restaurants skimp on service and quality simply because it's catered to college students. This place is different. They completely transformed the old Gigas (RIP) and created a trendy, NYC modern Asian fusion vibe. I've never tried the food truck, but the menu is definitely interesting. We got the Double Awesome and slow cooked beef rice porridge. I got the double awesome with pastrami, and there were so many flavors in my mouth! I even ate it with their sriracha and soy sauce aioli.. It was delicious and I definitely want to come back to have it again. The scallion pancake wasn't too oily and the pesto and eggs added a great touch to the entire sandwich. It's a unique sandwich you won't be able to find anywhere else! My boyfriend got the porridge and there was so much going on.. I don't know how I felt about it. It was garlicky, and had some vegetables and meat but something seemed to be missing. Maybe I don't really like porridge? It was good for the snowstorm weather though! And it's HUGE. The staff was really funny and helpful in helping us choose something. They had limited menu when we came in but said they could accommodate that since we came right when they were switching over to dinner (3-5 pm). Their bathrooms are so clean, they smell good and have cute decor. That says a lot since usually bathrooms suck around the area. Try this little gem out! read more

Mei Mei Dumplings - Double awesome with pastrami and slow cooked porridge with beef - Caterers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Went to Sowa on Sunday. Alexandra M saw Mei Mei and was like Mei Mei!!!! She was super excited so we chose Mei Mei for lunch. Double-awesome is double fantabulous. Two scallion pancakes with pesto, cheese and two oozy eggs. Wanna add bacon or ham? Go for it. It's delicious and the epitome of Asian fusion comfort food. It's like a quesadilla. Tasty stuff. Sriracha aioli was a great dipping sauce. I didn't get to try the ketchup. The corn fritters were good but a tad bit dry. Some cheese should be in the middle? Or more corn in the batter? They were tasty. The sriracha aioli complemented this well. Oh I'll be back. :) read more

I love this food truck. So excited they're getting their own restaurant in Boston University's South Campus area. Must gets: [1] Double Awesome. Occasionally is listed with vermont cheese, although I prefer it without. The pesto sauce is a vegetable pesto, and safe for peeps with nut allergies. Comes with choice of 'spicy ketchup' which is a mix of ketchup with Sriracha sauce. [2] Corn on the cob dish. Sweetest corn ever that is torched truck-side! Comes with a choice of one of two butter toppings- bacon-flavored or spicy. For a more heart healthy option, I politely declined the butter.

I can't say enough good things about Mei Mei. I love it's casual atmosphere and creative food that makes you feel like home. You can tell a lot of love goes into the foods - especially the dumplings! My personal favorites are the pork dumplings, corn fritters, and the double awesome. Also, if you can get to a dumpling making class, you have to go! It's fun, intimate, and you get to take home your creations! read more

i have heard good things about this food truck and was excited to go and bring my out of town guests there. Granted, my friends and I were told that the scallion pancake sandwiches were the item to try and the day we went this was not available on the menu. Instead we decided to get dumplings. First, we were disappointed by the quantity of dumplings and the price for them($6 for three dumplings). Yes these dumplings were bigger than a regular size dumpling, but $6? At least adding another dumpling would offset that hole in my wallet. We had some ham terrine and cheese dumpling. The cheese was undetectable and the filling wasn't something to write home about. I was expecting a saltier ham taste. I also got the corn torched with chicken fat. It was tasty but it wasn't very warm. I had the expectation that the corn would be as flavorful(or interesting) as Mexican grilled corn with cotija cheese. My sister got the berry crimson tea, which for $2.50 was a small amount. The whole sustainable, freshly sourced food items philosophy that Mei Mei upholds is the one thing I like about them. Unfortunately Mei Mei and other restaurants/food trucks have made me wary of fusion foods(however, if you love fusion foods, perhaps this place is right for you!) Overall, we were disappointed and still hungry. I might give them another chance one day with another item but I really hate paying $6-$8 bucks to 1)not be full for lunch and 2)disappoint out of town guests. read more

I've been wondering about Mei Mei ever since I lived here in Boston two years ago, but as I'm wary of Asian fusion, I couldn't bring myself to try it until today. I picked up a double awesome with pastrami at South Station. My favorite part were the poached eggs--so ooey and gooey and really awesome. The scallion pancake was alright--it's a great wrapping, but what I love about scallion pancakes (the salty crispiness, the onion-yness) was lost with all the rest of it stuffing. The soy aioli did WONDERS for the taste, really transforming it, and overall it is a really solid sandwich but I wasn't blown away. That and it's a bit expensive for $9.50. Glad I tried it, but probably won't be coming back. read more

The dumplings were delicious, but the sauces were tradition and not exciting. I highly suggest coming up with their own unique sauces. We also got the corn fritters and rice pudding, which were both good. The rice pudding tasted great because of the jam and mint toppings. read more

Fast-casual service with the restaurant-next-door hospitality and James Beard (nominated) quality food. I've been to Mei Mei for lunch, for dumpling class, for book release dinner club, and now finally for a regular dinner. So yes, I LOVE Mei Mei. The food is a creative spin on tradition Chinese favorites with a focus on locally sourced farm produce and meats and other ethical practices such as reduced waste. Why do I bring this up? For me, it's more than just delicious food (which they have) but their convictions and dedication to serving the community make me want to dine there even more. As for my experience, when we walked in, we were greeted with a smile from one of their friendly staff (Alyssa). We could have ordered the whole menu but there were only two of us. Dumplings and scallion pancake sandwiches are a MUST! I had one with pork and pickled veggies (like a Bahn mi) but also with crispy mushrooms and a tangy hoisin sauce (SO good!)The space is small but not tight. The natural light along with the white and wood finishes set a very comfortable atmosphere along with the shelf plants. The prices are commensurate with the quality. They also do pop-ups there, allowing chefs with new concepts to try out menu. I'm looking forward to trying some of those too! read more

Ever since I heard Boston has food trucks I want to try them all! But so many don't have vegetarian options unless you just want a side of something (and some don't even have that). Thankfully, Mei Mei has a few options. I got the scallion pancake with melted cheese, pesto and a 'slow cooked and fried' egg. I didn't know that 'slow cooked' also meant poached, so that was an unexpected surprise, just be sure to eat it over your tray otherwise the yellow of the egg will go everywhere! (Thankfully I was over the tray anyway....) The pesto was amazing and the cheese on a scallion pancake was something I think I will always ask for on scallion pancakes again. Maybe could go for more cheese though. But that's probably just because I love cheese. I also got blueberry ice tea which was pretty small...but I think there are actual blueberries in it. Staff were very friendly. read more

I loved the food, atmosphere & hospitality. My friend: "most Asian-American fusion restaurants are a hit or miss, this one is a hit." I like the concept of scallion pancakes that include traditional Chinese ingredients in a sandwich (beef broccoli). Irene (owner) and staff greeted us with a smile which was nice and made a positive impact on my day!:) I'll be back. read more

Literally just finished my Double Awesome 5 minutes ago and immediately had to run back to my desk and write a review. How long have I been missing out on the wonders produced by Mei Mei Street Kitchen??? I walked by on my way to Clover Food Truck or Bon Me without giving it a second glance, but (in my opinion) it's the best food truck on Dewey Square! So far I've only had one item from their menu (The Double Awesome) but it was so delicious I have to try everything else. The people running the truck were super friendly and helpful (when I told them to hold the pesto because I'm allergic to pine nuts, they quickly told me this was a nut-free recipe - score! - and told me what's in a traditional pesto and this is more of a chimichurri). The sandwich was delicious - crispy and tasty scallion pancake, the cheese was all melty and gooey, great pesto, and perfectly poached eggs (as in PERFECTLY POACHED...I can't even do this on my full stove so I have no idea how they accomplish it on a food truck). Can't wait to go back and try more! Oh - so I would totally give them a 4.6 or 4.7 if I could, the only detractor is the price.

Mei Mei Dumplings - The Double Awesome is just that - awesome and doubly so. - Caterers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Came in to MeiMei for the first time. WOW! First of all it's a fusion place which to be honest don't really thrill me. When I saw their menu on the wall that it was all locally sourced ingredients ... Local farms, humane pasture raised meats, etc... I said ok this place cares about their food. Had their Double Awesome an their Traditional Pork Dumplings with their cold press coffee. Awesome! Seriously everything was awesome. No frills, nothing fancy? Just simple portions, but each bite with so much flavor and love. You can seriously taste the love in their dishes. The house made pickles that come with the pork dumplings are great! Exotic and reminds me of Taiwan. Actually they looked like celery and not pickles at all but I got what they were aiming for... Seriously folks this is a legitimate place that is unique, fresh and obviously they Love what they do. I plan to return many more times! And you gotta love the super Mario bro's reference at the tip jar. ;) read more
