Our favorites for takeout were better in person: - Walnut shrimp: good mix of crunch, sweet, and salty without drying out the shrimp - Yu Xiang eggplant: not too spicy and goes well with the creaminess of the eggplant; so good on top of rice - Red bean buns: good if you're a fan of red bean and want something a little sweet Other things we've tried: - Pork dumplings in red chili oil: a little too oily for my taste, but my husband likes them for the spice - House lo mein and house fried rice: solid options if you want a standard dish that will please all palates - comes with beef, chicken, and shrimp - Hot and sour soup: my parents both enjoyed these Overall, a satisfying meal both in person and for take out!

We got an array of standard fare as well as some things that I don't normally see on menus of other Chinese restaurants around town. The dumplings were good, though I was underwhelmed by the lack of spice on the Spicy Pork wonton dumplings. The flavor was very good, but it was not spicy at all. For entrees, we got Curry Chicken and Cumin Lamb. I'd never had Cumin Lamb before, and it rocketed to the top of my favorites list! It was gorgeously flavorful, fragrant, and spicy, warming as I ate. The spiced oil soaked into the rice, spreading the flavor to every last grain. It's really lovely and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is bigger than it appears from the outside, with a bright, cheerful ambience. Despite being busy, it never felt too loud, which was nice. The servers worked as a team and were very attentive. It was a great meal!

Food: (4/5) Hummingbird nest or something like that:(4/5) It's a bit bland, but it has a good variety of shrimp, scallops, snow peas, and other vegetables on a crispy shell. Good low sodium option in my opinion. Walnut shrimp: (3/5) I'm not the biggest fan of sweet and salty foods, but it was pretty savory and crunchy despite the sauce. Pork intestines: (5/5) These were so crispy and oily. The spicy aroma from the peppers also isn't that unpleasant. Overall a very oil heavy dish and just as delicious. I did order another dish, but it wasn't that outstanding and I forgot the name of it. Service: (5/5) Water refills were frequent and there wasn't much else to it. Everything was quick and efficient.

For example, in the middle of taking our order - the server asked the gentlemen at the table right next to us who just sat down, "What would you like to drink?" while standing talking to me. Perhaps a little training inside and outside the kitchen would raise the tide across the board.

Promptly seated, drinks brought out, order taken and food delivered fast, hot and correct. The background music was some chinese music tv station playing modern easy listening tunes and, along with the comfortable chairs and solid table made for a relaxing environment. The food? meh. You can see our order in the latest photo and how expensive it was. the Lo Mein was mostly tasteless and certainly lacking in thast "lo mein flavor." Although the meat was tender, the sauce was just a sticky brown sauce. Surprisingly, the Spicy Pickle Tofu was essentially the same sticky brown sauce as the Lo Mein but with some fried tofu in it and without the noodles but nothing otherwise remarkable. You can tell by looking at my earlier picture attached. The old picture shows a bright and colorful plate. The dish today was a dark brown (you could hardly see the tofu from the beef) as everything was just dark. Eggplant seemed to have a similar brown sauce as well but the eggplant was otherwise tasteless. Nothing popped. Chicken bites were bland and not at all crunchy. Just fried to soft texture but no real flavor. According to our server, the menu was just recently updated about a month ago. We noticed because one of our favorites was the Fried Taro Pie which is now gone from the menu and the server said yes, that's right. Maybe this place has a new owner or chef, but it's no longer in my top asian restaurants for Tucson.

Rangoons were perfectly crispy, while the chow fun had a delicious wok hei flavor. The noodles and beef were tender and the dish had plenty of onions/green onions/etc. The only thing I didn't care for - and this is a personal preference - is that the chow fun did have a little more star anise/five spice flavor than I care for. Otherwise, the food was hot, fresh, and delicious! Definitely looking forward to returning for a dine in visit to try out the full, very authentic looking menu.

Mei Mei is always a pleasure; my boyfriend and I have been going once per month for about three years, but never reviewed them. I figured their 25 year anniversary and remodeling was the perfect time to leave a review. I honestly have never had better Chinese American food so long as I've lived in Tucson (20 years). The crab puffs are delicious and always fresh out of the fryer, and their chicken dishes are delightful. Perfect, crispy batter on the outside, fresh, juicy chicken on the inside. While I have mostly remained with the chicken dishes, the rest of the menu is just as wonderful with a wide variety of dishes to sate just about any craving. The wait staff is always sweet and professional, cheerfully seating you quickly and providing excellent service throughout the meal. Though there is a bit of a language barrier, it hardly affects their infectious positivity and service. The newly remodeled interior is simple and understated, but modern and clean with plenty of space. Prior to the remodeling, the restaurant was a little tired looking, but now looks rejuvenated and up to date. Mei Mei will always be a pleasure to eat at, and I relish the opportunities I get to bring family and friends to experience it. read more

Delicious Food and Warm Service at Mei Mei in Tucson I recently dined at Mei Mei Chinese Restaurant in Tucson, and while the decor may be simple and unassuming, the food and service truly shine! The menu offers a fantastic variety of traditional Chinese dishes, and everything we ordered was flavorful and freshly prepared. The flavors were authentic, and the portions generous. I especially recommend their [insert a dish you'd enjoy, e.g., Kung Pao Chicken or Beef Chow Fun]--absolutely delicious! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Despite the no-frills ambiance, the warm hospitality more than made up for it. Best of all, the prices were very reasonable, offering excellent value for the quality and portion sizes. Mei Mei is definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for tasty Chinese food in Tucson without breaking the bank. Will definitely be back for another meal! read more

Kung Fu Kitchen: A Culinary Roundhouse Kick to the Taste Buds…read more Annette and I were recently introduced to Kung Fu Kitchen by some friends who clearly understand the importance of good food... and apparently have been hiding this place from us for far too long. Let me start with the eggrolls, because these deserve their own paragraph, possibly their own zip code. These are not ordinary eggrolls. These are eggrolls that make other eggrolls question their life choices. Crispy. Perfectly browned. Packed with flavor. The kind of eggroll where you take one bite and immediately start calculating whether it would be socially acceptable to order six more and pretend they're for the table. I'm officially declaring them the best eggrolls in town. If there is a better one somewhere, I assume it is guarded by monks in a mountain temple and requires a three-day hike to obtain. Annette and I ordered the Mu Shu Chicken, which arrived looking like it had just graduated with honors from the University of Deliciousness. The flavors were bright, balanced, and so satisfying that I briefly considered applauding our server. Our friends ordered two other dishes that also deserve honorable mention: * A lamb dish that was rich, tender, and deeply flavorful * Chicken with wide noodles, which looked so good it triggered mild plate envy across the table If you've ever had dinner where everyone keeps saying, "You have to try this," and suddenly the table looks like a food-sampling convention -- that was us. And then there was the white wine, which was crisp, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the meal. I'm not a sommelier, but I know two things about wine: Is it good? Should I have another glass? The answer to both questions was yes. The whole evening had the kind of relaxed, happy vibe that comes when good friends introduce you to a place they already love. By the end of dinner we had: * Empty plates * Happy stomachs * A new entry on our "go back soon" restaurant list Final verdict: Kung Fu Kitchen doesn't just serve dinner -- it delivers a culinary flying kick straight to your appetite. And those eggrolls? Let's just say if they ever start selling them by the dozen, I may need professional supervision.
