    4 seasons - delicious
    Eloy G.

    I have an office nearby so decided to try it for lunch. I was a little skeptical because the restaurant looks old from the outside but don't let this stop you as it has stopped me for months. Finally decided to try it and just an overall great experience! The service provided by the young ladies was amazing! Ariana was our server and she was spectacular and just a joy! Very welcoming, friendly and made me feel at home and sat me quickly and got my drink order fast as well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was just your mom and pop local Chinese diner with fantastic food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now for the food! Good clean food that was not too greasy or over cooked or fried. Just cooked well and with good flavor and seasoning. And the process! These are some of the best prices in the entire state of California and for the portion you get your money's worth for sure! If you are in area this is must eat place!

    Orange Chicken Lunch Plate
    Kris N.

    Came in expecting this to be a solid spot. So I ordered their lunch special which includes rice, protein for around $11.50 (depending on the protein) with the option to upgrade to fried rice and chow mein (came with soup and an egg roll but I'm not sure if that's because I did the upgrade) for just about $1 extra. I think these days it's hard to find a meal deal for this price with this portion size. I had ordered the Orange Chicken. My meal came with a ton of fried rice (I opted for no chow mein) and plenty of meat. I actually didn't finish the rice and soup, I was pretty full by the end. The fried rice wasn't too bad, pretty standard. The soup a tad bland but it was OK. I wish the egg roll came out the same time as the rest of the food but I'm guessing they forgot it initially. Anyways it was piping hot when it came out with a nice crisp. As for the chicken itself, the sauce wasn't really spicy although it had the spicy symbol. And I wish it was more crunchy, it was mostly lacking in crunch with just a couple of pieces being decently crunchy. I had expected this would happen because I thought it came out way too quick. As for service, there were 2 people ahead of me in line I believe and after the woman working the counter finished up with them, I was promptly seated. She was always smiling and was very pleasant the whole time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As for the interior, there was plenty of seating and tables and it was clean enough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The positives: great price/portion size lunch deal, quick and pleasant service. The negatives: need better timing and crunchier orange chicken.

    Food is awesome. The service is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always plenty of food. 5 star definitely.

    Cream Cheese Rangoons
    Melody C.

    Average Chinese food. When I was younger, I really enjoyed Mei Wei for their family combo meals. However, when I decided to revisit after seeing all the Tik-Tok hype, I'm sad to say that I was disappointed. For takeout, I ordered the Garlic Chicken combination plate and the Cream Cheese Rangoons. I was really underwhelmed with everything. The Garlic Chicken was not really garlicky at all. It also seemed to have been over cooked. It was incredibly stringy and dry when I bit into each piece. The pieces were almost grainy. The chow mein was only good when combined with the sauce coating the chicken. The Rangoons were alright. They were pretty filled with cream cheese but the fried wrapper was very oily. I'm really hoping this was just a one-off bad experience since the food used to be good, but I definitely wasn't satisfied with my meal this time around. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a small restaurant so in the evenings especially, it can get busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you want to do take-out, call ahead much earlier than when you plan to arrive. If not, you'll be waiting for a while inside as they cater towards the dine-in crowd. I hope next time is better!

    I always order takeout from here. And they always get my order RIGHT!! Foods great, attention to detail and happy . I thought I would do the service to everyone to pick up a new menu and let you know the current prices.

    Was recommended to Mei Wei as I was craving Chinese food so badly and had yet to find a good spot here in Modesto. We placed an order for pick up and were quoted 20 minutes. We arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes later and everything was ready to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is pretty small but they were turning tables quickly for a Saturday night and everything seemed to be going smoothly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On the way home our car smelled amazing and we were so excited to get home and eat! Everything was very tasty and we will definitely be back to try more things. Our order included cream cheese wontons, house fried rice, house chow mein, broccoli beef, and chicken with two kinds of mushroom. The portions were huge and we had enough for complete meals 3 times over!

    We've been here at least close to 10 times now each and every time the staff is very welcoming and hospitable. Atmosphere is more like we are family versus customers . We are always seated promptly and orders are taken just at the right time . Our food has always been consistently delicious also . Today we ordered the orange chicken lunch and I tried their yellow chicken curry lunch both really good and their egg flower soup is really good too . Highly recommend this place for a lunch or dinner date or family outing they also do large trays for catering family get together or business luncheon . Today I was given a free gift from them it was such a special surprise I love hello kitty .

    Woh Wonton soup
    Tony J.

    This is my 3rd time eating here. Fast friendly service each time. The food is delicious and abundant. Today was the perfect time to try their Woh Wonton soup. Really tasty with a clear broth. The best I've had in this area. I ordered the regular size bowl, but will order the large next time because it's that good. Highly recommend Mei Wei. Prices are fair too.

My meal was only about $12-$13 and came with 3 items in the special, and great portions. It says the lunch special ends at 3 but they still let me order it at 4 which was nice. The service was extremely friendly and welcoming, and also super fast. They made sure my water was always filled and checked up on us constantly to make us feel satisfied. I definitely will be coming here more often.

Took my staff here and for 2 of them, it was their first time trying this Chinese place. Ordered on the dim sum menu- pork shu mai, shrimp dumpling, steamed pork bun. Since we did family style, I ordered for everyone but gave them option to choose an entree. Sizzling rice soup - staff loved it, simple ingredients of bok Choy, chicken , shrimp and crackling rice that's put on the soup at the table. 5 stars Mongolian beef - favorite for the first timers. One staff said she liked the taste and the crispy won ton. 5 stars. Pan fried - Hong Kong style chow mein - basically the noodles is toasted and crispy and the sauce with the meats (chicken beef shrimp) with bok choy is placed on top! I always get this and i recommend peeps to try it! My staff loved it. 5 stars Pork fried rice - usually I like the pink bbq pork style fried rice but this isn't bad. Not a lot of veggies so not colorful. 4 stars Garlic chicken- pretty good: lots of onions. Doesn't seem that garlicky to me. 4 stars Hot spicy string beans- needed some greens and this is pretty crunchy and tasty. 5 stars Service- lots of peeps working. When you ask boxes to go, they give you it but don't put the food for you. 4 stars Overall, good place to sit down and have dim sum or order Chinese food. Popular place for Togo orders

The restaurant is nestled in the cute downtown area of Hughson, their main street. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff and seated right away. We were there on a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, but the restaurant was packed with customers. The menu has an extensive selection of Chinese and Japanese dishes. I had the Bruce Li roll which had tempura shrimp topped with crab meat, salmon, tuna, spicy mayo and unagi sauce. I also 2 pieces of the Hamachi (yellowtail), miso soup, and spicy edamame. The fish was some of the freshest I've ever had - flavorful, definitely sushi grade, and I could tell that it also wasn't previously frozen due to the color and texture. The miso soup and the spicy edamame were well-seasoned and delicious. My nephew had a combination plate with orange chicken, broccoli beef, and chicken fried rice. One thing to note that was really nice is that the restaurant allows you to create your own combination plates, they're not set items with no substitutions. When our waitress brought my nephew's combo plate, the food looked freshly cooked and delicious! He ate every bite! If you're ever in Hughson, try the Hughson Asian Kitchen - the friendly staff and tasty food won't disappoint!

    Had lunch here while working in Modesto because it was nearby my location. Pretty disappointing…read moreChinese but the price for the amount of food was great. We called in an order for pick up, when I got there 15 minutes later it was ready and waiting. The 2 combo plates probably weighed 4 lbs in the bag. I honestly have no idea but it was hefty. The gentleman who helped me was also very nice and prompt. Unfortunately, the food was pretty lackluster. My orange chicken was miles away from crispy and the sauce was kind of bland. Also the chicken itself had that gross old chicken flavor that usually only comes from reheated chicken. The chow mein was also pretty bland. They did give chili sauce and soy sauce with the order, and adding those 2 things in spades did help with the lack of flavor. The cheese puffs were also disappointing. There was a good amount of crab in them, which is unusual for cheese puffs, however, the wrapper was thick and not crispy at all, mostly chewy, so all the enjoyable texture you expect wasn't there. My spouse had a combo with fried rice, beef & broccoli, and fried prawns. He liked it well enough but agreed it was pretty mediocre. The fried rice was pretty good but the beef & broccoli left a lot to be desired. In spite of the so so food, it's such a great price that it may be worth it to you. If you need a lot of food for not a lot of money, and you don't have high quality standards, this place will definitely take care of you.
