Everything we ordered was delicious. Super tasty, we got the jumbo wonton noodle soup and it was perfection. We also order the house dumplings were the best specially when you pair with the chili oil sauce. 10/10 recommend! read more

Really enjoyed my meal at Meimei Dumpling! The beef noodle soup was flavorful with a rich, comforting broth and tender beef. The xiao long bao were juicy with plenty of delicious soup inside, and the shiu mai were fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. Everything came out hot, and the quality was consistent throughout the meal. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made the dining experience even better. One thing to note is that it's tucked away in the corner, so it can be a little easy to miss if it's your first visit. There's no dedicated parking lot, so plan on finding street parking nearby. Overall, it's definitely worth the visit if you're craving good dumplings and comforting Chinese food. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes! read more

Came here on a Friday night after a few drinks, so take this review with a grain of salt. I ordered the beef noodle soup, and the standout for me was the noodles. The texture was fantastic - chewy, bouncy, and cooked perfectly. The beef was also incredibly tender and practically melted in my mouth. That said, the broth was a little underwhelming. While it was comforting, it didn't have the depth I was looking for. It tasted a bit bland compared to others I've had. I also ordered the chili oil wontons (8 pieces). Unfortunately, they weren't spicy at all. I was expecting at least a little kick, but the chili oil was very mild. The wonton wrappers were thicker than I personally prefer, though the filling was generous and substantial. I ended up pouring the chili oil from the wontons into my beef noodle soup to add some extra flavor. They also provided a side of chili oil, but again, it wasn't particularly spicy. Overall, the noodles and beef were excellent, but I wish the broth and chili oil packed more flavor and heat. Maybe I'll try this place again when I'm sober. read more

Came here on a Saturday night. I parked at a garage that was roughly across the street. AMAZING food and service! The location is a very cute and chill spot, a little cramped. I will say xiao long bao is okay, nothing terribly impressive, BUT everything else was bomb! -Shumai are HUGE -Hargow are also HUGE -Scallion noodles blew my mind. Tasted like scallions in noodle form -Beef noodle soup exceeded my expectations. Flavorful broth, tasty beef, delicious noodles! Gets my Taiwanese taste buds stamp of approval! read more

Meimei Dumpling - Vegetable Dumplings (10Pcs) *Vegan - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

Do not let the high reviews this place has fool you, I had been waiting to try this place for some time as I work in the area and after eating here for lunch I was like "HOW IS THIS PLACE 4.7 STARS?" So here is my honest review, prices are good in that "right near a collage campus" affordable type of way but the food really quickly shows you why the price is what it is. We had several dumplings, the siu mai, wagyu dumplings, XLBs and chili wontons. The XLBs were the only decent thing. The chili wontons had no chili, the wagyu dumplings were over steamed and falling apart and the siu mai was nothing special. We also got the scallion noodles with beef and there were no scallions just scallion oil and it was SUPER bland, tried adding soy sauce and vinegar and chili oil we asked for just to try and make it taste like something. I'm also not sure what type of beef they put in top but it was hard to eat. The only thing I did like was the cucumber salad. Definitely not a place I would come back to. Definitely no idea what the high ratings are about. read more

Not bad but definitely could be better! I think if you come here, definitely go for their boiled dumplings over the soup dumplings. I really enjoyed their boiled wagyu beef dumplings! Very flavorful with tons of beef. The chicken & corn one was pretty good as well. However, the soup dumplings weren't very soupy and not the best. The meat sauce over rice was super tasty as well, but unfortunately we found a hair in it. I also enjoyed the cucumber salad which was really addicting and refreshing. The chili oil wontons were just okay; good flavor but there wasn't chili oil on it. Beef noodle soup was on the saltier side but not bad. We came about an hour before closing but everyone was still very accommodating and nice! The place itself was very clean and bright. I'd love to come back for the boiled dumplings and give em another chance! read more

Meimei Dumpling absolutely delivers. The beef noodle soup is incredibly clean and comforting--almost reminds me of a pho-style broth, light but still full of flavor. The beef is super tender, and the noodles have that perfect QQ chewiness that makes every bite satisfying. The dumplings are clearly handmade, with wrappers that hit the sweet spot--not too thick, not too thin--and packed with juicy filling. You can really taste the quality. Highly recommend the Wagyu dumplings--they're rich, flavorful, and totally worth it. Definitely coming back! read more

Saw the high ratings at this place, so I decided to give it a try but was really disappointed. I also saw they had a sign on the tables saying if you leave a good review, they give you free lava custard buns. So it's a gimmick. Service was good though. Beef noodle soup was small portioned & bland, the beef was tender though. Xiao long bao was plain and not juicy. Beef dumplings were bland and the spicy won tons sauce was salty. Cucumber salad is decent. read more

Was a bit suspicious about the high rating for this restaurant as I saw some folks with no or minimal past reviews leaving 5-star ratings for this place. Came here on a rainy day and saw that they offer a free lava bun if you give them a good review. Was that one of the reasons why they currently have a 4.8 rating on Yelp? My hubby and I still both tried their beef noodle soup and were disappointed that it didn't appear like in the past photos. The portion was significantly smaller, the beef was too fatty and I had to "search" the bowl for three small pieces of bok choy. So be warned! read more

Meimei Dumpling - Perhaps a reason for their inflated glowing reviews? - Chinese Near Me - San Jose, California

What a find! Whenever I come to the South Bay I crave dumplings. Tried Meimei Dumplings for the 1st time and very much enjoyed it. The soup dumplings were my favorite. I also enjoyed the cucumber salad on this warm evening. I also tried the pork buns. They were 'just okay" for me. The ladies at the counter were nice and attentive. I recommend trying this place. It's a small restaurant. Maybe 20 people max can sit in to eat. Give it a try. read more

If you're a dumpling lover in San Jose, Meimei Dumplings is a must-try gem in the heart of downtown. This cozy spot is known for its flavorful handmade dumplings with perfectly tender skins and juicy, delicious fillings that keep guests coming back. Even better, it's a true cheap-eats find, super affordable without sacrificing quality or taste. Located near San José State University, right across Philz Coffee, in that alley between 3rd & 4th street; it's perfect for students looking for a satisfying meal on a budget, and also great for families with children who want something tasty, casual, and comforting. From classic pork & cabbage dumplings to other savory favorites, every bite feels warm and authentic. We ordered just about everything on the menu, mom and dad really enjoyed everything. Our favorite is Siumai, Xiao Long Bao, chili dumplings, and the wonton soup & the smashed cucumber salad. Yummy. A delicious, budget-friendly downtown spot that hits the craving every time. read more

Came here on a rainy day and was perfect. I did a dine in order and take out for later. Service was friendly and fast. I took my time eating and didn't feel rushed. They came with ice cold water. The dumplings had good dough to filling ratio. The waygu beef was tender and not chewy. I wasn't a huge fan of the chili wonton - it wasn't as spicy so I did have to ask for extra chili.

The location is in the walkway between third and fourth streets. They mentioned that they get a lot of sun during part of the day so they have reflective glass which made us unsure if they were open. They were. The location has plenty of places to sit. But was a little warm and stuffy inside so we intended to just get our food to go. Girl at the counter was nice. The wait for our food was longer than expected and cost more than we'd expect for the small quantity of pieces that came with our order. The har gow were pastier than we've ever had before. Which worried us a bit. Soup dumplings were ok. Cucumber salad was fresh but lacking in flavor. All in all it was fine, but we've had better dim sum for less effort with parking, price, etc. read more

Great time at MeiMei Dumpling! MeiMei's located inside the Paseo walk near the Hammer Theater. The pricing is pretty decent, I got the Jumbo Wonton Noodle Soup which had 6 pieces in it for about $13. The service was pretty efficient, getting my order out within 7-10 minutes. I had ordered my soup without reading the description and later realized that it had shrimp in it which is something I can't have. I told one of the employees and they politely went into the back, spoke with the chef and fixed the problem. The soup itself was delicious. They provide you with two sauce packets, one spicy, the other one im not sure, but I added both to my soup and both packets complimented the soup and made it taste better. It was served pretty hot and the overall soup was delicious. I'll be coming here again soon. read more
