    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!

    Scallion Noodles With Beef

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Came here during my stay for a convention. Hit the spot!! Perfect portions and flavor is spot on!! Would definitely come back when I'm in town again! Restaurant was clean and relaxing and the staff was friendly and attentive :)

    I got the chicken dumplings and the char siu bao. The chicken dumplings were juicy and flavorful! I also really recommend getting the char siu bao's, it was a great balance of sweet and savory! Our server was very nice and the place was very modern.

    This place is definitely my new hyper fixation! I am HELLA obsessed with their Siumai! Like hella! The amount of shrimp & meat and the quality. Chefs kiss! It comes with 3 pieces but they are hugeeee and I feel full. This and a side of their cucumber salad. YUM. A perfect lunch! I also really liked their wonton noodle soup but the portions are too big for me.

    Previous reviews weren't kidding, the Shiu Mais are huuuuge! Must try, pretty good! We also got the beef ribs noodle soup, chili oil wonton, marinated beef, shrimp chive dumplings. We recommend the noodle soup, wonton, and dumplings. Not so crowded for sat lunch, good grab after visiting tech interactive in the morning. Most staff speak mandarin. The place is well lit and warm.

    Need a quick bites after working! Meimei saved me. Very fast service and the foods are affordable. The shiumai is my favorite, juicy and flavorful The store is cute and clean

    Perhaps a reason for their inflated glowing reviews?
    M. L.

    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!

    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.

    Basic ambiance with good dumplings. Completely fine and wouldn't write home about it but would come back as a local. All flavor, no fluff. Perfect for what I wanted.

Doesn't look customers in the eye, provides minimal service, hell, we had to ask the support staff to bring us chopsticks for food we had delivered to us 10 minutes ago, which grew cold. He never checked in on us, and we were charged 20% gratuity since we were 12 people. I don't mind auto-gratuity, but when the service is nonexistent, it really doesn't sit well. Overall it was a good experience, but the service is the deciding factor of anyone one of us 12 returning. Really unfortunate service from our waiter, other support staff seemed really nice, but he wasn't in charge of taking care of us, sadly. We were thoroughly ignored. Again, food was good, but service was so poor that this review is mainly negative. Edit: to top is off, delivered the wrong food twice, we cancelled our pork belly buns because they took too long/he ordered mala buns for us instead. Another addition: charged us twice for sea salt cream that we didn't order, and tried to say that we did order it.

We also ordered the crab rangoons, which unfortunately aren't pictured. They were perfectly cooked with a crispy, golden exterior and a light, creamy filling inside. We typically place our order over the phone and pick it up ourselves. The food is usually ready within 15-20 minutes and always tastes fresh and made to order. While there aren't many people dining inside the restaurant, don't let that fool you into thinking the food isn't good. This place is a local gem that seems to do a lot of takeout business. Overall, the food is consistently delicious, the portions are excellent, and the value is hard to beat. I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for quality Chinese takeout, and it's a place we'll continue coming back to again and again.
