    Dongpo Pork Belly with Buns with chicken feet
    David X.

    Great hidden gem. The place specializes in Chinese Duck and the menu shows. Never had Meizhou style still but it was a treat with friends. Definitely recommend getting the roast duck family style with rice and noodles. The place is pretty clean and usually seating is available. The place mainly gets the bulk of its income from takeout and delivery. There have also been times where the nice lady gives me a few bonus appetizers if it's pretty late.

    We were finally able to dine in in this restaurant in person. There is a private parking lot which is great! The interior is very simple. Looks it was an office building before. We had ordered the same dishes we had in the past - Meizhou Pork Fried Rice and Dan Dan Noodles. The food still tastes the same and great flavor as usual. Good customer service too.

    I found this restaurant on Yelp. I stopped by for dinner. The restaurant is easy to find with plenty of parking. The inside of the restaurant is nice. The tables have a pullout drawer where the staff pulls out napkins and utensils. The waitress gave me a couple of minutes to look at the menu. I ordered the sichuan dumplings and the chicken potstickers. The sichuan dumplings were good. The sauce had a great flavor. It was smoky and tasted like mole to me. The chicken potstickers were okay. I wish the filling had more flavor. I dipped them in the sichuan sauce, and that helped the potstickers taste better. The customer service was good. I will be returning to try more dishes.

    Came in on a Thursday night around 6 and it was very quiet. The server was very welcoming and nice. It's a small restaurant with about 7-8 tables? The parking lot is huge. It also had a residential feeling to the entrance of the lot. So if you are not looking for the sign, it can easily be missed. I came here to try the beef noodle soup and it did not disappoint. It had a hint of herbal taste and the texture of the noodles was good. The noodle with minced pork was really spicy though. It had that numbing spice to it. The woodear and cabbage was okay. The cabbage was a bit crunchy for my taste. The red bean pork buns were so cute. I just had to order them for my daughter. She loved it. Perfect dessert to end the night. :)

    convenient spot for lunch -- fair prices but the same quality as the official meizhou stores. their best items are the spicy dishes and if u come during noon, it's usually not too busy

    I'm a big fan of Meizhou Dong Po restaurant, and always want to try this Meizhou Express. It's a little bit disappointed. 1) beef noodle soup. I love the portion of beef, but not very tender. The flavor is good though. 2) Dan Dan noodle. I ordered the non-spicy version, the soup base has more flavor than the beef noodle soup. Recommend this dish. 3) pork with the bun. The pork is very tender and well cooked, the Mei Gan Cai at the bottom is not authentic though. 4) Soup bun. The skin of it is quite different than traditional Xiao Long Bao. Not bad though. The location is easy to miss, watch out the small sign on the wall. Parking spots are limited but not hard on a weekday day time. The indoor place is clean and simple. 非常喜欢眉州东坡酒楼,但是这个快餐版有点失望。 没有烤鸭,有卤鸭。门帘不大、很容易开过。店内干净简洁,服务人员态度很好。 牛肉面:牛肉非常多,味道也好,但是牛肉不够嫩,软烂。 担担面:非辣版本。汤底味道比牛肉面更浓郁,推荐。 梅菜扣肉:扣肉很嫩,但是梅干菜没啥味道,不正宗。 汤包: 居然是发面的?味道还行,没有很惊艳。 总体来说,当作快捷餐厅来吃是可以的,和眉州东坡差距蛮大的。 这顿饭$50多一点。

    Came here with my bf since it's super close to my house ((: we ordered their cucumber salad, Meizhou shumai, spicy wonton soup and Dan Dan noodles. I absolutely LOVE their cucumber salad!! It's light and sour and garlicky and savory all at the same time yummers!!! Also loved their Dan Dan noodles, surprisingly more soupy than your average Dan Dan noodles but it still tasted super good. My least favorite was the spicy wonton soup, I didn't get a pic but it was underwhelming. It was literally like 12 wontons floating in a bowl of water with a few splashes of chili oil. Felt like it lacked flavor so I dipped it in the leftover Dan Dan noodles soup and it was perfect (: did the same thing with the shumai since it was slightly dry by itself.

    Dan Dan Noodle: 3/5 Bang bang chicken: 4/5 Soup Dumpling: 2/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 3.2/5 I've wanted to try Meizhou Express for a long time. It seemed to have authentic chinese food at cheap prices. The first part still holds true, but the prices have risen so much that they are now unreasonable. I spent around 43 dollars on soup dumplings, bang bang chicken, with two dan dan noodles, and I was still hungry afterwards. The dan dan noodles had a good amount of spice, it was a good kick but still edible. However, it was too salty, and wasn't especially unique. The bang bang chicken was the best part of the meal, a good mix of light sweetness and mala. However, it was also 10 dollars, the value of two delicious costco chickens... The soup dumplings were just dumplings, the soup inside had either seeped out, or was nonexistent. Ambiance wise, Mei Zhou Express gives you the impression that you've wandered into a small family restaurant in China. It may not be a spot if you're planning on impressing someone, but could serve as a nice quick lunch spot if you're in the area. The food came out as soon as I ordered. All in all, Meizhou Express is OK. Temper your expectations and you will be happy, have high expectations and you will come out sad

    Once again, amazing, we came here tonight and a few months back with a group of four. Either the group of four, we likely ordered 8 different dishes (pork belly, Dan Dan noodles, the Meizhou Pork buns, the chicken pot stickers, the dongpo crispy duck, sichuan dumplings, peppered beef, & cold noodles with shredded chicken and obviously rice) absolutely everyone at the table was blown away, especially with the duck. It was so funny, my friend was furious with how good the duck was and how much he liked it. The Dan Dan noodles are always amazing. They have a good amount of that hot numbing sensation but not so much that it interfered with anything else. The dungpo pork belly was an umami bomb & it's the right amount of sweet, also, it was sooo tender, with a hidden bed of cabbage underneath. Chicken soup dumplings, juicy and so flavorful, you can taste the love in those dumplings. Duck!! The duck!! Right amount of crispy, right amount of sweet. The restaurant is small and cozy, the hostess is always welcoming. You can technically have a large party but I would call ahead to make that arrangement. For come out pretty quickly. Never hear too long & that check in to make sure everything is good, which it always is. Perfect! Love it here!

    Stumbled upon this place while on our drive back from big Bear looking for a quick meal. If you like the Dongpo in Arcadia at the Santa Anita mall, you'll enjoy this as well as it is part of their franchise but on the cheaper side. My friends and I are obsessed with Szechuan food and this was the perfect spot for us. Will definitely be coming back if I'm ever in the area again. Huge bonus: no long waits and decently priced!

    Holy holy hell this place was amazing!!! Cucumbers 10/10 Szechuan Dumplings: 10/10 Sumai dumplings: 10/10 Pork belly w buns: 10/10 Dan Dan noodles 7/10 Chicken pot stickers 7/10

    They charged me $9.99

    Horrible service. They have old menus with old prices and then charge new pricing. They refused to refund me what I originally ordered $7.99 wonton soup and charged me $9.99 because they didn't update their menus. Women at the counter is also very unfriendly. Didn't even care at all and was very stern about not being able to refund what the pricing on their menu. It was an empty restaurant when I can during lunch time. I'd avoid coming here, seems like they're trying to scam customers with shady business practices!

    What? There's a Dongpo but cheaper and bigger portions? We've been to the Meizhou at the Westfield Mall in Santa Anita and boy, it's pretty pricey and the portions are gourmet-esque tiny sized. Yes, please. Recently, moved an office to Irwindale and a friend recommended we grab lunch at Meizhou Express. It's only about 10 mins from us, but things happened at the office and we ended up having to pick up to go instead. I was not disappointed - we ordered the cucumber salad, wood ear mushroom and cabbage, bang bang chicken, dongpo pork belly, and "Mr. + Mrs. Smith" which with the help of the Chinese translation = was the sliced beef in chili sauce. We also each got our own bowl of noodles - the cold sesame chicken noodles should not be underestimated, there's definitely a chili kick to it. The Dan Dan noodles had a good bounce and chewiness to it compared to other restaurants it had a lot of sauce which was really nice, personal preference and the spice was just right!

During the day they serve dim sum, and at night they switch over to Cantonese seafood dishes. I've eaten here many times for dim sum. They offer both traditional sit down service and a takeout counter in the front if you're in a hurry. The dim sum is solid and definitely hits the spot. Since I live nearby, it's one of those convenient spots I find myself coming back to. This visit was for dinner. We ordered a fish dish that was pretty interesting (honestly not sure what the exact name was), an oyster omelet, and clams with basil. Everything was tasty and definitely made me go through a couple bowls of rice. One thing I always appreciate is that they still give complimentary dessert at the end of the meal. We got green bean soup and some ma lai gao, which was a nice way to finish dinner. Overall, Ocean Bo is one of those neighborhood gems that has stood the test of time. It may not be the trendiest restaurant around, but it's reliable, serves good Cantonese food, and keeps the locals coming back.

    Perfect family dim sum experience for us…read more We took out my parents and in-laws for dim sum: my parents' very first time ever. We did wait about an hour, but honestly I didn't mind at all because it gave us a chance to relax, talk, and catch up as a family. Once we were seated, my parents were immediately impressed with the decor: elegant and cultural without feeling overly modern or cold. And can we talk about the tea kettles? They looked like literal pieces of art being poured at the table. Ordering was super easy with the QR code system, so my husband handled the whole spread: shumai dumplings, chicken feet, sesame balls, and more. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The ENTIRE table agreed on one thing: the chili oil condiment deserves to be sold in bottles to take home. It was that good. Smoky, just the right amount of spicy, and addictive. Now for the real test: my in-laws. They've been to *many* dim sum places and are not easily impressed. They declared this place to have the best chicken feet that they've ever had: meat easily sucked off the bone, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and perfectly seasoned. High praise coming from dim sum veterans. Most importantly, my parents' first dim sum experience couldn't have been better. They loved everything from the ambiance to the food to the overall experience. My husband and I want to come back to explore more of the menu because there's clearly so much more to try

The shrimp dumplings were just okay since the wrapper was a bit too thick. The chive dumplings were pan-fried with a crispy outside and flavorful filling -- definitely one of our favorites. The beef rice rolls were the best dish of the day: silky, flavorful, and perfectly made. They initially forgot our turnip cake, but when it arrived, I asked for it extra crispy and they absolutely delivered. Thick-cut pieces with a crispy exterior and soft center. The free chow fun was surprisingly good too, full of vegetables with great wok hei flavor. Everything tasted freshly made and steamed to order. Great value overall. The only downside was the service -- the server was a little slow and not very attentive. We tried to pay for at least 15 minutes before anyone noticed us.
