Mei Kitchen in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food was good and the people were friendly good service on a busy night

Our local takeaway and in our eyes the best Chinese around.

Portion and price terrible to what we are used to,for the price that they charge does not equal what you get

This place does not have any sauce for vegetable rolls. This is my first time to experience it. And also utensils are not automatically will be provided unless you asked for it 🤔🤦‍♂️

Just had an excellent meal from here, very good would definitely recommend

Food was nice and tasty and hot but do charge a fair bit for what you get otherwise all good

Had low expectations as a couple Cornish Chinese takeaways I’ve tried didn’t hit the spot…. However we were all pleasantly surprised! Food was great and we’d try again when next in Perranporth! Thank you :)

I am very sad to say that for my 21st birthday, his food looked nice and was appealing but tasted like I'd just been swimming in the sea. Unfortunately, too much salt can kill a meal. And that's most of our food is sat in a dustbin.

Absolutely shocked with the food and service, I used to get takeaway from here a lot but this time it was stone cold and the price was £10 total difference from prices online to their updated menu. I did get a refund for the wrong item delivered which was about a £3 difference. Won’t be ordering here again

The food was very bland, i got a sweet chilli beef and it was more veg than beef. I don't like vegetables. The beef i actually did get was sub par in itself. I got bbq spare ribs which were simply okay nothing special. I got this beef stu thing which i really didn't like. Didn't even finish it. In short: ok, not great. Infact not good at all

Great chinese definitely worth a visit bit expensive but worth it

Probably the best Chinese takeaway we have ever had. Thank you.

The food it self was very nice, however the portions are very small. Everything comes in one size so you would think it’s going to be large with the prices being so high. But everything is what I would class as a small from every other Chinese I’ve been to across the country. We spent £30 which would be normally be enough food for around 4 people, it wasn’t really enough to feed two. They need to be more generous with there portions and it’ll be a really good takeaway

Lovely holiday Chinese! Had the set menu if back in Newquay would return.

Food was ok, had a chicken curry, wasn't the most amazing flavour and food was not piping hot. Went outside and back to the car and realised there was no chips in the bag so had to go back. Really didn't like that rice doesn't come with the curry like it does with most other Chinese take aways. Put the price of my curry up by £4!

Had a delivery tonight and had to phone up to say how great the food was ! Been using since 2021 and tonights food has to be a new chef ,tasty fresh and lovely

Really tasty food, and cooked quicker than we were told the wait would be so expectations we'll managed. The Salt and Pepper squid was good, and I loved the Cantonese style sweet n sour King prawns.

The food is very nice. I would totally recommend eating here. You won't be disappointed

Worst overpriced Chinese take-away we have ever known ! Where most offer both free delivery and a free bag of prawn crackers for orders over £20 these charge for delivery and £3.20 for the prawn crackers ! Even if you spent £100 Food was bland and greasy, save your cash and avoid at all costs.

Wonderful outstanding staff.great food 👍👌👍

Simply the best Chinese food, staff are lovely food arrives promptly for delivery and swift if collected , prawn curry is amazing as is the chicken chow mein, salt and pepper dishes are great, we have been eating here 12 months this Friday every Friday and can honestly say not a bad thing to say perfect in every way lovely feel and lovely people and lovely food. Thank you

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!! This place is the best Chinese food we have ever had staff are amazing and the prawn curry is to die for , salt and pepper ribs are amazing also. Loved by my whole family. Always hot and comes on time perfect perfect perfect

Best Chinese food any of us have eaten! Wide menu and reasonably priced £75 for 6 hungry adults with really enough food for 8! Highly recommend if you want to enjoy a special Chinese meal.

Worst food ever, everything was dark brown, egg fried rice no egg tasted of oil, veg chow mein was tasteless, fried chestnut & bamboo shoots , weren't fried they were in a brown gloopy sauce & smelt weird. Chucked it in the bin. Never again

Great Chinese food, good portions at a reasonable price. Ordered by phone and it was ready to collect in 15 minutes Highly recommended

Currently holidaying in cornwall thought we’d treat ourselves to a chinese. Come 3am we are all violently throwing up that chinese, can only imagine what hygiene standards caused that. On top of that we had the privilege of paying £50 for the pleasure.

Not the best take away I've ever had. We had a selection of dishes and all tasted OK, with prices about average.

Awful food and awful experience. Mushroom curry had hardly any mushroom and was bland and waterey. They don't even know how to do decent salt and pepper chips.

Worst Chinese we’ve ever had, salt and pepper wasn’t salted or peppered and chips rock solid. The sauce on our sweet chilli chicken tasted like it was from a cheap packet. And the Thai sweet chilli sauce was cheap and horrible. Best bit was the veg spring rolls. Will 100% not go back.

Ordered a takeaway for 6 people for 7.30pm. Came out of the kitchen bang on time, piping hot, great food, good price. Recommend this place 100%.

good value for money and decent food, a bit disappointed we didn't get free prawn crackers, but maybe that's a Hampshire thing!

We had a few different meals from this Chinese while we are staying on holiday. We collected it from the restaurant and it was ready within 15 minutes. Very tasty food and would recommend to other people on holiday that are not sure from reading some older reviews. Great food.

Been here about five times since moving to Perranporth a month ago and must say they have amazing food. The service time is really quick and portion size is good. If you’re around perranporth definitely give them a try!

Best Chinese in Perranporth. Delicious salt n pepper chicken best in the UK, noodles cooked well n chips well salted. Good quality chicken none of that processed malarkey. Fantastic customer service. Amazing meal and quick service, i will recommend. Yes.

Im a local and this is second time in a row the food has been inedible the chilli beef had odd taste allso was like chewing a stick , the barbecue sause just tasted of vinegar, last time we ordered food from here we had same problem and when put in complaint was told we would get a large discount as food was terrible, and to be serving rubish like this when there not even busy is a disgrace , wont be using there service anymore its left me and my partner feeling sick

Tried this place for a quick take out on holiday, food not good at all 👎

We asked a local and was told this place wasn’t great…WELL…don’t believe everything you are told, fast delivery, fantastic service and flippin lovely Chinese!!! Definitely recommend this place!! Five star!!! Thankyou!!

Decided to try for the first time and was extremely pleased I did the food was fresh and extremely tasty would highly recommend will definitely be using again

Great food, I would call ahead and order as the wait can be around 30-60 minutes.

Fantastic Chinese, placed a large order to be delivered to the monkey tree holiday park, not only was the food excellent, it arrived on time and was piping hot. We will definitely return when next in the area. Thank you.

Had it twice while I holiday here can't moan food was very nice and tasty and reasonably priced

Lovely Chinese, very enjoyable, would recommend.

Came off the beach and fancied a takeaway. Fantastic service. The food was super tasty. Highly reccommend.

Lovely polite staff and the delivery was within a good time frame and arrived hot. We ordered a variety of food that we would order in out home town and this was very similar in taste and flavour

Food nice,shop needs updating and a good clean,I did this review 2021 I have just been back may 2022 and the take away area is much improved very clean and tidy well done mei kitchen it makes all the difference.

I was promised delivery within 40 to 50 minutes but the food actually arrived after over 90 minutes. The food was very good though -= shame, if the delivery had been on time it would have been 5*

As a true local to this Chinese this is by far one of the very worst takeaways. They take advantage of the fact there aren’t any other options locally. The food remains bland, flavourless and expensive. We won’t be ordering again and I’ve had better ping meals from Morrisons. Such a shame they don’t remember their locals during the seasonal period too

Had food from this Takeaway during our holiday in Cornwall. Great staff, fast service and good food. Easy to find this place in this small town. We see this kitchen was really busy delivering customers' orders and also collecting their orders.

Disappointed. Not up to the usual standard we have come to expect of this establishment. Hopefully only a temporary problem as I would like to revisit. Being a local it would be a shame to not enjoy this takeaway food as before.

Not that nice. King prawn curry wasn't very good big chunks of raw onion and the prawns We're tasteless and very rubbery. Worth 2 stars in my opinion..

Excellent food and delivery service to Perran Sands Holiday Park. Delivery driver was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended

Having read mixed reviews, we gave this place a try. The service was quick and efficient. More importantly, the food was great. We had the D menu for two. It was ready in 20 minutes and all of it was delicious. Recommended.

Wow. What a fantastic Chinese takeaway we just ate. Everything was cooked to perfection. The portions were large and appropriate (plenty of cucumber and spring onion with the duck). The seaweed was unbelievable. Don't normally leave reviews but this is well deserved.

Great meal last night, generous portions (enough left over for my husband to take to work!). Good quality meat, the spare ribs were yummy. We have been to other Chinese takeaways & the food has been very bland but Mei’s Kitchen was full of flavour....

We always order from here when we are in Cornwall ..... fantastic food and delivery to our holiday property ......... amazing service

We have just spent a great week on holiday and ordered a take away one night. We were very reluctant to order after reading some of the reviews and I should have gone with my instinct this has to be the worst Chinese I have...

Just bad food at inflated prices. Wish id listened to the bad reviews . Had a few different bits ribs ok but prob 2 ribs chopped up so a rubbish portion . Shredded chilli beef terrible quality and quantity that bad im unsure what they...

That’ll teach me for going to a Chinese take away whilst away on holiday! Not only were there 2 dishes of my order missing, the dishes which I received were nothing short of awful. My initial thought was to phone and enquire about my missing...

Amazing food and service. Does gluten-free options. Always happy to help.

Had a family holiday and we all decided on a Chinese. The last time we came 3 years ago this was the best Chinese takeaway. However this time was awful the chicken was slimy & it was very salty.

The takeaway was reasonably priced and we phoned it through knowing it would be busy. They gave us a time, but when we went to collect had to wait another 30 minutes, Chow Mien was a bit dry, Singapore fried rice was nice. There are...

Excellent food, adjusted to suit individual taste and always the same great quality. Home delivery service is a welcome addition.

2nd time in 3 weeks our food has been half hour late and cold. I always give a good tip but thats it for me and us at pencrennow who live here all year round wont buy again

Came here for a takeaway on our 1st night in the area , wife wanted Chinese so my daughter and myself left the holiday park to come here for a meal , Well the food was good but we waited over an hour for it...

Nice food. Quick service. Partner wasn't so keen on his meal but that's just personal taste.

Waited 2 hours for a meal last night when it finally arrived we were given the wrong meal 5 minutes later the driver came back with our meal which I can only describe as a bag of slop as the lids had came off the curry and black bean meals and it was all slopping around in the bottom of the bag. So had to send it back and go hungry

a minute agoNEW I think 2 stars is generous in this case. More generous than Mei Kitchen's offerings. Usually if we order a meal of £10 -£15 or more, you can count on some prawn crackers thrown in eh? We spent over £60 and no...

Possibly the best Chinese meal we have had in ages. Ordered to collect. Ready in 25 minutes, hot and absolutely spot on. Do not understand the poor reviews on here. Try it, you won’t be disappointed….

Not had a Chinese from here before so we thought we would give it a go. It was really nice, maybe a little dry but as I put sweet and sour sauce on mine it didn’t really affect me. It was very nice though and...

We ordered from here one of the nights for the family. All had different dishes and extras. Really tasty and hot food, fantastic house special rice and ribs. We will make this one of our regular stops. Thank you

Just had a fantastic meal from the mei kitchen, prompt service on our pre order when arrived will definitely be using again

We hadn't had a takeaway from here before so, to compare it with one of our previous favourite places, we ordered our usual Beef in Black Bean Sauce, Sweet and Sour Chicken Cantonese Style, Singapore Hot Noodles and Egg Fried Rice. It was ready for...

Regulars here for a reason. Never had a bad meal in 6 years :) highly recommended

I had a Chinese from here whilst on a holiday at the local camp site . The Chinese was good couldn’t really fault it although a bit pricey .

Got food for my family and I am Wednesday 24/03 and the food was absolutely gorgeous. Really lovely staff too!

Tried this takeaway because the other one (jade house) was closed Had a chicken chow mein very very dry went in the bin..partners curry was awful as well I have lived in Perranporth 25 years and have seen at least 3 name changes in that time and all have been just as awful.. Never again ..I never complained because it was late at night and just very disappointed given the high google score ..those reviews must be by their mates..So trust the reviews of the ones that say they are on holiday or don't live local

A fantastic meal again from Mei Kitchen! Brilliant Chinese Takeaway with lovely staff and a hard working team on the toughest night of the year! Mei Kitchen is always super tasty, I always grab 2 days worth of food! Their Foo Young meals, Chow Meins, pancake rolls, you name it, just everything is great so I can always choose something new knowing the flavour will be brilliant! A special thank you for the team Today as with all that is going on, takeaways were slammed and the staff received a lot of negativity and aggression which just shouldn't be. But they delivered as normal and the meals are worth the wait. Best wishes for the New Year!

Possibly the worse Chinese take away we had. While on holiday we have ordered a takeaway meal as a treat. Chicken balls were dry and not nice to eat and Chicken cashunut was flavourless. Chowmein was dry and tasteless. Not recommended.

Quick service. Good food. Staff lovely

Fantastic. Absolutely delicious. Excellent quality and piping hot. Really enjoyed it. 👍

Very tasty meal. Delivered to a campsite with no issues. Was so good we ordered 3 times during our 2 week stay :)

I really enjoyed my meal, unfortunately they got my husband's wrong, but we didn't realise till we got home.

Away on an anniversary break with my wife we followed the reviews from trip advisor and google to visit this place for an evening meal. After ordering and being told it’s a 30 minute wait we decided to walk around Perranporth shops to take the time up. Returning on time for our meal we sat and waited a further 45 minutes .. in this time we witnessed several frustrated and one angry customer waiting for food also. The time we had to sit around and wait gave me plenty of opportunity to look anywhere and everywhere and couldn’t help but notice dirt everywhere.. filthy windows, door handles, unhygienic faux leather seats and dirty floor, dirty ceiling with lights not working (one out of six lights) I suspect one may have an accident in there after sunset. Considering the current environment with COVID 19 I wander how this place is open, and come to think of it I didn’t notice any food and hygiene certification on clear display as it should be. Eventually when our order was called we collected and made our way back to the place we are staying 5 minutes up the road.. the food was luke warm at best, chips were cold and hard, chicken chow mein was bland and tasteless, ribs were somehow tasteless, crispy beef was over crisp and tasted bland also. The lady who passed us our order did apologise for the long wait however in reality and apology for the poor service, dirty environment and poor food would have been more applicable.Avoid this place at all costs, very shoddy, whoever gave this place excellent reviews really has not got any kind of tastebuds or are comparing it to scraps found in bins. Not sorry to sound so harsh, it’s just all true. Seriously considering calling environmental health about this place and telling anyone I know who visits Perranporth to swerve the place and there is people I know who have booked to stay where we’ve been staying.

22/08/2020: Our once a week visit for top quality food from Mei's was only spoilt last night by the ignorance and rudness of some of customers collecting their food. I was only in the premises for 10 minutes and witnessed 3 seperate angry and inconsiderate people having a go at the clearly very busy staff. Small businesses in Cornwall struggle to survive through the winter then a massive influx of people in the summer puts a great strain on on fast food service. Raising your voice and pointing out the completely obviouse will not make your food arrive any faster, especially on a Friday and Saturday night!!!! We placed our order and were told there was a 40 minute wait, that gave us a choice and we chose to order. 40 minutes later we received our food and as always, it was delicious!!!!!Patients is a virtue!!! But clearly it something that many need to learn!!! Reflected by the fact that this is the first time I have ever written on Trip Advisor!!!@Cheers guys you do a great job xx

Just had our meal delivered to a campsite called Anchor Barrow. Food was hot and delivered on time. Absolutely loved the food. All of it was spot on and we'll be ordering again soon 😃

Suggest with really good reviews decide to try those Chinese food ... Unfortunately me and my family where really disappointed... The food even those taste like Chinese and instead of sweet and sour prawns I received chicken but doesn't matter as the sauce wasn't edible...

Avoid unless you like bone dry food. My wife had chicken chow mein which was awful. Very little chicken

Had a take out the other night and was not disappointed.We were on a caravan park about 3 miles away and they delivered to us.We had the szechuan beef which was great, special chow mien also good.My daughter also highly recommends the wontons

Really love the food from mei kitchen, we have only ever had take away from here, but the people on the phone are always accommodating with my order, and the delivery lad is always polite and on time.

First visit here whilst on holiday,ordered in shop & only had to wait 15 minutes to pick up,very tasty & big portion sizes & great prices,would order from here again if lived locally.

Very nice,made an order while on holiday.wiuld reccomend

Was average with above average prices

Fantastic, one of the best tasting Chinese I've had...

Really great food we have never had a bad meal. Staff are all friendly good prices to

Wonderful service always a smile and and conversation certainly made to feel welcome nothing to much trouble. Then we get to the food always tasty and hot speedy service and a delivery service available cannot recommend this place more.

Excellent food and customer service. Very recommended.

Fast delicious service in early evening

So after a 4.5 hour drive to get to Perranporth and a late night the night before, Chinese was what I wanted and Chinese is what I got! It’s was delicious. It’s a shame that it is so far away from my home as it would definitely be a regular place to go. Quick service and fresh food. All 6 of us enjoyed it.

We have been coming here over a number of years and seen lots of changes, you don't know what to expect from one year to another. We have had good food and poor . We have had really long waits over 1.30 min and we have had normal waiting time. The inside waiting area leaves a lot to be desired but don't let this put you off. Worth a try if struggling to decide.

After a 5 or so hour drive myself and my partner wanted a nice Chinese, this one was absolutely gorgeous. It had a lot of choice on the menu, our orders were exactly as we had requested. Our food was prepared and cooked from fresh in ten minutes, the food was a very generous amount, it tasted beautiful! We was so impressed with the quality and taste that we needed up going back a couple of days later! We define recommend this Chinese :-) the prices are not too bad either.
