Mei Mei Chinese Restaurant in Liverpool

I come here with my partner once a month an the food is gorgeous especially the Singapore vermicelli with ok sauce an my partner gets the 3 meat special cold

The service was excellent! We were given plates for our birthday. The food tastes good too!

Service is good, food is delicious, price is affordable also. We have around 24 people (2 tables) and ordered at least 8 dishes for each table, price is around £17 per people. And after the dinner, there is a free sweat red bean soup for each one of us also.

Absolutely an amazing chinese restaurant!! It's difficult too find one these days but they always deliver quality food. Be it whether you collect or have a delivery always amazing!!!!

Ordered it online for delivery. On time lovely delivery man. Great presentation of the dishes an it was delicious.

Food was slimey and very underwhelming. Server was rude and literally threw our food onto the table. It was strange as another server started to plate up my food even though she didn’t know what I wanted from the selection we ordered. Food was overall disgusting in my opinion. Servers were more interested in getting back to their own lunch that they were all sat down eating when we arrived on a table in the restaurant. I would NEVER go here again.

Best Chinese I’ve had in a while. Every dish was fantastic! The dim sum dishes were excellent 👌🏼

Amazing dumplings. Rare place to find my favourite tripes dumplings and many other delicious dishes.

Meal was ok. Service was quick but not particularly friendly. I had the special curry. Was told I could choose 3 meats. I have always had prawns in them before but not here.

I recently dined at Mei Mei Chinese Restaurant, and I must say, their roast duck is nothing short of spectacular! The skin was perfectly crispy, while the meat was tender and flavourful, bursting with authentic Chinese spices. Each bite was a delightful experience that transported me straight to the heart of culinary tradition. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and living, making it great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. If you're a fan of Chinese cuisine, I highly recommend trying the roast duck at Mei Mei. It's a dish that truly stands out and is worth every penny. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Very nice food and excellent service.

Lovely experience, food super tasty and delicious, 110% super recommended!!!!!!!!!

Very delicious! ! Rice roll highly recommended! But I personally don’t recommend steamed pork ribs.

After being introduced by a friend, we went to have tea together. In conclusion, the quality of the tea house in the estate is better than that in the estate restaurant. Basically, there is nothing to like about the rice dishes. The biggest problem is the two dim sums related to leeks. Both dim sums are good without leeks on the side. One is the shrimp and leek dumplings, the other is the pan-fried leek wedges, and a few leeks. There is no aroma.

Delicious Chinese food in Liverpool. Highly recommend l.

The food was great but their service so poor. More than 2 waiters/waitresses was seen us waiting for order something but they ignored and walked away from us without told nothing and let us wait for longtime. Also this is happens more than one time while we are having dinner.

Usually, we mainly come here to enjoy Hong Kong-style dim sum at noon time. This place is suitable for families to dine. For parking, you need to use nearby paid parking spaces or parking lots on the roadside. The average food quality is good, and the recommended dishes are "Hong Kong-style rice rolls" and "Salt Water Corner".

Lovely food, but staff reslly not interested to the point of being indifferent

I’ve had my fair share of dim sum, and Mei Mei is easily one of the best I’ve ever experienced! The variety and flavours were out of this world. We ordered War Tip, Charsui Bao, Sui Mai, Turnip Cake with XO Sauce (which was AMAZING), Ham Soi Gok, and Fried Beef Rice Noodles—each dish better than the last. The Turnip Cake with XO Sauce, in particular, blew me away. If you’re a dim sum fan, this is a must-try spot. Be warned, parking might be a bit tricky, but there are car parks nearby—you’ll just have to take a short walk. Trust me, it’s worth it! I’ll definitely be back! 🥢🍜

the restaurant is under refurbishment and may be reopened 3 weeks later (23/9/2024 updated) Dim sums are hot and delicious. Sliced pork chow mein and baked seafood fried rice must be ordered.

The bald manager at the door has a bad attitude, and the waiters are also influenced by their bosses to have a very bad attitude. Neither the xiaolongbao nor the bean curd rolls are jealous, and the customers are asked to take the initiative to bring the vinegar, and the noodles must be black. It's uncomfortable to pay for it, and I won't help you in the future. Poor attitude, disrespectful, not recommended.

The best Chinese food I've had in a very long time. Everything we ordered was outstanding

Great food , good service at a fair price reccomend

Great food. Very crowded with lots of local folks - a good thing.

Excellent dim sum and hot dishes, taste just like what we have in HK.

Fantastic price , good portions. Unfortunately my Vegetable Stir Fry with Ho Fun was too salty

Like Chinese food and dim sum here

Kung po chicken not the best. Beef and mushrooms was great. Good for wheelchair access.

Quite possibly my favourite Chinese restaurant in China town

The Mei Mei Chinese restaurant exceeded expectations with exquisite cuisine, impeccable service, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended for an unforgettable dining experience.

Lovely food and very friendly staff the best in the city

Over the bank holiday weekend, I decided to go to Mei Mei for my Dimsum fix. It's was busy, and waiting for a table was only 15min that was Quick for a Table for 2. We order dimsum and also order 3 meat roasts with crispy noodles ( sam sew crispy noodles ) As we waited for dimsum, our food arrived. Then something else arrived that we didn't ask for. I quickly told the waitress this was not the item I ordered. Then the lady that took our order as known as (Wendy) was very rude and said this is what we ordered. I can't believe the way she spoke to us, and she raised her voice and said, "You order seafood Noodles ( sam sen chow mean ). We said no, we wanted 3 meat roasts ( sam sew crispy noodles ). This Wendy was so rude, and her voice went high pitch, and people around us were looking as she was making a scene. She said she had not heard of 3 meat roasts and said she they served 5 roast and said each one out.?? At that point, I'm fuming at this. Specking ruddly and saying we order wrong. I can say loudly she has no shame. In the end, she changed it. Other staff even said to us she is rude and I can't let this go. So, in the end, i ask the manager if I order 3meat roast do you know what I'm ordering? He replied ( of course, YES ) And this is not the first people complain about her as the manager said. If the owner is reading this post, you may want to fire this lady who called ( Wendy ).

We had a lovely lunch here today. Some of the best/traditional Chinese food we have ever eaten. Food came out quick and the staff were very attentive

Great staff and catered well for my Chinese wife. Thank you

Had the Royal Banquet for two - which was far too much to eat if I'm honest. Place is fine - loads of staff and yes perhaps not so keen on idle chatting or smiling but did not spoil anything. Food was OK - Dim Sum part was better but the rest was quite average and disappointing. The addition of a bill service charge is not that unusual and we didn't mind.

Diego Gordon likes this place so I don't like it

We went to the restaurant for lunch 11/04/24, we have been treated like a prisoner as questioned by the stuff "Jade" verr rude, we walked out straight away to "Chung ku" better dimsums over there stuff nice. never go to Mei Mei again. I suggest the restaurant hire your stuff more carefully, he looks like fresh off the boat.

Great restaurant, large room with large table. The decoration on the windows is magnificent with fish. The prices are very fair. The service is fast and efficient.

We were looking for dim sum in Liverpool City and were told of this restaurant. It was extremely busy inside and it indeed served dim sum but the quality was not to my usual expectations down south. Overall a bit disappointing and you feel they could do better. Service is good though

The food was delicious. 😊 Staff was friendly and very helpful.

Best Chinese Ive had in the UK. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. I'm American so I don't mind the 10% service charge as much as others, especially when everything was great.

Service charge is ridiculous bec there’s no service 🥲

I love this restaurant the food is very delicious

Great chinese food in a nice clean restaurant.

Got starter and had to ask for my main while others who I was with got theres

No queue time when we arrived during lunch hour on Saturday. Serving within 10 minutes upon ordering We ordered seaweed soup, and it was delicious. Fantastic cooking soup skill as seaweed still maintain its juicyness and freshness. 4 stars We ordered Roast duck and roast pork rice. First impressions when the rice was presented, it just liked a leftover dish. We never eat any hong kong restaurant in so many continents that present food like this. For taste wise, roast pork was terrible. Each slice just like leftover and the pork outer layer was too salty. It seems like reheat. 1 star. For the roast duck, we found 2 slices really taste delicious. Other slices were terrible. 1 star

We were looking forward to a Chinese in Chinatown as we thought it would be a good experience and we are adventurous eaters. Indain food from Curry miles is always so wonderful. However to say we were disappointed is to understate it significantly! My chili beef was average at best. The other dishes were absolutely disgusting to be generous. The chicken dish was congealed and gloopy. The mixed meat consistted of 99% undercooked offal. The staff were pretty rude and we couldn't get out quickly enough and it spoilt what was otherwise a lovely trip to Liverpool. Sadly there's not a zero star rating on this site otherwise I would have chosen this!

Decent food but very small portions.

Bland overpriced food. Poor vegetarian selection. Not child friendly.Didn’t enjoy it at all.

Bog standard Chinese food. Slightly one up from the all you can eat buffet.

Good food...Good staff...Nice place

食物質素不錯， 飯點時間需要等候，雖然價錢偏高，但還是可以解鄉愁

Was busy food was good well cooked and well presented

Had duck in plum sauce, delicious, food excellent and service .

Authentic Cantonese Dim Sum. The service is quite good.

Tried this place for a change, food is ok, price acceptable. Went again the following week, prices were hiked 15-20% !!!!! Will post pics of menu prices later. Not going again especially when need to pay for street parking.

Very busy every nights proof it's popularity and attraction of returning customers. Great dishes and dim sum at good size and favour. Original Hong Kong and Southern China cuisine at the centre of town. Free parking on nearby streets from 6pm onwards every weekdays. Will definitely come again.

Mei Mei is a must visit if you like Chinese food and are in Liverpool. Located just by the gates of Chinatown by the Anglican Cathedral, it is your classic large, efficient and almost always full Chinese. The fact that around of 75% of diners there are normally of Chinese heritage says a lot. The food cannot be faulted, and the dumplings are excellent! Go for it. 😎👍🏻

We were mostly ignored. Always had to wave down someone when ready to order. Food was average.

Freshly cooked to order. Good sized portions. Dim sum all as it should be. Very tasty and authentic.

The place was packed on a weekday afternoon compared to other Chinese restaurant nearby so decided to try. Soup dumplings were great and flavourful but other dishes didn’t impress. There were some communication issues with menus (for dim sum menu the paper that you fill the order in is in Chinese so you’d be ordering to a staff if you don’t read Chinese) which led to some incorrect order. Asked for chilli oil and vinegar, and was provided something different. We also had to ask for bowls, chopsticks and spoons whilst other tables seemed to have these as a standard.

Dish portions are so small I had to use my magnifying glass. Just Boiled rice for 4 of us cost us £15 and drinks are half filled with ice.. never seen a restaurant so stingey..

Leaving cooked meat siting next to bins with back doors open to public alley

坐很久的火车来吃叉烧酥，但是开门半个小时就没有了，蛋挞也没有。说可以提前预定，但是别的地方来的人也不知道这种规矩…既然没有了应该要提前说吧。已经是第二次来了，上一次来也没有这种规矩，叉烧酥也还有。 本来就是为了这个来的，上了二楼之后也没人服务，隔壁有party所以三个服务员围着一个没有人的桌子站着……叫半天叫不来一个人吃完撤桌子倒是挺快的，就这么想赶我们走吗？ 全程的饭都吃的莫名其妙，豉汁排骨还有大麻的味道，一上来就很明显，不知道是这道菜的什么步骤还是蒸笼有。 总之非常不满意，也吃得很生气。

First time dining here, but wont be the last! Service was excellent, the food was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly :-)

Pretty typical Chinese restaurant in the heart of Liverpool. Service great, and pretty quick. Been here many times and every time it’s been a great experience. The menu is great, not the cheapest however it’s not too expensive. There are great choices of starters, which are absolutely delicious. The mains are also good, however I usually order many starters which fill me up. The atmosphere is pretty good, with a lot of space so not much worry on whether you will get a table or not.

XO udon noodles are my absolute favourite - 100% recommend

Out of expectation as the portion is very generous, enough to feed 1.5 person for a rice/ noodles dish. The 焗飯is really impressive as a lot of details can be found for this. Fried rice base, instead of plain white rice. A lot of seafood, which has been cooked/ fried and seasoned with flavour. Then the rice is baked for a crispy taste.

Probably the best sweet and sour king prawns in the UNIVERSE. They, to my palate are just fabulous❤️❤️❤️

Food is OK, portions are generous but they close way too early over the weekend.

Just finished an excellent meal at Mei Mei. Staff was attentive and very helpful. The food was hot and tasty. Huge menu so there is something for everyone.

Absolutely fabulous food. Great service. Had set menu and dim sum. Would recommend this Restaurant. My sister and her husband who live in Bulgaria really enjoyed everything .

This place is incredible. Great location. Friendly staff. Tasty food with so much variety. If you just want a fuss free with no gimmick Chinese. Here's your place. We ordered curried fish balls, dim sum siu mai which were huge, roast pork, roast duck char sui on a bed of crispy noodles and wonton noodles. Knocking off a staff as there weren't accessible toilets, up some steep stairs. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent range of food on offer and very good quality. Service is excellent.

Our waitress there, Wenly was very accommodating & made sure our request was taken care of.

Worst service ever in a Chinese restaurant. Food is okay, when it turns up.

Very busy at times, so you might wait for a while but once you are seated you will feel like a culinary haven! Everything tastes amazing and melts in your mouth releasing undiscovered very balanced tastes! I recommend it to everyone who loves Asian food!

Yup, another update : But this could possibly my last one on this restaurant, why ?Find out below. Mei Mei used to be one of the go to restaurant in Liverpool, unfortunately it had gone downhill steadily. Long story short, Dad wanted to try the Update 25 January 2020: Back here for a Chinese New Year lunch meal with family. We were shown to a table upstairs (as the lower floor is full, understandably). Wasn't too bothered from previous good experience. Well, we were very wrong. From the off, trying to catch the attention of the waiting staff to make an order is near impossible as they hide in a corner not visible from the customers. We spent a good 10 minutes trying to make an order. The food arrived relatively quickly. By then, we were out of tea. You can imagine trying to catch their attention again to fill the teapots. In the meantime, the table next to us walked out as they had enough trying to order their meal. The thing is it was not even half full upstairs, so no excuse there. To be fair, the food were up to standard, the dim sum were tasty, so we try to enjoy ourselves. Forgot to mention last time is that you don't ask for the bill, but pay at the reception. Interesting. The bill comes to a little over £100, it seems about right. But examine the bill more closely, a 10% service charge was included which was a bit of a joke. We couldn't see any advertisement of the service charge anywhere including the menu. And the service we received was more in line of the 1% mark. We didn't want to make a fuss for it is CNY, so we left it at that. Is it so hard to get a up to standard service at a Chinese Restaurant nowadays ?! In summary, service is a bit of hit and miss, so be informed. And ... remember to check your bill !! _________________________________________________ Update 5 January 2020: Went to Mei Mei for a quick Dim Sum lunch on Monday, it was unusually busy with both floors opened and had to wait for a table. After the previous experience, we were expecting the same non-service from the staff. To our surprise, the staff were very attentive; all the things they missed last time has been done quickly and professionally. Almost like two completely different sets of staff. As we were ordering our Dim Sums, we couldn't find one item on the sheet and we were talking amongst ourselves. But it was overheard by one of the staff and quickly show us where it was. I think a praise is in order, and it is little things like this that gives a good impression to customers. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

a very good small Chinese restaurant and the dim sum was of high standards. for a small scale restaurant it is very good. not sure what the a la carte items are like.

Has been consistently good from opening many years ago until now. Not many other places to enjoy real Cantonese food. Mei Mei rarely disappoints.

No service foods not that good. I have been there many times, i don’t mind to pay the service charge but they always extra charges on my bills(they usually got 1 or more items on your bill which you’re not ordered)so please alway checked your bill

Lovely dim sum! Authentic cantonese food.

Best chinese restaurant in Liverpool. The wonton cha sui noodle soup is tremendous!!! The staff are welcoming and the atmosphere is great.

Been here today for are first time will definitely be the last, the service was absolutely awful atleast half hour wait for starter, are sharing platter was taken away when we hadn't finished another long wait for the mains, to top it all they then brough one off the meals wrong so yes another 30 min wait in which time rice was cold no apologies for wrong meal and then a 6 pound service charge for the worst service weve had definitely wouldn't recommend.

Stale pancakes that fell apart and were like cardboard, 1/2 duck also distinctly didn't taste fresh. A mushroom dish that was just British style mushrooms swimming in soy - disgusting. Lamb on sizzling platter was so chewy that we stopped trying to eat it altogether. This was the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten in the UK. The price for these dishes and 3 glasses of wine was £76. The service from an older lady was cold to the point of rudeness, but the two young lads who brought stuff too were fine. The restaurant decor is very tired and a little bit grubby. There are far, far better options for Chinese food in this area.

Top class, proper chinese restaurant, not takeaway standard, the food was delicious, but a wee bit pricy.

Beautiful restaurant in the inside. I came here from the US on vacation. I went here last night was taken back by how awful the service was. The waitresses were EXTREMELY rude and unpleasant with massive attitudes. Never checked on us one time, and made it seem like anything we asked for bothered them. Food was okay, not the best, but the chicken with the Lemon and Honey glaze was amazing. I don't think I'd come back.

Ching fun is too thick but not a bad alternative to closed down Tai Pan

Food ok staff not very friendly

This is a nice restaurant but I felt let down by them on my latest visit. We got there about 8.40 and were giving seats and menus. Waiter came along and asked if we wanted drinks while we read the menu. Shortly after this another waiter came over asking if we had decided and we would have to hurry up because they close at 9.30! If that's the case why didn't they tell us then when we arrived and shown to our table. The food was good but the experience was definitely rushed and just to make things worse they wanted us to pay before we had even finished eating. A lesson was learned maybe I should of checked the times but maybe the staff need to tell customers rather than making them feel like they need to go ☹. Got to change this 5 star review to a 3 unfortunately

The location is great. Food was good, compare to Hong Kong is a little over price tho.

Been rushed because you want to close it's very unpleasent. Food quality very average and very overpriced. Lots of better chinese restaurant in the area

It's always good to find a restaurant the locals use and the food was absolutely excellent 👌 loved it

Great food, exceptional service, always.

First time visit but definitely NOT the last. Our Dim Sum was absolutely delicious. Totally recommended 👌

Day trip to Liverpool and fancied eating in the famous China Town area. This restaurant is just on the edge of it and was REALLY busy, always a good sign. Despite how busy they were, the service was fairly fast. The food is great, good value and generous portions. Will definitely visit again next time we are in Liverpool.

I ate at mei mei many time Good foods and service

Super bad service especially the woman with short hair at the cashier. What an attitude. If you want to pay for bad service, then by all means come here.

We rolled up rather late (9pm) but were made very welcome. Our drinks order came quickly and our food order followed very soon after. The food was fabulous, the four of us ordered different dishes and shared. The portions were so generous, we couldn’t eat it all! I highly recommend you try this restaurant.

Food is great Service is poor - whole bunch of staff standing around waiting for food to come out from the kitchen. They don't check if you would like a drinks refilled or if need anything else like extra utensils Atmosphere is dull
