Mei's Restaurant in Taunton Deane

Without question the best Chinese buffet I've ever had. Amazing selection of dishes that all taste delicious, couldn't recommend this place enough.

For a buffet it's 4 stars for quality, 5 for cleanliness, 4 for price. Good choice of dishes and dinner menu is recommended

Absolutely great ace to eat. Advice is to book a table... Best all you can eat I've ever been to. Prestine. 👍. So many choices of food dishes. From pizza and chips, Chinese soup, rice dishes, noodle dishes, loads of chichen, beef, prawn, pork and duck dishes, Chinese dumplings, sushi, pancakes, chocolate fountain, desserts and jelly sweets and ice-cream. Totally recommend to everyone who loves a great place to eat.

Will definitely come again when I am in the area next

A bit noisy but food is always great

Good variety of food. The sweet and sour chicken is delicious. Lots to choose from, even if you have a fussy child. Chocolate fountain was a hit with the kids.

Love place & food & well priced!

Absolutely lovely food great staff . I will be back

Amazing. Great place. Highly recommend.Stunning....

Very very tasty food. Will be returning.

Awesome food and a nice setting highly recommen

Really good all you can eat Chinese. Wide choice of food. Very busy, but that just goes to show how good it is.

As "buffet" restaurants go, I would rate Mei's as one of the best. I have eaten there several times. The food is excellent, service very good, and staff friendly. Decent value for money, too.

Good food is not bad value 👌 Only gave 1 star for service because it is a eat all you can eat be it in one and half hours so it is self service

Great place for the value, fantastic people, awesome food. It’s a must to visit it at least once a month 👏🏼

I don't eat meat and still managed to find loads of nice food to eat. Everything was fresh and flavoursome

Very clean place, service is very good.

The food is good but on some occasions the sweet and sour chicken has been tough to chew because its like bit sold and the only annoying thing is that if your 150cm you are charged as a adult even if your not one, you could be 10 and be 150cm but they would still charge u as a adult

REALLY DISAPPOINTED! After eating here several times before and never having an issue, this evening we were greeted by the most unprofessional manager I've ever experienced. The staff are always so accommodating and friendly and we've never experienced a problem in the past but this evening, the manager was so rude when we arrived at our booked table. Our 3 year-old had been to a party so just eaten so was not eating with us this evening, but because we bought her a fruit shoot we were very aggreively told numerous times by the manager that she WAS NOT TO EAT A THING! We know this, hence why we didn't include paying the measly amount of £6 for her. She was full from party food so would not have eaten with us. Its not the fact we were told this information, it's the way it was said over and over again in a really rude manner. We decided to get a refund and abruptly left with said manager informing us she didn't care as she'll make plenty of money this evening as they were busy enough without our custom so we are now continuing our evening in the Hubbox where the staff couldn't be more accommodating amd welcoming. Safe to say we will NEVER RETURN to this restaurant. Such a shame as the food smelt great and the rest of the staff are so lovely and were clearly embarrassed by this woman's abruptness and rudeness towards us! Awful customer care from this manager

This place is bussin' and mind blowing. I was smitten with the stem buns and dumplings they melted right away and i just couldn't stop eating. Nice place, great people and lovely food.

Can’t complain, cheap and cheerful, the freshly prepared food such as the sushi is spot on. The buffet food is decent enough, would return.

Food was good but got asked if we could move tables whilst halfway through eating our meal. We come here on a regular basis with friends and family but will be taking our business elsewhere from now on as this made us feeling very uncomfortable and felt like I couldn’t eat the rest of our food so left.

The best place to eat in Taunton

Very nice food will definitely be back 😋

Lovely place ..been many times and always been brilliant.

Great selection all quite tasteless though.

Good value, good food, good staff, good customer service 👍

Awesome place for some good food selection

Service some people serving should smile more

Excellent selection. Great tasting food, staff welcoming.

Not good service not well trained staff and food is cold bad experience not recommended

Worst Food Ever. Chili beef Isn't cooked well! Staff are so Unmannered

Crispy duck over cooked and cold Staff are rude ,defiantly not recommend this place

Amazing restaurant, the food is top quality and all the staff are lovely and helpful.

Mei's is a really good Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet, especially for a decent price. It is slightly expensive for a person, but as long as you can eat what you have on your plate, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Just make sure not to spoil your appetite before! I last visited the place on my birthday (19th December 2024) and it was amazing! If you really want to have something where you can eat what you want, as well as have some cheeky dessert after, Mei's is the place for you

The food was lovely and the soup was even better. I would definitely recommend this if you're into Chinese food. Will go again. Written by Leo age 9.

I loved Foods but as a Muslim costumer I thins it is better for them to put (Halal ) sing for foods

I took my partner and 2 children for dinner at meis, on this occasion it was chaos. We paid for our food and drink's before being led to a table only to be served plastic bottles of coke (these cost £4 each.. for plastic bottles!!) My little girl got pushed out the way by a fully grown man at the pudding section. The food wasn’t very hot and was very poor quality. We went home disappointed only for my partner and both children to spend the night being violently sick. The following day we contacted meis and was met by a very rude and abrupt lady on the phone telling us they was ‘to busy on the night that we came in’ and ‘get evidence that it was our food that made you poorly, you won’t’. Absolutely horrendous experience and will not be returning!

Very good variety and high quality food. Well worth it for the price.

the food was dry. after getting home everyone who ate prawns was sick. It was very busy so unsure if they reheat the dishes to keep up the demand but the food taste rubbery and last time i went it was great. massive let down.

When it's peak times it's chaos, good it good,

Has a fantastic night food delicious and staff always smiling . Would highly recommend but advised to pre book . Was yummy 😋

Meis restaurant in Taunton, Somerset is a useless place. A couple of days after my daughter's birthday, my family went out there. My daughter just turned 10 and we were there to celebrate but we were told we could not pay child's price for her. They insisted they were going to take adult price because of her height. Is it her fault that she's got the height she has? It was a bit of body shaming for the innocent girl. Why should a business deliberately do things that will shake a little girl's self esteem? She has said she will never go to Meis again. It was a horrible experience!

It's an amazing experience here. There is so much to choose from and no shortage. Clean. Waiters are always ready to clear used plates away. Firrs time for me, but it won't be the last A lovely experience. Another visit today. Excellent again. Please try it out, worth it.

Excellent service, attentive, helpful and friendly staff. The food is wonderful with a good selection, from sushi to chips, rice to sweet and sower chicken and many more. There is a good choice of desserts as well. I recommend very highly. Usually no need to book but now I have told everyone how good it is, better safe than sorry book! Enjoy, I know you will.

We celebrated my daughter 21st birthday here. Great service all round! The staff were lovely and helpful! The food was just amazing and the puddings! Thank you so much for having us all. We will definitely be back! Thank you

Not sure what all the fuss is about. As far as buffets go there are definitely better, especially the new one Somerset buffet in Taunton. The food was mostly stuck together as over cooked and claggy. Chicken was very low quality, batter was gooey, rice was ok, chicken nuggets were ok but you can’t really mess them up, it got 3 stars as despite its underwhelming taste and quality it is still good value for money, like they say, you get what you pay for. Once was enough for me.

Mei’s always delivers with good atmosphere and food. Im never disappointed when I go here, most of the times are with work colleagues for a Christmas parties and been a few times with family we all enjoyed. Staff are always there to quickly get some fresh food in and clear our tables. Toilets are always clean.

Nice and hot food, good service and good atmosphere. 2 down sides are that there is not a lot of choice for puddings and I think it’s a little over priced

Simply a great place for a family get-together. Food never disappoints, the bar is a bonus as it's easy and quick to get drinks and the staff is tremendously friendly and attentive. We'll be back soon as it's just such a lovely place to go for an affordable meal out.

Great place to eat out with the family plenty of Chinese dishes and also some sushi.

Food was excellent. But very disappointed with the choice of sweets. Literally nothing left for us this afternoon. All the nice sweets had gone and had not been replaced..The main meals were very plentiful and very tasty.

We’ve eaten here a few times now. The food is delicious, nice and fresh and so much variety

Tasty fresh food on the buffet, something for everyone. Clean and pleasant.

Probably the best place to eat in Taunton when it comes to value/freshness,quality.

Been coming here for years now when visiting Taunton and have always had a lovely selection of food on offer for us ,staff all nice and plates cleared quickly all area's have been very clean .went home Saturday very satisfied and stuffed 😋

Go for dinner. It is worth the money, and more options.

Very neat, hygienic and easily accessible.

Mei's Family Restaurant is an absolute gem in Taunton! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place for a family meal or a casual dinner with friends. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always go the extra mile to ensure a great dining experience. The food is consistently delicious, with a fantastic variety of dishes that cater to all tastes. Whether it's their flavorful mains or delightful desserts, every bite is a treat. I highly recommend Mei's Family Restaurant to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!

Lovely food with plenty of choice. Excellent service and comfortable surroundings.

My wife and I enjoyed a delightful lunch at Mei's Buffet Restaurant. The food was fresh, warm, and flavorful, with an impressive variety of options, including chicken, beef, pork, steamed fish, and sushi. The dessert selection was equally enticing, featuring a range of ice cream flavours, bite-sized cakes, jellies, sweets, and a fantastic pancake/crepe station with delicious toppings like caramel, hazelnut, and chocolate sauces. It's an ideal spot for families, but be sure to arrive hungry to make the most of the experience!

Mix of eastern food. Thaï, chinese, japanese without great quality and taste.

We took our two grand sons for an evening meal. The food was fabulous, all freshly cooked. Even though it's a buffet style, fresh food was constantly being brought from the kitchen. All your favourite takeaway Chinese dishes plus there was a selection of sushi freshly made to choose from. Even the desserts were great. Usually, they seem to be an afterthought. But desserts here were as good as the mains.

Always visit Mei's for birthday's and anniversaries. The vast array of food is second to none. Great for the children too. So much choice for everyone

Food quality is poor, horrendously priced soft drinks. Restaurant clean and tidy. General staff very friendly and helpful. Although not the fault of the restaurant....but unpleasant having children running around and using the restaurant as a playground. Not going to rush back.

Excellent selection of fresh tasty dishes including desserts. Only slight issue was was asking for a jug of iced tap water and only getting a glass.

I’ve enjoyed a few solo trips to this venue. I’ve been seated quickly and it is value for money. There is a range of popular dishes to choose from and the usual choices of deserts you’d find at a large buffet. It can get very noisy when busy and lacks authentic ambient music. I’ve enjoyed most dishes.

Ate so much couldn't walk properly

Excellent buffet hot and very tasty , constantly refreshed dishes value for money .

I recently dined at Meis, and it was a fantastic experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The menu offers a great variety of dishes, all beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend Meis for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Amazing food, great value for money, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely evening here food was very good . Plenty of choice . But One of our guess was gluten free . The choices for them was very limited so there experience was not as good . Which was a shame

Myself and a mate went for the buffet last night,and to be fair I was abit apprehensive because of some of the reviews.however,I shouldn't have been,we were greeted at the door and shown to the bar to pay.we were then shown to our table and drinks brought over and left to picking our food from the well stocked and really nice hot food. All in all it was really good,would definately go again and take the kids.theres loads of deserts which they'd love.there is a charge on cards under £10,so as usual,cash is king!

Love this place. Excellent range of dishes, all are very high quality. Cleanliness is excellent too. Will definitely return!!!

Service was a little rude but the food for the price is great, just didn’t like how they were speaking to all of us, but yeah recommend going during the week as it’s cheaper.

We were visiting the area ,Tried to get in at 2.35 and was told it closed at 3pm not very welcoming. I always thought if the venue was open, you could go in until the stated closure time very disappointed.

Lovely wariety of food hot and tasty, restaurant very clean

Overall good experience. Personally I find it too busy. The food was good and the staff were friendly.

Amazing food you can never run out I’m definitely coming back

We found this restaurant awful We had a table booked But when we got there was a queue out the door it was chaos I seen people walking straight in so I made my way through the queue A d approach the woman that was Standing taking names She came at me like steam roller When I said we had booked all she kept saying was You pay ,you pay,you pay, you pay I was dumb founded She was extremely rude The noise was horrendous And I Tried to say we were meeting other people here And she carried on shouting You pay ,you pay ,you pay if it hadn't been a birthday meal I would of walked out there and d then I made my way to the bar to pay and didn't hear what the lady said so I put my card in the machine stupidly thinking it was OK only to find that when I sat down I had been over charged But to give the lady on the desk benefit of the don't she refunded me But cheeky so and so offered me a voucher to come back rather than refund my card I said no I want the money back And she didn't argue with it When I got to the table where my friends were The first woman followed me over and started telling us to hurry up and eat I want table Well how I didn't blow a fuse is a miracle When we did get food it was warm not hot and it was pretty tasteless And the drinks were warm we will never return The woman at the desk I think was the manager and she really needs some training on people management Awful place

First time, took the missus out for dinner. Glad we went there, so much choice, ate too much. Too much sushi, and Peking duck wraps. Way too much dim sum and Chinese chicken and sweet corn soup. Banana fritters and chocolate gatue, ice cream and so much more. Really friendly and professional staff, very well organized, food never ran out. We'll go back, well done Mei .

My credit card details were used fraudulently here. I was several hundred miles away!

For a Chinese buffet, it's ok. The service was not very nice... everything was served quickly. Food average.

Love the food, Chinese all you can eat

Never had a bad experience here, and we come roughly twice a year. Super crazy busy today as it was fathers day. Place was so organised and all food kept topped up and fresh 😋

Very good food friendly team 👌 😋 👍 Thanks for everything

Lovely food, shocking staff! Didn’t know what they were doing, and the lady taking the money behind the bar was the rudest person I have come across in years !

very rude front server should of walked out at the beginning

Lots of choice. Nice place. We will come back again.

It's a Chinese buffet so is busy but we got seats when we reached, ofcourse we had reserved ahead of time. The dishes are either very good or not at all. There is no middle ground. All the prawn 🦐 dishes were yum as were the duck 🦆 pancakes.

Always go for lunch there when in Taunton good value

Arrived at 12 food was lovely and fresh. Good variety of food, all you can eat so my 18 year old was happy. Nice and clean. 3 adults cost £50 pound with drinks.

Great place to eat, huge selection

Descent food, good service and a nice atmosphere. The price is a but much for what it is.

Lovely combination of Japanese and Chinese food. Clean pleasant atmosphere.

The best all you can eat buffet I have been to

Went with my partner and his parents for a meal, only to come back with a plate of tasteless and dry food, my partner had to raise concern to a member of staff as his chicken was completely raw in the middle. They brushed us off at first but then got someone else to look at it and it was confirmed raw. Whether the tray was removed we were not sure but the whole buffet was poor quality of food apart from the noodles. We were extremely put off by the service given to us and the quality of food. Me and my partner both have fallen unwell with upset stomachs and will not be returning to this restaurant. PLEASE AVOID.

Went for a 4 seater meal tonight at 5pm, table 33a. Got the first round of plates back to the table and as we were tucking in I cut the satay chicken open to find it completely raw inside. Pointing this out to a member of waiting staff who then confusing asked "really?" He then had to go to a member of bar staff, who told him to speak with the manager. The manager then came over to the table and inspected the 2 pieces of chicken on a napkin at the table and confirmed them to be raw, as a result they went back to the kitchen, I'm unable to confirm if the tray was removed from the buffet but should have been due to cross contamination. We were given a free round of drinks (soft) but were completely put off by the rest of the food after (tastless) and staff (miserable looking) and atmosphere (dull and gloomy.) Since we have gotten home two of our party- my partner and myself and been ill. Will never be going back as a result of this experience and advise others to avoid, avoid, avoid at all costs. For the prices this buffet charges you can get high quality meals in Taunton. *Edit after a very uneasy nights sleep and reading other review about raw dishes and cross contamination likes bugs I have taken it upon myself so report this place to the food standards agency as their is not possible way this place can have its 5 rating from last year.

Food good, unfortunately table behind us were having a very loud face time chat... shouting rather than talking, phone chats are very tinny sounding, very annoying, asked to move tables which to be fair they did with no fuss,then that same lady finished her chat and was playing some kind of music even though restaurant was playing music.nothing was said to her.when we moved tables we then had2 of their workers sit behind us and do the same thing... phones should be banned... trying having a conversatuon with the people who you are sat with. Some diners have no respect for others, lady sat near us was clearly annoyed by it as well.

Busy self service restaurant but great atmosphere and food
