Mei's Restaurant in Taunton Deane

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

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

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!

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

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

The food is good but 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

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

Great place to eat, huge selection

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.

Really good value for money. Great effort made to keep customers safe. Food was excellent. And still is!

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

The best all you can eat buffet I have been to

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

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.

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.

Busy self service restaurant but great atmosphere and food

Good variation of food only thing I didn't like is they don't clean out the ice cream scoops and replenish the hot water far from that okay

Really enjoyed the lamb chips and onion rings and all of the delicious desserts. Had a wonderful time there again yesterday food was wonderful

Having to change my review of this place unfortunately. Really liked coming here for birthday treats and on the odd occasion due to how good the food is for the money but unfortunately last night, me and my partner noticed the quality of the food wasn’t as good as it used to be and after returning home both have come down with food poisoning. I believe it was the crispy beef as even after they had just restocked the tray it was almost stone cold and couldn’t really see anything else being the issue. Usually wait times are minimal and food is really good but really unfortunate that we’ve had to let one of our go to places due to something like this. Would advise you avoid for a while until they sort something out.

I came here for lunch yesterday against my better judgment to see if it had improved since the last time I visited and wasn’t shocked to see it had not! A few scraps of dried out meat in some of the containers but most of them were pretty much empty! The soup was cold and the noodles were burnt (didn’t even know that was possible) shouldn’t have learnt my lesson last time! On another note I was in the dentist behind the lady that owns this place last week listening to her inform the receptionist that she is in receipt of tax credits and benefits so she doesn’t pay for her NHS dental treatment - which was interesting as she was wearing a mulberry dress and her son had a private school uniform on. After this they left in a brand new Range Rover jeep…. Interesting! The amount you receive from benefits must have seriously went up!

Always one of our favourites, very busy on this occasion but staff were very attentive and fresh food kept coming

Delicious foods, Unlimited buffet..mmm...yummi🤤

We have not visited Mei's for a while, but it's not changed . There is still a good selection of food ,which was hot and tasty and the desserts are really good .

Art work is incredible, all the staff are super nice and always willing to help. Food was delicious. Made me want to try new cultures of food. Would definitely come back again.

A birthday dinner for 12 everyone happy. Thank you everything superb.

Had my family birthday meal here today. Lovely staff, lovely and clean, fantastic food. Will definitely visit again, thank you

Very tasty, very impressive Chinese buffet selection at Mei's! Excellent value for money which includes pancakes, sushi and desserts and sweets. I always feel annoyed to be stuffed as I want to try it all! 😄 They are extremely good with all things covid related, everyone is spaced out and everywhere is clean and sanitised. Drinks are £3 and under. We got 4 soft drinks and 2 kids drinks for under £13. The whole lunch for 6 of us was less than £70. (£55 for all-you-can-eat food) I love it there, we go on every birthday of mine and our anniversary.

Very welcoming+friendly. Lovely, clean restaurant with delicious dishes on their menu.

Plenty of good food. No wait. Noisy atmosphere.

Absolutely love this place. The food is always hot and fresh, the staff are very friendly. Apart from the sour faced lady, whom I can only assume is the owner. I mean, i know she is busy, but a smile wouldn't go a miss. And maybe dont shout at the staff in front of customers? Everything else is perfect. Definitely recommend for a good Chinese meal with loads of choice!

All you can eat Chinese restaurant can't fault it

Everything delicious , lots of food from home such as HK fried noodles, spring rolls and sweet and sour chicken. Broccoli and mushrooms tasty as well as the desserts. One flaw: no WiFi

Literally just came out with my freind and her 10 month old baby they we’re literally laughing at us then went through the back and hid the bug and called us liers please nobody eat of these horrible people

Food used to be a lot better. What happened?

Absolutely appalling service. All the staff was rude, specially the lady at the front serving at the bar. Food is mediocre and too expensive. I’ll never go to this place again.

Amazing all you eat, lunch time best price , so many choices!!!

Great place to eat food is tasty with lots of choice. Disappointed that on arriving I was charged adult price for my granddaughter who was 10 as they said she was tall, but then charged £4 for my great granddaughter because she was 13 months old and over 1. When asked if their policy was age or height I got no reply.

I'm not normally an "Eat all you want " kinda guy tbh... although I've had some experiences in the past & really not that impressed... this one though I have to give 10 out of 10 for.. the food was fantastic, warm, hot, moist, full of flavour and really incredibly tasty. I wasn't a piggy, thought it was incredible value at £20 per head and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.. Well done to all the staff it is incredibly well run & the toilets were dining table standard... cannot fault the place...

Good selection of savoury and pudding. Sushi bar included so you can easily get your moneys worth with how little you actually pay.

Absolutely disgusting food. Chicken was dry, battered squid was flavourless. And when we complained to the manager she started shouting at me in the restaurant and threatended to call the police as she couldn't accept criticism that her food is dry and tastless. In all my life I have never been shouted at by complaining because the standard was well below average. All the staff where untrained to the complaint procedure and looked to young to be serving alcohol. All in all you get better customer service at McDonald's and at least if you complain about poor standards then you don't have a child shouting at you in another language

Had a great night as our first experience at Mei’s , greeted with a warm smile , food was warm and delicious and had a free glass of juice. Highly recommend!!

Can be very busy place so can be hard to hear others, but good been great anytime been, always topped up. Great place!

Excellent restaurant with quality food, brilliant staff and nicely decorated.

If you’re in Taunton and craving some serious buffet action, you've got to check out Mei Restaurant. For £25.99, not only do you get to binge on a massive selection of Chinese dishes, but you also snag a bottle of your favorite drink. It's a killer deal! Mei’s spread is impressive, with everything from sushi to traditional Chinese favorites. But the real show-stoppers are the live cooking stations—imagine fresh calamari, steak, and salmon grilled up right in front of you. And don’t even get me started on the desserts! There’s an ice cream station, jelly, a chocolate fountain, and tons of fresh fruits. It’s basically dessert heaven. Honestly, for an all-you-can-eat buffet, Mei Restaurant nails it with quality. The food is surprisingly good, and with the variety they offer, it’s definitely worth the price. Perfect spot for filling up and chilling out with friends or family!

Good Chinese food variety. Dinner a bit expensive compared to lunch but does have extended selection with sea food tepanyaki style.

I went on a busy Sunday without booking. Straight in, quick service, loads of choice for us and children. All fresh and clean. We'll be back soon!

A buffet Chinese. All you can eat from £13.99 weekday lunch. We'll be back.

Lovely food as ever! Their mussels are the best! And everything else is good too! Thoroughly recommended!

Food is very good, plenty of it, and staff keep everything clean. However lately they seem to be getting very exoensive.

Hard to rate a place like this. It does what it needs to do very well. We were looking for somewhere for a quick and easy lunch and it worked perfectly Food is delivered buffet-style and some items were good, others not so good, but you can try and then go back (or not). The nature of a place like this is that you know it's all made to a price, so you know the quality is not necessarily great, but as I said it works

The choice of food is amazing and vast. The staff are very polite and friendly. Love this place and always a must for us when in Taunton.

We really enjoyed our time at Mei's. First time going to an all you can eat buffet. The food was lovely and hot and really delicious, it was great trying new foods that you have never had before. I would say that it could get pretty busy at times though, seems very popular. Staff were attentive and efficient without being intrusive. Would go back again for sure. We'll done 👍from us!

Great for buffet lovers. Great selection and always topped up. Food is very good.

Great place to dine, great value for money. 100% awesome food..

Birthday meal, lovely food and service .

highly recommended by our family good value for money and very filling so many different flavours and dishes to choose from 👍

Don't bother going if you're vegetarian. There's nothing there for you. A rip off.

Good choice all you can with very efficient service at the bar and clearing tables between each choice you eat. No need to use the same plate. Well recommended.

Visited today again after a long time. Staff in the entrance was very rude. He was at the phone serving us.We didn't know we have to pay first.He never told us,instead ,he was pointing with his hand the bar where we were supposed to pay. We asked for water,they told us to sit down and they were going to bring it over.20 mins later I had to ask a different member of staff to end up having a glass. The variety of food was only chicken and pork. No beef,praise or seafood.Whem I asked ,the gentleman was rude again,saying that these options are only available for dinner.On the website though that was not mentioned.When I rang to ask that was not mentioned either.

Not not usually a fan of buffet food but this one is really good

Arrived on my own. Was not directed to a table so sat down. Staff member, when I was nearly finished my meal, asked why I was sitting at a big table. Very rude. Said I wasn't directed anywhere and the restaurant was nowhere near full. Left immediately. Please avoid due to rude staff

We have been many times before and the food is still really excellent, prices have gone up( haven’t they everywhere) but the decor especially the seating needs to be renewed tears on most of the bench seating not really what you would expect

Very nice plenty to choose from as usual 😀 👌

Fresh, hot food. Great value for money

When I visited it was busy but food was plentiful at this self serve buffet. Food was good. The table we were offered was in the middle of the room but they quickly found a table by the window when we objected.

Treated my wife to a date night dinner at this restaurant as we both love Chinese food and have been before, the place was packed which was difficult as me and my wife ate both autistic so the loudness really made the night a little overwhelming, the food was amazing as always. Lots of options that were delicious, our table did get cleared when we went to get our sweet food which the staff were very apologetic and gave us free drinks as our drinks were thrown away in the process.

Excellent food superb service great staff really lovely clean and tidy place to dine always glad to return

Fantastic Mother’s Day evening.with my son Great food and service and even met a man with a fabulous quiff . Happy Mother’s Day to me

Food quite poor. If you don't like spicy food there is not much you can eat here!

very tasty food and friendly staff, especially the man at the entrance. Thank you, we recommend it to everyone and we will come back again and again

Very busy. Can be time limit to seat inside (example you comming 5:30pm you must leave before 6:45),

Although at times the food is nice , every time I can safely say when I have had a chicken dish all be it a curry or just chicken satay the chicken is not cooked it’s pink and rubbery so I would not recommend the chicken at all The most unbelievable and quite outrageous thing is they charge you for a child at any age so you could have a 1 yr old and they will charge a plate even though the baby is not eating it’s own food it’s just possibly having tiny tip bits off your plate they had the cheek to say they are charging the £10 and something as our little boy was under 2 they charged us £4 Not quite sure how they can justify that price at all but. Over all it is an ok place .you must make sure you get your moneys worth .

Child/family friendly. Very kind when a child broke a glass. Good food, easy going atmosphere.

Alright scran here. A top tip is to smoke a joint or two beforehand so you can smash 5 plates of food and 3 pancakes to really get your moneys worth.

Really good value. Nice choice.

Not good by a long way every thing was only warm at best didn't taste great as well. You do get a good view off all the fat pigs going to the trough again and again though stuffing their faces. Better Chinese places around then this one.

Great food the people working there they work so hard..we went during half term so loads of kids..other wise Great

Clean, staff attentive food very nice

First visit for an Anniversary meal as we both like Chinese. For a Monday, there were a few in, certainly not busy. Plenty of variety of dishes available to try and will cater for most people's needs. Two plates of food was enough for me with little room left for some ice cream. Would certainly recommend a visit. No real atmosphere in the place but it is what it is.

One of my favourite restaurants, Very good food, very clean, and fresh food.
