Reviews for Mei Mei Dumplings in Boston, MA
We got our pork dumplings at a farmers' market. They were FANTASTIC!!! We keep some in the freezer at all times and pull them... out for a tasty and perfect snack (or meal). Don't miss Mei Mei!! Read more
Good dumplings but over priced. Also: they ask for a tip on pick-up which sucks because it?s not like you?ve been served at all:... ?Here is your frozen dumplings, have a nice day.? Yep. 18-25% recommended tip on a high priced box of quality dumplings. Worth atry, nonetheless. Read more
One of my favorites in Boston! The restaurant is very cute With lots of seating and while there aren?t a huge variety of food... options, the dishes use creative asian fusion ingredients and taste good. Pictured below is a scallion pancake sandwich withsweet potato and black beans - goes well with the spicy ketchup. Many are also vegetarian/vegan/gluten free. Portions are alittle small but overall I love coming back here to try different dishes! Read more
Attended the dumpling making class, focus was on the shapes, yet had easy to follow instructions if you wish to make your own... from scratch. Excellent teacher and wonderful food both the dumplings and snacks before we finished. Cheerful supportiveguidance and even a pan searing demo! On a sunny day the space had wonderful lighting and was an inviting interior. Mypreference was the pork and cabbage rather than the potato and chives filling. Both were worth eating even without the selectionof sauces. Read more
On a recent trip to Boston, it was a great opportunity to check this place out after hearing about the food truck on social... media and seeing Yotam Ottolenghi give his thumbs up. It?s a pity this place didn?t appear on ?Ugly Delicious? in its ?FriedRice? episode. It?s a great example of Chinese food evolving* beyond what is expected of it. (This is coming from a person whohas worked in the Restaurant food supply chain and probably eaten too much Chinese food in their lifetime.) We came as a groupof 4 which was an opportunity to try as many things as possible: Carrot and Turnip cake Bluefish fritters Corn Fritters (a nicefreebie as it was my first visit) Double Awesome scallion pancake Lemongrass and pork dumplings Cheese Pierogi Kalesalad Having said that, if you are a bit conservative about Chinese food or come with expectations of what ?Chinese? food is,I?m guessing you are likely to be disappointed. It?s a place I wouldn?t be able to take my parents as they would probably moanat me as they have the quantity-over-quality mindset. The staff were friendly and seem like a tight-knit team which is good tosee. It?s easy to picture London embracing a place like this. Scallion pancakes done this way could be the new ?Bao?. NB * Theworst case of ?evolving? I?ve seen is a Chinese supermarket/restaurant being given a lot of LKK?s newish Sriracha mayo on thecheap. Not knowing what to do with it, they smother a load of battered chicken with the damn stuff and is not a great combo withwhite rice. Read more
Great food. Everything on the menu is delicious. I especially like the double awesome. Good beer selection as well. Had a good... curry bowl as well. On my,last visit hey had a special from 2pm to 5pm where you get free corn fritters with the purchase of abeer, which was great. It is cool to see a place that has their food locally sourced Read more
The server recommended 2-3 dishes per person for a full meal so we ordered 8 dishes (2 per person). We ordered the dim sum... turnip cakes, sweet corn fritters, ginger-scallion kale salad, cumin lamb and three sisters dumplings, rib tips withmiso-caramel brussel sprouts, mapo goat noodles and harvest moon curry. The dishes were very small for the price. We only got3-4 dumplings/fritters and a small bowl of noodles. The cumin lamb dumplings were amazing while the rib tips were a bitsalty. The others were mediocre. We also ordered the maple creme brûlée, carrot cake churros and s?mores. The brûlée wasn?twarm when it came out but it was well caramelized. The churros were unique-hint of sourness but sweet. The s?more was anincredibly sweet brownie with toasted marshmallows, graham crumbs and a few mint leaves. We were quite hungry after the maindishes but the desserts were filling. Our total was $110. the dishes were great but incredibly pricey. Unique take on Chinesecuisine. Read more
I love these dumplings! I purchase Mei Mei Dumplings at the Winchester farmers market. The potato, cheese, and scallion are... delicious, as are the pork and lemongrass. The dough is the perfect thickness and these fry up with a lovely golden crunch. Theyfreeze well and are just so much better than dumplings in most Chinese restaurants. Read more
