Mei Wei

I've been a fan of Chinese food for as long as I can remember. I have gone all over New England enjoying this cuisine at all the top spots. This place is truly a Diamond in the rough. Tucked away at Mill Rd. Plaza, in Durham, I first experienced Mei Wei as a Refrigeration tech. I noticed the kitchen was cleaner other spots around. Finally I found a "go" for Chinese food. The vegetables are always fresh and crispy. The sushi is exceptional and so is everything else. The service is top notch. After eating here it has ruined going out anywhere else. FACTS - THE BEST CHINESE IN THE STATE!!!! And pretty much the entire New England area. 🙏

Have been ordering from here on doordash for quite awhile. But I made a big order three days ago. Just now getting to my low mein. And there was a nice piece of metal in it. I have no idea how much I could have possibly eaten. Will never order from here again. That's unacceptable. I can never feel comfortable with food from here ever again. Also! It's not foil. It's thick metal. I used no foil to cover or store. Right from the to go container to a bowl with a paper towel then into the microwave, surprised it didn't mess up my microwave. If I have health issues from this it will become a major issue. Update:The response from the owners was great. I understand how this could have happened. Stuff happens, people have bad days, and serious issues can occur. I'm not upset about this, and I have no intentions of pushing this point if no complications occur. I feel as though they are responding to this properly and taking the necessary precautions to make sure this never happens again. Will more then likely visit to verify. But I have faith this is not a poorly managed establishment and all steps will be properly taken.

Had never ordered from this place before. What a disappointment. Beef teriyaki had no teriyaki. Fried rice was undercooked and horribly dry. I ordered a favorite of mine, General Tso Chicken, and it was the worst flavor. It tasted old. Like a few days old. Not any chicken but a lot of friend batter. Was missing an order of crab rangoons. Ordered the beef lo mein. What kind of meat is exactly in the beef lo mein? Because it isn't beef. Truly isn't. Artificial or tofu maybe? Not beef. I won't ever order again. Thank goodness that Door Dash reimbursed me my money for the experience. Lesson learned. Didn't eat more than a bite of each item. It became trash. Do better. You're prices are high. Make better quality food.

I recommend going to Mei Wei when passing by. Here's a little of some food that I enjoy ☺️. Shrimp tempura roll: the tempura is chrunchy on the outside and shrimp inside.(I recommend eating it once you get it cause the chrunch will get soggy cause of the sauce.). Another food I enjoy is the fried gyoza. It's chrunchy on the outside and is flavor full it especially taste good with the dumpling sauce. A good time to get food there is 2-3pm cause it's not too busy at that but you can do it whenever you want. I recommend trying out Mei Wei ✨☺️✨

We go here from time to time for Chinese food, usually to take home since it's five minutes from where we live. The prices are reasonable and the food is OK, but it isn't our first or second favorite Chinese food location. It will do fine, but it isn't great. I like the food when I get it, but I always give the leftovers to the chickens. I will drive the extra twenty minutes to other places most times.
