“ I'm a big fan of Mei Lee's beef lo mein. I'd go so far as to say it's the best I've ever had. It's tasty, has fresh veggies that flavor it well...celery, onion,beansprouts, sno peas, mushroom, slivered carrot for color. The beef is marinated, tender, and flavorful. Theirchow mein has all the right ingredients, but I wish it was chopped up,more finely....that's simply a matter of taste, though, not a reflection on the quality of the product. I've tried a few other items...wonton soup is good...boneless ribs sweet and tasty, Don't know much about the rest of the menu,msince I go for the basics for takeout. If you want good old Chinese takeout, try it....you'll go back for more. ”
“ Best Chinese food in Salem Massachusetts Great price, delicious, fast delivery! Great service ”
“ I would have to disagree with LF's review. The things she had an issue with at this place, I would not expect from them. A more fancier restaurant maybe, but not at an average Chinese place in a plaza despite how small issues she had would seem. I've had their General Gau's chicken and I requested it extra crispy and extra spicy. I do not know the issue she had with it as it is prepared mostly the same at other restaurants I have been to in Mass and out of state. I gave this place three stars for their food and menu, and another star for their service and friendliness. The food is average. It's not bad by no means, but don't expect some extravagant meal. Everything is fast, simple and quick. On the plus it tastes good as well and the portions are large size. Even their lunch menu. It is worlds different from the previous owners as I ate here a lot living near by. Under the old owners, the food wasn't always fresh and didn't always taste good. It was a consistent issue. Not with the new owners. I would agree that their chicken teriyaki is a bit big portions and I have gotten it a bit to garlicy. I request that they add less garlic and they do it for me. I would say this place is consistent with their food and it doesn't taste bad at all. I would highly recommend going to them. They don't really do anything different than most regular Chinese places, but that isn't such a bad thing. Prices and decent, food is good, and there are large portions. I would recommend at least trying them once and seeing for yourself. ”
