Best (and only) black pepper chicken (#128-A) I've even had! This is my go-to Chinese food place in Brooklyn. It's not too saucy if a dish, and has just the right amount of spice

I hope i enjoy the food from here I'm new to the town let's see
Hands down the best fried rice and gravy ever!!!! And they are so nice!
They only take cash but they're good. Particularly good is the black pepper chicken, which I haven't seen anywhere else. It's not saucy, but still flavorful. The lack of sauce makes it a non messy food - The same relationship as dry rub ribs vs regular ribs.
Went back after 20 plus years for the tomato egg drop soup. It's still amazing.
Mei Mei has had the best food from the time I moved here in 1974 until this day! I hope you will enjoy many of their dishes!

Mei Mei the original Owners and the owner after, their food was great back then, Food is to be desired, I ordered last time soup, they no longer put pork strips in it? the Beef chow fun was the dish we ordered Place COLD in winter, tables to eat, the kids used to do their homework of the owners, now the Ebike and cooters in hte room,, Prices were not on the Board, and would have gotten the lunch dish over the main small dish. thank you
The restaurant is located in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn. They prepare Chinese cuisine. Several tables are available for dining in but there are no servers. Soups 🍲, appetizers, entrees, noodles 🍜, chef's specialities, diet menu, combination plates, lunch specials, sides and beverages ☕️ are on the menu. Customers receive free items when they spend $20, $30, $40 and $60. Tax is included in the listed price. Cash-only establishment. I ordered hot and sour soup, steamed vegetable dumplings, dim sum, shrimp and lobster sauce and seafood pan fried noodles. The was average in taste and flavor.

Boneless ribs a little too fatty for me. I tasted better ones at other places. Just ok this time.
It was ok, wasn't different than most other places.

I travel all over the city for work and stop by periodically to eat in different cafes. I stopped by this cafe. I didn't like the taste of the dish I ordered, but of course it was fresh, everything was good, but the sauce was disgusting, they weren't the ones that should be there. I was in a hurry, I must have said something wrong, or for some reason she counted two orders instead of one. Since I was in a hurry, I took the order and left. Then I looked at the card and saw that two orders were taken off. I saw that I had two orders in my bag, but that was probably my inattention.
Too greasy literally heart attack food

Chicken and broccoli was disgusting !!!! Chicken was rubbery and hard . Broccoli was dry and tasted out the package . It’s the worse Chinese food around here hands down !
I wish I can give them a negative star. I'm a New Yorker I've been eating chinese food all my life sadly. I'm new to the neighborhood not even 2 months. And this is the most disgusting chinese food I have ever had in my life. I will never order from here again. The food looked very old. I also found weird things in my food. It wasn't edible at all. They should be shut down. 🤢🤢🤮🤮💩💩😡😡
Usually not bad,but today I ordered beef with brookoly and house specials fried rice,2 dishes, they put 2 in 1 and instead fry,give me colored regular one,shitlookiing.
