Fodor's Expert Review Mei Mei Restaurant

After hitting the culinary jackpot with their wildly successful Chinese-American comfort-food truck several years ago, siblings Andrew, Margaret, and Irene Li brought the same concept to this casual exposed-brick and hardwood eatery. Now run by youngest sister Irene, the restaurant uses as many local, sustainable, and humanely raised ingredients as possible to create a tempting menu, with The Double Awesome scallion pancake sandwich a favorite mainstay. Curries, noodle dishes, dumplings, and salads round out the restaurant's offerings, along with a carefully chosen selection of Asian cocktails, beer, and wine. With a casual vibe, laudable mission, and lip-smacking food, this popular spot is a local favorite.
