At Mei Mei, the cheerful spot reimagining Asian-American fusion, the standout scallion pancake sandwiches and creative dumplings showcase a playful twist on comfort food.
"The scallion pancake cheeseburger tastes like nostalgia and reminds of eating White Castle as a kid." - Erika Adams
"Boston chef and entrepreneur Irene Li pivoted Mei Mei, the food truck-turned-restaurant, into a dumpling company. Li closed Mei Mei’s dining room, then opened a dumpling factory in January. Mei Mei’s dumplings are currently available only locally, with plans to sell them nationwide." - Bettina Makalintal
"Dumpling destination Mei Mei opened its wholesale factory and daytime cafe in South Boston’s Iron Works development." - Erika Adams
"Mei Mei’s best-known item — an iconic Boston dish — is the Double Awesome, a scallion pancake sandwich full of pesto, cheddar, and oozy eggs (plus optional meat). As of press time, it’s out of stock, but sometimes fans of the sandwich can find a Double Awesome meal kit among Mei Mei’s offerings." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Fenway venue Mei Mei — which has moved on from its restaurant days and is now selling dumplings, teaching classes, and more — is crowdfunding on the NuMarket platform to fuel expansion of dumpling distribution nationwide." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
