Scallion pancake sandwiches, dumplings, and Asian-American fusion fare.
"The scallion pancake cheeseburger tastes like nostalgia and reminds of eating White Castle as a kid." - Erika Adams
"Started as a food truck and restaurant in Boston, this business, led by chef Irene Li, pivoted in 2020 to become a dumpling manufacturer and opened a dumpling factory in January; while products are currently sold locally, there are plans to expand nationwide. The move toward manufacturing is framed as a more sustainable model than traditional restaurant life, with a factory café operating limited hours to better suit workers’ schedules." - 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
