Mei Wei Chinese Restaurant

The food was so very good! The egg flower soup was the best I've had! The place was packed and it was a late lunch time. Very good experience. The staff were courteous and friendly!

Went here for dinner one evening and was greeted by the friendly staff and was taken to the table. My waitress was very friendly and quick on her feet. I ordered the dinner combination plate of mongolian chicken,chow mein, fried rice, and there was also 1 vegetable egg roll and 1 fried shrimp prawn. I also had their orange chicken and garlic chicken. The food was fresh, and it had good flavor, plus their portions were BIG!

**I really wish Google would allow me once a year to pick a place and add a 6th star, because this place would be it. ** I walked in here on the eve of Thanksgiving....10 minutes before they closed. I simply was not paying attention to time, or even knew what time it was to be honest. Once I realized this, I told them I would gladly leave and come back another day as I did not want to be "one of those people..." Anyone who has ever worked in any food service know exactly who I am referring too. However, everyone at the counter immediately told me to not worry and to sit down and get some food as there was a few families left in there still finishing up and "it's really not a big deal at all." I promised to order quick, eat quick, and pop smoke! Again, it was reinforced I need not rush and to relax and EAT! Oh man did I eat. I ordered the Orange chicken, I had seen pictures online and seen a few people reference the dish when reading reviews previously. I also placed an order to-go for my wife, who works nights (Beef and Broccoli). I am sure she gets tired of the lunches I pack, they aren't always 10s! My order came out so quick I barely had time to peruse the internet absentmindedly. In fact, normally when I eat alone I browse reddit while I eat just to multi task my ADHD away. Not tonight. I put my phone down and put 100% of my attention into the food. I will gladly state; this is by far, the BEST Chinese food I have had in probably a decade, if not ever. The meal came with a soup, I got the Hot and Sour. It was awesome. I inhaled it. Their Chow Mein is on a level of it's own, I would gladly order a 10 gallon bucket of it and unashamedly devour all of it in one go. It has freaking SPROUTS in it, how awesome is that?!! The spring onion, the hint of I believe sesame oil...11 out of 10. The orange chicken, is also an 11 out of 10. The dish comes with a spring roll (fried) and a breaded and fried shrimp. It was too much. I am a big dude, and I struggled to even finish the protein portion. Left half the Chow Mein for dinner....I mean lunch....Oh why lie? I will eat it in the middle of the night or probably for breakfast. I cannot stress how good those noodles are. Now, not only was the food on it's own worthy of 5 stars. The employees? Wow! Everyone was so nice, beyond nice, and welcoming. Even though I popped in 10 minutes before close (again, sorry my friends I wasn't paying attention), they never once rolled eyes, or made me feel like I was a burden in anyway. Even as the final families cleared out and I was left alone, shoveling this down as fast as I could to get out of their hair. They engaged me in conversation that was fun and spirited. We swapped stories, and I told them a bit of my travels and the food I have indulged in. I did let them know how they blew me away with kindness, generosity, and amazing food. Look. I have been to a lot, and I mean A LOT of places around this country, and the world. This place deserves as much success as they possibly can. You can see they have been here for a minute, and have a stellar review history as it is. I'm late to the party here, but I sure am glad I decided to pop in tonight. I will be back, but the next time I will not be alone. I am bringing everyone I can here. You know how In N Out is known for their cheerful employees and upbeat atmosphere? I know.... I worked for them for three years... This place reminded me of that. My only regret? I wish I would have asked for their names, I was in such a hurry to get out of there because I know what it's like to stay later than you need, it slipped my mind. Whomever worked tonight, I appreciate it. Thank you.

Best chinese food in all of Modesto in my opinion, food is super good, portions are insane for the price. Very friendly service , staff are always very nice and patient on the phone.

My first time in Modesto today and we looked for something a little different to eat. We were immediately greeted and seated when we walked in. Server was very attentive and friendly. She checked in just enough that my water cup was never empty which was awesome. The egg drop soup was delicious and came out at the exact right temperature. It was raining today so it was a perfect little treat. Then the food came. The plates were huge!! I only was able to eat a fourth of it and took the rest to go. The orange chicken was so good. It had a little spice an a crunch to it which I loved! The chowmein and fried rice were so good and flavorful that I didn’t need to add ANYTHING to them. Normally I have to add pepper or a little sauce to make it tastey but they did such a good job I ate it the way it came. I was so happy with the food. Also the price?? I was blown away by how affordable it is for a lunch plate. I can’t recommend this place enough.

One of the best spots in Modesto for Chinese food! The food is delicious! It's fresh, good cuts of chicken, and great portions at a fair price! I was extremely impressed. The orange chicken and chicken with green beans are some of the best I've had and very flavorful. I also enjoyed the hot tea. Service is quick and friendly. Lots of indoor dining and can accommodate big parties. We came on a Sunday around 2pm, they were pretty busy, but sat is right away. Seems like a favorite spot for locals. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

Absolutely DELICIOUS! We came for take out and was so satisfied with their service. When we got home they gave us a surprise. Free dumplings! Wow! Thank you so much. The food was so good. Definitely will be coming back. I LOVED their fried rice. ❤️

Delicious, great portions and very friendly! The house chow fun was the Star of the show among the plethora of food I ordered. Thank you guys will be back soon! 🤤

Best Chinese food The food is great The service is quick and the staff if very polite

Excellent decision to try this place. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is clean. The selection is plentiful and fresh. There was so much food leftover we ate off it for two days. Delicious for leftovers as well. Glad we tried, our new favorite place. Reasonable price! We'll be back

I would say this was disappointing especially after seeing positive reviews Maybe it didn't fit my flavor profile Properly won't go back

Came here for the first time for dinner and ordered takeout. We had 6 different items that were prepared fresh and ready in about 15-20 minutes. The staff was great. Very kind and friendly. The prices for the amount of food was great. They also infused some free potstickers for the amount of food we ordered which was very generous. The food was good and fresh. It was better than going to your typical panda express and we didn't have to wait much longer. I'd say its worth coming here.

I'm slightly disappointed with our visit tonight. We arrived at 7 PM but did not get our food until close to 8 PM. Though it took about maybe 10 minutes before we were seated. And their reasoning behind the delay was unexpected rush-hour customers. But still, between 40 12:55 hour is a little extreme for waiting for food. I don't know if it was because I was extremely hungry or that the food was really good but we ordered Mongolian chicken and sweet-and-sour pork, and it was possibly the best they have ever had at this location. We've been here quite often, so it is highly unlikely that they will lose our business.

Glad I came across this spot. They have an amazing family meal that's very affordable and delicious. Staff very friendly and attentive. Would def come back.

Decided to grab takeout this time, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The service was quick and efficient, which I appreciated. I ordered the beef with string beans, chicken chow mein, and substituted veggies for the fried rice. First off, the portion sizes for takeout are noticeably smaller than dining in, though it was still enough for a decent lunch. My meal included a fried egg roll, which was a nice touch. The chicken chow mein was tasty as always, though it came with just one piece of chicken--disappointing. The beef with string beans was flavorful and had a good amount of beef, but there were a lot of string beans. The biggest letdown was the side of veggies. They lacked any seasoning or flavor, and I ended up having to douse them in soy sauce to make them edible. For the $2 upcharge, it felt like a waste, and I wouldn't order it again. While the meal had some highlights, the inconsistency in portions and lack of flavor in the veggies left me underwhelmed. Next time, I might stick to dining in or skip the veggie substitution altogether.

Really delicious food. The taste was amazing and really flavorful. Also it was a great deal for the amount of food. The service was amazing, 2 ladies were on top of it. Brought out the soup and beverages immediately, and filled our waters timely. I wish I could come more often, but I don't live super close. Anyway, definitely recommend coming here. 10/10

I was in the mood for Chinese food the other day when we happened to drive by here. Im so glad we stopped here! Honestly, this just might be my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Three things that make this place great: amazing food, good portion sizes and incredible prices. I'll also note that service is great! The meals that come with a soup, fried rice and chow mein is the way to go. I went with the broccoli beef and everything was great. I highly recommend trying this out!

Food and service amazing Very tasty and great portions ! Ambiance isn't fancy but ok

Looking to get a quick lunch but not fast food. Saw this place close off the freeway and gave it a try. Food was amazing! We had salt and pepper pork chop... perfectly fried and not greasy. Honey glazed shrimp was hands down best we've ever had. Light batter and not overly sauced. Last we had BBQ pork fried rice which was flavor and a large portion. Service was very friendly and quick. Seems to be a popular place as it was full by the time we left.

Ate here a few times when I worked in the area and was never disappointed. The food was generous and delicious. Then I ordered out for dinner, took it home about 15 min away and myself and someone else got food poisoning. Haven't been back since. Was it a one off? Probably. But kinda hesitant to go back somewhere it has made you sick. I'm not saying I won't be back bc like I said I ate here multiple times. I would definitely eat in vs order out.

We went on Thursday afternoon, customers were there, not overcrowded which was nice. Lots and Lots of take out order though. The phone was ringing off the hook and lots of people coming in to place their to go orders. We ordered off the Lunch Special Menu and what a treat. The serving for the Lunch Special was so much. You could share it with another person. My husband ordered the Hot and Spicy Braised Chicken Combo. It included a soup (either hot and sour soup or egg flower soup). He chose the Egg Flower soup. It also came with an egg roll, Chicken chow mein, Pork Fried Rice. I selected the Sweet and Sour Shrimp Lunch Special. I also chose the egg flower soup and also received the Chicken Chow Mein, Pork Fried Rice. We have been looking for so long for a good restaurant for Chinese Food, WE FOUND IT. The staff was super nice, and I never saw the bottom of my soda cup. The Braised Chicken and Sweet and Sour Shrimp was nicely breaded and had that crunch when you bite into it, and sauced to perfection. The vegetables that came with the Sweet and Sour Shrimp so easy to bite into and NOT at all mushy. The Chicken Chow Mein I feel could be breakfast, lunch or dinner by itself. It was so so good. In my opinion the chicken was soft, and flavorful and I loved that it was noodles on top of noodles. Not like other places where it is loaded with vegetables and very little noodles. The Pork Fried rice was soft and delicious. Egg roll is meatless, still good. They offer Pepsi products for drinks. I just can't wait to go back and eat at this Restaurant, and try new dishes.

Looking for a place that makes sweet and sour shrimp and came across this gem of a place. The restaurant is small and clean. The waitresses that work there are fantastic. They kept the plates of food coming as well as the drink refills. We tried two appetizers, the green beans and the potstickers (gyoza) and they were pretty good. We had some pork chow main which was outstanding. The fried rice was decent. The steak with mushrooms was delightful, the steak was tender and I added some bean sprouts and that just set it over the top. We had the sweet and sour shrimp that was nice and fresh and then we also had some sweet and sour chicken that was phenomenal nice and crispy. Over all this place is a great spot to have a nice meal. Definitely will be coming back.

Tonight my GF and myself di a take out of their Asian food. I must say that the meal was excellent and the drive home was excellent, at my house the meal was excellent... Thank you Mei Wei for the excellent and tasty meal...Richard

Service and food is great. I ordered the orange chicken and let me tell you it is crunchy and the flavor is amazing. Definitely recommend it.

We really need to eat in at this place to give it a more accurate review, seems unfair to rate places only after getting it to go. I liked the garlic chicken and the chow mein was pretty good also. Pot stickers tasted well but by the time you get them home they are soggy but that's not their fault. They were crazy busy and quite impressive that they were able to handle the non stop phone ringing for orders, the seven or eight people that were picking up their to go and a full dining area. Looked like a family ran place so we will eat in and update later. Solid 3.5 stars for us on to go. 4.5 for service.

Great service, great food, so tasty. Good quality, quality and taste. Easy access, good website and so much more

i been here for the lunch and dinner specials. At a reasonable price I order the Mongolian beef, fried rice, chow mien, egg roll, cup of soup. The portions are huge and very flavorful. I would recommend giving this restaurant a try.

I love this place, the egg flower soup is one of the best. Also my fave Mongolian beef. Can't ever go wrong with that at all.

Best chinese in the 209. Authentic, affordable, great service, family owned. Lunch special is the move.

Chow mein was outstanding and so was the pork fried rice. I wasn't a huge fan of the orange chicken but that is because I felt the chicken could have been a bit crispier. The Kung Pao chicken was good a little heavy on the peanuts but great tasting. Overall a 5 star. Service was excellent and extremely helpful.

Best Chinese food in all of Modesto, unfortunately I live a ways a way now but whenever I'm in town and craving Chinese food, this is the place for me. The portions are great especially the price of them. The best combos in my opinion are the braised chicken and the orange chicken as well as the lemon chicken!

Food has always been great when I go here. Very friendly. Busy during weekends but still good food. I've been going here for about 3 years now and haven't been disappointed yet. Spicy orange chicken is my favorite.

Delicious food! The potstickers are my favorite! Service was fast and friendly! And yes, we're coming back!

Their food is good and plates are filled to capacity. Service is very good and the staff is courteous and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Think it's the best place for Chinese food in our area of town. It is certainly our favorite

It's not much to look at, but it's clean and friendly. Most importantly, the food is good. It's presented well, appropriate temperature and tasty. Good value for the money.

The food is super god and not greasy how most Chinese food places are, the servings are very good and very cheap especially going for lunch plates before 3:30 it's served with egg roll and soup and a mountain of food that I guarantee you won't be able to finish. My only small complaint would be how little of chicken was in the kung pao I only had legit about 5 pieces of chicken in it. I had asked for a small plate of chicken considering there was nun in it, which they had brought be and not charged me so In all it's a great place.

Nice Asian fusion spot we stopped at while driving through Modesto. I had a craving for Thai food and used Yelp to find this spot. Service was good and also quick. They give a lot of rice and noodles. I do wish they gave more protein but it was decent. Regardless, the food was good. Price was affordable as well. This is a great option if you're ever in the area.

Ordered the lunch specials. We did the Mongolian beef with the rice and chow mein combo. Food was good and hot. Each plate comes with a roll. Didn't care for the orange chicken, garlic chicken or generals chicken. Weird cuts and taste.

I've been eating here for years since it's only a couple blocks from work. I've brought take out home for my family and I have picked up take out here for coworkers everyone always says it's delicious!! My coworkers now started going for their family as well. Food is always made fresh, hot, flavorful, and are great portions for the price. Employees are always kind and I've never had a bad experience.

The food here was amazing. My husband is very picky and this is the first place that he wants to get food from again. Service was fast and had my order ready right when I got there.

Good food, huge portions, my wife and I loved it. Definitely recommended this restaurant.

Very good food, but my husbands was overly spicy HOT. So on our next visit he will ask them to prepare with less red peppers. What I ordered was just the right amount of spicy hot. But we really enjoyed our visit. Average priced with large portions.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Modesto food is so flavorful and comes out hot not like other places. . Nice and clean place to enjoy lunch or dinner. I got the Mongolian chicken with chicken chowmein 10/10. Friendly staff fast service 10/10 highly recommend. Nice place to enjoy lunch or dinner

Discovering our new favorite Chinese food spot under new ownership, with a menu that pleases everyone, even my picky husband. The Kung Pao chicken was a standout dish with bold and spicy flavors. Fair prices and quality food. Professional and nice service over the phone. Must try and we highly recommend.

Searched Yelp For a Chinese restaurant in Modesto and this one first popped out. Lesson learned: Don't believe the high reviews this restaurant got. Delivery time: more than 1 hour! Food- NOT good at all! The girls working Infront have attitudes, did not even apologize for the wait time and did not care! Don't waste your time and money here!

Extremely long wait to get food (really long). Ended up just asking for it to go and still had another 15 min wait for the food. The place was not busy at this time as well.

Food is great, but I think you all raised your prices. Service, this great. The people that work here are very friendly. Nice,quite friendly.

The best Chinese food in all of Modesto I eat there all the time great flavor the food is fresh always on point eat there you'll love it

This was our first time here and everything was amazing. From the appetizers to the entrees. The food tasted amazing and my favorite part was that every item came out piping hot. The service was really good as well. The server always checked on us and our food was brought out at a timely matter.

It used to be really good. We went in tonight ordered the fried calamari appetizer to start. It was so tough you could not chew it sent it back. My wife ordered the lemon chicken combo. The chicken and breading was so tough she couldn't even penetrate it with a fork. Called Mei the owner over whom we've known for years. All she could do was make excuses like no one else has complained. My wife showed her that she couldn't even stick a fork in the chicken. No apologies we left and will not be back.

Delicious food and great portions. Can never go wrong with this place. Great service too, Girls were very sweet and try their best. will definitely be going back.

First time trying this place and they're definitely on my top 3 in Modesto. Flavors were there... only complaints I have are the chow mein is too saucy and my shrimp wasn't saucy enough. It's supposed to be tossed in a sauce after fried but there was t enough sauce. The woman was super friendly and welcoming. Tables are good spacing between for being a smaller restaurant. It would be cool if they had some music or background something playing because you can literally hear everyone's conversation and if not then it's awkwardly quiet. Overall the food is definitely worth our longer drive to get here.

I haven't found another Chinese restaurant in Modesto that beats this one with pricing, portions and most importantly taste. I liked the service and food was great.

The Great Gal, as usual, found this gem in a strip mall in Modesto, CA. Will share that I gave an overall rating of Four because they don't serve alcohol. I wanted a Tsing Tao to go with the food, and they only had Pepsi for a soft drink. Other than that, all Fives for Virginia's polite attentive service, including helping to pack up the ^doggie bag"... nawww, it was our people bag as we enjoyed the fare again that evening. Our meal was big in volume and value as we plenty to take home with us. The pot still kers were huge, hot and tasty. The BBQ rice was moist and busy with flavor. Likewise with the orange chicken and our fav, the chili shrimp. Sum it up! Great service, dang good food and plenty of it! Well worth the visit!

The best Chinese food (quality and quantity) in Modesto. Def my go to place when craving Chinese food

Tried MeI Wei Chinese Restaurant for lunch. They offer Lunch Combo plates at a reasonable price. I called in my order for pick up and in 15 minutes it was ready to go. I had the lunch combo with sweet & sour chicken! It was very good. If you are looking for a quick place to get lunch, I would recommend this place. Located in a shopping center there was plenty of parking to get in and out of this restaurant and the food is good a priced reasonably.

I have been going here for years, always had great food and great service. I am glad I found my families favorite place for Chinese food in Modesto area.
