I hesitated to write this review but thought, "Some other family shouldn't waste their hard-earned money." A co-worker recommended Mei's kitchen to me; she said, "It was the best." I should have asked, "Compared to what?" I ordered the ginger seafood rice noodle soup, hot and spicy beef, curry chicken, egg rolls, and chicken wings. I was eagerly excited since I had only had Chinese food once since living in Anchorage.
I was asked to pay over the phone since it was a large order, which I was agreeable to. Once I arrived, a very lovely man greeted me; we had a little banter about the increased cost of soda; he gave me a sample of their plum tea (VERY good, by the way), and I headed home. On to the food: the curry chicken was inedible; it tasted horrible and looked even worse. (What was I thinking about ordering curry from a Chinese restaurant anyway? The hot and spicy beef almost didn't look like beef and had no spice, although I did ask for mild spice. The shrimp fried rice had peas and carrots in it, which I do not prefer, but although it was edible, it lacked flavor and the "fried" component. The egg rolls were just not good at all, the chicken wings were decent (my husband and I did eat all of them), and last, the ginger seafood rice noodle bowl, despite me not trying it, my husband said it was good, and it did have a good variety of seafood. To sum it up, I will not be returning to Mei's Kitchen, but the customer service was good, and "hey," maybe there are some menu items I didn't try that are good.
