The table setup often includes soy sauce, chili, and Chinese black vinegar, and the dumplings are repeatedly praised for freshness and flavor, served in traditional wooden steamers. Many reviews call it the best dumpling spot in the city or a reliable go to for quick, comforting meals, with some noting years of consistent quality and repeat visits. Overall, Meiwei Dumplings comes across as a beloved neighborhood favorite offering delicious, affordable dumplings and warm hospitality in a welcoming setting.
Always enjoy going to Meiwei's. Super affordable good dumplings. Cheaper in some cases than buying frozen dumplings from the store & about 100x better in my humble opinion.
The best! Their steamed dumplings are so good & always leave us wanting to come back again for more. Very sweet staff & speedy service, not to mention great prices for the amount of food. I'd recommend coming in the early afternoon or evening as the local high school kids can be a bit much after they finish school for the day (around 3:00pm/15heur) if they're there. Will definitely be back again soon!

Delicious authentic Chinese food. The Xiao long Bao (soup dumpling) is really good. Prices are decent, average. Nice couple who own & work there (I think). People come in here to dine in too, it's cute but not super atmospheric. Clean & tidy. I usually do take out. What I'm impressed by is the fact that at each table you get soy sauce, chili, & Chinese black vinegar!
Really enjoyed the warm food on a cold winter night & the cozy ambiance was very homely & welcoming. I had the hot & sour soup, spring rolls, tempura shrimp rolls, chicken coriander steamed dumplings & shrimp, pork & chives dumplings. 10/10 will def visit again
