This place has such great dumplings! I am such a huge fan of dumplings & have tried many places for the prices & the quality this place has me coming back time & time again. The lady at the front is always super sweet & they give you a little fortune cookie(my favourite).
Im looking for the washroom but one of the crew was shouting on me. Theres no signage which way going to washroom. I went to the wrong way not intentionally. & he said to me I'm not asking. He's so Rude he is not supposed to shout on me. & I told him sorry if I didn't ask. But He is supposed to talk nicely & politely to his customer .
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!
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.

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
